Chapter 41 - Misunderstanding

"Really, really?" Duanmu Yan stared at Gong Shengrui and took the opportunity to let out a burp.

Gong Shengrui frowned; she was not smart enough to begin with, now that he was drunk, he was no different from a paste.

"Zhen, Zhen shouldn't have bitten you …"

"What else?"

Duanmu Yan scratched her head and thought for a while.

Gong Shengrui's face darkened, as expected, he should not have any hope for her, "As the ruler of a nation, in front of a hundred officials, not only were you drunk to the point of staring, you were even going to eat? What kind of logic was this? If word of this gets out, are you afraid that this New Moon Dynasty will not lose enough face? "

"No water... "Hand in hand, chicken leg in hand, it's better, easier to gnaw on …" Duanmu Yan innocently muttered.

Gong Shengrui held onto the tip of her lower jaw, and tightened his grip.

"So, it became a reason for you to drink and ignore etiquette? "Hmm?" The slightly raised end was filled with a sense of danger.

Duanmu Yan pursed her lips and struggled with all his might, attempting to break free from Gong Shengrui's restraints. Unfortunately, her strength was like an ant struggling in death, unable to harm him at all.

Duanmu Yan used both hands and feet to push Gong Shengrui, but the more she pushed, the tighter Gong Shengrui's fingers became. In the end, the pain made her afraid to move around recklessly, her shoulders twitched, it was too pitiful to mention.

"In the future, do you still dare to be so presumptuous in front of the officials?"

Duanmu Yan subconsciously wanted to shake her head, but her lower jaw was being controlled, making it impossible for her to move a single inch. She could only obediently open her mouth and say: "T-I won't dare, I will never, ever do it again!"

Seeing her teary eyes like a pitiful bug being squeezed out, Gong Shengrui silently sighed, and released her fingertip, letting her go.

Duanmu Yan anxiously retreated, her petite body shrank to the corner of the bed, vigilantly staring at Gong Shengrui, afraid that if he were to use his wolfish nature again, she would not even have a single bone left in her body.

Gong Shengrui squinted his eyes slightly. His guarded look did not seem like he was being drunk at all.

"Knock..."

The sudden knock on the door caused Gong Shengrui to retract his gaze, turn around, and walk out.

"My Lord!" The banquet has already ended! " Feng Ji replied respectfully.

"En!" Gong Shengrui responded indifferently. Sweeping his eyes across the distance, he sneaked a peek at Chen Xi: "Entrusted by someone?"

"Huh?" Feng Ji was startled, he then realised what he meant, and laughed: "This subordinate was just on the way!"

"So?"

"Is the Emperor really in your Qianle Palace?" Feng Ji did not fear death.

Gong Shengrui snorted: "Do you need me to open the door for you, I?"

"Eh ~" Feng Ji only felt a wave of cold wind sweep past him, and subconsciously took two steps back: "~ That … This subordinate still has matters to attend to, so I'll be taking my leave first! "

Gong Shengrui waved his hands in a completely unhurried and unhurried manner.

"…" Feng Ji turned around, and just as he was about to leave, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a small red dot on Gong Shengrui's neck from the corner of his eyes, revealing the traces of an extremely ambiguous fake image.

The pupils of the Ghost Axe immediately dilated as he moved closer to his side.

"My Lord!" Is it really okay for you all to be so intense? "

Gong Shengrui's expression froze as he raised his hand and slapped him ten meters away.

Feng Ji laughed and came forward again fearlessly: "Master! Love between a man and a woman is the love of a man, so you don't have to feel embarrassed! "

"If you dare to spout another nonsense, do you believe that the I will order people to sew your mouth shut?"

"I do!" This subordinate believes in it! " To prevent himself from becoming a slack-jawed person, Feng Ji flirted with him. After blinking his eyes at Gong Shengrui, he decisively ran away.

Gong Shengrui raised his hand, and touched his neck, which was still stinging from the pain, and sighed helplessly.

This time, the misunderstanding was huge …

The next day.

When Dou Yi woke up in a daze, the first thing she noticed was pain, a headache.

"Emperor! You're awake! " The wet nurse who was feeding Yuxuan asked.

Dou Yi raised her eyebrows and patted her muddleheaded head. "Where is Zhen?"

"Qianle Palace!" The wet nurse stood up and placed Yuxuan, who had eaten his fill, into the cradle. She walked to the side of the table and picked up the sobering soup that the imperial kitchen had sent beforehand. It's easy to have a headache after a hangover. Drink some wine and you'll feel better! "

Duanmu Yan looked at the wet nurse doubtfully, got up and took the soup and drank it.

"Why are we in the Qianle Palace?" Shouldn't it be in the Qianqing Palace?

"I heard that Emperor got drunk yesterday and was brought here to rest!"

Duanmu Yan scratched her head. When did he become so kind?

The wet nurse automatically ignored her confusion and said: "Emperor! Your toiletries and breakfast are ready! "

"Oh!" Duanmu Yan shook his head, his head turning slightly better, got off the bed, and walked out.

After a simple shower and breakfast, Duanmu Yan carried Yuxuan out of the Qianle Palace.

"Emperor! You're finally out! " In the middle of the night, Chen Xi who was waiting right outside of Qianle Palace, heaved a sigh of relief after seeing that Duanmu Yan was safe and sound.

Duanmu Yan blinked her eyes: "You have been waiting here for us the entire time?"

"This servant is worried about Emperor!"

"I was just sleeping, what's there to worry about?" Duanmu Yan was bewildered, obviously having completely forgotten about what he did at the banquet yesterday.

Chen Xi opened her mouth, and tried her best to ask tactfully: "Do you remember what happened yesterday, Emperor?"

"What is it?"

"…" This servant can say, other than being disrespectful during the banquet, did you get beaten out of the latrine by the Prince Regent himself?

Duanmu Yan looked around suspiciously, her cheeks were completely red, but she remained silent for a long time: "What exactly happened?"

"Nothing, nothing!" Chen Xi bit on the corner of her mouth, feeling that this matter was nothing more than a waste of time and effort.

"Really?"

"En!" Chen Xi guiltily changed the topic: "Emperor! Where are you carrying the little prince? "

"I feel that the weather is not bad today. I'll take him for a walk in the imperial garden!" Duanmu Yan answered truthfully. He did not realize that she was purposefully changing the topic.

"This servant will accompany you!"

"Alright!"

Within the imperial garden, a hundred flowers were blooming, exuding a fragrant scent.

Beautiful butterflies, bees, flocks of flying, happy and busy.

"Hehe ~" Yuxuan grinned and waved her chubby little hands, as if she was trying to grab a butterfly that was flying above his head.

Duanmu Yan kissed his little face. "You want butterflies?"

Yuxuan glanced at his mother and shouted in a low voice: "... To... "To..."

Duanmu Yan was startled, then, she looked at Chen Xi with a face full of surprise: "She knows how to speak, aiya!"
