Chapter 240 Heart-to-heart talk
Suge.
Rong Su gently lifted Shen Peiqing's clothes, revealing the shocking bruise on his back. Her eyes instantly turned red and tears silently slid down, dripping onto the wound, as if even the pain was tinged with salt and bitterness.
Shen Peiqing felt her tears and sighed softly: "It's just a minor wound. It didn't hit the vital part."
But he changed the subject, his tone was a little bit malicious, and he said with a smile: "But I am very happy that you shed tears for me."
She applied the ointment carefully, her fingers trembling. Every touch made Shen Peiqing frown slightly, but he gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Hearing Shen Peiqing's words, she choked up while applying the medicine: "You are still joking like this! You are so reckless and don't care about your own life! If you do this again next time, I will..."
The words were cut off in tears, and the eyes full of blame were filled with heartache and helplessness.
Shen Peiqing could hear her distress and felt sorry for her. He turned around, reached out, gently held her hand, and looked up at her.
"So what?"
Rong Su lowered her head and looked into his black eyes, which were like the starlight in the night sky, deep and flickering.
"I will ignore you no more!" She was so angry and really scared. She had just found out that he was still alive and her heart had not yet calmed down when she encountered such a thing.
When Shen Peiqing heard her say this, he couldn't help but hold her hand tightly and said dissatisfiedly: "No! I won't allow you to ignore me."
The latter sentence revealed a bit of grievance and uneasiness.
She could hear that Rong Su glanced at him, then looked away and focused her attention on his wound.
"Let go of my hand, I want to apply medicine on you."
Shen Peiqing was as stubborn as a bull, looking at her stubbornly: "Promise me, you can't ignore me."
Seeing him acting like a little child, Rong Su couldn't help laughing, but in this situation, she couldn't laugh and could only glance at him.
She compromised and said in a cold voice, "I'll just ignore you."
Shen Peiqing was a little satisfied now. He let go of her hand and looked at her with a smile: "As long as you pay attention to me, I will listen to you no matter what."
This guy forgot who she was so quickly and just kept saying that she was his debtor. What a fool.
Rong Su shook her head helplessly and said unhappily, "Turn around."
This time, he obediently listened to her and turned around.
"Why did you disguise yourself as Liu Gong but didn't recognize me? Are you blaming me?" Originally, Rong Su didn't have the courage to ask this question, but she didn't want to let herself have this knot in her heart forever.
Shen Peiqing lowered his eyes, and his eyes became much more lonely and gloomy, but his back was facing Rong Su, so she couldn't see.
After a long while, he slowly spoke: "I woke up a month ago."
A month ago, Rong Su's fingers trembled slightly as she applied ointment to him, and she felt uncomfortable and guilty.
"You must hate me very much." She smiled bitterly. This was the definite answer. Who could accept being betrayed by the person they loved?
Shen Peiqing shook his head. He turned to face her, his eyes firm. "No, I don't hate you. On the contrary, I'm wondering if it was because I neglected to pay attention to you that Shen Fengyu took advantage of the opportunity and attacked you."
During the countless days and nights that Rong Su was awake, she had imagined countless possibilities, but she never thought that Shen Peiqing did not hate her.
Her eyes felt sore again and tears fell uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Shen Peiqing raised her hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingers. She smiled lightly and said, "I'm sorry. I must have made you sad by what I said just now. I said those irritating words because you actually agreed to be Shen Fengyu's queen. I was very angry. If you want to scold me, scold me as much as you can, even hit me."
Rong Su pursed her lips, tears streaming down her face. Her voice was hoarse and choked with sobs, "Are you a fool? You let me hit you like this, you bastard!"
Seeing Rong Su crying, Shen Peiqing began to panic. He hurriedly went to find a handkerchief and wiped her tears.
"Yes, yes, I am an asshole. Stop crying, Xiaosu. I am really jealous of Shen Fengyu. He actually dared to ask you to be his queen, even though you agreed to it first. And what I am not convinced of is that Shen Fengyu has been able to stay by your side for the past six months and has eaten lunch with you for a full six months."
Hearing him say such resentful words, Rong Su couldn't cry, but instead felt a little amused.
"What's in your head? Why are you thinking about these things?" Her voice was a little tearful, and she looked at Shen Peiqing and asked speechlessly.
Shen Peiqing held her hands and said with a gentle look, "No matter what you do to me, I will accept it willingly. So I won't hate you. I won't blame you either. Don't feel guilty or ashamed."
But the more he did this, the more guilty Rong Su felt, because she really owed him a lot.
"If you really want to make it up to me, then be my wife forever." Shen Peiqing was very good at observing people's expressions. He looked at her with a sly smile and expressed what was in his mind.
Rong Su rolled her eyes at him, turned away, and snorted, "Heal your wound first."
When Shen Peiqing heard this, his eyes lit up slightly and he said with a smile, "Okay."
Both of them seemed to feel that the so-called barrier between them had disappeared, and what remained was only the joy of seeing the moon after the clouds had cleared.
At this time, someone knocked on the door outside.
"master."
It's the sound of stone.
Shen Peiqing's cheerful smile slowly turned back into a calm and composed expression. He said calmly, "Come in."
Shi Tou pushed the door open and came in, looking a little serious.
"Master, Shen Fengyu's body is missing."
As soon as these words were spoken, Shen Peiqing and Rong Su frowned at the same time and looked at each other.
Shen Peiqing said to Shitou, "The person who took Shen Fengyu away can't get far. Send someone to search quickly!"
Stone nodded: "Yes!"
-
Everything that happened at the Queen's coronation ceremony that day brought about tremendous changes in the entire Beizhou.
Shen Fengyu is dead and his body is missing.
Xiao Yilin was seriously injured and was being held in Beizhou Prison, awaiting trial.
Originally, Shen Peiqing's reappearance in front of the people and court officials of Beizhou in this form was actually like a traitor.
But that very night he summoned all the court officials of Beizhou to the Beizhou Council Hall and threw Shen Xuan's imperial edict of succession in front of them.
At that moment, all the court officials who had objections fell silent.
Compared to such a violent and cruel Shen Fengyu being the emperor of Beizhou, the people of Beizhou would rather have Shen Peiqing do it.
After all, when Shen Peiqing was still the prince of Beizhou, at least his reputation was not bad, except that his personality was a bit cold.
In addition, when Shen Peiqing issued the Beizhou decree, Rong Su also stood up to support him as the Tianfeng girl.
Therefore, although it seemed that the Beizhou Palace had undergone a baptism of wind and rain, this baptism did not make the people of Beizhou feel dissatisfied.
On the contrary, the people of Beizhou breathed a sigh of relief invisibly, because during the past six months that Shen Fengyu had ruled Beizhou, the people had long been complaining about the heavy taxes and frequent foreign wars.
Now, this kind of government has ended, and the people are still happy to see it.
Furthermore, there was a small group of people who were dissatisfied, and they were actually Shen Fengyu and Xiao Yilin's people behind the scenes. They had all been dealt with secretly by Shen Peiqing.
This was done with the help of Xuanyuan You.
At that time, Rong Su was still a little surprised, because after she woke up, she heard that Xuanyuan You had disappeared and Dongzhou had completely become a vassal state of Beizhou.
"Ayu was rescued. I think you can't guess who rescued her." Shen Peiqing looked at her with a smile, picked up a piece of taro cake and put it in her bowl.
Rong Su took a look at the taro cake, picked it up and tasted it, and couldn't help but squint her eyes, because the taro cake was not salty or greasy, and had a faint taste of shrimp, salty and fragrant, very refreshing.
She ate the taro cake and then asked in confusion, "Who saved me?"
Shen Peiqing's words caught her attention. In fact, she was also curious about who knew about Shen Fengyu's plan in advance and sent people to rescue Xuanyuan You.
Shen Peiqing saw that her cheeks were bulging from eating so much and her mouth was covered with oil. He curled his lips, took out a handkerchief, stood up, walked over, sat next to her, and stretched out his hand. When Rong Su saw him coming over with the handkerchief in his hand, she understood his actions.
Then, she cooperated with him consciously and put her mouth close to him.
Seeing her cute and natural behavior of dependence, Shen Peiqing felt even better. He took a handkerchief and gently wiped the oil from the corners of her mouth.
"Shen Ying. It was Shen Ying who sent Xu Jian to rescue Ayou." Shen Peiqing put down his handkerchief when he saw that he had almost finished wiping, but his eyes kept staring at her moist and plump lips for a long time.
Rong Su could also sense it, and quickly pursed her lips to hide her shyness, looked away, and said, "It turned out to be Shen Ying."
If it was Shen Ying, then it wouldn't be surprising.
Originally, Shen Fengyu and Shen Ying were in the same group, but after that incident, Shen Ying seemed to have changed a little. Although she didn't understand why he changed, at least one thing was certain, that is, he seemed to have stood on her side.
However, one thing I don’t understand is, doesn’t Xu Jian hate Shen Ying because of Xu Cao’s matter?
But why did Shen Ying ask Xu Jian to save Xuanyuan You, and he still agreed? Was it because Xuanyuan You was the emperor of Dongzhou?
But that shouldn't be the case. Xu Jian doesn't seem like the kind of person who cares about the world. As an assassin, he should only care about his own interests.
Maybe when I see him next time, I can ask him why he didn't take revenge on Shen Ying in the end.
"Okay. Now I just want to know when you planned this?" Rong Su put down the chopsticks in her hand, folded her hands on the table, then turned her head and looked directly at Shen Peiqing, trying to find a trace of emotion that could be seen through from his handsome and cold face.
Shen Peiqing looked at her and saw that she was really curious about this matter. He couldn't help but smile slightly, stretched out his hand to her, and gently touched her hair with his fingers.
"The moment I woke up, I asked Xiao Hei and the others about everything that had happened, including everything that had happened to you during the days I was unconscious."
Rong Su looked at his black eyes that were filled with a gentle light, like the brightest stars in the night, deep and bright.
"I've already moved into Shen Fengyu's harem, and I stabbed you back then, so why don't you hate me?"
When Rong Su asked these questions, she was nervous and tentative. Her hands unconsciously clutched the corners of her clothes, and her eyes were fixed on Shen Peiqing's face, afraid to miss any subtle changes in his expression.
Shen Peiqing smiled softly upon hearing this. That smile was like the warm sunshine on a spring day, instantly dispelling the chill in Rong Su's heart. He spoke slowly, his voice low and magnetic:
"How could I bear to hate you? That knife didn't hit any vital parts, and you had no choice. I know that. I said I wouldn't blame you."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gently stroked Rong Su's cheek. The warmth from his fingertips melted Rong Su's heart instantly.
That's why Rong Su thought that the man in front of her was a big fool.
It was obvious that she had hurt him, no matter whether it was out of necessity or not.
"Although the knife didn't hit your vital parts, it was definitely a serious injury. How did you get cured?" Rong Su really wanted to know the pain he had experienced. If possible, she would also like to go through it for him. It was all her fault.
Shen Peiqing saw that she had fallen into self-blame, and could not help but sigh. He gently put his arm around her shoulders, holding her in his arms, and said softly:
"It was Gu Yun who helped me. After I was seriously injured, Gu Yun somehow found out about it and actually rushed to Dongzhou within two days. He then spent three days and three nights treating me without sleep. Only then was I able to slowly recover in my coma."
He said it so calmly, but Rong Su could imagine that the situation must have been very urgent, otherwise Gu Yun would not have spent three days and three nights to treat him.
Guilt, self-blame, sadness and heartache surged in her heart. Rong Su had been holding back her tears for a long time, but they finally overflowed from her eyes. She looked at Shen Peiqing and apologized sincerely.
"Aqing, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. It's my fault."
Seeing her eyes filled with tears, Shen Peiqing sighed helplessly, hugged her gently, and comforted her softly: "It's okay. It's all over. I've been going through a bad time, but you haven't been doing well either, have you? You've been immersed in unconsciousness for the past six months, letting Shen Fengyu manipulate you. Your pain is beyond my imagination. In this respect, we are even. Don't feel that you owe me much anymore."
As he spoke, he raised his hands, cupped her face, and said with eyes full of heartache: "What I said that day was all said in anger, not sincerely. I never thought that you owed me anything. Really."
Shen Peiqing looked sincere, even afraid that she wouldn't believe him, so he raised three fingers: "If you don't believe me, then I swear here, if I say even a single word of falsehood, I will be immediately beaten by the five horses..."
"No!" Rong Su knew that he was going to say something bad, so she quickly reached out and covered his mouth, looking at him seriously and angrily.
"You can't say such things! If you say it again, I will never forgive you!" She widened her eyes and stared at Shen Peiqing angrily.
Realizing that she was really angry, Shen Peiqing immediately became obedient and said in a soft and flattering tone, "Okay. I won't say it. If you let me say it, I'll say it later."
Rong Su glared at him. How could she let him say such a thing? She had already endured the nightmare of losing him once and could not go through it again, otherwise she would not know what she would become.
