Shen Nianshu smiled. After living two lives , how could she not know what kind of person Bai Nanyu was?

Bai Nanyu 's hand was still hanging, and his mind had already drifted to Shen Nianshu.

Bai Nanyu 's eyes. She gently put down the tea cup in her hand, and the crisp sound seemed to break the silence around her.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Yun sent someone to say that dinner has been prepared for you." The eunuch on duty at the door came to say.

Bai Nanyu paused at the tip of his pen and said, "Yes, I understand."

He smiled slightly, and there seemed to be an unfathomable secret hidden in that smile, "Then let's go, don't keep Concubine Yun waiting too long ."

Bai Nanyu stood up and hurriedly walked towards the door, but stopped the moment he was about to step out of the threshold.

He tilted his head slightly, his eyes full of complex emotions.

Bai Nanyu felt disturbed. He knew that he should not be affected by Shen Nianshu, but he could not control his emotions. He took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart, then turned around and strode out of the study.

Bai Nanyu stepped into Concubine Yun's palace, a burst of fragrance hit his nostrils, and he couldn't help but admire, "Concubine Yun's craftsmanship is so good, I can smell it from a long way away."

"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty."

Concubine Yun smiled shyly, stepped forward to welcome him, gently took off Bai Nanyu's coat with both hands , and said softly, "If the emperor likes her, I will be satisfied."

Bai Nanyu looked around and saw that the bedroom was decorated warmly and elegantly. There were all kinds of delicacies on the table, which were delicious and mouth-watering.

He walked to the table and sat down, and Concubine Yun immediately served him the food herself.

Bai Nanyu tasted the delicious food and felt Yun Fei's tenderness and thoughtfulness. The confusion in his heart gradually dissipated, replaced by a trace of warmth and satisfaction.

Bai Nanyu put down his chopsticks, frowned slightly, and seemed to be worried about something.

Concubine Yun noticed his abnormality and asked with concern, "Your Majesty, why do you look unwell? Is there something wrong?"

Bai Nanyu looked up at Yun Fei , a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

He sighed softly and said, "I encountered some difficult problems while handling state affairs today, which made me a little upset."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Yun immediately put down her chopsticks, walked to sit next to Bai Nanyu , gently held his hand, and whispered to comfort him, "Your Majesty, you are the ruler of the world, so you will naturally have many troubles. But please rest assured, no matter what difficulties you encounter, I will always be by your side, supporting you and encouraging you."

Bai Nanyu felt the warmth in Concubine Yun's palm , and a warm current surged in his heart. He turned to look at Concubine Yun, with a gleam of gratitude in his eyes, "How thoughtful, you are worthy of being my confidant."

Concubine Yun gently leaned on Bai Nanyu 's shoulder, with a gentle smile on her lips. She looked up at the bright moon outside the window, her eyes gleaming with anticipation, "Your Majesty, the moonlight tonight is so beautiful. I would like to invite you to enjoy the moon together, okay?"

Bai Nanyu's heart moved when he heard this. He turned to look at Concubine Yun, with a gentle light in his eyes, "Okay, I will accompany you to appreciate the moon."

After finishing their dinner, the two of them walked hand in hand in the moonlight and headed to Denghe Tower .

The breeze blows gently, taking away the heat of the day, leaving behind the coolness and tranquility of the night.

Yun Fei glanced at Bai Nanyu sideways . His profile looked even more angular in the moonlight, like a beautiful painting.

we arrived at Denghe Tower , lanterns had already been lit upstairs, and the warm yellow light looked particularly cozy in the night.

The two of them climbed up the stairs, and each step was accompanied by the slight creaking of the wooden ladder, as if telling an ancient story.

Climbing to the roof, a broad view opens before your eyes. The twinkling stars and the palace lanterns in the distance complement each other, forming a beautiful picture.

Concubine Yun gently leaned on Bai Nanyu 's shoulder, her voice as gentle as the night breeze, "Your Majesty, it's great to have you."

Bai Nanyu was silent for a moment, his eyes gazing into the starry sky, as if looking for an answer.

He spoke slowly, with a hint of deep sadness in his voice, "Yun Fei, tell me, are there really parents who don't love their children?"

Concubine Yun did not answer immediately. She held Bai Nanyu 's hand tightly, feeling the warmth of each other's palms. She looked up at Bai Nanyu 's profile, her eyes full of concern and tenderness, "Your Majesty, are you thinking of something unhappy?"

Bai Nanyu shook his head gently, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his emotions.

"Nothing." He said lightly, with a barely perceptible hint of loneliness in his voice.

Concubine Yun did not ask any further questions.

The two of them stood quietly on the roof, enjoying the tranquility of the night and the beauty of the starry sky.

Bai Nanyu smiled slightly, a warm feeling welling up in his heart. He gently held Concubine Yun's hand and said softly, "Let's go back to the palace. It's a bit cold."

Concubine Yun nodded , she snuggled up to Bai Nanyu , and they walked down the Denghe Tower together .

Bai Nanyu nodded gently, letting Concubine Yun take his arm and return to the palace together. As the night deepened, the palace lanterns flickered, and the shadows of the two stretched on the wall, swaying with their steps.

Entering the bedroom, Concubine Yun carefully took off Bai Nanyu's coat and said softly, "Your Majesty, you must be tired. I sent someone to get some hot water for you to take a bath to relieve your fatigue."

As she said this, she turned and walked towards the side hall, and soon came in carrying a copper tub. The tub was steaming and exuded a faint herbal fragrance, which was obviously carefully prepared.

He walked over to the tub, took off his coat, and stepped into the warm water.

After taking a bath, Bai Nanyu felt relaxed, as if all his fatigue had been washed away by the hot water. He put on a soft nightgown and walked back to the main hall of the palace.

Concubine Yun had already made the bed for him. The soft quilt exuded a faint fragrance, making people feel peaceful and comfortable.

She stood by the bed, smiling in her eyes, waiting for him quietly.

Bai Nanyu walked to the bed and sat down, and Yun Fei immediately undressed him gently. Her movements were gentle and delicate.

When the last bit of restraint was untied, Bai Nanyu lay on his back, and Yun Fei gently covered him with a quilt. She leaned over and gently kissed him on the lips.

"Your Majesty, let me take care of you and let you go to bed..." Concubine Yun had just finished speaking.

Bai Nanyu frowned slightly. He raised his hand and gently pressed Yun Fei's shoulder. There was a hint of fatigue in his voice, "Yun Fei, I feel a little uncomfortable today. Forget it."

Concubine Yun paused and immediately asked with concern, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Bai Nanyu shook his head, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath, "I'm just a little tired. You should rest early, I'll just lie down by myself."

After hearing this, Concubine Yun stopped insisting. She gently tucked Bai Nanyu into bed, and then pressed a kiss on his forehead, "Then, Your Majesty , please have a good rest, I will be with you right next to you."

The moonlight is like water, shining in the inner room of the palace, shrouding everything in hazy light and shadow. Bai Nanyu was lying on the bed, his eyes closed tightly, and his breathing was even and gentle.

Beside him, Concubine Yun had fallen asleep peacefully.

However, in this quiet night, complex emotions surged deep in Bai Nanyu 's heart .

Shen Nianshu's figure kept flashing in his mind. Her smile, her eyes, and her every move made him unforgettable.

He turned slightly to the side.

His movements were light and quick, fearing to wake up Concubine Yun beside him. He put on his coat and walked lightly towards the door of the bedroom.

Pushing open the door, the cool night breeze blew towards him, bringing a hint of autumn. Bai Nanyu took a deep breath and felt his mood calm down a little.

"Your Majesty, where are you going?"

Eunuch Fu's voice was particularly clear in the night. Bai Nanyu stopped and frowned slightly. He turned around and looked at Eunuch Fu, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

"I just want to walk around the palace and get some fresh air." Bai Nanyu 's voice was a little low, as if with a hint of helplessness.

Eunuch Fu looked at Bai Nanyu , with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, it is late at night and the roads in the palace are winding. Please let me accompany you." Eunuch Fu's voice was filled with a hint of earnestness.

Bai Nanyu was silent for a moment, and finally nodded. He turned and walked towards the palace road in the moonlight, followed by Eunuch Fu.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he walked to the door of the cold palace.

Bai Nanyu stopped .

Eunuch Fu noticed the emperor's strangeness and asked softly, "Your Majesty, do you want to enter the district?"

Bai Nanyu did not answer. He slowly pushed open the door of the cold palace. A cold wind blew towards him, mixed with a damp and chilly smell.

He frowned and stepped into the desolate land.

There was silence in the cold palace.

Caiwei happened to be on duty at night. When she saw the emperor's arrival, she was startled and immediately knelt down and saluted, "See you before the emperor."

Bai Nanyu shushed her and signaled her to be quiet. He nodded slightly in response to her greeting, and then continued to move forward.

Caiwei didn't dare to say anything and quickly lowered her head, but her heart was full of doubts. What is the purpose of the emperor's late-night visit to Leng Palace?

Bai Nanyu walked through a deserted courtyard and came to Shen Nianshu's bedroom. He stood outside the door, took a deep breath, and felt a surge of complicated emotions in his heart.

Bai Nanyu gently opened the door.

The dormitory was dark, with only a weak oil lamp emitting a flickering light, adding a hazy warmth to the silent space.

He walked slowly into the bedroom and his eyes fell on Shen Nianshu's bed.

Bai Nanyu felt an indescribable emotion in his heart. He walked to the bed and sat down gently.

He stared at Shen Nianshu's sleeping face. The moonlight fell from the window, casting a soft glow on her face.

Bai Nanyu gently reached out his hand and touched her cheek.

He slowly took off his coat and lay gently next to Shen Nianshu.

Bai Nanyu lay quietly, thinking a lot.

"Why is it you?" Bai Nanyu murmured to himself.
