Chapter 48 Return to the Palace
Wu Chun had no dreams that night. This book is exclusively compiled by the LK team for you
When she woke up, she saw Xie Sui's peaceful sleeping face. The sunlight cast a layer of bright golden light on his crow-like eyelashes. The strong presence of the arms covered with tight muscles under his neck was a strong reminder to her all the time - she can never escape again!
Thinking of this, Wu Chun's tears fell silently.
Xie Sui woke up at this time.
Wu Chun met his dark eyes and shrank back. Xie Sui turned over and pressed her under him.
"Why are you crying?" He pecked at the tears from the corner of her mouth. She turned her head away resolutely with a look of disgust, but he pinched her chin to pull her head back. He said calmly, "Can't you bear it just for a little while? We still have a long way to go."
Wu Chun choked and said, "You won't make me fall in love with you at all if you do this. It will only make me hate you more and more. Do you understand?"
Xie Sui's eyes darkened for a moment, "But if I let you go, the relationship between us will be completely severed. You know, I would rather you hate me than cut off your relationship with me."
"Xie Ci Ning! What did I do wrong that you treat me like this? I don't ask you to compensate me for anything. I only ask you to let me go and let me live the life I want!"
Xie Sui found it funny. "What kind of life do you want to live? Running around with that ant every day for a little money? Eating chaff with that ant? Sleeping in the open air, even taking a shower is a luxury?"
Wu Chun was like being stabbed by a sharp knife, "You are not allowed to say that about Zheng Zhou! If it weren't for him, I might have been killed by the Xiyou people! It's impossible for me to be safe and sound until now!"
Seeing that she was still defending the man, Xie Sui's eyes became colder, "Why is all this because of me? Is it because of me? If you didn't run away, all these things wouldn't have happened!" This book is exclusively
compiled Wu Chun knew it was useless to argue with him, so she cried, "What about you? Do you really think you are absolutely right? What do you think of me?"
Xie Sui looked at her calmly, "What did I do wrong?" He thought for a moment, "... Do you think there is such a thing as a past life in this world?"
When Wu Chun heard about the past life, her heart skipped a beat, and she was suddenly worried - could he have thought of the past life?
But it didn't look like he knew anything, but was testing her.
Wu Chun tried her best to hold back her tears, "Don't you never believe in these things? How can there be such a thing as a past life?"
Xie Sui still looked at her, without saying anything.
Finally, he curled his lips and smiled, "Yes, I can't believe these things. Just like... you can't escape from me."
Xie Sui stood up and pulled her up. She curled up in the cold air. Xie Sui put on her clothes in three layers, then let go of her hand, licked his teeth, and asked with a smile: "Can you walk by yourself?"
Wu Chun saw his lustful and obscene look and spat, "Who wants you to support me?"
Then she took a step forward and took a few steps, but she felt extremely awkward. She hadn't worn such gorgeous clothes for a long time and was extremely uncomfortable. She stubbornly twisted her face, trying to endure the discomfort, not wanting Xie Sui to notice anything unusual.
Unexpectedly, Xie Sui grabbed her fingertips and pulled her. After a dizzy spin, she was picked up by Xie Sui.
"Xie Sui!"
"You are a smart person. There is no benefit in going against me. The road to the imperial capital is still long. If you walk alone, I am afraid you can't make it through this state." Xie Sui said lightly, walked out of the restaurant and carried her to the carriage.
Food was already prepared in the carriage, of course, it was a jade plate of delicacies, something she had not eaten for a long time.
Wu Chun only realized at this time that Xie Sui and herself were not wearing dragon robes or phoenix robes today, but the clothes of young masters and young ladies of noble families. From yesterday to today, even if they did that, it was in the carriage. Today, when they woke up, they got on the carriage again, which was completely in a hurry.
Xie Sui took out some memorials from the box at hand.
Wu Chun did not find it strange. He should be very busy now. He could only come out of time.
"Why are you looking at me? Aren't you hungry?"
"I'm afraid you will poison me."
Xie Sui found it funny. "If I want to poison you, wouldn't all the opportunities along the way be wasted?"
Wu Chun started to eat with a cold face. The food of the nobles was indeed not comparable to what the common people had eaten in the past few months. Wu Chun thought that it would be a waste if he didn't eat Xie Sui's food, so he ate it all in
one go. When he put down his chopsticks, his head was lightly knocked by a memorial.
Wu Chun was slightly startled and looked up at him, but he didn't react at all, as if he was just casually touching the fur of a kitten. She was annoyed, "Why did you hit me?"
"Hitting you... interesting." As he spoke, he casually looked at the memorial without raising his eyes.
Wu Chun snorted and leaned against the window to close his eyes and rest.
The royal carriage was faster than the civilian carriage. In just a few days, it had traveled a long distance. Even if Wu Chun wanted to run away, the possibility of returning to southern Xinjiang was reduced a lot.
Her heart was completely burned to ashes.
She asked about Zheng Zhou's whereabouts many times.
When Xie Sui heard her mention Zheng Zhou, he looked as if he wanted to tear her apart. "Why don't you tell me first, what did you do with him?"
"I didn't do anything with him. I'm not like some people who have dirty minds and black hearts and see everything as black."
Xie Sui still refused to mention Zheng Zhou to her. After Wu Chun asked him in every possible way, he finally murmured in her ear, "He's still alive, but... he's just alive."
Wu Chun was alert, "What did you do to him?"
Xie Sui leaned back and said leisurely, "Sit up, I'll tell you."
She hated him so much that she gritted her teeth. How could a person be so bad?
This time, she didn't want to do what he wanted. It would be better if Zheng Zhou was alive. She didn't want to be fooled by him. She didn't react for a long time.
Gradually, Xie Sui's expression changed from blue to white. He was happy that she had no interest in Zheng Zhou, but sad that she hated him.
He said with a hint of sarcasm, "Zheng Zhou, it seems he won't survive today."
Wu Chun raised his bright eyes, "You can't kill him!"
"I'm not a gentleman." Since he saw that she was still alive, all the anger in his heart was released, "I might as well tell you. I just had his wrists and ankles smashed, and a few iron nails nailed into his body..."
His tone was cold with a hint of jealousy, "He looked at you with such a hateful look, why should I let him go?"
He thought for a moment, "Well, there's also the one called Huang Cui..."
"What did you do again?!"
He smiled, "Don't worry, she's still alive and well, but because she concealed your whereabouts, I locked her up. You can still see her when you return to the palace."
Wu Chun said angrily, "You are simply despicable and shameless. They are all innocent. They just helped me out of kindness. What's wrong with that?"
Xie Sui pursed her lips unhappily, "If they are innocent, then I am not innocent? When you set fire to Fengchun Palace and left me alone in Yuning Palace, did you ever think about my innocence?"
"Could it be that you will mourn for me for seven days, not being able to eat or sleep?"
Xie Sui opened his mouth, but could not utter a word, as if a thorn was stuck in his throat.
Wu Chun sneered, "Look, you didn't."
How do you know I didn't? Ah Chun.
He thought.
But he couldn't say it.
The atmosphere in the car became colder again. As they headed north, the weather became more and more bleak. The fallen leaves curled up coldly as if looking for a warm place.
Wu Chun thought that she might never find a safe place in her life.
Xie Sui, with a cold face, asked for a soup pot through the curtain and stuffed it into Wu Chun's palm.
Wu Chun took it without any emotion and covered his hands.
A month later, Wu Chun returned to the imperial capital.
It has been almost a year since I saw this towering red-gold cage again.
Wuchun entered Kunning Palace. The servants were not surprised at all that this woman who committed the crime of deceiving the emperor could still return safely and was even crowned as the empress. They called her "Empress" in a normal and respectful tone.
Her treatment was naturally much better than before, from the servants' dedicated service to her food, clothing and daily expenses.
Xie Sui put her in Kunning Palace and went to deal with his affairs. When he came back at night, he asked her, "Do you want to see Huang Cui?"
Wu Chun wanted to, so Xie Sui took her there. Huang Cui was in the cold palace and had been serving Shen Ying for a while. Wu Chun was relieved when she saw her. Except for her pale and haggard face, she was not injured.
"I want to talk to Cui Niangzi, you go out."
Huang Cui squeezed her hand tightly, as if she was surprised that Wu Chun dared to speak to the emperor in such a bossy way.
Xie Sui laughed, "Half an incense stick of time." This book is exclusively compiled by the LK team for you.
After Cui Niangzi's words, Wu Chun finally knew how Xie Sui found her.
On the day she left, Xie Sui came, but something happened on the way. After a while, he sent people to find her again and arrested her. He threatened Huang Cui with her biological parents who were hundreds of miles away. No matter how fierce Huang Cui's temper was, she had to tell everything because of the emperor's majesty.
Xie Sui followed the clues given by Huang Cui and tracked down the whole process. The emperor, who was well-connected, had the intention of playing with her. He did not show up until she was about to reach Southern Xinjiang, which completely extinguished her hope.
Huang Cui smiled bitterly and said, "Don't blame me for being selfish. If I knew you were this kind of person, I would never have anything to do with you. Your man is the current emperor. If you want to escape, it's really too difficult."
"I know, Madam Cui, I deceived you first, you can blame me. I will find a way to let him let you go as soon as possible."
Wu Chun walked out of the door and got on the sedan chair in less than half an incense stick of time.
Xie Sui sat in the sedan chair and said lightly, "Go to Kunning Palace."
Wu Chun wrapped up the fox fur coat on her body.
In the cold night, a few dim yellow lanterns were like a lonely boat drifting on the sea, unable to illuminate the road ahead, just like the infinite despair rising in her heart.
This year should be the coldest year in her life.
