Chapter 1074: Sharing the Same Bed

While Ning Shu was still conflicted over this, Liu Changqing had already retrieved his hand, then flipped around to have his back facing Ning Shu as well.

This kind of situation really was like the saying, the husband and wife share the same bed but different dreams.

Ning Shu furrowed her brows slightly. Liu Changqing truly was very strange.

She turned back around and reached out to grab Liu Changqing’s silky hair. She distinctly felt his body stiffen and tense.

As expected, there was an issue. Ning Shu retrieved her hand and sat up as she said, “We suddenly recalled that there was still an important government matter to deal with, so we’ll be leaving first.”

Liu Changqing grabbed Ning Shu’s hand. His hand was very cold. The moment he took Ning Shu’s hand, she shivered. This sort of cold felt like it’d seep straight into the heart.

“Your Majesty, you should rest. It’s already past midnight. It’ll soon be morning.” Liu Changqing’s voice was very clear and calm. Although he was speaking words of concern, his tone seemed to contain feelings, but also didn’t quite seem to contain concern.

Ning Shu frowned. Fudge, she was getting irritated again. Whenever she encountered this Liu Changqing who looked like he barely had any will to live, her heart would fill with unsuppressable irritation.

These were probably the original host’s feelings. Ning Shu silently chanted the heart-clearing chant in order to suppress this feeling of vexation.

“Alright, let’s sleep.” Ning Shu lay back down and silently chanted the heart-clearing chant. After chanting it for a while, she ended up falling asleep.

She didn’t know how long she had slept, but she was woken up by the sound of Liu Changqing’s clear voice. “Your Majesty, you should wake up.”

Ning Shu woke up with a quiver. Her mouth felt dry, her entire body was hot, and her heart was pounding extremely fast. This body was seriously too unhealthy.

Ning Shu looked towards Liu Changqing. He was sitting by the window with a book in his hand. As the sunlight shone on him, it casted a faint halo, causing the usual cold aura around him to fade slightly.

He was truly a charming male beauty.

Liu Changqing set down his book and walked towards Ning Shu. He got the clothes from the hanger and said, “Your Majesty, please get dressed.”

Ning Shu spread out her arms and waited for Liu Changqing to help her put on the outfit. The moment he got close, she smelled the faint elegant fragrance on him.

She felt that Mu Nichang probably cherished this Liu Changqing.

However, after this short interaction, she didn’t feel like Liu Changqing had any affection for Mu Nichang. This meant that Liu Changqing didn’t love Mu Nichang?

Ugh, forget it. The male consorts in this inner palace had nothing to do with her, so there was no point worrying about it.

Liu Changqing helped Ning Shu tidy up her clothes, then Ning Shu prepared to leave. When she got to the door, Liu Changqing called out to her. She turned around to look towards him. After a moment of silence, he said, “Your Majesty, please play attention to your health. Don’t work too hard.”

Ning Shu smiled, then nodded and left.

After getting out of Phoenix Perch Palace, she didn’t head directly to court and first returned to her palace to gulp down a pot of water. She was way too thirsty. It felt like she was completely dried out.

She checked her own pulse. This body had been seriously messed up by the pills.

In Phoenix Perch Palace, she had endured the thirst and didn’t drink any water. She didn’t know why, but she always felt uneasy when facing Liu Changqing. It was impossible to figure out what quiet people who didn’t like speaking were thinking.

It couldn’t really be said that Liu Changqing was calculating though. He just didn’t seem to care about anything and just quietly managed the inner palace without trying to gain favor.

Ning Shu worked hard to think through the storyline to figure out how exactly Mu Nichang and Liu Changqing’s interactions went.

It didn’t seem to be anything special. Mu Nichang simply visited Liu Changqing’s Phoenix Perch Palace every fifteenth on the dot and the two had one daughter together, which was the crown prince, Mu Xue.
