Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

Chapter 37
Murong Jiu thought that Jun Yuyan would go back soon after taking a bath.

Unexpectedly, he sat by the window and read for a while, then stood up and said, "It's getting late, let's take a rest."

At this time, Murong Jiu thought he was about to leave, so he quickly got up to see him off.

Unexpectedly, Jun Yuyan turned around and walked towards her bed. Before she could react, the tall figure was already lying on it, and the soft quilt sank in.

She rolled her eyes.

Several times before, Jun Yuyan just sat in her room for half an hour and then left. Why did he actually sleep here today?
"My lord..."

she asked quietly.

"My roof is leaking."

Jun Yuyan made an excuse, but after saying it, he felt that this excuse was too lame.

But Murong Jiu didn't think much about it, "I see, it's been raining for so long, I guess the roofs of many people's homes are leaking."

He said "hmm" and said, "When the rain stops, let Butler Lin invite the craftsmen."

In this way, I can stay with her for a few more days.

He didn't have any other charming thoughts. Before Murong Jiu, he had never touched a woman. Those grown men in the military camp who needed relief would go to the nearest city to find women. He turned a blind eye to this, but He himself has always kept himself clean.

He stayed because he just wanted to know what Murong Jiu was thinking.

"This rain will continue to fall for several days."

Murong Jiu said something and found a new quilt from the closet.

"Your Majesty, this quilt was washed just before it rained. Please cover it."

Murong Jiu was really not used to sharing the same bed. Of course, she didn't think Jun Yuyan would want to take advantage of her or anything. She was worried that Jun Yuyan would feel uncomfortable.

This was his yard originally. It was because of his arrival that he moved to the leaky little yard. He was the one who occupied his place.

After putting down the quilt, she went to wash up.

When I came back, I saw Jun Yuyan covered with a new quilt, lying on the outside with his eyes closed, wondering if he was asleep.

Afraid of disturbing him, Murong Jiu carefully blew out the candle and went to bed in the dark.

Even though Jun Yuyan was too big, she had already paid close attention to it, but she still accidentally stepped on his leg.

She was a little unsteady and almost fell off the bed, but someone suddenly held her waist.

She quickly asked: "My lord, is it hurt? Did I step on your injured leg?"

"It doesn't hurt."

Jun Yuyan's voice was a little hoarse, and his hands quickly retracted from her waist.

Although it had been raining for seven or eight days in a row, the temperature was not cold. Murong Jiu was only wearing a thin undershirt. His hands seemed to have touched her slender waist through the clothes, which made him think of that night involuntarily. .

He also smelled the faint fragrance of Murong Jiu, as if coming from her skin.

He had smelled it while lying in bed, but it was only when he was near her that the scent became vivid.

At this moment, he was already [-]% sure in his heart that Murong Jiu was the woman who was with him that night.

Whether it was the aroma that could be smelled sometimes but not at other times, or the feel of her waist, it stimulated his memory to come back.

Murong Jiu lay down next to him. The two of them were covered with quilts. The atmosphere was quiet. Murong Jiu breathed softly on purpose to avoid disturbing him while sleeping.

This was her first time sleeping with a man.

Not counting the time more than a month ago, she was so tortured by the man that she didn't fall asleep at all.

She was a little nervous for no reason. She closed her eyes and didn't feel sleepy at all.

Jun Yuyan didn't speak either. He was afraid that when he spoke, his low and hoarse voice would offend Murong Jiu and make him feel offended.The two of them just lay on the bed, neither of them moving.

Perhaps it was due to the drowsiness due to pregnancy, plus a tiring day today, Murong Jiu felt sleepy unknowingly, and soon the sound of even breathing could be heard.

Jun Yuyan opened his eyes in the darkness, turned slightly sideways, and looked at Murong Jiu in the dim night light.

The side of her face was the side without the birthmark, with a straight nose, full lips, and fine eyelashes, like a sleeping fairy.

The large black birthmark obscured her original appearance.

If there was no birthmark, Jun Yuyan could only imagine how beautiful she would be.

That's fine, no other man will covet her.

Jun Yuyan didn't care what the woman looked like. He only knew that he had been attracted to this woman that night more than a month ago.

During these days in the palace, he couldn't help but pay attention to Murong Jiu and was curious about her secrets.

When he knew that she was the one he was looking for, he actually felt lucky in his heart.

Murong Jiu had a good sleep.

She slept until dawn.

This was the most comfortable sleep she had ever had since her rebirth. She had no nightmares or was awakened. It was the first time she slept until she woke up naturally.

"Miss, you are awake!"

Chuntao opened the curtain and came in, looking very happy.

"What's so happy about it?"

Seeing her smile, Murong Jiu smiled unconsciously.

Chuntao said happily: "There is a new cook in the palace. I heard that he is the chef of Zuixian Tower! I think the prince brought him here because he saw that you always have a bad appetite!"

Murong Jiu looked slightly startled, and then she remembered that Jun Yuyan slept with her last night, but she didn't even know when he got up.

I don't know how I slept last night or whether it disturbed his sleep.

"Don't talk nonsense, the dishes from Zuixianlou must be to the prince's liking, so he dug them out in the future."

"My slave is not talking nonsense. Otherwise, why would Eunuch Shi hurriedly bring pickles from outside for you to eat last night? It's because the prince cares about you."

After Chuntao said this, Murong Jiu also discovered that Jun Yuyan was indeed very kind to her.

However, he should be the one who treated his scars and legs, and he was just reciprocating the favor.

He is a gentleman, so naturally he is not as ignorant of repayment as Jun Haoze.

"When did the prince leave?"

she asked.

"I left at dawn. At that time, a guard came over. It seemed that something happened. The prince left in a hurry."

She couldn't help but ask: "The prince has left the palace? Hasn't he come back yet?"

"Yes, miss, what would you like to eat in the morning? The new chef has made several kinds of breakfast today."

Murong Jiu had no appetite. She was a little worried about Jun Yuyan. What happened, would he leave the house in a hurry?
She felt as if she had forgotten something important.

"You should eat something. You have lost weight these days. Also, miss, don't go out as usual today. I heard that when the city gate was opened today, a lot of refugees came in and it was very chaotic."

Chuntao's words reminded Murong Jiu of something important in the blink of an eye.

Her expression suddenly changed and she said quickly: "Chuntao, please let the guards in quickly. I want them to go to the prince and send him a message!"
