Save my man, why does he always turn out to be the savior?

Chapter 206 Palace Intrigue World: A Harem Pierced Through Like a Sickle VS An Awakened Emperor with

Su Jinyue now strongly suspects that it is because Xiao Jing'an can't stand her sleeping in late that he calls her to the morning court every time.

Although Su Jinyue came to help Xiao Jing'an and it was only right for her to stay with him, Xiao Jing'an's actions towards her seemed a bit like repaying kindness with enmity.

She showed no expression on her face, but she was cursing inwardly, and Xiao Jing'an heard all of this.

Xiao Jing'an touched his nose, feeling a little guilty, but thinking about what Su Jinyue had done recently, he felt that he couldn't be blamed.

Although Su Jinyue was ostensibly confined to her quarters, she was actually always in the Qianqing Palace.

But there was absolutely nothing she needed to do!

She was just a lowly eunuch in the Qianqing Palace, but she didn't have any specific duties, and Li Derang helped cover for her.

Most of the time, she accompanied him to court, and after court, Su Jinyue would catch up on sleep.

Su Jinyue used to avoid him and rest in the tea room, but later, after getting to know him, she started sleeping directly in Xiao Jing'an's palace.

Su Jinyue has been eating and living with him all this time, and now she's just accompanying him to court. What more could she ask for?

After court, Su Jinyue returned to Qianqing Palace and walked familiarly towards Xiao Jing'an's bedroom, also instructing Li Derang not to prepare breakfast for her.

Seeing that Su Jinyue was ignoring him, Xiao Jing'an raised an eyebrow but remained silent.

Li Derang carefully observed Xiao Jing'an's expression, but was surprised to find that Xiao Jing'an was not angry at Su Jinyue's audacity, and even seemed to indulge her.

Li Derang silently elevated Su Jinyue's importance in his heart. Just as he was about to go down, he heard Xiao Jing'an's instructions.

"Li Derang, you should prepare the foods that Xiao Su usually likes to eat, so that she won't come and bother me when she wakes up hungry."

Li Derang quickly bowed and agreed.

In fact, even if Xiao Jing'an hadn't reminded him, Li Derang wouldn't have been unprepared. As a servant, he had to be fully prepared in order to gain his master's favor.

Su Jinyue went to catch up on her sleep, but Xiao Jing'an still couldn't rest; he still had to go to his study to review memorials.

With Su Jinyue as a prophet, Xiao Jing'an felt that the affairs of the previous dynasty were being handled extremely smoothly during this period.

Xiao Jing'an had no idea that his court officials, who appeared righteous and incorruptible on the surface, actually had all sorts of petty quirks and minor inconsistencies that were easy to find.

For those who were excessively greedy, Xiao Jing'an dealt with them swiftly and decisively once he obtained the evidence, making an example of them to deter others, which proved to be somewhat effective.

As for the most pressing issue to be addressed, it is Xiao Jing'an's uncle, Prince Han, Xiao Mohan.

After these days of investigation, Xiao Mohan's disloyal intentions have become crystal clear.

It was also because Xiao Mohan had hidden it well beforehand. If it weren't for Su Jinyue's reminder, Xiao Jing'an really wouldn't have realized that Xiao Mohan's hidden power had already grown quite large.

Xiao Mohan couldn't shake the power of the court officials, the cabinet ministers, and the ministers of various departments in the capital, but he also cultivated quite a few lower-ranking officials.

This is just in the capital; we don't know how many more there are in other places.

However, it will happen soon. Xiao Jing'an has been secretly making preparations during this period. Once he exerts his strength, he must completely destroy Xiao Mohan's force!

After a busy morning, having dealt with all the urgent matters, Xiao Jing'an stretched and could finally rest for a while.

The Qianqing Palace was quiet; Su Jinyue hadn't woken up yet.

Xiao Jing'an got up and quietly walked to his bedroom. He lifted the bed curtain and, in the dim light, could barely make out Su Jinyue's outline. She was fast asleep inside.

Xiao Jing'an raised an eyebrow. Su Jinyue was too familiar with him. She slept in his bed and covered herself with his blanket without feeling presumptuous at all.

Su Jinyue studied ghost cultivation techniques late into the night last night, and got up too early today; she was really exhausted.

Moreover, this was Xiao Jing'an's residence, and his presence was everywhere, which reassured Su Jinyue, and she slept even more soundly.

It even started snoring softly.

Looking at Su Jinyue like this, Xiao Jing'an felt a surge of playfulness. He lifted the bed curtains and hung them up, letting the light in.

When Su Jinyue went to sleep, she didn't take off her clothes, only put her hat aside. Her face, which was not covered in makeup, was still radiant and glowing.

In her sleep, Su Jinyue was no longer as unruly and mischievous as usual. Her face was rosy, her eyelashes were thick like small brushes, and her lips were slightly pouting.

The quiet and obedient Su Jinyue gave Xiao Jing'an a strange feeling, as if a soft spot in his heart had been touched.

Xiao Jing'an sat on the edge of the bed, reaching out slowly towards the sleeping Su Jinyue, as if he wanted to touch her lips.

But just as Xiao Jing'an approached Su Jinyue from a distance, his hand remained hovering above Su Jinyue's cheek for a long time without moving.

Finally, Xiao Jing'an's hand fell, but not to Su Jinyue's lips, but to her fair cheeks that were slightly flushed.

It felt smooth and soft to the touch. Xiao Jing'an subconsciously squeezed it, but only gently, without using any force.

Su Jinyue seemed to feel a strange touch on her face. She moved unconsciously, but couldn't get rid of the mischievous hand.

Seeing that Su Jinyue was showing signs of being awakened, Xiao Jing'an did not dare to continue.

After waiting for a while and finding that she hadn't woken up, Xiao Jing'an tentatively moved his fingers again.

This movement startled Su Jinyue again. In her sleep, Su Jinyue reached out and grabbed the hand that was playing tricks on her face. She turned over and lay on her side facing Xiao Jing'an.

Su Jinyue didn't let go of Xiao Jing'an's hand. Instead, she put both of their hands under her cheeks and then remained still.

Xiao Jing'an was surprised that even after all this, Su Jinyue still hadn't woken up.

His hand was being used as a pillow by Su Jinyue, and his body was forced to lean closer to the sleeping Su Jinyue.

Xiao Jing'an was now closer to Su Jinyue, and could even see the fine, soft downy hairs on her face and smell the faint sweet fragrance emanating from her.

Xiao Jing'an's Adam's apple bobbed uncontrollably. Only now did he realize that he seemed to have developed different feelings for her.

I first noticed Su Jinyue because of her inner thoughts.

This situation was somewhat bizarre. Xiao Jing'an initially didn't believe it, then questioned it, tested it, and eventually began to believe it.

Later, Xiao Jing'an discovered that Su Jinyue's feelings were nothing compared to the extraordinary abilities of all the concubines in his harem, who could not be judged by ordinary standards.

However, Su Jinyue was still on his side, so Xiao Jing'an inevitably trusted her more.

And those suddenly appearing images... Xiao Jing'an was willing to believe they were real, but he was also very curious about Su Jinyue—just what kind of person she was.

However, during this time together, apart from hearing Su Jinyue's inner thoughts, Xiao Jing'an didn't notice anything unusual about Su Jinyue.
