The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
52. A Love Statement That Depletes Treasure
Pei Zhang Xi almost fell down as he reached in front of Lu Jing Yu's room with a gasp of breath. Xiao Bei did not know what to do and just silently looked at Pei Zhang Xi holding his knee as he bent his body.
"How is he doing?" Pei Zhang Xi asked as soon as he regained his composure.
"The empress in her room since the female healer came out. The servant was also asked to leave by the Empress. So the servant doesn't know." Xiao Bei replied in fear. He lowered his head in fear if he was punished.
"alright. I'll go in and see it." Xiao Bei nodded in agreement. At the moment he can't help anything. Only Pei Zhang Xi was his last hope to see Lu Jing Yu's condition inside.
Pei Zhang Xi entered cautiously. His footsteps even he set so as not to cause a big sound. However the silence inside the room could not hide the already refined sound of his footsteps so Lu Jing Yu could still hear him.
"Come out Xiao Bei. Let me be alone for a moment." Said Lu Jing Yu blankly. He did not take his eyes off his hands that were on his flat stomach.
"Yu'er it's me." Pei Zhang Xi looked at the expressionless Lu Jing Yu with worry. "Can we talk?" Pei Zhang Xi continued when he received no reply from Lu Jing Yu.
Without waiting for Lu Jing Yu's approval, Pei Zhang Xi sat down by the side of the bed. In front of Lu Jing Yu. Bravely, he touched Lu Jing Yu's hand on his stomach.
"If Your Majesty doesn't want this child, I'll go take him when he's born." Pei Zhang Xi was surprised to hear what Lu Jing Yu said.
"What did you say? Why don't I want my own son?"
"Anyway we'll split up in the end. And His Majesty will unite with Miss Zhu and there is also Princess Wei Qian Nian. My son may not have the affection." Lu Jing Yu pulled out the hand that Pei Zhang Xi was holding. But Pei Zhang Xi was questioning him.
"Stop talking goodbye to me. I won't divorce you no matter what." Pei Zhang Xi said firmly.
"Your Majesty, I'm not the same as any other woman. I wouldn't accept if my husband had another woman in his life. Not just having another wife, even thinking about another woman I wouldn't accept either. As for Her Majesty, Wei Qian Nian's daughter is ready to become a concubine and again the lady Zhu you love so much. I can't live in a relationship like that."
"What empty talk are you talking about? I have already rejected Wei Qian Qian's daughter or else that was in front of the Emperor's Father earlier. Even I made up the reason that you were pregnant so that I could reject her. And Zhu Man Xie, I have never had any relationship with him." Lu Jing Yu raised her face and looked at Pei Zhang Xie's eyes that were exuding confidence. He said he wasn't lying.
But he is a prince. With her status, even though she had currently rejected the concubine and denied her love for Zhu Man Xie, in the future there might be other concubines or other girls coming. Thinking of this Lu Jing Yu lowered her head again.
"Why? Don't you trust me?"
"But it won't work. His Majesty is a prince. Couldn't the prince marry three wives and four concubines?"
"There are no rules that require that. If you don't want it. I will never accept all the women they gave me." Pei Zhang Xi looked at Lu Jing Yu confidently.
"If Your Majesty wants to?"
"I? I would never want them all. Before I knew you, I never had any thoughts of getting married before. Even if the Emperor's father didn't force me to marry you back then I wouldn't marry anyone either." It does. Marriage was never in Pei Zhang Xi's mind. Even after marriage, he never appreciated this marriage and intends to divorce someday. But after getting to know Lu Jing Yu well, he felt that this marriage was not bad. He also started accepting Lu Jing Yu by his side. Even Pei Zhang Xi started to feel that he loved Lu Jing Yu somehow from when.
"What if the Emperor's Father forces His Majesty again next time?"
"I'll reject it. Didn't I already reject one? It makes no difference to refuse again next time. And to agree to marry you first, it's because I can't argue with her. Don't you yourself know what happened back then so I don't have the slightest gap to deny how much I want to?" thats right. They were married because he designed Pei Zhang Xi so there was no choice but to marry him. Although back then Lu Jing Yu had yet to replace her original host. But he couldn't help but know that it wasn't him.
"I'm sorry. I was being childish at the time."
"No problem. Now I should be thankful that I know you. So, are you going to accept me?"
"Can Your Majesty promise to be faithful?"
"Yes. I promise you." Pei Zhang Xi nodded his head. Then wrote the agreement that he had transferred all the assets in his name to Lu Jing Yu's. Lu Jing Yu was very surprised when she saw what Pei Zhang Xi was doing.
Pei Zhang Xi took his stamp, scratched his thumb and made his blood an ink to sign the paper.
"See this. Now I'm the poorest man who doesn't even have anything. If until I betray you one day, you can kick me out of this residence. But I can make sure it never happens. Do you believe me now?" Pei Zhang Xi handed the paper to Lu Jing Yu after rolling it up. Lu Jing Yu accepted it doubtfully.
"But Your Majesty, there is no love between us." Lu Jing Yu placed the scroll by the side and lowered her head. Is correct. He forgot the most important thing.
"We can start from the beginning. I believe that love will come someday. I don't believe in my power I can't conquer you." Pei Zhang Xi said confidently.
"How about Your Majesty?"
"Do you believe that I love you first?" Pei Zhang Xi suddenly brought his face closer. The distance between the two of them was only a few inches until their noses touched each other.
The room was back in silence. Lu Jing Yu was too shocked and Pei Zhang Xi also did not believe that he could do such a flirtatious thing.
"Well! My eye! eyes stained! I didn't see anything. You guys just continue." Lu Jing Yu immediately pushed Pei Zhang Xi when she heard the familiar sound of a crumb. Pei Zhang Xi stared dislikefully at his mother who suddenly appeared to ruin the atmosphere. He gritted his teeth in annoyance. Can't it come later after he gets those sweet lips?
"Ehem. Open your eyes. What else have you never seen that could stain your already dirty eyes?" Pei Zhang Xi pulled his body. Staring at Concubine Su who was still standing in her place despite saying she was going to come out.
"I think I took the wrong child when I gave birth. Otherwise my son would have a poisonous tongue like that." Concubine Su walked in and placed the item she was carrying on the table.
"Oh!" Pei Zhang Xi snorted and turned his face away.
"My good son-in-law, don't think too much about that brash kid or my granddaughter being like him!" As concubine Su spoke, she glanced at Pei Zhang Xi sharply.
"He's my son. Of course it will be similar to me. Why do they look like me!"
"Yu'er don't listen to him. Oh yes I brought you swallow nest soup to increase stamina. I've asked Xiao Bei to warm it up for you." Concubine Su held onto Lu Jing Yu's hand and sat on the bed. Shift Pei Zhang Xi using his bo-kong. The driven Pei Zhang Xi reluctantly stood up and sat down on a chair. Look at what her mother brought this time.
"Thank you mom."
"You don't have to thank me. You just need to take good care of yourself and my future grandchildren. Understood?" Lu Jing Yu was so unfamiliar with such an intimate touch. So when Consort Su stroked her stomach she felt very embarrassed and her face turned red.
"Where was my mother's hand placed?!" Pei Zhang Xi who saw Lu Jing Yu's uncomfortable face immediately pulled Consort Su's hand away.
"What the hell? We are both women. Are you jealous?"
"What jealousy? Yu'er was uncomfortable. Don't let the mother hurt the baby in Yu'er's stomach." Concubine Su finally noticed Lu Jing Yu's face which did look uncomfortable as Pei Zhang Xi had said.
"Oh forgive mom. I must be making you uncomfortable." Concubine Su instead patted the back of Lu Jing Yu's hand carefully. This time he noticed Lu Jing Yu's expression worried that her daughter-in-law was uncomfortable.
"It's okay mom. I'm glad to have a mother-in-law who's as considerate as mother."
"of course. This mother was the best mother in the entire palace. You can trust me." Concubine Su's mood improved again. Jing Yu nodded in agreement.
Concubine Su was there until the afternoon and immediately returned home after the envoy from the palace picked her up. Although reluctant, Consort Su left King Rui's residence after giving Lu Jing Yu some advice regarding pregnancy.
