Seeing my body shrinking from the cold, one arm gently held me in his arms. I could hear his strong heartbeat clearly as I pressed against his chest.
"Are you angry?"
After a while, he asked. He seemed to have been thinking about these four simple words for a long time before he could say them so calmly.
I remained silent, and he hugged me tightly and sighed deeply.
"On the one hand, I hope you will be angry, which will make me feel that you care. On the other hand, I am afraid that you will be angry, and I can't bear to see you sad. Isn't it very contradictory?"
He asked a bit self-deprecatingly, so self-deprecating that it made me feel that the person in front of me was not the Yelv Zihan I knew.
"Is something wrong with Yan Li?"
After asking, I wanted to bite off my tongue. Why don’t I open the pot and pick up the pot? I really don’t know how to chat...
"She's fine, her old problem is gone. But..."
"But what?"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to find the other two medicines in the near future. Are you willing to stay with me and be my true concubine, woman?"
"Have you got the 'Bodhi Seed'?"
"He Wang has never failed to give him anything he promised."
"This is also true. If possible, I hope you can send someone to help Jiao Ziqiao find the person she likes. Now she has no one, and we all need to be responsible."
Maybe without us, Jiao Ziqiao's end would be even worse than it is now, but we are the catalyst after all. If we do something, our conscience will feel better.
"I have already sent people to look for him."
Yeluzihan let out a long sigh.
"You didn't give me your answer after all."
Of course I knew what he was referring to, and I was so confused.
"I don't know either. After getting to know you, I have to think about many questions that I have never thought about. I just want to ask, can you trust me?"
Yeluzihan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Anle, you are the first woman who dares to talk to me."
"You didn't give me your answer either."
"I promise you that no matter whether your master-servant contract is there or not, I will leave you unscathed. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
I thought about it seriously, and it seemed to be a good deal, so I nodded happily and agreed, and all my previous unhappiness was gone.
The next day Yelu Zihan arranged a palace for me. After all, it was not a problem to live in the same palace with him all the time.
He named the palace "Xiaoyao Palace" so that I could always be happy and carefree.
"Xiaoyao Hall" is very close to Jiao Ziqiao's palace, which makes it easier for us to visit when we have nothing to do. Yelu Zihan also has good intentions.
On this day, Jiao Ziqiao and I were admiring flowers, eating melon seeds, and talking about mountains in the imperial garden. We heard rustling footsteps in the distance. Jiao Ziqiao and I followed the sound and saw seven or eight palace ladies hurriedly heading towards the West Palace.
Run away.
Jiao Ziqiao sneered.
"Needless to say, it was that woman who faked her death again. I have only lived in this palace for four or five days, and she almost died four or five times, but she never died.
If there had been such a concubine in my harem back then, I would have given her a glass of poisonous wine or a piece of white silk long ago so that she could have a good time."
"You have such a venomous tongue."
In fact, I think so in my heart, but don't people say it on TV? Women just have to be more generous.
Otherwise, everything will go wrong, and then I will really push my man to other women, so I can only listen to others scold me.
