C302 Do you know what happened tonight?

Bai Qianfan was tired for the whole day, so she lay down and fell asleep not long after. However, her sleep was shallow. As long as there was any movement, she would wake up. She vaguely heard someone calling for a king at the door, and then someone walked in. She was very familiar with the sound of the footsteps, so she knew that Morong Gan had come the moment she heard him.

She was happy at first, but then it turned to bitterness. Tonight was probably the night of the Prince Chu's candles, but she did not understand why Morong Gan would suddenly come to her place while he was sleeping soundly.

With her eyes closed, she heard him undress and slip under the covers. Normally, she would have quickly snuck into his embrace and found a comfortable position to lie down. However, today, she did not move. Some sort of emotion was brewing, and she had her dignity and bottom line.

He seemed to lower his head, for the hot breath was on her face, and she was nervous, her heart pounding, her eyes still closed as she pretended to sleep.

"I know you're awake. Open your eyes and look at me."

She wouldn't. She grunted and turned her back to him.

Morong Gan propped up his elbow and asked the back of her head, "Do you know what happened tonight?"

Bai Qianfan did not make a sound, and continued to pretend to be asleep. In Morong Gan's eyes, this was the sign of a guilty conscience. He snorted. "If you don't tell me, I'll make it so you can't sleep tonight."

In the end, she was still afraid. Turning her back to her, she softly replied, "I know."

Morong Gan asked again, "Did you agree?"

Bai Qianfan swallowed her saliva, "This is a good thing, why would I disagree?"

Morong Gan gritted his teeth in hatred. If she had done this in the past, he would not be bothered about it, but now that he had made clear the relationship between them, would she really have to step on his heart?

He gnashed his teeth in hatred, but there was nothing he could do. He really did marry an ancestor. It wasn't that he couldn't scold her, but she was still poking his heart! He took a few deep breaths and lay down with his back to her. The couple had their backs to each other, leaving a foot-wide gap between them. They both felt uncomfortable, but neither of them spoke.

Bai Qianfan had something on her mind, she woke up before dawn, the light on the bedside lamp had long been extinguished, it was pitch black. She stared blankly with her eyes open for a long time, when she got used to the light, she suddenly realised that Morong Gan's face was extremely close to her.

He was probably the most beautiful man she had ever seen. Just like how men liked beautiful girls, handsome men were also loved by girls, which was why Feng Ruying was willing to sleep with him before entering the house. Then, she thought about it again. Xiu Yuanshuang and Gu Qingdie, they should also like the Duke, so what about her … Did she like it? Not being a Big Brother, but a girl's love for her husband.

She had no choice but to like him. He was her husband, so she had to like him and treat him well in order to get on good terms with him. However … He only knew her for a few days, and they were already sleeping together. Today, she still had to copy a book and they could stay together the entire day, he would also take Feng Ruying to see the White Crane, give her some delicious food to eat, hold her hand, and treat her like how he treated her …

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. She shook her head and decided not to think about it anymore. She quietly sat up, walked over to Morong Gan and sat on the side of the bed to put on her clothes.

What she didn't know was that the moment she stepped out, the sleeping man suddenly opened his eyes.

In the outer room, when the katana and Liu Ye heard the commotion, they hurriedly came in to wait. However, when they saw that Bai Qianfan was already dressed, they led her to the room next door to wash up.

When she left, her scent still remained in the tent. He smiled bitterly, she had spared no effort for Feng Ruying to use the exact same shampoo. It was the same fragrance, the same skinny body, but with just a casual touch, he could feel the difference. That familiarity was the result of spending time with each other from day to day, slowly seeping into his heart little by little, and even with his eyes closed, he could feel it.

What made him most angry was that they had actually used incense, either in incense or silver, thinking that they would be able to achieve something without anyone noticing. When he woke up, he realized that everything was too late, this heartless little girl, could she really do anything when she planned her husband's actions?

He let out a sneer. So what if everything had been completed? He did not want Feng Ruying's little life to be taken advantage of, yet he still wanted to throw her into the Prince Chu's Palace. A mere assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, what rights did he have to be his father-in-law?

No matter what the truth was, he did not care about the other people. The only one that worried him was Bai Qianfan, and the only one he cared about was her. If she asked him to marry her, he would immediately cut Feng Ruying off from her.

After thinking about it, he could only say the word 'annoying', so he simply sat up and looked out of the window. There was a hazy white light floating outside the window, it was probably already noon, he quietly sat down to listen to the noise outside, at this time, Bai Qianfan had already gone to the buddhist hall.

It was still early in the morning, Morong Gan washed up and ate breakfast, he walked around the place with his hands behind his back, causing fog to appear, it was a vast expanse of whiteness, the space between the brows was already blurry and everything could not be seen clearly, he casually walked, and turned two rounds, but he did not know where he had walked to, and suddenly heard movement in front of him, thinking that it was the imperial harem, and just as he was about to avoid her, a person came out from the fog, looking elegant, graceful and luxurious, but with a weak and sickly appearance, it was none other than the current Empress.

When the empress saw him, she was pleasantly surprised. "It's third brother. Why are you here?"

Morong Gan raised his hands and bowed down, "This subject greets Royal Sister-in-law."

"No need to be polite, we're family," the empress smiled and helped him up. "Third brother, are you sleeping well in the palace?"

Morong Gan laughed indifferently, "It's been too long since I left, I'm really not used to it."

The Empress asked, "Why haven't we seen Princess Chu?"

"Today, she wants to plagiarize the Bee Leaf Sutra. She has already gone to the Buddhist Hall." Morong Gan asked, "Where is Royal Sister-in-law going?"

"Great Imperial Physician wants me to go to the flower garden early every morning to take a walk. Breathing fresh air is beneficial to my body. Since Your Majesty has been free these two days, you should accompany me for a walk. Is Third Brother going as well?"

Morong Gan quipped: "Royal Brother is wandering around the garden, wouldn't it be annoying if little brother is stuck in the middle?"

"You must have learned it from the Princess Chu. Third brother is so glib now."

The two of them were talking and laughing, when a person walked over silently. He was tall and refined with a slight smile on his face. "Zhen has heard the voices from far away and was wondering who the empress was talking to this morning. It turns out to be Third Brother." Third Brother, you have business with the empress here? "

Morong Gan hurriedly bowed, "Chendi was confused by the mist and has unconsciously walked all the way here. Chendi will leave immediately if you don't mind Royal Brother's presence in the garden." With that, he left in a hurry.

The emperor watched as his back quickly disappeared into the vast fog. He asked with some curiosity, "Why did he leave the moment he saw Zhen?"
