C63 getting the heart from me (2/2)

”Then I'll go back as well.” Shangguan Wan did not hesitate.

This was what Nangong Yu was waiting for. Although Nan Yan was safe now, if she accompanied him back, that would be for the best.

The Son of Heaven returning to court was naturally extremely busy. While dealing with the affairs of the court, he also wanted to discuss with Chu Jingli about a strategy to defend against the enemy. He stayed up all night, and his body was becoming thinner and thinner.

Shangguan Wan was also not in the mood to look for the Aral Dawn Wood, she had always been a good, quiet ”good wife and mother”.

”Your majesty, are you tired? Take a rest and drink some porridge.” Shangguan Wan sensibly brought over a bowl of her own porridge.

”Put it down. We'll drink it later.” He looked up and smiled, then turned back to his reading.

If it were the Shangguan Wan of the past, she would definitely grab the paper in his hands, throw it on the ground, step on it until it shattered, and then order at him, ”You give it to me! I won't forgive you if I don't drink! ”

Not now, she wanted to be well-mannered and generous. Although it was only temporary, it could still be considered a special change in a special situation.

”Mm. Then your majesty should pay attention to your body and rest early.” She blessed her body and withdrew.

In fact, she felt a little disappointed. She didn't blame him for neglecting her because of the imperial court. It was just that she wasn't used to it without his company.

She loved and hated him now, and the death of Rachel had planted a grudge against him in her heart, but he was a good husband to her.

In the middle of the night, she felt warmth around her, and when she opened her eyes to the moonlight, she saw him sleeping beside her.

He was too tired and slept soundly.

Sometimes, when a woman's maternal love was overflowing, it was really impossible to stop it.

She gently held him in her arms. The dignified seven foot man was curled up in her arms like a kitten.

This also showed that she was the only one who could subdue him, Nangong Yu.

When she opened her eyes the next morning, he was still there.

In the past, he often went to the royal study before dawn.

He was a good emperor. Everyone only knew how to be one, but they didn't see it. Being an emperor was also a very difficult job.

Especially for an emperor like Nangong Yu, it was even more difficult. He could have pushed many things to his subordinates, but he was afraid that without his supervision, others wouldn't treat him with caution. Thus, he could only sacrifice himself.

”Did the empress sleep well last night?” Nangong Yu asked with a smile.

Lin Zi came in and dressed him in a skilled manner.

Shangguan Wan rose from the bed. ”Your majesty sleeps well, so I sleep well.”

”Why is the Queen's mouth so sweet?” It was rare for him to have a few words with her when he was free.

Shangguan Wan curled her lips. Didn't they say she would put on an act of affection in front of others?

However, since Lin Lin was here, she changed the topic. ”How is the battle going?”

”Don't worry. The sky won't collapse even with Jing Li here.” Nangong Yu was quite confident in his good friend.

”I'll have to trouble the empress to fully supervise the bestowal of the empress dowager.”

Shangguan Wan nodded, ”Your concubine knows that the war is tight now, and the treasury's silver taels are to be used for the war, so you don't have to be too serious about this, or else we'll send someone to find out.”

Having been a queen for so long, she understood how to comply with the hearts of the people.

The more they were in danger, the more they could not be overtly known. Otherwise, what would the common people think?

”The empress is deeply in my heart indeed.”
