Tyrant's Consort Too Arrogant

His acupoints were not too heavy. When his wife woke up, it was only the break of dawn.

She slightly raised her hand, her whole body aching unbearably — she didn't think that there would really be such a thing as a acupoint in this world. She didn't have any memory of after fainting at all.

He surveyed his surroundings. Even though it was an elegant room, he was unfamiliar with it.

She struggled to get up, but her hands and feet were too weak. Finally, she hit the pillow on the bed, and there was a loud 'bang' that lingered in the air.

The pillow here was made of jade, so when it fell on the ground, it naturally made a lot of noise.

The sound was still echoing as the door was pushed open.

There was a screen separating the room's layout and the bed. The person who came didn't turn the screen, but stood outside, and asked in a quiet and elegant manner, "May I have it?"

On the white screen, there was a shadowy figure, looking extremely graceful and outstanding.

It was Pei Ruochen.

Her husband was stunned for a long time. After a moment of absent-mindedness, she suddenly remembered what happened last night. She could not help but ask, "Where is He Lan Xue?"

"The prince has already left for the night." Pei Ruochen replied softly, "You are currently in the Prime Minister's Estate. The Prince entrusted you to me before he left, and we are friends. You can stay here as long as you want. If you want, I can also send you back to the Yi Residence." Pausing for a moment, he added, "Linfei has sent people to ask, I wonder if you're willing to enter the palace with her?"

"He's gone." "He must have been lonely when he left," she said, as if she had heard nothing else.

Pei Ruochen did not say anything. In fact, when He Lan Xue was on her way, the entire imperial court did not send her off because they were afraid of arson. The only person who accompanied her was Pei Ruochen.

On the way back, Pei Ruochen stopped by Xiao Yao Royal Mansion, which used to be filled with flowers and flowers. The entire place was a mess, and all the valuables were taken away by the people below. Even the two little bronze lions at the entrance were gouged out.

It was at the end of the year, so when they saw such a scene, they couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation.

Pei Ruochen remembered her last conversation with He Lan Xue.

At that time, the north wind whistled and blew his hair, causing it to flutter in the wind. If that was the case, then the word 'rebellion' had nothing to do with it.

"Your Highness, since this matter does not concern you, why did you have to bear it?" At that time, Pei Ruochen asked.

"How do you know that this has nothing to do with me?" He Lan Xue asked.

Everyone knows that the Carefree King has ceased to exist for a long time, and — also, five years ago, the late Emperor intended to pass on the throne to his highness, who voluntarily gave it up. I would like to ask, a person who had given up the throne before, how could he have conspired and rebelled? Pei Ruochen stared into his eyes as she spoke each word.

"Since the entire imperial court knows about it, do you think that His Majesty doesn't know? I just did what he wanted to see. "

After she finished speaking, He Lan Xue continued on her way, leaving Pei Ruochen standing in her original spot. She pondered for a long time before her entire body turned cold.

At this moment, when she heard her lover ask about He Lan Xue's situation, Pei Ruochen became lost in thought for a while and then replied, "No, Your Highness is not alone. You are wise. In fact, it was originally a matter of luck that he left at this time. "

He could already see the strange changes in the palace, but the water was so deep that even Pei Ruochen, who was in the center of power, could not see through it.

Her lover was even more clueless.

The only thing she knew was that He Lanxue had said that he was willing to do everything.

As long as he was willing, then no matter what, it wouldn't be unbearable.

Relieved, she lifted the covers and looked for her shoes.

However, after searching for a long time, she was unable to find the shoes. Just as she was about to call Eleven, she suddenly remembered that Eleven had already disappeared from the palace.

"Your shoes." Pei Ruochen seemed to have thought of something as she finally turned around from behind the screen. Carrying a new pair of shoes in her hand, she approached him. He squatted down and placed the shoes beside her feet. Then, he stood up and took a step back.

She looked down at her shoes and lost the desire to get up. "Can you find eleven?" she asked sullenly.

Since she was born into this world, her friendship with everyone was not deep. Although He Lan Xue had raised her, and she liked Pei Ruochen, those two people had never really spent more than a month with her. On the contrary, it was the eleventh. They faced each other day and night, giving her a blow, bickering with her, and truly caring for her.

Now that the palace had fallen, it was unknown where the eleventh prince had gone to.

Eleven? Pei Ruochen thought for a while before recalling the girl that she had seen often, "I'll send someone out to look for her today. Don't worry, she's already in the capital."

"Right." The woman nodded and awkwardly put on her new shoes. They were just the right size, just the right size.

Just like it was custom-made.

She didn't think much about it. She just sat on the edge of the bed and looked up at Pei Ruochen. Pei Ruochen today was no different from Pei Ruochen yesterday. Her face was like a painting, and her expression was elegant and calm.

There was also a softness at the bottom of his heart, but it had turned into jelly.

"You said I could go home?" After a while, she seemed to recall something and asked.

No matter what, she still had some feelings for the Yi Mansion. What's more, he was still a member of the Yi family.

It wasn't too much to go back to your parents' home occasionally.

"You want to go back to Yi Mansion?" Pei Ruochen retorted.

The woman nodded.

Pei Ruochen hesitated for a long time before replying honestly, "Actually, after the incident with your highness, Master Yi had already announced to the public that he had broken off all ties with you … Sorry, I thought you would choose to stay, so …" Therefore, she carelessly gave her three choices. She only wanted to tell her that there were still a lot of places she could go, and she wasn't homeless.

But what about the facts?

The truth was that she had nowhere else to go, except for Pei Ruochen.

Initially, he was just a trivial figure with no secrets, no history, no value, and no room for appreciation. On the contrary, he was full of troubles. Who would accept such a person?

They weren't even beauties.

Her lover listened, thought, and understood, but his expression was normal. There was no hint of sadness or sorrow in his tone.

While the two of them were silent, two maidservants carrying a tray of tea passed by the window. One of them said, "The Lord Prime Minister is asking about the princess' body. It seems that the Lord Prime Minister is in a hurry to carry his grandson."

The other said: "I heard that Prince Consort has not been cured of his injuries. Since his marriage, he has never been in the same room with the princess. Moreover, even if the prince consort were to meet the princess, he would have to report it to the mama first, and get the mama's consent before he can go to bed with her.

The girl who spoke first laughed crisply, "But Prince Consort Ma is extremely elegant. I wonder what his appearance will be when he becomes father."

"True …" I wonder which room is the girl that Prince Consort has brought back? The princess said that she wanted to go and see her, but the prince refused to let her go. "

"Prince Consort won't allow it? "Don't tell me they really …"

The sound became softer and softer. Soon, there was another wave of laughter and the sound of footsteps faded away. Soon, there was no more sound.

Pei Ruochen's expression was calm, as if she did not hear the words being spoken from the corner of her mouth.

Her lover sat on the edge of the bed as if he had not heard her, gently swinging his legs.

After the people outside the window had left, Pei Ruochen continued, "The Prime Minister's Estate usually doesn't have many people visiting. Father is busy with politics, and rarely returns to the Residence. You can continue living the life you want here."

Her lover should have been very happy to hear these words, but it was strange that she did not feel happy at all.

Previously, she had only wanted to live a life of peace and inaction, but that life, she only hoped, would be hers, not someone else's charity.

In the past, she could feel at peace with herself at the Carefree Palace, but here at the Prime Minister's Estate, she always felt as if she were living in a guest house.

"..." I'm looking for Eleven. " After throwing down those words, she finally stood up from the bed and walked out without a care in the world.

Pei Ruochen was slightly shocked as she stared at her lover's back. In the end, she didn't chase after him.

He just stood in the room with his hands behind his back, looking at a painting of mountains and rivers hanging on the wall as if he was looking at a masterpiece.

After a while, a guard dressed in a grey tight suit rushed in. When he saw Pei Ruochen, he immediately dropped to one knee and said, "Young master, Miss Yi has already left the Prime Minister's Residence. Should we chase her back?"

"No need." Pei Ruochen finally shifted her gaze away from the painting and said faintly, "Follow her, don't let her find out."

"Then, if she encounters danger, should I reveal myself?" the man asked cautiously.

"You have to protect her well." Pei Ruochen asked an irrelevant question, and the man immediately understood her and bowed before retreating.

After the guards had left, Pei Ruochen suddenly took out a painting scroll and unfurled it. It was a drawing that was drawn by her in ink. The drawing depicted the handsome and beautiful young man with a blind eye.

The brush in the painting was exquisite and the style was unique. Even the grey light in the eyes were vividly painted, as if this person was standing right in front of him.

Pei Ruochen stared at the painting for a long time. Her clear and elegant glass-like eyes were as deep as ink — an expression that her lover had never seen before.

"Could it be that the thing you are looking for, is also this thing?"

Pei Ruochen mumbled in a low voice in her study room.

When she left the Prime Minister's Residence, she raised her head and looked at the bright winter sun shining in the sky.

She didn't know where she was going yet. In this world, there was finally no place she could stay.

Yesterday, He Lan Chun said that he sent He Lan Xue to the north of the city, but the world was vast, so where was the north of the city?

She looked down at her new shoes, took a deep breath, and took a step forward.

From today onwards, she would no longer be able to eat and sleep everyday, waiting for time to pass. From now on, he would eat three meals a day and worry about everything else wherever he slept.

But isn't this life?

His wife, on the other hand, was at peace with him. Under the bright sunlight, her grief gradually dissipated, and her steps became steadier and steadier.
