Work overtime

In the sedan chair, Li Beichen and Jiang Yuebai were sitting side by side.

He held Jiang Yuebai's hand in his and caressed it unconsciously, over and over again.

Li Beichen was very satisfied with Jiang Yuebai's performance tonight.

He knew she was tired and in pain.He wouldn't blame her if she didn't come with him.But she came with him even though she was in pain and sleepy, and she put herself first in everything. He couldn't help but be moved.

On countless such dark nights, he was the one enduring loneliness and fear alone.

Now there is a woman telling him that she is where he is.

How could he not put it at the forefront of his heart for a woman who loved him so passionately?

The sound of wheels hitting the stone road was particularly clear in the middle of the night. Jiang Yuebai almost closed his eyes and fell asleep as he swayed.

The moment she closed her eyes, a gentle hand suddenly touched her cheek. She instinctively ducked back and opened her eyes.

"Sleepy? Lie on my lap and take a nap."

Li Beichen sat up straight and pushed the leather belt around his waist upwards to prevent it from hurting Jiang Yuebai's cheeks.

He stretched out his hand and gently pulled Jiang Yuebai's head over to lie on his lap. He held her hand with one hand and put the other hand gently on her back.

Gentle and meticulous.

This is the leader's concern for his subordinates working overtime late at night and condolences to them. Jiang Yuebai did not dare to be arrogant, but he did not refuse: "I thank the emperor for his grace."

When he said this, Jiang Yuebai's voice was hoarse, which completely made Li Beichen feel pity for him: "If you can't sleep, lie down for a while."

Jiang Yuebai lay down obediently.

His breath was hot on Li Beichen's legs.

Li Beichen's lips curled up.

He didn't know that being with Jiang Yuebai would always make him want to laugh uncontrollably.

This was the first time in his life that a woman lay on his lap.

Her body was fragrant, soft, and warm.

Clothes and arms may accidentally touch some places.

This is a very strange and new feeling.

My heart felt soft and a little awkward.

He even vaguely smelled something special, and couldn't help but recall the previous romantic scenes in his mind, and his heart palpitated.

Jiang Yuebai pretended to be unaware of the emperor's changes and fell asleep soberly.

Li Beichen began to recite the contents of "The Analects" in his mind, trying to calm the distracting thoughts in his heart, but it didn't have much effect.In desperation, I had no choice but to recite Amitabha Buddha with concentration, and then gradually became calm.

The two of them remained silent along the way, but Li Beichen felt a sense of peace that he had not seen for a long time.

After arriving at Yongshou Palace, Li Beichen stared at Jiang Yuebai's green face with pity, and solemnly asked again, "Jiaojiao, you should stay in the chariot."

"I want to stay with the emperor. It's dark inside the carriage. It's so late at night. I don't know if the emperor is there. I feel scared when the emperor is not here."

Jiang Yuebai just stated the facts in a calm tone. To Li Beichen's ears, he was acting coquettishly suppressing fear.

He originally expected to hear Jiang Yuebai say that he was "not afraid", "it's okay", "don't mind it at all" and other aggressive words, but he didn't expect that she would show weakness.

This made him instinctively protective.

He was afraid that Jiang Yuebai couldn't see clearly and had a sprained foot, so he simply carried Jiang Yuebai out of the sedan chair and helped her stand firm before letting go.

Completely ignoring Concubine Jing, the maids who came to greet her stood in a row.Concubine Jing was overjoyed when she heard that the emperor really came to see her.The emperor has himself in his heart.

She felt very uncomfortable when she heard that Xie Guiren was arranged to sleep with her again tonight.Later, thinking that Jiang Yuebai might sleep with him all night, I felt even more uncomfortable.

I knew it was wrong to stay up all night like this, but I just couldn't control my random thoughts and felt heartbroken.I just wanted to have the Emperor with me at night.

It wasn't until this moment that she heard that the emperor had come to accompany her, and her heart became brighter.

The moment she saw the emperor's bright yellow clothes, she was so happy that she almost cried, "It is my concubine's fault to disturb the emperor's sleep late at night."

Seeing that Jiang Yuebai was not following behind her, Concubine Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Beichen sat down on the chair next to the bed, "If you know it's a sin, don't bother with it. Are you feeling better?"

Concubine Jing looked at the emperor aggrievedly, "When I just fell asleep, I felt my stomach was tight and I was a little worried."

That is to say, there is nothing to do at all, just tormenting me in the middle of the night.

Li Beichen suppressed the anger in his heart and said extremely seriously: "You have to sleep well, eat well, and don't think nonsense. I remember that Xia Bin stayed up in the middle of the night and tormented the child."

He turned his head and glared at Biyue and Lanxing, who were looking aside, "You can't comfort my good master? What's the use of you? Since I'm here to serve you, you should solve the master's problems and make him happy. Drag them all out for me. Hit twenty big boards!”

When Biyue heard the emperor's punishment, she was dizzy and frightened. She quickly knelt on the ground and admitted her mistake, "This slave is wrong. Your Majesty, please spare my life."

Lan Xing also knelt on the ground to admit his mistake, but he was much calmer. He kowtowed his forehead to the ground and said, "I beg the emperor to give me a chance to make amends."

Concubine Jing's eyes were red and fluttering, "Please forgive them, Your Majesty. I don't blame them, it's my concubine. I can't sleep thinking about the Emperor."

Li Beichen softened his voice and showed his distress: "I know you are thinking of me. If you are unhappy, I feel sorry for you too. How can you not eat well and sleep well like this without a smart and sensible person to take care of you? I Let Dafu arrange two more clever little girls for you to serve you closely, talk with you, and make you happy."

Concubine Jing's tears rolled down one by one.

Seeing that Concubine Jing started to cry again, Li Beichen continued to comfort her, fearing that she might have fetal motility, "Listen to me, lie down now, don't think about anything, and sleep well. Don't worry, the doctor will be here soon."

Concubine Jing remained silent, just lowered her eyes and shed tears.

"Be obedient and stop crying. It's not good for the baby in your belly."

Li Beichen stood up impatiently, sat on the edge of the bed, hesitated for a moment, then reached out to wipe the tears from Concubine Jing's face, "I am going to the morning court now. Be obedient and stop crying."

I have to go to court early and have a lot of things to worry about.A bunch of people are staring at my position. If I'm not careful, the throne may not be secure.Stop making trouble.

Concubine Jing took the initiative and leaned into Li Beichen's arms.She really wanted the emperor to stay with her for a while longer.

But she also knew that the emperor was indeed going to court early.He raised his head and looked at the emperor, only to see his eyes looking forward, as if he was thinking about something.

When the emperor looked down at her, his brows furrowed and he said, "Be obedient. Stop making trouble."

My patience has been exhausted, I am full of exhaustion, and I feel so tired.

Concubine Jing opened her big tearful eyes, and another tear rolled down, "I want to see the emperor every day. As long as I can't see the emperor, I feel very uncomfortable."

Why does Jiang Yuebai have such privileges?I want it too!
This was one of the purposes of her deliberate torment in the middle of the night: to ask the emperor to visit her and accompany her every day from now on.

Concubine Jing was used to making such arrogant and willful demands, and now it sounded a bit threatening to Li Beichen's ears.What those in power resent most is being threatened.

Li Beichen only felt upset and wanted to get angry.But we can only endure it for now and wait for the storm to pass.

He coaxed patiently, "Be obedient and stop making trouble. I'll come see you when I have time."

"My concubine is not making trouble." Concubine Jing hurriedly defended.

Chapter 403 has been significantly supplemented and revised.I've been a little busy these past few days, and I haven't saved many manuscripts.Woohoo~

Fortunately, the Taoist heart is firm and never forgets the original intention ~ Good night ~
