Lin Jingrong looked at the sun gradually setting outside the car window and asked, "Chaochao, do we want to enter the palace so late to meet the saint?"

Xie Chunchao smiled and said, "How can I look urgent and pious if I don't go now?"

Lin Jingrong looked confused and said, "But now you have to unlock the palace gate. Isn't it against the rules?"

Xie Chunchao chuckled, "Don't worry, Uncle Huang won't blame us."

She said, her eyes turning into crescent moons as she smiled, "On the contrary, he will be very happy, and maybe he will reward you and me."

Xie Chunchao also did a lot of unruly things. If she came back from the border and became polite, wouldn't she arouse the suspicion of the already suspicious emperor?

Moreover, when she was at the border, the emperor issued two imperial edicts urging her to come back. If she didn't rush to the palace to see the emperor on the day she came back, how could she show her loyalty and sincerity to the emperor?

When Lin Jingrong heard this, she smiled and said, "Yes, the emperor always favors you."

Xie Chunchao glanced sideways at Lin Jingrong's face. She hadn't told Lin Jingrong about their family's plan to rebel in ten days, and she wasn't going to tell him either.

He will know after the matter settles.

"Shocking, I want to ask you a favor."

"what's up?"

"My mother-in-law said that she is not feeling well. I heard that the Jueyin Temple in Changtai is very efficacious. Can you go to Jueyin Temple for me to pray for my mother-in-law?"

"It won't take long, just a month."

Changtai is about two days' journey from Shanngling, so it takes four days to go back and forth.

"Do we have to go to Jueyin Temple?" Lin Jingrong looked into Xie Chunchao's eyes and asked, "Isn't it possible to go to the Jokhang Temple in Yanshan?"

"Sorry." Xie Chunchao said, "I heard that Jueyin Temple is more effective in praying for family health."

Lin Jingrong lowered his eyelashes. He knew that Xie Chunchao suddenly found a reason to send him away because they were afraid that they were about to take action.

"Okay, when should I leave?"

Xie Chunchao: "We'll leave as soon as we get back from the palace."

Lin Jingrong stared into her eyes, with emotions surging in her heart. She seemed to have a thousand words to ask, but the last thing she said was, "Okay."

When you let me go, do you not believe me or are you worried about me?

A ray of the setting sun outside the car squeezed into the carriage through the wind-blown curtain, and all fell on his face, giving him a layer of warm orange light, like a god left behind in the world.

Xie Chunchao seemed to be attracted by his beauty and unconsciously raised her hand to touch the side of his face.

If they are unlucky, once he passes away, they may never be able to see each other again in this life.

Lin Jingrong tilted his head and rubbed her palm, squinting at her with his narrow peach blossom eyes, like a seductive little hook, "Why does Chao Chao have this expression? It's only been a month, and it's not like he will never see it again. "

"Yes, it's only a month." Xie Chunchao realized that he was too emotional and was about to take back his hand, but was held down by Lin Jingrong instead.

His hands had become as hot as fire.

Xie Chunchao was in a daze. She still vaguely remembered that when they were newly married, his hands were as cold as jade.

"But..." Lin Jingrong stared at her with his deep eyes and said hoarsely, "A month is a long time."

"I dont want you to go."

He pressed her hand with one hand and kept leaning forward, like a beast staring at its prey, or like the branches tightly wrapped around the trunk of a tree. Xie Chunchao looked at his face that was getting closer, her little face became hotter and hotter, and her heart unconsciously Started to beat violently...

Her red lips parted slightly, and she unconsciously repeated what he had just said, "It's only a month..."

"quickly."

"It won't be fast." He continued in a hoarse voice, the tip of his nose already touching the tip of hers, "When Chao Chao is away, my days are like years. January 30th will be thirty years."

"Chaochao, how am I going to spend thirty years without you?" Xie Chunchao bit his lower lip, "How can you calculate it like this? Thirty days is thirty days."

"But it's longer than thirty years for me."

Xie Chunchao's hand was still close to Lin Jingrong's face, and the scorching temperature of his palm made her heart boil.

His shallow breath fell on her face, like dandelions dancing on her face, and the itch that was enough to make her soul tremble hit her in waves.

"Chaochao, can I kiss you?"

Xie Chunchao blushed and didn't know how to answer.

"May I?"

"But...it's okay."

With Xie Chunchao's permission, Lin Jingrong carefully placed his lips on hers.

This was not the first time they kissed, but for Lin Jingrong, every novel experience brought to him was no different from the first time.

He sucked her lips tenderly and delicately, wrapping her in it like warm water, and carried her slowly to a distance.

Xie Chunchao felt that the small car was getting hotter and hotter, as if she was melting into his arms.

The world around them became quiet, leaving only the sound of each other's heartbeats.

I don't know how much time passed before Lin Jingrong let her go. His dark eyes looked at her face with a look of contentment. His lips, which were originally light-colored, were now as red as cherries hanging on the branches. generally.

However, Xie Chunchao's appearance was not much better than him.

She fell limply in Lin Jingrong's arms, her face was flushed, and there were still glistening water stains on her mouth, reflecting the tiny light, which made Lin Jingrong want to come up and kiss her again.

But before I put this idea into action, I heard a sound outside the carriage.

"Princess, Young Master, the palace gate has arrived."

When Xie Chunchao heard this, she immediately got up from Lin Jingrong's arms. She neatly wiped her lips with a silk handkerchief. The blush on her face gradually faded away, and she said with her usual expression, "Okay."

Lin Jingrong was in a daze. He had never seen a woman who was shy in his arms one second and then looked normal the next.

This made him begin to suspect that Xie Chunchao's shy and seemingly intoxicated look just now was not an act, right?

He couldn't help but turned his head and touched his face. Is he really so unattractive?

Lin Jingrong once again doubted his own charm.

"Don't be in a daze, get out of the car quickly."

"Okay." Lin Jingrong was distracted and got out of the carriage in a daze.

Xie Chunchao adjusted the hem of her skirt, and then entered the palace dignifiedly holding Lin Jingrong's arm.

After all, Xie Chunchao was a female relative, so she did not go directly to the Taiji Hall to meet the emperor. Instead, she first went to Fengyi Palace where the empress lived to meet the empress.

"My daughter pays homage to the Queen."

"I pay my respects to the Queen."

As soon as Xie Chunchao and Lin Jingrong entered Fengyi Hall, they bowed and saluted the queen.

Seeing this, the queen got up from the couch, affectionately took Xie Chunchao's hand and helped her up.

Due to the difference between men and women, the queen did not help Lin look shocked. She just said to him, "Good boy, get up quickly."

In the past, the queen's favor towards Xie Chunchao was only due to the emperor's liking and the power behind her, but today she looked at her with more sincerity.
