The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
91. Pei Zhang Xi's Childhood Story
Pei Zhang Xi's feet had already drowned as he reached the third floor of the tower. His hand that grasped Lu Jing Yu's hand involuntarily squeezed his wife's hand a little hard to the point of making Lu Jing Yu grimace in pain without daring to make a sound. The warm palm of the hand had also turned cold and was filled with sweat that drenched it.
On Pei Zhang Xi's white forehead were visible beads of sweat as large as green bean ore lined up. His face was tense as he looked back. Towards where was the last ladder he climbed before.
But before he managed to look back, Lu Jing Yu's warm hands patted the back of her hands. His head also shook his head and had a smile filled with confidence.
"Don't look back if it hurts. Just look ahead and see the beautiful scenery in plain sight." Said Lu Jing Yu staring at Pei Zhang XXi soothingly.
"You must have known I was afraid of heights, right?" Pei Zhang Xi no longer hid it. After all with Lu Jing Yu's intelligence, this wife would definitely be able to see it clearly. His face looks too. Traces of helplessness were visible on his handsome face.
"Fear of heights is not something to shame Your Majesty. Everyone has something they fear. That's normal." Lu Jing Yu's face still did not change. Still seem to believe. Not a single hint of it seemed that the face was degrading him. Making Pei Zhang Xi sigh.
"Didn't that show that I'm weak?"
"No. I told you being afraid of something is common. Have I never been afraid to trust my heart?" Lu Jing Yu smiled shyly as she recalled that their relationship was originally filled with fear and worry that left them tormented by each other. It was all because he was too timid to believe.
"Hem?"
"Yes. I was also afraid to confess my feelings to His Majesty back then. I'm concerned. Your Majesty knows for himself how His Majesty behaves to me right? Moreover, I have also made a grave mistake to His Majesty. I'm afraid His Majesty is just pretending and confessing His Majesty's feelings just to take revenge on me. I'm afraid I'm disappointed."
"So have you loved me for a long time?"
Lu Jing Yu's lips twitched. That's not the point. But after seeing Pei Zhang Xi's expectant face, he did not have the heart to clarify it to explain and would rather give in. "Yes. Otherwise why would I do such an embarrassing thing?"
Lu Jing Yu could be counted as not lying. Didn't the real Lu Jing Yu really like Pei Zhang Xi?
"But you are a woman. It is natural to have fear. But I'm..."
"Males are also human. Just like a girl. But if Your Majesty feels that this is a deficiency, Your Majesty can begin to erode that deficiency."
"No Yu'er. I was too scared. I wouldn't dare to do it."
"Overcoming fear must be from its roots. What makes His Majesty afraid of heights?"
"long story. It started when I was a kid." Pei Zhang Xi invited Lu Jing Yu to sit on the lounge chair on the third floor.
Little Pei Zhang Xi used to be an ordinary, cheerful little boy. Like a child pepper generally who likes to play, Pei Zhang Xi was even arguably wayward at the time. Moreover, with Concubine Su's attitude that was also cheerful and what was made Pei Zhang Xi grow almost like him. Naughty and a little pranky.
One day Pei Zhang Xi unbeknownst to anyone escapes out of the palace when he escapes from the watchful eyes of his nanny's maid. Little Pei Zhang Xi nimbly slipped away and ran away with his roar without any direction like a kite that slipped off its thread.
Inside the carriage, a beautiful young lady looked at Pei Zhang Xi with a happy gaze. He immediately hugged Pei Zhang Xi tightly. Little Pei Zhang Xi was extremely afraid of the young lady's attitude. She was crying too.
"Little handsome don't cry. Auntie has some good candy here. Do you want to?" Said the young lady while taking out some candy from inside her pouch.
Pei Zhang Xi was little like any other little boy who liked something as sweet as candy. But Consort Su always forbade her to eat too much. So he often went to see the Queen Mother to eat the candy secretly there. He immediately stopped crying and looked at the candy in the young woman's hand.
Pei Zhang Xi ate sweets without knowing that the carriage he was riding on had already gone a long way to reach the gate of the capital. The train stops for inspection.
"I know she's a crazy woman. When the train stopped, he took me down and took me up to the city tower. He said that the view was beautiful and invited me to go together. I followed him too." Pei Zhang Xi's story with a smile recalled his innocent childhood.
"Then? Is he going to bring you down?" Lu Jing Yu asked curiously.
"No. She's actually a good crazy young lady. He always held my hand at that moment. He takes care of you carefully."
"But why are you afraid of heights if there is no danger?"
"That's because we went up to the tower of a dangerous city. When the people saw me and the woman above, they immediately gathered and shouted. And that's what I saw when I got to the top. Many people were screaming and making feelings of distress. Not the beautiful sight that woman said."
"So because of that." Lu Jing Yu nodded her head.
"Yes. Until this moment he was every one of us I saw a tower like this I'll remember everywhere those people were screaming from below."
"I have an idea to dispel Your Majesty's fear."
"Yu'er, are you ashamed of having a husband who is afraid of heights?" Pei ZHANG Xi panicked. He was afraid that Lu Jing Yu was forcing him.
"Omong empty. What am I ashamed of? I have an open husband to climb in the tower continuously right? I just want to enjoy the beauty of this world with Your Majesty. If Your Majesty believes, follow my words." Lu Jing Yu clasped Pei Zhang Xi's hand to give her confidence.
