037 “Jiao Men Yin” Chapter 36

Chapter 36 Heli Shu (Plot)

There were recent rumors in the capital that the regent was attracted to the eldest princess’s only daughter, Pan Wei. However, these rumors did not reach Zhu Yao’s ears. Lu Chen asked Fei Ying to go to the eldest princess’s house and spread the word, “She was not buried with the late emperor. She must cherish it.” After that, he ignored it.

At this day’s palace banquet, a woman came out of the dressing room and walked up to Zhu Yao.

“I have to rely on my sister to take care of me from now on.”

Zhu Yao was stunned, “What did this girl say?”

“Don’t you know that my sister still doesn’t know? My sister’s reputation has been taken over by the regent…” Pan Yan twisted his handkerchief shyly.

“What happened to Mingjie being regent?” Zhu Yao asked.

“Did sister deliberately embarrass sister?”

“This princess has no younger sister. Please respect yourself, girl.” After Zhu Yao finished speaking, she wanted to leave but was stopped by Pan Yan.

“Aren’t you afraid that the regent will know that you are jealous?”

Linglong pushed her away, “You deserve it!” After saying that, she protected Zhu Yao and left.

Behind her, Pan Yan laughed with determination. Her mother forbade her from dreaming about the regent, but she would not give up. Now rumors are spreading throughout the capital, and she has entered the regent’s palace. Hum!

After the palace banquet, Lu Chen got into the carriage and hugged his beloved wife as usual, “You eat so little, don’t you like it?”

“Well, I can’t eat it.” Zhu Yao sat on the other side coldly, “It’s too hot…” Fanning with her hands.

Um?Is it hot?Lu Chen didn’t feel it and put his hand on her forehead, “Is it fever? Is there any discomfort?”

“No, I just feel that the carriage is not breathable.”

Lu Chen ordered: “Go back home quickly.”

“Yes!” The carriage sped up.

After returning to the palace, Zhu Yao went back to her room to rest. Lu Chen went to the study to handle official duties. At night, he returned to the bedroom to see his beloved wife sleeping peacefully.

Lu Chen’s lips curled up slightly as he got on the bed and hugged his beloved wife, kissing her back.

“Yao’er… um…” She actually slept so soundly without waiting for him. He must take care of her soon.

Zhu Yao opened her eyes, “I’m so tired and want to sleep.”

“What’s wrong with you?”

“Nothing, I’m too sleepy.”

Lu Chen kissed her, “Okay, it’s up to you.” After saying that, he hugged her and closed his eyes.

Zhu Yao counted the time in her heart. After a long time, she seemed to unconsciously turn over and leave Lu Chen’s arms, shrink into the bed and fall asleep.

Behind her, Lu Chen opened his eyes… With so much inner strength, how could he not know that the woman in his arms was pretending to sleep just now, and now she was far away from him…

Zhu Yao woke up the next morning and found herself in Lu Chen’s arms. She wanted to turn over and leave but was hugged tighter.

“Are you angry?”

“No, I’m not angry. Let me go. I can’t breathe.”

“If you’re not angry, why don’t you want to get close to me?”

“No, it’s too hot. I’m hungry and I’m going to ask how breakfast was.” Zhu Yao was about to get up but was pulled back by the man.

Lu Chen forcefully overpowered her and asked, “What’s going on?”

“I told you it’s okay. You’re very heavy and I feel uncomfortable.” Zhu Yao pushed him away, got out of bed and called the maid in.

Lu Chen frowned and went to the study.

Zhu Yao was as cold as ice to him in the next two days, and Lu Chen called Linglong.

“What is the princess worried about?”

Linglong lowered her head and said nothing.

“Say!”

Linglong still didn’t speak.

“Do you think that because the princess likes you, I won’t kill you?”

Linglong turned her head to the side, “Kill! Just because the prince has a new love, the princess doesn’t like her. We slaves can’t protect the princess, so we deserve to die, huh!” Linglong closed her eyes and waited for death.

Lu Chen frowned, “What new love?”

Linglong opened her eyes and recounted what happened at the palace banquet.

“Who is that person?”

Why does the prince look like he doesn’t know?

Linglong stuttered and said, “Slave… I don’t know who that person is?”

“Flying Eagle went to find out who was not present when the princess returned to the banquet that day.”

“My subordinates obey.”

Linglong looked regretful and was scolded by the housekeeper.

The butler spoke earnestly, “If you do something like this again, I have to report it! For the sake of the princess, the prince will not punish you.”

“Yes.” Linglong also regretted not persuading the princess to ask clearly.

Half an hour later, Fei Ying reported that it was Pan Wei, the only daughter of the eldest princess, and brought back Pan Wei’s portrait.

Lu Chen returned to the main courtyard with the portrait.

“Yao’er, look at this person, have you seen him before?”

She even has a portrait, so I want to ask her what she means by taking a concubine…

Zhu Yao closed her eyes and took out a piece of paper, “This is the letter of peace. If there are no problems, please sign it. From now on, we will return to the bridge and return to the road!”

“I’ll take the children away. You don’t like them anyway, so we won’t bother you anymore.”

Lu Chen’s veins popped out, “You want to make peace with me without even asking me?”

“Are you showing me a portrait just because you want to take a concubine? Is there anything else you need to ask?”

Lu Chen was stunned, seeing his beloved wife crying like pear blossoms with rain, and he lost all his energy.

“Yao’er, you misunderstood. I have nothing to do with this person. I brought the portrait to ask you if this is the person who lied to you at the palace banquet.” He took out a handkerchief and wiped his beloved wife’s face.

“How could a woman’s reputation be so precious that she would tell such a lie?” Zhu Yao was stunned, her tears continuing to flow.

“I didn’t expect anyone to have an idea for you.”

“You really have nothing to do with her?”

“No!”

“Didn’t you lie to me?”

“My husband has only lied to you about pleasant things, and I will never lie to you about other things. You believe me.”

Seeing that her tears were turning into a smile, Lu Chen put on a straight face, “Are you just ignoring me because of this inexplicable woman?”

Zhu Yao lowered her head and said nothing.

“I don’t like children? Do you want to take them away? Let me see this letter and the letter…”

“You just don’t like them.” Zhu Yao muttered quietly.

“Why don’t I like them? I just don’t like them clinging to you. How can I treat them badly in daily life? They are our children. How could I not like them?”

“What you just said were angry words…” Zhu Yao tugged on his sleeve.

Lu Chen read He Li Shu: “Bridge to bridge? Road to road?”

Zhu Yao wanted to snatch He Lishu back, but Lu Chen raised his hand and watched.

The more he looked at Lu Chen, the darker his face became. “Marriage and marriage have nothing to do with each other from now on? Do you still want to marry someone else?” He Lishu burned in Lu Chen’s hands and turned into ashes. Lu Chen turned around and left.

Zhu Yao’s face turned slightly pale where she was. It was over, her husband was really angry…

After leaving the main courtyard, Lu Chen said with a dark face, “Fei Ying, send the eldest princess and her family to meet the late emperor.”

“Yes!”

Half an hour later, Feiying quietly returned to the study and continued to guard the door. Lu Chen lowered his head and read the military report intently.

Lu Chen didn’t return to his room until midnight.

“Husband…” Zhu Yao looked at his face carefully.

“Yeah.”

After Lu Chen took a shower and changed clothes, he lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.

Zhu Yao bit her lip and mustered up the courage to get close to him.
