See the mature warning up there? So, DON'T LEAVE. LET'S ENJOY IT 🌚


The banquet and celebration went on until late at night. It was a rare occasion so people tend to enjoy it a little longer. However, the emperor and the empress have excused themselves and letting others to continue.

Zhang Wei feels a little bit tipsy. He has rejected the toast from those ministers but still, some of them insisted and Zhang Wei can't back down showing his weak side. He gulps down every drop. Thus, causing his condition now.

He's not fully drunk but not fully sober. Xiu Ying has to support him walking to their bedchamber. A few times they almost stumble on the ground. Xiu Ying barely can hold Zhang Wei's weight.

Before entering the bedchamber, Xiu Ying asks Jing Yi to fetch a glass of warm water.

Xiu Ying lays Zhang Wei down on the bed slowly. In just a minute, Jing Yi returns with the water. "Alright. Thank you, Jing Yi. You may retreat to your room. I'm sure the General is waiting for you there." Jing Yi blushed. He quickly leaves the imperial couple alone.

Zhang Wei groans attract Xiu Ying's attention back. He's massaging his temple, feeling dizzy. Xiu Ying quickly takes out his medical box and pulls out a small net bag, like a teabag in the modern world and dipped it into the warm water. It will produce concoction-like water but only suitable for simple illnesses, such as headache, flu, fever and cough.

"Zhang Wei... wake up for a second. Drink this. It'll help to ease your headache." Xiu Ying sits on the space beside Zhang Wei, helping him to get up. He brings the bowl to Zhang Wei's lips. The latter immediately knitted his eyebrows due to the bitterness.

Xiu Ying puts aside the bowl and wipes off the corner of his mouth using his handkerchief. Soon, Zhang Wei dozed off. Xiu Ying takes off his shoes, headdress and also outer robe.

Going to the bathroom on the other side of the room, he takes a bowl of warm water from the water bath that the servant has prepared. He wipes Zhang Wei's face, neck, chest and arms. Done tending his drunk husband, Xiu Ying went to take a bath.

Inside the imperial bedchamber, there is a big bathtub that was separated by a large screen. The warm water released steam, making the place a little foggy.

Xiu Ying already takes off his headdress earlier and now he only wears an inner robe. He quickly takes it off and starts to dip his body into the water. Once his skin touched the water, Xiu Ying slightly moans. It is so refreshing. Xiu Ying scrubs his body all over, removing all the oil and dirt.

He feels like wants to sleep inside the bathtub. He reluctantly gets out of the tub after 30 minutes. He dried himself from top to toe, then wears the night robe.

When he steps out of the imperial bath, Zhang Wei is still deep in sleep. Xiu Ying sits in front of the dressing table continue wiping the remaining water on his hair. He did it until his hair fully dried. Only then, he blows out the candle and tucks himself under the quilt.

Xiu Ying just about to get a nice sleep but then an arm suddenly wrapping him tight. He heard a rustling sound from behind then suddenly he feels ticklish when someone's breath hit his nape.

"H-Hey... Why are you suddenly awake? You feel uncomfortable?" Xiu Ying taps on the arm around his tummy.

Zhang Wei nuzzles his nose on Xiu Ying's nape, inhaling his empress scent. He can never get enough of the addictive scent.

He hums. "Uncomfortable..." He mumbles.

"Still feel dizzy?" Xiu Ying looks over his shoulder. Zhang Wei still burying his face on his neck.
