The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
25. The Obsessed Brother, Pei Si Liang
The sun is already high enough out there. The birds that rather than chirping on the trees near the room had also flown far away to forage. But the girl in the room still had a chance under the blanket comfortably. Because of guarding Pei Zhang Xi until late at midnight last night, he was still sleepy this morning.
Xiao Bei repeatedly entered and checked if his master was awake. But until she almost ten times back and forth in the room, the beautiful girl still looks peaceful without showing any sign of waking up.
The servants looked at each other when they saw Xiao Bei coming out of the room while shaking his head at them. They signaled that what they had been waiting for since the sun had just risen a few hours ago was still not awake.
"It's not usually that the Queen wakes up late like this." One of the servants whispered to his friend.
"Is it possible that His Majesty is currently and the Empress has finally shown her dagger?"
"Hey don't talk carelessly. I heard from the maid that the Empress was in Her Majesty's room last night."
"Oh so it is. Thank goodness then. I'm relieved to know that the Empress hasn't acted in all this time." Those who gossip are servants in charge of sweeping. So they didn't have much of an impression of Lu Jing Yu.
"Xiao Bei." Finally the voice they were waiting for was heard. Xiao Bei immediately entered after gesturing for the servants to immediately prepare hot water for Lu Jing Yu to take a bath.
Inside that. Xiao Bei was shocked when he saw that the usually beautiful Lu Jing Yu looked messy. His black hair was more like a bird's nest. His eyes drooped lazily. Hanfuya is a mess.
"Is it morning?" Ask with a distinctive raucous sound of waking up. His tone also sounded inoperative.
"It's almost noon Empress." Xiao Bei replied as he glanced at the sun from the slightly open window.
"What?!" Quiet Lu Jing Yu was surprised. "Why didn't you wake me up? How is His Majesty's condition? I need to see her soon." Lu Jing Yu came down in a hurry. He almost fell out of bed.
It was fortunate that Xiao Bei swiftly supported Lu Jing Yu's body to the point of not falling. He immediately dealt with Lu Jing Yu. "Be careful Empress. Your Majesty is better now. Right now His Majesty is in the study room."
"Thank you Xiao Bei. But is that really true?"
"Yes. I've asked people to look at the situation."
"All right then. Prepare me for a bath." Xiao Bei immediately instructed the servants who were already waiting outside to enter.
This morning Lu Jing Yu was too lazy. So he asked Xiao Bei to dress him up. After all, the servants have begun to be skilled in making the taste that suits his wishes.
"Not bad. Your abilities have grown tremendously." Praise Lu Jing Yu to Xiao Bei and the three maids who helped her this time.
"Thank you, Empress. All this is thanks to the Empress." The servants smiled happily. All this time Lu Jing Yu treated them well. Very different from the rumors about him. So little by little they began to accept Lu Jing Yu as their master. In the past, in this residence they barely had any status. They are lowly slaves.
As they were chosen as servants serving Lu Jing Yu, they were even made fun of back then because according to all the servants present in King Rui's residence, even though Lu Jing Yu was Rui's empress, she said, he was nothing more than a status that could be considered non-existent. They also feel that they are getting lower.
But right now, there was no sense of inferiority in them. Even they felt proud of having been the servant chosen to serve Lu Jing Yu. They felt lucky for getting such a good employer like Lu Jing Yu. They could also taste delicious cuisine because of Lu Jing Yu. It was because every time Lu Jing Yu cooked, they would also get equal parts.
"Lu Jing Yu! Out you!" Shouted a woman outside the Lan Hua pavilion.
Inside, Lu Jing Yu couldn't help but massage her dizzy forehead. Who made a fuss at a time like this. There is no memory of this incident in the novel. It had never even been discussed about Pei Zhang Xi being ill. Especially about the indistinct angry woman in front of her room. Who her?
"Hear! Prak!" The sound of screaming followed by the sound of a broken pot sounded.
"The Empress, it's better the Empress is inside only. Let the servant see it." Xiao Bei was immediately scared and worried. From what the woman in front did, it seemed that that person was not someone who could be underestimated considering that he could enter even more daring to make a fuss in the residence of King Rui.
"True Empress. The queen is inside. Let you get out." The other two servants nodded in agreement. They subconsciously had a sense of responsibility to protect Lu Jing Yu at all costs.
"That's not gonna work. What he was looking for was me. Even though you're out, I'm sure the matter won't be able to be resolved. It is better to solve the problem by facing it directly. That way besides we know who it is, we also know how to deal with it." Lu Jing Yu said calmly as she tidied up her clothes before standing up and exiting the room with Xiao Bei and the three maids behind her. Lu Jing Yu's face was calm. While Xiao Bei and the others were worried and scared at the same time.
"Shelf!" A pot shattered right in front of Lu Jing Yu who had just come out.
"Be careful Empress!" Pekik Xiao Bei was anxious. He immediately stood in front of Lu Jing Yu to protect her.
A beautiful girl folded her hands in front of her chest. His eyes were so arrogant and demeaning. He looked at Lu Jing Yu with hostility. Sharp and threatening. His chin was raised high as he glared at his eyes.
Lu Jing Yu tried to recall a figure with this kind of physical features. Then she remembered that one of Pei's half-brothers Zhang Xi was obsessed with her husband. In the novel there has even been an incident where this girl once blocked an arrow for Pei Zhang Xi.
Princess Pei Si Liang. The daughter of concubine Lin. Pei Si Liang had admired Pei Zhang Xi since childhood. She would secretly go see her brother practicing the sword while still living in the palace. When Pei Zhang Xi went to the battlefield, he personally asked the Emperor for permission to allow him to participate. The request was immediately rejected.
But Pei Si Liang inherited the mighty nature of the Emperor's head. He left secretly and went to the battlefield without anyone knowing. At that time on the border there was a conflict with the inner tribes who were outside the borders of the kingdom. They suddenly attacked the border. The inner tribes were famous for their fighting abilities. They are also crafty.
The army led by Pei Zhang Xi almost won. But they used a clever way. They deliberately brought Pei Zhang Xi's army to a place where some people were already waiting to attack.
Pei Si Liang came at that moment. And make himself as Tameng to protect Pei Zhang Xi from the arrows that point at him. The severely injured Pei Si Liang was finally unable to be saved.
Recalling this story, Lu Jing Yu thought that if this girl was really Pei Si Liang, that meant that the war in question would be imminent. Has the story changed? The war was fought after a month of marriage. And it's only been a week now. Was he the one who changed the story?
