His Rui

Zhao Zhang Wei didn't mention whatever happened the whole way back to the Imperial Palace.

Even when they were inside the Imperial Palace, he ordered Lin Daiyu to prepare some warm bath for Yi Huiqing seeing that she looked slightly exhausted.

Yi Huiqing silently left with Lin Daiyu and Zhao Zhang Wei had to go back to his own chambers.

However, almost half a shichen later, when Yi Huiqing was again in the noble clothes, he returned wearing his majestic robes and other clothes.

He also seemed to have taken another bath.

Zhao Zhang Wei felt relieved when he saw that her face didn't look that pale now.

Inside a silent room, they had their dinner together.

Quietly, he served a few pieces of nutritious meal to Yi Huiqing's bowl on his own. However, he sighed when he noticed that she didn't even touch them.

It was her right to get angry.

Zhao Zhang Wei didn't put anything in her plate again as he noticed that she didn't touch the dishes he had served her at all.

Seeing that she was eating other dishes, he decided to let her be for some time. ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢

However, after they had finished their dinner and proceeded towards the bed, Yi Huiqing paused suddenly and looked at him with an emotionless face.

"Your Majesty must be tired. Why doesn't Your Majesty go to the Imperial Chambers and have rest there? That way Your Majesty would be able to have a good amount of rest."

Zhao Zhang Wei's face didn't look good and his eyes were filled with helplessness as he realised that Yi Huiqing was trying to send him away.

However, he couldn't let her do that.

Especially when he knew that she still loves him. Zhao Zhang Wei thought that to warm his wife's cold heart again, he needed to be slightly shameless because if he listened to her like an obedient husband then they would only get far away from each other.

Hence, he smiled suddenly.

Yi Huiqing was confused by his sudden smile and frowned. The next moment, she saw his stepping forward and then he bent down slightly …only to pick her in his arms.

Yi Huiqing was so scared that she will fall down that she held onto Zhao Zhang Wei's robes tightly.

In her fear, she forgot everything and shouted loudly.

"Zhao Zhang Wei, have you gone crazy? Put me down right now."

Zhao Zhang Wei smiled hearing her words and calmly walked towards the bed.

The servants outside the chambers heard the Empress' words and looked shocked. However, each and every servant of Yi Huiqing's chambers was chosen by Zhao Zhang Wei himself.

So they knew very well how to hide their expressions and not to talk about anything outside.

Inside the chambers, Yi Huiqing was fiercely glaring at the man who was caging her in his arms.

"You…what are you doing? Leave me!"

Zhao Zhang Wei patted her head with his other hand as if he was smoothening the fur of an angry rabbit. Seeing her frustration at his action, he only found her cuter.

"Did you not want me to rest well, Qingqing? How can I sleep without you being by my side. So I am just ensuring that I will have a good rest."

Yi Huiqing was speechless hearing his not so logical explanation.

Just when she wanted to say more, she saw Zhao Zhang Wei closing his eyes and then pushing her head to his chest as the man whispered

"Sleep now. Qingqing, I am feeling this light and sleepy after so many days. You must be tired as well."

Yi Huiqing didn't know why but she could understand the hidden meaning behind Zhao Zhang Wei's words.

Had he been feeling burdened all these days because of whatever he had been hiding?

Did he not even feel sleepy?

Yi Huiqing closed her eyes when she realised that she was actually worrying for this man.

Hmph! Let him just sleep. She was also very exhausted.

Outside the Xi Manor's huge entrance, two carriages stopped.

From the carriage that was behind, Li Hua and Liu Lan stepped outside while from the carriage in the front, Xi Ying first stepped out. 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺

Xi Ling was sleeping in his arms and was held by his father.

They had gone to visit the fair for the moon festival and were finally back.

Holding his son with one hand, Xi Ying stretched his hand out for his wife and helped her in getting out.

Li Hua also helped from the other side.

When Li Rui was finally outside, Xi Ying didn't dare to stay outside for long as the cold wind had started to blow and immediately took her inside the manor.

Looking at the figures walking inside the huge Manor, the old man who was hiding frowned as he stroked his weird.

"The person who knows acupuncture lives here?"

It was the same old man from Yantun valley. His disciple who had brought him here hummed in response and said

"Yes, Shifu. You need to find some way to get inside."

Hearing this the old Shifu looked at his disciple with anger-filled eyes and said

"What use are you for if you want me to do such a meager thing, Bastard?"

The disciple however looked calm and said

"It is not easy to get inside, Shifu. I have already tried but couldn't get inside. Otherwise, why would I ask you to do this?"

The old Shifu snorted and said angrily

"You have become so useless after staying outside for a few years."

The disciple just smirked in response.

It had always been his dream to bring his shifu out from that valley. Today, he had finally done it and he was very happy.

Now he just wanted the old man to stay here for a few days and then slowly and slowly he will bring out his other senior and junior brothers from that isolated valley.

Unaware of his disciple's thoughts, the old shifu spoke arrogantly.

"I have a plan."
