Chapter 636: Do you dislike children or do you dislike me?
Nian Susu laughed dumbly, "It's not bad. He hasn't selected the concubine yet. I'm the only one in the palace now. It's boring, but I feel free by myself."
Xiao Yunzheng couldn't deny that she had heard a lot of intrigues in the harem. She couldn't help but wonder if Nian Susu would still be as cheerful as she is today if she were in such an environment.
……
The people in the city shouted General Xiao's name, and the noise was deafening. They were about to break through the blockade. The emperor's carriage turned around and drove back into the city. The crowd instantly quieted down for fear of offending the emperor.
The six-horse carriage drove away before the Xiao family's team entered the capital. Cheers were thunderous, like waves coming in circles.
The three members of the Xiao family did not take a carriage into the city, but led the team at the front and responded enthusiastically to the people.
-
Qin Junyu and Nian Susu did not return to the palace immediately. Instead, they got off the dragon sedan chair at Dongzhimen, changed to an ordinary horse-drawn carriage, went to Qin Junyu's private residence to change into casual clothes, and then went towards the direction of the prime minister's residence.
Nian Chengyun and Yang Yuerong were shocked, but they immediately understood why the two of them suddenly visited today.
The Xiao family's carriage had already entered the city at this time. They did not return to the palace, but turned around and went to the prime minister's residence.
Nian Susu did not go home for a long time. He held Yang Yuerong in his arms and refused to let go. They stayed for dinner before returning to the palace.
As night fell, a carriage stopped at Dongzhimen.
The guards were about to scold them when they saw that the people coming out of the carriage were the emperor and the empress. They were so scared that they knelt down and kowtowed.
Qin Junyu said nothing and walked in carrying the sleeping Nian Susu. No one dared to stop him until he had been gone for a long time. Then the guards dared to stand up. Everyone was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. They were glad that they did not say anything at that time, otherwise that might have become their last words.
Zhongling Palace.
Zhihua was guarding in the inner corridor, drowsy. Suddenly, a burst of firelight hit her face. She opened her eyes in a daze and saw Qin Junyu walking out from the light, holding Nian Nian Su Su.
She quickly stood up to open the door and stepped aside. Qin Junyu walked in and kicked the door shut.
The young eunuch holding the lantern walked down the stairs and looked at Zhi in bewilderment.
"You go back first. The emperor will stay in Zhongling Palace tonight." Zhihua was a perceptive person. After sending the little eunuch away, she retreated to the outer corridor to guard.
……
As soon as she returned to Zhongling Palace, Nian Susu woke up and found herself still in Qin Junyu's arms. Her saliva had wet the front of his shirt. She buried her head in embarrassment.
Qin Junyu put her on the bed, looked down and saw the two of them staring at each other. He sat down and covered her with the quilt.
"Still sleepy?"
Nian Susu nodded sleepily.
"Then go to sleep."
Nian Susu closed his eyes and fell asleep soon.
She didn’t know how long she slept, but Nian Susu dreamed that she was next to a stove with a very strong fire. She was handcuffed so that her whole body was hot and she felt she couldn’t breathe.
She woke up from her dream with her temples wet and sticking to her forehead. She was sweating from fear.
When she moved her arms, she found that she was surrounded by a pair of strong arms. The arm was pressing against her chest, and the person next to her had a body temperature as high as a furnace.
No wonder she had such a strange dream, it turned out not to be a dream...
"Qin Junyu..." She pushed him impatiently.
Qin Junyu slowly opened his eyes. There was no trace of sleepiness in his eyes, but they were clear and bright.
He loosened his grip a little, allowing Nian Susu to move. He lay on his side with his palms clasped under his head, and asked with a smile, "So you weren't asleep?"
Qin Junyu raised his head and looked at her leisurely, "I can't sleep."
"Why? You've been running around all day. Aren't you tired?"
She began to sleep in the carriage on the way back to the palace. It was now around Chou time. She had slept for more than two hours but still felt sleepy and tired. She was too lazy to move. Qin Junyu actually said that he was not sleepy?
He didn't say anything, just stared at her, and his clear eyes gradually became mixed with something else, which was very meaningful.
Nian Susu realized it later and turned over with a red face, facing away from him, pretending she knew nothing.
But Qin Junyu didn't intend to let her go. His hot hands roamed all over her body. At first, she didn't feel anything through the clothes, but when he saw that she didn't resist, he went even further, untied her belt and explored inside.
Wherever the warmth of his palm reached, she stiffened a little.
Qin Junyu was naughty and blew air behind her ear and said some words that made her blush.
Nian Susu was half-hearted, but he started to push his luck.
When both of them were infatuated, he suddenly froze. He didn't know what he was thinking of. He lifted the quilt to wrap her tightly. He lay flat on his back and moved outside. His voice was a little stiff: "Didn't you say you were very tired today? Go to bed early."
Nian Susu was furious. She was sleeping well, but he started teasing her and now he pushed her away to let her rest. What was this?
She sat up, her collar was torn loose and still messy.
She was about to scold him, but when she saw him shrinking into a corner with his back to her, he looked so pitiful that her heart softened. After calming down, she regained her sanity. Qin Junyu was not a person who gave up halfway. Could it be that... he had some unspeakable disease?
If this is true, it would be too hurtful to one's self-esteem.
"What... is wrong with you?" Nian Susu asked tentatively.
Qin Junyu did not respond. He crossed his arms across his chest, looking weak and pitiful. It seemed that he was angry, but Nian Susu asked himself that he had not caused any trouble today, nor had he offended him, so why was he angry?
"If you... have something to hide, I won't ask." After saying that, she pretended to lie down, but unexpectedly Qin Junyu suddenly sat up, looking furious, "I... what secrets do you have? What are you thinking!"
"I understand, I understand." Nian Susu acted as if he understood everything.
He was anxious.
Nian Susu just lay down, and he helped her up by holding her shoulders.
"It's not what you think."
She tilted her head, waiting for what to come.
Qin Junyu turned away and said aggrievedly: "I don't want you to drink that medicine again. It's not good for your health."
Nian Susu's heart skipped a beat.
How does he know?
When did he find out?
Could it be that the mysterious man who was invited to the Hundred Flowers Banquet that day discovered that she was taking contraceptive pills?
If this is the case, then everything makes sense. No wonder Qin Junyu has been so crazy recently.
He should be...very sad, right?
"I'm sorry." She lowered her head.
"Can you tell me why you don't want a child? Is it because you don't like children, or... you don't like me?" Qin Junyu finally asked the question that had been hidden in his mind for many days.
He was afraid to hear that answer, but after saying it he felt more relieved than ever before.
"I don't want children for two reasons. One is that I'm afraid of pain and death. What if I have a difficult birth and heavy bleeding? I don't want to die so early."
"Another reason is that we've only been married for less than a year, and I don't want another child to disturb our world of two. We still have a long time to live, and we're still young, right?"
