The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
78. Pei Zhang Xi Yang Always Returns Late
Lu Jing Yu held a bowl of olive oil that she had given rose oil over her thighs. Xuan Yuan had just walked out of his room after reporting that Pei Zhang Xi was going to be late home due to a new assignment from the emperor. He looked at the bowl while breathing.
"The Empress, Your Majesty won't be home soon today, the Empress will rather be sleeping early."
"Hem. Help me prepare my bath water."
"Good Empress."
The welcoming business that seems simple turns out to have a lot of things to be prepared. Starting from the invitation of notification for all ministers to come at the time of welcoming. Any gifts that will be given. Also welcome entertainment. There are still people who must also be kept in order to maintain order during the reception. For that, it takes the recruitment of troops to maintain security.
To prepare everything, it takes at least a week. Especially to provide time to prepare for the team of dancers who will perform. Also prepare the troops regarding the form of arrangements.
Pei Zhang Xi returned to King Rui's residence after a late night with a tired body. As he walked into the room, Lu Jing Yu was already sleeping uneasily. Pei Zhang Xi was guilty. He understood that Lu Jing Yu would not be able to sleep quietly if not with him. And he's the one who made it that way. So seeing Lu Jing Yu who couldn't sleep quietly made her guilty because she couldn't keep him company. He climbed onto the bed and immediately pulled Lu Jing Yu's body. Comfort for his wife.
"His Majesty is back?" Lu Jing Yu who felt a warm embrace of Pei Zhang Xi woke up.
"Hem. Still late. Go back to sleep." Pei Zhang Xi stroked Lu Jing Yu's head as he further tightened his embrace. Lu Jing Yu felt the warmth she was waiting for and immediately closed her eyes back.
In the morning when Lu Jing Yu opened her eyes again in the day, the bed beside her was already empty. When he touched it, it was cold. Did he just hallucinate that Pei Zhang Xi came back last night?
But he was absolutely certain that the one who hugged him last night was Pei Zhang Xi from the scent and touch he was very familiar with.
"Xiao Bei." Xiao Bei who was waiting outside immediately entered.
"The Queen is awake? His Majesty came back late last night. And early in the morning His Majesty has also departed. His Majesty advised not to wake the Empress, so we waited outside."
"Where did His Majesty go?"
"Your Majesty went to the city gate to make preparations there."
"Hem. Help me prepare some food to send to His Majesty."
"Good Empress."

Setting up Wei Qian Nian was also one that Pei Zhang Xi had to do. Since Pei Zhang Xi couldn't possibly do it himself, he asked Hundred Zhu for help to recruit some servants who would help him.
Wei Qian Nian received a different treatment three days before the reception. These servants were so capable even though they all did so with no expression and respect for him. For him it was fine as long as they did not harm him or intentionally Defy him like Meng Ran.
In response to the different treatment from the servants it was that made Wei Qian Nian again fly through the clouds. He became increasingly impatient to get married and get into the drama of General Wang's residence and become a mistress there.
This was the last limit of Lu Jing Yu's patience wanting to be by Pei Zhang Xi's side. This time he couldn't bear to not cry out. Looking at Pei Zhang Xi who was busy getting things done every day, Lu Jing Yu felt ill. Did the Emperor deliberately teach him a lesson for disobedience?
The more he thought about it the more sensitive Lu Jing Yu felt the more he grieved. She only wanted to have her husband just for her even though she was currently unable to convince herself of what feelings she had for Pei Zhang Xi. But if he thought of Pei Zhang Xi along with the other women already made him unable to bear it.
This evening Pei Zhang Xi came home. And got a report that Lu Jing Yu was currently crying inside their room. Xiao Bei and Chu Fei were unable to make him stop crying. Aunt Wu's persuasion didn't work for her either.
"Am I wrong if I don't want my husband to have another wife? Why did the Emperor punish him?" Said Lu Jing Yu on the sidelines of her sobs.
"The Empress calm yourself down. Please don't cry anymore." Aunt Wu frantically persuaded. It had been a long time since Lu Jing Yu no longer vomited. But healer Xue said that in this gestational age is still quite vulnerable. So everyone was wanted to always keep the conditions around Lu Jing Yu to remain conducive.
"Pity of His Majesty. I can't even see it when I'm going to sleep. When I sleep I can't either. I had to go so far just to see my husband. Why does everyone want to separate a husband and wife like us. Hiks hyks." Lu Jing Yu bowed her body on the table. Putting his head there and crying as unwillingly as a child who had just scolded his mother for secretly eating the candy and the candy was finally taken away from him.
Pei Zhang Xi heard everything Lu Jing Yu said with a happy feeling. When Chu Fei who first saw Pei's arrival Zhang Xi wanted to immediately tell her his arrival but was immediately signaled that he would shut up and gave her a gesture to bring Aunt Wu and xiao Bei out of the room chamber.
The three people consciously walked back quietly. They closed the door behind them. Lu Jing Yu was completely unaware that the person behind her was already different and still continued to babble.
"Missed me hm?" Pei Zhang Xi lowered his head and hugged Lu Jing Yu from behind. Gently rubbed his stomach.
"Go! Why do I always feel like His Majesty is here?" Lu Jing Yu shouted without looking back. Too often he felt that Pei Zhang Xi was by his side when it was just his hallucination. So right now he still thinks that it's the same. Just his shadow.
"Because I'm here." Pei Zhang Xi furrowed his brows in confusion. Then he realized that Lu Jing Yu might think of it as an illusion. So he bit off Lu Jing Yu's ear lobe. He made his wife scream in shock and look at him immediately.
"This is Your Majesty's original?" Lu Jing Yu was in disbelief and started patting Pei Zhang Xi on the cheek.
"Yes. It's me." It's me."
"Huhuhoo... " The unexpected thing that pei Zhang Xi had happened, Lu Jing Yu bumped into him and cried in his arms.
