"Hmm."
"Then I'll sleep with you," he paused, "for as long as you need."
"Hmm." Xiao Changyi kissed An Jing on her forehead once more before closing his eyes to sleep.
An Jing also closed her eyes. She had actually gone to bed quite late last night because he hadn't come back. She wasn't used to sleeping without being in his arms, but her body's fatigue eventually got the best of her.
After all, they had been riding horses and rushing along the road for the past fifteen days; she was indeed a little tired.
An Jing and Xiao Changyi slept straight through to noon. During that time, the Emperor of Xiyun had come to visit once, and upon hearing that they were still asleep, he left and ordered that no one should disturb their rest.
The Chamberlain of Fenghua Palace also told An Jing and Xiao Changyi that the Emperor of Xiyun had prepared a midday meal and asked them to go to Jun Palace to eat.
