Chapter 201 Cannon Fodder Wife (23)
"Sui Sui, you're awake!"
In just one afternoon, Lin Shuwei's voice became hoarse, as if he hadn't used it properly for months, and it hurt people's ears.
He was almost crying with joy, and the tears he had been holding back suddenly fell like a tide. This person who had always been steady and self-controlled cried miserably and pitifully.
The big hand tightly grasped Sui Yu's palm. Lin Shuwei's eyes pierced through the hazy cover, staring at her intently, fearing that something would go wrong again.
Sui Yu's heart was softened. She raised her hand and touched his face, which had grown blue stubble in just half a day, feeling distressed.
Her eyes swept over the other two men standing by, who were also anxious and haggard, and Sui Yu felt guilty and regretful.
Is she...pretending too much?
Especially, while pretending, she actually fell asleep due to motion sickness, which resulted in her not reporting to Lin Shuwei and others in time.
It seems...the situation has become a little serious.
Sui Yu touched the newly grown stubble on the side of Lin Shuwei's face with her fingertips, which prickled her finger a little. "I'm fine. I don't feel uncomfortable at all now."
Shen Yanting could tell that Sui Yu was telling the truth. He frowned and even saw a hint of guilt in her expression.
If you think about it a little, you can understand that with Sui Yu's sinister nature, how could she let herself fall into such a state, or even send someone to be beaten by the old woman.
Therefore, apart from being worried and confused at the beginning, he roughly guessed something after hearing Doctor Liu's pulse diagnosis, and was not as anxious as Lin Shuyi and the others.
When it was evening, Lin Shuyi still wanted to stay here, but he suddenly stumbled and almost fell.
"Okay, I'll stay with Yaoyao tonight, you two go back and rest."
"Change tomorrow."
Knowing that she was worried without someone by her side, Sui Yu didn't say anything about not wanting someone to accompany her.
only......
"Sui Yaoyao, you've really grown up. Now you're pretending to be unconscious and not even saying hello to me, right?"
Shen Yanting put his arm around Sui Yu's waist and gently placed it on top. Although he didn't dare to use force, his aura was cold and it was obvious that he was suppressing his anger.
Sui Yu's body stiffened, and she smiled at him ingratiatingly, pretending to be obedient. "I was brought into the palace by the nanny today. The carriage was moving too fast all the way, and I feel dizzy."
"I even vomited all over Mammy."
As she spoke, Sui Yu's cunningness could no longer be hidden. Her eyes were bright and flashing with light, and she was waiting obediently for Shen Yanting to praise her.
If Shen Yanting could remain indifferent seeing her like this, he would not be called Shen Yanting.
Suddenly leaning over, Shen Yanting smoothed down her half-fallen hair and held her lips, his slowness completely inconsistent with his character.
"Be more affectionate." Sui Yu was dissatisfied, and then someone patted the plump part below her waist.
Shen Yanting's voice came out from the gap between his lips and tongue, "I'm pregnant. I don't dare to provoke me again. Don't provoke me."
Now it was Sui Yu's turn to be dissatisfied.
"But I want it now more than ever." He asked with great confidence, and his look of asking for it was not at all reserved like he was in front of Lin Shuyi and the others.
Shen Yanting sighed deeply, but he still couldn't persuade her. He half-raised himself, staring at her eyebrows for a while before slowly falling down.
Even then, he was still staring at her.
A more tender and gentle force than before...
When the gong sounded to announce the third watch, Sui Yu's body softened and the man held her in his arms, patting her gently to soothe her to sleep.
The hazy moonlight poured down like water, hiding all the warmth, solemnity, and anxiety within the high-tiled red walls.
The next morning, it was still dark.
Shen Yanting opened his eyes and gently moved Sui Yu's slender hands away from him.
Before leaving, he weighed his wrist and frowned, thinking about what excuse he could use to coax Sui Yu into taking those supplements.
When I walked out the door, Di Chen and Lin Shuwei were already waiting outside.
Staying in the palace last night saved me the trouble of getting up early.
Inside the Golden Palace, the scene was as bloody and violent as expected.
"Your Majesty, please don't do this. There is no precedent in our dynasty for abolishing the etiquette of the Empress Dowager!" The old minister advised with tears in his eyes.
Di Chen watched coldly, "Then let's set this precedent."
"Just because of a woman, the relationship between the Empress Dowager and you as mother and son has been damaged..." A young official stepped forward cautiously and was hit in the face by a chopping board.
Lin Shuwei's hands were empty, and he scolded calmly, "The lady you are talking about is my wife!"
"If the Queen Mother punishes someone, there must be a reason..." someone continued to argue.
Emperor Chen sat on the dragon throne and watched as officials from the Queen Mother's faction jumped out one after another. Suddenly, he asked the man in the front, "What do you think, Prime Minister?"
Fu Wenlin's whole body shuddered, and the lip beneath his white beard twitched for a moment. He finally lowered his voice and said, "The Queen Mother's action is indeed inappropriate."
"Since Prime Minister Fu thinks so, then sentence the Empress Dowager... no, Fu to death." Di Chen's voice was emotionless.
Fu Wenlin suddenly looked up, his voice filled with anxiety that was inconsistent with his previous calm expression. "She's just a noblewoman, even if she hasn't woken up yet, but in any case, isn't it a bit too much to ask the Empress Dowager to pay with her life?"
"Then what crime, in your opinion, would be so great as to require the Empress Dowager to pay with her life?"
Fu Wenlin froze, a bad feeling invading his heart, but the gaze of Emperor Chen above him was too sharp, so he could not help but answer.
"Plotting to murder a member of the royal family, disobeying the emperor..."
The corner of Emperor Chen's lips curled up, "Prime Minister Fu is breaking the law. It seems that he has been coveting the throne for a long time."
Fu Wenlin's expression of fear was even more intense than before. He knelt down straight, and all the ministers below also knelt down because of this sentence.
"I don't dare."
"How could Prime Minister Fu not dare? You are so bold as to collude with the Fu family to slander the Cheng family for treason and seek the position of Crown Prince."
Fu Wenlin's body suddenly went limp and he knelt in the hall, looking at his sister who was brought in, his heart dead.
..........
Di Chen walked on the avenue of the imperial palace, the sunlight shining on his face, as if it could warm even such a gloomy man as him.
I strode into the room and saw Sui Yu rinsing her mouth.
Before Sui Yu could react, she was suddenly embraced in a hot embrace, so close that she could clearly hear his violent heartbeat like a drum.
The palace maids serving nearby had retreated at some point, and Lin Shuwei and the other two did not follow them in. They were the only two left in the room.
"Yaoyao, I don't know if I'm happy. Can I...can I take you to the imperial mausoleum?"
"Meet my mother."
Di Chen's jumping thoughts always catch Sui Yu off guard.
"Now?"
"Now."
"But we haven't told my husband and the others yet..."
The unfinished words were interrupted by a crisp "bo" sound. Di Chen lowered his eyebrows and looked so pitiful.
"Yaoyao, can I be your husband today?"
