Chapter 69: Admit Your Mistakes to Me
Jiang Shuyi thought about it and felt that the two nightmares seemed to be barely connected.
Even with the Queen appearing, Pei Yan still felt a little abnormal.
Especially tonight, no matter how she thought about it, it seemed like after she died in her previous life, Pei Yan scolded her and helped her to get revenge.
It’s just that the tone and words are a bit inconsistent.
Jiang Shuyi didn't know whether she had the dream at night because she thought about rebirth during the day, or if there was really some other reason.
However, Fang Chu did not dare to agree with Jiang Shuyi and talk about matters of life and death.
"Did your Majesty dream of something? Why did you suddenly think of these unlucky things?" Fang Chu put a thin coat on the Majesty and asked carefully, "Do you want me to take you to see His Majesty now? Your Majesty will feel at ease with His Majesty by your side."
Jiang Shuyi also felt that it would be better to ask Pei Yan than Fang Chu about this matter.
She looked at the dark sky outside the window, feeling a little unhappy: "Your Majesty has been worried about Wen Huan these days. He has been exhausted during the day and finally got a good night's sleep. How can I disturb you..."
This is what it means to want to disturb.
Fang Chu didn't care about that. Before coming, His Majesty only ordered her to take good care of the Queen and not let her suffer any grievances. Now that the Queen wanted to see His Majesty, she would naturally go to see him. As for whether His Majesty was tired or not, it was not her turn as a servant to feel sorry for him.
"Perhaps His Majesty will feel refreshed and energetic when he sees Your Majesty happy." Fang Chu coaxed Her Majesty seriously, "Go ahead. Your Majesty now has the token bestowed by the Emperor, and the guards at the palace gate dare not stop you. Why do you have to put yourself in a difficult position and make His Majesty feel distressed?"
Jiang Shuyi felt that what Fang Chu said made sense.
After getting dressed with Fang Chu's help and wrapping herself in a cloak, she took out the jade pendant from the box and went out.
In the Qianqing Palace, Cheng Shouzhong was dozing off while sitting outside the inner hall door with his clothes on. Suddenly, someone pushed him, and his years of slavery made him wake up immediately.
It was a young eunuch on duty, who lowered his voice in panic and said, "The Concubine Jiang is here, holding the jade pendant and wants to see Your Majesty."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard hurried footsteps approaching. Cheng Shouzhong rubbed his eyes and got up quickly. Seeing Empress Jiang rushing in, he was so scared that he knelt in front of the palace door and asked in a daze, "What are you doing, Empress?"
Jiang Shuyi knew Pei Yan had fallen asleep, so she glanced towards the inner hall and lowered her voice to Cheng Shouzhong, "I want to go in and sleep with His Majesty. Please don't make any noise. I will go in quietly."
Cheng Shouzhong: ...
He looked embarrassed: "This, this..."
Fangchu showed him the jade pendant and said jokingly, "Eunuch Cheng, have you forgotten His Majesty's instructions and are going to disobey His Majesty's will?"
Cheng Shouzhong glared at her, but when he looked at the jade pendant, he really hesitated.
Thinking about how His Majesty treated the Queen with all his heart, what happened tonight should not be a big deal, so she gritted her teeth and agreed.
The door of the inner hall was gently pushed open. Jiang Shuyi took off her cloak and gave it to Fang Chu, then walked in quietly.
There was a bronze crane lamp in the hall that burned all night long, so although it was dark around, it was not pitch dark.
Jiang Shuyi walked to the dragon couch with ease, tiptoed to open the curtain at the foot of the bed, sat down, took off her shoes and socks, and got in.
Pei Yan always slept in an upright position when he slept alone, lying flat on the outside. Suddenly, he felt something pressing on his chest and wrapping around his waist.
He had been in a military camp before, and later had to be on guard all the time when fighting for the throne, so he developed a habit of being vigilant. His mind became clear almost instantly, and he slowly opened his eyes.
The thing on her body was still moving around. She pulled his hand and placed it on her waist, then pulled the other one. This time she didn't place it properly and placed it on the soft round drum. She adjusted it again and let the two hands hug her.
A familiar touch, Pei Yan knew who it was.
He didn't move, wanting to see what she was going to do by sneaking in so late at night.
However, Jiang Shuyi did nothing else but lay quietly on him, took a deep breath, paused, and took another breath.
...like she was sniffing him.
Pei Yan was somewhat speechless.
He moved his hand down and patted the softness, his voice slightly hoarse after waking up from a deep sleep: "What are you doing?"
Jiang Shuyi didn't expect that the person who had not woken up after being beckoned and tried to wake him up just now would wake up now. She was startled and trembled for a moment, then immediately relaxed. It was good that he woke up, and she felt more at ease after waking up.
"Your Majesty, give me a hug."
She spoke softly and coquettishly, her voice slightly depressed.
Pei Yan held her and turned her over, letting her lie on her side on the bed and nestle in his arms: "What's wrong? If you wanted to come to me, why didn't you come earlier?"
Jiang Shuyi buried her head in his chest and said in a muffled voice: "I know that your majesty is busy with government affairs, and I want to be more sensible and not disturb you..."
Pei Yan chuckled: "So you come to climb into my bed at night?"
Jiang Shuyi's voice became even weaker: "But I just had a nightmare again, I was terrified, I just want Your Majesty to accompany me."
Pei Yan stopped laughing and lowered his head: "Why are you having nightmares again? Have we been apart for too long?"
Jiang Shuyi thinks this is the reason.
She never had nightmares when she slept with Pei Yan. Recently, because of the Wen Huan incident, Pei Yan was quite busy and occasionally had to meet with close ministers in the Qianqing Palace. So she seldom came and always stayed alone in the Zhaoyang Palace at night.
Pei Yan asked again: "What did you dream about?"
When Jiang Shuyi thought of the dream, she couldn't help but feel cold. Feeling her shiver, Pei Yan hugged her tighter and said, "Don't be afraid. I'm here, no evil spirit dares to attack me."
Jiang Shuyi only thought about the cold feeling in her dream, and other things were not that scary.
She felt a little depressed, so she could only try to raise her head, looking at Pei Yan's silhouette in the dim light, and said half-truthfully: "I dreamed that I died, and His Majesty was very sad. He wanted to posthumously confer the title of Queen on me. I wanted to comfort His Majesty, but I couldn't open my mouth and couldn't make a sound..."
It was late at night and everyone was asleep. Pei Yan listened to the gentle words of the person in his arms. His heart suddenly ached and a feeling of emptiness and loneliness suddenly enveloped him. He subconsciously exerted force with his hands and almost wanted to rub Jiang Shuyi into his bones and blood.
Jiang Shuyi couldn't stand it any longer, she struggled a little, and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty is strangling me."
Pei Yan immediately relaxed his strength.
Before Jiang Shuyi could breathe a sigh of relief, she suddenly felt a pain in her back.
The slightly dull sound of slapping makes people blush in the middle of the night.
After realizing that she was beaten, Jiang Shuyi couldn't believe it: "Your Majesty, why did you beat me?"
Pei Yan lowered his eyes and looked at her, without moving his hand away, patting her threateningly: "Jiang Shuyi, I pamper you and indulge you, and allow you to play tricks, but you shouldn't talk nonsense about matters of life and death."
Before Jiang Shuyi could react, she was slapped again from behind. Feeling ashamed and wronged, she tried to reach her hands behind her back to protect herself, but was caught.
"Admit your mistake to me."
Jiang Shuyi was rarely ordered by Pei Yan in such a strong tone, especially after a nightmare when she was at her most vulnerable.
Her eyes suddenly turned red and tears began to roll down like a flood that had been opened.
