She met a pair of icy black eyes. She panicked instantly; had he just…?
However, Qi Yu's hazy eyes quickly negated her guess.
Qi Yu was actually still drunk; it was just a bodily reaction.
However, the golden spiritual power within him was consuming the alcohol, and gradually, after he realized who the other person was, he immediately let go, and the alcohol instantly cleared up.
He warned her, "From now on, you must not approach me without my orders."
Xia Yixin felt a pang of resentment and retorted angrily, "We're already husband and wife. You've even given me the key to the storeroom. Does that mean I have to keep my distance from you every day?" Since she was married to him, she naturally couldn't refer to herself as "a commoner" anymore, and she was too embarrassed to say "I am a concubine," so she simply used "I".
Qi Yu was speechless after being rebuked, and after a long while, he let out a cold snort and went to take a bath alone in the back.
He was fond of cleanliness, and behind the hospital was a hot spring pool where he could bathe. Although it was not as large as the Dragon Pool in the Imperial Palace, it was still exquisite and clean.
Xia Yixin sighed and walked to the table to comfort her stomach. After she had eaten most of her food, she suddenly caught sight of the brocade boxes stacked on the other side of the table. Remembering the strange things the old women had said, she curiously opened them and took a look.
He glanced at her and his face instantly turned bright red.
Hehe!
She knew she shouldn't expect that frivolous little emperor to give her any "good" gifts.
The one that Shen Ruyu gave me before is still at the bottom of the box. This little emperor has given me even more different styles. I'm really afraid that their married life won't be harmonious.
She hesitated for a long time, unsure of what to do, so she simply put it back and pretended not to know anything about it.
She had just put it back when she suddenly heard footsteps behind her. Feeling guilty, she immediately hid far away.
"You, you're done washing? Then I'll go too." After she finished speaking, she ran to the closet to grab a change of clothes and ran off like the wind.
Qi Yu looked thoughtfully at the woman who was fleeing in panic, opened a brocade box, glanced at it, and raised an eyebrow slightly.
Xia Yixin dawdled for a long time before returning.
She was worried about sharing a bed with him that night, but when she returned, she realized she had worried too much. The man had already gone to the tatami in the side room, it seemed that he had been preparing to sleep in a separate bed with her all along.
All the previous shyness disappeared, replaced by grievance and sadness.
She knew they were now in a marriage of convenience, but...
She rolled around on the bed for a long time, clutching her blanket, but the more she rolled, the colder she felt. Suddenly, she felt a surge of heat in her head, grabbed her pillow and blanket, and moved to his bedside.
The tatami mat, originally meant for one person to rest on, was now completely full with a man lying on it. She hesitated, trying to squeeze in, but the man on the tatami mat immediately sat up.
"You really think I wouldn't dare kill you!"
He was furious and filled with murderous intent.
This was the first time she had ever been so shameless in pursuing someone so passionately, but having finally realized her own feelings and being alone with the person she liked in a room, she couldn't help but want to get closer to him.
She said in a serious tone, "Then kill me, sir. It's better to kill me than to be found out the next day that we slept in separate beds and be laughed at for spending the first night alone. Besides, sir said he would give me the honor of being the wife of the Eunuch. Isn't it only right that I sleep with the Eunuch?"
Qi Yu laughed in exasperation, "I will be back before dawn. You should go to sleep and don't come any closer."
He deliberately released a murderous aura, hoping to scare her away, but tonight, she was surprisingly difficult to deal with.
"What are you afraid of, sir?"
Xia Yixin was determined to go all out. Seeing the man's expression change, she replied, "You said before that you wouldn't give me anything. I know my place. What are you afraid of? Do you think I'd eat you?"
If anyone else had spoken like that, they would have been dead on the spot, but Qi Yu was speechless and only felt a hint of annoyance.
It seemed that she had hit a nerve with something.
Xia Yixin only realized the danger when she saw the man's face growing darker and darker, and she took several steps back.
After waiting for a long time, he did not draw his sword. Instead, he coldly said, "Then Madam, don't regret it."
After saying that, he walked towards their wedding bed.
Xia Yixin was stunned for a long time before she realized that her provocation had worked.
Her young wife made two trips back and forth, carrying the quilts and other things back, and also sweeping the sunflower seeds and peanuts on the bed onto the floor before scrambling inside.
Not long after, he blew out the light.
Lying back in bed, Qi Yu couldn't fall asleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, memories of the past ten years flashed through his mind.
Previously, he hadn't expected to remarry. He chose this identity because it would allow him to gain power more quickly and save him from the trouble of women.
But things can change in an unpredictable way.
Just as he hadn't expected to escape that calamity ten years ago, he was actually conscious before falling off the cliff, watching her chase after him, her face covered in tears.
Sometimes, he thought that if he hadn't seen her like that back then, he might have lived a more comfortable life. After all, simple hatred is much easier to bear than regret.
He lay in bed for nearly three years after falling off the cliff. During that time, a special golden spiritual power appeared in his body. In addition to repairing his body, it also gave him surging internal strength, which was something that ordinary people could not achieve even in a hundred years.
Unfortunately, the golden spiritual power seemed to have gone into hiding and never appeared again. His eyes could no longer see anything, and all the famous doctors he consulted could only say that it was caused by "emotional distress".
Initially, he was indeed filled with hatred and had a strong desire to kill Xia Jingfeng immediately, until he confirmed her death.
I had my suspicions, whether it was about his suddenly appearing goddaughter and grandson, or the remains, but the poison was administered by him personally.
Perhaps he also didn't want to believe that the woman with the child was her. Whenever he imagined her with another man, his heart would be filled with resentment.
