Chapter 1785: Chapter 1785: Lying Through Her Teeth

Lu Hualiang tightened the hand around Xia Weibao’s waist, quickly leaping up with the woman in his arms and swiftly retreating backward.

They landed to the side, looking at the spot where they had just kissed, which was now being pummeled by four falling peach trees.

Lu Hualiang turned his head silently, "Wife, care to explain?"

Her Majesty the Empress’s small face turned as red as a peach, her eyes darting around nervously.

Looking at the sky and the ground, she dared not meet the man’s gaze.

"Well... the wind was too strong, blew the peach trees down..."

Lu Hualiang, "..."

Her ability to speak nonsense with open eyes seemed to have improved more than anything else.

Back in the room, Her Majesty the Empress’s face was still flushed with embarrassment, wanting to speak several times but stopping herself.

"It really wasn’t me who knocked them down; it was the wind."

Lu Hualiang replied with a look that said, ’Do I look like an idiot?’

Her Majesty the Empress gritted her teeth, her lady-like image was on the brink.

Shaking on the verge of collapse, it seemed she’d have to pay more attention in the future.

Lu Hualiang tossed her nightwear over, "Change and go to sleep."

Xia Weibao was just about to say she wasn’t tired, having slept so much during the day, there wasn’t even a hint of sleepiness.

But before she could speak, the man had already said, "Or you could sleep without wearing any clothes."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Weibao swiftly changed her clothes.

Changed in a second!

What a joke; how could anyone sleep without clothes?

She had thought that after sleeping so much today, plus having things on her mind, she’d have insomnia at night.

But unexpectedly, lying in the man’s embrace, inhaling that familiar male scent, she drifted into a fragrant dream in no time.

In a daze, she seemed to dream of some familiar scenes. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

By the clear stream between the mountains, willow catkins danced in the spring breeze.

On the grassy field where orioles flew, there seemed to be two people, one playing a flute, another dancing.

She felt like an outsider, standing mid-air, watching the hazy scene below through layers of mist, occasionally hearing the bell-like laughter of a girl.

The high-off ground made visibility poor.

She wanted to get closer but found her body immobile, which made her very anxious.

And very puzzled.

Her body trapped, her soul trapped, this helpless feeling left her very flustered and panicked.

Lu Hualiang had already fallen asleep but sensed the woman in his arms was restless, frowning as if struggling to wake up but unable to.

He frowned, glanced at her forehead glistening with cold sweat, and reached out to touch it, finding it cold.

What was going on, what kind of dream could have startled her into such a sweat?

"Wife."

He called softly, Xia Weibao didn’t respond, as if caught in a nightmare.

He reached out, gently shaking her arm, "Wife, wife."

With his voice slightly raised, Xia Weibao suddenly opened her eyes, sitting up forcefully from her waist.

With a face full of uncertainty, she blankly glanced around the room.

The familiar environment slowly stabilized her heart, which had just been in a panic.

Her gaze carried a hint of confusion and bewilderment.

Lu Hualiang also sat up, wrapping his arm around her shoulder, a barely noticeable frown on his brow, "What’s wrong?"

Xia Weibao was even more puzzled than he was, "What happened to me?"

"You just had a nightmare."

Xia Weibao looked blankly around, then her gaze fell on him, "I had a nightmare?"

What did she dream about, why couldn’t she remember anything?

"If you can’t remember, then don’t try. Just sleep, I’ll watch over you."

Since she’d woken up and couldn’t remember, it must be something she was unwilling to recall or of no importance, so why trouble herself over it?
