◎ “We will have no regrets.”◎
Perhaps he was talking to the system, An Jiu was a little absent-minded.
She couldn't remember when she sat on the wedding bed. It seemed as if her memory was faulty. The joy and noise around her were like a river, and she was floating on it. She was pulled into a boat and suddenly felt down to earth.
At this point, the bride's procedures have been completed. Next, the groom will go out to receive guests, and she will be left here to wait alone.
An Jiu was already familiar with the entire process and waited silently with his knees crossed.
However, Pei Ji always gives people unexpected results.
As soon as An Jiu sat down, he ordered someone to bring steaming hot food and put it on the table beside him so that An Jiu could eat some if he was hungry.
Generally, on the wedding day, the bride has no time to eat and is not allowed to eat.
I don't know where these rules come from.
Pei Ji didn't stay too long after serving the food. The guests outside were still waiting for him to toast them, so he left with his people, leaving the bride and Lin Qingyan who accompanied her alone in the room.
I heard the sound of a door closing, and then Lin Qingyan's voice: "How did he know you didn't eat? How considerate."
An Jiu thought, of course she knew. On the day she married King Ming, her stomach was growling with hunger, and then she was fed a stomach full of dried fruits.
She still remembered this incident clearly, and before preparing for the wedding, she complained about it unintentionally, but she didn't expect that he would keep it in mind.
Lin Qingyan brought the bowl, which contained round and white dumplings, and asked An Jiu to eat them with a spoon. It was a cold day, but after eating a bowl of sweet dumplings, his cold hands and feet also warmed up.
There was a noisy sound coming from outside the house. Although the new house was a little far from the banquet hall, one could still hear the almost boiling voices, mixed with laughter and toasts from time to time. Everyone was very happy.
In such a lively atmosphere, An Jiu's heart was surprisingly calm.
She could even hear her own calm voice saying, "Qingyan, please help me pass the bowl out, and find something to eat for yourself. Didn't you have dinner too?"
"But you're alone..." Lin Qingyan hesitated.
An Jiu said: "It's okay, it's just for a while, I'm not a child who needs company."
An Jiu had no family, so naturally she had no maids to marry with. She was not used to the maids in Yaowang Valley, so she was accompanied by Lin Qingyan only. Jin Yanwan wanted to come, but her stepmother was seriously ill, so she only sent a generous gift.
When Lin Qingyan heard this, she touched her empty belly, nodded without hesitation, and went out soon.
The new house where An Jiu is now is Pei Ji's room.
After Lin Qingyan went out, she lifted her veil and opened the secret compartment.
The bottle in the secret compartment did not change at all, and the owner did not realize that the secret he had hidden had already been discovered.
An Jiu picked up the jade bottle, walked to the table, gently pulled out the cork, and poured the two transparent little bugs into the two wine glasses on the table.
The insect was transparent all over and disappeared once it fell into the wine cup, as if it had melted into the wine. According to her understanding, the insect would not wake up until it came into contact with human flesh and blood.
During the whole process, An Jiu was not at all flustered and his hands did not tremble at all.
Then she returned the jade bottle to its original place, closed the secret compartment again, sat back on the wedding bed, and covered her head with the veil.
When Lin Qingyan came back, she didn't find anything unusual.
It's as if nothing had happened and everything is normal.
As soon as Lin Qingyan came back, she said excitedly: "Brother He was drinking with others at the wedding banquet. It was said that someone challenged him to a sword fight, and the loser drank. It was very lively."
"Where is Pei Ji?" An Jiu asked.
Lin Qingyan said: "He drank quite a lot too. After all, it was a big day. I have never seen him as happy as he is today!"
An Jiu had been wearing a veil the whole day and had never seen Pei Ji's face. She didn't know what she meant by happy. Pei Ji usually had a smile on his face, and people could tell that he was very happy. Perhaps he really couldn't restrain his inner joy.
An Jiu felt inexplicably depressed. She exhaled lightly and said with a smile, "After a while, Brother He will be as happy as Pei Ji is today."
Lin Qingyan: "Oh, you..."
In less than two months, it will be Lin Qingyan and He Ziqing’s wedding date.
"By the way, after your wedding night tonight, you must tell me about your feelings... I will make some preparations..."
An Jiu couldn't help laughing and asked her, "What preparations are you making?"
There were only two people in the room, so Lin Qingyan lowered her voice and said shyly, "I heard that it would be very painful, so I'm a little scared..."
An Jiu also lowered his voice, "Okay, if there's a chance... I'll definitely tell you."
Outside the house, there was a bustling crowd of people, and inside the house, two young girls were shyly whispering, hiding their unspoken love.
An Jiu originally thought that time would pass very slowly. After all, waiting always makes people feel tormented.
However, she didn't know whether it was because of Lin Qingyan's company or something else. She only felt that not long after, she heard a series of footsteps outside the house, mixed with teasing and noise.
After a while, the door of the bridal chamber suddenly opened, and the laughing crowd instantly quieted down.
Through the gap under the veil, An Jiu saw a pair of red shoes walking towards her, with fiery red hems hanging from the shoes.
The other person was standing beside the bed, facing her red embroidered shoes, less than half a meter away.
There were many people coming in, but the surroundings were very quiet, with only the voice of the matchmaker echoing in everyone's ears.
The bridesmaid was reciting some beautiful wishing poems beside the newlyweds, such as flying together with wings and growing old together. Because she recited them in a singing tone and dragged out the verses, there was a solemn and festive feeling, as if they really carried the power of blessing.
An Jiuan listened quietly, with his eyes slightly lowered.
As I was thinking in a daze, he was actually so obedient and not impatient at all.
It seemed like a long time had passed, but it also seemed like only a moment. When An Jiu was distracted, he heard the bridesmaid say in his ear: "Groom, lift the veil!"
Then there was a burst of noise in the room again, and they were all guests who were familiar with Yaowang Valley.
"Hurry up and lift it up, so that everyone can see the bride!"
This part is called "making trouble in the bridal chamber". It's said from somewhere that letting the unmarried young guests make some noise will make the marriage of the newlyweds happier, and the young people making trouble in the bridal chamber can also share in the good fortune.
A jade scale suddenly appeared in An Jiu's field of vision, extended under her eyelids, and slowly lifted up the fiery red veil.
Her vision suddenly brightened, and she couldn't help but close her eyes. Then she slowly opened her eyes and looked up.
Pei Ji was wearing a red robe, which made his pale face look a bit healthy. His black hair was tied up high with a golden crown, and the man's eyes and eyebrows were filled with an uncontrollable smile.
Those narrow black eyes were slightly curved at this moment, like the crescent moon in the sky.
He must have drunk too much, and his eyes were a little blurry. Even so, the moment the veil was lifted, An Jiu noticed that his dark eyes suddenly became bright as if a star had fallen in them.
Anyone who saw him could immediately feel how happy he was at the moment.
I can't hide it, and I don't want to hide it.
An Jiu's fingertips unconsciously pinched her palms, and the slight pain made her suddenly wake up. She hurriedly lowered her eyelids, and her thick long eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings.
"Oh, the bride is shy!" people laughed.
"What a beautiful bride!"
She was indeed beautiful. The girl wore a golden phoenix crown with a blood-red gem hanging between her eyebrows, which made her palm-sized face look even whiter and more flawless. She had a delicate nose, cherry lips, and beautiful eyebrows and eyes. At this moment, with her eyebrows lowered and her cheeks slightly flushed, she looked as beautiful as a painting.
Pei Ji also laughed, and then he cupped his hands and said to everyone: "My wife is shy, please bear with me."
There was an unconcealable smile in his voice when he spoke.
Everyone gave him face, and the laughter died down a lot afterwards. No one made a fuss anymore, and everyone just watched in silence with kind smiles on their faces.
An Jiu saw everything, but continued to lower his head, pretending to be shy.
The veil was lifted, and then the wedding wine was drunk.
As the bridesmaid sang in unison, the two men reached out for the two wine glasses on the table, then, in full view of everyone, they crossed their arms and drank the wine in the glasses.
The cold wine falls into the mouth, bringing with it a scent of peach blossoms and spicy alcohol.
After the wine entered his stomach, An Jiu's eyes turned, and he saw the man opposite him put down his wine glass and drank up all the wine in the glass.
An Jiu felt carefully and found a slight pain in her abdomen, which disappeared in an instant, as if it was just her illusion.
She looked at Pei Ji again, and he was also unaware of anything. His eyes were as bright as stars and dazzling as he looked at her. Her shadow was reflected in his pupils, as if he could only see her.
Since entering this room, he has been looking at her with this gaze, never straying for a moment.
This eagerness is visible to the naked eye.
So after drinking the wedding wine, the guests stopped making a fuss and left the scene soon.
It was really too late, it was after midnight and the night was deep.
As the crowd dispersed, the cold winter night became quiet. After the voices outside disappeared, there was no other sound.
In the complete silence, only the occasional popping sound of a red candle.
Pei Ji closed the door and turned to walk towards the bed. The girl in the red wedding dress was still sitting beside the bed, motionless, just looking up at him quietly.
He always felt something was wrong, the way she looked at him seemed to have some other meaning.
However, he drank too much, and he accepted all toasts from everyone. After his stomach was filled with wine, his head began to feel dizzy, and he could not tell whether he had seen it wrong or not.
The candlelight flickered, and the emotion that was swelling in his chest was like a barrel filled with water, swaying back and forth, creating layer upon layer of ripples that made his heart surge and he could not calm down.
"Jiu'er, you finally married me."
Pei Ji gently took the girl's hand which was resting on her knees.
The little hand was cold, without a trace of warmth.
He was slightly stunned, then he held the soft little hand in his palm, wanting to warm it with his body temperature: "Why are your hands so cold?"
An Jiu: "It's a bit cold."
Pei Ji had just sat down beside the bed, and upon hearing this, he immediately wanted to go out and call someone to light a fire.
Just as I stood up, I felt a pulling force on my hand.
The girl's slender fingers gently hooked his fingertips, without using much force, but he seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move a step.
"No, I'm going to bed soon anyway."
His newlywed wife, his beloved woman, spoke to him from behind in a softer tone than ever before.
With a bang, it was as if a fire was lit inside his body, and his body, which was already hot due to drunkenness, became even hotter.
Pei Ji's Adam's apple rolled, and it took him a long time to find his voice: "Yes, rest, go to bed and you won't be cold anymore."
He spoke incoherently, and the look he gave her became more and more scorching. There seemed to be flames burning in his dark eyes, so bright that it was astonishing.
An Jiu lowered her head shyly and didn't look at him.
"You reek of alcohol." She spoke in a low voice, as if she was scolding him, but her face showed little expression.
Pei Ji certainly noticed that his newlywed wife did not seem to be in a good mood, but he did not think much about it. He just thought that she was too cold or did not care about these empty ceremonies - after all, she had experienced three weddings.
Most importantly, his mind was already occupied by what was about to happen, and the alcohol made him lose his former sharpness, making it difficult for him to notice some clues.
His heart was filled with joy, satisfaction, and happiness and joy that almost overwhelmed him.
He thought about the future, and thought that after the poison was removed, he would live with her till old age, and maybe have a few more children. He would give them all his love, and he would teach his son martial arts and his daughter medicine, and if she wanted to learn both, that was fine.
What is difficult to say is that before preparing for the wedding, he had already thought of many suitable names in his spare time.
That was a beautiful and bright future different from the one his parents had.
Pei Ji was looking forward to that day, and today was the first day leading to that bright place, the beginning of perfection, and the starting point of all good things.
All day long, he felt like he was floating on the clouds. Everything around him seemed like a dream. It was hard to imagine that he had such a wonderful thing.
Pei Ji had thought countless times that he was not favored by God. He was destined to live a miserable life, a life worse than death, without seeing any hope or any glimpse of light.
Now, he is sincerely grateful to God for giving him a new life.
Even a person as evil as him can have a chance to start over and obtain all the good things in the world.
God finally favored him, didn't he?
Pei Ji could not remember how he took off his clothes and got into bed. He only remembered that when he came to his senses again, the girl had taken off all the jewelry on her hair, and her fair little face was still covered with bright red makeup. She came close to him and gently rubbed the corners of his eyes with her slender fingers.
"Have you drunk a lot of wine?" There seemed to be a hint of worry in her eyes, and there seemed to be a mist around her eyes, so he couldn't see her specific expression clearly.
Pei Ji raised his hand and grabbed her hand. The little hand was still cold. He held her tightly and pressed it against his hot chest, warming her with his body temperature. He whispered, "Not much."
There cannot be too many days like this, and such joy.
The girl struggled slightly, lowered her eyes and said softly, "Let me go, I'll go close the bed curtain."
Pei Ji stared at her without blinking.
Was it because of the upcoming wedding night? She was inexplicably not as unruly as usual tonight, revealing the tenderness of a little girl.
Although Pei Ji was a little surprised, his heart became even more burning with the girl's unusual behavior.
The fiery red bed curtains fell, blocking out the candlelight outside, and the two of them seemed to be in a small space. Only a faint light came through the curtains, bringing out false and imaginary light and shadows, like a dream that seemed real and unreal.
Pei Ji's vision was not blocked. He could see the girl's trembling eyelashes and the small hand touching his collar.
He reached out and held her hand, with a thick smile in his throat: "So urgent?"
The soft little hand was getting colder for some reason, and was still trembling slightly. Pei Ji frowned slightly: "Are you feeling unwell? Let me feel your pulse."
As he said this, he was about to feel the girl's pulse, but was easily avoided the next second.
Following the voice, An Jiu leaned over and put her arms around the man's neck. As if she was afraid of something, she said in a trembling voice, "I'm not feeling uncomfortable, I'm just a little scared."
Pei Ji hugged the soft and petite body in his arms. He had hugged her before, and had even done worse things, but nothing could make his heart beat faster than a simple hug like tonight.
"What are you afraid of?" His voice was hoarse, like grains rolling over sandpaper.
At this moment, he was hugging his wife.
His only wife, his beloved woman, whoever saw her from then on would call her Madam Pei. From then on, she took his surname and became one with him and his wife, inseparable.
Just thinking about it makes my blood boil uncontrollably.
"I'm afraid of pain..." The girl's soft and trembling voice rang in his ears. The rest of the words were almost inaudible, and along with the air flow, it seemed to scratch his heart.
Pei Ji's voice became even hoarser. He swallowed and replied in a low voice, "Don't be afraid."
How could he bear to let her feel pain?
He pushed the hair away from her forehead and bent down to kiss her.
Anjiu could no longer feel the cold of winter. In this small space, the air was warming up and breathing became suffocating.
Her fingers trembled uncontrollably as they threaded into the man's dark hair and felt a damp heat.
"Enough, that's enough, get up..."
He wanted to kiss her again, but An Jiu subconsciously turned her head away and avoided the kiss.
The man paused for a moment, then chuckled and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, I won't kiss you. I'll go rinse my mouth."
He stood up and tried to leave, but An Jiu held him back, her voice still trembling as she said, "Don't go."
Pei Ji was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what she meant.
The girl was hesitant to speak, and when he looked over, she turned her face away slightly, and only the corners of her lips slightly pursed revealed a hint of uneasiness.
She still couldn't relax, and Pei Ji didn't want to scare her by being too hasty. Also, since dawn would be in another hour, he planned to let her rest first and talk about it tomorrow.
He was always reluctant to force her, and even when detoxification was imminent, he was willing to delay it for her.
An Jiu didn't say anything else. She could actually sense his plan. They couldn't delay it until tomorrow. When it got light, he would definitely discover that the insect had been tampered with.
So, this is the last and best time.
Who could have thought that he was looking forward to their future while she was planning to leave.
After a brief silence, the man's faint laughter reached my eardrums, as if he couldn't help laughing: "Okay... I won't leave."
Her face couldn't help getting hot.
An Jiu couldn't help but take a deep breath, and the next moment she noticed that he had stopped moving.
The man's hesitant voice came: "How about waiting a little longer?"
An Jiu shook her head. She reached out her hands, put them around his neck, and kissed him on the lips.
The man's thin lips were hot, and even his kiss was like a gentle breeze and drizzle. The entanglement of lips and tongue was incredibly gentle.
As the kiss deepened, An Jiu couldn't help but groan and bit the corner of his mouth uncontrollably.
At this moment, she felt an unbearable, intense pain. Even though she had been prepared, it was too sharp and caught her off guard.
Tears immediately rolled out of An Jiu's eyes.
So this is the pain he experiences every time the poison attacks him?
The man let her go, and asked in a doubtful tone: "Does it hurt?"
Logically, it shouldn't be painful. He had checked many books, asked other people for advice, and did a lot of homework, just to make her happy.
However, in the dim light, the tears falling from the girl's eyes, the obvious pain between her brows, and her face turning pale in an instant made Pei Ji stop subconsciously.
Maybe he didn't do enough to make her so uncomfortable.
He thought guiltily and was about to get up.
The next second, he was hugged tightly by the girl. She pressed his back with both hands and took the initiative to face him.
"I, I'm afraid of pain. It's okay." She said, her voice filled with uncontrollable, broken tears.
Pei Ji really wanted to see if he had hurt her, but the girl kept pestering him. She buried her face in his chest. He couldn't see her expression but could only feel her nervousness, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
That kind of feeling is definitely not something you can experience when you solve the problem yourself.
"Pei Ji, I want a complete wedding." The girl urged again. Because she buried her face, her voice sounded a little unclear, as if she was crying, "Please don't let me have any regrets, okay?"
Pei Ji's forehead was covered with sweat, which was dripping down his chin. If he hadn't been concerned about her feelings, wouldn't he have wanted to continue?
It takes a tremendous amount of willpower to be able to restrain oneself to this extent.
Hearing these words, the string that had been stretched tight in Pei Ji's mind suddenly broke, and his rationality faded away.
"How can we regret? We won't have any regrets."
His voice was hoarse as he spoke in a deep voice, and his figure in the dim light enveloped her.
The girl whimpered and dug her fingertips into his flesh, but the pain was nothing to him.
She was crying, and he heard it.
She must be in pain, and so tense that he could not move. He should have stopped, but those words kept echoing in his ears.
How can there be any regrets?
Pei Ji told her personally that they would have no regrets.
This time it was his fault that he was not skilled enough. After tonight, he will study hard and will never make her feel uncomfortable again.
Although thinking this way, Pei Ji still couldn't bear to continue for too long. Listening to the crying in his ears, he felt distressed and satisfied. He didn't control himself deliberately, but tried to compress the time as much as possible, and wanted to evacuate as soon as it was over.
But just as she stepped back a little, soft arms wrapped around her neck again. The girl raised her head, and her palm-sized face was dotted with crystal tears.
"Don't, don't go, wait a moment." She spoke intermittently with trembling lips.
Pei Ji's drunkenness evaporated with sweat, and his feverish head gradually cooled down. His heart was burning. He wiped away the tears from her eyes, and asked with amusement and heartache: "What are you waiting for? Haven't you had enough?"
Why is she so clingy tonight?
The girl's long eyelashes were slightly raised, her dark eyes were filled with sparkling tears, and she stared at him without blinking, with a look that was inexplicably sad.
She choked up and said word by word: "Pei Ji, I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry, I..."
Before she could finish her words, she suddenly started coughing violently, with large streams of red liquid gushing out of her mouth.
It was clearly the same red as a wedding dress, a red that made him ecstatic all day long.
At this moment, Pei Ji felt extremely cold all over, cold to the bone.
He seemed to hear the sound of blood flowing backwards throughout his body.
The author has something to say:
[Special note: The male protagonist is poisoned, and the female protagonist has to detoxify him. The detoxification process will cause severe pain, so the female protagonist said she was afraid of pain. This is required by the plot and cannot be modified.]
