Neither the Imperial Consort nor I had expected such a punishment. Furthermore, the decree was clearly given to me. This was even more surprising to the Imperial Consort, who was in charge here. However, before we could react, Jing Yi strode away. Even Consort Xi, who was on the ground, turned around in a daze.
To be honest, I didn't understand his intentions either. He wanted to investigate the root cause or spare Xi Pin's life. Either way, it didn't seem to make sense in this situation. Continuing to investigate would only be humiliating. The person involved wasn't a descendant of an important official. Whether it was a joint murder or two unrelated matters, Jing Yi's actions would only cause trouble.
I didn't delay for too long. I turned to look at the Imperial Consort."Since the emperor has ordered it, then do it. Lock Xi Pin up and watch her closely. Don't let her see anyone and also prevent her from finding fault.”
As I spoke, I pointed at the letters.”
The Imperial Consort saw that she had nothing to sing about, so she nodded reluctantly. I pretended not to see her. I lowered my head and frowned as I glanced at Xi Pin. I didn't say anything else and left with a heavy heart.
I heard from Shui Mo that Jing Yi had returned to the Ganyang Palace. I wanted to go find him, but after some hesitation, I decided to return to the Kunyi Palace. No matter what happened between us, I had to play my role in the palace.
Unexpectedly, Jing Yi didn't appear for the whole day, nor did she send any message or decree. I flipped through the letters sent by the Imperial Concubine. The handwriting was not suspicious, and the ink and paper were written first and last. It didn't look like it was forged at the last minute, so I couldn't see anything from it. The words between the lines were affectionate, but the target wasn't Jing Yi. Instead, it made me inexplicably resentful, just like how I was with Rong Chengxiao, who was half-hearted. He hoped that these women who did not know happiness would die a horrible death.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, I thought that he would not come. I was really tired after not sleeping for a whole day, so I instructed someone to prepare a bath. The servants were sent out to carefully mix and dissolve the medicinal powders that Shen Lin and Gu Mianmian had given me. I took off my clothes and submerged my body in the hot water that was filled with the fragrance of medicine. At first, it was not comfortable. The mixed medicine made the effect seem a little overbearing and irresistible. I took a deep breath and slowly let down my defense. When the meridians in my body relaxed and accepted the external medicine, He gradually began to feel drowsy.
Even though I knew that the Kun Yi Palace was my own place and had repeatedly instructed Shui Mo to guard outside, my many years of habit still made me a little wary. When I realized that someone was silently approaching, I was shocked. My left hand subconsciously shrank back. Only then did I remember that the dark night wasn't beside me. I was annoyed that I didn't hear the movement of the door and window, so I hurriedly grabbed my clothes.
Because of his injury, his right hand was placed outside the bathtub. His clothes were just a few feet away from his hand. Unexpectedly, before he could reach it, his hand was grabbed by someone.
I tensed up and looked up to see Jing Yi's face. She looked at me with a helpless expression and was suddenly frightened.
Only then did she feel relieved. She then mocked herself slightly. Yes, who else could it be?
Even if it was him, I still felt a little awkward meeting him without any clothes. My right hand was grabbed by him, and I didn't dare to get up without my clothes. I curled up in the water and complained,"Do you have to scare me so silently?”
"What else? Waiting for you to come out and pick me up wet?”He raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly." You didn't notice at all, did you?”
"I thought you wouldn't come."”
There were many eyes and mouths in the empress's bedroom, and a circle of guards outside. Who else could break in except Jing Yi? Even when I sneaked in and out, I needed Shui Mo to help me send people away. After living here for a few months, I realized that there was no point in guarding against sneak attacks.
Jing Yi wasn't satisfied with my answer. He looked down at me and suddenly put his hand into the bathtub, giving me a fright.
However, I was being petty. After a while, I saw him frown and tilt his head."Why did you use such strong medicine?"
I let out a sigh of relief and smiled." It's okay. I used to use it this way. It can help me recover faster."”
" Nonsense," he chided softly." You never listened to Shen Lin when he gave you the medicine, did you?" In the past, if you didn't have the conditions to do it in order, who in the palace could hinder you?”
" Oh," I replied noncommittally. I looked at the clothes on the side and looked up at him." Your Majesty, can you…first…"
Jing Yi walked in for a while before I called out " Your Majesty ". We were both a little uncomfortable after I said it. He glanced at me and stretched out a towel to wipe his body."Empress, you can get up after you're done bathing."
I immediately frowned. I knew that it was impossible for him not to understand what I meant. He deliberately came to make me feel awkward. I was in a deadlock for a moment. Seeing that he didn't compromise at all, I could only stand up slowly. I didn't care about the wetness all over my body and the cloth in his hand. I quickly grabbed the clothes at the side and wrapped them around my body.
After coming out of the hot water, it was still a little cold. I stood barefoot on the ground, and my thin clothes were quickly soaked. Water dripped onto the ground. My shoes were on the other side, but Jing Yi blocked in front of me and didn't have any intention of moving away. I had an idea, so I deliberately moved closer to him. I thought it would be worth it to destroy one of his clothes.
Unfortunately, I regretted it the moment I made my move. How could I compare to those concubines when I played such a small trick? How could I escape his eyes? Sure enough, he didn't dodge and grabbed me horizontally. I grabbed my collar and didn't dare to struggle. He lowered his head and looked at me."Is the Empress shy?"
She was stunned for a moment before she smiled. She was in Jing Yi's arms, so she didn't have time to be shy. Gritting her teeth, she put her arms around his neck and smiled."Is there?"
As his collar slid down, more than half of his body was exposed. Jing Yi paused for a moment, took a breath, and didn't say anything else. He turned into the bedroom and placed me on the bed. He tore off my wet clothes that were no longer enough to cover my body and grabbed a thin blanket to wrap me up. He saw that he wasn't any better. Large pools of water were on his chest and sleeves. Different paths led to the same destination, but I still got what I wanted, so I smiled proudly.
He pretended to glare at me angrily, sighed, and took off his clothes. He sat beside me."Are you satisfied?"
I shrank into his arms and hugged his waist.”
He looked down at the wound on my right arm and touched it gently without making a sound.
Seeing this, I turned my hand to an angle so that the wound could not be seen, but he stubbornly turned it back. His voice sounded a rare caution."Were you-injured often?"
" How could it be?" I said casually." You have to do a body check when you enter the palace. How can you be covered in scars?"”
As if afraid that he wouldn't believe me, I added,"Moreover, there are not many people who can hurt me.”
I wanted to calm him down, but my words didn't work. His tone was very calm."Unfortunately, I always hurt you when I'm by your side.”
I was stunned for a moment. I looked up at him and chuckled."Yes, it proves that it's more dangerous around you. I have to protect you closely!”
His eyes met mine, but he didn't say anything. There was a deep meaning in his deep eyes that I didn't understand. I blinked and panicked."Jing Yi, you know that nothing can hurt me. So no matter what you're thinking, don't push me away again. I'll really die in front of you.”
She felt a little childish when she said that, so she smiled and said,"You've probably heard this countless times…"
" Mm." He pressed me down on the bed and said with a smile," I got it. You've learned how to cry, make a fuss, and hang yourself."”
"No way…" I was about to retort, but his lips were already sealed. After a long kiss, I heard his warm breath in my ear again."Alright, I got it."
My mood instantly improved. I smiled and kissed him back, wantonly absorbing the fiery tenderness in the depths of each other's bodies.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
