"Thank you."
After Wen Fuyue put on the coat, she gathered her wits and whispered to Wei Sinian.
Wei Sinian slowed down his steps, turned his head to glance at Wen Fuyue, and sneered, "Isn't the noble consort very capable? She doesn't even put the emperor in her eyes. How come she was plotted against this time and almost lost her life?"
"I was just..." going to the toilet.
Wait! Wen Fuyue's face changed when she thought of this. Looking at the irony and meaningfulness on Wei Sinian's face, she thought for a moment, and the next second, her eyes widened in shock.
How could it be such a coincidence that she had a stomachache? Was she drugged by someone?
Wen Fuyue originally thought it was because of her poor digestion. She really didn't expect that someone would dare to drug her. No wonder the stomachache disappeared after a while.
Thinking of the food she ate at the banquet tonight, Wen Fuyue closed her mouth guiltily and lowered her head silently under Wei Sinian's angry gaze.
[I'm sorry. I really didn't expect that someone would drug me. As a result, I ran directly to a remote place and almost died. Sigh!]
Seeing the fear on Wen Fuyue's face and her evasive eyes, Wei Sinian was even more enraged.
Hearing Wen Fuyue's inner thoughts, he tightened his fist, and the pain of his nails digging into his flesh came from his palm.
Good! The Empress Dowager actually dared to target Wen Fuyue right under his nose! And this fool, Wen Fuyue, actually walked right into the trap! If it weren't for An Ling'er's defection, she...
Seeing that Wei Sinian in front of her seemed to fall into that bad state again, Wen Fuyue immediately took off the coat on her body, stood on tiptoe, and put it on him. Then she quickly lowered her head, pretending as if nothing had happened.
Wei Sinian only felt a warmth on his body. When he came to his senses and saw Wen Fuyue, who seemed to want to bury her head in the ground, he suddenly felt a headache.
Forget it. He couldn't blame her. The noble consort was not very smart in the first place, and it was the Empress Dowager who plotted against her. As long as she was okay.
Moreover, he was also at fault. Thinking of himself stuffing food into Wen Fuyue's bowl at the banquet just now, Wei Sinian's face turned extremely ugly, and his hand unconsciously tightened the corner of his clothes.
Really...
Wei Sinian took a deep breath. Seeing Wen Fuyue shivering like a quail in the wind, the anger that had just subsided in his heart flared up again.
He couldn't help but say coldly, "What, noble consort? Why are you lowering your head? Do you think the emperor is wrong?"
[I really know I was wrong! How can I prove it! I'm sorry, Wei Sinian!]
Wen Fuyue knew she was wrong, and her attitude of admitting her mistake was quite good.
She looked up. Her lips were a little pale, and drops of water dripped from the ends of her hair that were stuck to her forehead. She looked extremely disheveled.
Looking at the anger on Wei Sinian's face, she felt extremely guilty. Her voice trembled slightly as she said, "Your Majesty is right."
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Wei Sinian cursed silently in his heart. He took off the outer robe on his body abruptly, put it on Wen Fuyue, and then strode forward.
Wen Fuyue obediently put on the coat and followed behind Wei Sinian like a shy young bride.
The outer robe still carried the residual warmth and the unique fragrance of Wei Sinian, perhaps a kind of precious incense. The fragrance that used to make Wen Fuyue feel domineering suddenly became extremely reassuring. She subconsciously pulled the clothes closer and wrapped herself in the outer robe. Then she quickened her steps and soon fell only one step behind Wei Sinian.
The two were very close, and their footsteps gradually overlapped. The palace was extremely quiet at night. Only faint singing and dancing sounds came from the palace where the Mid - Autumn Festival banquet had just been held.
Wen Fuyue looked at Wei Sinian's back. The wet clothes were tightly stuck to his body, outlining his perfect muscle curves. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, full of the beauty of strength.
She suddenly felt a little dazed. How long had she been in this world? A month? Wen Fuyue still couldn't shake off the sense of detachment from this world that came from transmigrating into the book. When she looked at others, she sometimes had a kind of aloof silence, like an all - knowing and all - powerful god who had already seen through the laws of the world's operation.
But it wasn't like this.
This wasn't a cold world in a book. Everyone had their own thoughts, and her arrival seemed to have disrupted the original established fate line, making everyone's future uncertain.
She didn't know if this was a good or a bad thing, but at this moment, looking at the man in front of her, Wen Fuyue suddenly felt a little lucky.
Wen Fuyue bit her lip, and her gaze towards Wei Sinian became a little complicated.
Forget it. Why think so much? Have to say, Wei Sinian is really handsome! In modern times, he would be a super - popular star! He has good temperament, a good figure, and looks like a god. That waistline, tsk tsk tsk!
Wei Sinian in front didn't hear Wen Fuyue's inner thoughts and thought that she was so shocked that her mind was completely blank.
He frowned and was about to turn around to look at Wen Fuyue when he heard her evaluation of himself.
Wei Sinian: "..." It seemed that he was still too lenient. He should give her a memorable lesson.
He resisted the urge to turn back and continued walking forward, but a blush inexplicably crept up his ears. He paused for a moment and then slowed down a little.
The noble consort was really... shameless!
When they arrived at the palace, the palace servants were shocked to see the wet emperor and the noble consort. They immediately got busy, boiling water and looking for clothes.
Wen Fuyue went behind the screen to change her clothes. When she came out, she saw Wei Sinian sitting in front of the desk.
It seemed that he heard Wen Fuyue's footsteps. Wei Sinian looked up. His expression was unclear in the dim candlelight, but Wen Fuyue could feel the overwhelming coldness emanating from him. She couldn't help but shiver.
[Oh no. With this look, he must be going to hold me accountable for my mistakes. Now that Wei Sinian and I are on the same side, we're like teammates. But I was plotted against by the Empress Dowager. Wei Sinian must be annoyed. Help!]
Wen Fuyue wailed in her heart and wanted to run away, but then she saw Wei Sinian in front of the desk look up completely, looking at her. He said coldly, "Noble consort, come here."
[Oh no, I'm doomed.]
Wen Fuyue had no choice but to drag her feet and walk to the desk reluctantly, trying to suppress the unwillingness in her eyes.
Wei Sinian was almost amused by her expression. Although she looked expressionless on the surface, in fact, she looked as if she was going to the execution ground. When Wen Fuyue stood in front of the desk, he couldn't help but sneer, and his voice was as cold as ice.
[Help!]
"Sit down." Wei Sinian pointed to the chair that had been brought over at some point on his right - hand side and said to Wen Fuyue.
[Huh? What's wrong with Wei Sinian? He looks so cold, but actually, he seems inexplicably gentle. He even asked me to sit down. Oh no, is he schizophrenic because of the shock? I'm scared!]
Wei Sinian rubbed his temples. He felt the veins on his forehead throbbing. He even wanted to cover this woman's heart.
So he sneered again.
Wen Fuyue's expression instantly became panicked.
Forget it. He couldn't argue with her. Wei Sinian finally understood that arguing with Wen Fuyue would only make himself angry.
"The noble consort is really both brave and resourceful today." Wei Sinian's voice was full of sarcasm, and his gaze towards Wen Fuyue also carried a trace of disappointment.
Wen Fuyue suddenly felt that she was like an unpromising child, and Wei Sinian was a parent who was extremely good at the palace intrigue.
"Sorry. I'll be more careful next time." Wen Fuyue held back for a long time. Since she couldn't think of what else to say, she whispered to Wei Sinian.
"Humph."
Hearing her inner thoughts, Wei Sinian pursed his lips slightly the next second, and a trace of obscure emotion flashed in his eyes.
