He dared not take any risk, he dared not bet on feelings, just because he cared too much, so he couldn't afford to bet.

Just like when he was in Dongyou, because he didn't want to marry a wife and take a concubine, Ye Jin would rather spend time with those old ministers, so they dare not mention this matter. When he entered the palace, everyone shut up and told Wen Mu that he would not accept a concubine.

Even if Jiu Qing said in person, "The emperor should have three palaces and six courtyards", and even generously advised her to accept a concubine, he would never agree, because he did not want to let go of any person or something that would affect his relationship between them -

Even if he is just worried about nothing, he will never give himself a chance to make a little mistake.

He was always worried that he would take a wrong step and regret it for life.

In order to live together for the two of them and to be together forever with the people they care about, he is willing to pay any price and will do whatever he should have solved all obstacles.

But he never thought about it...

Ye Jin never thought that one day, the weapon that would destroy the relationship between two people might not be due to misunderstandings, nor was it an obstacle to any identity, status, or ability, or even a person with ulterior motives who deliberately create twists and turns, and there would be no one who should not have interfered in their relationship.

...and it is simply a tease of fate.

Ye Jin bit his lip and felt uneasy. The portrait made him feel a strong ominous premonition. He didn't even have enough confidence to tell himself that this was just a prank by some boring people, or someone deliberately wanted to interfere.

He didn't dare to think about what that portrait meant, and he didn't dare to guess whether this portrait would cause a devastating blow to their relationship...

"Your Highness." The respectful voice of the palace maid came from outside. Ye Jin was slightly stunned and soon came to his senses. When he raised his eyes, he saw Jiuqing had already walked in, his eyebrows and eyes were like picturesque, and his whole body seemed to have the unique coldness and quiet atmosphere of the night.

Ye Jin felt a heat in his heart, like a lonely traveler suddenly encountered a source of heat, almost impatient to get close, but he restrained his impulse, clenched his hands, and tried his best to make himself look calm and calm as before.

"You're back." He spoke, a smile raising the corner of his mouth, but his voice was a little tense.

Jiuqing nodded, his expression seemed a little strange, so he didn't notice whether Ye Jin's expression was strange, and he just said, "Let's go, it's time to change the medicine. After changing the medicine, I'm tired too."

Ye Jin pursed his lips and replied softly, "Yes."

Back at Jinhua Palace, Ye Jin took off his moon-white robe and just sat down on the stool. When he heard Jiuqing ask, "Have you just gone out?"

Ye Jin was slightly stunned and nodded: "Yes, I'm out."

"I have injuries on my body, so I don't stay in the bedroom and I'm going to do something?" Jiu Qing glanced at him, "Have you eaten late-night snack?"

"Eat it." Ye Jin said, "You left without eating anything just now and asked them to send some more?"

"It's so late, what else can I send?" Jiuqing smiled faintly, "In a while, I'll have to eat breakfast."

Ye Jin suddenly felt quiet when he heard this.

Jiuqing changed the medicine for the scars on his back and tried the palm print on his shoulders with his fingertips, "Is it still hurting here?"
