Chapter 265 I wish you a long life

The next day when Cui Ying got up, she blinked and looked at the sachet ball hanging above her head. She felt as if she had had a dream last night.

"woke up?"

A hand reached out and held her waist. She turned her head and met Chu Yan's dark eyes.

"It's still early, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

With a smile in his eyes, he hugged her tighter. Snowflakes were falling outside the window, but the room was getting a little warmer. She leaned her head against him without saying a word.

After Chu Yan came back, Dongyue and Amber felt that Cui Ying's mood had improved a lot. Of course, she was in an even better mood after Xie Weixing, Xiao Fengan, Cui Xu and Shen Huajiao came to Shangjing.

When Cui Ying heard that the four of them met at the city gate and were going into the palace together, she went to pick them up in person.

"Brother!"

As soon as Cui Xu got off the carriage, he heard the voice of "Brother". He turned around and saw Cui Ying running towards them.

Her face is still the same as before. The time has only increased her age, but has not left any trace on her face.

"Slow down, you're already a mother, why are you still acting like a child?"

Cui Xu reached out his hand to support her, and then helped Shen Huajiao and a little boy out.

The delicate little boy was only a little over three years old. He was lying in Shen Huajiao's arms. When he saw Cui Ying, he called her "Auntie".

"Is it Rong'er?"

She reached out and rubbed his head, then looked at Shen Huajiao: "Even if you become a mother, can't you be a child in front of your brother and sister-in-law?"

Listening to Cui Ying's words, Cui Xu felt helpless but did not refute. Shen Huajiao said, "Ignore your brother. He talks to Rong'er like this at home all day long."

"You've been traveling a long way, go and rest first. I haven't seen you for a long time, sister-in-law. I still have a lot to say to you in the evening."

After hearing her words, Shen Huajiao nodded and followed Dongyue to the palace to rest.

Xie Weixing and Xiao Fengan stood behind them and waited for them to finish speaking before coming forward.

"Sister."

"Xing'er."

The two sisters smiled at each other. Xie Weixing let go of Xiao Fengan's hand and stepped forward to hold Cui Ying's arm. "Didn't my sister say that she would not go back to the capital with His Majesty?"

She made a joke, and Cui Ying reached out and rubbed her head: "Are you making fun of me?"

"No, I just think my sister is much happier now than when she was in Wulei City."

Xie Weixing knew best what was going on between her and Chu Yan, so what she said was not false.

Being next to Chu Yan, she indeed felt more relaxed.

Cui Ying did not deny it. She led them inside and asked Amber to take them to rest first, while she went to the Zichen Hall to find Chu Yan.

Today is New Year's Eve, but Chu Yan was busy with state affairs as soon as he came back. In addition, the ceasefire agreement with Dongyi had to be drafted, so she could only see him at night.

The little palace maid held an umbrella for Cui Ying as she stood at the door of the Purple Palace. When Lu Bo saw her, he wanted to go in to report, but was stopped by Cui Ying.

He was talking about state affairs, what was she doing in there?

Soon, the ministers inside came out one after another. When they saw Cui Ying standing at the door, they didn't know how to call her at first. After all, Chu Yan hadn't let anyone see her since he brought her back, but some old ministers knew her more or less.

As things were very busy at the time, Chu Yan led his troops to war before he had even had time to hold his wedding ceremony.

Cao Ye was the last one to come out. When he saw Cui Ying, he bowed and saluted: "Greetings, Queen."

After hearing his words, all the ministers followed him in bowing. Cui Ying smiled and said, "No need to be polite."

After saying that, she turned and walked into the Zi Chen Palace.

"This is the Empress. She looks like a fairy. No wonder Your Majesty has been worried about her for so long."

"You and I are not allowed to talk nonsense about Her Majesty the Queen. Why don't you shut up?"

The voices of discussion gradually faded away, but were blocked by the closed door.

Chu Yan, who was reviewing memorials, heard footsteps and looked up. Seeing Cui Ying, he stood up and walked over: "Why are you in Zichen Hall? Aren't you going to pick someone up?"

"My hands are so cold too."

He took her hand and held it, frowning. Cui Ying listened to him and said, "I've asked my brothers to go and rest. The state affairs have been very busy recently, and you haven't come to see me for a long time."

She held his hand in return: "So I had no choice but to come and see you."

Chu Yan sat down with her and looked at her thin figure. "Didn't you take the tonic given by the imperial physician? Why doesn't it seem to be working?"

Ever since Cui Ying came to the capital, Chu Yan asked the imperial physician to prescribe various tonics for her. However, the imperial physician said that she had suffered in her childhood and later injured her body due to the love poison, so she could only be nursed back to health.

Although she didn't suffer any major hardship when giving birth to Caizhuer, childbirth is harmful to a woman's health. She was thin and frail, so it would take a lot of effort for her to be brought back to health.

"I don't like taking medicine. It's bitter."

Cui Ying turned away and didn't look at him. When the bowl of black medicine was placed in front of her, she really couldn't drink it.

"Yingying, don't be willful. This is for your health."

"You want to have another child?"

Chu Yan just finished speaking when he heard Cui Ying's words. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "When did I say that?"

"Then why do you want me to replenish my body? I'm fine now."

Hearing her reluctant words, Chu Yan sighed, picked her up and let her sit on his lap.

He looked her in the eye, at his reflection in her eyes, and after a long silence, he said, "It was me who caused your body to be damaged. I was the one who planted the love poison. If anything happened to you, how could I forgive myself?"

After he said this, Cui Ying finally understood what was mixed in his kindness to her.

She had always felt that Chu Yan's kindness was always accompanied by caution, fearing that she would be hurt. Now she understood that the love poison was always a thorn in his heart that could not be removed.

"Chu Yan."

"Yingying, I was a bad student. Before I learned how to love, I only learned how to hurt."

He leaned his head on her shoulder, and even his voice was trembling: "I'm afraid, afraid that the promise I made at the beginning will not be fulfilled."

"I hope you live a long life, and I want to be with you forever."
