"You're awake?" Huang Xiao gently stroked Zhao Yunhui's cheek and smiled.
A blush instantly rose to Zhao Yunhui's face. Remembering her abandon the night before, how could she not feel shy?
"Hahaha!" Seeing her expression, Huang Xiao burst into a thoroughly self-satisfied laugh.
"Go on, look smug! Go on, laugh!" Zhao Yunhui said, lightly pounding his chest.
"Of course I'm pleased with myself. With you beside me in this world, how could I not be?" Huang Xiao sighed. "And with your younger sister too, I suppose I'm enjoying the Blessings of Qi's People."
"Mmm!" Zhao Yunhui snuggled closer into his arms, then rested against his chest.
Seeing how shy she was, unwilling to say anything, Huang Xiao went further and whispered in her ear, "Even Xin'er wasn't as bold as you were last night."
After saying this, Huang Xiao sprang out of bed.
Once he had dressed, he glanced back at Zhao Yunhui's embarrassed, annoyed expression and smiled. "I'm going to the palace first. I have something to discuss with my father-in-law. Are you going to the palace, or staying here?"
Zhao Yunhui knew Huang Xiao must have something important to discuss with her imperial father. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I'll go see my imperial brother later. You go to the palace first."
Huang Xiao nodded without saying anything more. He knew the imperial brother Zhao Yunhui meant was Zhao Yuankan.
This time, Huang Xiao met no obstruction entering the palace, but Li Jiqian's men had their eyes on him again.
Huang Xiao, however, paid them no mind.
After meeting Zhao Guangyi, Huang Xiao brought up the Seven Spirit Blades. To his surprise, Zhao Guangyi actually said he had none in his possession.
"How is that possible? As far as I know, Father-in-law, you should have one."
