These two relationships were clearly contradictory, but she was actually able to maintain them very well, causing him to be completely flawless. Her intelligence wasn't related to this, but to her meticulousness. If it wasn't for that woman, perhaps he would have already stopped bearing with her.
What was she afraid of?
She wasn't afraid of anything. She just didn't want to stay with him.
Although she hadn't remembered everything about Qin Zhiruo, she still knew what Qin Zhiruo had in her heart.
"Your majesty, you obviously don't like Ruo Ruo. If it was just for the Flame Token, why would you force yourself to accept it? Although Ruo Ruo hasn't recovered all of her memories yet, if I agree to your request, once I remember where the Flame Token is, Ruo Ruo will personally hand it to you. At that time, if Your majesty wishes for the same thing, then …"
"What is it?" Xi Men Rui Xue did not think too much about it.
"Freedom." The two words were very important to her, and everyone desired them. That was freedom.
He didn't answer, but let his kiss fall from the sky, falling into the rain outside the window, and said that he wouldn't let her go, he definitely wouldn't let her go, that thing, even if A'ch didn't tell him what it was, one day he would find it, women are all made of water, he didn't believe that he wouldn't be able to pull her heart back from Qin Zhiqing's body.
His gentle kiss was like clear water gently sprinkling on Ruo Ruo's lips. As she pecked at her lips, every single movement intoxicated her as if she was standing in the rain, feeling that dream-like and illusory feeling.
His gentleness made her forget about resisting, as if she had already gotten used to the smell of his body. The woman's body, which was tightly pressed against his body, also emitted a faint fragrance, as if the fragrance of the night came.
Since he couldn't tell his own heart apart, he could just let his heart freely unfold.
However, no matter which way he stretched, he would obtain a woman. If he obtained one, he would not allow himself to lose her.
His hand unconsciously hung around his neck, bringing him a sense of security. His thin lips roamed over her sweet fragrance and even spread it all over the room. It was written, 'The mark of him'.
That kiss had made her forget everything. She had even forgotten that the one kissing her was him.
It was just the joy of feeling the touch of two emotions in a warm place.
It was a strange feeling that was difficult to describe.
He did not know how long he had kissed her. He only knew that her breathing was about to be stifled by his unbridled kiss.
Wuu …" "Ahh!" "Even as he gasped for breath, he continued to kiss her.
But at this moment, Cui'er's voice came from outside the door. "Your majesty, something happened to Luan Phoenix Palace."
She kissed her lips and lifted her eyes in a dazed manner, exactly at the point where Xi Men Rui Xue's desire had yet to disappear. However, both she and he had to suppress it at this moment, not only because her body did not allow it, but also because of Cui Er's report outside the door.
The people of Luan Phoenix Palace knew who lived there better than anyone else.
His lips instantly turned cold.
The little hand around his neck also relaxed.
A gentle smile hung on his face, relaxed and content, carrying with it a sense of indifference. "Your majesty, something happened to Esteemed Empress Dowager. I think you should let her go."
After she said this, Xi Men Rui Xue couldn't let go of her hand. "Ruo Ruo, I …" In this world, there were too many people who wanted the title of Emperor. However, only he knew how difficult it was, and what he wanted was not power or profit, but a woman.
However, he did not know when he would be able to clear the clouds and arrive at the destination he wanted.
Suddenly, Xi Men Rui Xue's body struggled. This struggle had caught Xi Men Rui Xue off guard and made her fall to the ground. This use of strength caused her seemingly weak body to break out in a thin layer of sweat, and she said, "Greetings, your majesty."
She had a panoramic view of his hesitation. In the end, there was still that woman in his heart, a woman who was more powerful than his mother.
However, he had an abnormal relationship with that woman.
But what could she say?
The current her was nothing.
"Ruo Ruo, wait for me." He gritted his teeth, and by the time he finished speaking, he had already floated in front of the door. He did not know if it was Yun Ru Xi's doing, but he had to go, and there were some things he had to do, he had to tolerate that woman, such as the palace change last time. In order to accommodate Yun Ru Xi, he had pushed everything to the young master of the Qin family, but Yun Ru Xi had cleverly handed over the Imperial Seal to him.
The door opened.
His figure flashed out.
Ruo Ruo didn't look back, she was still standing by the window.
Outside the window, it was still drizzling like autumn, but there was no longer that misty smell from before. She watched as Xi Men Rui Xue, dressed in a bright yellow robe, sat on a palanquin and watched as he hastily left the Fragrance Lotus Pavilion before leaving the Palace.
Why on earth did he want to protect that woman so much? This was a mystery that she could never solve.
When she imagined his kiss about to fall on Yun Ru Xi's lips, her heart skipped a beat, and then it started to throb, causing her face to turn as pale as paper. She was like a lotus in a pond, battered by the rain until she was in a sorry state, unable to feel the pain.
When she turned her head and placed her hand on her belly, she told herself, Child, you really shouldn't have come.
Also, he shouldn't have come again.
His heart began to have no place to return to.
However, the words "Ruo Ruo, wait for me." were always lingering in his ears.
She actually waited for him.
He did not sleep, but stood by the window and silently looked out.
She was waiting for him to return.
He did not know what Yun Ru Xi was up to, but it seemed like she had been in charge of Xi Men Rui Xue for too long.
However, she had never had the desire to take over Ximen Ruixue.
If not.
She was thinking more about how to get away from him.
However, due to his domineering attitude, she had nowhere to run. He also didn't allow her to run.
From the third day to the fourth to the fifth, the rain continued to fall outside the window, but there was still no sign of that person.
In the end, he still did not fulfill Xi Men Rui Xue's promise.
Maybe it was just a casual sentence, but it made her wait until the sky turned bright.
"Miss, go to sleep. If you continue to stand like this, your back will be sore in the future." Cui Er had tried to persuade her who knows how many times. In fact, if she had gone to bed, she would have already gone to sleep, and she would not have needed to wait for Xi Men Rui Xue to come back just because of a few casual words. Even if the Emperor had spoken golden words, who knew if those four words he had said were random words that could not be counted.
However, if she insisted on not sleeping, then she wouldn't understand her heart. She just wanted to wait for him to come back, but her body couldn't hold on any longer.
The sky was getting brighter. Although the scene outside the window was not very clear in the rain and mist, it was as if he had not waited for Xi Men Rui Xue to return that night.
"Miss, the emperor has already left for the morning assembly. Miss should quickly go lie down and sleep for a while." Cui Er advised in fear. She did not understand what was going on between Ruo Ruo and Xi Men Rui Xue. Therefore, it was not convenient for her to guess their thoughts.
Ruo Ruo slowly turned her head, her legs were numb from standing for too long. The pain from every step almost made her fall to the ground. Luckily Cui Er was close, so she was able to support her in time, "Miss, be careful."
He hadn't slept the entire night, but when he opened his eyes and closed his eyes, what kept flashing in his mind was the scene of that night in front of the carriage, where Xi Men Rui Xue had hugged Yun Ru Xi with her white clothes. If it was someone else, she wouldn't feel so awkward, but that woman was actually Yun Ru Xi.
He really wanted to ask him why was he doing this? Was it similar to the snow grass incident earlier? He was only forced to send her to the Fragrance Pavilion to get her some snow grass.
In her heart, when she thought about that matter, she could not help but soften her heart. However, she also found it harder and harder to understand Xi Men Rui Xue's heart.
Or, she could change her perspective on him and think, maybe, he still had some unavoidable difficulties.
Sleep, her body was more important. If she really was sick, then the most painful one would be herself.
After sleeping for an entire day, Ruo Ruo woke up with a faint candle flame. Cui'er was fast asleep beside the bed, thinking about how Cui'er had stood with her all night long, while she was asleep, but Cui'er had to watch over her. This made her feel extremely apologetic, and she couldn't bear to wake her up, so she silently lay on the bed.
However, her stomach began to growl. Although the sound was weak, it still woke Cui Er up. Cui Er sat up, rubbing her eyes as she asked, "Miss, what time is it? We need to eat, right?"
"Well, it's getting dark."
"I'll go and tell the others to go have a meal."
Ruo Ruo lowered her head in embarrassment. It was all because of her stomach. She was actually making such a loud noise.
But Cui'er just turned around and came back, "Miss, hurry up and get dressed."
"What's wrong?" From Cui'er's appearance, it seemed as if someone important was coming.
"Oh, nothing." Cui'er smiled, her curved eyes making him feel as if she was hiding something from him.
This was the first time Cui'er had ever urged her to eat in a restaurant. "Miss, the imperial physician said that after seven days you can move freely, but you have to be careful not to make any noise or eat any cold food."
"Oh." Cui Er was the one taking care of everything for her. She hadn't walked for a few days, and this walk, although it wasn't a long one, made her a little dizzy.
