Chapter 181 Misunderstanding
Jing Ruzhang frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. He slowly lowered his head and looked down at her profile.
She pursed her lips, looked up at the bright moon half hidden behind the branches, her eyes flashing with a light he could not understand.
The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile, and she spoke calmly.
"Three hundred and eighty-four thousand four hundred kilometers, or seven hundred and sixty-eight thousand eight hundred miles. I think... that's about the distance between us."
Jing Ruzhang looked dazed for a moment and didn't quite understand what she said.
He frowned and thought deeply, thinking that he was calm and steady, and always decisive in killing.
Just one sentence from her made him feel panicky. She was clearly right in front of him, but he felt like he was going to lose her.
He felt a dull pain in his heart, and subconsciously tightened the ring and rested his chin on her neck.
He said in a deep voice: "What are you talking about?"
His face was pressed against her hair, and her body was bound in his arms, unable to struggle or move.
She then leaned obediently in his arms, still holding him with her brows lowered.
Glancing back from the corner of her eye, she wasn't sure how to tell him the whole story.
The incident was so bizarre that she herself found it hard to believe, let alone tell others about it.
Subconsciously, she glanced down at the red string on her wrist, wondering in her mind how to explain it so that he would understand.
After careful consideration, she finally chose to express herself in a way that he could understand.
"Your Majesty, please listen to me. Actually, the matter is very simple, but also a little complicated. Simply put, we come from different worlds."
She tilted her head slightly to see his expression. He raised one eyebrow and looked at her with a dazed look.
As if to say, are you kidding me?
Shen Yueyao's breathing stagnated, and she frowned as she explained patiently.
"Our worldviews are different. For example, when it comes to marriage, in my world, a man can only marry one woman. A woman has the right to choose the man she likes to date or marry. In simple terms, everyone is equal. Do you... understand what I mean?"
Jing Ruzhang pondered her words carefully and actually tasted a hint of sweetness. His heart felt as if it was soaked in honey and he suddenly smiled to himself.
There was a soft light swaying in her eyes, which looked very beautiful under the breeze and bright moon.
After all, she still has him in her heart.
Whispered in her ear.
"Are you...blaming me for having too many women around me? Are you jealous?"
"..."
? !
Jealous!
He seems to be a smart guy, how come...
She sighed inwardly, why is it getting worse and worse?
This man dares to think so and is jealous.
She was about to explain, but she heard him speak seriously.
"The Queen has told me that you once suggested to her that concubines of low rank and without favor should be released when they reach the age of maturity. I think this suggestion is very good. So I agreed to the Queen's request."
He paused and said again.
"You...don't worry, I..."
Shen Yueyao was afraid that he would say something shocking again, so she interrupted him.
"We won't get any results. I will go back sooner or later."
Her voice was slightly cold, cooling the warmth he had just felt, and there was only coldness in her eyes.
He pinched her waist and turned her around to face him, watching her eyes holding the storm that was about to come.
Shen Yueyao subconsciously wanted to hide backwards, but he grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms.
There was a hint of stubbornness in his tone, and he spoke through gritted teeth.
"Shen Yueyao, I just want to be with you, even if it's just a dream."
There was darkness in his eyes, and she was a little afraid of him. This fear was different from the previous fear, and it brought with it some indescribable emotions.
He held her in his arms. Shen Yueyao was a little at a loss. She rarely showed such emotions. She felt a little helpless.
Before Shen Yueyao could come to her senses, she heard some rustling outside the window.
It turned out that the wind was blowing outside, and the tree branches were rustling against the window, bringing a slight coolness.
She shuddered suddenly and shook her shoulders. Jing Ruzhang seemed to sense something, let go of her and whispered.
"Go over there."
That night, Shen Yueyao thought for a long time. When he fell asleep, she turned sideways and propped up her head to look at him carefully.
The white jade-like profile was reflected in the dim candlelight, as if covered with a layer of light mist, like a dream, with cold and thin lips, a steep nose bridge, and jade-like elegance and grace.
She admitted that at some moments when she forgot her identity, she was moved.
If not for anything else, just for face, not to mention that some words do sound nice coming from this mouth that always speaks golden words.
Unfortunately, although the sweet words sounded nice, they were not enough to make her lose her mind and fall in love with him without hesitation.
At this moment, she hated herself for not being a love-brained person.
She sighed for herself, what a pity...
The current plot has completely exceeded her expectations. Sometimes she even wonders if she is the villain cannon fodder who is making a comeback.
It’s ridiculous to think about it. She came here inexplicably and gave birth to a child for the male protagonist.
She raised her slender white wrist and rubbed the red rope with her fingertips.
She frowned slightly, remembering the old monk's words that everything is predestined.
She has never figured out what her fate is?
Maybe it triggers a certain plot, or something else.
She thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so she lay down again until her consciousness was invaded by sleepiness.
She stayed in Zelu Palace for nearly a month, during which time the Queen Mother gave her constant rewards.
Of course, it was not only because she blocked the sword for the emperor, but also because of her little grandson.
The Queen Mother came to Zelu Palace almost every day, under the pretext of visiting Concubine Chen's health. She would stay there for half a day, holding Shi Mian in her arms and refusing to let go.
The Queen Mother teased Shi Mian and laughed.
"This child looks exactly like the emperor when he was a child."
Shen Yueyao leaned on the couch, her smile frozen on her face.
"The emperor has a good foundation. The child looks like him. That's great, great."
These eyes clearly look like hers.
The Queen Mother held Shi Mian's little hand and smiled kindly.
"Zhengyao, how about you stay with your grandmother in Shou'an Palace for a few days? Your mother needs to rest, and I'm afraid she won't have the time to take care of you."
Shen Yueyao frowned tightly. How could she agree to this?
She has been acting like a good girl and smiling every day for a while, and she has lost a lot of weight due to exhaustion.
She lowered her head and raised her hands to rub her stiff cheeks.
He put on his tiring professional smile again and practiced Tai Chi with the Queen Mother.
"Thank you for your consideration, Queen Mother. Shi Mian is still young and cannot leave his mother."
"Shi Mian?" the Queen Mother asked doubtfully.
