These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

"Your Majesty need not worry. Some things do not necessarily require an answer right now."

Cui Hao left the imperial study.

Ye Bingluan remained silent in her chair for a long time, while Wei Tu observed the young woman's expression.

"What are you thinking?"

Ye Bingluan looked at Wei Tu and asked, "Do you think what those people said is true?"

Wei Tu had no reason to lie out of consideration for the other person's feelings, especially since this woman was not that fragile.

So he answered based on his own judgment.

"I think it's pretty close. This knife might be intricately connected to your situation, and might even reveal some secret, although I don't know in what form yet, but... you do have special circumstances."

"Is that so? Are you trying to persuade me to go and take a look?"

Ye Bingluan looked at Wei Tu.

Wei Tu shook his head. "This isn't the most urgent thing right now. Knowing about this sooner or later won't have much of an impact, and you don't know what your life will be like if you really find out this secret—whether it will be simpler and happier, or more complicated and struggling. It's a risky thing. My advice is, if you can't see the benefits, don't do something that you know has a lot of risks."

This is indeed Wei Tu's style of doing things.

So far, everything the boy has done has been related to himself, and he already knows what he will gain and what risks he will avoid before taking any risks.

He does not advocate taking risks prematurely for things that are not important at the moment.

It's foolish to worry about ethics and morality.

Others may care about your nobility, and they will indeed sing your praises after you die.

But then what? This logic isn't exactly respectable, or even positive.

However, such rules are undoubtedly more realistic in this world.

Ye Bingluan nodded thoughtfully.

"Then let's talk about it later. It's not the most important thing right now."

She rubbed her temples.

Indeed, some things may seem unimportant, but they can greatly affect your emotions, causing you to suddenly start overthinking and even making you unsure of what to do in the moment.

Wei Tu knew that this woman was probably in this state.

He didn't say much, but walked over and placed his hand on the woman's temple, as if he were desecrating the young empress.

However, apart from his fingers, he did not touch Ye Bingluan anywhere else.

A warm current gently flowed into the woman's body, making her head feel warm and comfortable, and she didn't want to think about anything.

In situations like this, what's more effective than offering advice or comfort is to let her temporarily put everything aside and stop thinking about anything.

People don't need to think thoroughly at all times. Although thinking doesn't make you sweat, it will leave you physically and mentally exhausted.

Ye Bingluan squinted comfortably, feeling a soothing sensation flowing through her entire body.

She didn't want to think about anything else, and could only feel his tenderness in the sunlight blocked by the window.

It's a very rare kind of gentleness.

This boy always said things that were annoying, but he also gave me warmth when I needed it most.

Really cunning...

She couldn't say she disliked it, but often, in retrospect, she felt she had fallen into the boy's trap.

But what can you do? You willingly jump into this trap. Even knowing how bizarre the story is, even knowing his malicious intentions, you are still hopelessly dependent on him, and even want him to persecute you like this for the rest of your life.

"Are you feeling any better?"

The young man asked in a soft voice.

The woman in the dragon robe gave a mumbled "hmm."

Wei Tu slowly released his hand, but Ye Bingluan suddenly grabbed it.

He looked down at Ye Bingluan's exquisite face, and the woman looked up, her misty eyes fixed on him.

The blush on her cheeks was just right, not too heavy or overdone.

"It's not very good yet."

"Then... a little longer?"

"Yes, I want more."

The woman didn't seem to care at all that her words were misunderstood, and fortunately, Wei Tu didn't seem to be trying to stir up any romantic tension.

So he continued to place his fingers on her temples, using his warm breath to soothe her body.

And so it was quiet, with only the sound of their breathing and heartbeats.

After a long silence, I enjoyed a moment of peace and tranquility.

Then Ye Bingluan spoke slowly.

"Master?"

"Ok?"

"Is there anything you'll never give up?"

She suddenly asked this question.

Wei Tu thought for a moment.

"Of course."

"what is it then?"

"The people around me".

He spoke simply, yet his words contained a great deal of meaning. He knew she understood, so he didn't need to explain it too clearly.

I have some sense of shame too.

As expected, Ye Bingluan chuckled.

"Master must have a lot of trouble with so many female confidantes."

"Fortunately, they don't have too many problems."

"Is it really not much?"

Wei Tu couldn't help but ask himself, "Is it really not much?"

It seems that only my senior sister, who has a baby, has fewer problems. The others either make a mess of things themselves or have a more difficult life.

"Ahem, why are you asking this?"

"I'm just curious. I'm curious about the extent to which you would go for them, how they feel about staying by your side, and how much they're willing to sacrifice for you..."

This topic just came up suddenly.

Wei Tu thought that this might just be a woman's divergent thinking, and there was no point in investigating the reason.

The warm atmosphere made him involuntarily immerse himself in his memories.

A warm smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

"Don't think about such things; you'll find out later."

Is there really a chance?

Ye Bingluan chuckled softly.

Wei Tu said with a laugh, "Didn't you say it yourself in the future? You love saying 'in the future' the most."

"That makes sense, but Master, you need to be prepared."

"what?"

"I'm probably more complicated than you think, and I have more to carry. So even if you find me too troublesome in the future and don't want to take care of me anymore, you can just say so."

"Will you do that?"

"will not."

Ye Bingluan chuckled slyly.

Wei Tu reached out and ruffled her hair.

A delicate fragrance filled the air, mingling with her laughter. PS: It turns out winter isn't a good time for writing; I want to sleep after writing for a while.

50. Beautiful scenery should be reserved for the right people.

They entered the city in a grand procession, and then left in a sorry state. This is probably the most accurate description of the envoys from Chechi Kingdom.

Under Ye Bingluan's tough stance, it seemed that she didn't gain any benefits, except for eating free meals for a few days.

Naturally, Ye Bingluan's current situation can be considered easily resolved.

Wei Tu was arranged to stay temporarily outside the imperial city, but he did not intend to stay for more than a few days.

It was also his own request not to live in the palace. Although Ye Bingluan could easily arrange this, he decided against it. Having finally come to the mortal realm, Wei Tu could at least live as an ordinary person.

When I have nothing to do, I go out for a stroll during the day and look at some interesting little items.

Or perhaps they smelled a pleasant aroma, tasted a few dishes, or ate some pastries.

It's unrealistic to take it back, but Wei Tu has learned a few good dishes, which he can cook for the women on the mountain.

In the afternoon, Wei Tu sat at a tea stall by the roadside, the street bustling with noise.

Amidst the bustling crowd, a somewhat familiar figure came into view.

Wei Tu watched as she sat leisurely across from him.

"Master Wei."

Although her appearance is average, Ming Xiangrong's eyes are quite beautiful, but they can only slightly salvage her otherwise unremarkable face.

Having a pretty face is not everything for a person.
