Chapter 282
After taking a bath, Nalan Jingwen originally intended to go straight back to Rong Hengyu's place, but she felt like she had forgotten something. It wasn't until a servant came and told her that Nalan Yin had been looking for her that she remembered that she had forgotten about Nalan Yin.
She turned and walked towards their previous room. The room was lit, and she carefully pushed the door open. She saw Nalan Yin asleep on the small table on the soft couch. He must have been waiting for her and got sleepy. The warm firelight shone on his soft white face, and he looked very obedient, unlike his usual cunning and unpredictable self.
Nalan Jingwen walked over and carefully picked her up. Nalan Yin opened her eyes groggily and saw that it was her. She reached out and hugged her neck, gently rubbing her cheek against her neck, her voice soft.
"You're back."
Nalan Jing hummed in agreement and carried the person toward the bed.
"I have some things to attend to tonight. Would you like to sleep alone?"
Nalan Yin immediately snapped out of it. He raised his head, his watery eyes looking at Nalan Jingwen, "What is it?"
Nalan Jingwen didn't say anything, but lowered her head and kissed his lips, "Be good."
Nalan Yin turned her head away, resisting her kiss for the first time, her tone haughty and full of dissatisfaction.
"No! Yin'er is afraid of the dark, and her sister knows that perfectly well!"
Now look at you, daring to throw a tantrum at her like this.
Nalan Jingwen wasn't angry at all; she only found his appearance quite vivid and adorable. She placed him on the bed, leaned down, turned his face, and showered him with delicate kisses. Nalan Yin initially resisted, but later he was kissed until he had no strength left, and his whole body went limp. He could only place his entire weight on Nalan Jingwen's hands, his cheeks flushed, and his watery eyes were somewhat hazy, yet he still stubbornly glared at her.
He gripped her clothes, but with little strength, just a symbolic tug, stubbornly holding on.
Nalan Jingwen chuckled softly, wrapped the man in the blanket, kissed his eyes, and comforted him, "I'll leave after you fall asleep."
She didn't tell Nalan Yin directly that Rong Hengyu had come; if he found out, none of them would be able to sleep tonight.
Besides, Rong Hengyu had been traveling a long way, and she couldn't bear to let anyone disturb his rest.
Nalan Yin's health was not very good to begin with. He was extremely sleepy and got tired and sleepy more easily than the average person. Today, she accompanied him out for a long time, and Nalan Yin was already exhausted. So the kiss just now had used up a lot of his strength, and he was drowsy and could barely keep his eyes open. Hearing her words, he finally felt a little relieved and fell asleep.
Once Nalan Yin was completely asleep, she carefully pulled the hem of her clothes out of his palm, left the room, and headed towards Rong Hengyu's room.
The lights were dim, and the candlelight flickered.
Rong Hengyu didn't seem to be sleeping well; his handsome brows were slightly furrowed, and his jade-like face was full of weariness.
Nalan Jingwen carefully lifted the quilt and lay down. Just as she was about to reach out and pull Rong Hengyu into her arms, she saw him close his eyes, lean in on her, put one hand on her waist, and bury his face in her chest.
"Your Majesty."
His voice was a little hoarse and low.
Nalan Jingwen paused, gently stroking his soft, long hair, and whispered, "Did I wake you up?"
Rong Hengyu gently shook his head in her arms, "As soon as Your Highness entered, I knew."
Nalan Jingwen lowered her head and kissed his hair.
"You must be tired. How long have you been traveling?"
He didn't speak, seemingly calculating the time. After a while, he said, "About a month."
January.
Normally, it would take about a month and a half to travel from the capital to Yancheng, but he only took a month, which means that he had almost no rest time along the way, which is why he arrived half a month ahead of schedule.
No wonder he didn't mention his own situation in the letter; it turns out he had planned this all along.
Nalan Jingwen hugged the person tighter, "Where's Hongyun? Why isn't she with you?"
There must have been dangers along the way, yet he came without any personal guards.
"I have allowed her to stay in the Prince's residence to protect Young Master Liu and the others. I do not trust anyone else."
Upon hearing this, Nalan Jing was at a loss for words.
Rong Hengyu knew that if anything happened to Liu Qishan and the others, she would be very sad. That's why he worried about what she worried about and thought about what she thought. Even though he didn't want to share a wife with others, as Nalan Jingwen's husband, he naturally had to take responsibility and share the burden for her so that she wouldn't have to worry about the situation in the mansion even when she was away, and could feel at ease.
Rong Hengyu always considered the big picture and acted with great discretion in everything he did.
If you have a husband like this, what more can your wife ask for?
Nalan Jingwen raised her hand and gently stroked the corner of his eye, not having the heart to ask anything more. "You've worked hard, go to sleep."
Rong Hengyu wrapped his arms around her waist, snuggled closer to her, and spoke in a muffled voice, expressing his longing.
"Hengyu misses you very much, my wife."
Nalan Jingwen paused, her heart softening beyond belief. Looking at his tightly closed eyes, she placed another kiss on his forehead.
"Me too."
She and Rong Hengyu rarely saw each other. Every time she returned to the capital, she would leave again in a hurry after only a few days. Each time she left, it would be for two or three months at the shortest and a year or two at the longest. The time she spent with him was very limited, and she really felt indebted to him.
Fortunately, Rong Hengyu is sensible and has never uttered a single complaint.
But the sensible child doesn't get any candy.
Nalan Yin had previously been relentlessly pursuing her, even threatening to kill himself, acting completely crazy. After they got together, he always loved to act coquettishly and cling to her, wanting to be with her in everything he did. So, naturally, he received a lot of affection from her.
Therefore, Nalan Jingwen hoped that Rong Hengyu could sometimes be less sensible.
……
A good night's sleep.
Nalan Jingwen had already woken up, but seeing that the person in his arms was still fast asleep, he couldn't bear to wake him up so early.
Rong Hengyu was an extremely self-disciplined person, a typical young master from a noble family. Every day without fail, he would get up at dawn, burn incense, wash and groom himself, and then assign the daily tasks of the Prince's Mansion.
It's almost 9 AM, and Rong Hengyu still shows no signs of waking up, which means he must be extremely exhausted from the journey.
I wanted to stay with the person and sleep a little longer, but things didn't go as planned.
Outside the door came the servant's voice, "Your Highness, Young Master Yin says he is not feeling well and would like you to come and see him."
Just as Nalan Jingwen was about to reply, he felt the person in his arms move. Rong Hengyu opened his eyes, still somewhat confused.
"Good morning, Your Highness."
Nalan Jingwen touched his face. "It's still early. Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
Rong Hengyu opened his mouth to speak, but then heard a servant outside the door report.
"Your Highness, Young Master Yin said that the wind has been too strong these past few days, and it's giving him a headache."
"Your Highness, Young Master Yin said it's too cold and his legs hurt."
"Your Highness, Young Master Yin says his stomach isn't feeling well."
"Your Highness, Young Master Yin said that if you don't go to see him, he will kill himself in front of you."
"..."
Nalan Jingwen felt a headache coming on, and she looked down at Rong Hengyu, "I'm sorry to have disturbed your rest."
Rong Hengyu gently shook his head, "If Your Highness has something to attend to, you don't need to worry about me."
