Cui Yuetuan felt that after she became pregnant and gave birth to the emperor's grandson, she would definitely try to find other men.
In this way, she could be certain that it wasn't because of that good-for-nothing Crown Prince.
-
Xie Xuan did not leave while Yun Chuwei was taking a bath.
He was massaging Yun Chuwei's shoulders.
As he placed his fingers on the girl's slender shoulders, he couldn't help but recall the absurd scenes from the previous night.
He dared not use force, for fear of pinching out the same bruises as last night.
He spoke softly, "Weiwei, when shall we get married?"
Yun Chuwei, who was resting with her eyes closed, opened them upon hearing this.
She glanced at Xie Xuan and said, "We can get married anytime!"
Xie Xuan was overjoyed.
He sat on the edge of the bathtub, put his arm around Yun Chuwei's chest, and hugged her from behind, asking incredulously, "Really? Weiwei, is what you're saying true?"
"Yes!" Yun Chuwei nodded seriously, "Really! It's just..."
Xie Xuan's expression froze at the word. He pursed his lips, waiting for Yun Chuwei to continue.
Yun Chuwei said in a low voice, "My marriage requires my master's approval. My birth chart can only be handwritten by my master. The matching of birth charts also needs to be done by my master. Could you go to Xianshan, see my master, tell him about this, and retrieve the birth chart?"
Xie Xuan frowned; he felt this matter was very strange.
Logically, Yun Chuwei should have accompanied him to see her master.
But she told him to go back to see her master alone.
He felt that this was very inappropriate.
It didn't seem like she wanted him to go get the betrothal gifts; it seemed more like she was trying to get him out of the way.
Seeing that Xie Xuan didn't reply, Yun Chuwei turned around, looked at Xie Xuan, and asked, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Xie Xuan looked at Yun Chuwei and whispered, "Weiwei, are you not going to take responsibility for me? Are you going to abandon me after using me?"
Yun Chuwei: ...
When did she decide to start a relationship with him and then abandon him?
"What nonsense are you thinking? Didn't I tell you? Go get the betrothal letter, and we'll get married when you come back!" Yun Chuwei said.
Seeing how serious she was, Xie Xuan couldn't bear to doubt her.
But he still said, "Swear it!"
Yun Chuwei readily agreed, immediately raising her finger and saying, "I, Yun Chuwei, swear by my Dao heart that once Xie Xuan returns from my master's place, I will immediately marry him. If I break this oath..."
Upon hearing this, Xie Xuan couldn't bear to let her finish speaking.
He leaned down and kissed her lips.
Then, he slid into the bathtub and held Yun Chuwei tightly in his arms.
Yun Chuwei felt the warm steam in the bath making her limbs feel weak, and she instinctively hooked her arms around Xie Xuan's neck.
Ripples spread across the pool water.
-
Finally, Xie Xuan carried Yun Chuwei and brought her back to her room.
Yun Chuwei clung to Xie Xuan with her hands and feet, resting her chin on his shoulder, her eyes closed weakly.
She mumbled, "Xie Xuan, you're crazy!"
When this person goes crazy, he really doesn't care about anything!
Xie Xuan turned his head, kissed the cheek resting on his shoulder, and hugged the person in his arms even tighter. His voice was hoarse: "I'm sorry! Weiwei, I was wrong!"
It was his inability to control his delusions.
Xie Xuan lay down with Yun Chuwei in his arms, and only when he could feel the even, soft breathing of the person in his arms did he press her head down and whisper, "Weiwei, I missed you so much!"
-
About half an hour later, there was a knock on the door.
Xie Xuan was afraid that the visitor would wake Yun Chuwei, and was about to tell the person outside to leave.
However, before he could utter a single word, his mouth was covered.
Yun Chu rolled her eyes at Xie Xuan and said in a low voice, "You better behave yourself."
After saying that, she pulled the blanket over Xie Xuan from head to toe, leaving only her head sticking out.
Just then, the door was pushed open, and Guiyan stood in the doorway, saying, "Young Miss, it's time to get up!"
Yun Chuwei said, "I went out last night and didn't go to sleep until dawn. Let me sleep a little longer!"
Upon hearing this, Guiyan immediately agreed and closed the door.
Yun Chuwei then kicked Xie Xuan.
"Get out of here!"
Xie Xuan threw back the covers, reached out and wrapped his arms around her, and whispered, "Weiwei, how cruel you are to try to get rid of me!"
Yun Chuwei showed no mercy: "If you stay here any longer, I'll have Guiyan throw you out!"
Xie Xuan pulled her into his arms and whispered, "Sleep a little longer. I'll leave once you're asleep. I promise!"
Yun Chuwei closed her eyes and mumbled, "Come pick me up this afternoon, and I'll take you to the palace to see His Majesty."
"Why?" Xie Xuan asked, puzzled.
"Are you stupid?" Yun Chuwei said. "When you go to Xian Mountain to see my master, don't you need to tell His Majesty?"
Xie Xuan was surprised.
He had thought Yun Chuwei wanted him to secretly meet her master. He never expected that she wanted him to meet her master legitimately.
"I understand. Go to sleep."
-
Yun Chuwei woke up around noon.
When she woke up, Xie Xuan was no longer by her side.
After bathing and having a meal, Yun Chuwei went to see the old lady and He Ning, and told them about Xie Xuan going to Xianshan to retrieve the betrothal letter.
Neither of them knew that Yun Chuwei's real intention was to get Xie Xuan away, and they both agreed.
Soon, Xie Xuan came to pick up Yun Chuwei, and the two entered the palace together.
Emperor Tianqi was surprised that Yun Chuwei would come to see him.
Seeing Yun Chuwei bow, he said, "No need for formalities. What brings you to see me?"
Yun Chuwei straightened up and said, "Your Majesty, I wish to have Prince Xuan go to see my master."
Emperor Tianqi was somewhat surprised and asked, "Why?"
Yun Chuwei said earnestly, "Didn't His Majesty bestow a marriage upon me and Prince Xuan? Once he returns with the betrothal letter, I can marry him."
Emperor Tianqi pondered for a moment, seemingly understanding Yun Chuwei's intention.
He said, "Since you want him to go, then let him go! Let him come to see me; I have something for him to take to your master!"
Yun Chuwei nodded: "Yes!"
After Yun Chuwei finished speaking, she turned and walked out.
When Yun Chuwei saw Xie Xuan outside the door, she said, "Go ahead, His Majesty wants to see you!"
Xie Xuan nodded and then walked into the Imperial Study.
Yun Chuwei watched him enter the Imperial Study, and then waited for him to come out from outside the door.
About fifteen minutes later, Xie Xuan came out of the imperial study.
He looked up at Yun Chuwei waiting at the door, and his heart stirred slightly.
Never before had he understood more deeply how much his father valued Yun Chuwei.
During the days he was confined to his quarters, all the ministers who were on good terms with him went to the emperor to plead for his life.
However, the emperor ignored everyone and showed no intention of letting him go.
Even though he left the palace, his father turned a blind eye.
But his father had never summoned him.
This time, Yun Chuwei took him directly to the palace. He thought his father would be angry and refuse to see him, but everything was beyond his expectations.
