Married for only half a year, the newly eighteen-year-old Qi Su became a young widow, and a notorious one at that. Delicate and alluring, her beauty was a double-edged sword, one that ultimately hu...
It was just a chance encounter, a mere chance meeting.
Unexpectedly, Qi Su had already walked several steps away.
The tea server hurried after him.
He looked troubled.
“This, my lady, that gentleman just now, that was him…”
He made a gesture, pointing to the face, the person whose face was covered in blood.
He said that he seemed to have met his wife before and wanted to say a few words to her.
That makes no sense.
This young lady came to Fenglelou for tea, and although she concealed her name, the servants all knew it.
This is the Princess Consort of Qishan.
The Prince of Qishan was certainly not comparable to the new emperor's own sons.
However, he also enjoys a high reputation among the common people.
The tea master naturally refused outright.
But those people immediately turned around and carried a person covered in blood to catch up with them.
The tea server was so frightened that he quickly stopped them.
What kind of behavior is this?
Although there are few customers on the flybridge at this time, it can still be quite unsightly if it gets chaotic.
He looked at Qi Su.
"My lady, please leave for a while, and I'll find someone to stop them."
But then the young lady, surrounded by her maids, smiled.
She seems to have a very good temper.
"He wants to see me? Sure, no need for that. I'll see him myself."
"My lady!" Lady Song disagreed.
Qi Su patted the back of her hand reassuringly.
"Don't worry, he won't dare to do anything reckless, or he'll lose his head."
…
As expected, the men who had carried Shen Qingyu over brought him back with long faces.
Young Master Shen grinned.
The teeth were covered in blood.
Qi Su covered her face with a fan, only revealing her eyes to sized him up.
Tsk tsk, that's terrible.
She didn't hold back in making fun of him.
"How did you end up worse off than a dog?"
Shen Qingyu coughed twice and then laughed.
He laughed without a care in the world.
"This is nothing compared to what you did when you threw me into the coffin."
Qi Su: "Does it hurt?"
Shen Qingyu looked at Qi Su with sparkling eyes.
"It was a little painful at first, but seeing you suddenly made me feel much better."
"I learned a lot of new ways to play from them, and we'll try them out when the time comes."
Qi Su waved her fan to indicate her refusal.
"Thank you, but no need. I don't like perverts."
Shen Qingyu smiled.
"You still care about me. You're still willing to stop and talk to me."
Qi Su: "Seeing you in such a miserable state, it's quite amusing to laugh at you. Life in Ganjing must be tough, right? The Song family isn't here to clean up your messes anymore."
Shen Qingyu laughed and said, "Ganjing is fun. Much more fun than the Northwest."
He said it was funny, but blood was still dripping from the corner of his mouth.
Qi Su: "You've said your piece, so get out of here. My husband doesn't allow me to talk to madmen."
Shen Qingyu: "You've gotten married again. Did you receive the gift I gave you? Did you like it?"
He was catching his breath, his gaze fixed intently on Qi Su.
"Once I'm feeling better, I'll make a big coffin, knock you out, put you in it, and take you back to Jincheng."
Qi Su waved her fan and gave him a cold glance.
"Let's get your skin healed first."
Only then did Lady Song realize that the eerie blood doll in the coffin on the windowsill was the reason for the princess's wedding.
It was given to me by the person in front of me.
…
Shen Qingyu watched Qi Su leave.
Even though she scolded me, I was in a good mood and still very happy.
The people carrying him had mixed emotions.
"Young master, what was that just now..."
Shen Qingyu laughed: "That's my sweetheart. What do you think? Isn't she exceptionally beautiful and has a wonderful personality?"
It is beautiful, though.
Whether someone has a good personality is a matter of opinion.
Servant: "Young master's beloved, no, Lord Xu?"
Shen Qingyu immediately stopped laughing and cursed:
"Pah, you blind fool. That old dog, who does he think he is?"
That's enough.
The servants dared not utter a word.
The world of the wealthy is completely incomprehensible to ordinary people.
.
Until Qi Su and the others boarded the carriage.
Lady Song then asked, "Should we inform His Highness about today's matter?"
Qi Su hugged her pillow and rested.
"It's nothing serious, just say what you want to say. I'm afraid he already knows."
I wonder what the King of Qishan has been busy with these past few days.
After leaving a government post, there was always a banquet.
Today it's the Fifth Prince, tomorrow it's the Eighth Prince, or there might be another prince from the imperial clan at any given time.
It was already past midnight when we got back home.
After taking a bath, Qi Su sat on the edge of the bed in a single layer of clothing, waiting for him.
The Buddha Heart Nest was nestled beside her.
After Qi Su peeled and dried the small shrimp, feed them to it.
…
Before the King of Qishan had returned, Yan Xiaosi had something to report.
Because of the incident involving Qi Su's male lover that occurred a few days ago when she had amnesia.
The Black Birds are now extremely careful to avoid any appearance of impropriety with the Queen.
Yan Xiaosi reported directly from outside the window.
The matter that Qi Su asked us to investigate has yielded some results.
"She was indeed a woman from Southern Chu. She usually lived in the Zhenfu Division and rarely went out or had contact with outsiders."
“But every few days, Qin Shang would take her around Ganjing, the location of which was not fixed.”
"The last time I went out was yesterday."
After replying.
Yan Xiaosi disappeared into the night like a large bird.
Qi Su lowered her eyes.
He absentmindedly stroked the surface of the Buddha's heart.
I wonder what he's thinking.
.
The door was pushed open.
Yun Wuyi walked in, bathed in moonlight.
Qi Su looked up, picked up the Buddha Heart, and made the cat prostrate itself on the ground.
"Welcome back to Your Highness."
Yun Wuyi glanced at her and said calmly, "No need for formalities."
Qi Su held the cat and made a gesture of blessing.
"Your Highness, I thank you."
Eek—the cat twisted its body and slapped out with its paw, Divine Metal!
Qi Su presented His Highness Prince Qishan with dried shrimp specially made for cats.
His Highness said he had already eaten and there was no need to trouble himself.
After the couple finished arguing, they got down to business.
Qi Su: "The palace sent me an invitation. The Crown Princess is hosting a flower-viewing banquet and invited me to attend tomorrow."
Yun Wuyi: "You want to go?"
Qi Su: "Let's find some fun. If I don't go, they'll think I'm scared. But if I do go, many people in the palace will dislike me. Should I take action, or should I take action?"
Yun Wuyi: "If anyone bullies you, don't hold back, just fight back."
Qi Su: "Really?"
Yun Wuyi: "It's true. No matter what you do, your husband will always cover for you."
Qi Su rubbed her little hands together.
Oh my, His Highness the Prince of Qishan suddenly seems so majestic!
…
Yun Wuyi took off his outer robe and was about to take a bath.
The person beside the bed suddenly called out to him.
"Wait a minute."
Her voice sounded very serious, as if she had something to tell him.
Yun Wuyi stopped and jumped off the bed.
She threw herself into his arms.
She stretched out her arms and hugged him, hanging her whole body on him.
Clouds without shadows...
He didn't say anything, but slowly closed his arms around her and held her quietly for a while.
The moonlight shone in through the window.
The two shadows overlapped, sweet and affectionate.
A moment later, the person in her arms let go, her eyes crinkling with laughter.
"Alright, you can go now."
Yun Wuyi raised an eyebrow slightly.
Then he heard his wife complain, seemingly genuinely but actually not, "Oh, I haven't held you for days, I miss you."
Yun Wuyi's Adam's apple bobbed.
He looked at her with deep eyes.
He whispered, "Wait for me to take a bath."
After saying that, he turned and went to the washroom.
Qi Su: ...and so on.
Why do you seem to have misunderstood?
That's not what I meant! I was just teasing you a little!
