Chapter 151 Even if you've had a fight, there's no reason for you to sleep in separate beds.
The Wutong Garden fell completely silent. Dou Wenyi lay on the unfamiliar bed, staring at the ceiling, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
In her dazed state, she vaguely sensed someone coming in.
The next instant, the dark figure darted over.
Pei Siyan lifted the curtain, loosened his sash, took off his clothes, and went straight to the bed, pulling her into his arms without a word. Dou Wenyi opened her eyes and met his bobbing Adam's apple.
"I won't touch you, so don't keep making me angry." His voice was low and hoarse.
A burning hot hand covered her waist. Dou Wenyi bit her lip, not daring to utter a sound, and even her breathing became tense.
Pei Siyan gently stroked her back, his fingertips running through her hair. "A little quarrel is good for the relationship, but a big quarrel is bad for your health. From now on, we can only quarrel a little. Even if we quarrel, there's no reason for us to sleep in separate beds."
They're clearly not married yet!
Sharing a bed is against etiquette, and even after marriage, there is no reason for him to stay in her room every day.
He's a master at twisting the truth, how dare he try to reason with me?
"Your Highness, I don't want to argue with you." Dou Wenyi yawned.
Her voice was soft and gentle, sounding almost like a hint of compromise.
Pei Siyan thought that it seemed like he had been the one being unreasonable from beginning to end tonight, and the anger in his heart dissipated by more than half.
Well, since he was in the wrong first, there's no need to hold a grudge. In the future, I'll teach him a lesson, and of course, I'll also discipline my wife in bed!
Holding her in my arms, the woman's fragrance permeated every nook and cranny, incomparably sweet and alluring.
Pei Siyan remained silent for a long while, then gently stroked her earlobe, his voice hoarse, "May I kiss you?"
The tent was dark and quiet. Her eyes, though brimming with panic, sparkled like stars. She pretended to be deaf and fast asleep...
The next morning.
When Dou Wenyi woke up, she looked down and saw several bright red marks on her collarbone. The further she looked down, the more unbearable it was to look at.
He kept his promise and didn't go all the way, but a night of intense passion ensued...
Self-deception!
Pei Siyan felt a little guilty. "I'll have the Imperial Wardrobe come over to take your measurements later. We'll make several sets, both high-necked and low-necked."
"Your Highness, you are still ill. If people find out, they will misunderstand and think I'm having an affair..."
"Shut up! Don't talk nonsense... Then call the Imperial Wardrobe Bureau another day." Pei Siyan looked embarrassed and covered her lips with his hand, clearly not unaware of her sarcasm.
The two were dressed neatly and had just finished their breakfast when Eunuch Anxi rushed in, "Your Highness, His Majesty is coming this way with the Imperial Preceptor and a wandering doctor."
Pei Siyan and Dou Wenyi exchanged a glance, both understanding the deeper meaning in each other's eyes.
They became suspicious of Pei Siyan's condition!
——
Emperor Muzong and his entourage arrived in front of the sleeping quarters in a grand procession, where rows of palace servants prostrated themselves in worship.
The emperor saw that Eunuch Anxi was also there. "Why are you inside serving?"
"The Crown Princess is inside." Eunuch Anxi's voice trembled slightly.
These words are so enchanting that they inspire endless imagination.
The Emperor and everyone behind him were taken aback. The Crown Princess had only moved into the Eastern Palace yesterday; could she already be so intimate with the Crown Prince...?
The palace doors were suddenly opened.
Dou Wenyi clearly got up hastily, and the bed curtains behind her were completely covered, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.
She lowered her head, looking extremely embarrassed, nervously clutching the hem of her clothes, and respectfully performed a deep bow.
"Your Majesty, your daughter-in-law was at fault. I was serving Your Highness just now... so I dismissed the palace servants and therefore did not greet Your Majesty."
Emperor Muzong felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this, but having no reason to lash out, he could only reply perfunctorily, "Thank you for your hard work."
The Imperial Advisor stroked his beard and smiled, "The Crown Princess is virtuous and kind, and devoted to the Crown Prince. His Majesty has indeed bestowed upon her a good match."
Emperor Muzong recalled the reason for today's visit and said, "Someone, take the Crown Prince's pulse."
The head of the Imperial Medical Academy's eyes flickered slightly, and he was about to step forward when the Grand Preceptor raised his hand to stop him. "Head of the Academy, don't bother. You've been seeing patients for many days. Let this Doctor Sun take a look. His medical skills are quite remarkable."
Dou Wenyi was slightly taken aback. The person who came was Sun Siqi from the south bridge. He had a lot of research on difficult and complicated diseases. In the previous life, the two of them had exchanged ideas many times. His medical skills were indeed far superior to many imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital.
The last time the two of them met was when he was invited to detoxify Dou Mingcheng, the legitimate son of the second wife.
Sun Siqi exchanged a glance with her, quickly lowered his eyes, shook his sleeves, and sat down on the stool next to the bed to take her pulse.
At the same time, a hand reached out from under the curtain.
Sun Siqi placed his hand on the calloused hand and began to carefully take the pulse.
The Imperial Advisor glanced at the tightly drawn curtains and raised his voice, "How have you been serving him? Why haven't you lifted the curtains yet? If you delay the Crown Prince's diagnosis, what will happen?"
Dou Wenyi's heart tightened, and she turned around to stand in front of the bed. "Your Majesty, His Highness is not in a position to see anyone right now."
The Imperial Advisor's pupils contracted, and he smirked, "Crown Princess, what are you saying? His Majesty is here, and you're stopping him from seeing the doctor. What do you mean by that? Is the Crown Prince hiding something from the public?
These words were tantamount to saying outright that the person on the bed was not Pei Siyan at all, and immediately many eyes fell on her.
The Imperial Preceptor was about the same age as Emperor Muzong. He was handsome and tall, and his Taoist robe accentuated his otherworldly demeanor. Even standing in front of the emperor, he was no less imposing. If he were to wear a magnificent jade crown, he would definitely be mistaken for the head of some powerful family.
"Your Majesty, that's not how it is. Your daughter-in-law hadn't finished applying the medicine to Your Highness yet, and Your Highness hadn't changed your clothes... so you were ashamed to be seen by others."
The Imperial Advisor was getting impatient and began to rebuke, "Princess Consort, what are you doing? Do you need to take off all your clothes? Young people are really ignorant, but... no matter what, the Crown Prince is still ill."
Wasn't his statement implying that she and the Crown Prince had been having an affair just now?
If the Crown Prince has the energy to indulge in debauchery, then his illness becomes questionable.
Dou Wenyi twisted her sleeves, her face flushed red, and she spoke in a whisper, "No... I really can't bring myself to say it."
"What is that?" The Grand Preceptor's voice grew increasingly aggressive.
Dou Wenyi's eyes were slightly red, and she looked so aggrieved that she seemed about to cry. She moved her lips, but ultimately didn't say anything.
Emperor Muzong was getting impatient. "Why aren't you speaking yet?"
"I'm applying medicine to my lower back... and my buttocks."
