Chapter 870: Faint breathing, in broad daylight

Lin Chujiu was very aware of how many pairs of eyes were staring at her, but as long as those people don't come to her door, she won't care.

Lin Chujiu believes that Xiao Tianyao can handle the ups and downs outside and inside the palace. But what if there will be injustice?

She doesn't care if things will not be fair. If something happens in the country that Xiao Tianyao can't settle, she cannot settle it.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the accompanying guards showed the badge of Xiao w.a.n.gfu, and the palace guards at the gate let them in without checking the carriage. Lin Chujiu was not surprised at all.

Things were not what they used to be, now in the capital, who would dare to trouble her?

The carriage drove into the gate of the palace. When it reached the road where the carriage could not go, a eunuch came over with a small sedan chair and asked Lin Chujiu to get on the sedan chair. Lin Chujiu didn't need to walk a step.

This was the first time Lin Chujiu has received meticulous service in the palace.

Seeing the attentive servants, Lin Chujiu couldn't help but shake her head. No wonder everyone wanted to climb up because only by climbing to the top you can enjoy the treatment that others can't enjoy and see the scenery that others can't see.

After lifting the hem of her skirt, Lin Chujiu sat in the sedan chair, then lifted the curtain to look at the scenery in the palace.

She had entered the palace many times, but this was the first time she has the leisure to enjoy the scenery of the palace, and it was also the first time that she doesn't have to worry about dying in the palace.

It is not unreasonable for an honorable husband to look for a n.o.ble wife. If she relied on herself, she might not be able to climb to her current position even after working hard for a long time. However, because she married Xiao Tianyao, she easily reached a high position that no one else could climb in a lifetime.

The eunuch who carried the sedan chair walked quickly and steadily, and within a short while, they sent Lin Chujiu to Xiao Tianyao's office. When the sedan chair was put down, Zhenzhu stepped forward to help Lin Chujiu get off the sedan chair: "w.a.n.gfei."

"Well, you all step back and give me the food box." Lin Chujiu stood in front of the sedan chair and waited. Feicui and Shanhu stepped forward with the food box in hand. Lin Chujiu took it and carried the food box.

After taking two steps forward, a eunuch stepped forward and said courteously: "This servant pays his respects to Xiao w.a.n.gfei. w.a.n.gye said it early in the morning. When w.a.n.gfei comes, w.a.n.gfei can enter directly. There is no need to report."

"Mmm." Lin Chujiu replied reservedly and walked forward unhurriedly with the food box in hand. After walking to the door, Lin Chujiu paused, but when she raised her hand to knock on the door, she heard Xiao Tianyao's voice coming out of the room: "Come in."

Lin Chujiu withdrew her hands, pushed the door open, and entered. Inside the room, Xiao Tianyao was sitting at the desk, holding a brush in one hand and a scroll in the other hand, with a focused and serious expression.

A serious man was the most attractive. To Lin Chujiu, Xiao Tianyao's charm was boundless at this moment. She was powerless to resist. For a moment, she even forgot to walk.

Repeatedly losing oneself in Xiao Tianyao's masculine charm was not a good thing, at least for Lin Chujiu. But before Xiao Tianyao found out, Lin Chujiu returned to her senses, looked away, walked to the side, and sat down.

Lin Chujiu didn't wait for a long time. Xiao Tianyao put down his brush after approving the paperwork in his hand, raised his head, and said, "You're here!"

His tone was flat, and his words were just ordinary, but they hit Lin Chujiu's heart. Lin Chujiu's expression softened, and she said in a half-joking, half-serious way: "Mmm, I bring you your lunch."

Lin Chujiu pointed to the food on the table: "It's still hot, you can eat it directly."

"Mmm." Xiao Tianyao got up and walked over, sat down beside Lin Chujiu, and looked at her.

Lin Chujiu was stunned for a moment, and then reacted and obediently opened the food box and took out the food inside.

He was a prince. Even if he doesnt like to have someone serve him personally, he will never do it himself.

There were two servings of rice. The portion of the dish was enough for Lin Chujiu and Xiao Tianyao. Naturally, Lin Chujiu will not be polite. After serving Xiao Tianyao, she picked up the rice bowl and started eating.

Xiao Tianyao had excellent dining etiquette, and he seldom talked when eating. Lin Chujiu was used to eating alone since she was a child, and she also developed the habit of not talking while eating. The two ate in silence, and the only sound in the room was the sound of them chewing their food.

She thought this silence would last until the two finished their meal, but they didn't want their chopsticks to pinch the last piece of meat on the plate at the same time.

*Ka* The two pairs of chopsticks twisted together, Lin Chujiu and Xiao Tianyao were taken aback at the same time and looked up at each other.

Lin Chujiu reacted the fastest and was used to backing down, so she withdrew her hand first: "You eat."

"It tastes good." Xiao Tianyao picked it up and took a bite.

Lin Chujiu's eyes fell on the remaining half of the meat, she nodded and said: "Indeed, the cook's skills are very good." Who knows if it was because someone accompanied her for dinner, or because the dishes for lunch today were really good. She had a big appet.i.te and eat more than usual.

A smile flashed across Xiao Tian's dazzling eyes, and the chopsticks in his hand suddenly turned around and handed them to Lin Chujiu: "Open your mouth."

"Huh?" Lin Chujiu was taken aback, her mouth was slightly open, Xiao Tianyao took the opportunity to stuff the half piece of meat into her mouth, and retracted the chopsticks.

"Hmm" Lin Chujiu instinctively took a bite and stared at Xiao Tianyao with wide eyes.

Can she tell Xiao Tianyao that although she has no addiction to cleanliness, she doesn't like to eat other people's saliva?

She remembered that Xiao Tianyao bit into half of this piece of meat.

"How does it taste?" Xiao Tianyao asked with dazzling eyes.

"It's not bad." The corner of Lin Chujiu's mouth twitched, and she gave herself countless brainwas.h.i.+ng before swallowing the meat in her mouth whole.

"Today's dishes are really good." Xiao Tianyao picked up a chopstick and tasted it.

Lin Chujiu's eyes kept staring at Xiao Tianyao's chopsticks. He wanted to remind Xiao Tianyao several times that his chopsticks were probably stained with her saliva. Doesn't he mind?

But seeing Xiao Tianyao eating happily, she didn't dare to speak, for fear that after reminding Xiao Tianyao, Xiao Tianyao would be so sick that he vomited.

After the two finished eating, Lin Chujiu resigned to her fate and packed the dishes, and asked: "Shall we go to the emperor now?" This was her real purpose today, and delivering lunch was just incidental.

"Let's go." Xiao Tianyao got up, but he didn't go forward, instead, he turned around suddenly. Lin Chujiu was caught off guard and slammed into Xiao Tianyao's arms.

"Hiss" Xiao Tianyao's chest was too hard, hitting Lin Chujiu in pain, but before she could complain, Xiao Tianyao reached out and pressed her lips.

"What are you doing"

"Vegetable stains on lips."

"Ah?"

Lin Chujiu was stunned, with a look of embarra.s.sment, Xiao Tianyao looked down at her, and chuckled: "I lied to you."

"You" Lin Chujiu blushed even more, but this time she was angry.

"Let's go, benw.a.n.g will take you to see the Emperor." Xiao Tianyao pretended not to see it, turned his back, and took her hand to walk into the study.

"Let go." Lin Chujiu was dragged two steps forward by Xiao Tianyao and almost b.u.mped into Xiao Tianyao again.

"Mmm." Xiao Tianyao responded, but he didn't let go, instead, he held her hand even tighter. Lin Chujiu was in pain and couldn't help complaining: "Be gentle."

Xiao Tianyao lightened his strength slightly, but Lin Chujiu was still dissatisfied: "It hurts." She was a surgeon who relies on her hands for food, so what would she do if her hand was injured?

"Mmm." He responded with his mouth, but there was no reaction to his actions.

"I said be gentle, it hurts a lot."

"Ah I said to be a little lighter."

"Well, this is fine, don't put any more force."

In the darkness outside, the shadow guards hiding in the corner couldn't see the movements of the two, but could only hear their soft or heavy voices. After listening for a long while, the shadow guards looked at each other silently, then turned their faces away with red ears
