Chapter 168 Ling Zhao, Do You Think I Am Not Clean?
Without waiting for Shen Yuanwei to speak, he pointed at the small couch and said, "Wait, I'll go move the small couch over so you don't worry about me."
Before he stood up, he lowered his head and kissed Shen Yuanwei on the forehead, "You, you've suffered a lot today. Seeing you in so much pain, I feel so sorry for you. How can I bear to make you suffer more?"
Shen Yuanwei squinted her eyes and looked at the handsome man who was so close to her. She thought that the pain of her wound would be alleviated a little if the handsome man spoke sweet words to her tenderly and lovingly.
Having a young and handsome husband by her side, this is the life she should live.
Xiao Lingzhao easily moved the small couch, which required several people to move, to the side of the bed.
He went to get some bedding and spread it out, and asked Shen Yuanwei to hand him a soft pillow, then he lay down hugging the pillow.
After being tired for a few days, I felt comfortable when I lay down.
He turned sideways to look at Shen Yuanwei, and saw Shen Yuanwei smiling and saying to him, "It feels so good to be home, right?"
He smiled, "Do you think so too?"
Shen Yuanwei nodded, "I dream of leaving that place. I dream of returning to our own home, lying here, lying next to my husband. I would be much happier."
Xiao Lingzhao felt warm in his heart.
Although the emperor took Yuan Wei away, in Yuan Wei's heart, the Xiao family was her home and he, Xiao Lingzhao, was her husband.
He stretched out his hand, "Come on, give me your hand, I want to hold your hand."
Shen Yuanwei handed over her hand, and Xiao Lingzhao held it in his palm as if he had found a treasure.
After several months, he finally felt at ease when he held the hand that could only calm his soul.
He used his other hand to gently play with Shen Yuanwei's hair, "Go to sleep. You've suffered a lot today and need to recharge your batteries. So do I. Let's have a good sleep first and talk to each other tomorrow."
Shen Yuanwei hummed.
Xiao Lingzhao closed his eyes, then suddenly opened them again and asked her, "Do you want to go to the toilet?"
Shen Yuanwei blinked her eyelashes, "Just now Divine Doctor Song called the maid to help me..."
Xiao Lingzhao smiled and said, "Okay, if you need to get up at night, just push me and I will help you."
Shen Yuanwei blushed and urged him, "Stop talking and go to sleep."
Seeing Xiao Lingzhao close his eyes, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She was very glad that she was not the type who often woke up at night, otherwise it would be so embarrassing.
There was a candle burning in the room, the light was dim. Shen Yuanwei's wound was painful, and she couldn't sleep at all.
She glanced sideways at Xiao Lingzhao's handsome profile. She didn't know how much time had passed, but the words that had been kept in her heart for a long time suddenly couldn't be held back in this quiet night, and she couldn't help but ask.
"Xiao Lingzhao, you really won't dislike me?"
Xiao Lingzhao, who was about to fall asleep, immediately clenched Shen Yuanwei's fingers when he heard this and slowly opened his eyes.
He was very sleepy, but he knew that if he didn't answer Yuan Wei's question, Yuan Wei would not be able to sleep tonight.
He stared at Shen Yuanwei's haggard face.
He placed Shen Yuanwei's fingers to his lips and kissed them gently.
"I only allow you to ask this once. You are not allowed to ask again, and you are not allowed to think about this matter in your heart."
"Listen, I have never disliked you, not before and not in the future. In my opinion, loyalty of the heart is more precious than chastity of the body."
"Your heart has only belonged to me from the beginning to the end. You would rather not be a concubine than stay with me forever. Do you think I would still mind that you and the emperor had such a short time together?"
"We are going to be together forever, so what does it matter if he possesses you for a few days?"
"He has never left a mark on your heart, so how can I feel that he has left a mark on you?"
"You are clean, very clean. You are my Madam Xiao, the one I want to stay with for the rest of my life."
Xiao Lingzhao gently stroked Shen Yuanwei's cheek.
"Also, listen, everyone knows that you are Concubine Zhao. There will definitely be people talking about the things between you, me, and the emperor in the future. But no matter what outsiders say, don't listen. In my heart, you have always been just my wife. You have no other identity."
Shen Yuanwei stared at Xiao Lingzhao without blinking, her eye sockets feeling a little hot.
She hooked Xiao Lingzhao's fingers greedily, her voice slightly hoarse.
"You told me not to listen to other people's gossip, but what about you? Can you really not mind what others say? On weekdays, there will be people whispering about you behind your back. When you go to the battlefield in the future, those enemies will use this to attack you and disturb your mind..."
"They will curse you viciously, saying that you are a man who cannot keep his wife, that your wife is a fallen woman, that your monarch once took your wife away and yet you are still so loyal to him. They will even..."
Shen Yuanwei couldn't utter those more vicious words.
She pursed her lips and whispered, "In short, my existence will definitely become your weakness when people attack you in the future. They will use all kinds of vicious words to break your defense and make you collapse..."
Xiao Lingzhao pinched her fingers.
He said, "Do you think I haven't thought about what you said? I have thought about it a long time ago. I know that they will use the matter between you and the emperor to humiliate me in the most vicious way, but, so what? Your husband is a great general who fought his way out of a sea of blood and corpses. The heart of a general is as solid as a rock. How can they break it with just a few words?"
He leaned over and gently kissed Shen Yuanwei between the eyebrows.
"Do you think that a person who can be indifferent to life and death would care about your chastity and what others say about you?"
"Live a peaceful life and don't worry about anything. Your parents won't dislike you, and neither will I. Maybe..."
His eyes dimmed slightly.
"Perhaps if we have a child in the future, his young mind will not be able to withstand the rumors from the outside world, and he will be instigated to resent you as an unfaithful mother..."
"But it doesn't matter. Let's not have any more children. If the child you gave birth to after ten months of hard work will become a weapon for others to use against us maliciously, and will cause our Xiao family to have no peace, then don't give birth to him."
"We are a family of four living together in harmony. No one can bring us down."
“…”
Shen Yuanwei looked at Xiao Lingzhao's chin with stubble, and her eyes felt sore.
Her heart was equally bitter.
She had long known that Xiao Lingzhao was innocent, but she had never expected that Xiao Lingzhao would be such a pure love warrior. When he married her, he promised to give her his whole life, and from then on he ignored all difficulties and obstacles and was determined to protect her throughout her life.
For her, I am not afraid of rumors, attacks or insults, and I am even willing to give up having children...
Shen Yuanwei rested her forehead against his chin, "Thank you, Xiao Lingzhao, thank you."
Xiao Lingzhao felt a little pain in his heart as he listened to her whispers.
"Why thank me? As a husband, isn't this what I should do? If I don't treat you well, how can I be worthy of you abandoning the emperor and two children and running to me at all costs?"
