When I returned to the yard, I was pulled by Yu Niang. I was slightly startled and a little annoyed.
She said: "Meet the emperor?"
That faint question made me understand that she had known about Dongfang Ao's arrival for a long time.
Also, she is from Dongfang Ao, how could she not know about his arrival?
There was no answer, so I passed Yu Niang and returned to the room.
The room was empty, I didn't light any candles, it was pitch dark, leaving myself in a quiet space.
I don’t know what I’m feeling sad about, maybe I’m destined to be sad like this in my life!
I don’t know how long it took, but when the door opened and the faint moonlight shone in, reflecting the tall figure of the person at the door, I raised my eyes.
In the darkness, I looked at the tall black figure at the door, watched him come in, and watched him close the door.
The moonlight hit the side of his face, making his handsome face clearly visible in front of me. I looked at it dreamily without making any movement.
He walked to me and gently held me in his arms. I leaned quietly in his arms and breathed in the scent of him.
His chest is so warm, but he is always worried about gains and losses. It is not something I can have all the time.
How many nights were quiet, how many nights I couldn't sleep, I was just a lonely person, without the warm chest I longed for.
"I met an acquaintance today."
He opened his mouth and spoke to me with the majesty of an emperor, but I could hear the temptation in his voice.
"I wonder who the emperor saw today?"
He was distant, so I was also distant and asked lightly.
In fact, I already knew in my heart who he was talking about.
After all, Dongfang Ao and Dongfang Luo are relatives, with the same blood flowing through their bodies. It is inevitable that they will have telepathy when they meet, right?
"Xi'er, I don't like your tone at the moment."
He was slightly angry at my alienation, so I remained silent.
The first words he spoke were not to ask how I was doing, if I was okay, or if I missed him, but they were a test. How could I not be sad?
"Guess who I saw today?"
He spoke again, and there was no trace of anger in his voice, instead it was filled with amusement.
His thin lips gently kissed my earlobe, stimulating the desire for him in my body, making me struggle endlessly.
"I can't guess who you saw, just tell me!"
I tried hard to control my inner desire for him, suppressed my voice, and spoke calmly.
The only person I can guess is Dongfang Luo, but I can't open my mouth. If I open my mouth, I'll be asking for trouble.
I can only wait, wait for him to speak, and then dispel his doubts. Even though he is not that easy to deceive, I can't put Dongfang Luo in danger again.
"Have you met the high priest?"
He cut to the chase and his words were full of inducements.
Does he distrust me that much? Maybe I should thank him for his distrust, because I am destined to lie to him.
"Um."
I nodded gently, calmly.
He continued: "Did you think he looked like a human being?"
I shook my head, not too much, not wanting to give him the slightest chance to doubt.
But he looked at me, his sharp black eyes staring at me in the darkness, as if he was exploring the truth or falsehood of what I said.
"Who do you think the high priest looks like?"
I asked him back, looking into his sharp eyes without hesitation.
