Chapter 130 Jiang Shuyi, You Must Die Before Me
Fang Chu waited outside for a long time before he saw the Empress and Taoist Wu come out.
The queen's eyes were a little red, and although there were no traces of tears, Fang Chu still guessed that the queen had cried.
"The evil has been eliminated, your majesty can rest assured."
Wu Jianshan bowed and Jiang Shuyi said "hmm" in a dignified manner: "Thank you, Taoist priest. If I am no longer attacked by nightmares, I will definitely prepare a generous gift and go to Yanqing Temple to thank you in person."
"You are too polite, my lady. It is only a small favor for me."
Jiang Shuyi asked Cheng Lu to send Wu Jianshan away. She stared at the palace gate for a while before calling Fang Chu to go with her to the Ganqing Palace.
On the way, Fangchu hesitated for a while and gently reminded: "Your Majesty, why don't you take a walk in the Imperial Garden before going to see His Majesty."
Jiang Shuyi looked at her puzzledly.
Fang Chu pointed to her eyes and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's eyes are blinded by the wind, they are a little red, His Majesty might be worried if he sees them."
Jiang Shuyi was startled and quickly wiped the corners of her eyes.
"My lady, please be careful. The more you rub it, the redder it gets. Don't rub it. It will be fine after a while."
Jiang Shuyi listened to the advice and withdrew her hand. She looked at Fang Chu and hesitated to speak: "You..."
She knew that her eyes had been red for a long time. Fang Chu was attentive and must have noticed it when she left the house. It was not difficult for her to associate it with the fact that she had been crying, but she had never said anything. She only reminded her now and even made excuses for her.
"Your Highness, please don't think I am meddling in your affairs. His Majesty loves you. If you are still made to feel uncomfortable by so many palace servants following you, we will be held responsible and will be punished with death."
Fang Chu was afraid that the queen would say something she shouldn't, because she was not the only palace maid following behind her, and the others would also report to the emperor.
She interrupted the Empress before she finished speaking with a reminder.
Jiang Shuyi was certainly not so stupid as to ask Fang Chu if he had noticed anything.
Since Fang Chu was on her side, she knew what was going on.
＊
Pei Yan is handling government affairs.
Hearing the deliberately light footsteps getting closer, he curled his lips calmly but did not look up.
A purple peony suddenly appeared on the table in front of him, and then his eyes were blindfolded.
"Guess whether I am a human being now, or possessed by a ghost?"
Pei Yan was somewhat helpless, but he still cooperated with her: "It's neither a human nor a ghost, it's probably a peony flower demon."
Jiang Shuyi let go of his hand, walked around to his front, sat on his lap with ease, blinked, and said cheerfully, "Your Majesty guessed right!"
Pei Yan laughed and asked Cheng Shouzhong to bring a short embroidered cushion over. He said to Jiang Shuyi, "Sit on my lap. I can't handle government affairs. Sit here so you can be close to me."
Jiang Shuyi placed the small embroidered cushion next to Pei Yan's chair and sat on it. Then she found that it was much shorter and Pei Yan's legs could be used as a table.
She lay on him without any hesitation and played with the sachet on his waist.
Pei Yan was multitasking. While reviewing the memorial, he asked her, "Did the little devil get rid of him?"
Jiang Shuyi seemed to come alive when he mentioned this. She sat up straight and looked at him excitedly: "Yes, yes! The Taoist priest asked me to kill him with my own hands!"
That's strange.
Pei Yan asked gently: "So you saw what the little ghost looked like?"
He wanted to hear how the liar coaxed Jiang Shuyi.
"No, but the Taoist priest told me to call the little ghost in my heart and then look at the southeast corner of the window. Your Majesty, guess what happened?"
Pei Yan wasn't curious at all.
He put down the imperial pen, lowered his eyes and asked Jiang Shuyi: "What happened?"
Jiang Shuyi lowered her voice, her tone mysterious: "I waited for less than an incense stick of time, and suddenly, a gust of wind blew in, and the curtains in the southeast corner moved!"
Pei Yan: ...
It would be weird if the gauze curtain didn't move in the wind.
Jiang Shuyi was talking excitedly, seemingly not noticing the silence in Pei Yan's eyes: "It's almost time to say it's late. The Taoist priest told me that the little ghost is coming and asked me to kill it with my sword! I chopped at the curtain with my sword. Your Majesty, guess what happened?"
Pei Yan: "...You cut the curtains."
Jiang Shuyi's eyes widened: "How did your Majesty know?"
Pei Yan looked at her like this and sighed slowly.
"Jiang Shuyi, you must die before me."
Jiang Shuyi couldn't believe it: "What? Your Majesty wants me to die soon? Your Majesty has chosen a beauty and is tired of me? If that's the case, just tell me. I'm not the kind of person who would make trouble. I'll cut my hair and become a nun right now!"
"Isn't this just nonsense?" Pei Yan laughed and gently pinched her face: "I say one word, and you have a hundred words to counter me."
Jiang Shuyi's face was still full of hurt, and she looked at him angrily, as if she had been let down in some way.
Pei Yan explained helplessly: "If you die after me, no matter who I give you to, I will not feel at ease. You are not very smart... You have a pure heart. I am worried that when you are bullied, you will not be able to find me to cry to."
He just sighed casually, but saw Jiang Shuyi's eyes suddenly turned red, tears welled up, slid down the corners of her eyes, and wet his hands.
She looked up at him through the mist, sad and grief-stricken.
Pei Yan's heart skipped a beat.
"Why is that?"
How could he still care about government affairs? He held Jiang Shuyi on his lap, put his forehead against hers, and coaxed her a little helplessly: "I was just joking, why are you crying? You will live a long life and will die behind me. Yu'er will also take good care of you."
Jiang Shuyi cried and shook her head: "No, who wants that bastard to take care of me? Can't I live a long life with Your Majesty?"
"Okay." Pei Yan laughed, his voice extremely gentle: "I will live a hundred years with you, live and die together, don't be sad."
Jiang Shuyi was still crying and hugged him tightly: "It's all your majesty's fault for talking nonsense and making me sad. Your majesty must compensate me!"
Pei Yan did not respond: "What do you want?"
Even if she wanted the jade seal now, he could give it to her to play with.
Jiang Shuyi cried, "I want to sleep on the bed with your Majesty!"
Pei Yan's whole body tensed up.
In broad daylight, he naturally wouldn't think it was just an ordinary sleeping together.
He raised his eyes calmly and glanced at the palace servants serving in the palace. They were all well behaved and lowered their heads as if they had heard nothing. Pei Yan said coldly: "All of you leave."
Cheng Shouzhong felt relieved and quickly led his men back and closed the palace door.
"You are becoming more and more daring. Can you say such things in front of others?"
Pei Yan patted Jiang Shuyi's back and was about to let her get up when he heard her crying even louder: "Your Majesty doesn't want me anymore! Your Majesty doesn't even agree to my little wish. Either your body is not well, or you have chosen another concubine. I'd better leave the palace!"
Pei Yan's ears were buzzing.
"You're saying this again to provoke me." Pei Yan was a little unhappy and gently rubbed her waist: "Didn't you learn enough from your previous lesson?"
Jiang Shuyi's sobbing was even more fake: "It's over, you still want to teach me a lesson, Your Majesty doesn't love me anymore!"
"Jiang Shuyi, no matter what you say today, it will be useless."
Pei Yan's voice became slightly serious: "I can't indulge you with this kind of bad habits. Do you think you can get what you want by provoking me? I'm telling you, I'm not happy. You will be punished for your careless words. You won't be punished for the next three days."
