Chapter 126 This guy is so handsome
Yun Ji was so confused and emotional that he felt his vision was dark. It was only after Nan Yingzhi reminded him that he realized the source of his dizziness.
A feeling of suffocation came over him, and he gasped for breath like a drowning person who was rescued to the shore.
After finally waiting for the discomfort to pass, Yun Ji was already exhausted.
He leaned quietly on Nan Yingzhi's shoulder as if he had no bones, and slowly regulated his breathing.
Nan Yingzhi had been stroking his back. Seeing that his body was moving less and less, she felt that he was feeling better, so she asked with concern, "Have you caught your breath?"
Yun Ji hummed in her ear, which counted as his agreement.
He whispered in her ear as if to do something naughty: "Xiao Zhizi, my heart is beating so fast, it's killing me."
Nan Yingzhi really wanted to be immune to his tricks, but her ears were not able to cope with it and the heat sensation came over her like a wave.
She found out that Yun Ji was being mean, so she joined him since she couldn't beat him and didn't show any politeness.
Nan Yingzhi pulled Yun Ji's hand over and placed it on her chest, letting him feel her strong heartbeat.
She smiled and said, "It's okay. It won't kill you. We are both the same. We will die just as fast. At worst, we can just be a pair of star-crossed lovers."
Realizing that this was not auspicious, Nan Yingzhi quickly added: "Let's go to heaven together and become a divine couple."
Sure enough, Yun Ji couldn't resist the teasing.
With his hand between Nan Yingzhi's palm and her chest, and her sweet words filling his ears, he shut his mouth in shame.
"Qingchuan'er," Nan Yingzhi asked him, stroking his temples and rubbing his ears, "The news from the palace said that you are sick?"
"It's just a fever, it's not a big deal." Not wanting to make her sad, Yun Ji instinctively spoke cheerfully, trying to allay her worries, "Look, I'm fine now, aren't I?"
"Hmm," Nan Yingzhi didn't deny or nod, she put her arm around his waist, "I feel like you've lost weight. Before, I could wrap one arm around you, and it was just right, but now there's a lot of space left."
The weight loss was an outward manifestation, and Yun Ji could not deny it.
Trying to divert Nan Yingzhi's attention with body language, he pecked her mouth like plucking a flower: "I've spent my life for you, even if my clothes have become loose, I'll never regret it."

"You don't regret it, but I do. What if I get sick from being hungry?" Nan Yingzhi thought of Lingfeng saying that he was picky about food, and she was unimpressed by his sweet words. "Although I am touched by what you said, you should still eat well."
"I'll try my best," seeing her frown, Yun Ji quickly changed his words, "I will."
"Man is like iron and food is like steel. If you don't eat for a meal, you will be hungry," Nan Yingzhi coaxed him softly, "You should eat something at least."
Finding that she took this very seriously, Yun Ji said, blinking his eyes: "Okay."
Feeling that he had agreed to it in front of her, but might actually go against her will behind her back, Nan Yingzhi argued and tried to arouse his enthusiasm for eating with words.
"You are not active in eating, there is something wrong with your thinking," Nan Yingzhi said to this point, and then she let out an "ah" and suddenly realized, "You have no appetite, is it because someone bullied you?"
"No," Yun Ji said sharply as he burrowed into her arms, "Who dares?"
Not knowing whether he really had the means to survive or was simply trying to reassure herself, Nan Yingzhi was stunned for a moment and held his back with her hand.
"You should be living in Yaohua Palace now," she said, examining Song Cheng's results in educating his younger sister. "How does Concubine Shu treat you?"
"It's strange," Yun Ji said honestly when talking about Concubine Shu's attitude towards him, "She didn't like me very much at first, but I don't know who told her to treat me very well all of a sudden."
She thought that it was Concubine Shu who bullied him and withheld his food. When she heard him deny it, Nan Yingzhi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine."
Yun Ji looked curious: "Why do you seem to have anticipated this result?"
"Because I specifically ordered this," Nan Yingzhi explained to him, "You don't have to worry about living with her. Her brother Song Cheng is mine."
Surprised at her speed in winning people over, Yun Ji's eyes widened: "When did Song Cheng surrender to you? Why didn't I see him surrender when I sent someone to ask before?"
"Maybe my passionate words attracted him?" To this day, Nan Yingzhi still couldn't figure it out. "He came here on his own after raising funds for the war."
"The matter of treason is of no small importance," Yun Ji suggested, "it is better to find out his background."
Feeling that this made sense, Nan Yingzhi nodded and said, "You are right. I will send Lingfeng and Lingyu to investigate when I get out."
"They have been around you and have been seen by many people. They are not the best choice for investigation." Yun Ji pointed his finger at the floor of Ruyifang and said, "Why not let Lin Chi go?"
"My dear," Nan Yingzhi couldn't help but kiss him on the forehead, "You are really my good military advisor."
Enduring the numbness from his forehead, Yun Ji's body softened, his voice panting, but he did not dodge: "For you, I don't mind being a military advisor."
"By the way," Nan Yingzhi thought of the assassination attempt on himself and Song Cheng in the suburbs of Beijing, and his eyes were deep, "How much do you know about the Queen Mother?"
Speaking of the Queen Mother, Yun Ji said with emotion: "She looks like just a woman in the harem, but she should not be underestimated. There were many people like her in the previous dynasty."
Seeing Nan Yingzhi nod, he continued: "Many of the royalists are not loyal supporters of Yun Ting. Most of them came here to support the queen mother."
After listening to his words, Nan Yingzhi understood a lot of things. She nodded slowly: "I see."
Seeing that she had something to say, Yun Ji followed the topic and gave her a chance to show off: "Why are you asking about the Queen Mother?"
"On the way back from the court, someone attempted to assassinate him." Not wanting to make him worry, Nan Yingzhi ignored the details of the process and briefly explained it before getting to the point. "Lingyu said that they had the aura of the Empress Dowager's palace."
"In the Queen Mother's Palace..." Recalling the smell he smelled when paying his respects, Yun Ji understood, "He said sandalwood mixed with agarwood?"
Not knowing much about spices, Nan Yingzhi shook her head: "He only said that he seemed to have smelled it in the Queen Mother's Palace, but he didn't know what it was exactly."
"The incense burned in the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace is not just a mixture of sandalwood and agarwood, but also contains some Western spices." Yun Ji kept it short, fearing that she would be confused by him. "In short, it is specially formulated."
After thinking for a moment, he came to the conclusion: "Lingyu has a keen nose. If he says it is true, then it is very likely that the Queen Mother has something to do with your assassination."
"It really is her," Nan Yingzhi sighed, "The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs, but in order to ensure that her son can sit firmly on the throne, she really did whatever it takes."
"The Queen Mother has many tricks." Yun Ji suspected that the cup of poisoned wine in his previous life was closely related to the Queen Mother. He tightened his grip on her neck, "You have to be more careful."
"Okay, if you say so, I will," Nan Yingzhi responded to Yun Ji hugging her neck and hugged him tighter, "but you have to eat well too."
Her few words of concern made Yun Ji's heart flutter.
He muttered in a low voice: "If you make it for me, I will definitely eat it."
Nan Yingzhi felt a little embarrassed after hearing what he said.
It is no exaggeration to say that when she cooks, the kitchen explodes.
But for Yunji, if he asks the chef for advice and studies hard, he may be able to be saved.
Planning to find time to practice cooking, she made a promise: "The hunt is coming soon. If I can find the opportunity, I will bake something for you. You must keep your word."
Feeling that there was hope for the dull days in the palace, Yun Ji's face turned red again: "Of course."
Through the window, Nan Yingzhi saw Dugu Yue still teasing Yang Ling and showing off his martial arts. She patted the back of his hand and said, "Let's talk about something else."
"Hmm?" Yun Ji was still slowly coming back to his senses. He could not say anything else but just "Hmm".
In order to test his understanding of Dugu Yue, Nan Yingzhi pointed to the window and asked, "Do you know that man in green?"
After a quick glance, Yun Ji withdrew his gaze and obediently replied, "I don't know him."
Nan Yingzhi thought that Yun Ji knew something about Dugu Yue, so she could continue to talk about it. Now that she got a negative answer, she fell into deep thought.
How can I tell him implicitly that Dugu Yue is the emotional tribulation that the Imperial Master cannot overcome?
Seeing that she stopped talking, Yun Ji reacted quickly: "Do you know this person?"
Not knowing how much she should reveal, Nan Yingzhi was evasive: "I guess so."
"Is it?" Yun Ji looked at Dugu Yue's face again, condescendingly, "Hey, this guy is really handsome."
