Yan Huai returned to Jiyue Courtyard and found the little girl still sitting in the outer courtyard. He pulled her up and asked, "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Yuan Yuan rubbed his sore eyes and replied softly, "Yan Shenzhi, I'm waiting for you."

"Next time, you don't have to wait for me. When you feel sleepy, go to bed." After Yan Huai finished speaking, he led her back to the room, covered her with a quilt, patted her quilt gently, and watched her fall asleep.

Yan Huai sat in front of Yuan Yuan's bed for a long time before returning to his room to wash up. Thinking about Emperor Yan's selfishness and hypocrisy in his mind, Queen Wen's frail body made it difficult to fall asleep.

In the middle of the night, Yan Huai, who was sleeping lightly, heard a few sobs in a trance. He got up irritably and wanted to see which palace servant was making the fuss.

As soon as I opened the door, I found that Yuan Yuan's room next door was brightly lit. Why did the little girl keep the lights on in the middle of the night?

Pushing the door open and walking around the hall, he saw a little girl crying in Qing Yi's arms, "What happened?"

Qing Yi looked up and saw Yan Huai, and quickly stood up with Yuan Yuan in her arms. Before she could salute, the little girl in her arms was taken by Yan Huai.

"Your Highness, Miss Xinxin just had a nightmare." Qing Yi said to Yan Huai who was sitting on the bed.

The little girl nestled on his chest without saying a word, holding his clothes tightly with her little hands. Yan Huai could only gently pat her back to comfort her, "Go down first, and stay here with her alone."

"Yes, your servant is outside." Qing Yi bowed and left the room.

"Xinxin, what did you dream about? Don't be afraid, Gu is right here." Yan Huai said and was about to put the little girl back on the bed, but Yuan Yuan was very resistant and refused to let go of him.

"Yan Shenzhi, I don't want to sleep! I'm scared!"

"What's wrong?" Yan Huai hugged her back, tilted her little face and looked at him.

Yuan Yuan's eyes were red and the tip of her nose was red from crying. She looked at him aggrievedly and said, "Yan Shenzhi, I just dreamed that my aunt died..."

"I don't want my aunt to die! I'm scared! I don't want to sleep. My aunt will die as soon as I sleep, wuwuwu..."

Tears soaked the clothes around Yan Huai's heart. The little girl felt aggrieved and blamed herself, so she could only shed tears to relieve her pain.

"No, Queen Mother will be fine, don't scare yourself." Yan Huai's words didn't know whether he was comforting Yuan Yuan or comforting himself.

He just held her quietly, patting her back gently again and again, until she could hear her gentle breathing in his arms.

She slowly put her back on the bed. When she was about to get up, she found that the corner of her clothes was tightly held in the hands of the little girl. She was very uneasy.

Yan Huai did not let go of her hand forcefully, but just lay down next to her and fell asleep with her.

Early in the morning, Yuan Yuan woke up due to urgency to urinate. He turned over but did not turn over. Instead, he felt like he was being pressed down by a big stone.

"Yan Shenzhi, you are so heavy!" Yuan Yuan muttered, trying hard to move the arm across her body. Not only did it not move at all, but it was tightened by Yan Huai.

Yan Huai was deeply sleepy, thinking that the little girl had another nightmare, and subconsciously patted her belly. However, Yuan Yuan no longer paid attention to his actions, stretched out her hand to rub his face, and called him anxiously, "

Yan Shenzhi, I’m going to pee my pants!”

"Huh?" Yan Huai let go of her. Before he was really awake, he saw the little girl stepped on him and stumbled out of the room.

After the little girl had solved her physical problem, Yan Huai had already gotten up and went back to the room to wash up. The two met at the dining table in the small courtyard.

"Yan Shenzhi, why did you go to sleep in my room yesterday?" Yuan Yuan took a bite of the bun and looked at him strangely and asked.

Yan Huai turned a deaf ear and drank his porridge by himself. He originally wanted to see him ignore him, so he could only look at Qing Yi aside.

"Miss Xinxin, you had a nightmare last night and kept crying. His Highness heard it and came over to stay with you. Don't you remember?" Qingyi carefully handed the side dish to Yuan Yuan and explained warmly.

Yuan Yuan obviously did not remember this happening, and asked with a look of astonishment, "Ah? Am I crying? Why don't I remember."

"Eat first." If she forgot, she would forget it, and Yan Huai didn't want her to think about it again. It was not a good dream.

After breakfast, Yuan Yuan and Yan Huai parted ways at the courtyard gate. She was going to Siwan Court, while Yan Huai had to go to Qin Zheng Court to greet Emperor Yan first and assist him in handling government affairs.

When Yuan Yuan arrived at Siwan Courtyard, Queen Wen had already finished her breakfast with the help of Aunt Tang, but her body was still very weak and she was leaning on the bed listlessly.

Seeing the little girl coming, Queen Wen's originally cold expression began to smile, "Xinxin is here, have you had breakfast?"

"Auntie!"

Yuan Yuan excitedly threw herself into Queen Wen's arms and replied softly, "I have eaten. Is Auntie feeling better?"

Queen Wen's sudden collapse last night left her with lingering fears. Maybe she still didn't understand the meaning of death, but no matter how she screamed or cried, no one responded to her, which made her very scared.

"Auntie is much better, are you frightened?" Queen Wen touched the top of her hair lovingly. Aunt Tang who was standing by could not help but blush when she heard this.

Her poor empress, she was such a generous and gentle person, her temperament was just as her name suggests, extremely gentle, but it was unfair that such a good person like her could not meet a good man, and she had to die in this pickle.

In the deep palace of shame.

"Auntie, please be well." The little girl expressed her concern in simple and sincere words. Although she was usually a little noisy, Queen Wen also gained a lot of joy with her by her side.

"Okay, we are all fine."

"Master, Concubine Xian and Concubine De, together with the princes and princesses, have come to see you. They are already waiting in the courtyard." After receiving the report from the little palace maid, Aunt Tang whispered in Queen Wen's ear.

"That's all, there's no need to stop them. Since you want to pry, let them take a closer look so that they can stop as soon as possible." Empress Wen was very annoyed with the concubines in Emperor Yan's harem, which made her already pale face even worse.

A touch of gloom.

With Queen Wen's approval, Concubine Xian, mother and son, and Concubine De, mother and son, entered Queen Wen's room one after another. First, they greeted Queen Wen as usual, and then sat down not far from the bed.

Concubine Xian glanced at Queen Wen's sickly face and said with a guilty look on her face, "Empress, you really frightened me last night. It's all your fault that I didn't discipline your servants well. If you have any good intentions, concubine

It’s really hard to escape the blame for all deaths.”

Concubine De frowned slightly as she listened to Concubine Xian's words. The Fu family's upbringing was truly unflattering, and she actually dared to curse the queen in front of her. Is she crazy?

"Concubine Xian, please be careful with your words in front of the Queen." Concubine De reminded her coldly, but Aunt Tang had already taken action against Concubine Xian.

"Snapped"

"A mere concubine dares to be so presumptuous in front of the Queen!" Nanny Tang slapped Concubine Xian directly. The palm prints on her face were bright red, which showed how serious her attack was.

Everyone was caught off guard by Aunt Tang's slap, but Yuan Yuan looked at her with admiration, "Oh my God, Auntie is so awesome o.o"
