The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
92. Overcoming Fear
Pei Zhang Xi stood behind Lu Jing Yu with his hands hugging his wife's waist. His eyes were tightly shut just like Lu Jing Yu had told him. The two walked to the edge of the third floor slowly and together. Pei ZHANG Xi's. Thumping fast each time a step was taken by them.
In front of him, Lu Jing Yu did not stop saying words to strengthen and give confidence. Lu Jing Yu gave an impetus to Pei Zhang Xi not to think too much and guess. In particular Lu Jing Yu asked Pei Zhang Xi to empty his mind not to think of anything.
Every step Pei Zhang Xi took felt heavy. Step by step put pressure on him. Even though his eyes were closed, he knew where they were headed. His feet began to tremble. In his mind was already pictured how people were shouting under the tower with their scary faces.
Pei Zhang Xi wanted to stop everything and stop trying. But as he recalled the words of Lu Jing Yu who wanted to see the world with him wherever they were, he made up his mind. Especially when he remembered that he too soon became a father. It would be a shame if his son found out that his father was afraid of heights.
Lu Jing Yu stopped her steps as they were one meter away from the edge of the floor. That means it's still far from the wall. Pei Zhang Xi also stopped like Lu Jing Yu. But he said nothing or did nothing. He just kept quiet and waited.
"Your Majesty, try to feel the air coming down on our faces." Lu Jing Yu said as she began to deeply inhale the fragrant fragrance of flowers mixed with the fresh scent of wine brought by the wind.
"How's it?"
"Fresh. The air here is fresh."
"Hem. Although the wind here is firmer than the wind downstairs, but the aroma is not brought by this wind is fresher. Because it comes from a faraway place."
"Yes. There's a wine smell here. To the south there should be a vineyard. It's fruit season now. So it must be that this scent came from there." Pei Zhang Xi's.
"Where is the vineyard? Why don't I see it?" Lu Jing Yu asked after bending her head to the right and to the left.
"Is there no south?" Pei ZHANG Xi furrowed his brows. His eyes were still closed so did not know the wide smile of the woman in front of him.
"Where? There's no." Lu Jing Yu was still smiling.
"Yu'er that plantation couldn't possibly just disappear right? Is it on the west side?"
"none. Your Majesty why is there no winery? I want to see it."
"That's in sa.na..." Unknowingly Pei Zhang Xi opened his eyes and pointed to the south, where the vineyards spread wide. "Yu 'er..." Pei Zhang Xi turned his head and found Lu Jing Yu who was smiling widely.
"Isn't the view here beautiful, Your Majesty?" Lu Jing Yu smiled as she looked at the bewildered Pei Zhang Xi.
"It's beautiful. I didn't expect that the estate would look like this from above. I thought it would just look boring."
"yeah. Didn't I tell you? Now what is your Majesty still afraid of?"
"Looks yes. But if there was you here I wouldn't fear anything." Pei Zhang Xi hugged Lu Jing Yu again. And even brought Lu Jing Yu closer to the edge of the tower so that the scenery increasingly looked beautiful.
Quan Yuan looked at the two people hugging on the tower with a relieved smile. He was convinced that only the Empress could free His Majesty from his childhood trauma.
"Quan Yuan is His Majesty already not afraid of heights now? Aren't they seen standing on the edge?" Mo Ting scratched his chin.
Today Mo Han who usually took care of all the needs of Pei Zhang Xi went to the Yunguang bureau to replace Pei Zhang Xi took care of the matters there temporarily. So today is the one in charge of making sure things go smoothly and well for Pei Zhang Xi and Lu Jing Yu. Xiao Bei giggled at Quan Yuan's words.
Lu Jing Yu's eyes were interested in seeing the workers who were busy watering the vine in the plantation. He saw the workers take water from the lake and put it in two wooden baskets lifted with a wood on his shoulders. After filling the tub full of water, they had to carry the water through the uphill road to get to the plantation.
Among the workers, there was a man who was not old enough who walked with difficulty with water. When passing the ramp he will look very tired. Maybe because he was tired, he became unfocused and eventually tripped and almost fell. Fortunately, other workers immediately exerted energy and helped.
"Your Majesty, do they always work like this?" Lu Jing Yu looked up he met Pei ZHANG Xi's confused eyes.
"Yes. Why?"
"Wouldn't this be difficult and take a lot of time and energy if you have to go back and forth to take water from the lake little by little?"
"Indeed. But there is no other way. There are no rivers that can be used for irrigation. So you can only rely on the water from the lake."
"Please get me there. I want to look closely."
"What are you going to do there? It's hot right now. We better rest in the pavilion. Our lunch will be ready too. We'll be there later in the afternoon." Pei Zhang Xi looked at the sun shining brightly overhead.
"No, Your Majesty. I also wouldn't be able to rest or eat if I was still just guessing without knowing clearly."
"alright. Hmmmm. I can't give up on you." Pei Zhang Xi pulled Lu Jing Yu into his arms.
"Thank you, my dearest one. Emmuach." Lu Jing Yu was overjoyed and reflexively kissed Pei Zhang Xi's cheek to express her gratitude.
"Do you not want to go to the estate now and intend to change Yu'er's plan?" Pei Zhang Xi did not expect Lu Jing Yu to take the initiative to kiss her cheek and narrow her eyes.
"No-no. I want to go to the farm now. Let's go." Lu Jing Yu quickly pulled Pei Zhang Xi down from the tower.
