Chapter 80 She was too scared

Pei Tingyue moved her lips but said nothing.

Xie Chen looked down at her with a cold tone: "I am asking you a question."

Pei Tingyue hesitated for a moment, then took action. She took his palm and placed it on her face, then asked cautiously, "Did I do something wrong to make the emperor angry?"

Xie Chen's face was as cold as frost.

He threw back the quilt, got out of bed, and put on his pajamas in silence.

Pei Tingyue didn't have time to put on her clothes, so she moved to the edge of the couch, timidly grabbed Xie Chen's sleeve with snow-white piping, and asked again.

"Did I do something wrong to make the Emperor angry?"

Xie Chen brushed her off and continued putting on his clothes.

Pei Tingyue sat on the bed at a loss.

When Xie Chen walked out, she ignored the cold ground and got off the bed. She hugged Xie Chen's thin waist tightly, her voice full of panic, "I will not let the emperor leave."

Xie Chen lowered his eyes, looking at the slender hands around his waist. He said in an unclear tone, "It's been a day, and this is the only sentence you truly said to me."

Pei Tingyue seemed not to understand.

Xie Chen turned around, and the coldness in his voice faded a lot: "You really make me very angry."

Pei Tingyue's face instantly lost color.

She took two steps back, as if she couldn't support herself and was about to fall.

She shook her head, bit her lip and slowly lowered her head.

When Xie Chen saw her face suddenly turn pale, he realized something was wrong and swallowed back the words of scolding he was about to say.

"Tingyue?"

"Tingyue?"

After calling her twice, she lowered her head and still did not respond.

Xie Chen frowned, took out his robe and put it on her, then held her in his arms and sat back down on the bed.

He lowered his head and took a closer look, and was really frightened.

The woman looked like her soul had been taken away. Her face was extremely pale, her pupils were dilated, and there were traces of tears on her face. Her lower lip had been bitten until it bled, and blood was flowing down the corners of her lips. She was in a very abnormal state.

Xie Chen's heart tightened. He tried calling out twice more, but there was still no response. He looked at her again, and her face was a bit purple against the bloody background.

Xie Chen finally knew where the problem lay.

He quickly stretched out two knuckles and forced them between her lips and teeth. He held her closer and coaxed her, "Tingyue, breathe."

Hearing the call, Pei Tingyue's eyes slowly focused and the numbness in his body gradually subsided.

Seeing this, Xie Chen reached out and probed inside again, preventing her from closing her lips and teeth: "Listen to me, take a breath."

Pei Tingyue did as he was told.

The fresh air seeped into her lungs, and the dull pain in her chest immediately disappeared. She gradually came back to her senses, and her peach blossom eyes also regained their luster.

Xie Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The belated panic and pain overwhelmed him. His hands and feet trembled uncontrollably and became weak, and his internal organs were filled with intense pain.

Nobody knows.

How frightened was this emperor who had all the power in the world when he saw the person in his arms fall into a coma.

Xie Chen pulled his fingers back, hugged the person in his arms tightly, and rocked her slowly to comfort her. He showed unprecedented patience and tenderness: "Tingyue, it's okay. I'm here. I'm not going anywhere. I'll just hold us Tingyue and accompany us Tingyue."

These words were to comfort Pei Tingyue and also to comfort himself.

Pei Tingyue finally stopped shaking, and her expression returned to normal. She lowered her head and sobbed, "Have I made the Emperor angry again?"

Xie Chen wanted to wipe her tears, but just as he touched her finger, he found that his finger was bitten and bleeding. He paused, put his finger down, and wiped her tears with his sleeve: "No, Tingyue is so good, she didn't make me angry."

Pei Tingyue's eyes were as red as a little rabbit. She said pitifully, "But the emperor said that you were angry."

Xie Chen shook his head: "I said the wrong thing."

Pei Tingyue's mood improved, and she whispered, "Really?"

Xie Chen answered her patiently: "Yes."

Pei Tingyue stopped crying and nestled in his arms, even clinging closer. Her nose was a little red, and she spoke with a thick voice of tears: "Then, Your Majesty, do you think that I was really well behaved today?"

"good."

Pei Tingyue hugged him and said, "I will be a better person in the future. Please don't abandon me."

Xie Chen closed his eyes.

He understood early on where her abnormal behavior today came from.

It was simply because she saw how much he doted on Concubine Liang yesterday and was afraid she would fall out of favor, so she was trying to please him in every way. The reason he was a little angry was because she could have acted like a spoiled child, been jealous, or even asked him openly, instead of suppressing herself and sacrificing herself like this.

But after this incident, Xie Chen now fully understood her abnormality.

She was too scared to take any chances.

So she didn't dare to act coquettishly, didn't dare to be jealous, and even more so didn't dare to ask him. She could only try to please him clumsily, fearing that he would get angry or annoyed.

So, this is my reaction when I hear him say he is angry.

Because she didn't understand why he was still angry when she had obviously tried everything to keep him.

Xie Chen suppressed the sourness in his throat and kissed her slowly, from his collarbone to his face, inch by inch, with soft kisses falling continuously.

"I won't abandon Tingyue."

Pei Tingyue seemed worried: "Really?"

"real."

Pei Tingyue relaxed completely, and before she could catch her breath, Xie Chen said, "But I don't like Tingyue today."

Pei Tingyue froze, her face turning pale again: "But Your Majesty... Your Majesty said that I am a very well behaved concubine..."

Xie Chen was afraid that she would do that again, so he gently stroked her back: "Not just today, in my eyes, Tingyue has always been very well behaved."

Pei Tingyue's brows were filled with confusion: "Then why don't you like it?"

Xie Chen looked at her and said, "Because the one I'm with today isn't Tingyue."

Pei Tingyue frowned: "It's my concubine..."

Xie Chen covered her mouth and explained, "Today's Tingyue is wearing a mask, not real."

Pei Tingyue stopped talking, she seemed to understand a little.

Xie Chen said in a very gentle tone, "I prefer the real Tingyue from the past."

Pei Tingyue blinked her eyes: "If this concubine becomes real, will the emperor not abandon her?"

"The most important thing we cannot lose is the real Tingyue."

Pei Tingyue was happy now, her eyes curved: "Okay, since the emperor doesn't like it, then I will never act like this again."

After explaining the matter, Xie Chen ordered someone to bring ointment and wanted to apply it on her lips, but she stopped him.

"how?"

Pei Tingyue's eyes sparkled as she looked up at him and said, "You should kiss me first before applying the makeup. The Emperor didn't kiss me today."

Xie Chen chuckled: "It will hurt."

"No matter what!" Pei Tingyue said shamelessly, "I want to kiss you."

Xie Chen raised his brows slightly and moved closer.

He didn't leave until she was dizzy. He wiped the water off her lips and asked softly, "Is that enough?"

Pei Tingyue nodded shyly.

After Xie Chen applied medicine on her lips, he placed her on the couch and brought over another bottle of ointment. He had just been angry and had applied a bit too much force, so her lips would swell if he didn't apply the medicine.

Pei Tingyue held his hand and said, "Don't apply the medicine first."

Xie Chen looked up in confusion.

Pei Tingyue's face was flushed with anger. She looked away, and her meaning was obvious.
