Xiana was sleeping on her stomach, her right arm resting above Licheng's chest. Licheng gradually opened his eyes and the last night's memories flashed in front of his eyes.
They kissed each other before going to bed. Xiana kept talking to him while he only listened to her. When they both fell asleep, he didn't remember about it.
He tilted his head and found Xiana sleeping beside him in a strange position. He gently made her sleep on her back, making sure not to disturb her sleep. Later, he lay down again and placed her hand back on his chest before shutting his eyes.
He could hear the whispers from outside the bedchamber among Court Lady Zifu and Eunuch Jize. "I think they both stayed awake till late. That's why they haven't woken up yet," Court Lady Zifu said.
"But we didn't hear any noises," Eunuch Jize countered.
"We are from the door. It is impossible to hear noises from such a distance," Court Lady Zifu answered.
