Chapter 48 Doing this kind of thing can strengthen feelings
One hour later.
Qin Ye was dressed neatly and looked energetic as he prepared to go out.
Yun Si, however, lay on the bed, her body aching all over, looking at him with resentment.
"You can sleep a little longer."
Qin Ye met Yun Si's accusing gaze. Feeling satisfied and relaxed after eating his fill, he said, "Don't look at me like that, or I won't mind doing it again."
"..."
abnormal.
Yun Si turned her head away in fright.
Before falling asleep, she naively thought that Qin Ye was the kind of person who was aloof and reserved, and had always been indifferent to matters of the bedroom, which was why he had never done anything improper to her in the more than one year since they got married.
Now she truly understands that his cold and aloof demeanor was all an illusion.
This is the real him.
He is inherently domineering, assertive, and possessive.
She's petty, sensitive, and fragile; your trust in her can't withstand the slightest test.
In bed, he is even more domineering.
She had no chance to fight back and was no match for him at all.
However, compared to the first time, this time it was obviously much more harmonious.
At least, it didn't hurt that much; in fact, it even...
Yun Si pulled the blanket over her head.
“Yun Si”.
Qin Ye forcefully pulled the blanket off, his expression turning serious: "I will carefully consider what you have to say, but you must also remember that you have no right to go back on what you promised me."
See?
That stubborn streak is back again.
Yun Si pulled the blanket up, nodded at him, and said firmly, "I will never regret it."
Qin Ye then smiled with satisfaction.
He leaned in and kissed her on the cheek, then turned and opened the door to leave.
"Go prepare hot water; the princess needs it when she gets up."
Outside the door, Yun Si heard him instructing Lan Xin and the others.
I'm too ashamed to face anyone.
It was quite some time after Qin Ye left before Yun Si finally got out of bed.
Lanxin and the others had already prepared hot water, but Yunsi chased them all out.
His body was covered in marks.
Even with her thick skin, she was too embarrassed to let others see it.
After taking a shower and putting on clean clothes, the soreness in my body lessened slightly.
“Master.”
Lansing came in with a smile: "Master, you've worked hard. Would you like something to eat to replenish your energy?"
Yun Si glared at her.
"Anything is fine."
"Alright, I'll go prepare right away."
After Lansing left, Awu came in from outside.
He looked sullen.
"What's wrong, A-Wu?"
"He bullied you again?"
"…No."
Yun Si rubbed her temples, unsure how to explain it to her.
But if I don't explain and let her continue to misunderstand like this, who knows what shocking thing she might do one day.
“A-Wu”.
Yun Si pulled her over to sit down, brushed the stray hairs from the corner of her eye, and said gently, "Our A-Wu is still young and doesn't understand many things yet, but it's okay. In a couple of years, when you're older and meet a boy who likes you and you like him too, you'll naturally understand that... it's not bullying."
Actually, how can it not be counted?
She begged for mercy like that, but he just wouldn't stop, using a combination of coaxing and deception to end it time and time again.
"Not considered bullying?"
A look of confusion flashed in Awu's eyes: "But I heard my sister say no, and he disregarded her wishes and just bullied her."
"Cough cough."
Yun Si's face turned bright red.
This topic is impossible to discuss.
“A-Wu”.
Yun Si said to her with a serious expression, "It's not good for a child to eavesdrop. Be good. From now on, when His Highness comes back, you are not allowed to stay near your sister's room. Go back to your own room."
"Why?"
A-Wu was puzzled: "I don't want others to bully you, but..."
She was conflicted and felt guilty: "I can't beat him. If I act rashly, I'm afraid he'll kick me out. I don't want to leave my sister."
This is the second time Awu has said that she can't beat Qin Ye.
Yun Si was somewhat surprised.
Ah Wu currently gives her the impression of being unfathomable.
She couldn't even beat Qin Ye?
Qin Ye is hiding his true abilities far too well.
Even someone as powerful as him was repeatedly injured in his past life, which shows just how dangerous the crises he faced back then were.
“Awu, Your Highness is my sister’s husband. Doing such things between husband and wife can strengthen their relationship. You will understand in the future.”
"Um."
Ah Wu seemed to understand but not quite, and nodded in compromise: "Then I'll go further away from now on."
Yun Si: "...Hmm."
After finishing her breakfast, Yun Si forced herself to cheer up.
She was just about to ask A-Wu to make another trip to the Su residence to check on the situation.
But then darkness fell.
Yun Si knew that he was Qin Ye's shadow guard captain, whom she had only met after her death in her previous life.
But this was the first time we actually met in person.
An Ye first introduced himself, then bowed respectfully: "Your subordinate An Ye greets Your Highness."
"No need for such formalities."
Yun Si cooperated, pretending that she had just learned of his existence.
"Are you the Shadow Guard Chief by His Highness's side?"
Shadow Guards and Dark Guards are two different guard units.
The secret guards are mainly responsible for the security of the mansion, while the shadow guards are often sent out to other places. They are better at light footwork and are more discreet in their stealth.
However, both guards were under the command of the Night.
There was also a deputy shadow guard captain who was away most of the year and rarely returned; Yun Si had never seen him.
"Yes, Your Highness, it is indeed your subordinate."
An Ye was extremely respectful, keeping his head down and not daring to look around carelessly: "Your Highness has ordered me to report the situation of the Su family to the Princess Consort. Please rest assured, Princess Consort."
Yun Si's heart stirred slightly.
This man is a man of action.
He's always like that; he keeps her things in mind and takes care of them immediately.
"Mrs. Su and Miss Biao are both safe."
An Ye said in a deep voice, "I have already sent men to protect us secretly for twelve hours. We will not allow the Jinwu Guards to get any closer. They can only keep watch outside."
"I see."
Yun Si nodded and said politely, "You've all worked hard. Once this matter is over, Lord Su will not let you brothers suffer in vain."
"Your Highness, please don't say that."
Hearing this, An Ye broke out in a cold sweat.
"This is our duty, our responsibility, so there's no question of it being hard work."
After saying this, he bowed and took his leave.
After An Ye's visit, Yun Si was completely relieved.
Next, she can focus on figuring out a way to get her third uncle out of Dali Temple as soon as possible.
This matter needs to be addressed by starting with Ti Lung.
Dillon forcibly kept those letters in his own hands, refusing to let the Dali Temple people examine them. The Dali Temple feared his power, and even though they wanted to help their colleagues, they dared not confront him.
Moreover, they knew very well that Dillon was so fearless not only because of his high position and power, but also because he had the tacit approval of the person behind him.
The person behind the scenes was clearly turning a blind eye, watching from the sidelines as the power struggle in the court unfolded, silently observing who would ultimately prevail.
“Master.”
No sooner had An Ye left than Lu Yu came in to report: "Mr. Qu has arrived."
"Quickly invite him to the front hall to talk."
Yun Si had been waiting for Mr. Qu. She originally planned to wait for him to return to the manor so she could go and see him herself, but since he came in person, she couldn't keep him waiting any longer.
"Lu Yu, bring Mr. Qu a pot of good tea."
"Understood, Master."
Everyone in the Xiao Prince's mansion knows that Mr. Qu is not a servant or a subordinate; he is a strategist, a retainer, and even more so, His Highness's sworn brother, one of His Highness's most trusted people.
Everyone has great respect for Mr. Qu.
Moreover, Mr. Qu is very busy and rarely returns home.
Yun Si only found out later that it was Granny Qian who specially sent someone to call Mr. Qu back; otherwise, Yun Si might not have been able to see him for three to five days.
Lu Yu brewed tea for Mr. Qu, who sat down in the chair, his eyes constantly glancing outside.
You could tell he was very anxious.
But when Yun Si arrived, he immediately calmed down.
"princess."
He stood up and bowed to Yun Si with his hands clasped.
Yun Si quickly said, "Mr. Qu, there's no need for such formalities. Please have a seat."
Mr. Qu had also seen Yun Si's "face" before. Although he had recently heard from people in the mansion that the princess had completely changed and was no longer the princess who always had a cold face and disliked everyone.
But he didn't see it with his own eyes and still harbored a sliver of doubt.
That's right.
Knowing that Mr. Qu was busy, Yun Si stopped beating around the bush and asked directly, "I know that our Prince's Mansion has a tabloid business, so Mr. Qu, I would like to ask if there is any information about Di Long's deeds?"
"General Di Longdi, who is in charge of the Imperial Guard?"
Mr. Qu was somewhat surprised, but after a moment's thought, he understood: "Does the Princess want to find out Di Long's weakness so that she can rescue Master Su as soon as possible?"
“Sir, you are indeed sir. I don’t need to say more; you understand my intention.”
Yun Si was generous with her praise.
Mr. Qu smiled, his gentle face revealing a hint of shyness.
I was a little embarrassed to be praised by the princess for the first time.
"Let me think about it."
Mr. Qu frowned and thought about it carefully.
Even if a high-ranking official like Dillon was involved in something, the tabloids couldn't just publish it arbitrarily.
This industry, in particular, is not discreet enough, making it easy to expose the Xiao Prince's Mansion.
"There is indeed something about Dillon."
Mr. Qu pondered for a moment before slowly speaking: "Does Your Highness know that General Di Long's current status is entirely due to his wife, who comes from a military family?"
Yun Si leaned forward slightly: "Please explain in detail, Mr. Qu."
"It's an old story."
Mr. Qu gently stroked his teacup and began to recount: "When Di Lung was young, he was just a poor military family's son. Because of his handsome appearance, he was chosen by the daughter of the then military commander. That girl was domineering and forced her father to promote him."
Yun Si seemed to be deep in thought.
She had heard some rumors as well.
It is said that Ti Lung, as a great general, was brave and mighty, but he was henpecked.
As a result, Dillon was often ridiculed by his colleagues.
"Even now, does he still fear his wife?"
"Exactly."
Mr. Qu's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "But what's even more interesting is that this General Di had a mistress in Wutong Lane in the south of the city, and they had two sons together."
"What?"
Upon hearing that he was afraid of his wife, Yun Si originally thought that he had some sincerity towards her.
Unexpectedly, he secretly kept a mistress!
Yun Si paused in her teacup, a fierce glint in her eyes.
He climbed to a high position by relying on his wife, and after achieving fame and success, he discarded her like a worn-out shoe. He's a real scoundrel.
Mr. Qu was startled when he suddenly saw the fierce glint in Yun Si's eyes. His hand trembled, and he almost dropped the teacup.
Didn't they say the princess had completely changed?
Why does it feel scarier than before?
Seeing that Mr. Qu's expression changed slightly, Yun Si realized that she had inadvertently revealed her true colors. She quickly adjusted herself and resumed her gentle appearance.
"Excuse me, Mr. Qu, please continue."
