Zhang Xiaoyu was startled.
Although she had rested for two days, she still felt she wasn't strong enough to fight independently. She thought Zhu Xinning would be fine after a day's rest, and the two of them could work together to share the burden. Little did she expect Zhu Xinning to push her into the fray...
"Um...husband...I...I've gotten my period too!"
Zhang Xiaoyu gritted her teeth and said.
"..."
Zhu Xinning, who was standing next to her, was the first to be surprised.
She was lying, and you could tell Zhang Xiaoyu was lying, since the two of them were together every day and remembered each other's dates clearly.
I couldn't help but feel a little resentful. It's one thing for me to lie, but why are you lying along with me? What if he becomes suspicious?
As expected, Jing Zhe stopped upon hearing this.
"You're on your period too? Do you want me to check you out?"
Jing Zhe squinted at Zhang Xiaoyu, who was grinning mischievously. This made her furious, and she was considering whether to tell the truth when Zhu Xinning couldn't hold back any longer: "We can't let him check! What if he checks me too? Wouldn't that expose us?"
Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, your sister saved you last night, it's time for you to repay your sister!
With the idea of sacrificing a friend rather than myself, Zhu Xinning took the initiative to say, "I remember Xiaoyu's period only started a few days ago, right? How come it's here so soon? Xiaoyu must have felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach this afternoon and mistakenly thought her period had started, right?"
Even when exposing Zhang Xiaoyu, Zhu Xinning spoke very skillfully, always saving face for her.
"Yeah?"
"Well...maybe...yes..."
Zhang Xiaoyu said guiltily, "This afternoon, my lower abdomen hurt a little, so I thought it was my period... I'll have to check myself to find out if it's here or not..."
"Hehe, you don't need to see for yourself. I'll give you a full check-up when we get home! Since Second Sister is on her period, if Xiaoyu hadn't come, you'd better put on a good show tonight!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoyu was about to cry. She glanced at Zhu Xinning, who was looking somewhat gloating, and suddenly gritted her teeth.
My second sister betrayed me first, so don't blame me!
Then, Zhang Xiaoyu looked up at Zhu Xinning with a puzzled expression and said, "Oh, I remember now, Second Sister's period always seems to be on time. It should still be ten days away, right? What, did Second Sister's period come early this time?"
"..."
The ship of friendship can capsize at any moment.
Zhu Xinning looked at Zhang Xiaoyu, and Zhang Xiaoyu looked at Zhu Xinning. In the end, they both turned their heads to the side.
Come on, let's hurt each other!
Seeing this, Jing Zhe couldn't help but chuckle, then added, "Alright, it seems you two care about each other quite a bit, remembering even the other's menstrual cycle so clearly, but not your own! But don't worry, I'll check them all together later!"
It's now confirmed that neither of those women had their period; they were just deliberately lying to him!
They absolutely have to be taught a lesson!
Then he put his arm around the two women's waists and dragged them back. Zhu Xinning steeled her heart and said, "Zhe'er, your second sister is really not good tonight. My legs are weak and I can't even walk. Please forgive your second sister this time. Let Xiaoyu serve you well tonight!"
He then stopped walking, displaying an air of "If you keep pushing me, I'll sit down."
Seeing that things were not going well, Zhang Xiaoyu immediately said, "Husband, Xiaoyu has only been deflowered for two days, I definitely can't do it on my own!"
Then she looked at Zhu Xinning and said, "Second sister, didn't you say you were amazing yesterday? Besides, you've both rested for a day, wouldn't it be nice if the two of us took turns serving our husband?"
"..."
The two stared at each other, and Zhu Xinning said defiantly, "I really can't walk anymore!"
"My husband is highly skilled in martial arts. Since Second Sister can't walk anymore, wouldn't it be better to carry her?"
Zhang Xiaoyu encouraged them from the side.
"Yes, that's right!"
Jing Zhe nodded, "Then I'll let both of you experience what it's like to fly!"
With that, Jing Zhe picked up one person in each arm, then took off and flew towards home.
This night was destined to be another sleepless one…
...
Meanwhile, at Wenxiangju, Chuxia spent the entire day listlessly in her room, but she had no complaints. She knew that her efforts brought Murong Xi happiness, and she even imagined how enjoyable Murong Xi must have been at the newspaper office…
So when she heard the door open, she skipped over to greet him and asked cheerfully, "How was it, Your Majesty? What was his reaction after hearing what you said?"
"..."
When Chu Xia asked this question, she noticed that Murong Xi's expression was even worse than crying. He looked extremely aggrieved, with his lips pursed as if he could cry at any moment!
Chu Xia immediately realized something was wrong: "What, did Yu Xiangrong go back on her word and watch you all day again?"
Saying this, Chu Xia felt inexplicably relieved. Yesterday, when she saw Murong Xi and Yu Xiangrong as close as sisters, even closer than she was, she felt unhappy. But Murong Xi said that after she followed Jing Zhe to Jingzhou, she would definitely need someone to rely on. Yu Xiangrong was a very good person and needed her help this time, so it was understandable that she would be on better terms with Yu Xiangrong.
You wouldn't believe it, but Yu Xiangrong isn't as good as she seems on the surface; she's lying to people too!
I'm the only one who's good to the Queen!
Thinking about it this way, Chu Xia felt very happy, even though she knew that Murong Xi had failed again—at least she learned a lesson, because not everyone is as genuinely good to her as she is!
But to everyone's surprise, Murong Xi shook her head: "It's not about Xiang Rong."
"Not her? Then who is it?"
"It was Su Mochen. Xiang Rong didn't even have a chance to show her face. Or rather, it was Zhu Xinning. She must have arranged all of this!"
"..."
Chu Xia said helplessly, "Your Majesty, what can we do? She's determined to keep an eye on you, what chance do we have?"
I knew Zhu Xinning would be very vigilant, but I never expected her to be this vigilant!
Murong Xi replied coldly, "I originally only intended to tell him my thoughts; everything else could be discussed when we return to Jingzhou..."
Her gaze immediately turned cold: "Since she keeps pushing me like this, then don't blame me!"
Seeing Murong Xi clench her fists and grit her teeth, as if she had made a major decision, Chu Xia was a little confused and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you intend to do?"
"In early summer, is there a kind of medicine mentioned in women's books?"
"What medicine?"
"The kind that the saintess eats after she gets married?"
"Does the Empress intend to..."
Murong Xi nodded: "I originally wanted to get along well with them, but who knew they would keep pushing me so hard? So I have no choice but to take some special measures. I'll give them a surprise!"
Then he asked, "Did you bring this medicine with you?"
"I brought it..."
Early summer wood road.
