Chapter 153 I Grow Old with the Holy Monk (37)
Li Qi and Du Qianyu were very happy when they learned that Sang Tian's illness was cured. The Li family was very wealthy and directly sent ten thousand taels of gold as incense money to Longming Temple.
Sang Tian said that she really couldn't understand the world of rich people.
When she left with Li Qi and others, the emperor actually sent someone to look for her.
As soon as they met, the emperor reached out and took off her veil. Seeing Sang Tian, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, the emperor felt a sour feeling in his heart.
He reached out to touch Sang Tian's thin face but was avoided.
Sang Tian put on her veil indifferently and took a step back, keeping a distance from the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I will take my leave first."
Sang Tian squatted down, bowed and left.
The emperor wanted to keep her but ultimately he couldn't say the words he wanted to say.
He knew that he had been biased towards Xia Qingli all these years because he had been negligent in disciplining Sang Tian, which led to her having such a naughty temper.
It's not that he didn't send people to look for Sang Tian after she disappeared, but just because he couldn't find her doesn't mean he no longer has this daughter in his heart.
Even if Sang Tian heard these words from the emperor, she would not stay. Late love will never be presentable.
She will only love someone who truly loves her.
After Sang Tian left, the emperor sat on the ground dejectedly. The eunuch standing beside him hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
The emperor smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I have lost a child."
The eunuch's gaze also shifted to Sang Tian's departing back, and he sighed softly and sat down beside the emperor.
As soon as Sang Tian walked out of the palace, she saw Guan Yi standing behind Du Qianyu. She looked at Li Qi with wide eyes in confusion.
Li Qi hurriedly explained: "The holy monk said that your condition is still unstable and you need to be observed at home for a while."
Du Qianyu was afraid that Sang Tian would refuse to help, so she agreed.
Sang Tian's eyes moved to Guan Yi's face, and Guan Yi tilted his head slightly and smiled gently at Sang Tian.
Even when going back, Guanyi had to ride in the same carriage with her.
Li Qi refused to sit with them on the grounds that Du Qianyu was not feeling well. Sang Tian always felt something was wrong but couldn't put her finger on it.
Sang Tian felt uncomfortable sitting next to Guan Yi. Her face felt itchy and she wanted to scratch it, but she didn't dare to lift the veil of Guan Yi.
Guan Yi sat next to her with his eyes closed, his handsome face calm.
"Why is Miss Du staring at me? Is there something dirty on my face?" Guan Yi's voice rang out in the quiet carriage.
Guan Yi had his eyes closed but he could still sense that she was looking at him. What a damn intuition.
Sang Tian snorted proudly and wrapped her arms around herself, not feeling the slightest bit of embarrassment about being caught peeking.
"I didn't peek at you! Don't say anything nonsense. You are a monk at least, so stop slandering me!"
Guan Yi slowly opened his eyes, his eyes glowing with a lustrous look that made people's hearts beat faster. He turned his head and looked at Sang Tian, "Miss Du Er, did you really not see it?"
Sang Tian didn't expect Guan Yi to look at her suddenly, and those restrictive images began to emerge in her mind again.
The blush climbed up her neck to her face. If she looked at him again, she would lose control of the urge to touch Guan Yi.
She turned her head, wrung her hands together, lowered her head, and cast her eyes downward, not daring to look again.
Guan Yi's voice sounded like a seductive finger in Sang Tian's ear, "Since you didn't peek, why didn't Miss Du dare to look at me?"
Sang Tian wanted to continue to be stubborn, but Guan Yi suddenly reached out and pinched her chin and kept moving closer. The ambiguous look in their eyes continued to squeeze the atmosphere in the car.
Sang Tian felt like she was almost unable to breathe. She closed her eyes tightly as Guan Yi's voice kept stimulating her nerves in her ears.
The warm breath from Guan Yi made Sang Tian tremble all over, "Can you stay away from me?"
Sang Tian helplessly grasped the fabric on her legs.
"What if I don't want to?"
