Priceless: A widow with a baby asks the prince to marry again

"Okay... let me go, my clothes are just wet, my legs are not broken..."

To escape from the dramatic developments, Liu Rusi temporarily put aside her confusion and began to try to get Chu Shiyu to let her go!

But Chu Shiyu not only didn't let go, he even pushed her closer to his arms! He scolded her in a deep voice, "Have you forgotten that you are about to have your period? You knew you couldn't get cold these days, but you actually jumped into the water!"

"Forehead…"

Liu Rusi suddenly understood why Chu Shiyu was in such a hurry to take her away...but she became even more crazy!

"The virtuous concubine is deliberately framing you, the emperor is furious with you, the situation in the north is tense, there are so many serious things going on, and you are still thinking about my menstruation?!"

Chu Shiyu refuted seriously: "Those are only temporary things, but health is a lifelong thing! If you hurt yourself in these few days, you may suffer from unbearable cramps in the future and have to suffer every month!"

Liu Rusi was helpless; the absurd plot of 'fear of the bumpy carriage' was repeated!

I have already realized that Chu Shiyu is soft-hearted but not hard-hearted...

Liu Rusi softened her tone and said, "It's not that exaggerated. Didn't I swim in the flood before? I'm fine. I have a good body. Even if I really caught a cold, I will be back to normal after a few days of recuperation."

"Why should you suffer and recuperate later if you can take good care of yourself now?"

Chu Shiyu was even more concerned! Since he learned about her menstrual period on the boat, he had always kept it in mind, thinking that he should take better care of her on special days... But things went against his wishes, and he repeatedly made her suffer from fatigue and cold...

Although he seemed to be blaming her, he was actually blaming himself and had some... self-doubt...

In the chaotic fate, there is actually another possibility.

If he parted ways with Liu Rusi after he recovered from his injury, and stopped bothering her in Dongshan Village, she should be able to live well. After all, she didn't think farming was hardship, but she hated being bound by others and losing her freedom...

Forcing her to leave her quiet life in the mountain village and dragging her into the current vortex of power struggle...is it really good for her?

Liu Rusi didn’t know what he was thinking, she just felt that he was seriously ill!

"Don't you think you've put the cart before the horse? Health is based on being alive. You know better than me that angering the emperor can lead to death!"

Chu Shiyu paused, then said confidently: "I know him, nothing will happen anyway."

Liu Rusi still questioned: "You may be fine, but what about me? Your undisguised concern is like roasting me on the fire! Do you think the emperor will be happy to see it? Or will he regard me as a thorn in his side?"

Chu Shiyu knew her cautious character, and said sincerely: "I will protect you, trust me, okay?"

Speechless for a moment...

Liu Rusi looked towards the unfamiliar palace courtyard and asked, "Where is this?"

Another shrill voice answered, "This is where the servants of our Jingshifang live."

The person who spoke was a eunuch with a slicked-back hair and powdered face. He looked young, but had a mature demeanor. When he saw who was coming, he was immediately surprised!

"Your Highness the Third Prince! Why are you here..."

The eunuch was stunned for a moment, then he noticed the condition of Prince Duan and hurriedly made a move to welcome him in, saying earnestly: "Hey, Your Highness, why are you all wet? Come in and change into clean clothes!"

"Help her find some clothes first, quickly." Chu Shiyu was not polite and carried Liu Rusi into the courtyard.

This is a very simple house. From the entrance, you can see clothes drying in the yard, and it is clear that more than one person lives there.

But this was already an excellent residence for the eunuchs in the palace. Ordinary eunuchs and palace maids who were not with their masters all lived in low row houses and slept on large bunk beds in dim light. Tall people could not straighten their backs whether standing or lying down.

The eunuchs in this courtyard did not have masters to serve, but they had decent residences and their own rooms.

After being carried into the house by Chu Shiyu, Liu Rusi asked again: "Can you put me down now?"

Chu Shiyu tightened his arms somewhat reluctantly, and finally let her feet touch the ground.

Not wanting to complain about the details, Liu Rusi took a quick look around the simple and tidy room and asked, "Who was that just now... Xiao Jizi?"

Although he knew that she was meticulous, he was still surprised by her sharpness. Chu Shiyu nodded and said, "Outside the palace, eunuchs cannot be kept without the emperor's permission. When a prince leaves the palace and sets up his own residence, the servants around him are usually under the command of his mother. However, I don't get along with Concubine Xian, so I'm afraid he won't live long if he stays in Jingren Palace."

Liu Rusi frowned and asked, "Didn't you say that Xiao Jizi is the emperor's man?"

Ruifeng's eyes drooped slightly, and Chu Shiyu said softly: "When the bird is dead, the bow is put away. Xiao Jizi's use is to guard me. Although a eunuch is not in the position of being abandoned, but if he is no longer useful, no one will care whether he lives or dies."

Liu Rusi was stunned for a moment. She still could not accept the value of treating people like grass. However, in the hall of power, it was easier to see the gap in status between people, like the difference between heaven and earth... Indeed, the emperor, who was busy with all kinds of affairs, had no time to care about the fate of a small eunuch.

After sighing, Xingmu explored the hidden emotions in Ruifeng's eyes.

Human beings are complex creatures. The more different and even contradictory sides you discover in a person, the more you can feel that he really exists.

It was like a painting of a horse galloping across a field, but suddenly a black horse jumped out, and with its powerful hoof, it gently pushed a fragile egg into the grass by the roadside to prevent it from being trampled to pieces...

You will sigh in your heart, ah, it turns out that he is more than just an ink painting, he is so vivid...

"Your Highness the Third Prince?" a shrill voice called out from outside.

"Here." Chu Shiyu replied.

Xiao Jizi came in with neatly folded clothes and presented them respectfully.

"I have found some clothes for you and your wife. They are all new and made of good materials... But I don't know your and your wife's sizes, so they may not fit you well..."

"It's okay, put it here." Chu Shiyu raised his head slightly and gestured to put it on the table.

Xiao Jizi put down his clothes and looked at Chu Shiyu evasively, as if he wanted to say something...

"Go away." Chu Shiyu dismissed him coldly.

Xiao Jizi hesitated for a moment, then said respectfully, "Yes, I will wait outside. If Your Highness has any instructions, just call me."

Xiao Jizi backed out and closed the door gently.

Liu Rusi pulled out the women's clothes that were placed under the men's clothes, and complained that there must be some rules for stacking these clothes, just like a quilt, meaning that the ones on top will suppress the ones below for the rest of their lives.

Chu Shiyu took the men's clothes, turned around and changed clothes with his back to Liu Rusi. Although they had already had very intimate contact, it was still one-sided...

He could be more indulgent about the boundaries that had already been broken, but if he wanted to go further, he still wanted to wait until she was willing.

He didn't see that Liu Rusi rolled her eyes at him from behind!

This person acts recklessly in everything, but he has to use the word restraint when it comes to this matter!

I wanted to try just sex without a marriage, would that be...

Well, let's take it one step at a time...
