The moment the Gu worm got close to the luminous pearl, it immediately went in.
Xia Ling looked up carefully. There was a small hole on the outer shell of the luminous pearl, and there was also a trace of a black shadow inside.
Lying on the couch, the top of the head was directly facing the Gu worm.
Even if the Gu worm was raised by herself, when she thought of the thing on her head, she would not be able to sleep well, right?
Xia Ling got up, took the luminous pearl down, put it into the box, and hid it in the makeup cabinet.

The next day, when the moon rose, Yin Tingyan came again.
Now, there was only Xia Ling in the harem. Other than managing the palace maids and eunuchs, there were no other palace duties. So when it got dark, Xia Ling, who had nothing to do, washed and went to sleep.
When Yin Tingyan came in, he did not hide the sound of his footsteps.
But when he reached the side of the bed, the woman lying on the side of the bed still did not have the slightest reaction!
"Cough!" He clenched his fist and coughed.
Xia Ling woke up from her sleep. She sat up and the thin quilt slipped off her body.
"Your Majesty!" Xia Ling got up and got off the bed. She called out to Yin Tingyan.
Her black hair draped over her shoulders, and her entire person exuded a languid beauty.
Yin Tingyan had previously reminded himself not to indulge in Xia Ling's beauty. Who would have thought that the next day, his self-control would be broken!
"Empress! Come to me!" Yin Tingyan's voice was dry and hoarse, and his eyes were burning with passion. He insisted on putting on a cold front towards Xia Ling.
Xia Ling looked at him and smiled.
"Your Majesty, I'm sleepy. If you don't come over, I'll go to sleep."
She turned around and returned to the bed. She lifted the thin blanket and looked like she was really going to sleep.
A strong force came from behind her. The man's broad palm was like a soldering iron, and Xia Ling was instantly pushed onto the bed.
The Phoenix Perch Palace did not have a lantern. Without the illumination of the night pearls, they could only lean against the bright moonlight outside the window.
The light on the bed was cold and hazy.
There were two figures on the bed, and they did not sleep the whole night.
...
Time passed a little quickly. Yin Tingyan got down from the bed with a very bad expression and went to the hot spring pool to soak himself.
This time, without waiting for him to shout, Xia Ling also entered the hot spring pool.
Yin Tingyan was in the east, while Xia Ling stayed in the west.
Knowing that she had defeated Yin Tingyan's pride once again, Xia Ling's lips curled up, and her smile under the moonlight became even brighter.
The impatient Yin Tingyan soaked in the hot spring pool for a while.
Yesterday, he could clearly turn a blind eye to women, but today...
Yin Tingyan became exceptionally sharp-witted. This made him feel somewhat humiliated, as if he had lost to a woman.
The more he listened, the more impatient he became. Yin Tingyan got up, put on his robe, and left the Phoenix Perch Palace without looking back.
"System, do you think the Devil King left me like this because he hates me or because he likes me?"
Leisurely staying in the hot spring, Xia Ling soaked in the hot spring and watched Yin Tingyan leave in a hurry.
Ling Ling's lips curled up again.
She guessed that Yin Tingyan was starting to like her.

After more than a month of their wedding, the palace began to work on the talent show.
Xia Ling had clearly said that she would not interfere in this matter. Yin Tingyan's harsh words were, 'You are not the only concubine in the palace!'
However, Xia Ling was indeed the only concubine in the palace. Regarding the harem, he was tired of running around, so in the end, he asked the empress dowager for help.
At that time, the empress dowager was preparing to go on a trip with the retired emperor. She was very unhappy when she was obstructed by Yin Tingyan's trivial matters.
