After listening to Xuexue’s explanation, Long Rui imdiately laughed and said, "Wife, what you said is really insightful, every sentence hits the core."
Xuexue smiled proudly, "Of course."
Long Rui gently pulled Xuexue into his arms, inhaling the scent emanating from her body. Unlike the strong rouge and face powder worn by most won, she had a faint body scent, very fresh and quite enchanting.
In the carriage, the two of them said nothing, quietly embracing each other, savoring the warmth of the mont. Outside, the sound of horse hooves and the carriage driver’s shouts made it feel like they had returned to the serene days in Mo Family Village.
After a while, Long Rui rubbed his chin on top of Xuexue’s head and gently called, "Wife?"
"Hmm."
"Were you afraid being alone in the Imperial Palace?"
"Not afraid, you know, I have my space. If anything happens, I can hide in there."
"You’re thinking too simply. Sotis unexpected events don’t give you ti to hide."
"So, you entered the Imperial Palace to rescue ?"
"Yes, The Emperor is not a righteous man. I was afraid you’d get hurt."
Hearing this, Xuexue was very touched, her voice a bit hoarse, "Husband, you’re really silly. Weren’t you afraid that the Emperor would find out you were pretending about the Gu Poison when you impulsively rushed into the Imperial Palace today?"
"For my wife’s safety, everything is worth it."
"You’re so good!"
"I feel very guilty for marrying you into the War Prince’s Mansion, putting you in danger."
"Husband, do you regret it?"
"A little."
"Hmph!"
The previous feeling of being moved vanished instantly. Xuexue sprang up from Long Rui’s embrace, but in her agitation, she bumped her head on the ceiling of the carriage, frowning in pain.
"Wife, are you okay?"
Xuexue suddenly lost her temper, and Long Rui was bewildered, not knowing what happened. Seeing her hit her head, he felt pain in his heart and reached out, wanting to embrace her again.
Who knew, Xuexue was still full of anger and didn’t appreciate it, pushing him away with her hand, "Go away."
"Wife, what’s wrong?" Long Rui asked pitifully.
Even if it was a death sentence, you should at least tell him why.
Xuexue: "Don’t you regret marrying ?"
Long Rui suddenly realized that his wife had misunderstood. He didn’t regret marrying her, but regretted involving her in the grievances between him and The Emperor, making her a target of The Emperor.
"Wife, you misunderstood, that’s not what I ant."
"Then what do you an?"
"I don’t regret marrying you. I regret putting you in danger. The Imperial Family is full of intrigues. It’s not as simple as you think. Besides, The Emperor has always seen as a thorn in his side, a pain that must be removed. You know this very well."
"Hmm."
Only then did Xuexue’s anger subside.
"Don’t be angry anymore, let hold you!"
"No."
Her earlier reaction was too intense, and Xuexue shyly shifted her body.
But Long Rui didn’t care, stretching out his long arms to pull Xuexue into his embrace.
Originally, he thought that as long as they kept their distance publicly, The Emperor wouldn’t target Xuexue. Who would have guessed that he miscalculated? The Emperor’s gathering definitely had an ulterior motive. Had he not arrived early, who knows what might have happened, Long Rui secretly feared.
"Ouch, what are you doing? You’re hurting ." Long Rui held her too tightly, causing Xuexue so pain.
"Wife, I’m sorry. I was just scared. If I had been a bit late, who knows what might have happened to you?"
