"But……"

She wanted to refuse, but he had already hugged her tighter.

She struggled for a while, but she had no choice but to give up and let the man behind her hug her, sniff the familiar soft smell that poured into her nose.

This smell made her relax inexplicably.

She slowly turned around in his arms, stretched out her hands, surrounded the other person's thin waist, and gently closed her eyes, as if there were only the two of them left in this world.

Although, in his arms, her body was slightly stiff, she did not dare to act rashly, nor did she dare to blink, for fear that the man in front of her would disappear in the blink of an eye.

This time, she did not hide, but instead met his slightly tired eyes, with moist eyes.

It took him a long time to let go, lower his head, and a smile flashed through his deep eyes.

"Zhaoyi!"

"Your Majesty... can you... let go?"

Lu Zhaoyi's cheeks were red and she was so shy that she couldn't raise her head, so she still didn't dare to open her eyes.

"I... have let go? Just open your eyes and take a look!" Xia Pei's voice was very gentle.

He reached out and held her face. In a trance, she slowly opened her eyes, her eyes facing each other, and her breathing was messy.

Suddenly, her cheeks were so hot that she was really uncomfortable with this intimate posture.

Seeing this, he raised his eyebrows, deliberately approached her, and blew gently: "Zhaoyi..."

This soft call suddenly made an unknown emotion rise in her heart, and she responded inadvertently, as if she hummed gently with a nasal sound.

"Um?"

Xia Pei's throat was a little dry, his lips and teeth were hot, as if he continued to find a place to cool down. His eyes were already looking at the other party's delicate red lips, and he uncontrollably wanted to put them on.

Her expression was stunned, she wanted to struggle inside, but her body unconsciously wanted to cater to it.

Realizing this state of mind, she felt that she was crazy. She finally forced herself to control her body. She turned her head but still did not dodge. Instead, she stretched out her slender white fingertips and poked his chest.

Such a small move fell into his eyes, making him even more excited.

"Um!"

She exclaimed softly and suddenly widened her eyes. At this moment, her lips were wrapped in a strong tenderness, and everything around her seemed to be non-existent. Just like the dew in the morning and the evening breeze in the evening, it hit from all directions and gradually became fainted.

It took her a long time to breathe.

The two were very close. Lu Zhaoyi couldn't help but lower her head, bit her lip, plucked up her courage, raised her head and looked at him.

Xia Pei's eyes were filled with light and dark light.

He is not a person who reveals his joy, anger, sorrow and happiness, but at this moment, he is like a different person, and what follows is a strong sense of pampering.

"Just...here..." He wanted to defend himself, but he couldn't speak.

In an instant, Lu Zhaoyi stretched out her finger and pressed her against his lips, indicating that he would not speak, and her eyes had completely fallen into it, and his face was reflected in her eyes.

"Your Majesty... You and I are performing six rituals. I am afraid that they are not in accordance with the etiquette and law. Fortunately, no one sees it..."

Xia Pei smiled, "Who said no one saw it? Uncle Yuanlong has been watching from the roof!"

These words seemed to be amusing, but they made her cheeks even redder. She struggled shyly, broke away from Xia Pei's arms and hid in the inner hall.

And Xia Pei kept smiling and following her.

Realizing that he had followed him, Lu Zhaoyi hid beside the bed and turned around and pointed at him cautiously.

"You and I have not officially finished the Six Rites, and I have not been enthroned. It is better to keep a distance!"

At the moment, her heart was completely in chaos, and she was like a deer jumping around, unable to calm down.

When Xia Pei heard this, he bent down and smiled more and more clearly. Then, he walked over step by step and stopped three steps away from her.

, sat cross-legged on the floor, dragged his chin, raised his head and stared at her carefully.

"This distance is OK?"

Just as he reached out and touched the candlestick, he said casually, "It's dark, I'll take the light..."

"Don't light the light!" Lu Zhaoyi immediately stopped, but scared him.

However, Xia Pei quickly came back to his senses and deliberately changed the topic, "I am curious, how did you get into my father's command. And the Lutai in Yedu is the palace built by his father to accommodate the beauties he has collected, but you have lived there for three years!"

His words instantly made Lu Zhaoyi fall into memories, and his alert heartstrings slowly relaxed.

In her memory, Wu Gong had some etiquette to treat counselors. In order to seek wise men, he was able to put down his figure just to gain talent.

But Lu Zhaoyi was an accident.

Back then, in the villa of Xiapi County, Xuzhou, since Duke Wu learned that Gou Chenzi, who had a "talented talent", was actually a daughter, he had been frowning.

And she settled in the villa where she temporarily settled in Xiapi County, and Wu Gong went in and out four or five times.

Until the last time, Wu Gong entered the villa and asked only one question, "How can you help me to win the world?"

Lu Zhaoyi's answer at the time: "If lord believes in me, it only takes three years to unify the world! But I have a condition!"

"you say!"

"I want a hiding place, and I cannot be discovered by anyone, and I will never be able to know my true identity... Can the lord do it?"

Mr. Wu laughed, "You call me "lord", and I will naturally fulfill you. A new palace outside Yedu City can allow Mr. Gou Chen to live temporarily, but if he cannot unify the world within three years, I will take back the palace in three years..."

"If you can unify it in three years, that palace will not only belong to you, but also 100,000 Qingzhou troops, 50,000 tiger cavalry, and 30,000 black armored guards will all be assigned by you at will!"

"Okay. Deal!"

At this point, memories are withdrawn.

Listening to her story, Xia Pei almost burst into laughter, but she saw that she looked serious and quickly stopped her smile.

"I also want to ask you, why did you give yourself Gou Chenzi's name?"

Lu Zhaoyi pursed her lips, "When I was young, I often followed my master to study medicine in the medicine house, and the first medicinal herb that my master taught me to recognize was Gou Chen..."

"Gou Chen, Gou Chen?" He whispered, it turned out that the name came from a medicinal herb!

Soon, he wanted to ask again, but looked up and found that when had she stood up.

"Tonight is still long. Zhaoyi wants to do an important thing. I will be wronged and stay here for a while for a night. Zhaoyi will go out first."

As soon as she finished speaking, before she could take a few steps, Xia Pei's voice came, "You are planning to fight Wu Chong's men tonight, right? If you are lucky this night, you can kill half of Wu Chong's followers. Am I right?"

Turning back, she looked at Xia Pei's face, like a calm pool of water, without any turbulence, as if everything was under his control.

"Promise me, you won't go anywhere tonight. Just be here and stay with me, okay?"

He suddenly got up and walked towards her.

This sudden move caught her off guard and quickly took a step back.

At this moment, she understood the meaning in his eyes, "It turns out that Your Majesty has already arranged it. Your Majesty should have been arranged in Luojing City, just waiting for the other party to fall into this trap set in advance?"

She looked at his face and was still calm, and she sighed in her heart that the emperor was never confused.

She felt very moved in her heart. She secretly decided not to escape and looked at him calmly.

"Since Your Majesty already knows all this, why did you mention Wu Chong to the ranks of the Three Dukes?"

Xia Pei walked towards her with a smile on his face, "At that time, I couldn't see that he had such an objection. He just wanted to balance Du Yan. Lu Lin was a cunning person, but he didn't expect to release Wu Chong, a sinister and vicious person like Wu Chong."

"Then..." she asked tentatively, "Your Majesty

How to deal with it?"

"What do you think I should do?" he asked, while reaching out and grabbing her shoulder, forcing her to look at him.

She bowed her head, "I am stupid, I can't guess what Your Majesty thinks."

His deep eyes looked straight into her eyes.

"Are you still stupid?" Xia Pei shook his head, "You are the smartest woman in the world I have ever met, and I am the one I have loved for a long time. When I was in Lutai, I was still a general in the Central Army, so I met you, which made me lose my soul. Since then, I have only you in my heart and can no longer tolerate others."

The sudden confession made Lu Zhaoyi panic, and at least his thinking was temporarily lost.

But she noticed this and forced herself to calm down and calm down to think about how to deal with the next thing.

Xia Pei was not impatient, but just waited patiently.

After a long time, she finally pulled away from her thoughts, raised her eyes and looked at Xia Pei.

"How sure is your Majesty sure about the layout tonight?"

"Three, three percent!" he said.

Lu Zhaoyi was stunned, "That day, we went to the Prince Peng's mansion and happened to meet King Liang leaving the city. I think that Your Majesty made preparations for today at that time. If you compare the group of gentry tribes gathered in Hanoi County this time, Your Majesty's martial marching is still not enough!"

Xia Pei suddenly tightened, "What are you going to do?"

"I will help you improve your plan tonight..."

She threw Xia Pei's hand on her shoulder away, turned around firmly, and walked out the door.

"Wait!" Xia Pei wanted to catch her, but because of the dark night, he was lost.
