Azi knew her thoughts were naive, after all, her man was the emperor. But she truly didn't want to give in; she hadn't done anything wrong.
If you want to kill her, just come and do it.
Di Jingcheng sighed slightly. This little one was overthinking again. After all, she was just a little girl.
"If you don't eat, baby, I'll have Jinghan take all these delicious things away!" Di Jingcheng gently pinched her soft little face to bring her back to her attention.
"No!" Ah Zi cried out protectively of her food.
"Okay, okay, but you can't eat too much. You'll feel uncomfortable if you overeat." Di Jingcheng said affectionately, placing a large hand on her abdomen and gently massaging it. He wondered if the little one's period was still painful. She seemed to be in good spirits, so it should be alright.
While Azi was asleep, Emperor Jingcheng asked Qinghe about it. It turned out that Azi had caught a chill while playing in the snow in the palace while he was away, which caused her to experience unusually painful menstruation. He expressed both helplessness and heartache, saying that he could only indulge her and let the imperial physicians take good care of her.
After eating some sweets and receiving attentive care from a man, Azi's period became less uncomfortable, but she still had some lingering worries.
——
Imperial Palace, Yining Hall
Consort Wu gritted her teeth in hatred, slammed her hand heavily on the table, and slowly clenched her fingers.
"Damn it, you couldn't even catch him! Changning is so weak he can't even kill a chicken, what kind of work are you doing!"
Consort Wu was so angry she could hardly breathe, while Cai Ning knelt on the ground with a look of fear on her face, her head bowed, making it impossible to read her expression.
"Damn it! They took so much of my money, and they couldn't even hold onto a pampered princess!"
"Cai Ning, did you even instruct them to do their job properly?" Consort Wu screamed, her face contorted in a grotesque grimace, her usual composure completely gone.
"Your Majesty, as you instructed, I went to the Great Buddha Temple and handed over all the gold and silver to them. They sent people there, all of whom are top-notch martial arts masters." After Cai Ning finished speaking, she closed her eyes helplessly.
"That shouldn't be! How could it be? How could it be? How could I not catch it!" Consort Wu swept the items on the table onto the ground, making a loud, clattering sound. The palace servants guarding outside couldn't help but shrink back and bury their heads even lower.
She felt like she was going crazy! Logically speaking, the emperor would definitely protect that little bitch with all his might, and Changning would easily succeed!
Cai Ning gritted her teeth: "Your Majesty, according to the news that has been sent back, in addition to Your Majesty's people, there is another group of assassins."
"Hmph, two groups of people, and they still can't catch them? The people Liu Xinqi found are really useless!"
Consort Wu sat on the throne, her chest heaving violently; she was so angry she felt dizzy.
"Your Majesty, please calm down."
Consort Wu clutched her chest and took a few deep breaths. She refused to believe that they would always have such good luck.
"By the way, I hope the person who was arrested won't expose my identity."
"Your Majesty, rest assured, those assassins are all江湖人 (jianghu people, martial arts practitioners), and there is no way to know their identities. Besides, they were sent by the Emperor of Beixiang, and it has nothing to do with Your Majesty."
Consort Wu seemed to have been comforted and gradually calmed down.
—The Grand Secretary's Residence at Night
After taking a bath, Mu Wanyu sat in front of her dressing table, combing her long hair and staring blankly at her reflection in the mirror. She hadn't been out for a long time; she hadn't expected to come out again this time.
However, she had no idea what had happened during that time, and the servants naturally wouldn't mention it. The only thing she knew was that she and Li Li had become engaged.
No, it should be said that the original owner (in ancient times) Mu Wanyu and Li Li became engaged, and she (the transmigrator) was just an outsider. No, she can't just sit and wait to die; she has to find a way to leave this place.
Li Li said that the emperor had left the palace, so she could find a chance to go out.
She was quietly contemplating what to do next when suddenly someone hugged her from behind and kissed her neck and shoulders. She looked up and saw the Northern Xiang envoy buried against her, and was startled!
She quickly got up and struggled to get away, saying, "Why are you here again! What are you going to do!" She deliberately lowered her voice.
A flicker of doubt crossed Liu Xinqi's eyes, yet a sense of familiarity washed over him; the person before him seemed to be the one who had saved him before. Perhaps his temperament had returned?
He chuckled and said, "Is Yu'er getting shy? We've spent so many wonderful nights together."
Mu Wanyu was horrified. She lowered her head and blinked frantically. What the hell?! The original owner of this body slept with this person, and more than once! And she was even engaged to Li Li. Could it be that she and Li Li had also... you know... done that?!
Thinking about this, she felt her worldview was about to explode. This was something a modern person like her couldn't accept; it was too shocking! The key point was that she was currently occupying this body!
Her stomach churned, and she gagged a few times, covering her mouth, her face contorted with the look of someone who had just eaten feces.
Seeing this, Liu Xinqi wanted to go forward to check on her: "Are you alright?" His concern was genuine.
Mu Wanyu quickly raised her hand to stop him and kept her distance: "I...I'm fine, you can just stand there."
She felt much better after gagging for a while, poured herself a glass of water and drank it, sitting on the soft couch without paying any attention to Liu Xinqi.
She was suddenly startled by a thought: people in ancient times didn't have any protection during sex, and she had just been gagging like that, could she... could she be pregnant?
She suddenly looked up at Liu Xinqi across from her, startling him. Seeing her serious expression and slightly pale face, he felt a little worried.
Are you really alright?
Mu Wanyu shook her head: "It's alright." She didn't know when the original owner would come out, so she had to separate the two of them while she was still conscious, otherwise she would be disgusted.
"There's been no progress on the matter you asked me to handle yet, but don't worry, Emperor Jingcheng and his empress shouldn't live to see the palace again," Liu Xinqi said calmly, sipping his tea.
Mu Wanyu felt overwhelmed by the amount of information; there were still so many things she didn't know!
"How are they now?" Mu Wanyu asked calmly.
"The people I sent out did a small test, and they're unharmed for now, but it'll be over soon." Liu Xinqi stood up and slowly walked towards her.
When Mu Wanyu saw him approach, oh my god! Did he want to sleep with her?! No way!
Mu Wanyu stood up abruptly: "That's good, but just to be on the safe side, you should still be careful. The emperor is cunning and his strength should not be underestimated."
She tried her best to buy some time; she didn't want anyone to die because of her.
Liu Xinqi was somewhat surprised. Mu Wanyu hadn't said that when she came to see him that day. She clearly hated Di Jingcheng and Ranla Azi. What was she saying now? His eyes held a hint of suspicion and inquiry.
Mu Wanyu couldn't help but gag a few more times: "You should leave quickly, I'm not feeling well, I need to see a doctor."
Seeing her distressed appearance, Liu Xinqi didn't say anything more and flew away.
Mu Wanyu sighed, lay down on the bed, feeling somewhat melancholy. She had previously indulged in some presumptuous fantasies about a love affair with Di Jingcheng, but she had stopped daring to pursue it. Now, she only wanted to return to the modern world and live a peaceful life.
But what exactly was the original owner doing?
"Ugh! So annoying! I miss my advisor so much! Advisor, come and push me!" I'm done with these pipe dreams!
Shit!
