Chapter 81

Inside the quiet carriage, the smoke from the incense burner lingered and spread, entangled in people's breath.

Xu Mohuai raised his head slightly, breathing rapidly and chaotically. His Adam's apple rolled, his brows furrowed slightly, and there was a hint of unbearableness in his breath.

The afterglow dissipated, and his fingers withdrew from Su Yan's black hair. His eyes were slightly wet, and there was a touch of red at the corners of his eyes. He leaned over to look at her.

Su Yan still felt aggrieved in the disgust, and tears were forced from the corners of her eyes. She knelt down on the soft blanket and retched. Xu Mohuai also knew that he had gone too far just now. Seeing her reaction like this now, in addition to being embarrassed and annoyed, he also felt an unpleasant embarrassment.

"Okay." He opened Su Yan's face, pried open her lips with his thumb, and inserted a finger under Su Yan's resisting gaze, looking for one of her sharp teeth. "I'll have your teeth polished for you."

Su Yan's face turned red, she slapped his hand away, and said angrily: "My own teeth are growing well, what do you do to me?" "

It hurts them. It hurts me." Xu Mohuai said calmly.

Su Yan said angrily: "You deserve it."

He probably enjoyed it and didn't care about her. He ordered someone to bring hot water in and gave Su Yan cold tea to rinse her mouth.

She lowered her head, her slightly wet hair pressed against her cheek. Xu Mohuai could still see the reddish corners of her mouth, and her breathing slowly slowed down.

Su Yan wrung out the wet handkerchief, wiped her cheeks vigorously, and then wiped her neck, as if she was trying to remove a layer of skin. In the end, her skin was red from the rubbing. Xu Mohuai behind him probably couldn't see past her, so he stretched out his arms to pull her into his arms.

"It seems that I have never taken you to the palace in Luoyang." Xu Mohuai didn't like the palace in Luoyang. Even the last time he went to Luoyang, he only went to his grandfather's house and not the palace.

He thought of something and his tone became much lighter. "My mother liked it there, and I spent several years there when I was a child."

He rarely mentioned his own affairs to Su Yan. Just like every time he had fun, Xu Mohuai stripped her clean, but he He was still neatly dressed and his hair was not messy. He gave himself room to escape at any time.

She knew everything about Su Yan, but Su Yan knew very little about him. Most of them came from rumors from others, so Xu Mohuai's life experience was also elusive to her.

"There is something strange about the civil unrest in Heluo and other places. We may have to stay in Luoyang for a while." He hugged Su Yan with a hint of joy in his tone. "The scenery in Luoyang is nice. If you like it, I will take you around when I have some free time. There is a thousand-year-old ginkgo tree in the palace, and the leaves fall like gold in autumn. I think you will like it when you see it."

——

Floods in Heluo and other places affected many people. When Xu Mohuai arrived in Luoyang, he was busy with official duties. Su Yan had not seen him a few times, and most of the time he was closely watched by his attendants.

The palace in Luoyang was very large, and many of the palace residents had their hair turned white. When they saw Su Yan, they couldn't help but look at her curiously.
