Quick Wear: The villain is a heartthrob, and the boss can't stand it
Chapter 34: The Cannon Fodder Lady: They All Want Her (34)
She had already finished reading three of the tasks that the [System] had urged her to do, and there was only less than a month left before she was hit by a rolling rock and fell off the cliff.
During this period of time, Xie Shengzhi always woke up from his dreams in a cold sweat. He ran to rescue Sui Yu and hugged her tightly in his arms. Only then did he feel the depression in his heart dissipate a little.
"Tuk-tuk-"
The sound of knocking on the window frames in the middle of the night is undoubtedly an excellent creation of horror atmosphere. Even "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" has to learn from him.
Xie Shengzhi picked up the half-read notebook on the bedside table and threw it against the wooden window with a dull sound.
"Get back."
With a loud shout, he turned his head towards Pei Jing who was knocking politely outside the window. Fortunately, Iris and the others were sent back to their rooms to rest and there was no one keeping watch outside, otherwise he would have been in trouble again.
It was obvious that Xie Shengzhi was no longer surprised by this scene. Ever since returning from his trip to Huangzhou, Pei Jingxun and Cui Ci'an had appeared in Xie's house in the middle of the night, either because they had learned Xie Shengzhi's "nightmare" or because they were really nervous.
Until one evening, when he heard Xie Shengzhi whispering to Sui Yu in his arms, Pei Jingxie finally couldn't help but knock on the window frame.
After being let in and sleeping there for a night, even though I only had a bed on the floor, I was so happy.
Cui Ci'an, who had been sleeping on the tree, saw this and wanted to come in as well. He was still as pitiful as ever, and did everything Sui Yu said obediently. Well, he couldn't be driven out.
The small room accommodated three adult men.
The spacious inner room felt cramped, especially for the two people sleeping together, who were scrambling to sleep on the side of the bed.
Such scenes have become commonplace in just a dozen days.
Xie Shengzhi suppressed the urge to crush Pei Jingde to death, and looked coldly at Pei Jingde who crawled in on his own, followed by the tall and strong Cui Ci'an who flew in.
A young general with handsome features and vigor, and an inspector with picturesque features and a cold demeanor, both turned out to be gangsters climbing over walls in the middle of the night.
I wonder how many nobles and celebrities will be shocked if this is made public.
Wrapping Sui Yu's body, who was only wearing a middle shirt, with a brocade quilt, Xie Shengzhi turned his back to them, patted Sui Yu's back and coaxed her to sleep.
Pei Jing touched his nose, chatted with Cui Ci'an with ease, and then lay down on the side closer to the bed and fell asleep.
His chest, which had been tightly gripped just now, finally felt like he could breathe again. Even just taking a look at Yaoyao made him feel much better.
Cui Ci'an pulled the quilt that was pulled so hard that it could no longer cover him towards him, thinking that he must prepare another thin quilt tomorrow. Pei Jingxie was too dishonest.
He would wake up from the cold every time, but fortunately the weather was getting warmer and he wouldn't catch a cold.
His mysophobia was still there. Cui Ci'an even slept with his clothes on, without taking off his shirt, which made Pei Jing extremely uncomfortable.
Because Sui Yu still needed to rest, it was not possible to have an attack, so she held it in until the next morning.
As soon as Sui Yu woke up, she heard a gust of wind, which was as powerful as a tiger and whipped people with boundless anger.
As I got up to wash up, I heard Iris muttering quietly, "My lady, how come I see the Second Master and that vicious Censor in the courtyard every day?"
Even if she came to challenge her brother-in-law to a duel, she wouldn't be so frequent. She only entered the inner courtyard.
Fortunately, everyone in the courtyard is trustworthy, otherwise if the news gets out, my wife would probably be criticized.
And...it doesn't look like a duel, but more like a fight to the death.
The sharp long-tasseled spear stabbed towards the throat without any avoidance, and the knife chopped straight towards the brother-in-law's shoulder. Both of them looked like they wanted to kill each other.
Scary!
Iris shuddered and skillfully styled her wife's hair.
Someone from the palace just now came to announce that the newly favored Concubine Li wanted to summon the lady into the palace, so she had her hair done in a flying fairy bun, which was neither overly gorgeous nor plain.
"I need to match this floor-length floral dress with Bai Yu's necklace. Iris, please help me find it."
Sui Yu opened her arms and as Iris tidied her clothes, she looked at the two people who were still fighting in the yard.
Iris's thoughts were immediately carried away, and she forgot the question she had just asked. After responding crisply, she enthusiastically went to look for a matching set of headgear.
The sound of the wind was still being carried up by the sharp weapons in the fierce fight, making it difficult to see who was who. The attack and defense were well-organized, with a murderous aura, and they were determined to kill each other.
Until the moment Sui Yu stepped out of the room, the red tassel spear that was originally going to pierce the throat turned around and used the stick to block Cui Ci'an.
The big knife that was chopped towards Pei Jingxie with the force of a dragon and a tiger was thrown to the ground, and Cui Ci'an continued to "compete" with Pei Jingxie with his bare hands.
"Yaoyao~" Pei Jing's voice was so eloquent that it could make eighteen twists and turns. His almond-shaped eyes drooped innocently, full of smiles, as if he was not the one who had just made the cruel move to kill someone.
"Yaoyao." Cui Ci'an's peach blossom eyes were filled with tenderness, which seemed to shimmer in the sunlight. He seemed a little reserved, but there was no trace of murderous intent in him. His handsome face was full of warmth.
Sui Yu held her forehead with her hand and asked, "Don't you two have to go to court today?"
Xie Shengzhi went to the Golden Palace to accompany the emperor early in the morning.
"He's a close minister to the emperor. Many important and trivial matters will be handed over to him, and he can't be absent easily." Pei Jing secretly stepped on him and mentioned his own strengths. "I'm a military general. I can take sick leave at any time."
Unless there are special circumstances or major events, the emperor should not be too quick to approve.
"I don't have to go to court." Cui Ci'an added after Pei Jing's words.
After hearing their answers, Sui Yu didn't want to pay any more attention to them. She curled her lips and walked out.
"Can you please stop stepping on me when you reply to Yaoyao? If you keep doing this, I'll really beat you up."
Pei Jing was so annoyed that he turned around and waited for Sui Yu to leave before stabbing Cui Ci'an again, using killing moves at every step.
........
Without the permission of His Majesty or the Empress Dowager, the carriage summoning someone to the palace could only stop at the palace gate and proceed to the corresponding palace with the palace servants leading the way.
But when Sui Yu got off the carriage, she saw a sedan chair parked not far away, with a young eunuch standing beside it waiting.
Seeing her get off the carriage, he bowed and walked quickly towards her, not looking directly at Sui Yu. He kept his head down and replied, "Madam Xie, please get on the sedan chair. The master specially sent a servant to wait here, fearing that you would be tired if you walked in by yourself."
Sui Yu lowered her eyes and quietly got into the sedan chair.
In this palace, the head of a palace will be equipped with a special sedan chair, which can usually only be ridden by herself. If one wants to share this honor with others, he must get the oral permission of the emperor or the empress dowager.
It seems that Yirou's life in the palace will not be too bad.
Yirou's palace was at the northernmost end of the entire imperial palace, very far from the Golden Throne Hall, and even farther from the Fusheng Gate where Sui Yu entered.
After walking around half of the palace, I finally saw the three large golden characters "Yuming Palace" on the plaque.
When they entered the hall, Yirou came down with a smile on her face and helped her up. "There's no outsider here, no need to be so polite. Could it be that Yaoyao and I are estranged?"
Her face was charming, her cheeks were rosy, and she could tease people fluently. It seemed that she was indeed living a good life.
Sui Yu was led by her to sit on the armchair. She shook her head twice when she heard the words. The ruby crabapple hairpin on her temples was extremely gorgeous among her black hair.
It was given by Yirou.
Although Yirou didn't say anything, she immediately understood what Suiyu meant and smiled pleadingly, "It's my fault for making such random assumptions."
I have to say that Yirou has a strong learning ability. When she first came to Yingchao, she couldn't understand most of what was said, but now she can talk to others fluently and freely, and it has only been two months.
You know, she spent about a month returning to Wuman during her stay.
"Seeing that you are doing well, I feel relieved and won't bother with you about this."
Yirou felt warm in her heart.
"Actually...this time, I came here not only to talk to you, but I also want to ask you for a favor."
It's embarrassing to say this, but apart from Sui Yu, Yirou can't think of anyone else in Shengjing whom she can trust more.
"What's wrong?" Sui Yu's heart skipped a beat, fearing that something might happen to her, and asked in confusion.
Yirou stroked her belly, her cheeks flushed. "I think I'm pregnant, but it's been too short for me to feel it myself. I've sought out a few doctors I think are reliable. Could you give me some advice?"
The cannibalism in the deep palace may not be bloody, but it is definitely tragic.
She hadn't had time to establish a solid presence in the palace yet, and the birth of this child was not unexpected, but... starting from the past few days, she felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, and she also liked to eat sour foods.
Maya, who was beside her, had some medical skills, and although she couldn't be accurate, she could be 70% sure.
Originally, it was a good thing, but if the imperial physician was summoned casually, it would be equivalent to announcing to the entire harem: Come and see, take a look, take a look, Concubine Li is pregnant!
It might even be spread outside the palace and add a highlight to the storyteller's story.
There was no way. The Imperial Medical Bureau was not under anyone's control. She had only been in the palace for more than half a month. How could she be sure who she could trust?
In addition, there was no Empress in charge, and the position of Queen was vacant, so everyone was trying their best to fight for that position.
Although she is a princess of a foreign race, it should not be possible for her to do so, but she still needs to take sides, otherwise she may be lured into a deep pit in this turbulent harem.
These...it seems that she can only talk to Sui Yu besides Maya.
