Chapter 12

"Is he still kneeling there?" Su Hailing sighed

"Yes." Hong Chen laid out dinner on the table one by one, and replied softly.

"Where's Zimo?" Su Hailing thought for a while and asked again, it seemed that he hadn't seen Zimo all day.

"He...is not feeling well, resting in the room." Hongchen's hand trembled, almost spilling the soup in the bowl, "Hongchen, go and call him here."

"No need." Su Hailing waved his hand and said, "Since Zimo is sick, go and have a look. If you need any medicine, go to the warehouse to get it yourself."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Hong Chen lowered his head, hiding the wry smile on his lips.

Zi Mo is sick, but... it's just a heart disease.

Su Hailing took a mouthful of rice, and couldn't help but glance towards the direction of the main hall.

"Since your Highness can't bear it, why should Master Haoyue kneel for a whole day?" Hong Chen said while filling soup for her.

"No one made him kneel!" Su Hailing angrily put the chopsticks on the table.

"Hongchen asked the small kitchen to prepare clear porridge, which is warming on the stove." Hongchen smiled, "Master Haoyue hasn't eaten since last night, so it's better to drink some hot porridge."

"Hongchen, can you share some of your intelligence with Zimo?" Su Hailing glared at him and walked towards the main hall.

Damn it, he doesn't care about his body so much, or is he just so unwilling to marry her?
Su Hailing angrily stepped into the main hall, no candles were lit in the hall, under the dim light, Haoyue's movements were the same as when she left in the morning.

"See Your Highness." Haoyue said in a low voice.

"You... idiot!" Su Hailing strode forward and pulled him up.

"Woo..." Haoyue staggered, almost throwing herself into her arms.

"Haoyue! Are you okay?" Su Hailing was taken aback, helped him to sit on the chair, and was about to lift up his trouser legs.

"Your Highness!" Haoyue was startled, and hurriedly held her down.

"Shut up! Sit down obediently and don't move!" Su Hailing slapped his hands away fiercely, rolled up his trousers, and sure enough... his knees were covered in bruises.

"It's just a minor injury." Haoyue whispered.

"I told you to shut up!" Su Hailing said, picked him up and left.

"Ah!" Haoyue couldn't help but exclaimed, in order to protect the balance of her body, she involuntarily stretched her arms around her neck.

"Your Highness, this is..." Lu Tong, who was setting up a sentry post, couldn't help being stunned when he saw her coming out with someone in her arms.

"Lu Tong, you are temporarily in charge of the safety of Chaoyang Palace tonight, I have something to discuss with your commander!" Su Hailing dropped a sentence.

"Your Highness, please let me down, I can go by myself." There was a hint of pleading in Haoyue's eyes, obviously she didn't want to lose her composure in front of her subordinates.

"Do you need me to say it a third time? Shut up!" Su Hailing scolded.

Under Lu Tong's dull gaze, she carried Haoyue majestically through several palace rooms and entered her own room.

Hongchen had already lit the palace lanterns, and put porridge and some refreshing side dishes on the table, and even put the ointment on the bedside, which made her sigh, what a caring person!

Letting Haoyue sit on the head of the bed, Su Hailing took off his coat and trousers, picked up the fragrant light green ointment with his fingers, and gently rubbed it on his wound.

Maybe because she was tempted by her tenderness, Haoyue let her do what she did without resistance.

"I really don't know what I like about you." Su Hailing said to himself, "You are wayward, stubborn, old-fashioned, without any flirtatiousness, and you are not attractive at all!"

When Haoyue heard this, her face turned pale for a while, and her cool eyes dimmed.

"But..." Su Hailing put down the medicine box, raised his head and stared at him fiercely, almost gnashing his teeth, "I'm stupid! I'm crazy! That's why I fell in love with you! From the first time I saw it!"

Haoyue blinked her eyes, her face full of confusion.

Seeing his expression, Su Hailing could only smile wryly. Hearing his anger when he refused to marry, Hong Chen said he was anxious when he knelt for a day, and seeing his heartache when he was injured, she knew that she was moved.

The heart lake, which has been calm for 27 years in modern times, was finally stirred up by a stone named "Haoyue", causing ripples and never returning to the beginning.

"I don't know what you have experienced before, or what secret order the emperor has." Su Hailing washed his hands, returned to sit next to him, and continued, "Haoyue, I think I like you, maybe it's not yet. The degree of love, but... love needs two people to work together, give me a chance, please?"

Haoyue stared at her blankly, her heart fluctuated.

She said...she likes him and will try to love him...

"Haoyue?" Su Hailing grabbed his hand and put it in his palm, "I know, you don't hate me, do you? Then why don't you give it a try and give yourself a chance?"

Haoyue's body shook, she opened her mouth, but made no sound.

"Why, talk!" Su Hailing said anxiously.God knows that she has lived for 27 years, and she has always listened to other people's confessions. Now she is confessing to others for the first time, and she just met a boring gourd!
"I...Didn't Your Highness tell me to shut up?" Haoyue turned her head away in embarrassment from her fiery gaze.

Su Hailing suddenly had black lines.Is this person... really a piece of wood?
"This subordinate was sent by His Majesty the Empress to be with His Highness, does His Highness believe me?" After a while, Haoyue whispered.

"Haoyue, you are really not suitable to be a spy." Su Hailing smiled and shook his head, "Besides, I chose you, so I naturally believe you."

"Why do you lie to Haoyue, Your Highness?" Haoyue said indifferently, "If I have been doing well these few days, Your Highness has been hiding his clumsiness in front of Her Majesty the Queen, right? Are you not afraid that I will secretly report to Your Majesty?"

"I'm scared, very scared!" Su Hailing hugged his upper body into his arms and said with a smile, "That's why I am in a hurry to marry you back. If I am killed by the emperor, as my servant, can you escape?" Got it?"

"Your Highness!" Haoyue said angrily, "I'm serious!"

"Then what do you want to hear?" Su Hailing spread his hands and said calmly, "If I say I trust you now, it will be a lie. However, trust is the same as love, and we need to take care of it together. It's not that I just say I trust you and it's over. You should try to make me trust you too, shouldn't you?"

"It's the first time I heard this kind of statement, His Highness really thinks differently." Haoyue said.

"Then, give me a letter." Su Hailing looked at him, slightly nervous.

"I...I..." Haoyue's face slowly turned red, and it took a long time to say a complete sentence, "I don't hate Your Highness."

"I don't hate it, but I like it?" Su Hailing raised her eyebrows.

"Hmm..." Haoyue nodded imperceptibly, even the roots of her ears turned red.

"Great!" Su Hailing jumped up, and quickly turned around to pick up the already cold porridge, "Come on, eat something first, Hong Chen said you haven't eaten all day."

Seeing her frantic movements, Haoyue only felt a sour touch in her heart.

This woman may be really different...
