Chapter 33
When Wu Shiyan received Pei Jin's message this morning that he had asked for leave for several days in a row, he did not spare any attention for him, because he was dealing with matters in the palace.
They assumed that Pei Jin had noticed the changes in the capital and didn't want to get involved, which was why he asked for leave.
At noon, Meng She returned and immediately told Wu Shiyan that Qi Yu's body had changed because of the Po E flower.
Even though Meng She spoke cryptically, Wu Shiyan still understood that Qi Yu's body had become more sensitive.
Wu Shiyan became uneasy. Because of his close contact with Qi Yu, he had vaguely sensed Qi Yu's casual attitude towards that matter.
However, since Qi Yu could only have sexual relations with him, he was even happy about it. He liked her straightforward desire for pleasure.
But if he really pushes her too far, and the changes in her body become unbearable for her, Qi Yu might not care about him anymore.
Meng She then added, "Although the effects of this medicine on people are not recorded in detail in ancient books, His Majesty should stay by the Empress's side at this time and not leave her side for a moment."
Unfortunately, Wu Shiyan is currently preoccupied with other matters.
Meng She knew this, which is why he sighed and did not tell His Majesty what he had witnessed at the Pei residence.
When Wu Shiyan woke up that day, he went to the Pei residence and saw the two people getting along inside the window. Even though he knew it was all insincere, the two of them did not overstep any boundaries. He couldn't wait to take Ayu away immediately.
At the time, he was only concerned with listening to Ayu's words, leaving the Pei residence to take a bath and see a doctor to put her mind at ease.
When he went back the next day, the situation had changed. He hadn't expected that someone would be so impatient, finding out that he had been poisoned and would die in eight days at most. So they took action, trying to force him to abdicate and take the throne from him. But even if they were just clowns, if they could lure out some restless ministers, it would be a good deed.
Only when the Empress Dowager and Imperial Concubines in the palace, and the princesses outside the palace, continue as usual, will people believe that the Emperor is truly poisoned, and thus dare to plot even bolder.
Therefore, Wu Shiyan decided to play along and did not switch the two back. He planned to summon "Madam Pei" to the palace in the name of the Empress Dowager after the deed was done, and then they would return to their respective positions.
The current imperial concubine is merely a target. If he covets the throne and seeks to be on the safe side, the first thing he would do upon entering the palace would be to control the imperial concubine before attempting to force her to abdicate.
After all, the emperor's harem only had this one true concubine.
Of course, if Zhao Wanyi is injured or frightened in the palace, Wu Shiyan will also compensate her.
In the Pei residence, no one paid any attention to Qi Yu.
This was Wu Shiyan's plan for Qi Yu.
As for the relationship between Qi Yu and Pei Jin, Wu Shiyan didn't think anything would happen in just three or four days.
Besides, Ayu knew that he loved her.
Moreover, Qi Yu has Lin Qi by her side, and Lin Qi must be very clear about the duties of a secret guard.
But now, the situation has changed, and Wu Shiyan is uncertain. He needs to arrange things as soon as possible, go to the Pei residence to see Ayu, and stay by her side as soon as possible.
-
Lin Qi truly understood her responsibilities. Ever since she was chosen by Qi Yu and sent by His Majesty to protect the Imperial Concubine, she had only had the Imperial Concubine as her master.
The last time she fell into the water was due to her negligence, and she will not make a similar mistake again.
She could only facilitate what the Imperial Concubine wanted to do, and had no reason to stop her.
A bodyguard cannot betray his master, especially since the Imperial Concubine only has one bodyguard.
The sounds inside the house had stopped for a long time. Lin Qi looked out at the distant rooftop from the roof. With her there, no one would disturb the Imperial Concubine's good time.
As long as Lord Pei doesn't say anything, even His Majesty won't know.
-
Qi Yu was extremely tired and exhausted. She pushed Pei Jin away and fell asleep facing the bed.
Pei Jin wasn't as easy to hug as Wu Shiyan. The first time, Pei Jin had a great attraction for her, which is why she liked to cling to him. But this time, she ended the moment fully conscious and didn't roll into his arms again to sleep with her neck intertwined.
Besides, she was so sleepy that she wished she could sleep for three days and three nights. How could she possibly have the energy to deal with Pei Jin?
Therefore, Pei Jin clearly felt that he was being disliked.
She was rejected even when her scent was still on his hands.
Pei Jin glanced at Qi Yu, then stared at his own palm. He still held the jade seal in his hand; it was slippery, and the tassel at the end was wet.
He lowered his head, sniffed, and his earlobes turned a quiet red.
Qi Yu's appearance just now flashed through my mind.
Pei Jin thought he had to help Qi Yu, whether it was to keep the secret or something else, based on the trust she had placed in him earlier.
Pei Jin realized Qi Yu's willful and unrestrained nature from the moment she cried in front of him.
She likes to let things take their course. When she needs him, even if His Majesty isn't here, he can be there too, like a child, without considering the consequences.
But it makes one want to think more about her.
Pei Jin got up and went to the bathroom. He washed his hands, cleaned the jade seal, put it in the brocade box, and then returned to bed.
While washing the jade seal, he longed for Qi Yu to call his name.
I don't want any Pei Lang, I only want Pei Jin.
Pei Jin put his hand on Qi Yu's shoulder and asked, "Madam, who am I?"
He asked tirelessly, stubbornly, again and again.
Half asleep and half awake, Qi Yu frowned impatiently. She was already being called "Madam," how could she not recognize her?
"Pei Jin, it's Pei Jin," she said, her voice still trembling with sobs.
Qi Yu grabbed Pei Jin's hand that was resting on her cheek and, taking advantage of his momentary lapse in attention, bit him in anger.
Disturbing my peaceful sleep!
Qi Yu's bite didn't hurt at all. Pei Jin didn't even feel a trace of pain on his face. Instead, he smiled with satisfaction. He reached out and touched Qi Yu's upper jaw's sharp teeth, rubbing his fingertips against them.
Then I gently coaxed her to sleep.
In the early afternoon, Qi Yu woke up and took a bath with Qiu Kui's help. After bathing, she sat on a stool and another maid dried her hair.
She fiddled with the earrings that had just been delivered from the manor. They were shaped like emerald green leaves, decorated with gemstones, pearls, and gold butterflies, creating a strange balance that was neither cluttered nor dull.
When Qi Yu woke up, Pei Jin was no longer there, saying that there was something going on at the government office and he couldn't be left alone.
Before leaving, she specifically instructed someone to send her these earrings.
To be fair, Pei Jin is indeed very considerate and knows how to please people with exquisite things.
Since she has transmigrated to the present day, the thing Qi Yu has in abundance is money, so she no longer likes gold and silver as much as before. In comparison, she prefers things with clever little details.
Qi Yu asked someone to put the earrings away, as she didn't want to wear them for the time being.
The excuse that Pei Jin was called away immediately reminded Qi Yu of Wu Shiyan. The last time Wu Shiyan came, Pei Jin was called away in the same way.
But Qi Yu didn't rush to find Wu Shiyan; instead, she went to wash off the sweaty smell from her body first.
During this time, she summoned Lin Qi and learned where Wu Shiyan was.
Since it was daytime, even though there were few people in Hengwu Courtyard, they would still notice the man who suddenly appeared in the courtyard, so she could only agree on a place and go find him.
After drying and retying her hair, Qi Yu took Qiu Kui out of the house. They went out through the side gate of Hengwu Courtyard and came into view a small garden.
This garden belongs exclusively to Hengwuyuan and is inaccessible to ordinary people; it is only swept and cleaned in the morning.
Although the place is small, it has bridges and water, artificial hills and rocks everywhere, and seasonal flowers on both sides of the road.
Hengwu Courtyard is, after all, Pei Jin's residence, so no amount of elaborate landscaping and landscaping is excessive.
Qi Yu saw a corner of a robe and recognized it as Wu Shiyan's. Only then did she ask Qiu Kui to go back and fetch her lotus-green cloak.
Okra left, and Qi Yu walked forward.
“Ayu”.
Before Qi Yu could even see who it was, she was pulled into his arms. Wu Shiyan's embrace was cool, so cool that Qi Yu lost all her drowsiness.
She called out lazily, "Your Majesty."
She finds it hard to be energetic; after all, people easily enter a state of sagehood after the pleasure, a state of emptiness and disillusionment with the world.
Wu Shiyan was taken aback when he heard this; this listless state seemed so familiar.
He was eager to verify something, so he lowered his head and kissed Qi Yu's lips, then observed her reaction.
Qi Yu naturally had no intention of responding; she looked at him with the same regretful gaze one would give a dish that had missed its mealtime.
Wu Shiyan had a vague feeling that he was too late.
No, no, Ayu likes him.
Qi Yu asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
She genuinely didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her condition, but Wu Shiyan's expression was terrifying, with a hint of ferocity flashing across his face.
The moment Qi Yu spoke, Wu Shiyan pulled her tightly into his arms, and she heard his voice through gritted teeth: "Qi Yu, you're really something!"
Qi Yu was even more confused. What was he babbling about? Was he going to kiss her again or not?
Wu Shiyan was going crazy. He wanted to check her body for any marks left by that dog Pei Jin. He wanted to lock her in the greenhouse, where it was so hot she could only beg for water from his mouth. He also wanted to make a long chain so that she could only move around in the greenhouse and no one else could enter except him.
Wu Shiyan was about to hate Qi Yu to death.
How could she... how could she do that?
Isn't the emperor's favor enough? Why should she be seduced by a minister? Besides, Pei Jin already has a real wife!
Qi Yu wanted to quietly lean against Wu Shiyan's chest, but his arms tightened around her, making it impossible for her to move. She frowned slightly and, without thinking twice, bit Wu Shiyan's Adam's apple.
Wu Shiyan's thoughts were abruptly interrupted.
Only one thought remained in his mind: Qi Yu was a scoundrel.
Seeing this, Qi Yu knew it was working. She took the opportunity to break free, and instead of moving far away from Wu Shiyan, she cupped his face, which was covered in dark clouds, and kissed his lips.
She meticulously and patiently sketched it.
She didn't know why Wu Shiyan was angry, but she could continue the kiss that had just ended.
Wu Shiyan found himself becoming addicted to this insincere kiss, which was meant to be a make-up act.
A gentle breeze swept by, and his heart felt as if it were bathed in a spring breeze.
At the same time, he hesitated, wondering if it would be inappropriate to forgive her so quickly.
But how could Ayu be wrong?
Wu Shiyan reached out and stroked Qi Yu's hair. With a slight press of his hand, the two, who had just parted their lips, gently touched forehead to forehead.
Wu Shiyan's voice was a little weak and trembling, revealing a trace of grievance as he said, "Ayu, you're not wearing a bracelet."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yu's gaze fell on Wu Shiyan's wrist, where he was still wearing the colorful rope she had casually bought and given to him that night.
Hers should have been placed in Yuzhaoyuan.
She is now wearing a white jade bracelet on her wrist.
Qi Yu said with a lazy yet sincere tone, "Your Majesty, it was my fault. I will find it and wear it on my wrist tomorrow."
"Um."
Wu Shiyan hugged Qi Yu again.
See, she admitted her mistake. What reason is there not to forgive her?
