Chapter 45 My dear husband
Liu Fuying stayed in the bamboo courtyard for two days and found that the guards outside did not come in to check as often as before.
This is certainly a good thing.
But Liu Fuying seemed unhappy holding the wedding dress.
Because Pei Zhouwu could neither take off nor put on her clothes, so wouldn't the wedding dress be wasted?
It didn't matter to her, her goal wasn't really to marry him, but she had to pretend to be sorry for him.
"Why didn't I think of this yesterday?"
She frowned, held her wedding dress in her arms, and sat down in front of the bed with a sigh.
"Didn't you expect it either?" She raised her eyes and asked Pei Zhouwu who was standing in front of her.
He raised his eyebrows, but with an indifferent expression, nodded and said, "I thought of it."
"Then why didn't you remind me? Or were you afraid that I would be sad or disappointed and deliberately didn't tell me? Even if you buy a wedding dress and can't wear it, do you really just hang it aside for the occasion?"
Pei Zhouwu smiled without saying anything, looking mysterious.
It was already dark outside the window. After dinner, Liu Fuying had originally planned to change into her wedding dress and get married.
She couldn't wear the wedding dress now, and she sighed in worry.
She was feeling unhappy, but Pei Zhouwu turned around and went behind the bamboo cabinet. He gently moved the cabinet open and reached in to feel around along the back of the cabinet.
After a while, he got up and came back.
After standing in front of Liu Fuying, he stretched out his hand from under his sleeve, and there was actually a stick of incense in his palm.
With a frown on his face, Liu Fuying stood up suddenly.
"This is a mystery..."
Incense!
The incense that caused Pei Zhouwu to be seriously injured last time.
Looking closely, there are still traces of blood on the incense.
"Last time, the guard named Yang used incense to attack me. During the fight, another one fell out of his arms and I hid it."
Liu Fuying couldn't help but be shocked.
Last time, she spread a rumor in Shangjing City that someone saw a stick of aphrodisiac incense falling from the body of a dead guard. After it caused a sensation, the emperor sent people to investigate the matter and cleared Pei Zhouwu's name.
Unexpectedly, there was actually an incident where a guard had a scent dropped from his body.
The only difference was that the incense fell right under Pei Zhouwu's nose.
"What...what are you going to do?"
Liu Fuying's heart was pounding, and he didn't know whether he was excited or scared.
The half-open window behind me was blown open by the wind, and the rustling sound of bamboo leaves added fuel to the pace of my heartbeat.
Pei Zhouwu withdrew his gaze from the window that was blown open, and immediately smiled at her comfortingly and said, "Wait for me to come back."
It seemed as if he was just waiting for this gust of wind.
After he said that, he turned and went out.
Liu Fuying put down her wedding dress and chased to the door to see. She saw that he first went to the kitchen in front, and soon walked into the small bamboo forest in front with his mouth and nose covered with his sleeves.
The guard camp lit a bonfire, which made the place even darker.
Looking from that side, it was difficult to see anyone in the dark, let alone find Pei Zhouwu hiding behind the bamboo forest.
The wind blowing from the other side of the lake was neither fast nor slow, and continued to blow forward.
The incense was very powerful. Last time, Liu Fuying only sniffed the burnt incense for a moment and immediately felt dizzy.
The cigarette was blown away by the wind and drifted into the air, and anyone who smelled it would have an attack.
What's more, it's so hot today, the guards will not stay in the tents but will definitely stay outside to cool off. The rules here are not as strict as those in the capital, and the guards without supervision are bound to be more lax and lazy. Most of them are just gathered together to chat.
When Liu Fuying went to the front room last night, he saw it vaguely.
She didn't know how long she had been waiting, and she was getting very anxious.
Unable to hold back, she quietly moved over and carefully stood behind Pei Zhouwu.
The incense in his hand was half burned, and several guards had fallen outside the fence.
Seeing her coming, Pei Zhouwu inserted the incense into the soil under his feet to extinguish it.
"Are you ready?" she asked quietly.
"Wait a little longer."
"Are you worried that there's not enough incense and it won't be effective enough?"
Pei Zhouwu shook his head and replied, "This is a specially made soul-eating incense. One stick costs two gold coins. Its smoke is different from ordinary cigarettes that dissipate quickly. One stick can fascinate thousands of people in a military camp. I'm not worried about its effect, but I'm just in case."
In case some people are not here or are still in the tent.
If we wait for a while, if there is someone who has not been poisoned by the incense, those who come over and find the ground full of people will surely be shocked.
"Go back to the house first." Pei Zhouwu said again.
"I……"
"You haven't put on your wedding dress yet, don't you need to wash up?"
Liu Fuying knew that Pei Zhouwu sent her away because he was afraid of something unexpected.
She understood his intentions and turned away obediently.
But to be honest, what trapped Pei Zhouwu was not the Xiangshan cage, not the chains on his hands and feet, nor the guards outside, but himself.
You see, as long as he wanted, he could get out even if there was no pool of water behind leading to the outside world.
Regardless of whether there is a knockout incense or not, with his ability, it is not difficult for him to kill people and escape. All the guards outside combined may not be able to defeat him alone.
Liu Fuying suddenly felt a little worried.
If she becomes pregnant and leaves him, will he escape and go to the capital to find her?
No way!
For the sake of the Pei family, the queen and the prince, he would not do that.
If he escapes, he will be charged with treason, the Pei family will suffer the pain of having their property confiscated and their clan exterminated, and the Queen and the Crown Prince will be deposed. These are shackles that will trap Pei Zhouwu to death. He is not a selfish person, he will not do that.
After a long time, the guard tent was still silent.
Pei Zhouwu came out from behind the bamboo forest, tapped his toes and leaped out using his lightness skills.
There were thirty-one guards on duty, and he checked each one of them in the camp, making sure that everyone was present before he took the key from the guard leader.
When he returned to the bedroom, he was met with Liu Fuying's surprised gaze.
Because his bracelets and anklets had been taken off.
Liu Fuying was already wearing her wedding dress, and the bright red color made her look extremely gorgeous.
Pei Zhouwu slowly approached her step by step.
For the first time, he moved without the sound of chains clanking.
Liu Fuying frowned slightly, feeling overwhelmed by a myriad of emotions and unable to describe the feeling.
Standing in front of her, Pei Zhouwu asked softly, "Could you please help me undress?"
The sound of "Qingqing" made Liu Fuying's heart almost jump out of his throat.
The most intimate nickname between lovers is even more exciting when it comes from Pei Zhouwu's mouth.
She slowly reached out to untie Pei Zhouwu's belt, then took off his coat.
It was not enough for him to wear the wedding dress on the rack, so Liu Fuying combed his hair and put on a ruby hair crown. Looking at him, it seemed that there was no better-looking and more handsome groom in the whole world than him.
Pei Zhouwu took out the firefly hairpin from the bamboo cabinet again and handed it to her, asking her to put it on for him.
This wooden hairpin does not match his wedding dress and red crown today, but it is a most precious gift.
Liu Fuying took the hairpin and when Pei Zhouwu leaned over and bowed his head in front of her, she inserted the wooden hairpin into his crown.
There is a saying that a newly married husband bows his head before his wife, which means he is willing to bow his head in front of her for the rest of his life.
Liu Fuying's hand trembled a little when he withdrew it.
Thinking about having to call him husband soon, I felt nervous.
