Her fair and delicate cheek was warm, like a piece of overly soft mutton-fat jade.

"I'm not here, am I? What's there to worry about?"

Xiao Heyun looked at her steadily. His overly deep eyes seemed to be lit up with stars, and there was a beautiful light when he looked at people.

“I just feel like I’m dreaming.”

He leaned over and kissed her, then stroked her long black hair impatiently.

I don't know why, but he suddenly became very clingy, like a large beast always wanting to act coquettishly.

Nangong Yuan was kissed by him and hid back. She couldn't help but grab his hair and said, "Stop kissing me."

"why?"

He paused, and there seemed to be a hint of grievance in his eyes.

"Uh...you kissed me so hard that it's swollen. How am I going to go out and meet people tomorrow?"

Xiao Heyun thought for a moment and said, "Then take your leave. I heard about tomorrow's event at the court meeting, so it's okay if you don't show up."

Who knew that Nangong Yuan would shake her head and say, "No, I still have to plan how to deal with King Li. If I don't go...what if I miss the opportunity?"

"I'll go. King Li is desperate now. You can't tell when he will go crazy. Stay away from him."

Nangong Yuan rubbed his earlobe and asked, "Then is it safe for you to get close to him?"

"We've fought for so many years, we at least understand each other. What's more, I'm thick-skinned, so it's okay."

"I can't bear to let you go out and face him alone. Let's go together."

Nangong Yuan kissed the corner of his lips and lay back down.

The man seemed to be stunned. He touched his lips blankly, and then smiled foolishly the next moment.

"You are stupid. If people see you like this, where will your dignity as the Night King be?"

Xiao Heyun shook his head: "I don't want those. As long as A Yuan is by my side, I don't need anything else."

He held Nangong Yuan in his arms and rubbed her lower back.

This action was so smooth that Nangong Yuan had the illusion that the two people seemed to be very compatible.

"Are you tired? Go to sleep first. It will be dawn soon."

Nangong Yuan lay on his chest and said after a while: "Why are you wearing clothes? Take them off."

The man looked at her with some resentment: "Didn't you say it was too hot? So I put on my clothes."

"it does not matter."

Nangong Yuan lifted up his shirt, kicked the troublesome white shirt under her feet, and put her hands on his strong abdomen and chest.

“A Yuan…you…”

But Nangong Yuan didn't seem to notice his change. She just buried her face in his shoulder and closed her eyes again.

Xiao Heyun took a deep breath, closed his eyes and patted her back.

His actions, like coaxing a child, seemed clumsy, but they made people feel warm.

Nangong Yuan smelled the faint fragrance on his body, and her originally clear mind suddenly became confused.

"Tomorrow, remember to wake me up early. I still have something to do."

"what's up?"

"Go meet Shen Jingyi, then go to the parade ground to see how the people I brought are settled, and go to the palace to see what His Majesty plans to do next."

Nangong Yuan thought about it and that was probably all.

If I don’t sleep now, I really won’t be able to get up tomorrow.

For some reason, she didn't have that much energy after returning to Kyoto.

Perhaps it was because my nerves had been tense for too long and when I suddenly relaxed, I couldn't hold on any longer.

Soon, Nangong Yuan fell asleep in his arms.

Perhaps because his posture was a little awkward, he started snoring a little.

Xiao Heyun adjusted her position so that she could sleep more comfortably.

I originally wanted to rest as soon as possible, but looking at her face so close to me, I felt reluctant.

He didn't know when would be the next time he would be able to hold her in such a warm and peaceful manner, so he cherished this moment even more.

Looking at her peaceful face, he just wanted time to stay like this forever and never go away.

"A Yuan, please don't leave me, okay?"

He put his arm around Nangong Yuan with one hand and fanned her with the other.

The person in his arms had a slightly red cheek, but he was unwilling to move away even though it was hot.

So the two of them stayed close together and slept in each other's arms in this not-too-hot night.

··········

The next day, it was already afternoon when Nangong Yuan got up.

She stretched and felt a little sore in her back.

Then he looked at the sky outside and his expression paused.

"Peach Vermillion."

"Miss, are you awake?"

Nangong Yuan got up from the bed and asked, "What time is it?"

"It's not yet midnight."

Nangong Yuan bit her lip, looked at the empty bed, and said, "This bastard, I told him to wake me up early."

"Miss, I have prepared some hot water, please wash up first."

There was no choice but Nangong Yuan had to get up and clean up.

After dinner, Tao Zhu brought over a team of clerks.

"This was sent by the Night King. Please take a look."

Nangong Yuan opened a letter and glanced at it, then said, "He is thoughtful."

"Be careful, I heard that the Marquis' death is related to King Li?"

Nangong Yuan raised her head and paused before saying, "This matter is complicated. I'm still investigating."

"So it's true. This King Li really deserves to die. He has accomplished nothing in all these years, and yet he still wants to harm others."

Seeing her eyes red, Nangong Yuan comforted her: "It's okay, we will get revenge eventually, and he won't be so proud for long."

"Miss, take me with you."

"You are still needed at home. I can't protect my mother if I fight with them. Tao Zhu, this is the most important home for me, understand?"

Hearing this, the little girl nodded while crying: "Yes, I will protect the lady."

Nangong Yuan closed the document and said, "I came back this time just to deal with this matter. No matter what, a life for a life."

"I believe that Miss will do it."

Nangong Yuan smiled and said, "Don't cry, let me take a look."

Tao Zhu nodded and brought her some tea.

The document contains information collected during these days.

Even Shen Jingyi's information has been sorted out.

Nangong Yuan flipped through the books quickly and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"He's quite quick, but these things are troublesome to handle. Didn't he sleep last night?"

Xiao Heyun reluctantly went to court early in the morning. He had to arrange so many things, which was indeed complicated.

Nangong Yuan finished reading the things and couldn't help but sigh.

"Sure enough, King Li's power over the years has been much more complicated than I thought. If he continues to hide like this, it will be difficult for us to deal with him."

Besides, this person is very ambitious and he will never watch others in high positions and do nothing.

"But if he wants to take action against Dalu, I have ways to force him."

Nangong Yuan thought for a moment and put the document aside.

She didn't go to court and rested at home in the afternoon.
