stern wife

Chapter 883 Suspicion gives birth to dark ghosts

Pei Xiaoran slowly walked into the inner room with the medicine bowl in his hand.

Inside the curtain hung by golden hooks, Zhu Lianxi was lying on the wide dragon bed, his eyes were slightly closed, and his breathing was steady and long.

Pei Xiaoran put the tray on the small table beside the bed, and called softly:
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty? Your Majesty, it's time to get up and drink your medicine."

However, Zhu Lianxi continued to sleep deeply, her face paler than before, almost transparent.

Every year in winter, it is when his body is weakest, and it has been like this since he was a child.

Pei Xiaoran sighed softly, and was about to step forward and slap him awake.

But a memorial fell from Zhu Lianxi's hand.

With a crash, the memorial was spread out on the ground, and the contents on it clearly caught Pei Xiaoran's eyes.

Pei Xiaoran's expression froze.

No one else, because this is just a book that speaks ill of her.

As mentioned above, although her "forced palace" a few days ago was fake, it was true that she had too much power in her hands.

In order to prevent the fake show from being played out, this person implored the Holy One to weaken Pei Xiaoran's power so as to consolidate the imperial power.

The corners of Pei Xiaoran's lips curled up slightly, revealing a bit of sarcasm.

She didn't even look at who presented it, but just picked it up, sorted it out, and put it back on the small table next to it as if nothing had happened.

At this moment, Zhu Lianxi opened his eyes, and saw the booklet in Pei Xiaoran's hand at a glance.

Zhu Lianxi's expression was unnatural for a moment.

Looking up but seeing Pei Xiaoran's expression as usual, he was a little relieved and said:

"You're back? How's your father doing?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, everything is fine with Father."

Pei Xiaoran brought the medicine bowl to Zhu Lianxi's eyes, and said in a gentle voice:

"Father also said that His Majesty's health is not very good every winter, let me ask His Majesty to take good care of your body!"

Zhu Lianxi nodded, took the medicine bowl, and drank the medicine juice in one gulp.

Pei Xiaoran took out his handkerchief and handed it to him to wipe his mouth, then continued with a smile:
"By the way, Your Majesty, Xiaoran thinks... the battle with Xuanwu is over, and the border has been peaceful for many years since then.

After all these years of running around, Xiao Ran also felt tired.

So... Xiaoran thought, from now on, just be a queen empress with peace of mind.

As for the others... Your Majesty, please ask someone else to take over, Xiao Ran is very grateful. "

Zhu Lianxi stopped wiping the corners of her mouth.

He couldn't hear the emotion and said:

"That note...you still saw it."

Pei Xiaoran shook his head and said:

"It's not that Xiaoran intended to see it.

And... what was said in the brochure did make sense.

It just so happens that Xiaoran also has this intention, what does His Majesty think? "

Zhu Lianxi said in a low voice:

"I didn't mean to disbelieve you..."

Pei Xiaoran smiled and said:

"Your Majesty don't need to think too much, Xiaoran really just feels tired and wants to take a rest.

In this way, it can also block those long-winded conversations and save His Majesty many unnecessary troubles. "

Zhu Lianxi looked at Pei Xiaoran's bright and free and easy smile.

Her eyes are clear, without a trace of haze.

Like a star, those of them who are full of jealousy and suspicion feel ashamed.

Yes, in this life, Zhu Lianxi absolutely believed in Pei Xiaoran.

but……

Ever since he told her the truth about Pei Xiaoran's death in his previous life, Zhu Lianxi suddenly felt that he didn't trust Pei Xiaoran so much.

After all, anyone who heard that her husband was the real culprit who killed her in the previous life would feel jealous, right?
Anyway, a person like Zhu Lianxi is determined not to let the person who killed him go.

Those who want to harm themselves will not do.

Even... Those who may harm themselves, they will not let go easily.

Moreover, what happened in this life was very different from the previous one.

Things are different, can people still be the same?

So, after all, even Zhu Lianxi still became suspicious of Pei Xiaoran.

Looking at Zhu Lianxi who suddenly fell silent, Pei Xiaoran's voice became more and more gentle, and said:
"Your Majesty don't need to be in trouble, Xiao Ran will never blame His Majesty."

Zhu Lianxi gritted her teeth.

However, in the end, he still said:

"Then... as you wish.

It's good to take a break... You've worked hard all these years. "

Pei Xiaoran saluted and said:
"Thank you Lord Ron."

Then, holding a tray and an empty bowl, he said to Zhu Lianxi:
"Your Majesty, rest well, Xiao Ran will take his leave first."

Before Zhu Lianxi could say anything else, she turned around and left gracefully.

Looking at her going back, Zhu Lianxi's eyes became more and more complicated.

He knew he shouldn't doubt, especially her.

In his last life, because of this suspicion, he had wronged and killed her once.

Could it be that in this life...will he repeat the same mistakes?
Zhu Lianxi didn't want to, really didn't want to.

But once the seeds of doubt are planted, they are hard to remove.

In his heart, he secretly assured the back that was getting further and further away:
He will not wrong her again, nor will he listen to anyone's slander to hurt her.

but……

The power in her hands cannot be left behind.

He didn't want to cause a rift between the two of them again because of this.

Zhu Lianxi closed her eyes and let out a deep breath.

The turbid air in the chest was not discharged, but became heavier and more suffocating.

And he didn't see the mockery and sneer on Pei Xiaoran's face that could not be concealed after he turned around.

Sure enough, the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.

He kept saying that he already knew her loyalty to him and Suzaku, and he would never doubt her again.

On the one hand, she still took back the real power in her hands.

Being a watch and setting up a memorial archway, aren't you tired of pretending?

Two reincarnations and the death of a whole family can't be exchanged for a trust...

Thinking about it, it's really chilling.

If he was a wise king, Pei Xiaoran might still save his life for the sake of the people of Suzaku.

However, keeping such a loyal and indiscriminate king like Zhu Lianxi is only a disaster.

On the second day, the news that Pei Xiaoran voluntarily abdicated and handed over the military power to Zhu Lianxi spread throughout Erzhijing like the wind.

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and they all felt that Pei Xiaoran should have been forced, and they also had some criticisms about the new emperor.

"His father, the Supreme Emperor, has a lot of trust in our little general Pei. How come he doesn't trust us because little general Pei has become his wife?"

"Men are fickle.

Now that the fighting is over, Little General Pei is useless.

I heard that the new emperor's harem has a new lover, so I don't want my 'old love' to hinder me from having fun..."

"Such a confused monarch, it seems that our future life will be difficult..."

Not only the common people secretly expressed their dissatisfaction with Zhu Lianxi's actions, but even the camp where Pei Xiaoran stayed had responded.
