Ji Ling Xue's lips twitched, a girl chasing after a guy, but she had never seen such a daring woman, directly asking the emperor to bestow a marriage.

Xiao Yi Chen: "It's no longer early, rest early."

Ji Ling Xue looked up at Xiao Yi Chen, Xiao Yi Chen reached a hand out to her, wanting to pull her up.

Ji Ling Xue faltered for a moment, placing her hand into Xiao Yi Chen's palm, he grasped her hand tightly and pulled, Ji Ling Xue gently rouse, because of his strength, she fell into Xiao Yi Chen's arms directly, it was still the same familiar warmth, Ji Ling Xue lowered her eyes, quietly sensing her and his heartbeat.

"I'm sorry!" Ji Ling Xue's forehead was against Xiao Yi Chen's chest, saying stuffily.

Sorry, I only thought of my own feelings, I didn't think of yours. I'm sorry, I faked my death and left causing you to be heart-broken.

Xiao Yi Chen's chest moved up and down, Ji Ling Xue looked at him in confusion, why was he smiling, she was apologising, during such a serious time, what was funny about it?

Xiao Yi Chen returned to earnestly: "If you're apologising for letting Xiao Yi Mo escape, we said, we don't blame you, what's more we have already found Xiao Yi Mo, and nothing huge happened, it was no inconvenience, don't take it to heart either."

Ji Ling Xue lowered her head, "Not that..."

Xiao Yi Chen raised an eyebrow, could Ji Ling Xue be seriously apologising, it felt like the sun was rising in the west, it really was rare.

Xiao Yi Chen asked: "If you're not apologising for the matter of Xiao Yi Mo then for what, could you have done something else wrong against me?"

Ji Ling Xue's face turned black, Xiao Yi Chen was fishing from her.

Ji Ling Xue said: "Because I didn't tell you three months ago about leaving, and let you grieve."

Xiao Yi Chen cupped Ji Ling Xue's face, staring into her eyes, "Ji Ling Xue, tell me, how much of your heart do I occupy, am I as important as Ru Ge?"

Why was he mentioning Ru Ge again? This seemed to be a sore point for Xiao Yi Chen, her and Ru Ge had become sworn siblings, he knew this right?

Ji Ling Xue nodded, honestly saying: "You...are my husband!"

Xiao Yi Chen retracted his hand placing it on the hairpin in her hair, black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, his fingers passed through Ji Ling Xue's hair, his voice faint: "Are you speaking the truth?"

Ji Ling Xue nodded forcefully, the next moment her she was off her feet, Xiao Yi Chen picked her up and walked to the dragon couch inside, wind blew through the windows swirling up the long curtains touching the floor like waves in an ocean.

Xiao Yi Chen waved his long sleeve, the door behind them closed, the candles in the room also extinguished.

Ji Ling Xue felt an indescribable nervousness, her heart thumped and leapt, what was going to happen next?

While Ji Ling Xue let her imagination run wild, Xiao Yi Chen had carried her to the bed, the bedding were silk, a faint fragrance filled Ji Ling Xue's nose.

Xiao Yi Chen tugged on the belt around Ji Ling Xue's waist, smiling: "Should we go to bed early?"

Ji Ling Xue smiled: "Why do I feel like you're seducing me..." As she spoke she hugged Xiao Yi Chen's neck pulling his head down, kissing his cheek, "You taste the same as before."

A ruler of a country was being teased, Xiao Yi Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, of course he wasn't going to lose at the hands of a little girl, even though Ji Ling Xue's deception made him very angry, he still chose to forgive her, spoiling her as before.

Xiao Yi Chen lowered his head and kissed Ji Ling Xue's red lips, their lips tangled until the two struggled to breath and reluctantly parted.

Xiao Yi Chen said: "From now on no matter what, no matter what you do, you have to tell us, we are your husband, you need to remember this."

Ji Ling Xue nodded, "Then can you promise me, apart from me, you won't have any other woman."

Xiao Yi Chen lightly chuckled, "So you've been concerned about this all this time..."

Ji Ling Xue nodded, "I'm petty, I don't like sharing you with other women."

Xiao Yi Chen nodded, "Fine, we promise you."

Ji Ling Xue: "Then what about Yi Yun? Why is she still in your rear palace?" This criticising tone, was filled with jealousy, hearing it made him very comfortable.

Xiao Yi Chen said: "We forgot to tell you, yesterday we already had Chi Feng write an imperial decree, conferring the title of princess on Yi Yun, if Ru Yi hadn't said she wanted to marry Ru Ge, I had planned to marry Yi Yun to him."

Ji Ling Xue was stunned, she felt what Xiao Yi Chen had said before was true, before he had been under pressure by Xiao Yi Mo to take Yi Yun as a concubine, now Xiao Yi Mo wasn't emperor, he didn't need to worry about offending the emperor.

Ji Ling Xue felt at ease, she smiled at Xiao Yi Chen, "Yi Yun...has she agreed?"

She could tell Yi Yun really liked Xiao Yi Chen, so much so that even though she knew Xiao Yi Chen didn't like her, she still racked her brain to stay by his side, maybe Yi Yun was a little foolish, she felt if Ji Ling Xue and Ji Yu Qing weren't there, she would be able to stay by Xiao Yi Chen's side until his grief ended.

Xiao Yi Chen faintly smiled, "An imperial decree, how can she resist it."

Ji Ling Xue: "..."

Xiao Yi Chen said: "Enough, don't talk about other things, I want to hear about what happened these last few months, can you tell me?" A gentle Xiao Yi Chen, gentle tone, Ji Ling Xue's heart was light, unconsciously she complied with his words, telling him what happened since she faked her death. 

The sky gradually brightened, Ji Ling Xue was sleeping in Xiao Yi Chen's arms, having spoken for a night her lips were slightly dry, she licked her lips, raising her head she saw Xiao Yi Chen look at her with closed eyes, "Emperor...husband...ah Chen...are you asleep?"

"En?" Xiao Yi Chen gave an en, opening his eyes, his black as a pit eyes weren't sleepy at all.

Ji Ling Xue chuckled: "Then...your majesty you haven't slept yet, it's almost day,  you should take a nap before morning court..."

Xiao Yi Chen's lips twitched, the next moment he pinched Ji Ling Xue's chin and stared into her eyes, "Just now, what did you call us?"

Ji Ling Xue rolled her eyes, Xiao Yi Chen seemed very happy, he wasn't angry, she saved Ru Ge because they were sworn siblings, Ru Ge had also treated her well, wasn't it usual to help each other during calamities, Xiao Yi Chen shouldn't be angry because of this right.

Ji Ling Xue lovably said: "Emperor."

Xiao Yi Chen shook his head, "Not that."

Ji Ling Xue: "Ah Chen." She had never called Xiao Yi Chen so sickly before, before she always called him "prince".

Xiao Yi Chen still shook his head, not satisfied with this title.

Ji Ling Xue cautiously said: "Hus..husband?!"

Xiao Yi Chen nodded, "En." He lowered his head kissing her forehead, "Call me that a few more times, I like hearing it."

Ji Ling Xue, "..."

Xiao Yi Chen's face was placed against the top of Ji Ling Xue's head, "There won't be a next time."

"Ah?" Ji Ling Xue blinked, such an incomplete sentence, what was he saying?

"This is the last time you worry about another man apart from us, even if he's your sworn brother." Xiao Yi Chen said in an overbearing manner.

Ji Ling Xue: The atmosphere has soured again! She owned Ru Ge a favour, Ru Ge was the first to save her when she was kidnapped by the pervert Yuchi Ru Gong, she would remember this.

Xiao Yi Chen then suddenly said: "That day we were attacked by assassins, Ru Ge happened to save us, he has also shown favour to us, if you go to him again, that favour will disappear, oh right, that day did you come because you were worried about Ru Ge?"

Ji Ling Xue looked at Xiao Yi Chen loss for words, was that question so important?

Ji Ling Xue said: "Actually I..."

Xiao Yi Chen broke off Ji Ling Xue, "You were worried we would be hurt by those assassins?"

Ji Ling Xue nodded, she remembered she thought if something happened to Xiao Yi Chen, she should go and see his body, of course she couldn't tell Xiao Yi Chen this.

Xiao Yi Chen smiled, the haze on his face disappeared quite a bit, because Ji Ling Xue had him in her heart he was a lot happier.

Ji Ling Xue yawned: "I'm so tired..."

Having spoken for a night, she was both tired and sleepy, spare her, let her sleep?

Xiao Yi Chen patted Ji Ling Xue's back: "Sleep."

Ji Ling Xue closed her eyes, shrinking into Xiao Yi Chen's arms, with a few breaths she was asleep.

Xiao Yi Chen muttered: "Ji Ling Xue, it's good you returned to our side..."

Ji Ling Xue hadn't slept for long, the noise from the door of Chenhua palace startled her awake.

"Mistress, are you awake." Mo Xiang stood at her bed smiling in palace maid's clothing.

Ji Ling Xue shot up, holding Mo Xiang's hand, eyes filled with surprise, "Mo Xiang, why are you here, I can finally see you're safe and sound."

Mo Xiang nodded, "His majesty let me come and serve mistress, this servant is also very happy."

"You servants, did you not hear what I just said?"

"Princess, the empress is resting, please don't shout!"

Ji Ling Xue wanted to properly catch up with Mo Xiang but frowned, "What's happening outside?"

Mo Xiang replied: "It's princess Yi Yun, the former concubine Yun."

Ji Ling Xue nodded, "Help me get dress, let's go see her."

Mo Xiang nodded, helping Ji Ling Xue out of bed.

Yi Yun stood outside Chenhua palace's doors being stopped from entering by two eunuchs, she had gotten Ling Lan to cause a fuss, she didn't think the person inside would be able to continue to sleep, she really didn't have her in her eyes since becoming empress, she hadn't come to see her at all.

The palace doors opened, Ji Ling Xue stood at the door wearing a gold palace robe, Yi Yun raised her head at Ji Ling Xue, her hands tightened into fists, but she forced herself to smile: "Greetings older sister empress."

Ji Ling Xue put on a fake smile: "Mo Xiang, this empress's younger sister passed away three months ago, I wonder where I have another sister."

Yi Yun gritted her teeth, she was the princess conferred by the emperor, even so she could still greet Ji Ling Xue as "older sister" like before, but their relationship was a lot further apart.

Yi Yun used a handkerchief to wipe her tears in grief, "Empress sister doesn't like Yi Yun?"

Ji Ling Xue smiled, "Enter, don't stand there to speak." She turned and entered the room.

Yi Yun gave a greeting and entered with the support of Ling Lan, Mo Xiang closed the doors.

Yi Yun looked at Ji Ling Xue sitting behind the table drinking tea, "Older sister returning to the palace safe and sound, it's really wonderful, Yi Yun is happy for the empress and emperor to reunite."

Ji Ling Xue said: "Yi Yun, still pretending in front of me, aren't you tired?"

Yi Yun's face stiffened, looking at Ji Ling Xue strangely, "What does the empress mean?"
