Since Yunzhu's death, Nie Jue has been following Nanzhi secretly.

Although Nanzhi burned the deed of betrayal, he is already free.

But he seemed to have regarded her as his new master.

He had nothing to repay her except to protect her.

He knew he shouldn't have any thoughts about the future queen.

But when he saw with his own eyes that Nanzhi stayed at Sheng Mansion last night and listened to the ambiguous voice, something felt wrong about him.

His hand holding the sword was very tight.

An unfamiliar emotion occupied his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.

So much so that when he looked at Sheng Yan, he unconsciously had murderous intent in his eyes.

After Nanzhi got better, she became busy.

I deal with political affairs in the study almost every day.

The Queen does not have high requirements for her, and has been trying her best to help her clear obstacles recently.

But Nanzhi didn't want people to think that she, the prince, was incompetent, so she worked harder.

That night, because she was too tired, she fell asleep on the table before reading the scroll handed to her.

The winter was dry, and the wind blew. Sparks from the candle on the desk flew and accidentally fell on Nanzhi's skirt, and the flames suddenly ignited.

But Nanzhi was unaware of it in his sleep.

Seeing the fire burning along the skirt.

Suddenly a figure approached and put out the flames with his own hands.

The cold white hand was burned red by the flames. The owner of the hand seemed not to feel the pain. He slowly raised his eyelashes and looked at the girl who was still sleeping.

He picked up the cloak on the shelf and covered her with it. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a murmur.

She seemed to be dreaming, her cherry-like mouth was puckering, and she didn't know whose name she was reciting.

I heard that people who talk in their sleep are telling the truth.

So, whose name was she chanting in her dream?
Is it Sheng Yan?

Nie Jue stopped unexpectedly.

Listening to her dream words became clearer little by little.

"...Nie Jue...Nie Jue..."

Nie Jue's eyes narrowed and he looked at her in disbelief.

"What should I do? I seem...I seem to like you a little bit..."

Nie Jue felt that he might have heard wrongly.

But his hearing is obviously so sensitive.

Why……

Why is it his name...

Why do you like him...

He knew clearly that he shouldn't have extravagant hopes, but his heart, as calm as dead water, still stirred up trouble because of such a simple sentence.

As if being controlled, he slowly leaned forward, cautiously and nervously, and slowly kissed her on the cheek.

"I like you too, my princess."

It was love at first sight.

Even though he knew she was like Sheng Yan, he still couldn't help but like her.

[Ding, Nie Jue’s favorability value is 80%. 】

The next morning, Nanzhi suddenly opened his eyes.

She sat up, thinking that she fell asleep before finishing the political affairs last night. When she was upset, she found that she had fallen asleep on the bed without knowing when.

She glanced at the quilt on her body, with confusion in her eyes.

Nie Jue, who was hiding in the dark, looked at her confused look, and the corners of his lips curled up subconsciously.

She is really cute.

Nanzhi got up and smoothed the two bunches of dull hair on his head before letting Liang'er come in to wait on him.

After she went to the morning court, she was stopped by the Queen to praise her in private because of her recent excellent political performance.

"Cough cough..."

The queen suddenly coughed, and Nanzhi quickly walked behind her and helped her.

"What's wrong with Queen Mother?"

The Queen sighed, "I've been coughing a lot lately, I'm afraid..."

"Mother, don't talk nonsense. I will go and call the imperial doctor."

The Queen stopped her: "No, I have already seen the imperial doctor."

The Queen walked to a soft chair and sat down, and Nanzhi patted her back and shoulders very considerately. Looking at her lowered eyebrows, the queen thought of her husband again.

He used to do this too, massaging her brows and eyes gently.

Heart disease becomes a disease.

Thinking of the imperial doctor's words, she didn't feel sad, but instead laughed.

It won't be long before she can go see him.

Of course Nazhi knew about the Queen's illness, and she would die soon.

That's why she proposed to give Shao Xi a year to get along.

Because by then, Shaoxi will no longer have to marry her.

[Zhizhi, do you really not want to marry Shaoxi? 】

Nanzhi curled her lips and said only four words: "Retreat to advance."

003's smart little brain seems to be unsmart at the moment.

After the queen fell asleep, Nanzhi covered her with a quilt, gathered her cloak and left the palace.

I don't know if it was a coincidence, but she met Shaoxi again at the palace gate.

She smiled politely at him and was stopped by him just as she was about to get into the carriage.

"Has the princess been avoiding me lately?"

Nanzhi looked back and looked at Shaoxi walking towards him.

The smile on his face was as charming as ever, but there seemed to be something extra in his eyes.

Nanzhi didn't understand. Just when she wanted to distance herself, Shaoxi suddenly lowered his voice: "Those people are pressing hard. Princess, please help me."

Following his peripheral vision, Nanzhi saw two envoys from Beidi watching them not far away.

When they noticed Nanzhi looking over, they smiled sheepishly.

Nanzhi immediately understood what Shaoxi meant. The coldness in her eyebrows disappeared instantly, replaced by a gentle smile. She raised her hand and straightened the cloak that Shaoxi was wearing.

The girl was very close, and the fragrance of her body brushed the tip of her nose.

Shao Xi lowered his eyelashes, looking at the tenderness in the girl's eyes, the corners of his lips unconsciously raised.

Even if you know you can't, you are still tempted.

After finishing, Nanzhi raised her little face and looked at him: "Shall I take you back?"

Shao Xi hummed happily.

He was about to follow the girl, but unexpectedly, the girl directly held his hand.

Take him to the carriage with you.

She entered the carriage first.

After entering, he extended his hand to him.

Shaoxi looked at the girl's slender and fragile fingers and stretched out his own without hesitation.

Seeing Shaoxi and Nanzhi being so close, the two envoys standing by finally nodded with satisfaction.

The carriage started.

Shao Xi looked at the girl sitting opposite him and instantly became cold.

He smiled, but was not happy.

"The princess' acting skills are so good."

Even he almost believed it just now.

"Thank you for the compliment."

Nanzhi didn't look at him. She poured a cup of tea and drank it by herself, as if Shaoxi didn't exist.

Maybe the gap was too big, and Shaoxi felt extremely uncomfortable.

He looked at her lips, which were moistened by the water, and his Adam's apple twitched. Thinking of what he had promised her before, he restrained himself and suppressed his thoughts.

The entire journey was speechless.

Halfway through, Nanzhi asked Liang'er to buy two bunches of candied haws.

Shaoxi thought he had a share, but he didn't expect that she held the candied haws tightly and had no intention of sharing it with him.

Food for yourself?

Shaoxi thought that was the case.

But she didn't move at all, and when passing by a place, she stopped the carriage.

Shaoxi saw her getting off the carriage and asked the coachman to take him back. Then she took Liang'er into the gate with the word "Shengfu" written on the plaque.

Shaoxi looked at Nanzhi's cheerful steps, a dark look flashed in his eyes.
