Chapter 67: What are you doing with my clothes? "Miss Yun Er has reached menstruation...
"Second Miss Yun's menstruation has arrived. She's deficient in Qi and blood, and lacks food, which is why she fainted." The palace physician took her pulse and reported to Xue Yu, "Don't worry, eldest young master. Rest and take your meals regularly. I'll prescribe some warming and nourishing prescriptions. Second Miss Yun is in good health and will recover soon."
Xue Yu nodded, but what he was thinking in his heart was to find the imperial physician Liao from the Shanqianjin Department of the palace to treat her well.
After dismissing everyone, Xue Yu sat in front of Yun Yang's bed.
Yun Yang actually woke up when the palace physician took her pulse, but she didn't dare open her eyes. Firstly, she hadn't figured out how to tell Xue Yu that she was going to visit Lu Jie. Secondly, Xue Yu carried her all the way back to the palace. Although she was drowsy, her suddenly accelerated heartbeat was hard to ignore. She was afraid that leaving herself alone with him would give rise to inappropriate thoughts.
Just continue pretending to sleep.
"Sir, the Ministry of Justice has sent the files over," Si Qing said from outside the door. "It's in Fushan Pavilion. Should I go get it for you, or should you go back?"
"Bring it here." Xue Yu said.
Yun Yang's heart trembled, and he continued to pretend to sleep.
Is he not leaving?...
After a while, Su Qing brought something over. Xue Yu took a quick look and told Su Qing to pick out the important things and read them to him.
Xue Yu shifted his gaze from Yun Yang's face and listened to Si Qing's report.
Yun Yang closed his eyes, not knowing what to think. The cases he heard went in one ear and out the other, feeling very boring. Suddenly, the hand in the quilt was grabbed.
It was Xue Yu's hand, slender, with distinct joints, and warm. It reached into her fingers and interlocked theirs.
She opened her eyes slightly and saw that he had one hand on his knee, listening attentively to Si Qing's report, while the other hand reached into the quilt and held her hand.
He didn't look at her, but his hand under the quilt gently stroked her palm.
Their fingers were connected, and the feeling of being invaded made Yun Yang blush and her heart beat fast. She could no longer pretend. She opened her eyes and struggled a little, but she didn't dare to do it too much, for fear that Si Qing would see it.
Xue Yu looked back at her, his hands still clenched tightly, "Are you awake? If you are, take the medicine."
Yun Yang slowly stood up, pursing her lips stubbornly.
Si Qing went down with great foresight, but was stopped by Xue Yu, who left behind a file in his hand.
"Don't be angry. You have to take the medicine." He looked at her and said, "You just said you didn't want me to be angry, so why are you angry now? Just because I held your hand?"
Yun Yang lowered his eyebrows, said nothing, and was stubborn and silent.
He sighed, raised his hand to pick up the file beside him, and handed it to her, "Take a look, it's Lu Jie's."
Yun Yang looked up in surprise, snatched it up, and began to read it quickly. The file described Lu Jie's crimes in Lucheng, which were exactly as the rumors said. There were so many names involved that Yun Yang felt dizzy. He wondered who knew who among them, and who had close ties to high-ranking officials at the court.
"Can you save him?" Yun Yang asked blankly.
Xue Yu looked at her, "Do you like him that much? Can't you like me too?"
Yun Yang said, "No. You are my brother-in-law."
"What if I'm not your brother-in-law?" Xue Yu said.
"You can't not be, you are. You and my sister have been engaged since you were young. When my sister comes back, you will live in harmony. And I will also find a good family to marry, and bring him to visit you and my sister every holiday." Yun Yang murmured, as if she had made up her mind, and looked up at him, "If you were not my brother-in-law, you and I would never have met."
Xue Yu sneered, "You mean finding a good family to marry into? That good family, is it Lu Jie?"
Yun Yang calmed himself down and whispered almost pleadingly, "If it's him, can you save him? Just like saving your brother-in-law."
"No, I wish I could kill him." Xue Yu blurted out, the chill in his words hard to conceal, and he casually turned the ring on his finger, "Maybe I don't need to do it, there are too many people who want him dead."
After he finished speaking, he saw Yun Yang's cautious gaze suddenly turn into disappointment, a heartbreaking disappointment.
When did her brother-in-law become like this?
He was completely different from the gentle, dignified and polite person in the eyes of outsiders. In fact, he was sinister, cold, disregarding human ethics, and even had the intention of forcing her to take possession of him.
But she actually liked him... Even if he was like this, she still liked him. When she thought of him or saw him, she felt happy. But that happiness was also mixed with the bitterness and helplessness of loving someone but not being able to be close to him.
Yun Yang only felt a tightness in his chest and soreness in his eyes.
He held her neck, put his forehead against hers, and said with his eyes slightly closed: "Don't look at me like that, don't cry. I will be soft-hearted..."
A gentle breeze blew by, and the curtains covering the bed swayed slightly. Yun Yang felt a little dizzy and closed her eyes, wishing she could block out her five senses, not feel the scorching heat of his palm, not indulge in his scent, and not sink into his surging love...
"Why are you shaking?" Xue Yu opened his eyes, his nose touching hers. "Tell me, is it pain? Or fear?"
After that, he stroked her lower abdomen with his hand, stared at her and said gently: "Last time you had abdominal pain due to menstruation, I wanted to do this. Yangyang, I said that I will not cross the line without your permission. Don't be afraid, I will arrange everything and won't let anyone talk about you. Don't be afraid of me, and don't reject me, okay?"
She still said nothing, and his heart sank little by little.
After an unknown amount of time, the girl's eyelashes trembled slightly, like a broken butterfly, and her voice was so low that it was inaudible, "Xue Yu..."
She had called his name many times, always with anger. When she was angry, she would call him by his full name, not even calling him brother-in-law.
But this time, her eyes were moist, her red lips were moving, and she called his name with a different tone than before, her voice soft and nasal, instead of calling him brother-in-law.
Xue Yu's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and his narrow eyes were filled with turbulent waves. "Hmm?"
"Don't go." She hugged his waist tightly.
He just stood up because he wanted to warm up the bowl of medicine again.
His heart was filled with ripples and dizziness. She actually had such a delicate side. He couldn't resist at all. He let her hold him, gently stroking her dark blue hair, and said in an unspeakably gentle voice, "What's wrong?"
She rested her head against his chest, listening to his rapidly beating heartbeat, her fingers trembling as she stroked the lines on his clothes. "Do you... really like me?"
She didn't dare to plead for Lu Jie anymore. The words that he wanted to kill Lu Jie made her realize clearly that this man had developed a terrible possessiveness towards her. This possessiveness made him lose his mind and become like another person. This jealousy was probably what caused Lu Jie to lose his life faster.
So, it’s better to go along with him.
The prince once said that she couldn't want everything and give nothing at the same time.
"Yun Yang, I like you more than you think." Xue Yu took a deep breath and said to her seriously, "Your sister and I..."
The next moment, he couldn't continue because she blocked his lips.
Kissing him without any plan, clumsily and eagerly.
Xue Yu's mind was blank, his body was stiff, everything was hard, and his heart was filled with unspeakable throbbing and satisfaction.
Seeing him motionless, she felt anxious, so she let go of him and asked tentatively, "If I like you too, would you be willing to help me save him?"
Xue Yu's face turned from red to blue, he was very embarrassed, the veins on his forehead bulged, and he swung his arm, causing Yun Yang to fall onto the soft pillow.
"Yun Yang, who do you think I am?" he scolded. "Do you think I'm no different from that bastard Li Yi? Do you want you to sacrifice yourself to me and I'll help you rescue him? A deal? One thing for another!? Who do you think you are? All those days in the Xue family, all your studies were in vain. Is that what I taught you?"
Yun Yang looked confused. She really liked him. What was the exchange? She wanted to tell him her feelings. If he knew, he would not be jealous of Lu Jie and would be willing to help her.
Her body still tense, Xue Yu quickly grabbed the robe she had changed out of and covered herself with it, angrily saying, "I don't need your charity, and I won't accept such an exchange!"
Yun Yang watched him leave angrily and wondered, if he could just leave, why would he take her clothes?
