Chapter 245 Wait for me for a few days

Shen Qingtan woke up completely. He never dreamed that his dream would come true one day.

She subconsciously tried to sit up, but a hand grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms.

Shen Qingtan raised his head, his dark eyes were like the surface of a river under the moonlight. Beneath the quiet surface, an undercurrent was surging, which was particularly captivating.

It was as if he was going to settle the score with her if she nodded.

If you look closely, it seems like he is suppressing some emotions.

This emotion is like fear.

Shen Qingtan felt a sudden surge of guilt in his heart.

She did not go to see Zhao Jue last night, and she felt at ease.

But I had a dream, and I was afraid that I had let the cat out of the bag in the dream.

This is even more terrifying than meeting Zhao Jue.

"I... I received his letter last night and didn't go to see him." Shen Qingtan felt guilty and stuttered. "I asked Liu Yue to dress up as me and go to see him to hide it from others."

Zhao Yi frowned slightly: "Believe it?"

Shen Qingtan then explained, "When he went to war, I prayed for his safety. He wrote to me and asked me to keep an appointment. He said he wanted to return the wish ribbon and sachet to me."

Zhao Yi looked slightly stunned, with a strange look in his eyes. Before he could figure out why Shen Qingtan's words were different from the picture in his mind.

She cupped his face in her hands, her delicate face leaning close to his, and said softly, "Didn't we agree to lure the snake out of its hole? Last night, Second Aunt made some noise, so I went to the Duke's Mansion to arrest her and got a large sum of money for nothing."

Zhao Yi woke up instantly and realized that everything now was real, not a dream.

Last night, he had a long dream.

In the dream, Gu Changsheng was treating him, but something went wrong and he was unable to save him.

Upon hearing the news, Zhao Jue went to Shen Qingtan to confess and express his true feelings.

If Shen Qingtan is willing to forgive him and reconcile with him, they will meet at the old place.

Shen Qingtan left.

He opened his eyes and saw Shen Qingtan lying beside him. He thought he was dreaming and blurted out those words.

Now recalling the scene in the dream, no matter how he called her or tried to keep her, she never turned back, and she still felt a lingering fear.

That feeling of powerlessness and despair was like vines binding him tightly, preventing him from breaking free.

He was afraid that his life would end at this moment, and he was even more afraid that she would be deceived by Zhao Jue.

Shen Qingtan's eyes were filled with resentment as she complained, "We've been married for so long, you should know me well. Why would I go see Zhao Jue?"

Zhao Yi felt a little guilty. He couldn't say that he was so deeply trapped in a dream that he couldn't tell the difference between reality and illusion?

He coughed softly a few times and changed the subject: "Third brother went to war, you prayed for his safety. We've been married for so long, and you've never prayed for my safety, nor embroidered a sachet for me."

The next moment, she kissed him on the lips.

Zhao Yi's eyelashes trembled, and he tightened his arms, hugged her tighter, pressed her under him, and kissed her with his lips and tongue.

His kiss was gentle and deep, drawing her into the steamy, hot passion. She couldn't help but hug his neck and respond to him.

The man didn't let her go until she was almost out of breath.

Zhao Yi looked at the person in his arms. Her eyes were soaked with spring water, and the rouge at the corners of her eyes made her delicate face even more gorgeous.

His eyes darkened and he buried his face in her snow-white neck, suppressing his growing desire for her.

"I've prayed for amulets and embroidered sachets for many people." Shen Qingtan tilted her face slightly, gently rubbed his cheek, and said softly, "Husband, this is my blessing to you, it's unique."

Zhao Yi felt extremely satisfied, and the affection in his eyes could not be suppressed and he kissed the corner of her lips.

"Wait for me for a few days." Zhao Yi said with a gentle look in his eyes, "I will come to you when I am safe and sound."

Shen Qingtan nodded.

Zhao Yi whispered, "If you get impatient waiting, embroider a sachet for me. I'll come when you're done."

Shen Qingtan was speechless, yet also found it somewhat amusing.

It turns out that no matter how reasonable a man is, his mind is as narrow as the hole of a needle when it comes to matters between men and women.

Shen Qingtan curled the corners of his lips and said, "Okay."

-

The two of them were affectionate for a while. Shen Qingtan got up, packed up, and came out of the house. He saw Gu Changsheng and Chen Yuanshi walking towards them.

Shen Qingtan stood under the eaves. After Gu Changsheng came closer, she carefully observed his face. It was still pale, without a trace of blood.

She looked concerned: "Brother Changsheng, you didn't get enough rest last night, did you?"

Gu Changsheng nodded slightly: "I am a light sleeper. I wake up at the slightest movement and it is difficult to fall asleep again."

Shen Qingtan thought about the increase in patrolling soldiers near the palace, and the noise he made was quite loud, so he was afraid that it would disturb him.

She felt relieved a little: "Do you want to stay by the Second Master's side all the time these few days?"

"After the detoxification process begins, I'll stay by his side and observe the situation. It'll only take a few days, I can handle it."

Gu Changsheng felt somewhat helpless. In Manman's heart, he was probably a piece of fragile glass.

He was about to go into the house when he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Manman, do you have anything to say to your brother-in-law?"

Shen Qingtan had already said everything he wanted to say.

The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed them back and followed Gu Changsheng into the house.

When Shen Qingtan came to the screen, he heard Zhao Yi say, "Manman, it's getting late. Go have breakfast and don't worry about me."

She paused and stared at him blankly.

He lay on the bed with a faint smile on his lips, softening the coldness between his brows.

Shen Qingtan clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and at the urging of his eyes, turned around and walked towards the door.

Suddenly, she stopped and turned her head to look into the inner room, only to see the servant pulling open the curtain, blocking her view.

She had been hoping that Zhao Yi's illness would be cured. When the moment finally came, a sense of panic suddenly arose in her heart.

Especially when she thought about the fear and anxiety she saw in Zhao Yi's eyes when she woke up today.

Is he afraid that he can't be cured and he will never be able to see her again?

Thinking of this, Shen Qingtan suddenly understood what Zhao Yi was thinking.

He wanted her to embroider a sachet by herself, not because he was jealous, but to use this excuse to distract her.

At this time, Chen Yuanshi pulled aside the curtain and came out: "Second Madam, the detoxification is about to begin. You should go to the front hall to eat. Don't let Master Xiao Zhao miss you, it will not be conducive to his treatment."

Shen Qingtan nodded and walked out of the house.

With a bang, the door closed behind her.

Shen Qingtan's heart trembled, and he stood there motionless, unable to move.

Suddenly, a small stone rolled down the steps with a "crackling" sound.
