Chapter 109 Playthings

Pei Yan was just afraid that she had not recovered from her illness yet and would not let her recover from the disease, so he wanted to wait a few more days.

Hearing her say this, his eyes darkened and he no longer showed pity.

*

Jiang Shuyi wanted to be really tired, preferably so tired that she would not care about being sad and would fall asleep directly.

She just kept talking tough.

Even if he couldn't hold on any longer, he still had to encourage Pei Yan.

Pei Yan looked at her with gloomy eyes. Jiang Shuyi looked at him with tears in her eyes. She was about to continue saying that it was not enough, but he lowered his head and stopped her from saying anything.

"Jiang Shuyi, I am very unhappy."

When Jiang Shuyi finally had a chance to breathe, Pei Yan leaned over and spoke in a hoarse voice beside her ear.

"Every time I do this with you, I am in a good mood. If I feel a little unhappy, I will not sleep with you. But today you are treating me like a toy."

Jiang Shuyi was afraid that he would leave, so she cried and shook her head: "Your Majesty is not a plaything..."

"How can it not be a toy? When my mother is angry, she will smash many bowls and plates. Now, to you, I am no different from those bowls and plates. We are just objects that can be used to vent anger."

Jiang Shuyi cried even louder.

"I know you are sad. I will satisfy you today, but I will remember this and punish you later."

Jiang Shuyi wanted to ask him what kind of punishment it was, but she no longer had the chance.

*

In the end, Jiang Shuyi fell asleep as she wished.

I didn't dream about anything anymore.

But she had thought a lot of things through in her mind.

It was my aunt who took Jiang Wanqing away last night. Before leaving, she came to tell her not to be sad or feel guilty.

It’s great that Jiang Wanqing hurt me so much, but after her death, she can still be taken away by my aunt. My aunt will scold her and beat her a few times, but no matter what, I will never abandon my daughter.

Jiang Shuyi was no longer sad or guilty. She was a little jealous and a little aggrieved...

I didn't know how long I slept in this deep sleep.

I was half asleep and felt hot. I wanted to kick off the quilt, but someone held me down and covered me up again.

I could hear someone talking in my ear, but I couldn't hear it clearly.

She was groggy and couldn't wake up. She was extremely sleepy and felt hot and dry, with a slight bitter taste in her mouth.

She wanted to kick the quilt off again, but this time the soles of her feet felt itchy, so she shrank back suddenly and hid under the quilt again.

After shrinking for a while, he tried to go out again, but was grabbed at the ankle and tickled two or three times.

It was not enough to clear Jiang Shuyi's dizzy mind, but it made her whimper a few times.

My feet were put back under the quilt, and a familiar voice sounded in my ears: "Behave yourself, you are sweating, and you will be beaten if you stretch your feet again."

After hearing that it was Pei Yan, Jiang Shuyi calmed down, but she still felt uncomfortable and uneasy.

A hand that was much cooler than hers entered the quilt. Jiang Shuyi grabbed it immediately, but still felt it was not enough, so she pulled the arm in as well and hugged it tightly.

Only then did he calm down, and his consciousness sank and he fell asleep again.

I woke up completely in the evening of one day.

Jiang Shuyi opened her eyes with great effort and saw the fiery red sunset reflected in the bed curtains.

She only moved slightly, and a surprised voice came from beside her: "Sister is awake!"

Then Yuzhu and Fangchu came over in a hurry.

Yuzhu's eyes were red, and she covered her mouth with her hands, unable to speak. Fangchu smiled and said happily: "The queen has finally woken up, that's great!"

Seeing Jiang Shuyi looking out from behind them, Fang Chu realized that she was looking for His Majesty, and said with a smile:

"Your Majesty has been watching over the Queen day and night for the past three days, fearing that she would be sad when she woke up and couldn't see anyone. Today, the local government reported the flood of the Yellow River. Your Majesty watched over the Queen and drafted a response plan. One stick of incense past, he fed her medicine and then went to discuss with the officials of the Ministry of Works whether it was feasible. If they knew that the Queen had woken up at this time, they would be happy, but they would definitely regret not scheduling the meeting in the morning."

Jiang Shuyi was feeling sad because Pei Yan was not around, but she felt much better because of Fang Chu's words.

She asked Yuzhu to help her sit up and asked Fangchu to pour her a cup of tea as she was thirsty.

When I spoke, I realized my throat was very hoarse and I had no strength left.

Yuzhu explained: "The queen has a high fever and has been in a coma for three days. She can only be fed some porridge every day. It is normal that she has no strength. I have already asked someone to go to the side hall to call Wang Yuanpan. After he feels the queen's pulse, she can eat something."

Jiang Shuyi sat up and saw Jiang Xianrong standing beside her, restrained like a little servant.

The surprised sister just now must have been called by her.

Jiang Shuyi took the tea from Fang Chu and drank a few sips to moisten her throat before frowning and asking her, "Why are you here?"

Jiang Xianrong said in a weak voice: "Your Majesty, it was His Majesty who asked me to take care of you..."

Jiang Shuyi was wondering why she was asked to take care of her, Fangchu smiled and said, "The queen called her aunt and Jiang Guiren in her dream, so His Majesty guessed that the queen wanted to see her relatives. The queen must not be very willing to see Jiang's parents, except for the fifth lady. The queen had stood up for her at the last flower viewing banquet. His Majesty thought that the queen should not be tired of her, so he summoned Miss Jiang to the palace to take care of the queen. If the queen doesn't like it, let her leave the palace immediately."

Jiang Shuyi didn't say anything, she finished the tea in her hand, looked at Jiang Xianrong and sneered, "Your Majesty asked you to take care of me, mother must be worried sick, right? I guess you haven't been able to sleep or eat well these past two days, I'm afraid I'll make things difficult for you."

Jiang Xianrong immediately knelt on the ground, lowered her head and dared not speak.

Jiang Shuyi was unhappy: "Have I ever hit you? Why do you look like a frightened bird when you see me?"

Jiang Xianrong didn't know how to respond, but she couldn't help but respond, so she could only admit her mistake in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty has never hit me, Your Majesty has saved me, Your Majesty is very good, it was my fault, I won't dare to do it again..."

Jiang Shuyi wanted to say something but stopped herself. Finally, she was too lazy to pay attention to her: "Go home, your mother is waiting for you."

Jiang Xianrong responded quickly and was about to get up and leave, but then she remembered something and knelt back down, lowering her head tremblingly.

Jiang Shuyi was puzzled: "What are you doing?"

Jiang Xianrong's voice sounded like she was about to cry. She knelt on the ground with her hands folded. "Yesterday, I was staying in the side hall of Zhaoyang Palace. Because of my menstrual period, I accidentally soiled your Majesty's bed. I beg your Majesty to forgive me..."

Jiang Shuyi was rarely stunned by her.

Yuzhu came over and explained in a low voice, "The fifth young lady had her period the night she entered the palace. She dared not tell anyone and had to endure it herself. The maid discovered it the next day when she was making up the bed. She took her to bathe and clean herself, and used a menstrual belt. I told her it was okay, but the fifth young lady was always terrified, afraid that the queen would punish her."

Jiang Shuyi was amused, holding the cup and said, "Get up, the side hall is not where I live, just change the bed and mattress, and you can go now."

Jiang Xianrong's heart, which had been tense for a whole night and day, relaxed, but she immediately asked again: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty will not punish me?"

My father said that a woman's menstrual period is an unclean thing, and if she carries it with her, she is not even allowed to go to the ancestral temple. How could Her Majesty, such a noble person, not be angry? Will she not get angry now and ask His Majesty to order her to be killed later?

Jiang Shuyi was impatient: "If you must punish me, go back and tell your mother everything, and tell her what I said, and let her beat you up."

Jiang Xianrong felt relieved and kowtowed repeatedly to express her gratitude.
