Chapter 247

Chapter 247 How long have you not slept?

"I say... have you not slept all night?" Xue Qingyin thought. It had only been a short time since He Songning took her away from Zicheng when King Xuan took over Zicheng. He then left Zicheng and traveled through the mountains and forests without stopping until he finally found her.

She immediately asked him, "When did you march? Have you eaten? How long have you not slept?"

For a moment, King Xuan was unable to get a word in.

He took a clean handkerchief and covered Xue Qingyin's mouth. After blocking Xue Qingyin's voice, he wiped the corner of her mouth and said, "Eat first."

Xue Qingyin's chest straightened up immediately, holding the chopsticks with full momentum.

She stuffed her mouth full, took two bites, and then said in a small voice: "Don't you want to eat? Don't let my husband starve to death."

King Xuan: "...Eat."

As he said, he took away the flower-shaped glutinous rice cake from her bowl that she had just tasted and threw away because she didn't like it.

Xue Qingyin licked her lips and felt a little embarrassed.

It seemed that she had bullied him from beginning to end.

She said: "Why are you eating from my bowl? Just ask someone to make two more dishes."

King Xuan didn't even raise his head: "I like it."

Xue Qingyin bit her chopsticks unconsciously and moved her butt, this time moving closer to King Xuan.

She couldn't eat too much when she was so hungry. Xue Qingyin didn't eat a few chopsticks, and drank a bowl of warm soup, so she couldn't eat anymore.

She yawned lazily and gradually felt tired.

She leaned against the back of the chair and rested her head on King Xuan's arm.

As she leaned against him, her eyelids began to droop.

King Xuan put down his chopsticks and turned his eyes to scan her face.

She breathed softly, her eyelashes trembled twice, and she looked calm.

"I haven't slept well for sixteen days." He whispered.

Xue Qingyin's eyelashes trembled again, but she didn't wake up. Her head slid down and burrowed deeper into his arms.

King Xuan raised his arms and held her steadily.

He held her like this and sat at the table for a while. Seeing that she was sleeping more and more soundly, he gently stripped her clothes, wrapped her in a clean robe, and stuffed her on the bed.

He sat by the bed for a while before walking to the door and opening it.

Fang Chengzhong had been waiting outside the door. When he saw King Xuan come out, he was relieved immediately, thinking that he thought... Maybe he would have to wait for three or four hours.

"Your Highness, those people brought back..."

"Place them in the meeting room and wait."

"Yes."

Fang Chengzhong lowered his eyes and looked at the dried blood on King Xuan's armor: "I'll get some clean clothes for your Highness..."

King Xuan interrupted: "No need. Bring Yao Minghui to the meeting room as well, and don't worry about the rest."

"Yes."

"You should go back and rest."

Fang Chengzhong smiled: "Thank you, Your Highness."

After he responded, Fang Chengzhong's face showed fatigue. He couldn't help but look at King Xuan again.

His Highness King Xuan still didn't reveal the slightest sign of fatigue, but the fierceness and restlessness between his eyebrows disappeared.

Fang Chengzhong couldn't help but sigh inwardly, and then turned around and left.

"Your Highness?" A personal guard came up to greet him.

King Xuan looked at the room next to him and said, "Prepare a bathtub."

"Yes."

King Xuan walked towards the room while unbuttoning his armor with one hand, and his personal guards came forward to take it one by one.

After washing off the blood and dust on his body, he changed into a green robe. Then he went back to the previous room and hugged Xue Qingyin to sleep together.

In the other room.

Dou Ruyun and Qinggui Jun sat on both sides of the hall, neither of them spoke, and all had cold faces.

This hall was originally used for meetings, so it was naturally very spacious, and it could accommodate so many of them.

But at this time, a sound of footsteps approached.

"General Yao, please." The personal guard said.

Yao Minghui looked up at the plaque hanging in the hall, and said indifferently: "Why is His Royal Highness King Xuan so polite today?"

The personal guard had no intention of answering for him, but just stood behind him, motionless.

Yao Minghui understood...he had to go in even if he didn't want to.

Yao Minghui lowered his eyes and walked in.

At this time, several eyes in the hall fell on him.

Qinggui Jun's hand immediately pressed on the hilt of the sword again.

They now knew where Yao Minghui was... It turned out that King Xuan had captured him early in the morning.

"General Yao." At this time, Dou Ruyun said with a complicated expression.

Yao Minghui paused and frowned: "Why are you here too? The Meng army shouldn't be defeated so easily."

Dou Ruyun narrated in a steady tone: "I led people to open the gate of Zicheng."

Yao Minghui was so angry that he took two steps forward, feeling oppressed: "Are you crazy? You are so disregarding the overall situation, what kind of people are we? Fence-sitters with no integrity and two-faced?"

Someone in the Qinggui army couldn't help but pull the corner of his mouth and sneered: "Fence-sitters are better than you."

Dou Ruyun couldn't help but speak for himself: "Scold him if you want to, don't scold me, how can you call 'you'?"

Yao Minghui: "..." His eyebrows were wrinkled, and his broad features were filled with gloomy anger.

"General Dou, are you breaking off relations with me?" Yao Minghui said coldly, "You can't help but want to win a good future in front of King Xuan?"

The Qinggui army couldn't stand hearing this.

In their view, King Xuan was the son of Emperor De of Liang, and to please King Xuan was the same as to please Emperor De of Liang...

Seeing that everyone's eyes on him were not very friendly, Dou Ruyun was not in a hurry. He suddenly turned his head and asked the guards of King Xuan: "When did the Princess Xuan finish her meal?"

The guards looked cold and said in a serious tone: "I don't know."

Yao Minghui also said: "You gathered us here, so you must have something to say. Why can't you see King Xuan?"

Dou Ruyun said: "How can General Yao ask such a stupid question? Didn't you hear? The Princess Xuan is having a meal. Then where is the King Xuan? Naturally, he is with the Princess Xuan."

Yao Minghui: "..."

Dou Ruyun twisted his hips and sat more steadily on the chair. He said: "Wait for a while."

Now only a few of them know the truth.

Dou Ruyun suddenly felt superior.
