Chapter 76 Idiot
On her birthday, Chi Zhao took the opportunity to visit the Qin Zheng Hall on her way back to the palace in the afternoon to ask the Emperor for a favor, requesting that the prince marry her.
The Emperor was surprised that she would bring it up herself, but he readily agreed, as she had originally intended to include Lin Yanzhou in the list anyway.
The engagement between the prime minister and the prince caused a stir in the court and among the people. Inside the residence of the eldest prince, Xu Yixing broke down and smashed several tea sets.
He couldn't believe it. Chi Xiang, who had never been close to any man and had never kept a man in his harem, was going to get married, and to the prince he looked down on the most!
Aaaaaaahh ...
Neither of them cared about the shock of outsiders. Lin Yanzhou had just received the imperial decree of marriage when he suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with surprise. For the first time, he felt that his mother, the Empress, had done a good deed.
He happily accepted the imperial edict.
The only downside is that the imperial decree didn't order them to get married soon. Given Chi Zhao's personality, he'd definitely make him wait until they were older before getting married, hmph.
Forget it, it's good enough that we're engaged. Now he can openly go out and find Chi Zhao!
Happy~
Since the two became engaged, Lin Yanzhou no longer needed to sneak in and out of the Prime Minister's residence. Every day, he would take his token and leave from the palace gate to go to the Prime Minister's residence to find his fiancée, without fail.
Although Chi Zhao said he found it annoying, he still had people prepare medicinal meals for him every day.
On their way home from court, they would also buy some pastries that the young prince liked.
After a while, they fed him medicinal meals every day and always asked Yanzhou to eat a couple of bites of meat, which made him quite plump.
Chi Zhao was very satisfied, but when he returned home after court that day, as usual, he brought back some pastries for someone, but he didn't see Yan Zhou at home.
I asked the servants, and they all said he hadn't come today.
Chi Zhaoxin felt something was off.
Could something have happened in the palace?
However, no news came from her spies in the palace.
Just as I was thinking this, the steward's voice rang out from outside the door, "This old servant requests an audience with the master."
"Come in."
With a creak, the steward pushed the door open and entered, then gently closed it again. He stepped forward respectfully and said, "Master, news has come from the palace."
Chi Zhao frowned slightly. "Speak."
"The people in the Seventh Prince's palace said that the Seventh Prince had a fever since this morning, and the imperial physician was summoned. The fever has just subsided."
So you weren't feeling well; no wonder you didn't come.
Chi Zhao felt a little relieved and then said, "Have Physician Cao go and examine him again."
Imperial Physician Cao was her person. She was the best doctor in the entire Imperial Medical Academy, but she always hid her skills, so she didn't stand out.
She wouldn't feel at ease if she didn't have one of her own people take the young prince's pulse.
The butler responded and left.
At noon, Chi Zhao received news that the young prince was doing well.
She also sent word that the young prince should rest well in the palace and not rush to leave.
But despite her words, the young prince grew increasingly bold and refused to listen to her.
They had just told him to recuperate in the palace, but the family came over again that afternoon.
Chi Zhao was still handling official business in his study when the little prince hid by the door, peeking inside. His eyes were as red as a rabbit's.
The butler, who had just seen him at the door, was so frightened that he thought someone had bullied him and told him that the head of the family would stand up for him and that he shouldn't be afraid.
But he wasn't bullied; he just... remembered a lot of things.
Many things happened, but he forgot them.
How could I forget? Such wonderful memories...
The boy's eyes were watery, and when he was deeply moved, tears streamed down his face.
Chi Zhao vaguely heard some sobbing. Her heart tightened, and she thought it was a ghost in broad daylight. She subconsciously looked up and saw her poor little husband lying at the door looking at her.
Chi Zhao:......
Surprised and helpless, I stood up, walked over and pulled the person in from outside, then closed the door to keep out the cold wind.
"Didn't I tell you to rest properly in the palace? Why are you here again?"
She had a fever this morning, and came over as soon as the fever subsided. She's so clingy.
Chi Zhao's lips unconsciously curled up slightly.
Seeing her concerned expression, the young prince was even more moved. He buried his face in Chi Zhao's arms, his voice muffled as it came from inside her clothes, "Waaaaah, I missed you. I didn't want to stay in the palace alone. I wanted to see you."
Don't you get tired of seeing it every day?
The person in his arms snuggled closer and whispered, "I'm not tired of you, I'm not tired of you at all, I'll never get tired of you, I want to stay with you forever."
Fool.
Chi Zhao raised her hand and rubbed his lower back, as if to comfort him, "Then you can see him if you want to, why are you crying?"
"Because I miss you..."
The body in her arms shifted slightly, her face flushed, and she whispered, "You never used to rub this area."
Chi Zhao:? ? ?
The words she heard were so strange and inexplicable that she didn't react for a moment.
"Where did I used to rub?"
Her heart was pounding wildly. A hand took her hand and gently moved it down until it touched her sensitive spot.
Chi Zhao was startled.
Before he could speak, the person in his arms said sweetly, "Aren't you going to rub it? You used to love rubbing it. You said I have a lot of flesh here, and it feels so good to rub it..."
The boy's tone was tinged with an uncontrollable shyness.
He buried his face in her arms again.
Chi Zhao keenly sensed that something was wrong.
In this life, Yan Zhou is young, so she has never done such a thing to Yan Zhou. In the previous life, Yan Zhou was also young, and she did not do anything too outrageous until she abandoned the mission and fled.
So how did Yanzhou know she liked to rub this spot?
unless……
As if struck by a sudden thought, Chi Zhao's face turned cold, and she asked, "Have you remembered something?"
The other person hugged her tightly, nuzzled her, and obediently responded, "Mmm... I missed you so much. I'm so glad you're alright. You have no idea how scared I was when I heard them say you were attacked by zombies. What would be the point of my life if you died?"
If the person you love dies, then you don't want to live either.
The more the boy talked about those things, the more tears he shed, which made Chi Zhao even angrier. The hand that was originally on the boy's buttocks suddenly rose and then fell heavily down.
A crisp "smack" rang out from inside the room, followed by a stern reprimand, "How dare you bring that up? You're a healing-type ability user, why did you run outside for no reason! I was surrounded by zombies, even if you got there, could you have saved me? Don't you ever use your brain? Are you trying to kill me with stupidity?!"
"Hmm"
Lin Yanzhou was caught off guard and got a spanking. He couldn't help but groan, and soon he was scolded again. He was stunned and stared at his beloved for a long time before his eyes gradually became misty with tears.
Chi Zhao, quick to react, immediately scolded him even more fiercely, "Don't cry! You went to your death for nothing and caused so much trouble, and you still dare to cry!"
Lin Yanzhou shrank back slightly when he was scolded, his eyes blurry with tears, but he quickly held them back and dared not cry anymore.
He didn't expect to be scolded before he arrived.
Waaaaah.
They've finally met again, how could the wife scold him!
The little prince was extremely aggrieved, his eyes were red, and a tear quietly rolled down his cheek as he looked down. "You, you mustn't be mean to me."
The system paced anxiously around them, saying, "Yeah, yeah, it's all over now. Why are you yelling at your husband? You'll be the one who feels bad when he cries!"
Hmph, what's there to feel sorry for her about!
She should be angry.
"If I don't yell at you, you won't learn your lesson."
The prince whimpered as his delicate bottom was slapped again, a sound of punishment. He whispered in his defense, "I know they might be lying to me, but I don't dare to gamble. What if something really happens to you? I... I'm scared..."
"Ha, so you're going to throw your life away? How stupid of you, causing me so much trouble for nothing."
The young prince finally remembered the past and came to find his beloved with hesitant words, only to be scolded. He pursed his thin, red lips, his eyes glistening with tears, looking extremely aggrieved.
But Chi Zhao showed no mercy, slapping him again with a fierce look, "Will you dare to act recklessly again without regard for your own safety? Do you know that when I went back to find you, everyone said that you ran out of the base by yourself?"
This was done too cleanly; she didn't find a single clue, otherwise she would have killed the person who plotted against her and Yanzhou long ago.
"I...I didn't know. I'm sorry. I'll never make you angry again."
Chi Zhao:......
"Is this something that's making me angry? It's because you don't use your brain and are easily fooled! I can't be by your side to protect you every moment. If you continue to be this stupid and get tricked into losing your life, humph, don't blame me for marrying you a younger brother, and then bringing him to your grave to pay our respects together."
Lin Yanzhou's pupils suddenly contracted, and this time her reaction was much stronger, her voice even becoming a few degrees shrill, "Ah—no! You're not allowed to find other men, if you, if you dare to find other men, I'll bite him to death even if I become a ghost!"
The little prince was flailing about in her arms, his cheeks puffed out in anger, clearly furious at the thought of her seeing someone else.
Chi Zhao wasn't afraid of this paper tiger. She pinched his buttocks hard with her slender fingers and heard him let out a soft hiss of pain as he hid in her arms.
"If you get fooled to death, I don't want a husband as stupid as you."
The little boy pouted and said in a spoiled tone, "I'm not stupid. I promise I won't do that again. Please don't talk about me anymore."
Chi Zhao rubbed the back of his head, and a feeling of frustration at being unable to take revenge spread through his heart as he thought of the people who had harmed Yan Zhou in the apocalypse.
