I was half asleep, and my memory is that I was sitting in a small plane flying over the sea, and then Xie Yuancheng said that accidents often happen on islands, so we must not go out.
I was just about to agree when I saw a cliff and fell off.
"ah!"
I was startled awake and looked up to see the antique-style bed curtains. Had I returned to the Great Zhao Dynasty?
"Ying'er, you're finally awake."
Xie Yuancheng was wearing his marquis's clothes. I looked at the quilt and the surroundings. Finally, he was back.
Where is my precious son?
"You only know Yu'er, why don't you ask your precious husband?"
“Yuancheng~” I grabbed his hand and shook it: “You’re right in front of me, why would I need to ask you?”
“This is Uncle Cui’s backyard. He rescued us.”
"And then what? You didn't forget everything before you saved us, did you?"
Xie Yuancheng helped me lie down properly. "Ying'er thinks I can forget. Once I've recovered my strength, I'll settle the score with them properly."
"I said 2020!" He hasn't forgotten everything, has he?
"No, Master said we came back from the time tunnel, so we're feeling listless. Ying'er's face is pale. I'll lie down with you for a bit."
He actually got into bed and lay down next to me: "Move over a little, I'm so sleepy."
"I'm not sleepy, Ying'er has been sleeping for three days."
"So long!" I quickly got up: "I need to go back to the manor."
"Not now. Your mother-in-law is setting up your funeral hall. If you go back to the capital, the news will spread that the prince consort has risen from the dead."
Why set up a mourning hall?
Xie Yuancheng pulled me back: "Of course it's to send off the prince consort. You still want to go back and provoke those girls? Don't even think about it."
"But I'm still alive! If I were to kick the bucket like this, my road to revenge wouldn't even have begun."
Why didn't I wake up sooner? Otherwise, I could have gone back to the manor. I don't want to just disappear like this!
"Ying'er, don't forget we're already married. Do you still want to go back to the palace to while away the time?"
Xie Yuancheng was rarely angry. I leaned against him and said, "I want to go back and make a comeback. How can someone die like this without knowing why?"
"I knew you'd be restless. When Uncle Cui asked if I wanted to send you back to the manor, I immediately objected." Xie Yuancheng twirled my loose hair with his fingers: "What are you trying to achieve? Just stay obediently by my side."
"No." The crown prince is at large, and I'm going to spend my whole life hiding in the shadows. Am I even the main character anymore?
"I'll get angry if you keep messing around."
"Yuancheng, you don't love me, you can't even fulfill this small request of mine."
"Is this what you call a small request? Now that your sister has gone back to Linyang, what are you going to do in the palace? The throne of Dazhao will change hands soon. You will stay with me and you are not allowed to go anywhere."
"Waaaaah, when a cunning marquis like you goes out, which girl won't swoon over you? If I ever get cheated on, I won't even know why."
I'm an expert at being unreasonable and argumentative. After watching a bunch of palace intrigue and domestic dramas from 2020, I was even preparing to unleash my ultimate move, but he just shattered all my hopes.
"Stop pretending to be wronged. Don't think that just because you've watched those brainless palace intrigue and domestic power struggle dramas, you're some kind of time-traveling woman. Do you think the people in the palace are stupid, just there to be played with?"
How will you know if you don't try?
"Once you try it, you can't come back. Do you still want to see your precious son?"
I brushed Xie Yuancheng's hand away from my chest: "Just say yes, I promise nothing will happen."
"Those are all lies, full of logical and logical flaws. Do you really think novels and TV dramas are real life?"
"Hmph, if you don't let me go back, I won't talk to you anymore, and I won't give you a daughter."
Xie Yuancheng leaned closer: "Neither threats nor inducements will work. Besides, you'll have a daughter whether you want to or not."
"Hey, stop talking nonsense, I'm sleepy and want to go to sleep."
"No way! Who was it that just made those grand pronouncements? Now pretend you're asleep."
I stopped Xie Yuancheng's outstretched hand. He goes to the gym all the time, while I just go there to have some fun. I'm no match for him. Luckily, someone was knocking on the door.
"My lord, the prime minister requests that you and your wife go to the front hall."
Xie Yuancheng grasped my hand: "We'll be there soon."
"Get up quickly, I need to wash and dress."
Xie Yuancheng pressed on relentlessly: "You went back to the palace without wearing men's clothing?"
“Say it again. If you hadn’t tampered with things, I would have been living a carefree life in the palace long ago. How could you have the right to scare me like this?”
Xie Yuancheng tried to come closer again, but I quickly said, "Uncle Cui is still waiting. You domineering marquis, get up now!"
He was both angry and annoyed, so I quickly reached out and pulled down the clothes hanging nearby. As soon as I finished dressing, I ran into a problem: my hair was down.
Xie Yuancheng laughed beside me, and I tossed him the comb: "My lord, why don't you hurry up and style your wife's hair?"
"Ying'er, are you sure I can do it?"
"Of course you wouldn't, so I'm going to wear it."
"No, but I'll comb it anyway."
He actually started combing my hair, and I immediately closed my eyes, too scared to watch. With his skills, even in 2020 people would have been wearing their hair down. I was afraid he would have given me a weird hairstyle.
Xie Yuancheng patted my shoulder: "My wife, look! The hair I combed for you is the best in the world."
I half-opened one eye, thankfully my hair was still intact: "I didn't know you had such skills. Not bad, I can take you to the street to comb the girls' hair from now on."
“If Ying’er really does that, I’ll strip you naked and throw you into a dark room.”
"mean."
I took out the rouge and face powder he had mixed for me from the bag, applied it to my face and lips, and felt much more refreshed.
Xie Yuancheng insisted on smelling around my neck for a long time before letting me open the door and leave. He said he would be there soon, but now it probably takes about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
He took a few detours and arrived at the front hall, where the Prime Minister was already waiting.
"Uncle Cui."
"You've arrived, please have a seat."
The prime minister is still as kind and benevolent as ever.
"Luckily, Xin'er and I were outside this time, so we called some people to go down and search. It's a good thing you were hanging in the tree, otherwise how would I explain to the Ninth Prince and Brother Ji?"
The prime minister, who had been all dignified at first, has now begun to lament the passing of spring and the coming of autumn.
Xie Yuancheng and I stayed for two years in 2020, so we couldn't feel that kind of grief. It's true that traveling can be a bad thing!
Xie Yuancheng tried to persuade him, saying that it was all fate and that it was a good opportunity for him to get rid of his identity.
It was he who stirred things up. All he knew was to restrict my movements. So what if I was close to Wan'er and the other palace maids? They're all young ladies, what was he worried about?
Even Lu Fengjun, thanks to his "turning the tide", I feel nothing but gratitude towards him.
The Prime Minister has finally stopped grieving, and I can finally relax a bit. I've been stuck in 2020 for so long, I just feel happy. I've thought of many ways to turn things around, but now I can only rely on Xie Yuancheng.
