Chapter 302 I Want You to Be the Queen
Fei Wan lay there quietly, breathing weakly, looking extremely fragile.
It's like a bubble that will burst with the slightest touch.
So Xiao Yu's hand was very light.
As light as caressing the reflection of the moon on the water.
The room was quiet.
The smoke from the agarwood fragrance curls up.
After a long while, Fei Wan seemed to have recovered some strength and said faintly, "Xiang Yi, you should go and rest too. You've suffered in prison. It's my fault that you've been implicated."
Xiao Yu sighed silently.
She didn't know he was coming and mistook him for a maid.
The kind and gentle Zhao Qing has always been so good to the palace ladies.
Who has she treated badly?
Even Yu Tingjin, who had tortured and bullied her in the past, she did not retaliate. She only verbally sought justice for the Yu family, who were indifferent to her, when she visited her family. Now, she was still worried about her family's concerns about her injuries.
Yu Sujin openly suggested that she be sent to the palace for trial.
Even he was suspicious of Yu Sujin's intentions.
Zhao Qing, however, taught Yu Sujin to continue to uphold justice and consider the king.
Xiao Yu sighed silently and long.
After more than twenty years of ups and downs in life, he climbed to the pinnacle of power step by step from a prince to an emperor. He held the world in his hands and was rich, but many times he felt that he had nothing.
Except for my mother when I was young.
And several loyal servants who had been dead for a long time.
Zhaoqing was the first person who treated him so well.
Even those loyal ministers and generals believed only in loyalty and righteousness, but Zhao Qing...
It is him who believes.
"Zhao Qing."
The emperor called out silently.
In order not to disturb Fei Wan's rest, he sat quietly beside her and accompanied her without saying a word.
After sitting for a while, I felt tired. After all, I had been busy with work for days and had also experienced Zhishu's miscarriage. Suddenly, when I sat down and had some free time, fatigue came over me.
So he lay on the edge of the bed, resting his head on his arms.
I fell asleep unconsciously.
Fei Wan was a little surprised when she heard the long and even breathing beside her.
The emperor's gentle touch was within her expectations, but his falling asleep was unexpected.
She knew that he was secretly planning something important, which consumed his energy, so she sent Chen Cairen, Yu Sujin and others to accompany him to satisfy his need to relax and consolidate his favor.
But no matter how tired he is, he is not someone who can fall asleep anytime and anywhere.
This only means one thing -
She got even closer to the emperor.
He had more trust in her and was emotionally dependent on her, so he could relax, let go of his fatigue, and sleep peacefully beside her.
Fei Wan was satisfied with her progress.
After tossing and turning for a long time, he was very tired, so he listened to the emperor's even breathing and fell asleep.
When I woke up again, the lights in the hall were already on.
I was awakened by the strong smell of medicine in my nose.
She opened her eyes slightly and saw the black medicinal soup in the white-glazed bowl painted with green lychees. She said sleepily, "It smells bitter. I don't want to drink it."
A gentle male voice sounded above her head, "Drink this. This is medicine to help you heal. I'll feed you."
Fei Wan opened her eyes wide and looked up, surprised and anxious: "When did His Majesty come?"
Then he stood up and saluted.
Xiao Yu held her shoulder and said, "Don't move. Be careful not to pull the wound."
"But Your Majesty..."
"The rules don't matter, you matter."
Fei Wan's eyes were filled with tears. "How could Your Majesty say such words for me?"
She thanked him, lay down obediently, and accepted the medicine from the emperor.
He half-knelt beside the bed, feeding her spoonful by spoonful, very attentively. Years of archery training gave him a steady hand, and not a single drop spilled.
Fei Wan's tears dripped into the bowl, and she sobbed with a heavy nasal voice.
"How could I have deserved such care from Your Majesty? I am so ashamed..."
"you're worth it."
Xiao Yu handed the empty medicine bowl to Xiang Yi who was delivering the medicine, and took a candied apricot from the plate in her hand and fed it to Fei Wan.
"Holding this in your mouth will lessen the bitterness."
Fei Wan thanked him and asked Xiang Yi what time it was.
"Your Highness, it's midnight (around 23 PM), and you're sound asleep. If it weren't for the time to take your medicine, I wouldn't dare disturb you."
He continued, "Your Majesty has been here for most of the day, and I have been trying not to wake you up. Just now, Your Majesty took a nap on the edge of the bed."
Fei Wan was shocked.
Look at the emperor.
Then, the eyes that had just controlled their tears were covered with a layer of mist again.
With red eyes, she apologized: "Your Majesty, I am rude..."
Xiao Yu took the handkerchief handed to him by Xiang Yi and wiped Fei Wan's tears with his own hands.
She joked gently, "Don't cry, or your eyes will swell up and become ugly."
Fei Wan sniffed: "If I become ugly, will you still be so kind to me?"
Unexpectedly, the emperor did not answer but asked, "If I were not the king, would you still be kind to me?"
Fei Wan was stunned for a moment.
Said: "No."
The smile on Xiao Yu's lips froze.
Xiangyi was listening nearby and wasn't worried at all.
If she had been worried about her master in the past, now she just knew that the queen would definitely try to control His Majesty again.
As expected, I saw my own queen swallow the candied fruit, coughed weakly twice, and said softly and tiredly:
"If Your Majesty were not the King, I would not have been sent to sleep with you."
"It is the greatest blessing in my life to have the opportunity to serve the man who moved my heart the first time I saw him."
"If Your Majesty were not the King, how could you have rescued me from Concubine Chun's clutches?"
"Perhaps, I would have died in torture long ago, and there would be no chance for me to be with my beloved day and night."
"It's good that you are the king."
After saying that, he coughed a few more times.
Xiao Yu was already moved by what he heard.
Xiangyi didn't need to step forward. She pulled the quilt directly, draped it over her back, and used water to moisten her throat.
"Stop talking and conserve your energy."
He dismissed Xiangyi and went straight to the bed, lying next to Feiwan and putting his arms around her.
"Your Majesty, are you not going back to Chenqian Palace?"
"I am right here."
Fei Wan was moved and leaned her head against his shoulder, rubbing her ears against his, and whispered coquettishly: "You haven't told me yet, if I become ugly, will you still treat me well?"
"Even if you are extremely ugly, I will still treat you the same as before."
Only ghosts believe you.
Fei Wan called out "Your Majesty" in an extremely gentle manner.
She softly requested, "I only hope that Your Majesty can treat Sister Ying as before, treat Concubine Hui as before, as well as Concubine Yue, Concubine Qing, Sister Wu, and all the sisters in the palace... It would be best if we could stay together for a long time."
Xiao Yu sighed.
"Wanwan, you are so kind."
"It would be wonderful if you were my queen."
Fei Wan quickly opened her hazy eyes, "Your Majesty, why do you say that?"
"I want you to be the queen."
The emperor and Fei Wan were standing head to head, their noses almost touching.
His breath had the clear scent of oranges.
This man's eyes are extremely deep and beautiful.
Fei Wan was dazzled for a moment.
If you can foolishly believe him, it might be a beautiful dream.
It's a pity that she is so clear-headed.
I can't even sink for a moment.
"Your Majesty, I do not wish to be the Queen. I only wish to be your wife, like ordinary couples, growing old together and loving each other forever."
