Chapter 151 Your Majesty, Please Hold On

"I still don't believe it...Brother is just like this..." Xu Zhouye's face was as pale as paper, his lips trembled slightly, and his hands were tightly gripping Chu Yunxiao's thick and strong arms like iron clamps.

His eyes were red and tears were welling up in them, and his face was filled with unconcealable sadness.

Chu Yunxiao was also in pain. He didn't want to see his beloved queen so sad. It felt like millions of needles piercing his heart at the same time, making him feel excruciating pain.

So he took a deep breath, suppressed the pain in his heart, and once again stretched out his broad and warm hands, gently embracing Xu Zhouye in his arms.

Like a wounded fawn, Xu Zhouye snuggled obediently in Chu Yunxiao's broad and solid arms, closing his eyes slightly, feeling the familiar and reassuring breath.

When he opened his eyes again, his once clear and bright eyes were becoming dull and lifeless, as if they had lost all their vitality.

At this time, the branches and leaves outside the window were swaying gently in the night breeze, making a slight rustling sound.

The bright moonlight shines through the mottled shadows of the trees and falls on the ground, covering the entire courtyard with a layer of dreamy silver frost.

The cold light shone into the house through the carved windows, making the atmosphere inside even more desolate.

The two people in the house were still hugging each other tightly.

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Zhouye finally moved slightly, then slowly raised his head, leaned close to Chu Yunxiao's ear, and said in an extremely light but playful voice, "Your Majesty, please hold on..."

Chu Yunxiao was stunned, and slowly loosened his arms that were tightly hugging Xu Zhouye. He lowered his head and stared straight at his face that was so close to him.

The person who was crying bitterly just now now had a hint of cunning in his eyes.

Before he could react, Xu Zhouye took his hand and walked to the dragon couch and sat down.

Then, his queen leaned close to his ear again and said in a low voice, "That's enough. The person has left."

Chu Yunxiao was startled again, his hands resting on his knees, at a loss as to what to do. He chuckled and said, "The Queen has indeed seen through it..."

Xu Zhouye leaned his head on his shoulder and said jokingly, "Your Majesty has secret guards, and so do I. Xuan Qi is my man now."

"I accidentally overheard the conversation between the Queen and Qinghe that day. It was Xuanqi who told you." Chu Yunxiao was helpless.

Xu Zhouye smiled and nodded. "Your Majesty, it's fine that you eavesdropped, but you dare not admit it. I asked Your Majesty that day, but Your Majesty knew how to change the subject."

The day before he received the letter from his elder brother, Qinghe hurriedly brought him a letter from his father.

When he opened the letter from home, he was stunned for a long time.

The reason was simple. After some investigation, we finally learned that the injury suffered by the eldest brother was not an accident at all, but was deliberately and deliberately done by someone.

In order not to alert the enemy and to comply with the man's wishes, his eldest brother had no choice but to play along and pretend to be seriously injured and go to the battlefield in person.

Finally, the tragic news of his death on the battlefield was to be reported back to the capital.

In order to present the most realistic effect, Xu Jianglin wrote in the letter without any reservation: The play must be made more real!

Xu Zhouye obviously took these words to heart.

Acting is a piece of cake for him.

However, in order to ensure that the final effect is perfect and flawless, he decided to have an in-depth discussion with Qinghe.

This whole scene was seen by Chu Yunxiao, who had come over earlier and was eavesdropping.

He originally wanted to tell Xu Zhouye that there was a conclusion to the matter of his elder brother's injury, and he still needed his cooperation in putting on a show.

I didn't expect that I was still one step behind Qinghe.

Chu Yunxiao felt a little disappointed that he couldn't bring the good news to his queen in person.

Ever since his queen became pregnant, her mood had been fluctuating, and she rarely sought comfort from him as intimately as before. He had hoped to use this opportunity to cheer his queen up and bring them closer, but things didn't go as planned; he was still a step behind.

So he changed his mind and decided that since he had to act anyway, he might as well cooperate quietly to make the scene more realistic.

"Your Majesty said that he is not a three-year-old child. If you want to make me worry, just say it directly. Why beat around the bush? It's so childish!" Xu Zhouye said as he stretched out his fingers and gently pinched Chu Yunxiao's cheek.

Chu Yunxiao pulled the corners of his mouth helplessly, revealing a bitter smile, and slowly said: "It's the Queen who is in trouble. I changed the subject, but as long as the Queen continues to speak, I will naturally tell her everything without reservation."

Hearing Chu Yunxiao's words, Xu Zhouye blushed immediately and lowered his head in embarrassment: "I don't know why, but I have become extremely sensitive in recent days. I always feel that Your Majesty is no longer as intimate to me as before, so I will..." At the end, his voice became smaller and smaller, almost inaudible.

Chu Yunxiao's heart ached when he heard this. He quickly opened his arms and hugged Xu Zhouye tightly, comforting him softly, "It's all my fault. I misunderstood the Queen's feelings. I thought the Queen didn't want to be close to me, so I kept forcing myself to hold back..."

As he spoke, he lowered his head slightly and gently placed a kiss on Xu Zhouye's smooth forehead. Then he stretched out his right hand and carefully placed it on Xu Zhouye's flat abdomen, gently stroking it, and asked with concern: "How are you feeling recently?"

Xu Zhouye was a little stunned by Chu Yunxiao's sudden action. He stared blankly at the big hand Chu Yunxiao placed on his abdomen, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was racking his brains to think about how to respond to Chu Yunxiao's question.

Chu Yunxiao was amused by his appearance, "The Queen is truly different."

Xu Zhouye laughed out loud. As he laughed, he slowly stretched out his right hand and gently placed it on the back of Chu Yunxiao's hand that was stroking his abdomen. "I feel that it must have been hard on me. Given the current situation, it is inevitable that it will have to follow me to face the storm."

Feeling the warmth of the other's palm on the back of his hand, Chu Yunxiao felt warm in his heart. He lowered his eyes and looked at Xu Zhouye gently, saying disapprovingly: "It's obviously the Queen who has it harder."

Hearing this, Xu Zhouye smiled helplessly and sighed softly. After a moment of silence, he finally raised his head, his eyes revealing deep worry. He asked in a heavy tone, "I wonder how Shang Jiu is doing now..."

Chu Yunxiao's relaxed expression suddenly froze, but he quickly regained his composure. His face turned serious, his brows furrowed, and after a moment of contemplation, he replied in a firm and steady voice, "I believe he must still be alive."
