Chapter 161: Wasn’t there a commotion on the road?
Pei Yan looked at Jiang Shuyi, whose expression changed several times, and said gently, "Read it to me once."
Jiang Shuyi glanced at him twice, made sure he was serious, and immediately crumpled up the letter into a ball and stuffed it into her mouth.
Pei Yan snatched it away quickly.
"Jiang Shuyi."
With these three majestic words, Jiang Shuyi lowered her head, but still snorted stubbornly: "I won't read it, even if you kill me."
Pei Yan taught him: "If you don't want to read it, then don't read it. What can I do to you? If you eat it, I can only cut open your stomach to take it out."
Jiang Shuyi glanced at Pei Yan secretly and realized that she had really pissed him off.
She hesitated for a moment, then quietly moved closer to Pei Yan, tugged at the corner of his clothes with her fingers, and shook it twice with grievance: "Your Majesty is so scary, he punishes people by disemboweling them just for eating paper..."
Pei Yan knew that she was just being nice, but there was no way he could continue to teach her a lesson.
The carriage was still moving forward, and he put the paper with densely written words on both sides, which was now a ball, back into the sachet at hand.
"Were you like this in your previous life? You acted like a spoiled child when you made a mistake, and that's how I got you to indulge in your wrongdoings."
This was the first time he mentioned his past life since they met again, and Jiang Shuyi was a little nervous.
Seeing that Pei Yan had no intention of getting angry, she pitifully told the truth: "It's all because of your majesty that you didn't make the decision for me like you did in this life. I can only go out and fight on my own..."
Pei Yan glanced at her calmly and said, "I don't know about my past life. If you want to blame me, just go and set up a tablet and scold him. You can't blame me."
Jiang Shuyi: ...
She simply had no place to reason. It was better when she pretended to have a nightmare before. At that time, Pei Yan would never be willing to talk to her like that. He had to speak softly and coax her every time.
Pei Yan saw that she was dispirited and continued to ask: "You haven't answered my question yet."
Jiang Shuyi paused for a moment before she remembered what he asked.
She felt depressed when she mentioned this. She looked up, tilted her head slightly, and looked at him in confusion: "In my previous life, Your Majesty seemed to dislike me. He clearly had someone around me and knew what I had done, but he didn't ask me for punishment. He also didn't comfort me like he did in this life, saying that he would never like anyone except me. He just watched me jumping around like a clown."
At this moment, Pei Yan suddenly wanted to remember things from his previous life.
But Wu Jianshan is dead, and there may be no more extraordinary people in the world who can do it.
He lowered his eyes to look at Jiang Shuyi and could only say, "I don't know."
Jiang Shuyi leaned into his arms and thought of the reason: "I have thought about it. It should be because I was not so close to Your Majesty in my previous life. I devoted all my heart to Pei Yu and my sister. Your Majesty didn't say it, but he must be angry in his heart. He watched me die. But I really died in the end. Your Majesty must have regretted it in his heart."
Although Wu Jianshan was a big liar, she felt as if she had witnessed the dream in which Pei Yan died to avenge her and for love. However, in the later dream in which Pei Yan was in the fairyland, she only had the feeling of being a bystander.
Pei Yan kneaded her earlobe, his tone gentle, but his eyes on her head were dark and unclear: "If you hadn't been reborn, would my position in your heart not be comparable to those two?"
Jiang Shuyi is not stupid enough to say that she can't compete.
But in her previous life, Pei Yan was indeed equal to her son and sister, and they were both close relatives.
If I really have to choose, I really can’t choose.
She coughed lightly, but before she could speak, her mouth was covered.
Jiang Shuyi whimpered twice and looked up at Pei Yan.
Pei Yan lowered his eyes indifferently: "Your cough is very fake, as if telling me that you are going to lie to me."
Jiang Shuyi: ...
She could only tell the truth when Pei Yan let go of her hand: "In the previous life, your majesty was indeed on par with them, and they were all the most important people in my heart. But after I was locked up, your majesty became the only person who mattered to me."
After a pause, seeing that Pei Yan's expression did not look much better, Jiang Shuyi quickly added: "From the beginning of this life, your Majesty has been the most important to me. Even if I give birth to another princess or prince now, who is very filial and sensible, he will never surpass your Majesty!"
After she finished speaking, she snuggled into Pei Yan's arms, rubbing against him and acting coquettishly.
The soft jade in his arms rubbed against him, and Pei Yan could only ignore her.
"I will not let you have another life."
He said this calmly, and Jiang Shuyi snorted, "I don't want to either. It just so happens that I have suffered a dystocia and hurt my body. In my previous life, I never got pregnant again until I died, and I probably won't get pregnant again in this life."
Pei Yan glanced at her belly and said, "No."
＊
Perhaps it was because of the mention of pregnancy that Jiang Shuyi remembered that they had not had sex since their reunion, so she pestered Pei Yan that night.
Pei Yan, however, acted contrary to his usual behavior and just let her sleep peacefully.
When Jiang Shuyi started to make trouble again, Pei Yan held her down and hit her lightly on the waist: "If you don't want to get pregnant, go back to the palace."
Jiang Shuyi didn't know what the connection was. How could the feng shui in the palace prevent people from getting pregnant?
Pei Yan saw that she was about to cry out of grievance, so he hugged her and coaxed her: "You don't have a personal servant now, and I didn't let Cheng Shouzhong and the others follow you. If I did anything to you, the people from the official post station would have to come in and clean it up. They would inevitably talk about it. Aren't you ashamed?"
Jiang Shuyi imagined the scene for a moment, and immediately gave up the idea and decided to go to sleep.
Pei Yan waited for the person in his arms to breathe steadily and finally exhaled slowly.
Even if she stopped using the incense, she wouldn't get pregnant for a while, but since Jiang Shuyi didn't want it, he couldn't allow anything to go wrong.
Contraceptive pills are harmful to the body, so he can only wait until he returns to the palace.
After confirming that Jiang Shuyi was sleeping soundly and couldn't wake up for a while, he got up and went to the bathroom...
＊
The emperor arrived in the capital two days later.
The emperor did not attend court for twenty days. The young Nineteenth Prince was ordered to supervise the country and act as regent, with Chu Ang and Guo Zhenxiong as his assistants, and the Empress behind the curtain. These three forces suppressed the situation. No matter how confused the officials were, fortunately there was no turmoil in the court.
Back in the palace, Jiang Shuyi almost burst into tears.
She lay on the large dragon bed in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, watching the familiar golden dragon soaring above the curtains, smelling the familiar incense, and sighed with lingering fear: "I almost couldn't come back..."
Pei Yan walked to the bedside and looked down at her: "I won't let you not come back."
The two had just taken a shower, their hair was loose, and there was still damp heat on their bodies.
Jiang Shuyi met his slightly deep eyes and paused for breath.
She wanted to sit up, but Pei Yan ordered her: "Lie down."
Jiang Shuyi didn't move, just fluttering her eyelashes, looking at him half expectantly and half panickedly.
"Wasn't there a fight on the road?"
Pei Yan didn't move. He just looked down at her and said slowly, "Now, do it again for me to see."
Jiang Shuyi's cheeks were slightly red, and her voice was thin and weak, but her momentum was not weak. She snorted with a hint of unwillingness to admit defeat: "Your Majesty, lie down too, and I will make trouble for you to see."
Pei Yan was naturally willing to indulge her first and then teach her a lesson.
As the two of them lay down on the bed, Jiang Shuyi took the initiative to hold him, and then the palace door was knocked from outside, and Cheng Shouzhong's tentative voice came: "Your Majesty, the Grand Tutor is kneeling outside the palace gate."
