The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
Chapter 189
Pei Shi Liang returned to his seat leisurely like nothing had happened before. Xing Xi gave him a drink of water as soon as he sat down. Pei Shi Liang accepted it with pleasure and gratitude. Accustomed to practicing martial arts, Pei Shi Liang preferred water over tea.
However, Pei Shi Liang's gaze accidentally met Xian Zi Xuan's eyes which seemed to be stripping him. He felt that Xian Zi Xuan knew what he was doing and made him nervous so he accidentally choked on his own drinking water.
"Mr Princess. What the hell's going on? Is something wrong?" Xing Xi panicked. He immediately helped Pei Shi Liang take a cup from him and placed it on the table.
Living inside the palace was almost no peace at all. There will always be suspicion and caution. There are many traitors who will do something evil for money or by force. Using poison to support his plan. One would not even hesitate to eliminate others for the sake of status and power. That was why even though Xing Xi felt that she had checked carefully and ascertained if what Pei Shi Liang consumed, she was still unable to put down her worry in the slightest.
"It's okay Xing Xi. I was just a little out of focus and subconsciously choked." Pei Shi Liang waved his hand to calm the panicked Xing Xi. He knew that his servant was a loyal servant and treated him sincerely. He did not want to worry her because of her negligence.
"Good then. I'm afraid that something will happen to the princess."
"Aren't there you? Didn't you promise me that nothing will happen while you're here, right?" Pei Shi Liang squinted his eyes.
"Hum! Sure oes. Servant is here and no one will be able to hurt you Princess. I'll use my own life as a bet." Xing Xi said confidently.
"Haha. Oh come. I was just kidding. Even though I'm sure of you about it. But you still have to put more importance on your own life than anyone else even me. No matter who it is, a life is precious."
"Cannot be. I'm just one..."
"Snouts. Stoptalking. I'm getting dizzy hearing you so chatty." Pei Shi Liang did not want to hear Xing Xi's rebuttal.
To Xing Xi, Pei Shi Liang was not only an employer to her but her savior angel. It started ten years ago. When Pei Shi Liang slipped out of the palace when he was seven years old. At that moment he saw a little boy who was beaten for taking the bread of a seller who fell on the ground. But the seller instead yelled at him stealing and made everyone around hit him without even listening to his explanation.
Seeing the injustice in front of him was of course Pei Shi Liang who since childhood had been obsessed by Pei Zhang Xi could not just keep silent. Since he was a child and it was impossible to save the little boy directly, he ran to find soldiers on patrol and asked for his help. Despite her testimony, the girl still has not been saved. Everyone would accuse him if he was his friend who definitely defended him.
That was why he ended up being forced to show his identity in order to save the little Xing Xi who had fainted while being rescued. From then on Xing Xi followed him and he finally had to accept the punishment by bringing a guard by his side wherever he went to block him if he ran away again.
After Pei Shi Liang appeared, the appearance after that no longer seemed attractive. The guests still could not forget Pei Shi Liang's imposing appearance. It also makes almost everyone who will appear lose confidence before they perform. Time passes so slowly and boring. Only a few appearances were able to attract their attention.
Xian Mu Xuan finally got his turn to perform. It comes with complete preparation. He had practiced dancing together with several dancers before he left for the Shao Empire. He was waiting for this moment to arrive. He must show how amazing he is so that a strong man will fall in love with him and be willing to help him solve his problems.
With all-white clothes fluttering beautifully makes it more beautiful. His face was beautifully. His white cheeks were red. Its small but taper nose makes it very attractive. Not to mention her lips were given the red dye Cibabar. It contrasts with the white clothes she wears.
But from every movement, snagat seen if several times he will move towards Pei Zhang Xi. Directing his eyes towards the married man. Making Lu Jing Yu who was sitting right beside Pei Zhang Xi couldn't possibly be unaware of her.
"Your Majesty. Congrats! There seems to be a princess who has a request against you." Lu Jing Yu sneered. She hated her husband being stared at like that by another girl.
"Yu'er, don't blame your husband's charm. But don't worry, I'll turn away. In my heart there is no place left for anyone else." Pei Zhang Xi knew Lu Jing Yu was jealous and immediately seduced her.
"It seems like every day the ability to seduce His Majesty is getting shameless. Who taught His Majesty? Does anyone say it sounds so tacky?" Lu Jing Yu squinted her eyes. She realized that the longer her husband was more good at seducing and saying sweet words. Should he start to suspect? Didn't people say that a husband would turn sweet when there was something he was hiding?
"really? But the salesman said the appeal was the most stylish at the moment." Pei Zhang Xi said angrily. He really felt cheated!
"What seller?" Lu Jing Yu was surprised to hear Pei Zhang Xi's reply.
"book seller. I learned it from this book. I bought it in a shop in the capital and read it when I had some free time a while ago." Pei Zhang Xi took out a red-bound book from under his cloak.
"Huk! His majesty took him under a cloak like this?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Let me see it." Lu Jing Yu snatched the book and immediately opened it. Then it didn't take long, he couldn't help but laugh after reading just a few sentences.
