Sun Qingya was startled by his sudden voice. As soon as she loosened her grip, the book fell to the ground.
She turned around and found that Xiao Langyan had walked over quickly with a calm expression.
He bent down to pick up the book and gently patted the dust on it. The look of extra care made Sun Qingya feel dazed for a moment.
Why does the emperor treasure this book so much? Could it be a book he had practiced since he was a child?
But Sun Qingya had long been attracted to Xiao Langyan and had seen his handwriting, which was nothing like this.
She came to her senses and quickly admitted her mistake: "I didn't know it was the emperor's treasure. I almost damaged it. Please punish me."
Xiao Langyan has put the book back on the bookshelf. His face is stern, his expression is majestic, and his deep thin eyes make it impossible to see a trace of emotion. It is like a layer of cold mist shrouding people around him, so that everyone around him can feel him. Aloof and inaccessible.
"I don't blame you this time. I just have to be careful. Everything I collect is a unique copy." His voice changed from the initial calmness to a cold and indifferent tone.
Sun Qingya looked helpless and lowered her head. She no longer had the lively smile she had just now.
After a while, she left the palace and went home.
Xiao Langyan also left the library, and Xu Shou followed him and asked: "Your Majesty, don't you still want to keep Miss Sun San in the palace for dinner? The meal is ready, but she left, this..."
Xiao Langyan sat on the dragon chariot and pinched his eyebrows irritably.
He should be nice to Sun Qingya, at least let her know that he cares about the Sun family.
However, since the day he knew that Shen Dingzhu didn't care, he seemed to have lost control of all his emotions.
Whenever anything involves Shen Dingzhu, he will always put aside the weighing of interests, suddenly forget his own identity, and blindly fight and complain about his weight in her heart.
"I'm really obsessed." Xiao Langyan closed his thin eyes tightly, his handsome face looked painful and irritable.
He knew something was wrong, and Shen Dingzhu always cared about him very much.
He was busy with government affairs and couldn't eat with her. She always told Xu Shou to never forget to eat no matter how busy he was.
When he stayed up for two nights because of court affairs, she would send someone to bring him soothing soup.
He was very angry with the courtiers, and the next day he would receive a sachet made by her to purify the heart and reduce the fire.
Why did she do so much for him, the little things that made him feel attentive, she did them so well, and it seemed that her love and dependence on him reached the extreme.
But she was indifferent to this matter of conferring a queen and choosing a concubine, and even tried her best to promote it.
Why?
She doesn't care, isn't she jealous? Or is it hidden? Afraid to let your emotions out?
"Change the route. Instead of going back to the imperial study, go to Yaoguang Palace." Xiao Langyan wanted to know what happened.
At this time, Shen Dingzhu had already returned to Yaoguang Palace.
She had been feeling unwell recently. She had just been exposed to the cold wind on the lake and felt dizzy after coming back.
"Your Majesty, should we invite Dr. Cen to come?" Mother Song couldn't help but suggest as she saw Shen Dingzhu's face losing vitality and turning pale.
Shen Dingzhu was leaning on the beauty's couch, with a brocade quilt draped over her body. Her slender figure showed off her exquisiteness. At this time, because of her discomfort, her beautiful and flawless face had a lazy and naturally charming look.
"There's no need for Dr. Cen, it's just that the wind is blowing. I just asked Shen Bi to heat up a bowl of brown sugar and eggs. Just eat it. Then I will sleep again. Aunt Song, please let someone guard the palace gate. If Cui Lianfu, or if someone else comes to pay their respects, I will send you back for the time being."
"Yes." Nanny Song reached out and gently massaged Shen Dingzhu's temples.
Suddenly, Chun Xi's surprised greeting came from outside the palace: "This slave is here to see the Emperor."
Shen Dingzhu was drowsy with his eyes closed. Hearing this, he suddenly opened his pretty eyes with a look of confusion.
Why did Xiao Langyan come? He should be by Sun Qingya's side at this moment, or in order to appease the Sun family, he should invite Sun Qingya to have a meal with him.
Thinking like this, Shen Dingzhu had already stood up holding Granny Song's hand.
As soon as she reached the door, Xiao Langyan's tall body stepped in, and Shen Dingzhu almost hit his chest.
"See the Emperor..." Before she could finish her words, Xiao Langyan interrupted coldly, "The rest of you should step aside. I want to speak to the imperial concubine alone."
Seeing that Xiao Langyan looked wrong, Grandma Song glanced at Shen Dingzhu worriedly, but Shen Dingzhu gave her a reassuring look in return.
After the people in the palace left, the palace door was closed, and Xiao Langyan's thin eyes were filled with sharp light.
He held Shen Dingzhu's wrist and pushed her to the beauty couch.
"Why would you rather let Sun Qingya admire the red maple when it is fake? You should know that if you told me that the red maple has fallen, I will not let Sun Qingya enter the palace today, and you don't have to work so hard."
Shen Dingzhu didn't understand where his anger came from. He just blinked his slender eyelashes and said softly: "The red leaves are indeed gone, but Miss Sun San didn't come to the palace entirely for the red leaves. I just wanted to Do your best.”
"Besides, this is the emperor's personal decree, isn't it? I am doing this for you." Her attitude made it impossible for Xiao Langyan to find anything wrong.
There was no clue about Shen Dingzhu's pretty face, but Xiao Langyan was even more irritable, as if there was a fire in his heart that kept burning him over and over again.
"Don't you care? Aren't you afraid that she will enter the palace and become the queen?" Xiao Langyan's eyes were as deep as a cold pool, as if there was a kind of desire.
Shen Dingzhu's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and after a while, she twitched her red lips: "I think... Miss Sun San is very good. If she is to be a queen, she will definitely be suitable."
These words were like ripples rising from the ground, stirring up the hustle and bustle in Xiao Langyan's eyes.
He pressed Shen Dingzhu's shoulders and looked at her beautiful and innocent face. His throat rolled up and down, and a cold laugh slowly escaped from his thin lips.
"Okay, my noble concubine, you are so good." He leaned down and wanted to kiss her lips hard. He just wanted to use his desperate possessive way to watch her cater to her out of control, as if this was the only way to prove that Shen Dingzhu actually had him in her heart.
However, just as Xiao Langyan was about to kiss him, Shen Dingzhu's expression changed and he suddenly retched!
Xiao Langyan's lips stopped half an inch away from her red lips.
The two looked at each other, his thin eyes were dark and her face was full of panic.
Shen Dingzhu covered her mouth, a little flustered: "Your Majesty, I am a little uncomfortable today, the wind blew..."
"You want to pretend to be sick and reject me?" Xiao Langyan was about to force the kiss, but unexpectedly, Shen Dingzhu made another gagging sound.
This time she felt like she was really going to vomit, so she pushed hard with her hands, staggered to the spittoon and retched.
Xiao Langyan couldn't help but look even worse when he saw that she actually vomited it out.
He smelled it immediately.
"Why are you vomiting? I don't smell like anything." Finally, he added, "I didn't touch her either!"
Shen Dingzhu touched the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, her face was weak, and her beautiful eyes were dark and pitiful: "I don't mean this, I am my concubine."
Xiao Langyan saw her sitting almost limply on the ground, so he walked over and wanted to pick her up.
However, as soon as his arms wrapped around her waist, Shen Dingzhu couldn't help but vomit again.
This time, he actually vomited on his dragon robe.
Shen Dingzhu turned pale with shock, while Xiao Langyan's face turned livid: "Do you think I'm dirty?"
If he didn't touch Shen Dingzhu, she wouldn't vomit. If he touched her, she would immediately feel nauseated.
Xiao Langyan could only think of the possibility that she disliked him.
He only spent less than half an hour alone with Sun Qingya.
