Xie Jianyu's day was the same as always, but the Crown Prince was unable to focus on anything.
He did not have much of an appetite, even sleep failed to offer its usual solace.
He only felt slightly better when his husband came home that night, and the first question he asked Zhang Fengxi was, "Did you come back from Longjing Palace?"
Lips curving into a smile, Zhang Fengxi draped an arm around Xie Jianyu and pulled him close.
"Yes. Are you worried about Mingrui?"
"I wonder if he's studying well," Xie Jianyu said. "Did he cause any kind of trouble to Palace Master Zhang and Lady Song?"
Zhang Fengxi arched a brow at his wife.
"Is that all?"
Xie Jianyu averted his gaze and pressed his lips together into a tight line. No matter how many years they had been married to each other, Xie Jianyu never liked to display any sign of weakness.
It included the weakness of the heart.
