Outside the window, a crowd of people were kneeling on the ground.

The emperor was tall and slender, and his dark suit embroidered with gold thread exuded an aura of power, making his stern face look even more ferocious.

He was glad that he did not see with his own eyes how she protected Xie Yunji, otherwise his heart would have been torn apart.

Jealousy spread in my heart and turned into irreconcilable hatred.

Xie Tan pushed open the door and Song Nihuan's frightened face came into view.

The sickly young man was lying on the bed, his left shoulder stained with blood, his hands around her waist.

The two of them seemed to be snuggling together.

He saw that Song Nihuan looked impatient and her body leaned to one side in resistance, but his heart still seemed like it was about to explode.

"Huan'er, come here." Xie Tan said through gritting his teeth.

Song Nihuan broke away from Xie Yunji and walked forward to pay her respects, "Greetings, Your Majesty..."

Xie Yunji's hands tightened inch by inch, restraining his desire to rush over and hug her.

Xie Tan took a step forward, held her arm, helped her up, and looked at her quietly.

"Lord Xie's wound has worsened. Please allow Doctor Xunfang to come and treat him." Song Nihuan said.

Xie Tan did not hide his feelings and sneered, "If I want to kill him, why would I ask someone to treat him?"

Xie Yunji met Xie Tan's eyes, a mocking smile appearing at the corner of his lips.

"Brother Tan." Song Nihuan said seriously, "I won't interfere in your official business. But if you want to... let's go and talk over there."

She naturally took his hand and walked out.

Xie Tan let her lead him, turned around and looked at the sickly young man with contempt, "Call the doctor in to treat him."

She took him to the flower hall at the end of the winding corridor. The sky was dark and the wind was so cold in the middle of the night that it chilled people to the bone.

Song Nihuan couldn't help but shrink back.

Xie Tan sighed deeply. He was obviously still angry with her before he came, but now he couldn't help but unbutton his robe and hold her in his arms.

The two hugged each other and were silent for a long time.

His embrace was very warm. Song Nihuan leaned against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat. She felt inexplicably peaceful in her heart. His warmth and enthusiasm made her unable to resist being greedy.

She wrapped her arms around his strong waist, closed her eyes and smiled.

He did not hug her, but simply gathered his wide robe around her and turned his face away to look at the vast night.

She rubbed his chest, rubbed one hand slowly on his back, and whispered, "Brother Tan, Brother Qing Zhou."

He still ignored her, but the burning feeling in his heart faded a lot.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Song Nihuan smiled, tilted her head back and rubbed his chin with the tip of her nose, teasing his heart like a kitten.

"Ignore me?" she looked at him and said.

"Why should I care about you? What about when you tricked me into leaving the palace?" Xie Tan said angrily.

Song Nihuan said: "I didn't mean to lie to you, I just worried that you would misunderstand me."

"What misunderstanding? Misunderstanding that you have a private relationship with him? Or he knew that the miracle doctor he found was for Lan Zhi, but he didn't let you go? Am I that kind of stingy person?" he said.

Song Ni laughed, with a hint of sarcasm.

Xie Tan paused, and suddenly looked very embarrassed.

Realizing that she was about to break away from his embrace, he couldn't hold back any longer, and immediately hugged her tightly, saying, "I can't stand you seeing him again, I'm just petty, I'm that kind of person!"

"I really can't stand it. I can't stand you looking at him, I can't stand you not being by my side, I can't stand him touching you! I'm crazy, I don't care about anything."

His throat moved slightly, and he placed a gentle kiss on the top of her head, and softened his tone: "Huan'er, please have pity on me and don't see him again."

"Silly boy." She stood on tiptoe and kissed him. "I've already told you that he and I have moved on. It's over."

Her kiss made his blood heat up again, and the heart in his chest was beating wildly. He held her in his arms and said, "Don't lie to me again. How can you bear to lie to someone who loves you so much?"

She buried her head in his arms and nodded gently.

He leaned forward and looked down for her lips.

But she dodged and pressed against his chest, "Don't. Don't do that. You haven't finished talking yet."

Xie Tan let her go, and when she thought he would not continue, he held the back of her neck and kissed her again.

Stubborn, passionate, and seductive.

How could you not let me kiss you right after meeting Xie Yunji?

The guards standing by all lowered their heads.

After he had kissed her enough, Song Nihuan calmed her breath and said, "A prosperous era relies on cultural governance. Today's Zhao is peaceful and prosperous, and what it needs is talent. Brother Tan, if you kill Xie Yunji, it will chill the hearts of scholars all over the world."

The scholarly families of Yunjing have had some connections from generation to generation, and the network between the nobles is intricate. The current emperor intends to support the poor, which has caused complaints from the children of the noble families. If Xie Yunji is killed now, it is certain that it will cause turmoil.

He sighed, tucked her hair behind her ears, and said, "I understand."

But Xie Yunji violated his principles. Compared with the balance between the poor and the nobles, he cared more about her involvement with Xie Yunji.

Xie Tan thought silently.

She now leaned obediently against his chest, and the faint sweet fragrance lingered in his nose, making him feel peaceful both physically and mentally.

Xie Tan lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips, "As long as you are here, I won't go crazy."

Such a Xie Tan softened Song Nihuan's heart.

He is gentle and calm now. He doesn't look cold and crazy at all like when he came in just now. He is like a big white dog with smooth fur.

Song Nihuan rubbed his face and said, "I love you."

Inside the Imperial Palace, Yuxiu Palace.

In spring, people no longer burn charcoal to keep warm. Although the nights are cold, the emperor is sweating profusely. It has only been one day since he last saw her, but he feels like half a lifetime.

She accepted him as gently and tenderly as a flower bud, as if she knew the dissatisfaction and grievance in his heart, and she tried her best to comfort him.

"The miracle doctor examined my pulse and said that I am no longer infertile as before..." Song Nihuan panted, "It's all thanks to you..."

Xie Tan hummed softly, but kept moving.

"So you asked me to raise my waist and didn't let me take a shower right away, all because..." she said.

"If you like children, we can have them. If you don't, having you is enough for me." He said, kissing her eyes tenderly and carefully. "In the future, I can drink contraceptive medicine in advance."

Song Nihuan suddenly laughed, "Then how much do you have to drink?!"

That night, Xie Tan reached the climax with her several times, and he did not stop until the eunuchs knocked on the door several times during the morning court.

When daybreak came, he felt his body was empty but his heart was full.

He hugged Song Nihuan's soft body tightly. Only her presence could soothe his heart. He thought that it was because he did not do well enough that she did not tell him about something.

He will change it later.

He kissed her eyes and fell asleep contentedly.

When Xie Tan woke up, it was already daybreak and Song Nihuan was not around.

He put on his robe, stood up, pushed open the palace door, and called a palace maid, "Where is Madam Mingde?"
