Midnight.
Wang Yi felt a weight on her body, and a big hand pressed on her arm.
When he opened his eyes, Zheng Yeheng's silhouette in the moonlight looked very much like Zhao Wu.
She was so frightened that she pulled her hand back suddenly, and then she saw who was coming.
"Yier, I'm sorry, were you scared?"
Zheng Yeheng actually got up, and Wang Yi went to see him before going to bed.
"Why are you up? Lie down quickly."
Zheng Yeheng squeezed in next to her without any hesitation, nestling his big body in her quilt like a well-behaved and docile golden retriever.
With Zheng Yeheng's head resting on his arm, Wang Yi reluctantly grabbed Zheng Yeheng's wrist with his right hand and felt his pulse, frowning: "Why did you come here instead of sleeping? Your internal organs are disordered, and you might die young. If you die, I won't leave you as a widow."
"Become a widow? If you say that, do you want to marry me?"
Wang Yi didn't say anything and tucked his arm into the quilt.
"What's wrong?"
"What's the point of marrying or not? The prince even wants me, so what's the point of status?"
"Of course it matters. I care."
Zheng Yeheng put his big hands over her, grasped her slender waist, and rubbed his warm face against her neck.
"I want to tell everyone that you are mine. If anyone looks at me even once, I will dig out his eyes."
"Then Zhao Wu has already taken half of your life."
"...I'll pull out his tendons sooner or later."
"I've been held captive for so many days, aren't you afraid that he has already taken me—"
"What nonsense! I rescued you with such difficulty, and now if you get hurt, you can only blame me for not protecting you well."
Zheng Yeheng tightened his arms, his body actually shaking with fear.
It was almost beyond saving.
It doesn't matter if he dies there, but he is afraid that Wang Yi will be stuck in the quagmire and have no hope of survival.
"I have a needle. If he dares to force me, I will use the needle to threaten him to commit suicide. That's why he has never been able to do anything to me." Wang Yi had to make this matter clear and not let others misunderstand him.
Although she was very fickle in her previous life, she was devoted to every boyfriend and never distracted.
Zheng Yeheng is even more different. He has almost sacrificed his life several times for this relationship. She should at least pay him the same respect.
Zheng Yeheng frowned and said in a muffled voice, "You're really different from other women. Others are afraid of being abandoned by men, but you seem to be fearless. On the contrary, I'm terrified to death, afraid that you'll leave me and turn to Zhao Wu's arms. When you're not around, I can't eat or sleep. When I think of him taking you away, I'm so jealous that I want to burn myself."
Listening to his innocent confession, Wang Yi felt warm in her heart, but when she thought about his identity and herself, she felt that some things were actually quite trivial.
She held Zheng Yeheng's big face and looked into his eyes: "Prince, have you ever thought that we might not be able to succeed at all?"
"Impossible. I've made up my mind about you, and no one can persuade me."
"What about the Emperor? How could he choose a daughter-in-law for you so casually? I'm just a village woman, a widow, and I've even given birth to seven sons. How could a middle-aged woman like me marry into the royal family?"
"If he doesn't agree, I won't return to Kyoto. Shengyun City has already been taken, and there are three other large cities north of the Qiong River. Without Zhao Wu blocking the way, these three cities are already in my pocket. Four cities as fiefdoms are enough for us to live out our days in peace."
"I can be with you, but as for the status, let fate take its course. As long as you are devoted to me, I don't mind—"
"I do mind. Don't worry, I'm capable of marrying the woman I love."
After Zheng Yeheng finished speaking, he came over and kissed her mouth. Wang Yi was so angry that she slapped him hard but couldn't push him away.
"Your internal organs are visible from the wounds on your back, and you still dare to do this!"
Wang Yi kicked him away, feeling both amused and helpless, and rolled to the inside.
"It's worth dying on you."
Seeing him rushing towards him again, Wang Yi dodged again.
"Ha. If you don't obey, you'll die of pain tomorrow from your wound bursting open."
Mentioning the wound, Zheng Yeheng lay on the kang and stopped moving.
It really hurt, and he didn't want to do anything with Wang Yi right now. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, so he just wanted to chat with her about this and that.
"But what medicine did you give me? I felt like my spine was almost broken after those two hammer blows, but now it looks like only superficial injuries."
"A thousand-year-old savage, combined with some tonics, won't die."
"A thousand years?"
Zheng Yeheng glanced at her sideways: "Do you know that one thousand-year-old ginseng is enough to buy a big house in Kyoto?"
"I have a lot of good stuff. I'll show it to you later. Will it help you recover your inner strength?"
"certainly!"
The three needles that Wang Yi inserted into his head stimulated his potential, and he did not suffer any serious internal injuries. Zheng Yeheng discovered this after he woke up.
Not only did it not damage his foundation, but it also improved his original power by a level. This was closely related to Wang Yi's timely replenishment of his internal energy with ginseng.
"That's good. I'll give you some more nourishment when you recover."
As soon as the word "additional characters" was mentioned, Zheng Yeheng's face came closer again.
"Hey, where do you want to mend it?"
Wang Yi: “…”
His brain is full of color garbage!
Before telling others clearly what was going on between them, Wang Yi still didn't want people to see them walking out of a room.
After talking for half the night, Zheng Yeheng was sent out.
I lay down feeling aggrieved, and soon it was dawn.
Hong Jiu pushed the door open first, brought some water for washing his face, and saw Zheng Yeheng lying there staring at him.
"Oh, Master, are you awake?"
