Chapter 40 Chapter 40 Gu Shi wants to announce his marriage to Ling Chuan...
She hurriedly stuffed the fake death pill into her sleeve. There was nothing unusual about the pill, and it wouldn't look strange even if it was placed on the table with her anti-emetic medicine.
Lingchuan couldn't help but feel excited. She was only twenty years old this year, and she had a lot of energy in her body with nowhere to vent. She just wanted to do something big.
As long as she swallows this pill, Gu Shi will think she is dead...
Lingchuan's hands trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but imagine what Gu Shi would look like when he learned of her death.
She strode back to Congcui Palace. She never expected that Qin Sizhao would actually pin the head on his belt and become a desperado with her.
Lingchuan couldn't help but like Qin Sizhao more and more. He was as crazy as she was in his bones. This feeling was really addictive.
Just imagine that after she takes this pill, she will feel like she is on the verge of death, and then she will be resurrected in Qin Sizhao's hands. How wonderful and moving this feeling is.
It's simply an ultimate joy.
She carelessly placed the pill with her other antiemetics, looking at it as if it were a bouquet of roses, with a smile on her face and a blush on her cheeks.
There is no better gift in the world than this. She couldn't help but wish time would go faster and faster.
She suddenly became excited and stood up happily like a little bird. She reached out to open the wardrobe, picked out the most colorful and beautiful clothes, and asked Qingye to change her into them.
Lingchuan stood in front of the mirror and applied rouge on her lips with her fingers, staining her fingers bright red. The bright red of the rouge seeped into her flesh through the gaps between her fingers.
The mirror reflected a spirited beauty, her eyes emitting a charming light and filled with a strange and morbid passion.
She put her hand on her chest, and the beating of her heart was transmitted to her hand one by one. She felt that even her breathing became hot. She loved Qin Sizhao, and he could really bring her the most exciting experience in the world.
Is there anything more thrilling than coming back from the dead?
As for the fetus in her belly, Lingchuan didn't want to care about it at all.
Qin Sizhao already knew that she was pregnant. Since he dared to ask her to take the fake death drug, he must have a way to solve this problem.
He knew that she was pregnant, but he was still willing to be a pair of desperate lovers with her. Her mother was right about him.
Lingchuan smiled contentedly. He was truly worthy of her. He was as crazy as she was.
After dinner, Gu Shi came back and looked at Lingchuan sitting at the dining table dressed up beautifully.
"It's unruly. How can you sit at the table?"
Lingchuan dressed so beautifully simply because she was not satisfied with him in the morning, so she dressed up in a unique way to please him in the evening. He just needed to accept this gift as a matter of course.
If it were the past, he would definitely think so.
But now Gu Shi couldn't help but worry about gains and losses.
Is she really dressing like this for him, or for someone else?
He reached out and touched the rouge on her lips and wiped it off with his handkerchief.
He used too much force and smeared her lipstick, leaving a bloody red under her lips, vaguely cold, blending with the light blue blood vessels under her skin.
"Why are you dressed like this?"
Lingchuan stretched out his hand to push him away and said with a smile:
"Why, do you think I'm seducing you?"
"I don't think so."
What Gu Shi said was true.
Lingchuan couldn't help but glance at the fake death drug, his heart filled with joy.
She held his face gently and kissed him. The rouge on her fingers rubbed against his earlobe, and a thin layer of rouge was also stained on his lips.
Gu Shi pushed her away, turned around to look in the mirror, and complained:
"Lingchuan, I actually don't like you wearing such bright lip balm."
He pointed to his lips, frowned and said:
"Look, it's all over my lips. What will people think if they see it?"
He rubbed his lips hard, but ended up rubbing them red. It was impossible to tell whether the rouge had stained his lips deeply red.
"Don't just focus on your lips, what else is on your ears?"
"On my ears? How could the red on your lips get on my ears?"
He turned his head to the mirror and carefully examined his ear. There was indeed a red spot on his earlobe.
He suppressed the joy in his tone and said:
"Lingchuan, you look really carefully."
Lingchuan laughed and said:
"What will you do if I die?"
Lingchuan often said such words, sometimes he was angry with Gu Shi, sometimes he was testing him, and sometimes he just wanted to get a promise of "I love you", but he always refused to give it in the past.
Gu Shi was already used to it, so he didn't take this remark seriously.
"I love you."
But this time, he can make such a promise.
"That's not what I'm talking about..."
Lingchuan frowned and couldn't help but giggle.
"I'm serious, what are you going to do if I die?"
"Then will you turn into a female ghost and haunt me?"
Lingchuan suppressed his laughter and replied:
"Won't."
"Why not?"
"No, that's right. Maybe... I'll have a hundred good men waiting for me to choose from in the underworld. I'll be overwhelmed and won't be able to care about you at all... Besides, there are no ghosts in the world. They are just made up to scare people."
"Then what else can I do?"
Gu Shi put his hand on his chin and thought seriously:
"Then I will pull your body out of the coffin and expose it to the sun. You won't be able to rest in peace. Come and haunt me in the middle of the night."
"I've already told you that there are no ghosts in the world. My corpse is no different from a piece of meat in the market. Even if you whip my corpse every day, it will be useless."
Lingchuan waved his hands impatiently.
"Forget it, you're so boring, I won't tell you anymore."
She was indeed worried that Gu Shi would really open the coffin for an autopsy; she felt he was capable of such a thing.
Gu Shi was very familiar with her, so he was afraid that the corpse wouldn't be so easy to fool...
Forget it, after she leaves, I don’t care about the flood. One day of happiness is one day of happiness. One should live happily, which is better than slowly dying in this palace.
"If there were no ghosts in the world, I would hope to die before you, so that I would not have to suffer the pain of separation."
Lingchuan was angry for no reason:
"Are you so selfish that you must suffer less than me?"
She was holding back her anger and secretly thought that she would make Gu Shi taste the pain of separation between life and death no matter what.
"Why, do you hope to die before me?"
"Not necessarily, but I can't be the only one to experience the pain of separation between life and death."
She sat at the dining table rather unceremoniously, hooked her hand under his jawline, and brought her face closer to his, her breath faintly brushing against his face.
He rudely slapped her hand away and said:
"Don't even think about it. You're pregnant and you can't do anything."
In anger, she clamped her legs around his waist and kissed him provocatively, but Gu Shi remained unmoved.
"Oh, that's rare. How did you become a real gentleman?"
"What's the matter, Lingchuan? Do you feel that you have lost face during the day and you can't wait to get back at me?"
He looked at her with a hint of sarcasm and reached out to rub her collarbone.
"No, I'm not your fangirl."
Lingchuan was so provoked by him that he gritted his teeth in hatred.
"Oh, could it be that you've been taking liberties with some palace maid behind my back? That's why you're so indifferent?"
"You are wronging me. I am not as fickle as you."
He frowned, squeezed her knuckles hard, and his tone was a little sour.
Gu Shi said nothing, just watched the movements of his hands. He quickly untied Lingchuan's belt and took off her coat.
She was wearing a short midi-shirt underneath, revealing her forearms and calves vaguely.
He simply picked up Lingchuan and carried him horizontally. Lingchuan was still excited, but after being stimulated by him, he became excited again.
"Sleep well."
He covered her with the quilt, hugging her tightly.
"Although it's getting warmer now, it's still a bit chilly, especially at night. It would be troublesome if you catch a cold during pregnancy."
He pressed the corner of Lingchuan's quilt hard, only to see a pair of angry eyes. Lingchuan looked insulted, biting his lower lip with his little tiger teeth, looking at him angrily.
"Don't bother me. If you bother me, I'll go to the study and sleep."
She turned over and faced away from Gu Shi, silently expressing her dissatisfaction.
Gu Shi just smiled, said nothing, and gently massaged her back.
"The doctor said that you may have back pain during pregnancy. Is this how you massage it?"
"Don't touch me!"
Lingchuan slapped his hand away.
"Okay, I won't touch it."
Gu Shi withdrew his hand obediently.
"I've consulted the imperial physician about how to take care of a pregnant woman. It's true that you can't have sex. Don't blame me. I'm just cherishing your body."
"Huh, that's hilarious."
Lingchuan buried his head in the quilt and spoke in a muffled voice.
"If you value my body, don't get me pregnant, okay?"
"Isn't that because you refused to drink the contraceptive soup properly?"
"I want to be born in your court and embarrass you."
He gently put his arms around her waist and touched her belly. Lingchuan was startled and almost twitched, and quickly slapped his hand away.
"What's the hurry? Isn't my child in here?"
Lingchuan was silent for a while, and Gu Shi leaned over to her ear and asked:
"Why don't you ask me if I want a boy or a girl?"
"Bah! Shameless!"
Lingchuan's face flushed and he curled up in the quilt.
"I want to announce our marriage as soon as possible. If you want to hold the wedding until next spring, that's fine too. But I'll announce our marriage in seven days."
"Aren't you afraid of losing face? What kind of identity are you going to give me?"
Lingchuan didn't expect that he would actually get married openly.
"What else could it be? My adopted sister Lingchuan is already very good, and she is more than qualified to be my wife."
Gu Shi smiled.
Lingchuan turned over and met his eyes. In the flickering candlelight, his eyes were filled with a layer of orange-red tenderness.
Lingchuan's heart trembled, as if it was stabbed suddenly, or licked.
