<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
Mingzhu couldn’t help but freeze. Jealous of what? What was there to be jealous of? What did she do? Since she married him, besides her close relatives, she even kept her distance from male dogs, let alone other men. The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, and she grabbed Yuwen Chu and wouldn’t let go, demanding, “Explain clearly, why are you jealous?”
Yuwen Chu regretted saying that as soon as he said it. At this moment, he wished he could take back what he said and eat it. How could he be willing to answer her? He immediately pretended not to have said anything, “What? What did I say?”
Mingzhu pulled him out of her hair, “You said you were jealous! Jealous of whom? What did I do? I’m at home all day, worrying about you from morning till night, I even have to report when I go out, oh, am I not suffering enough? Can you even be jealous of this? Is His Highness so petty?”
Yuwen Chu pretended to be confused to the end, “You heard it wrong, I said I haven’t eaten enough just now.”
She wasn’t so deaf that she could have misheard. Mingzhu stared at Yuwen Chu, trying to defeat him with her eyes, making him feel ashamed and confessing to himself. But Yuwen Chu was thicker-skinned than her. Without changing his expression, he said, “You heard it wrong. Why would I be jealous? Nonsense! Who is worthy of making me jealous? Haha!”
Well, he won.
Mingzhu rolled her eyes, carefully covered him with the quilt, and the tenderness in her eyes was like the clear water in spring, almost engulfing people.
Yuwen Chu gently stroked her cheek with his hand and whispered, “I want you to know that no matter how troubled we are now or how difficult it will be in the future, I don’t regret marrying you. All these things are my own choices. Don’t overthink it, don’t believe what others say, thinking that marrying you has brought so much trouble.”
Mingzhu couldn’t tell Yuwen Chu that she never thought like that at all. She originally planned to drag him into the water when she married him. How could she be so sentimental? But since he confessed to her, she had to accept it with gratitude. She was very touched, “Your Highness is still good to me. I’ve had many thoughts these days, I’m just afraid you would think like that, that I’m not good enough. Fortunately, Your Highness is not that kind of person. We can finally put our hanging hearts back in our stomachs.”
As Mingzhu spoke, she looked aggrieved, various complaints, and sorrowful expressions. Yuwen Chu solemnly scolded her, “You can’t even bear such trivial matters, what will you do when you encounter bigger things? I told you to trust me. If there’s anything to say, you agree with your mouth, but in reality? You keep everything to yourself, I warn you, if you ruin your health because of this or something, I won’t spare you.”
“Okay.” Mingzhu obediently listened to his scolding, seriously reflecting, “I was wrong, I won’t overthink things in the future.”
Yuwen Chu, finally satisfied, blew out the light, and ordered her, “Go to sleep!”
Because they both praised each other enough, both of them were very happy both physically and mentally.
The next night, because they had to wait for Jing Song’s news, Mingzhu went to bed early and told Yuwen Chu, “Your Highness must wake me up when the time comes!”
Yuwen Chu didn’t understand why she was so energetic, but he promised her anyway. At four in the morning, a towering fire broke out in the Linan Wang Mansion, illuminating half of the sky. Yuwen Chu woke Mingzhu up, “Get up and watch the excitement.”
Mingzhu, with her hair disheveled, casually picked up a fox fur to wrap herself in, walked to the window to watch the excitement, and asked Yuwen Chu, “If it’s really a secret chamber, the fire attack may not necessarily be effective. I don’t know if it can force them out. I hope we didn’t make a mistake.” Suddenly thinking of the Wusun Princess, she felt a bit reluctant, “She’s just a bit petty, and unfortunately married Yuwen You because of bad luck. I hope nothing happens to her.”
Yuwen Chu said, “She’ll be fine. Otherwise, how can we negotiate with the King of Wusun? Even if we can’t force them out, after the chaos caused by the fire attack, we can just throw explosives into the secret chamber and blow it up directly.”
Since that was the case, Mingzhu didn’t worry anymore. After watching the sky for a while, she heard a muffled noise, thinking that the explosives should have worked, and lost interest. She yawned, “I’d better go back to sleep.”
Yuwen Chu followed her back to bed, and Mingzhu asked strangely, “Your Highness, aren’t you waiting for Jing Song and the others to come back?” She thought that hunting down Jiang Shanshan was a very urgent matter, otherwise he wouldn’t be so anxious to take action. Why did he come to lie down with her?
Yuwen Chu looked at her contemptuously and said, “When they come back, they will naturally report. If I have to sit and wait foolishly when something happens, wouldn’t I be as foolish as you?”
Mingzhu was inexplicably scolded, feeling very unhappy, and firmly refused to let him sleep next to her. Yuwen Chu explained, “It means you’ve become a little silly since you became pregnant, not that you’re really silly.”
Anyway, it all ended up with him scolding her as being foolish.
Mingzhu couldn’t be bothered to deal with him, but suddenly felt a movement in her belly, like a string of bubbles popping up and disappearing suddenly. The feeling was quite peculiar, not like the usual sensation of intestinal movement. She dared not move, her whole body tensed, concentrating on feeling this strange sensation.
Seeing Mingzhu remained silent, Yuwen Chu thought she was still angry, so he tried to explain again, “I was just joking with you, it’s not…”
“Shh, don’t speak,” Mingzhu impatiently interrupted him, continuing to focus on trying to grasp that strange feeling. However, after that string of bubbles popped up, they never appeared again. She felt frustrated and blamed Yuwen Chu, “It’s all your fault, all your fault.”
Yuwen Chu became the aggrieved one, “What did I do?”
Mingzhu pointed to where she felt the movement just now, “He seemed to move just now! He was supposed to continue moving, but because of you scaring him with your words, he stopped.”
Yuwen Chu was at a loss. How did she know that he scared the baby? Well, fetal movement is always a good sign, indicating that the baby is healthy and strong. He let Mingzhu lie down flat, carefully pressed his ear against her belly, trying to hear something unusual.
Mingzhu pointed, “Here, it’s here.”
He patiently moved his ear over, waited for a while, but only heard some gurgling sounds. Subconsciously thinking it was fetal movement, he tensed up, joyfully saying, “Isn’t this it?”
Mingzhu embarrassedly said, “That’s just my stomach rumbling, not him moving.”
Yuwen Chu fell silent for a moment, then said, “I told you not to eat too much tofu for dinner, but you didn’t listen, now all I hear is your stomach rumbling.”
