Of course, Dongming Ziyu's position as crown prince was also deposed, but because he was a god in military warfare at a young age and had great military exploits, the emperor not only did not anger him because of the Hao family's affairs, but also named him King Xuan and moved out of the East Palace.

But everyone knows that what saved his life was not his military exploits, but the heart disease that could kill him at any time and the hidden illness that prevented him from having a future.

Dongming Ziyu was silent for a moment, calming down his mood, and then said after a while: "My mother has a trusted doctor who can suppress the heart-eating Gu and reduce the damage to the body, otherwise I would not be alive today."

"Is it Xia Helin?" Shangguan Ruoli immediately thought of the relationship between Yuan Hao and Xia Helin.

"Yes, you are very smart!" Dongming Ziyu praised her without hesitation and squeezed her hand half-heartedly.

The emperor gave Shangguan Ruoli to him, and he was disgusted with it at first. But Shangguan Ruoli was not as meticulous as before, and he and Shangguan Tianxiao also had a comradeship, so he planned to keep her alive.

.

Unexpectedly, so many things happened later, and he found that he cared more and more about her, so much so that he wanted to stay with her for the rest of his life and never lose her.

Since Dongming Ziyu had made up his mind to have a good talk with her, he naturally said sincerely, "I was indeed seriously injured at that time, and that part was indeed not... Well, after Xia Helin's treatment, he slowly recovered. But

I chose to hide it because my father is even more wary of me because of my mother’s concubine and the renter’s affairs. However, he has to reuse me to check and balance the power of the prince and his relatives.”

He was afraid that Shangguan Ruoli, a woman, would not understand this, so he explained: "First, because of my physical condition, no matter how powerful I am, I have no chance of being crowned emperor; second, because I am alone, with no mother running the palace, and no one in the court."

My family supports me; the third reason is because I really have the ability to lead an army."

Dongming Ziyu felt that he had not said as much tonight in ten years. He was not even on guard against Shangguan Ruoli. He knew that this was very dangerous. He knew that his identity and situation did not allow him to trust anyone.

Even himself.

But he just believed in Shangguan Ruoli, and he just wanted to talk to her.

He knew that he was taking a huge gamble, risking his own life and the entire Prince Xuan's Palace.

In the near future, he will know that he has won the bet.

Shangguan Ruoli is a person who will go through fire and water for you if you give me your sincerity. Her reward will make him grateful that heaven still cares for him.

It felt very relaxing to have someone to talk to. For the first time in many years, Dongming Ziyu slept so peacefully. There were no nightmares, no heart palpitations, no defensiveness...

Shangguan Ruoli didn't sleep well. She was not used to being held in someone's arms and was too tired.

The first ray of morning light shone into the house through the window lattice, and Shangguan Ruoli woke up.

Dongming Ziyu slept soundly, and the hazy morning light cast a faint halo on his suffocatingly handsome face, making his resolute face soften a lot.

Shangguan Ruoli lay down on his side, supporting his chin with his hand, looking a little dazed.

Unexpectedly, Dongming Ziyu, who was originally extremely cold, now closed his eyes and restrained all his sharpness, and actually had a faint feeling of peace and tranquility over the years.

His long eyelashes were drooped, casting mottled light and shadow on his face as white as jade.

Think about it, he was only 20 years old. If it were in modern times, he would still be a young man who spent his youth on the university campus, fell in love and played basketball.

However, he is already the God of War who has gone through a bloody storm, arming himself with a cold shell, being cunning and calculating at every step.

Shangguan Ruoli's gaze went from top to bottom, passing over his hairline, across his eyebrows, slowly down the bridge of his nose, and finally landed on his extremely beautiful thin lips.

The corners of her lips outlined a very beautiful arc, which made her feel inexplicably proud.

Shangguan Ruoli laughed and pinched his nose, "You're awake and you're still pretending to be asleep!"

Dongming Ziyu suddenly grabbed her hand and licked his lips seductively, "I'm afraid that my beloved concubine won't see enough, so I don't dare to disturb her."

"Narcissistic!" Shangguan Ruoli punched his chest, his beautiful eyes moist.

Dongming Ziyu seemed to have received some signal, his eyes lit up and he looked expectant, "Li'er, is that okay?"

His voice was hoarse in the morning, low and alluring.

Shangguan Ruoli felt his heart beating like a drum, his whole body was hot, his face turned red, he lowered his long eyelashes and said in a voice like a gnat: "Hmm..."

After receiving the permission, Dongming Ziyu was overjoyed and untied her belt without any hesitation.

But he pulled the belt and it became a dead ring!

Although he suffered a lot, he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and had an unparalleled status. Not to mention taking off other people's clothes, his own clothes were taken off by the eunuchs who served him closely.

Therefore, a certain prince is now in a hurry.

Just when he was eager to tear off the clothes that were against him, he heard someone knocking on the door.

Then, there was a rejoicing voice: "Princess, Nanny Su has brought the servants in the backyard to greet you."

Uh! That old nanny who values ​​the most rules and is strict with everything?

What time is it now? Ahem, it seems to be getting late.

Shangguan Ruoli was panting, holding down Dongming Ziyu's hand that was still fighting with her belt, and said in a calm tone: "Okay, I understand."

Fortunately, the door was bolted last night to prevent Dongming Ziyu, otherwise Rejoice and Sassoon would come in to wait. Seeing this scene, it would be extremely embarrassing.

Rejoice said outside the door: "Princess, why did you bolt the door? Please open the door so that the slaves can go in and help you wash and change clothes."

Dongming Ziyu came in secretly through a secret passage, so it was better to return the same way. If people knew that he was staying here and Shangguan Ruoli was not tortured and killed, I don't know what kind of trouble it would cause.

Shangguan Ruoli doesn't want to have more sisters to keep him company.

"Go quickly!" Shangguan Ruoli pushed Dongming Ziyu off his body.

Dongming Ziyusheng lay on the bed helplessly, with a look of annoyance and shame on his face.

Shangguan Ruoli smiled evilly and said, "Go back and comfort yourself."

Dongming Ziyu gritted his teeth sadly and jumped up, about to pounce on Shangguan Ruoli again.

"Slave, please give your regards to the princess!" came Aunt Su's plain yet majestic voice.

Shangguan Ruoli pressed against Dongming Ziyu's chest to prevent her from rushing towards her, and exaggeratedly complained: "Aunt Su is reminding me that it's getting late and she's breaking the rules."

If Dongming Ziyu stayed here in a grand manner, as a newlywed, he would be forgiven for getting up late, but if he stayed alone in the empty room and still slept until now, it would be criticized.

Dongming Ziyu let her go dejectedly and said dejectedly: "Mama Su is stiff and serious. She manages the middle servant of the palace's back house. She has a good heart and is loyal to the king..."

Shangguan Ruoli saw his dissatisfied look and gloated, "Don't worry, as long as she doesn't go too far, I won't embarrass her."
