Bai Yixuan did not reject her, her expression did not reveal any clues, and Xiao Shunzi heaved a sigh of relief. Bai Yixuan signalled for Xiao Shunzi to push open the door, and at the same time, Xiao Shunzi understood the situation between men and women, so he did not report it.
Once she was in the palace, Bai Yixuan had an epiphany, and knew that Mu Yefan was doing it on purpose, and was playing some tricks on him now, but Bai Yixuan did not mind. She did not believe that Mu Yefan would really imprison her here, and whether she was leaving or deciding whether she wanted her to leave or not.
Mu Yefan was indeed sitting in the inner room, currently reading the imperial reports. Previously when he was watching TV, there was a table full of memorials, but it seemed like it was not all empty. Mu Yefan's workload seemed to be huge.
Hearing the noise, Mu Yefan raised his head, a look of disbelief seemed to be in his eyes, followed by wild joy, and Bai Yixuan had indeed seen it, these few years that she had not seen Mu Yefan, Mu Yefan looked even thinner, and it seemed like Mu Beiche and Xiao Shunzi were not completely deceiving him, and she also did not know how the emperor could make his body worse.
"Xiao Bai, you're here."
Mu Yefan quickly ran over, but Bai Yixuan did not move, she only stood at her original spot and looked at Mu Yefan, slowly raising the corner of her lips.
"Your majesty, can you be a bit more dignified?" Bai Yixuan laughed because of him. Perhaps it was because she was thin, but Mu Yefan still did not have the bloodlust that comes from killing those who were in power. Instead, she was still that simple youth from the very beginning.
Like an immortal, her black hair was loose, and she wore a black gown with golden threads.
"What is dignity? As long as I can meet Xiao Bai, everything that I have will vanish into thin air. "
"So you lied to me and said you were sick."
"I am indeed sick." Mu Yefan's eyes were blazing hot, as if she wanted to melt Bai Yixuan. This kind of emotion rarely appeared in Mu Yefan's eyes before, and it looked as if she had changed completely. However, Bai Yixuan knew that this was only a longing for him.
"Your Majesty, then Folk Girl will look after your illness."
"Don't call me your majesty."
"A Mu, A Mu, A Mu, it should be enough, right?" However, Bai Yixuan knew that he was truly happy, for him to be able to see so many expressions on Mu Yefan's face in one day was actually quite impressive.
"Xiao Bai, I really miss you, really."
"I do."
"Then why didn't you come back?"
"What are you doing back here? Are you going to be a palace maid?" Bai Yixuan laughed as she pulled Mu Yefan in to lie down, then began to feel Mu Yefan's pulse. Although she only saw that Mu Yefan had lost weight on the outside, it was only after Bai Yixuan checked his pulse did she realize that Mu Yefan was truly sick.
Mu Yefan's stomach was in a mess, he did not know what he had experienced in this period of time that made him feel even worse.
"A Mu, have you not eaten recently?"
Mu Yefan thought about it, "Eat."
"What do you eat?"
Mu Yefan thought about it a little longer this time, "There's still wine and porridge, and …"
He couldn't say it out loud, and it wasn't that Mu Yefan didn't want to eat it, it was just that Mu Yefan was unable to continue eating it. In the beginning, the imperial kitchen had always cooked such a big dish that Mu Yefan couldn't even eat a single mouthful of it, yet these light dishes were only made later on.
For the rest of the time, Mu Yefan did indeed drink a lot, all he drank was the wine that Bai Yixuan brewed. While drinking, he would feel calm and tranquil, and would not think about anything else.
"Mu Yefan, you really are, are you the emperor or are you a criminal? I've never seen you like this, I really admire you."
Mu Yefan laughed a little embarrassedly, "Actually, it's not a serious disease."
Bai Yixuan sighed, "You are truly magnanimous, as expected of the emperor. As for us small citizens, we aren't as magnanimous as the emperor."
Mu Yefan did not mind Bai Yixuan's ridicule, as though he was extremely happy to see Bai Yixuan. However, Bai Yixuan's attention was obviously not here, but was thinking about what kind of medicinal formula she should give Mu Yefan, which Bai Yixuan felt that it would be a mistake to come back this time, but if she did not return, he did not know what to do with Mu Yefan's body.
With a sigh, Bai Yixuan put Mu Yefan's hand down, and said, "A Mu, your stomach, it's very serious now, so you have to be careful when you eat food in the future. Congee can naturally be eaten from food, but don't drink that wine, it's bad for the body."
"Alright." Mu Yefan promised, "As long as you stay here to accompany me, I don't need any wine at all."
"What do you mean?" Bai Yixuan did not understand.
"You've already made me drunk."
Bai Yixuan still felt that Mu Yefan had changed. Previously, at least she would not say such flashy things, but now that she said it, Bai Yixuan did not know whether to laugh or cry, "Who taught you that?"
Mu Yefan was startled, "Is what I said wrong?"
"There must be someone who taught you. Say it, did Mu Beiche teach you? There must be …"
Mu Yefan shook his head, "Qianqian taught me this. She said that all girls like this?"
"So it's Qianqian, this little girl, she hasn't figured out her own problem yet and she's already here to teach you."
"Then what should I say? Xiao Bai, I only wanted you to stay, to truly be my woman. Xiao Bai, I truly missed you." Mu Yefan carried Bai Yixuan in her arms and smelled the fragrance off Mu Yefan's body. It was the sachet that she had prepared for Mu Yefan earlier, but she didn't think that Mu Yefan would actually still have it on him.
Bai Yixuan didn't know how to describe her feelings since she had traveled so far from the Bai Yi Town to the capital and yet she hadn't thrown away this thing even after so long.
"A Mu, I missed you too."
"Will you stay behind for me?" Mu Yefan's voice was similar to bewitching, Bai Yixuan sniffed Mu Yefan's body and did not answer the question.
"A Mu, have you still not slept well recently?"
"I often dream at night."
"Are they still being chased after?" Bai Yixuan asked.
Mu Yefan shook his head. Bai Yixuan could feel that Mu Yefan had whispered something into his ear, and it sounded like she was sighing, there was even a trace of grievance imperceptible on her face, the hot air she was exhaling caused Bai Yixuan's heart to race, who knew when Mu Yefan had become such a flirtatious person.
"I dreamt that we were all at Bai Yi Town, that you were going to cook for me, that we were going to hunt together, that we were going to experience all sorts of strange things …"
"A Mu..."
"That was really good then. I don't need to worry about anything. I was very happy as long as I could see you, but at that time, I felt very inferior. I've never seen a girl more beautiful than you, yet there was such an ugly scar on my face."
"I, Bai Yixuan, am such a shallow person, how could I care about that kind of thing."
"I know you don't care, but I do."
"Alright, stop thinking about what happened earlier. I'm even ashamed of myself now."
Mu Yefan did not speak, the two just quietly hugged, Mu Yefan's inner room was not lit up with any light, it was so dark that one could not see the emotions, but on the contrary, it was almost engulfed by darkness.
"Xiao Bai. Will you stay behind for me? "
Mubai's brothel was brightly lit.
Xiao Ziyi and Mu Beiche sat together drinking, Qin Hai had long been the big boss here, and seeing the two of them, he had dealt with them easily. Bai Yixuan had not come back, so she put in all her effort to manage the Mubai's brothel.
Bai Yixuan drove her Mubai's brothel across the entire continent. The capital, as the first family, made Qin Hai feel extremely satisfied and proud.
"Xiao Bai is back." Mu Beiche said in a provocative tone. Xiao Ziyi felt it was funny.
"You tricked her back?"
Mu Beiche was enraged, "What do you mean I tricked you into coming back?"
"You and Xiao Bai didn't speak of it. The emperor is very sick, and although the emperor doesn't like to eat, he shouldn't be so sick."
"So what? Xiao Bai originally liked the Royal Brother, but now that he's back, it means that he cares about the Royal Brother."
"When did I ever say that Xiao Bai didn't care about the emperor? What she cared about the most was the emperor, and that can't be changed."
Mu Beiche waved his hand, "It looks like you're thinking very clearly, you gave Xiao Bai the letter. It can be considered that you have foresight, Bai Yixuan will definitely stay behind for the Royal Brother."
"Bei Che, for such a long time, you actually haven't found out what kind of person Xiao Bai is. She does indeed love Your Majesty, but there's something more important in her heart than love, and it's not something these feelings can tie her down."
"What do you mean?"
"Do you know why Xiao Bai married me? It's not that I made Xiao Bai compromise, but Xiao Bai compromise. If you want to be together with Xiao Bai, it's definitely not Xiao Bai compromise, but the other party compromise. Unless the emperor truly compromises, he will definitely not be able to hold Bai Yixuan back."
"Are you so sure that there's some sort of trick between you and Xiao Bai?"
Xiao Ziyi laughed bitterly, "What other tricks do I have? Xiao Bai's own considerations are not something that we can stop, so you shouldn't bother with this matter, it's just a matter of course.
"Xiao Bai is indeed different from all the girls I have seen. I wonder what exactly does Xiao Bai want?"
"What she wants is very simple. It's the love of a lifetime."
"Two people, for life?"
"Just a single wife. As for a lifetime, that's because Xiao Bai has promised me his next life."
Mu Beiche did not know how shameless Xiao Ziyi actually was. In an instant, he did not know what to say, and the expression on his face changed as he looked at Xiao Ziyi, "You are truly different from when you were young. You can even say something as shameless as this in your next life?"
"Why not?" Xiao Ziyi laughed, "You're still too inexperienced."
"Do you know who you're talking to?" Mu Beiche was furious.
"I know, Your Highness. I've known you for so many years. How could I not know?"
"Alright, Xiao Ziyi. This King must drink you up today."
Xiao Ziyi did not refuse, "It's too easy to drink me.
Mu Beiche was indeed a little annoyed because of Mu Yefan killing royal father back then. Xiao Ziyi was naturally because of Bai Yixuan, so the two of them being together like this was a good thing, and it saved them the trouble of talking about this.
