Chapter Fifteen: Holding Her As She Falls Asleep (2)

  Opened eyes and woke up, it's almost noon again!

  Xiatong stretched and yawned: Since crossing over and moving into the Luliu Pavilion, for the first time he had a solid night's sleep without any dreams, sweet and intoxicating.

  This made Xia Tong feel somewhat surprised!

  Last night she vaguely remembered herself sitting in the room?

  What a surprise! On his intact undergarment, the light quilt still lingered with the faint scent of wine and his breath.

  Not a dream!

  Turned around to look at the side, it's empty, he has left!

  Xia Tong let out a breath, and in an instant, he felt a warmth in his heart, but also a little loss, just like the empty half of the bed beside him, making it hard for people to be certain.

  "Princess!"

  Qing Lai knocked on the door and walked in with a basin of water, beaming with joy. She was already used to Xia Tong's habit of not getting out of bed until the sun was high in the sky!

  Xiatong got up and opened her arms, letting Qingli help her dress.

  "Green leave."

  "Hmm!" Qing Li responded with a single word without even lifting his head.

  "Prince Wang... when did he leave?" Taking a deep breath, Xia Tong tried to make her voice sound as if she wasn't asking on purpose.

  "Ah!" Qingli raised her head in surprise, looking at her with curved eyebrows and eyes. "The king left this morning and instructed me to dress you up nicely tonight!" Qingli said with a sly smile, pausing for a moment before continuing, "The king said there's a banquet in the palace tonight and he wants the princess to attend with him!"

  "Oh!" Xia Tong lazily responded with a soft voice: "Can't I just not participate?"

  Qing Lian was taken aback and stared at her in shock.

  "Has the Lirien ambassador arrived? Aren't you attending?" A cold voice suddenly came from behind, startling Xia Tong.

  "Your Highness!" Qing Li bowed and took a glance at Xia Tong before tactfully withdrawing.

  Turning around, Mu Bei's mouth corner hung a cold smile, walking close to her and whispering: "Do you want to die?"

  Hah! He's threatening himself again, but...

  Xia Tong smiled and looked at him: "For a woman who doesn't listen and doesn't want to pretend, if someone had replaced me, the king would have had me killed long ago!"

  These days, she finally understood a truth: it's easy to find someone, but finding someone who looks exactly the same and is about the same age isn't that easy!

  For a moment, Mu Bei Chen gazed at her, then suddenly sneered with a smile: "It seems that my imperial concubine is not stupid after all?"

  A gloominess suddenly rose in her heart, and she seemed to have been foolish for a long time, only realizing it now.

  He reached out, and Mu Bei Chen easily caught her chin, lifting it forcefully. His eyes, filled with a hint of warning, said: "Remember this, if I want to make Princess Liu Li disappear from this world, that would also be an easy thing to do!" With that, he walked away calmly, as if he had just passed by and happened to remember to remind her of this.

  Was it him, the one with a helpless gaze and a lonely figure last night?

  Xia Tong looked at the gradually disappearing figure with a puzzled expression, and couldn't find any remaining trace of last night!
