This queen is not too curly

Behind the gauze curtain, Yan Yuan lay quietly on the bed.

Chen Ling stared at her for a long time, finally stood up, opened the gauze curtain and walked in.Anyway, this was originally his bedroom, but now it's just occupied by people.

He walked to the edge of the bed, but he didn't sit on the edge of the bed. Instead, he swept away the objects on the cabinet next to the bed, and then sat on it.

People with insomnia don't like beds.

Chen Lingchen couldn't remember how long he hadn't touched the bed, and now Yan Yuan was lying on his dragon bed, and he didn't know if she was in a coma or in a deep sleep, but she looked much more pleasing to the eye than when she was awake .

Chen Ling looked at her deeply.

Sure enough, the restlessness in his chest subsided a little bit.

Chen Ling raised his hand and glanced at his wrist, the muscles on it stopped jumping, and the blood in the blue-purple blood vessels flowed quietly, as if a war had come to an end.

All is quiet.

Is it because of... her?
Chen Ling raised his head and glanced at Yan Yuan.

He didn't want to admit that this was the effect she brought, but right now there seemed to be no better explanation.So he summoned the palace people and ordered them to move the imperial concubine couch from the outer room to the inner room.

The palace people quickly readjusted the layout. They moved the imperial concubine's bed to a place more than ten steps away from the dragon bed, and moved the tea table to the inner room along the way, and offered cakes and tea breaks, and some idle books.

Chen Ling nodded deeply, very satisfied.

The consul maid hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, it's better to let the young ones come over for things like guarding at night."

Chen Ling raised his head heavily.

The consul lady bit her bullet and said: "Doctor Luo said that the empress may have a fever in the middle of the night, and she needs to touch her forehead every once in a while..."

Originally, it would be good to visit once every half an hour, but now that the emperor is sleeping peacefully inside, who dares to come in and disturb him?The last slave who disturbed Shengshang Qingmeng was still kneeling on the washboard in the clothes department!
The consul maid said: "To prevent the empress from getting sick, the servants will come in every half an hour, so that your majesty's rest will be disturbed..."

So you better go now!

She bent down and knelt on the ground, thinking that the emperor would leave just then, but she didn't expect that the emperor not only did not retreat in spite of the difficulties, but instead sent her away.

"You go out, come alone to watch the night."

"……Yes."

The consul maid exited the bedroom.

She glanced inside before closing the door.

In the glowing candlelight, the Empress Empress was sleeping peacefully on the bed, and Chen Ling who was not far away was leaning heavily on the bed, quietly closing her eyes.

He is like a wild beast squatting in a cave, guarding his prey.

It's a weird picture.

At least it never happened in the Qianzheng Palace.

Although the current Holy Majesty is famous for being violent, he is not keen on sensuality. Up to now, no concubine has ever stayed overnight in the Qianzheng Hall, let alone personally guarding the night.

Even that noble concubine has never received such special treatment from His Majesty.

Could it be that the empress is really caused by the golden city, and the golden stone is opened?

……

In the middle of the night, the light of the candles flickered.

The heat from the stove penetrated through the gauze curtain and soaked into the bedside, bringing the long-lost warmth.

The dream came unexpectedly.

Yan Yuan felt comfortable all over her body, she had been cold for too long, she just wanted to have a good sleep, sleep until the sky was dark, sleep until the sun and moon were dark, she didn't want to worry about anything.

However, there was a voice still ringing in his ears.

"Ning Bai."

Yan Yuan barely opened a slit of her eyes.

In front of her was the white snow, a bonfire, and a teenager sitting beside the bonfire.

The young man was staring in her direction with a pair of lifeless eyes.

Yan Yuan asked sleepily, "...what's the matter?"

The boy's eyelashes drooped slightly: "It's nothing."

The voice was very indifferent.

Yan Yuan: "..."

Nothing called a ghost ah?
After finally finding a naturally hidden and dry cave, shouldn't we take the opportunity to sleep well?

Yan Yuan didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Tonight is already the fifth night she has escaped with this burden, her whole body is extremely sleepy, every pore on her body is clamoring for sleep, of course she chooses to ignore him.

Yan Yuan resolutely turned over and continued to sleep.

Her consciousness gradually sank, and she was about to have intimate contact with Duke Zhou, when suddenly, there was another strange noise beside her.

The cool voice sounded again: "Ning Bai."

Yan Yuan didn't want to talk to him at all.

She just pretended not to hear.

After a while, there was another rustling sound beside the fire.

Yan Yuan couldn't bear it anymore and opened her eyes.

In the snow, Chen Lingchen had already stood up.

He was obviously not sure of the direction, and he couldn't see where she was sleeping, so he picked up a dead wood branch from his hand, and approached in the direction of her precariously.

The dead wood branch was obviously picked up from a firewood pile, and the top had already been ignited. Even though it was stuck in the snow several times, the spark was not completely extinguished.

Chen Ling leaned forward and said, "Ning Bai."

The dead wood branches passed over Yan Yuan's head, and the soot fell on Yan Yuan's eyelashes.

Yan Yuan: "..."

Chen Ling couldn't hear the sound, and a trace of anger had already appeared on his face: "Ning..."

Yan Yuan couldn't take it anymore: "Shut up!"

She was so angry that she grabbed Chen Lingchen by the collar, dragged him to the innermost part of the cave, and placed him on the hay.

She yelled at him: "Don't move! Don't make a sound! Sleep!"

Chen Ling couldn't see with Shen's eyes, and his chest heaved violently.

After a moment, he was quiet again.

He stretched out his hands to adjust the hay under his body, then raised his head and said, "It's cold alone."

His eyes were empty.

The slow and leisurely voice seemed natural.

Yan Yuan: "..."

Yan Yuan suppressed the anger in her heart.

The position he was in now was indeed a little far away from the bonfire, so it was inevitable to be cold.But with his habit of being a night owl, she would not dare to let him sleep on the outside, it would be bad if he accidentally ran away.

Yan Yuan got up and looked around, and soon found the target.

That unlucky rabbit.

She picked up the rabbit and threw it into Chen Lingchen's arms.

"Hold."

Chen Lingchen took the rabbit, hugged it and sat upright on the hay, with three thousand hairs hanging softly by his side, looking gentle and well-behaved.

Yan Yuan looked at his obedient appearance, and the anger in her chest dissipated a little.

She said to him patiently: "I need to sleep, please stop arguing."

Before she finished speaking, there was a whistling sound from outside the cave.

The sound should be cold wind, but there seems to be a sinister laughter in the wind, like a madman laughing not far away, or like a heartbroken person whimpering and crying in the wind.

Chen Ling took a deep breath.

Yan Yuan followed the voice and looked out.

She knew that the thing making the sound was a kind of ape.There are many kinds of apes in the snowfield, and there is one that hunts at night, and it makes human-like laughter in groups, which sounds really creepy.

This thing is just bluffing, and there is no danger.

Yan Yuan was about to explain to Chen Lingchen, but when she turned her head and saw his widened eyes and stiff expression, she immediately changed her mind.

"That's a mandrill."

Yan Yuan said in a low tone:

"I heard that they are refined and enchanted, and they are eaten only by high-ranking officials and nobles with delicate skin and tender meat. Eating one can improve their cultivation for ten years. When they eat a hundred people, they will make human-like laughter. .”

"You'd better sleep in it tonight, it's safer."

"They have poor eyesight but excellent ears, so try not to make any noise."

It's best to just keep your mouth shut overnight.

That way everyone can get a good night's sleep.

Of course, Yan Yuan didn't dare to speak her heart out. In order to make her story more realistic, she grabbed a handful of hay and put it on Chen Lingchen's body.

"Your Majesty, please hide."

"..."

God seems to be verifying Yan Yuan's words.

As soon as her words fell, the wind noise outside stopped, and those weird laughter came from far to near, as if hordes of monsters were about to approach.

Chen Ling frowned deeply.

Of course, he didn't believe in such a strange and chaotic statement.

but……

Those voices are real.

The laughter was crazy and sharp, and every sound hit his ears, reminding him of some past memories.Those unbearable memories were like cold fingers strangling his neck, making him sweat all over and unable to breathe.

He struggled in the dark, fingertips grabbing the dry grass beneath him.

Shortness of breath.

Chaos and panic.

"Then...why are you sleeping outside?"

Chen Ling asked Yan Yuan in a cold voice.

He didn't really have doubts, it was just that his eyes couldn't see, those memories flashed before his eyes like nightmares, and he desperately needed someone to interrupt them.

Suddenly, something lightly landed on his forehead.

The turmoil in front of him stopped abruptly.

The whole world suddenly fell silent.

Chen Ling sat stiffly on the spot, unable to believe that those nightmares just disappeared like this.

……how come?
That was a dry grass.

It landed lightly on top of Chen Lingchen's head.

The owner of the hay was standing beside him, holding the other end of the hay in his hand, with a smile on his mouth, leaning forward and talking lazily in his ear.

"Because I have no money."

"Rough skin and rough meat, mandrills don't like to eat."

Yan Yuan smiled and looked at the young man in front of her.

His face was blue, he was indeed a pampered rich man, and a soft waste.

She put the last straw on his head, and ran to the fire, and lay down in peace.The warm bonfire was burning brightly, and after a while Yan Yuan gradually fell into a dark and sweet dreamland.

It's a pity that the good dreams don't last long.

The cool voice sounded again.

"Ning Bai."

"..."

"wake up."

"..."

"Gu ordered you not to sleep."

"..."

Yan Yuan opened her eyes violently, gasping heavily from her nostrils.

On the fifth night of Xue Yuan's rescue, she suddenly discovered that the biggest danger around the emperor was not from the assassin, but from herself.

She was going crazy.

She still wants to kill the king! ! !
"rather……"

Yan Yuan sat up angrily.

She walked slowly to Chen Lingchen's side, picked up his skirt skillfully, and said through gritted teeth, "I dragged you for a whole day, and I'm very tired now. I need to rest. If I don't rest, I will Die, do you understand?"

Chen Lingchen struggled symbolically, and soon lay down obediently.

He lay quietly on the hay, staring blankly into the void.

"Gu did not let you rest."

He blinked, and his voice was as calm as water: "Gu just told you not to fall asleep."

Yan Yuan: "..."

Yan Yuan: "..."

The last string snapped.

Yan Yuan only felt a bang in her mind, and the blood in her whole body seemed to rush to the top of her head. She couldn't suppress her emotions anymore, and grabbed him by the skirt of his clothes and picked him up from the hay.

"How can I rest if I don't sleep!!"

"You have the ability to tell the mandrills outside, tell them not to sleep!"

"Chu, let me tell you, if I die here, you don't even want to get out of the snowfield!"

"You just wait to rot and die here! Your bones have been eaten away by wild beasts! Go to the underworld and be your king!"

She was already frantic to the extreme, and she forgot to lower her voice, and she didn't even notice that her roar changed its tone in the end, becoming sharp and slender.

Chen Ling was slightly taken aback.

In the silence, the breathing of the two intertwined.

Yan Yuan's heartbeat is still very fast, but her emotions have gradually recovered.

The current situation is actually a bit embarrassing, the current emperor's collar was pulled apart by hers, her finger bones touched a bit of his inner skin, and the fingertips felt cold and smooth.

Yan Yuan was stunned.

Chen Lingchen slowly lowered his eyelids, revealing his docile forehead.

"..."
