Chapter 225 "I'll Wait for You"
The distance between them was getting closer and closer, their breaths intertwined, Shang Ruoyi closed her eyes as if possessed by a ghost, and applied a little force with her fingertips pressed against his body.
At this moment, Yunqi's voice rang out from outside the door: "Master, an urgent letter has been sent back from the Western Regions."
Their lips were millimeters apart.
The charming atmosphere was broken in an instant.
Shang Ruoyi suddenly opened her eyes and subconsciously pushed hard with both hands.
He Jingheng staggered back a step.
"What's wrong?" He Jingheng's voice was a little hoarse, and his tone was indescribably sexy and charming.
"Yun, Yunqi." She pointed in the direction of the door and said unnaturally, "Urgent letter."
"Let him wait." He just stretched out his hand and Shang Ruoyi dodged by turning sideways.
"I'm a little tired today, I'm going to rest first. Yunqi is still waiting for you." After saying that, she left He Jingheng there and left alone.
Yunqi was standing outside the door, and after a long time he heard no response from inside. He looked at the urgent letter in his hand, and was about to raise his hand to knock on the door again, when the next moment, the tightly closed door was instantly opened.
"Master, the situation in the Western Regions is urgent..." Before he finished speaking, an extremely cold gaze fell on him.
Yunqi’s back stiffened. Who had displeased the master?
Could it be that he had a quarrel with the Crown Prince’s Consort?
He was standing outside the door just now, how come he didn't hear any sound?
He Jingheng looked at him coldly: "If there is no major incident in the Western Region today, this prince will kill you."
Yunqi stood there blankly, his heart sinking to the bottom in an instant.
It’s over. It seems that I have ruined my master’s good thing.
He looked at the letter in his hand and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Now he could only hope that there was something extremely important in the letter, otherwise, he would definitely be skinned alive by his master today.
At this moment, he suddenly began to envy Yuntian who was still lying in bed recuperating from his injuries.
"What are you standing there for? Why don't you push me to the study?"
The two of them walked away, and a woman in a brown jacket looked at the yard and turned away.
When Zhao Xiyin returned to the room, Zhao Zhiwen and his wife were whispering together. When they saw her coming back, they hurriedly asked, "Where have you been?"
Zhao Xiyin sat on the earthen kang, and suddenly a very happy smile appeared on his face: "Dad, Mom, if I could really become that man's concubine, maybe you two could live more comfortably than the county magistrate and his wife."
When they heard this, their eyes lit up.
"My dear daughter, what do you mean by that?"
Zhao Xiyin narrated the scene he saw in Shang Ruoyi's courtyard verbatim.
The Zhao couple looked at each other and asked, "So?"
"So this is enough to show that the relationship between the couple is not good. He came out with a gloomy face in just a short while. What does it mean? Which man doesn't like a woman who is as gentle as water? As long as I use some tricks, I don't worry that he won't take the bait." When Zhao Xin thought of the man's appearance, a shy look flashed across his face.
"If I can snatch a baby, our good days will really come."
Upon hearing this, the Zhao couple nodded and agreed with Zhao Xinyin's plan.
"My daughter is right. Now in this place of exile, we can no longer rely on Zhao Zhili's family. If we don't want to suffer, we have to rely on this place." Zhao Zhiwen narrowed his eyes and said to Zhao Xiyin, "Daughter, is there anything I can do for you?"
"Mom and Dad, don't be anxious. We must find a perfect opportunity." She thought Shang Ruoyi was not someone who was easy to get along with. If her methods were too despicable, she would definitely find out. By then, let alone becoming a concubine, she might not even be able to eat a full meal.
Yunqi was spared a beating because something really happened in the Western Regions. The secret agents he had stationed in the Western Regions were eliminated one after another within a month, and he had to go to the Western Regions in person.
The morning he left, Shang Ruoyi was still sleeping.
He Jingheng walked to the bed, looked at her sleeping face, reached out to touch her face but was afraid of waking her up, so he sat beside her bed for a long time before getting up and leaving.
The door of the room was closed. Shang Ruoyi slowly opened her eyes and looked at the empty couch. She felt a little panicked.
She ran to the door barefoot, and the moment she opened it, a tall figure stood in front of her.
"You, you didn't..." Before she could finish her words, He Jingheng's breath suddenly approached and a coolness came on her lips.
Shang Ruoyi was stunned in the same place. She had not yet recovered from the chaos of just waking up: "Didn't you leave?"
He Jingheng lowered his eyes and looked at her bare feet. He frowned and took a step forward to hug her by the waist. He said with a little helplessness: "It's winter now, do you want to make yourself sick?"
Shang Ruoyi was awake at this time. She leaned her head against He Jingheng's chest, listening to the heartbeat coming from inside, and curled her lips slightly: "Today's heartbeat is faster than last night."
The helpless look in He Jingheng's eyes became even more intense. He knew that he, the Crown Prince's Consort, was not someone who would suffer any loss. He put her back on the bed, half-knelt on the ground, reached out and touched her cold soles, and whispered, "If you run out like this again, I will definitely punish you."
Shang Ruoyi pulled her foot back from his hand: "Didn't you leave? Why are you still at the door?"
He Jingheng looked at her steadily and suddenly smiled: "We have already walked out of the door. Suddenly I feel a little bit at a disadvantage for not giving you a kiss."
"You scoundrel." Shang Ruoyi kicked him on the shoulder. He Jingheng held her feet in his hands, his eyes filled with indescribable affection. He stroked her instep with his fingers and said in a hoarse voice, "Wait for me to come back."
At this moment, Yunqi was at the door and whispered, "Master, if you don't leave now, it will be dawn."
An unnatural look flashed across Shang Ruoyi's face. She tried to pull her foot back, but He Jingheng held it tightly. She reached out and pushed her shoulder: "Yunqi is waiting for you!"
His eyes darkened and he whispered, "I'm not going."
what?
Yunqi heard it all clearly outside the door. Not going?
How can I not go?
"Spring nights are short and the sun rises high. From now on, the king will not hold court early. Now I understand why the former Yu Fei was called a demon concubine." He Jingheng said, "I have seen the portrait of Yu Fei, but it is not even half as good as yours."
Shang Ruoyi's face flushed red, and she kicked him on the shoulder with her feet. The next moment, she broke free from his grasp: "What nonsense are you talking about? Be careful that someone hears it."
"I've heard it." He stood up, put his hands on the bed, looked at her intently, and raised his thin lips slightly: "Wait for me."
Shang Ruoyi suddenly smiled, put her arms around his shoulders, with a smile on her face, and said in a gentle tone: "I'll wait for you,"
The light in He Jingheng's eyes became even brighter. Just as he was about to bend down to kiss her, Shang Ruoyi pushed him away.
She opened the medicine box on the bedside, which contained several porcelain bottles.
