The goose feathers were flying, and even the palace people went into the house to take refuge. The road was empty, red and white, and the snow was soft under the feet. It creaked and creaked when stepped on, leaving a row of footprints.

Zhou Hong couldn't enter the harem, and stopped outside the palace wall, while Ye Youqing, led by the sixth prince, rushed all the way, and soon entered the hall, the snow that had not shaken off his body turned into water, and the clothes of the two were wet.

The ice crystals on Ci Ke's hair were gone, and a few drops of water slid down his cheeks. Ye Youqing walked all the way into the inner room and put him on the couch.

"Chunhong, hurry up and serve ginger soup." Zhou Ziqiu, who followed closely behind, ordered in an orderly manner, and personally took an animal fur quilt and handed it to Ye Youqing.

Ye Youqing reached out to take off Ci Ke's wet clothes, and wrapped him in a quilt, revealing only his palm-sized face, pale with a blush from freezing.

After the ginger soup was fed, people finally stopped trembling, and Ye Youqing's forehead was overflowing with sweat, so he breathed a sigh of relief, took the handkerchief from Chunhong, and wiped it on his forehead.

"How?" Ye Youqing asked.

Ci Ke smiled weakly, tilted his body, and leaned on Ye Youqing's shoulder, the body in his arms slowly warmed up, and became hot again.

The sixth prince and Zhou Ziqiu, who were watching behind him, also relaxed their nerves. The sixth prince sat slumped on the chair, pursing his lips tightly.

Seeing that Ci Ke couldn't recover in a short time, Ye Youqing turned back and asked the sixth prince, "I came in a hurry, what happened?"

The sixth prince handed the wet fur coat to Chunhong, took the hand stove, and then whispered the details of today's events.

After finishing speaking, Ye Youqing had no expression on his face, but his eyes became darker.

"The emperor is so eager to marry you because he wants to use your marriage to adjust the conflict between the monarch and his ministers, but he doesn't care about resigning from Ke's family. It can be seen that although he seems to use you, he never wants to pass on you in his heart." Zhou Ziqiu spoke, and sat down slowly while holding Chunhong's hand.

The sixth prince also saw the emperor's attitude, his eyes darkened slightly.

Zhou Ziqiu glanced sideways at Ye Youqing, and then slowly said, "But Ci Ke, if you calm down and think about it, marrying Yi'er is not completely unacceptable."

"No." Ci Ke said suddenly, she tried her best to stand up, "Auntie, Ci Ke doesn't want to marry anyone."

Seeing her agitated, Ye Youqing put his hand on her shoulder, dissuading her from speaking next.

"But even if the emperor let you go, have you thought about the future? Now that my aunt is still here, she can take care of you for a while. If my aunt is gone in the future, you will only have Zhou Hong as a family member. If something happens to him, How do you live?" Zhou Ziqiu looked indifferent, but his words were merciless.

"I can take care of myself." Ci Kemei's eyes widened, and then his eyes became hot, "Aunt, you..."

"It's just a hypothetical." Zhou Ziqiu shook his head, "Yi'er has a special status, and marriage is already difficult, so it's better for you two to take care of each other, so I can feel more at ease."

The sixth prince on the side glanced at Ye Youqing.

Ye Youqing got up suddenly, and said to Chunhong, "Help me take care of her."

Chunhong hurriedly ran to the bedside to help stabilize Cike, while Ye Youqing got up, calmly arranged her clothes, and looked directly at Zhou Ziqiu: "What the imperial concubine wants to say, just say it."

Zhou Ziqiu sat on the chair, raised his jaw to look at her, the two looked at each other for a while, Zhou Ziqiu also got up, his body under the gorgeous clothes was a little fragile, and his waist was empty.

"I need to know that Ci Ke's future life will be stable." Zhou Ziqiu cut to the chase.

"She will." Ye Youqing did not back down.

But Zhou Ziqiu turned his eyes away first, and said with a smile: "What guarantee do you have, girl?"

"She can't marry anyone, I will marry her." Ye Youqing said naturally, her phoenix eyes were clear and serious.

The sixth prince on the side almost slipped off the chair.

There was silence in the room, and finally Ci Ke suddenly coughed, lowered his head and covered his lips, joy flashed in his eyes, and at the same time he looked at Ye Youqing's back in shock.

Zhou Ziqiu had never expected her to be so frank. He froze for a moment, blinking his eyelashes: "Married to the same woman? Can you protect her?"

Ye Youqing walked up to Ci Ke, patted her on the back, and said softly, "I will protect her with all my life."

Zhou Ziqiu stared at Ye Youqing, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he turned to look at the exuberant flames in the smoker on the ground.

"Miss Ye, I heard about your current status, and the current situation in the court is so treacherous, no matter how powerful you are, no matter how rich you are, you are just a merchant, not to mention that the emperor is just using you now. Will you be left as a disaster?" Zhou Ziqiu said in a low voice.

"Since I dare to come back, it proves that I am not just a businessman." Ye Youqing replied.

Zhou Ziqiu couldn't hide the shock in his eyes, and looked at Ye Youqing again.

Ye Youqing sighed, and walked slowly in front of Zhou Ziqiu, the phoenix eyes that were originally as deep as an ancient well finally fluctuated and became shimmering.

"Someone asked me to help you." Ye Youqing said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I promised her."

"And even if that person doesn't speak, I will protect everything Ci Ke wants to protect."

Zhou Ziqiu's red lips suddenly tightened, and she clasped her hands in front of her body, suddenly lost her breath, retreated hurriedly, and was supported by the sixth prince behind her.

Zhou Ziqiu moved his lips a few times before making a sound, and said softly, "Comfort Ci Ke, she's freezing."

After all, she walked out of the inner room with steady shoulders. The sixth prince looked at Ye Youqing, and after seeing her eyes, he followed Zhou Ziqiu away. Soon, there were only two people left in the room.

Ye Youqing walked back to the bed, Ci Ke had already taken off the quilt, and was about to get up when Ye Youqing held him down.

She watched Ye Youqing sit down and said, "Is what you just said true?"

Ye Youqing nodded with a smile.

Ci Ke's eyes fell slightly, and he put it on Ye Youqing's hand: "Actually, as long as I can open my eyes and see you every day, I'm willing to do anything. If the matter here can be resolved one day, can I go to the south with you?"

"The weather is getting warmer soon, and then we will go to watch the fireworks together in March. I will accompany you to see places you have never been to." Ye Youqing said, changing the subject, "But I will still marry you, a real marriage .”

Ci Ke breathed a little harder, put his rough hand into Ye Youqing's warm and soft palm, and asked her to hold it, as if it would make him feel safe.

"They won't allow two girls to get married, it's a big treason." Ci Ke's eyes sparkled.

"Then I will be rebellious, I want the person I love, and I have nothing to do with the world." Ye Youqing said.

Hearing this, Ci Ke moved forward, pulled Ye Youqing's belt around his waist, and shrugged his shoulders slightly.

"Are you still cold?" Ye Youqing lowered his head patiently, and rubbed her steamed hair, "It's been cold for so long, let's drink some soup."

"I'm a little dizzy, but I don't want to drink the soup." Ci Ke covered up the hoarseness of her voice, and said softly, she pulled Ye Youqing, "I want you to hold me."

Ye Youqing slightly opened his arms and put them on her shoulders: "Do you believe me?"

Ci Ke nodded.

"Then you don't have to think too much. If the emperor brings up this matter again, you don't need to fight against him, just let the situation develop." Ye Youqing stroked her back, "Everything is up to me."

"Okay." Ci Ke didn't hesitate, she knew how much she trusted Ye Youqing, it seemed that as time passed, this kind of whole-hearted trust became stronger, so strong that she sometimes feared that Ye Youqing would not be around one day If it is too late, he will be beyond redemption.

"You won't leave me?" Ci Ke said suddenly.

Ye Youqing let her go, seemed to be thinking, then nodded: "Maybe."

Ci Ke's eyes widened suddenly, and suddenly he shook Ye Youqing's hand away forcefully, his eye circles turned red, Ye Youqing quickly stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, crying and laughing: "I haven't finished yet."

"Did you hear the wind outside?" Ye Youqing said seriously.

Ci Ke was a little annoyed, and nodded slightly.

"You wait for the day when the wind stops and the rain calms down, maybe I will." Ye Youqing said with a smile.

As soon as she finished speaking, she was hit with a light hammer on her shoulder. Looking up, the bright-eyed woman was angry and shy, and pulled up the quilt to cover her head.

Ye Youqing laughed so hard that his hands became weak, and he tore off the quilt. The two of them laughed and quarreled, and Ci Ke's forehead was sweating, but he was no longer cold. Ye Youqing stopped, pursed his lips and looked at Ci Ke Cong Remove the loose fluff from the silk.

When Ci Ke smiled, his eyes were curved into crescent moons, and he held Ye Youqing with a bit of girlish charm, but when she came over, his expression was very seductive.

Ye Youqing didn't know why she liked Ci Ke, and even she didn't know when she was moved.

Mingming Ci Ke is a very troublesome person to her.

Maybe it's because I have always been considerate in doing things, but when facing her, Zhou Quan became insane.

I don't know where the love came from, and the branches and vines became a ball.

Ci Ke suddenly knelt down on the bed, helped Ye Youqing's shoulders to stand up, and brought his lips, which were still wet with steam, close to Ye Youqing, the fragrance of the powder wrapped the two of them together, and mixed with the fresh breath of snow outside the door.

Ci Ke's body was too hot, Ye Youqing's throat was a little dry, and other things in his mind were almost forgotten.

"I have something to show you." Ci Ke's words were like water.

"Drink the soup first." Ye Youqing was helpless.

Ci Kebei gritted her lips, shook her head slightly, and the smooth jade pendant on her earlobe swayed with her movements. With Ye Youqing's assurance, her words seemed a lot bolder: "If you don't look at it, I won't drink it." gone."

Ye Youqing was still about to say something, but Ci Ke suddenly kissed her earlobe, Ye Youqing's ears were as red as fire, and he closed his eyes and sighed.

"Zhou Cike." Ye Youqing stiffened his tone, stretched out his hand to push her away, got up and adjusted the messed up clothes, and cooled his ears with his hands, "What if I get sick tomorrow?"

Ci Ke half-submerged in the quilt, raised his eyes to see Ye Youqing leave, his expression seemed to be aggrieved, he bent his knees and stretched his hand into the quilt, without smiling, his fox eyes drooped, and his black eyebrows frowned slightly.

Ye Youqing put his left hand on his forehead, slender five fingers slid across his cheeks, wiped away his helplessness, leaned forward to support her side, and said softly: "What?"

Seeing that she didn't answer, Ye Youqing tore off the quilt with one hand, revealing the jade feet wrapped inside, which were glowing red at this time, with a faint purple in the red.

"I knew it, something must be frostbitten." Ye Youqing stretched out his hand, but was cut off by Ci Ke halfway, he took Ye Youqing's hand and shook it.

"I've been preparing for a few months, can you take a look first?" Ci Ke said softly.
