“Did the emperor go to see you?”

Yun Shuran didn’t expect him to ask this, she replied honestly: “The emperor had people send some furnishings.” After she finished speaking, she sighed lightly.

Qi Boshen: “You don’t like the furnishings that were sent?”

She shook her head: “It’s not the furnishings, I’m a little confused, why would the emperor continue to pay attention to me?”

Qi Boshen stared at her unblinkingly, as if he was going to stare through her face, he noticed every subtle change in her expression.

Yun Shuran leaned against the window sill in confusion, she supported her face with her palm, the sunlight fell on her beautiful profile, making her eyes look even clearer and brighter.

“You don’t have a hint of happiness?” It was like he was asking casually, but this question seemed to have a dangerous undercurrent, it was full of sourness.

Yun Shuran didn’t notice anything wrong, she shook her head again without hesitation: “I’m almost worried to death, it’s a death sentence either way, the key is to give me a quick death.”

She couldn’t figure out what the male lead meant.

Qi Boshen stared at her, after a moment he asked: “If he asks you to sleep with him…”

Yun Shuran raised her eyes in confusion, then she couldn’t help but laugh: “Sister, are you talking nonsense?”

Before Qi Boshen could answer her, she continued: “The emperor has never touched a concubine, how could he possibly ask me, a discarded concubine, to sleep with him.”

She didn’t even think before rejecting this possibility.

Qi Boshen knew Leng Jun too well, he knew that Leng Jun treated Yun Shuran differently.

Seeing that she didn’t show any joy, he didn’t ask any more.

“Sister, did he make you unhappy?”

Yun Shuran thought to herself, his face didn’t look very good just now.

Qi Boshen mercilessly gave her a dose of eye drops: “Hmm, his temperament is cruel, be careful when you face him in the future.”

Yun Shuran widened her eyes: “Did the emperor scold you?”

She thought carefully, she hadn’t heard the male lead’s angry voice in the neighboring palace just now.

Qi Boshen lowered his eyelids, his thick eyelashes cast shadows: “Hmm.”

Yun Shuran saw that he clearly didn’t want to say more, she lovingly reached out and hugged his arm, comforting him: “Sister, don’t take it to heart, just treat it like wind in your ears.”

Qi Boshen was tall and had long arms, Yun Shuran hugged him tightly, his arm was pressed against her chest.

Qi Boshen could feel the smooth touch under the gauze-like clothes.

His arm slowly bulged with veins, because of excessive restraint, his white arm under the sleeve was flushed red.

Yun Shuran hugged him, she kept saying comforting words, she didn’t notice the quiet and eerie Qi Boshen at all.

She didn’t know about the dispute between the male lead and the beautiful neighbor, but Leng Jun looked like the kind of person who wouldn’t be gentle, he wouldn’t be soft-hearted because the beautiful neighbor was a girl.

“Sister, cheer up.”

She poked her head out from his side and winked at him with a smile, she was already a fairy-like beauty, but now she was so charming and lovely that it made people itch to see her.

“Huh?” Yun Shuran smiled and smiled, then she found that the beautiful neighbor’s skin under his clothes was starting to get hot again.

She subconsciously reached into his sleeve, her soft palm gently stroked his arm, repeatedly considering if he had a fever?

Qi Boshen’s body became extremely tense, the tingling sensation caused by her palm, the strange feeling spread crazily to every part of his body, it burned his reason like fire and aroused his instincts.

Yun Shuran was about to ask why his body was so hot? The hand she had reached into his sleeve was suddenly tightly grasped by his big hand, the temperature of his palm scorched her, making her jump in surprise.

“Sister…”

Qi Boshen tightly grasped her hand, his fingertips trembled slightly, he tried his best to suppress the urge to lock her in his arms, he stiffly turned his back to hide the sudden anomaly.

He said with a tight and dry throat: “I’ll rest for a while.”

Yun Shuran thought that he was in a bad mood because of the male lead, he wanted to be alone.

She worriedly instructed: “Sister, if you’re feeling unwell, you must not endure it.” With his status, the physician he called would also be the imperial physician.

Hearing Qi Boshen’s response, Yun Shuran left his palace with a worried look back.

It seemed that the male lead really scolded the beautiful neighbor, otherwise he wouldn’t be so angry.

Yun Shuran returned to her palace, she looked at the new furniture that occupied every corner, although it was a bit strange, it was better than nothing.

She lay on the bed, she prayed in her heart that the male lead’s “strange attention” towards her wasn’t malicious, and it wasn’t a conspiracy.

Yun Shuran had known since she was a child that there was no free lunch in the world, and there was no free pie falling from the sky, the male lead’s scheme was definitely waiting for her.

It’s just that she couldn’t decide anything now, for example, the furnishings that were sent, she didn’t even have the right to refuse.

She yawned, hoping that she was overthinking.

Because the male lead had appeared in the cold palace for the second time in a short period of time, Yun Shuran postponed the matter of climbing over the wall to go out and catch fish for the next few days.

These days, she only watered the vegetable patch, and she went out to get the food box sent by the eunuch, she tried not to go out, she didn’t even set foot in the neighboring palace.

These days, she didn’t want to disturb the beautiful neighbor, she was afraid that he would be annoyed with her, she also wanted to give him a quiet space.

In the afternoon, it was time for the eunuch to enter the cold palace to deliver food, Yun Shuran was already sitting on the pillar inside the door, waiting for the eunuch to push the door open.

She could hear the eunuch’s grumbling complaints outside the door, every time he came, he would complain about how unlucky the cold palace was, how scary it was, and how much he didn’t want to come.

Yun Shuran treated it as entertainment, she silently counted one, two, three, when she counted to three, the eunuch’s complaints stopped, then the lock on the cold palace door was opened, revealing the eunuch’s flattering face.

Since the emperor had “changed” his attitude towards her, the eunuch who delivered the food was the first to change his face, after that, every time he came, he would ask her about her well-being, his attitude was completely different from when she had just come here.

It’s said that power is a good thing, almost everyone fights tooth and nail for it, there’s a reason for that.
