The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
5. Let Childhood Lover Meet
Lu Jing Yu turned around and was about to walk but a hand blocked her arm and forced her to stop and turn her head back. He glanced and raised his eyebrows when he saw Pei Zhang Xi's hand holding tightly to his hand. Somehow he felt that the situation was a little visible.
"What's wrong?" Asked Lu Jing Yu in astonishment. Shouldn't they be happy because he gives them a chance to talk 'personally'?
"After this we still have to visit my mother."
"Ooh, then I'll wait there. If you're done talking, you can call me back." Lu Jing Yu spoke lightly as she pointed at a ginko pomongan that was at the end of the street. He felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said. But as he saw the darkening change in Pei Zhang Xi's face, he couldn't help but feel astonished.
"You're Rui's queen. You don't have to go for anyone else." Pei Zhang Xi glanced at Zhu Man Xie as he spoke. Reminding the girl of her current status was nothing to them.
"Eh? Don't you guys need time to talk? It'sit's okay. I'll wait for you to finish talking." Lu Jing Yu thought the current Pei Zhang Xi was just feeling bad for him. So he has to show that he's okay. But Pei Zhang Xi's face was getting ugly. He doesn't talk anymore. But also did not let go of her hand checks on Lu Jing Yu.
"..." - ".Did I say the wrong thing? Why does he look angry? Lu Jing Yu furrowed her brows incomprehensibly.
"If there's anything Miss Zhu wants to say, please talk now. If there's no we'll go." Lu Jing Yu looked at Pei Zhang Xi who was staring at Zhu Man Xie flatly as he said so. It was like talking to someone she didn't know at all. But in the novel 'The Prince's Love Story', Lu Jing Yu clearly knew how deep the feelings of the two were portrayed in it.
Zhu Man Xie squeezed the handkerchief in his right hand violently as his eyes emitted a sense of disbelief. His eyes look sad. Equipped with the lower lip that he bit with anxiety like he was holding back a cry. If someone who doesn't know what's going on sees it, they'll think that he's being bullied by someone.
"I.. I. I'm not. There's nothing to talk about. Forgive me for interrupting the time of His Majesty King Rui and Empress Rui." Zhu Man Xie bowed his body in reverence. There was clearly dissatisfaction within his misty eyes.
"If Miss Zhu has nothing to talk about, we still have business." Pei Zhang Xi pulled Lu Jing Yu's hand away from the scene.
Staring at the backs of the two people who were slowly moving away from there, Zhu Man Xie gritted his teeth. What made him uncomfortable was when he saw Pei Zhang Xi's cold gaze when he looked at him earlier. Everyone said that Pei Zhang Xi was a cold and heartless prince. But he didn't feel that way before.
His mother and Pei Zhang Xi's mother were close friends since childhood. Even after the two got married, they were still familiar with one another. Her mother would expose her to concubine Su's residence as they visited her bin who was the queen in this palace from time to time. Thus, Zhu Man Xie and Pei Zhang Xi became close to each other. And during that time as well, Pei Zhang Xi had always treated him well.
Even until they were teenagers, the two were still often together and even rumored to be small lovers because they did look harmonious. Moreover, Pei Zhang Xi who looked cold on an ordinary day, would always treat Zhu Man Xie well. So everyone thought of the idea of a little lover in their minds and secretly prayed for the two so that they could be together someday.
This was the first time he had seen Pei Zhang Xi's cold gaze and he felt a pain in his heart. Although he had calculated beforehand that this might be the case, he had not expected it to turn out to be like this. Suddenly he felt that he was being ignored in the end.
Lu Jing Yu who was forcefully pulled by Pei Zhang Xi pursed her lips unhappily. He was kind enough to give them a chance to talk, but the cold man still did not treat him well.
"Other times you're not allowed to repeat the same mistake." Pei Zhang Xi suddenly stopped and made the dreamy Lu Jing Yu again hit his back.
However this time, Lu Jing Yu did not dare to protest because she felt that this was her fault for daydreaming as she walked. If he were to hold him accountable from this 'accident', wouldn't he be blasphemed for going too far?
"Can you walk carefully?" Pei Zhang Xi glanced at Lu Jing Yu's white hand rubbing her slightly red nose.
"Dreaming?"
"Yes!" Lu Jing Yu nodded with excitement. "I don't think it's good to treat Miss Zhu like that?" Lu Jing Yu's round eyes looked at Pei Zhang Xi curiously.
Pei Zhang Xi raised his eyebrows. He felt that the woman he married yesterday was very strange. Other people's wives would desperately prevent their husbands from meeting and communicating with other women. But, from what his wife had done earlier, it was clearly the opposite thing.
"I know it's all my fault. I also know that if it wasn't for me, it would be Miss Zhu who would be Empress Rui and not me. But I don't think it's too late. We can still change that, right?"
Pei Zhang Xi further frowned not understanding. In his heart he had intended to have someone investigate what happened when he did not come to his bridal room last night. It's possible that his wife's head hit something so hard that it damaged some of his nerves that he acted so strangely all day.
Thinking if Pei Zhang Xi did not understand what he meant, lu Jing Yu hurriedly explained the details. But the more Lu Jing Yu explained, the darker Pei Zhang Xi's face became.
"Don't spout a lot of nonsense."
"???" Lu Jing Yu who still had a lot on her mind to say became even more confused.
"Didn't you like all my plans? You just calm down. I still have a lot of backup plans in my brain. I'm telling you, I have a pretty watered-down brain." Unknowingly, being too excited while explaining himself, lu Jing Yu had already placed her right hand comfortably wrapped around Pei Zhang Xi's sturdy shoulder even to the point of pulling the man's shoulder down due to the huge difference in their height.
The dark-faced Pei Zhang Xi immediately had a red face as he felt a chewy object that gently poked his arm. His eyes slowly descended and saw the place where the soft object was stuck on his body. His body temperature became increasingly hot and his face was getting red. This time, his entire face was visible until it was red from end to end.
"Your Majesty, are you sick? Why is your face so red?" Lu Jing Yu who from earlier watched Pei Zhang Xi's face did not realize that the change was due to his irresponsible actions.
Lu Jing Yu reached out her hand to examine her forehead but was immediately brushed aside. "Ehem. No. gabe. It's hot weather." After speaking, Pei Zhang Xi immediately turned around and ignored lu Jing Yu who felt increasingly strange.
"Hot?" Muzzled lu Jing Yu as she looked up. The sky is very bright at the moment. And the sun is shining brightly too. But no matter how bright and bright it was, it was still early enough to feel the scorching heat of the Sun.
Thinking about it deeply, Lu Jing Yu concluded that Pei Zhang Xi might have an overreaction to the heat of the sun.
Lu Jing Yu nodded in satisfaction after successfully coming to her conclusion. It could only be like that. There can be no other possibility. With a bright smile on his face, Lu Jing Yu immediately followed Pei Zhang Xi who had already walked far ahead of him quickly.
"Your Majesty wait!"
