Chapter 239 I'll only marry her, what's the point of fighting?
Dou Wenyi remembered that her marriage to Pei Siyan was originally a transaction.
She also asked him for a divorce agreement, just in case.
She looked up at him. "But, Your Highness, that was a promise you made to me."
Disappointment flashed across Pei Siyan's eyes. He had gone to great lengths to get the emperor to grant them a marriage. She was willing to risk her life for him, but not willing to grow old with him?
The two of them have been through thick and thin together, how could he not be worthy of her trust?
The thought that she had never given up the idea of a divorce made him feel irritable, but he also knew that he couldn't be impatient.
He didn't do a good enough job!
Never mind, I'll train him slowly later.
Pei Siyan didn't want to hear her say that. His expression was heavy. "I'm really angry about what happened this time. I don't want it to happen again, understand?"
Dou Wenyi's thick eyelashes trembled, and she nodded vigorously, extremely solemnly, "I understand."
Pei Siyan slowly bent down and picked her up in his arms. She instinctively tried to struggle, but worried about aggravating his wound. "Pei Siyan, don't do anything rash..."
He hadn't been close to her for over four months, and now that she was in his arms, it felt like a fire was burning in his heart, constantly rising within him.
He carried her into the bedchamber, pressed her down on the bed, and whispered in her ear, "Yi'er, you once said you admired me, and you also said you were willing to stay with me until we grow old. No matter what, I took those words seriously, and you have to take responsibility for me."
The incense inside the hall was so fragrant that you could hear a pin drop.
Dou Wenyi's expression was complicated as she said earnestly, "Pei Siyan, I am a petty person. I cannot share a husband with others, and I am even more tired of fighting with others. I admit that I have always regarded you as my sovereign, not as the husband of an ordinary woman; in the future, when you ascend the throne, you will be the ruler of all people, and you will inevitably have three palaces and six courtyards..."
She never denied that she had fallen for him, but if he betrayed her like Xie Guidu had, she would disappear without a trace, so that he would never be able to find her again!
Her demands for emotions were too pure and too obsessive; such delusions were out of step with the world.
If Pei Siyan cannot give her everything, she would rather not have it.
Throughout history, only a few emperors have loved one person their entire lives, and she never fantasized that he would be that exception.
Pei Siyan's eyes were intense, his expression serious. "What 'three palaces and six courtyards'? I will only marry you. What are you trying to fight for?"
Dou Wenyi's heart was instantly filled with sweetness and happiness, but she quickly regained her senses.
This sounds so unreal, like a bubble, beautiful yet fragile, like a mirage.
But she was still willing to believe what he said for the time being.
Seeing that her expression was off, Pei Siyan pinched her face and simply kissed her full lips. From a light kiss to a passionate kiss, soft sounds filled the tent.
His burning kisses, both restrained and wild, moved inch by inch backward, landing on her earlobes and neck, causing her sensitive back to tremble.
At the same time, his warm fingertips caressed her slender waist, while his other hand skillfully unbuttoned her collar, revealing intertwined shadows reflected in the fine red gauze curtains...
Dou Wenyi couldn't sleep soundly at all. One moment she was worried about aggravating his wound, and the next she felt as if she were floating on clouds, experiencing bizarre and fantastical phenomena.
In a daze, she was like a small boat, battered and ravaged by a raging storm, leaving her in pieces.
The next morning.
Dou Wenyi opened her sleepy eyes and glanced to the side, where she saw the man's strong and powerful body, the several glaring scratches on his chest, and the fine teeth marks on his shoulder.
Dou Wenyi's cheeks burned, and her head was buzzing. Those marks were all her own handiwork!
She took another sniff, feeling refreshed and carrying the pleasant scent of soapberry.
Last night, she felt so sore all over that she fell asleep immediately afterwards...
"woke up?"
Pei Siyan's mellow voice rang in my ears.
"I have a lot to do today, so don't wait for me for dinner."
As he spoke, the man gently withdrew his arm, kissed her forehead again, then got up from the bed, quickly put on his robes, and left the bedroom.
When I woke up again, the sun was already high in the sky.
Even after Dou Wenyi was dressed and sitting at the dining table, she still couldn't process why she had so inexplicably gone crazy with him last night...
With such a severe and wild back injury, did he really not aggravate the wound?
And could it be... that he helped him wash his body?
It's a long story!
After much thought, she had to admit that she must have been bewitched by him!
Just after lunch, Steward Chen from Jingkun Palace came to the East Palace.
"...Your Highness, Consort Shu, would like to invite the Crown Princess over for a chat." Steward Chen's attitude was extremely respectful.
Dou Wenyi glanced at her and smiled, "Did you say what the matter is?"
Manager Chen's eyes flickered slightly. "I heard that the Grand Tutor and several highly respected court officials surrounded His Highness today to discuss the matter of Consort Sheng. I'm not quite sure what the specifics of their discussion were."
Having made up her mind, Dou Wenyi changed into a brightly colored dress and went with her to Jingkun Palace.
Consort Zhang now rules the entire harem, and the genuine feelings she had for Emperor Muzong were completely exhausted because of that period of confinement.
Therefore, even though the emperor was imprisoned in the Funing Palace, she did not feel anything was wrong, but rather hoped that Pei Siyan could ascend the throne as soon as possible.
Dou Wenyi still noticed the weariness hidden between her brows. "Your Majesty, have you not rested well these past few days? Why don't you have the imperial physician check your pulse?"
Consort Zhang waved her hand, "I don't sleep well at night, it's an old problem, no need to bother. Do you know why I called you here?"
Dou Wenyi, of course, knew perfectly well, so she frankly asked, "Is Your Highness worried about His Highness?"
Consort Zhang sighed with a solemn expression, “His Majesty has a blood feud with Si Yan for killing his mother, and it is only right that a life should be paid for a life. But His Majesty is, after all, the Crown Prince’s father. Now that he has lost feeling in his legs, he is practically a cripple. I do not mean to persuade the Crown Prince to forgive anyone, but given the current situation, I am really worried that he will be blinded by hatred.”
"Your Majesty can die peacefully in your old age as the Retired Emperor, or you can die from illness, but the Crown Prince must not be burdened with the crime of patricide. No amount of persuasion will change this matter. I hope you will have a serious talk with him."
Dou Wenyi nodded to indicate that she understood, "I will try my best to comfort Your Highness."
Consort Zhang continued, "Now that everything is in ruins, the Crown Prince needs to straighten out the court and win over the hearts of the people as soon as possible, especially those meritorious families. In addition, the Zongren Mansion has conducted a detailed investigation into the matter of Sheng Xiyue, and there is really no evidence to prove that she is related to the plot to harm you."
"Today, the Grand Tutor and several court officials argued with the Crown Prince about this for several hours. Back then, when the Crown Prince went to suppress the rebels, the Sheng family also actively prepared rice and grain."
"If we break off the engagement now and investigate the Sheng family, people will say that the Crown Prince is ruthless, cruel, and heartless. For the sake of the bigger picture, could you spare Sheng Xiyue this time for my sake?"
