Spoiled Wife

The fact that King Xian came and went soundlessly made Shen Qi feel that this was just a dream. She had a dream of a prince returning from a soft couch, so real and so illusory.    

At this moment, no matter how much she tried, she couldn't calm down. The prince had actually come back! What a surprising piece of news!    

At the same time, he couldn't help but frown as he thought of something. Something must have happened in the Guanbei, and this family's matter was extremely serious. Shen Qi was still a little unclear, what exactly happened that caused King Duan to drop the battle front line and return back to the capital?    

She didn't think that the prince had deliberately come back to accompany her for the new year. She didn't doubt his sincerity, but she knew that Prince Xian valued rules and regulations very much. If he asked others to do this, of course he wouldn't make such a mistake.    

She thought she wouldn't be able to sleep at the moment, but after thinking for a while, she immediately fell asleep. She thought she wouldn't be able to sleep at the moment, but after thinking for a while, she directly fell asleep.    

When King Xian returned, he found that the princess had fallen asleep on the soft couch. Fortunately, she knew how to cover himself with a blanket, so he couldn't help but frown and shake his head.    

He stepped forward to lift her up and put her on the bed, but Shen Qi woke up in a moment. When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was King Duanren who was carrying him, so he immediately relaxed. The voice was so soft that it sounded like it came from a dream.    

"Go to bed." At this time, King Xian also couldn't bear to reprimand her. During this period of time, she must have been straining her nerves, so she couldn't help but feel her heart ache. "Didn't I tell you not to wait for me?" Why did you fall asleep here? "    

"I thought I was dreaming." Shen Qi said with a smile.    

With these words, Duanren Emperor paused in his actions for a moment, then casually placed her on the bed and lowered his head to look at her seriously. "I won't in the future."    

This kind of headless sentence, both of them knew what it meant. In the future, they won't make you worry about it anymore, this is a promise from King Duanren. Shen Qi finally broke into a smile with an indescribable sweetness as she reached out to hug his neck. "I miss you very much."    

When King Duanren heard her words, he felt his entire body brimming with energy. Wangfei usually didn't speak any sticky words, not even on the bed. But now that she had said them out loud, how could he not be pleasantly surprised?    

However, he continued to stare at Shen Qi, not letting go. His dark and gloomy eyes seemed to want to suck in a person and Shen Qi knew that he did not mind, hence she just smiled at him.    

"Does Your Highness miss me?" she asked with a smile.    

In the past, Shen Qi would never do this, he thought that if he did not say it, she would let him go, but for some reason, Shen Qi was exceptionally abnormal today, and asked him again, "Does the prince miss me?" It was even more serious than last time.    

King Xian looked at her as if she was determined to get the final result. Suddenly, he felt a little confused. So, what if it was an imperial concubine?    

He couldn't lie. He thought of her, so how could he miss her? He wanted to see her smile at him, see her handle things indifferently. He wanted to take her with him at all times and listen to her casual conversation about the capital.    

Even if you didn't say anything, you wouldn't feel uncomfortable being by her side. She had a type of magic that made people feel especially relaxed when they were by her side.    

After meeting him and not talking, Shen Qi released the arms that were holding him and relaxed his body on the bed. He said casually and lazily: "It seems like the Duke does not want me at all, so today you can go to the study room."    

King Xian suddenly looked at her and discovered that her expression was serious. At this moment, he finally understood why Royal Concubine was acting abnormally. She was angry. She must be angry!    

"Why are you angry?" He didn't quite understand. Since he knew that the wangfei was supporting him, then that meant she understood him. Then why was she so angry at him?    

Shen Qi laughed at himself, hoping that he would understand? "What do you think?" she asked with a smile.    

felt that it would be better not to keep it up with him. The Duke wouldn't understand such a profound thing like this, so he decided to be more direct in order to not anger himself to death.    

"Your highness really can't find someone to report back?" Shen Qi asked seriously, what would the people in her family think if they knew that he did not receive any news on the battlefield? If Shen Qi didn't believe him, he really couldn't send someone back to inform her.    

During this period of suffering, Shen Qi could still hold on even if she did not see him, but when she saw his blank expression, she suddenly felt a little wronged. She was afraid for him in the capital, so she had to suffer every day, and when she could not sleep well every night, once she forced herself to sleep, she would start having nightmares.    

What about him? He had his own arrangements, but he didn't care if she was afraid or worried because she couldn't get news of him. She had so many people in her hands and the guards of the Bright Guard were all extraordinary, yet she couldn't find a single person to pass the information on to without making any sound?    

King Duan fell silent when he heard this. Of course, he could find someone to pass on his message, but he felt that he had to return. He felt that it was better to not send anyone back, but he ignored the fact that the wangfei wouldn't worry about him if she didn't receive his message.    

He was used to following his own rules. This was how he handled the things that happened in the past, and it was never inappropriate. This time, he acted the same as before and forgot that there was still a princess who didn't know about his situation. She would be scared because of his loss of information.    

"This King has neglected this." If it was wrong, then it was wrong. He directly admitted his mistake and looked at her solemnly as he promised, "There won't be a next time!"    

Shen Qi nodded her head in satisfaction, then became completely relaxed, "These few days I have been very tired, I will go to sleep first, you can also go wash up and sleep now." Then she laid down on the bed and instantly fell asleep before King Duanren could even react.    

She actually fell asleep! She fell asleep! King Xian looked at her speechlessly. Didn't Xiao Mo say that a divorce was better than a new marriage? Where is This King's bridal ceremony?    

He wanted to wake her up and look at her exhausted face, but he didn't have the heart to. After looking at her for a while, he simply turned around and quietly left. It was about time for him to properly wash up and sleep.    

The bathroom was already prepared with hot water, so Duke Tai came back silently. He didn't want to alarm too many people, and Shen Qi only let a few guards of the King's Mansion know, that they were absolutely loyal to the Duke, so they weren't afraid that it would leak out.    

It had taken a lot of effort for King Qinguang to conceal his whereabouts, so he was really tired now. After washing his face and rinsing his mouth, he directly went to bed. Lying on the bed, looking at that familiar sleeping face, he immediately felt his heart filling up.    

He carefully lifted her into his arms. Her soft body, the delicate and familiar fragrance, everything was so real. It was in this environment that King Duanren was able to sleep soundly.    

The moment Shen Qi woke up, she realized that she was being tightly hugged by a warm body. She was unable to react in time, and only when she opened her eyes and saw the sleeping prince beside him did she react to the fact that the duke had returned yesterday.    

He must be exhausted, if not he would have known every time he woke up. However, today was the first day of the new year, so it was not the time for him to sleep in, thus Shen Qi lightly shook his arm.    

King Duan opened his eyes and looked at her before looking at the sky. He pulled her into his embrace. "It's still early. Sleep a little longer."    

Shen Qi:... Why did she start acting shamelessly after returning from a trip out?    

After lying down with him for a while, she still got up and got dressed. These days were not suitable for sleeping in. There were still a lot of matters to be taken care of, and she still had to go to the palace to pay her New Year respects.    

Because Duke Xian was returning to the capital in secret, he did not need to accompany Shen Qi, but he actually had many things to take care of. This time, before he went, he discovered that the Guanbei's actions were strange and as expected, the results of his investigations revealed traces of the King Rui.    

He didn't know what kind of agreement they had reached, but in short, the barbarians were approaching in full force, and they looked as if they were going to get their hands on him. So he had to come back and discuss a solution with the emperor.    

When he destroyed King Rui's lair in Jiangnan earlier, King Rui must have been wishing he could eat his flesh and drink his blood. The reason he was able to find out so quickly this time was because King Rui did not try to cover up his connection with him.    

However, he was not stupid, and did not reveal the specifics. It was because of this that he felt uneasy, Consort De had always been ruthless, and the son that she raised was not inferior in any way.    

It had always been the principle of the Consort De to use any means necessary to achieve his goals. If not, then at that time, there would not have been so many people favoring them. Some were willing to do so due to the generous conditions promised by the Consort De, but there was still a large portion of them that were coerced by the Consort De, especially the eunuchs and maids in the palace.    

Those who were able to enter the palace as eunuchs were all extremely poor. Some of them even had no parents, so this kind of person would always take advantage of them. As rootless people, they had lost all interest in anything except money. They were afraid of being poor because they wanted to leave a way out for themselves.    

As for the palace maids, they were able to grasp their weaknesses to threaten them. In a place like this where there was much trouble in the palace, who had clean hands?    

There was also a group of people who were trying to capture the threats made by her family, which were the ones that valued kinship.    

No matter what, in this aspect, the Consort De was still considered to be someone who understood people and was kind to them. Back then, the most favored prince in the King Rui had had many people willing to stand on his side.    

King Rui had always felt that the throne would belong to him sooner or later. So what if the crown prince was sitting on his position, he still couldn't do anything to them. He was just one step away, yet he was already one step away!
