Chapter 53 Ticklish
Ever since the two had their quarrel, Cheng Shuyi has been in a bad mood, and even has trouble eating and sleeping.
When Bai Zhi heard the news and returned to Yihua Palace, Cheng Shuyi immediately stood up and asked, "How is she?"
Bai Zhifu said from behind: "Jieyu Ling is now fine and can speak. Your Majesty can rest assured."
Cheng Shuyi remained stubborn in front of outsiders and snorted, "Who cares about her?"
Bai Zhi: "If you are not worried about Concubine Ling, why did you ask me to find out about her?"
"I……"
Bai Zhi said gently, "Your Majesty, I know you've always been concerned about Concubine Ling. Since you're worried about her, then please clear up the misunderstanding!"
Cheng Shuyi thought the same thing. She had planned to go to Wen Wanyu to explain things and apologize to her after the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.
The moment Wen Wanyu was poisoned, Cheng Shuyi was more worried than anyone else. It was not until he heard that she was no longer seriously ill that he finally let go of his tense heart.
I wanted to go find her, but I was afraid she didn't want to see me. I heard she couldn't speak for a while, and I was worried that we wouldn't be able to communicate properly, which would exacerbate misunderstandings between us.
Cheng Shuyi sighed softly.
Zi Le entered the room and happened to hear Bai Zhi's words. She said, "This servant doesn't agree with this statement."
Bai Zhi gritted her teeth and glared at her. Zi Le had only been at Yihua Palace for a few months, what did she know?
Zi Le pouted: "Sister Bai Zhi, did I say something wrong?"
Bai Zhi shook her hand and turned sideways, out of sight, out of mind.
Cheng Shuyi raised his eyebrows: "Go on."
Zi Le said, "Jieyu Ling has only been in the palace for half a year, and she's already been promoted from a talented person to a Jieyu. But I feel that she can't do without your promotion. Her quarrels and arguments with you show that she doesn't take you seriously. You shouldn't have taken the initiative to go to her."
Cheng Shuyi pursed her lips lightly, smiling: "You don't like her?"
Zi Le was a tactless person. Seeing Cheng Shuyi talking and laughing, she kept blurting out her true feelings. "It's not that I dislike Concubine Ling. It's just that I think she's a bit ungrateful and doesn't deserve your kindness at all. She's so proud of herself just because she got a promotion."
Cheng Shuyi still held her lips in a frown, her eyes fixed on her with a frost. She had previously transferred Zi Le to the palace to serve because she was interesting and efficient. But within a few days, her true colors were revealed.
"Zi Le, do you know what the relationship is between me and Concubine Ling?"
Zi Le was stunned and lowered her head, "Your Majesty, Concubine Ling is your good friend."
"You know this and yet you still say this?" Cheng Shuyi said coldly.
Zi Le knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, calm down. This servant...this servant is thinking about you. This servant doesn't want you to be used by her!"
Cheng Shuyi waved his hands, not wanting to hear her explanation.
"Go back to where you came from."
Zi Le was stunned and knelt on the ground, his eyes full of despair.
…
Chang Lixuan was filled with laughter.
As soon as Xie Junyao entered the room, Wen Wanyu jumped on him and wrapped her legs around his waist, which scared him.
There was no time to open my mouth to blame her.
"Your Majesty, you are here!" A woman's soft and clear voice came to my ears, and her throat had almost recovered.
"You're still jumping around even though you haven't recovered from your illness yet." Xie Junyao said with disgust, but still carried her back to the inner hall.
"I'm already well!"
Wen Wanyu struggled to get off him, but Xie Junyao wouldn't let her. He put his arm around her waist, preventing her from getting off.
"Your Majesty, let me down!" Wen Wanyu smiled and lay on his shoulder.
Since she was poisoned, Xie Junyao has spent some time with her almost every day. Even when she was unable to speak some time ago, Xie Junyao still came to accompany her.
After spending these days together, the relationship between the two has improved a lot.
What was different from before was that Wen Wanyu could feel that Xie Junyao had more affection for her.
Wen Wanyu didn't dare to think too much and just thought that Xie Junyao sympathized with her and felt sorry for her.
"Now that I think about it, why did you jump on me just now?"
Xie Junyao deliberately pinched her waist.
Her waist is her fatal point.
Wen Wanyu instantly softened into a ball of cotton, laughing breathlessly, "Don't—don't—it's so itchy—"
Because she was ticklish, Wen Wanyu almost stuck her whole body to him.
The laughter rustled in his ears, brushing past like a feather, bringing a tingling sensation to the tips of his ears and neck.
"Don't move." Xie Junyao noticed a change in a certain part of his body and put her on the ground.
Wen Wanyu pouted and snorted in dissatisfaction: "It was obviously you, Your Majesty, who tickled me first."
Xie Junyao put his arm around her waist, caressing it with his large palm. His lips slowly moved closer, deepening the kiss.
He pried her lips open and slid his tongue between them. She instinctively responded, enjoying the process.
Her face was red, and the wet feeling on her lips still lingered.
At this time, Li Dexian's loud voice kept repeating, "Your Majesty, Cheng Zhaorong is here! Your Majesty, Cheng Zhaorong is here!"
Xie Junyao lowered his eyes, pretending not to hear, his lust not diminished in the slightest.
Wen Wanyu took a step back first. Her voice was soft and obedient, her eyes were a little dazed, and she spoke without thinking.
Xie Junyao heard her say, "Let her in."
Rao bit her lips hard in disbelief.
Wen Wanyu pushed his face away in pain.
Before he could speak, he heard Xie Junyao's gnashing teeth, "Why did you let her in?!"
Wen Wanyu(*)!!
“???”
"I…I don't know."
Li Dexian didn't know what was going on in the palace and didn't have the courage to take a peek, so he deliberately shouted a warning: "Cheng Zhaorong, be careful with the threshold!"
Cheng Shuyi glanced at him, feeling puzzled.
Everyone has already come in. I can't ask her to go back. Xie Junyao had no choice but to pull Wen Wanyu to sit on the couch.
Wen Wanyu stood up and saluted, "Greetings to Cheng Zhaorong."
Cheng Shuyi felt a little upset that she was so distant.
"The Emperor is here too?"
Xie Junyao was still a little unhappy: "What are you doing here?"
Wen Wanyu secretly grasped his palm and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Your Majesty, please don't speak so harshly!"
But in Cheng Shuyi's eyes, she thought that Wen Wanyu didn't want to see her at all, and showed their affection regardless of the presence of outsiders.
Cheng Shuyi endured the discomfort in her heart and said, "I am here to visit Concubine Ling."
"Um……"
Xie Junyao also knew that the two of them had a conflict, but he didn't expect that after so many days, they still hadn't reconciled.
Look at the little man with his head lowered.
"Wanwan."
Wen Wanyu looked up at her.
Cheng Shuyi asked gently, "Are you feeling better?"
"Much better, thank you... Cheng Zhaorong for your concern." Wen Wanyu still did not show much emotional change.
"That's good."
Xie Junyao: "Wanwan is tired, please come back another day."
Cheng Shuyi gave a faint, slightly disappointed smile: "Okay. Then I will take my leave first."
"Wanwan, take care of yourself."
"Um."
Ever since Cheng Shuyi left, Wen Wanyu has been in a daze, with no expression on his face and no word.
Xie Junyao stayed with her in silence for a while, holding her hand.
It was not until she felt the warmth in her palm that Wen Wanyu came back to her senses and looked up and smiled at him.
"Unhappy?"
"No."
For Wen Wanyu, Xie Junyao is still that unattainable person, and cannot be the person to whom she can confide her troubles.
"Deceiving the emperor is a serious crime." Xie Junyao tapped her nose.
Wen Wanyu blinked: "I didn't lie to the emperor."
"I'm not unhappy. I just feel lost."
"Confused?"
"Yeah." Wen Wanyu said to him, "I don't know how to handle the relationship between Shuyi and me."
Xie Junyao pondered.
A faint mist flashed across Wen Wanyu's hazy eyes. "Shuyi and I are both strong-willed people. I'm happy that she's willing to give in, but I know it's useless if we don't resolve it."
She is basically the queen.
If Cheng Shuyi still trusts the queen wholeheartedly, then even if they reconcile, they will still have countless quarrels for this reason in the future.
Xie Junyao actually admired her way of dealing with things. She was not emotional, but rational, analyzing right and wrong rationally.
