Chapter 51
The man leaned behind her, the Shu brocade fabric rubbing against the back of her thin fur coat, his deep and rich voice lingered in her ears, and the hot breath from his nose continued to spread around her neck, making her tremble all over.
"Madam Jiang, I heard that you have a new love?" He smiled faintly, as gentle and elegant as he was three years ago. However, it was this appearance of his that deceived her completely, and he became a laughing stock in Luocheng for a while.
Jiang Zhaoli stood up and retreated to the corner. It was the middle of the night and there was no candle in the room. She could only look at the man in the dim light from the window. Even so, she still couldn't see his face clearly, but his voice was extremely familiar. It was Yin Su who had disappeared for three years, and was now the Prince of Yuncheng praised by everyone.
"You...how did you know I was here?" I had originally planned to leave early tomorrow morning, but I was still discovered by him. If I had known this would happen, I would have left Yuncheng immediately.
He left so farewell without even saying a word, so why did he come to look for her now? Did he really think that she would wait for him forever and must be with him?
Emotions were churning in Yin Su's eyes, and undercurrents were surging: "I've always known it."
From the moment she stepped into Yuncheng, he knew that even the invitation sent to Luocheng was from his hand. It should be said that her coming to Yuncheng to attend the banquet was planned by him.
"You hired someone to follow me." Hearing this, Jiang Zhaoli was instantly filled with anger, including the pent-up emotions towards him over the years. Thinking of the series of strange things she encountered today, she gritted her teeth and said, "Could it be you who was responsible for today's strange things?"
Yin Su said in a deep voice: "It's me."
"I don't want to see you getting too close to that kid from the Song family." He stared at her and suddenly smiled: "Madam Jiang, you can only be mine."
After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms. She felt dizzy again and was forced to lie on Yin Su. She screamed and tried to get up immediately, but was held tightly around the waist by a pair of strong arms. She tried to break free several times but failed and her body softened.
She was already wearing thin clothes before going to bed, and the neckline of her clothes was a little low. If you looked closely, you could vaguely see the spring scenery in the gap.
He gently pressed the back of her head with one hand, forcing her to hang her face on the side of her neck. He then gently bit her delicate neck and earlobe, nibbling lightly, which was itchy and painful.
Jiang Zhaoli's eyes widened in shame and embarrassment, his eyes filled with disbelief.
After not seeing each other for three years, she never thought that he had become so frivolous, behaving like this in her room in the middle of the night. If this matter were to get out, how would she live her life? From beginning to end, he had never considered her feelings.
Jiang Zhaoli pushed him angrily, but failed. She took a breath, regained her senses, and said calmly, "Yin Su!"
"There is no relationship between us anymore. Who I am with is my personal choice."
"Can you please let me go first?"
Yin Su was startled, a look of hurt flashed in his eyes, his fingertips clenched white in an instant, the big hand on his waist trembled slightly, his amber eyes were instantly covered with a layer of melancholy in the night, like a porcelain bottle about to break, he called softly: "Madam Jiang."
Three years ago, he took the initiative to lead troops to fight against the Min Kingdom's snobbery and confessed his guilt to the emperor. He risked his life to gain the trust of the Min Kingdom's eldest princess, but was eventually discovered and nearly lost his life in Ruo Xing's scheme. If Zou Yuan had not rescued him in time and brought him back to the court, he would have died long ago.
What he feared most was not death, nor the betrayal of his best friend, but that he would not have the chance to see her again before he died.
The second girl Jiang who once looked at him with a smile, gave him warmth and cared about him.
Even when he was in a coma, even the doctors said that it was all up to fate and there was no way to save him, but he still managed to pull through. In his dream, he saw Madam Jiang waving at him, leading him step by step to a place with light. It was even her that he called out to when he was unconscious. He thought that it was probably the amulet she had prayed for that blessed him and brought him back from the brink of death. Otherwise, with the evil deeds he had done over the years, dying ten times would not be enough to make up for it.
At that time, he thought that if he was lucky enough to return alive, he would find her no matter what the cost, even if Madam Jiang hated him and blamed him.
He looked at her with deep affection, which gradually became soft and blurred. He then lingered on her lips for a long time until his breathing became heavier. He then said in a hoarse voice, "I have been thinking about you for a long time, and I miss you like crazy."
Jiang Zhaoli was startled. She felt no emotion in her heart, only shame and anger. She tightly grasped the quilt in her hands and struggled to stand up: "Let me go. I don't want to hear you talk now."
Yin Su suddenly smiled: "Okay, I'll come to see you tomorrow."
Although he said yes, his grip didn't loosen at all. Jiang Zhaoli couldn't struggle out of the shackles, and she became even more angry. She reached out and hit him on the chest, but it was hard. She turned her head away and snorted coldly: "No need, I will leave early tomorrow morning."
I was molested for no reason and was held tightly by someone and refused to let go. Afterwards I was told that I would come to see you tomorrow.
Yin Su smiled faintly, straightened her head, and made her look at him straight, but his fingers rubbed back and forth along her fair and translucent face dishonestly, his eyes were so gentle that they seemed to be dripping with tears: "I'm afraid it won't work tomorrow."
Jiang Zhaoli frowned: "Why?" Could it be that he still wanted to restrict himself?
Yin Su said calmly, "No one is allowed to go out or enter Yuncheng these days."
He paused and said, "The emperor is in Yuncheng. He will personally interrogate the criminals of Min country in the next few days."
Jiang Zhaoli didn't expect that he would tell her this. After all, wherever the emperor goes, it must be kept secret, as it concerns the emperor's safety.
She was silent for a long time, thinking about the current situation in her mind. After a long time, she sighed inwardly, it seemed that she would not be able to go back these days.
Jiang Zhaoli struggled to get up again, but Yin Su let her go this time. Jiang Zhaoli quickly retreated to the corner, hugged her body with both hands, stared at the man lying beside her with vigilance, and ordered him to leave without hesitation: "Get out."
Yin Su didn't move at all.
Yin Su: "You sleep, I'll watch over you." Over the years, he has been thinking about her every moment. As time goes by, this feeling should have faded away, but it is the opposite for him. On the contrary, the longer time goes, the deeper this love buried deep in his heart takes root, and there are signs that it can no longer be suppressed.
Today, he wanted to see her more to relieve the pain of missing her over the years.
Jiang Zhaoli frowned: "How can I sleep if you are here?"
Yin Su spread his hands and glanced to the side for a moment: "Just sleep like this."
Jiang Zhaoli stared. How shameless was this man to let her sleep with him? It was simply ridiculous.
This is absolutely impossible.
Yin Su was not a gentle man at this moment, so he just kept wasting time.
Another half hour passed, Jiang Zhaoli was so sleepy that she huddled in the corner, but her body slowly tilted until she fell down.
In a daze, she fell into a warm embrace, like a big stove, warming her.
She had a dream that she had a snow-white cat. The cat was very clingy and kept sticking to her. Sometimes it would run to her face and touch her. She had no choice but to put the cat down, but the cat jumped up again and hugged her tightly, refusing to let go.
She always felt that she had been fighting with a cat in her dreams all night.
Jiang Zhaoli slept until noon. After a good rest yesterday, all the fatigue of today was swept away and he felt refreshed.
Jiang Zhaoli reached out and touched the quilt beside her. She was stunned and wondered how she fell asleep yesterday.
But Yin Su had disappeared long ago. Jiang Zhaoli rubbed her temples, feeling annoyed. It was better for her to leave. She would choose another inn today.
Just as she finished her thought, the door creaked open, and Yin Su smiled gently, as handsome as ever. He walked in with a basin of water, put it on the basin rack, and smiled at her: "Madam Jiang."
