Chapter 41 Chapter 41 Lingchuan inserts death flag into himself...

"Don't you always think I'm embarrassing?"

Lingchuan covered his chest which was heaving up and down and said angrily.

Gu Shike was really despicable. In this way, all the mistakes he had made in the past six years were completely wiped out.

"Don't get angry... Lingchuan, you're pregnant now, it's not good to get angry."

He patted her back gently.

"If I don't make it public, Qin Sizhao will really think that he can control me with some unfounded reputation."

His eyes darkened and he continued:

"By revealing your identity, I'm telling him that his dirty tricks are completely ineffective. They'll just spark gossip for a while. I'm not afraid."

"But aren't you always the thinnest-skinned?"

"Hmph, I'm not that stupid... I can still tell what's more important."

"Well, if you don't feel embarrassed, I do. If you want to make it public, go ahead and make it public. Don't drag me into it."

"No, you are my wife, so of course you have to pray with me."

Lingchuan's face turned red to her ears. She was just an ordinary citizen, and asking her to accept the worship of civil and military officials was a bit beyond her psychological endurance.

In particular, many officials have white hair and wrinkles all over their faces.

Groups of elderly people knelt down before her like a tide, and she really couldn't bear this blessing.

Her eyes turned and she saw the fake death drug on the dressing table.

There may be another queen in this palace who dies suddenly shortly after receiving homage from civil and military officials.

Lingchuan raised the corner of his mouth maliciously and whispered in his ear:

"I'm just a commoner. If I accept the worship of so many people, it will shorten my lifespan... I don't have the blessing of being an empress."

She couldn't help but giggle. It was such a shame that she couldn't see what she looked like when she faked her own death.

"What are you afraid of? If I say you are the queen, you are the queen. Since I fell in love with you at first sight, it proves that you are destined to be the queen."

Lingchuan's eyes widened slightly in surprise and he said:

"Why? You really fell in love with me at first sight? I wasn't even fifteen that year."

"Yeah, really."

Lingchuan recalled.

"I wasn't very good-looking when I was fourteen. How did you know I was a girl?"

The scenes from that year appeared vaguely in Lingchuan's mind.

She was wearing a coarse cloth shorts that were convenient for work, her hair was combed in a boy's style, and she was squatting at the door, eating noodles in a hurry.

Her mother slapped her head suddenly and said:

"Little bastard, a distinguished guest has come today, why don't you treat him well?"

She was hit so hard that the noodles she was eating almost spit out of her nose. When she looked up, she saw Gu Shi wearing a moon-white dress.

Gu Shi was sixteen at the time, right at the dividing line between boyhood and manhood. His bones had not yet fully grown, but he had already begun to show signs of a broad frame.

He had handsome eyes, well-shaped eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and was extraordinarily handsome. He exuded an aura that Lingchuan had never seen before.

She still remembered that he was surrounded by an expensive fragrance, a fragrance she had never smelled before, and she was dazzled for a moment.

She smelled Gu Shi's neck. Yes, he had this kind of incense on him at that time.

But now she is tired of the smell.

"You're talking nonsense. When have you ever been ugly?"

"I still remember the first time I saw you. You were wearing an orange dress embroidered with gold thread. I only caught a glimpse of you, but I've never forgotten you."

Lingchuan covered his stomach and laughed:

"You're talking nonsense! We can't find a single piece of clothing with gold thread on it in our family."

She giggled:

"Even if you sell our whole family, we still can't afford a dress like this."

Lingchuan turned around, hooked her arms around his neck, and said with a smile:

"That orange-red dress embroidered with gold thread you mentioned was clearly bought for me to coax me into bed with you. Your memory is so bad, you could even go back to my grandmother's house..."

She patted Gu Shi's head and continued:

"I was wearing shorts, didn't look very good, and was just squatting on the ground eating noodles. Do you remember?"

"No……"

Gu Shi simply couldn't imagine Lingchuan being ugly.

"Oh, I see. You forgot everything about me before we slept together, but you remembered it after we slept together."

"Can you please not be so vulgar?"

Gu Shi was angry and his face turned red. He really couldn't remember at all what Lingchuan looked like when he first met her.

"Why? Is there a polite way to say that?"

Gu Shi asked angrily:

"Why didn't you tell me you had a fiancé? Did you deliberately deceive my feelings?"

Lingchuan thought that Qin Sizhao was one year younger than her. He was only thirteen that year and had not yet started to grow. He looked like a complete child. Although her mother had arranged the marriage, she had always treated him as an errand boy and had no feelings for him at all.

Although she didn't want to admit it, after meeting the sixteen-year-old Gu Shi, Lingchuan completely forgot about Qin Sizhao and quickly fell in love with someone else.

But she didn't expect that one day, she would transfer this feeling back. The two feelings intertwined and entangled with each other, making her miserable.

“I was young at the time and didn’t understand.”

She laughed it off, trying to get over the matter.

"So how far did you get before? Did you kiss?"

He put his arms around her neck and asked jealously.

"I can't remember clearly. He was only thirteen at the time, still a little kid... half a head shorter than me. We were just kids playing together."

"If that's the case, why would he still miss you after all these years?"

The flickering candlelight reflected the small white bottle containing the fake death drug, emitting a layer of orange-red light.

Lingchuan felt heavy in her heart. The fiancé she had chosen as a child, who was like playing house, had indeed been thinking about her all these years.

"Maybe it's because my mother did him a favor, and he just wants to repay her..."

"Oh, if he really wanted to repay me, why would he want to take you away from me? Can't I give you more wealth and glory than him?"

"He thought you didn't want to marry me."

"Do you think I believe it? The way he looks at me is wrong... He's definitely not giving up yet. I'm only sparing him for your sake..."

"Then you should look upon my face more."

She turned Gu Shi's head and forced him to look into her eyes.

"Let's take a closer look."

"Can I watch it forever?"

Lingchuan smiled and said:

"You can see... well, until the day I die."

She held back her laughter and looked at the fake death drug. Gu Shi could still see her for 49 days.

Gu Shi thought Lingchuan was promising to stay with him forever, so he hugged her, feeling a sweet feeling in his heart.

"That's good."

She hugged Gu Shi back with evil intentions. During these 49 days, she wanted to make Gu Shi fall into the sweetest dream, and then crush Gu Shi's dream with her own death.

"Gu Shi, I now feel that being your wife is also very good. Maybe this is destiny."

She obediently rested her head on his shoulder and said in a sweet tone.

"Why, you're starting to like wealth and glory, aren't you?"

"No, it has nothing to do with your status. I just think you are a good person."

She kissed the side of his face.

"Really? I'm not lying. You're the only one in the world who can handle my feelings. Anyone else would just be attracted by my beauty, and after a few days with me, they'd be scared by my temper."

Lingchuan stroked his hair tenderly, his heart beating fast because of gloating.

She was eager to make Gu Shi feel that she was deeply in love with him and had no other intentions towards him.

The more he suffered for her, the more sinful pleasure welled up in her heart.

Although she didn't want to admit it, torturing Gu Shi did make her happy.

"Indeed, I am the only one who knows that you are a little crazy."

Gu Shi blushed slightly and kissed her eyes with a smile.

"But I just like your madness. I like it no matter how you treat me."

"I am truly honored..."

Lingchuan kissed his earlobe and whispered in his ear.

He hugged her. She had never said such words to him before. The happiness came too suddenly, making him a little frightened. So he asked:

"Then you don't blame me for being unfair to you first?"

"I blame you, of course I blame you, but I just blame you for not loving me. Before, I always didn't believe that you loved me, but now that I really have your love, I am naturally satisfied."

She was extremely excited. The pill had its own medicinal fragrance, and she felt that she could almost smell the scent of death.

Looking at Gu Shi's satisfied smile, Lingchuan touched the corners of his slightly upturned mouth and thought that this could truly be called a bloody and cruel punishment.

He fell into a deep sleep filled with a warm feeling of happiness. He slept exceptionally well that night, as if a huge weight had been lifted off his heart.

In the morning, Lingchuan stared at Gu Shi's back and chuckled, but Gu Shi was completely unaware of Lingchuan's malice and gloating. He just thought that she was determined to be with him, so he went to court in high spirits.

Gu Shi looked at Qin Sizhao and thought that he was just an average-looking guy, nothing special about him.

He thought of Lingchuan's promise last night and his sweet words, and his heart was filled with sweetness.

With Lingchuan's love and promise, he felt confident.

He and Lingchuan have been together for six years, and he knows her temperament best. They have long since become the two most suitable people for each other. Qin Sizhao is just an uninvited guest, how can he compare with him.

He just glanced at him calmly and no longer stared at him viciously like before.

Qin Sizhao is just being sentimental. What else can he do?

Could it be possible that a weak scholar like him could kidnap Lingchuan right under his nose?

It's simply funny. This kind of pedantic and bookish man can't bear Lingchuan's love at all. Even if they really get together, he will regret it soon. Lingchuan will eventually change his mind and look for him, not for anything else, just because they are a destined couple.

He just overestimated his own abilities, so he naturally didn't need to take it to heart. After all, he was the only one worthy of being Lingchuan's husband.
