"Your Highness, what time is it now and why am I asleep?"
As soon as Yu Shuyue opened her eyes, she saw his smiling eyes staring at her. Her sleepiness dissipated and she quickly sat up.
Qi Xiuyao stretched out his hand to smooth the fine hair on her forehead, and said warmly: "It's Shenzheng time, is Ah Yue hungry? I asked Hua An to go to Zuixian Tower to pack some meals."
After Yu Shuyue said his words, he realized that there were several food boxes on the table next to him, and the place where he was lying was the couch in the carriage.
"Why did I sleep for so long? Why didn't Your Highness wake me up? It's already so late."
Yu Shuyue still didn't believe it when she heard that it was Shenzheng time, mainly because she couldn't accept that she had slept for so long.
She opened the curtains by the window and looked at the sky outside, which was getting darker. Only then did she accept the fact that she had slept for so long.
The main reason is that it is already late autumn and it is raining, so the sky gets dark relatively quickly.
Qi Xiuyao opened the food box on the desk as he spoke, "Looking at Ah Yue sleeping soundly, I can't bear to part with it."
"But it will get completely dark later, and we won't be able to go to the back mountain."
Yu Shuyue was a little strange about why she slept so soundly. Before she finished speaking, she smelled the aroma of food wafting out.
Smelling the smell of food, her stomach growled, and she covered her stomach in embarrassment.
"The matter in the back mountain is not urgent. You can come another day."
"No, we've come here today. Your Highness, let's go to the back mountain first."
She slept with her like this all day, and she felt a little embarrassed and unwilling.
"Eat first and then talk."
There is no need to rush that matter, there are more important things than the mountain behind now.
As Qi Xiuyao spoke, he poured rich chicken soup from one of the food boxes and fed it to her mouth with a spoon.
The tempting chicken soup has reached her mouth. Yu Shuyue, who was already hungry, was immediately persuaded by him and just asked the man in front of her to feed her in person. She really couldn't eat it.
Maybe she was allergic to romance. She looked at Qi Xiuyao with a slightly embarrassed face and said, "I have a hand. Thank you, Your Highness." She took it directly from his hand.
Qi Xiuyao smiled fondly and let her go, then lowered his head and took another bowl for her to serve.
Zuixianlou is worthy of being the first restaurant in the capital. Although the dishes are not as good as the imperial dishes in the palace, they are still quite good.
Yu Shuyue looked at Qi Xiuyao who was just picking up vegetables and soup for her, and he hadn't moved yet. She rolled her eyes, then put the bowl in her hand on the table and started picking up vegetables for him.
Qi Xiuyao was flattered, and he did not shirk at all. The two of them ate their meal very quietly. After they had eaten and drank enough, the sky outside was almost dark, with only a little light.
"Your Highness, it's completely dark. Do we have to go back?"
She had already gone out to the foot of the mountain of Huayan Temple, just a step away from the back mountain, but she slept in the carriage all day and wasted all her time.
"You can go now and eat while you're at it."
After Qi Xiuyao said this, he stood up from the carriage, opened the curtain of the carriage and got out of the carriage, then turned around and extended his hand to her.
"Your Highness...you...you..."
Although Yu Shuyue had long guessed that the man in black was Qi Xiuyao, wasn't there no direct evidence to prove it?
Moreover, when Yan Qiushan was in such a dangerous situation last time, he could only rely on her, so Yu Shuyue still thought that he was not good enough.
The man in black may be his subordinate rather than himself.
But now Qi Xiuyao actually stood up without any warning. The neat movement he made when he got off the carriage didn't look like he was doing anything wrong.
"Ayue, what's wrong?"
Qi Xiuyao looked at her with a smile, his face full of innocence, and he had no intention of explaining himself.
"Your Highness, come up quickly."
Yu Shuyue stretched out her head nervously and looked around, then reached out and grabbed his broad palm, and pulled him hard to the car.
Qi Xiuyao didn't understand why she suddenly panicked, and used her strength to get on the carriage, "What's wrong, Ah Yue."
"Are His Highness's legs fake? Since you have been hiding for so many years, why were you standing outside with such a prickly look just now? Fortunately, it is getting late and no one is outside, otherwise the secret you have worked so hard for so many years will be exposed.
.”
Qi Xiuyao looked at the real worry on her face, and his heart suddenly softened into a puddle of water, and his heart felt warm. When he opened his mouth to speak, he realized that his throat was also a little dry, and his words were trembling.
.
"After meeting Kong Qing, he spent a whole year giving me a new lease of life on my legs that had been sentenced to death by all the imperial doctors. However, I had been living in a wheelchair for more than ten years.
It took me a while to get used to walking on my legs, and this feeling is amazing."
"Ah Yue has heard about the situation before. That person disliked me since I was a child. If my position hadn't been exchanged for my mother's life and my grandfather's compromise, he might have given it back to Qi Xiujin long ago."
"So this is why His Highness is still in a wheelchair even after his legs have healed."
He spoke so calmly that Yu Shuyue felt a little tight in her chest.
"Well, but Queen Ning Rong was very suspicious and kept trying to test me, so I simply asked Kong Qing to give me a medicine. After taking the medicine, I lost feeling in my legs. Last time I went to Yan Qiushan
The antidote is gone, so Ah Yue suffers so much."
Qi Xiuyao has always been brooding about this matter. If the antidote had been available to him at that time, Ah Yue would not have suffered such a serious crime.
"Your Highness, I'm fine."
Yu Shuyue was a little embarrassed, because just now she was thinking whether he felt that he was not important enough last time, so she was reluctant to expose the secret at the risk of being known by the killer.
Unexpectedly, he was really unable to take action at that time.
He could see that Yu Shuyue felt a little uncomfortable because of his words. The sins he had suffered were all over, and he didn't want her to feel sad about it.
He put a smile on his face again, and his tone became a little more relaxed. He approached her and whispered softly: "I heard Ah Yue's last test. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you directly at that time. I frightened Ah Yue last time."
, Ah Yue, how do you want me to atone for my sins?"
It was rare that Yu Shuyue didn't immediately back away when he approached. Maybe it was because he completely confessed to her, and her heart was soft, and she felt even more loving towards him at this time.
"Which time did your Highness say that?"
He threatened her twice, once on her way back to Beijing, and once on the Lantern Festival, and a little accident happened on that day.
Obviously Yu Shuyue had just forgotten the accident that happened on the Lantern Festival, otherwise she would not have mentioned it.
After all, thinking about the situation at that time is still a bit embarrassing.
"Are you talking about the unintentional act of accidentally kissing you through the veil last time?"
Qi Xiuyao emphasized the word kiss, and the smile on his face had faded away. His dark eyes looked straight at her as if staring at prey, as if he wanted to look into the depths of her soul.
"If it was that kiss, although I said sorry on my lips, I was happy or even dissatisfied on the inside." This chapter has been completed!
