The world only regards him as someone with high status and high authority, but they have never thought about the price he has paid for today.
Even now, there are still countless flashes of swords and shadows, and undercurrents are surging.
This Lanling City, no, or in other words, this entire star, contains more dangers than imagined.
A day when he stands at the top is a day when he is in the center of this whirlpool.
Emperor Shitian looked at her with a serious expression and her thin lips were slightly curved.
"But don't worry Xi'er, they probably can't hold it back anymore, and they will just wait to close the net."
Since he can ascend to this position, he can naturally sit firmly and protect her safety.
Ye Xiyue knew that he must have planned and prepared, and felt a little relieved.
Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and looked at him hesitantly.
"So those people...are hiding among the aristocratic families?"
A flash of surprise flashed across Emperor Shitian's eyes, but he quickly returned to normal and nodded.
She has always been extremely smart, so it is normal for her to guess this.
"Today's hunting competition is an introduction." Emperor Shi Tiandao said.
No wonder.
Ye Xiyue was deep in thought. She didn't feel it at first, but now that she thought about it, she realized that Emperor Shitian did not attach great importance to this hunting competition and had secretly made many preparations.
This can be seen from the fact that he never stopped the competition, but then quickly took action, and finally canceled the future hunting competition very simply.
"Then you accompany me back to Lanling this time..."
"Of course we should give them a chance so that they can be exposed more thoroughly and solve it better."
Emperor Shitian looked calm and his voice was clear, but he had a murderous look on his face.
Ye Xiyue was completely relieved.
Di Shitian checked her pulse again and looked at the darkening sky outside: "Would you like to sleep? I'll stay with you here."
After struggling for so long, Ye Xiyue was indeed very tired, especially leaning in Emperor Shitian's broad and flat arms, feeling the warm breath constantly coming from his body, and the fatigue and sleepiness in her bones surged up.
She relaxed her body, leaned into his arms, closed her eyes, buried her head in his shoulder, and unconsciously rubbed him gently, showing a rare hint of coquettishness.
"good."
She responded in a low voice.
Emperor Shitian picked her up and put her back on the bed, covering her with a brocade quilt.
Although this was her first time in this place, his scent filled the hall, and Ye Xiyue fell into a deep sleep soon.
The hall became quiet, and it was completely dark outside. The moonlight streamed in through the windows and reflected on her peaceful sleeping face.
Emperor Shitian stayed by the bed, looking at her quietly with lowered eyes.
When her breathing became even and regular, he moved his gaze downwards and paused for a moment on her full red lips. His eyes darkened slightly and his Adam's apple slid up and down.
After waiting for so long, looking forward to so long, even though she was right in front of me, I still felt like I was in a dream, with an unreal and unreal feeling.
Emperor Shitian bowed his head slightly and kissed the corner of her lips very lightly.
She seemed to feel something and squeezed into his arms.
He pushed the messy black hair on the side of her face behind her ears, and his deep and melodious voice echoed in the quiet hall, carrying reassuring power.
"Xi'er, I'm here."
…
Ye Xiyue was completely relaxed and had a good night's sleep, but some people were not in such a good mood.
That night, countless people in Lanling City could not sleep all night.
