Rebirth of Poisoned Empress, by 颜若优雅

Chapter 121

"You're right. It seems like for your position of Empress, this lord will have to work hard in the future."

If Shen Liang was destined to be Empress, then the Emperor couldn't be anyone else but him!

"Right, why did you suddenly run over today? I originally wanted to come look for you tomorrow." Shen Liang asked while stripping his outer garments and shoes. He was prepared to chat with him for a few more minutes before napping. There would be a rough battle to engage in the next day. He needed plenty of sleep today.

"Are you certain you'll be able to go tomorrow?" Even without that old hag's schemes, didn't Shen Liang already have a prior appointment with someone else?

As the matter was mentioned, Pei Yuanxian couldn't help but begin to voice his resentment. He felt like their family's Liangliang was neglecting him more and more. He would constantly place him after everyone else.

"Isn't it only because of it's special circumstances? How would I know Xiang Zhuo would suddenly come running over." Well aware of what Pei Yuanxian was alluding to, Shen Liang smiled.

He lied down onto the bed. Pei Yuanxian also turned over to lie flat on his back but pulled Shen Liang over into his arms as he continued, "Don't bother. If this lord didn't come to find you, I'm afraid you've forgotten about this fiancé of yours a long time ago."

This matter could not be divulged in. The more it was brought up, the more Pei Yuanxian's resentment grew. The breath of a resentful woman in the boudoir permeates the air.

"Alright. Alright. Alright. I was wrong. Now exactly what did you come here for today?" It was fruitless to continue on. Shen Liang leaned against his arms and nestled around until he found a comfortable position. He closed his eyes as a faint smile touched his lips. Perhaps it was because he was already a married Ger from his previous life, but even when lying in the same bed as another man like this now, Shen Liang wasn't the least bit embarrassed. No, more accurately speaking, he only felt as though their current positions were only natural.

"What else? Isn't it because I missed you?" lowering his head to kiss Shen Liang lightly on his forehead, he then continued slowly: "In a few days, that person in the palace will specifically request your presence at the funeral. I suspect he wants to take advantage of the situation to meet you. Originally, he planned on directly passing a decree but this lord stopped him from doing so. You still haven't married me yet. On what qualifications should he request you wear sackcloth and pay filial piety to his Empress. He sure knows how to dream well."

He had arrived right after departing from the Imperial Palace this morning. The emperor was thoroughly angered by him as well. It was suspected that the old man wouldn't come finding trouble for them for some time. 

"En, you can decide on those matters yourself," shortly after closing his eyes, Shen Liang's voice became softer with sleepiness.

Pei Yuanxian patted his back gently, "Sleep. Don't concern yourself with these matters. This lord is here for that."

"En..."

Not long after, Shen Liang's breathing steadied. It was evident he had fallen asleep. 

"Occasionally, I hope you will be able to rely on me once in a while. Don't try to shoulder everything yourself." Pei Yuanxian slightly turned to face him. He caressed Shen Liang's sleeping face as he murmured quietly. There were many matters that it wasn't like Pei Yuanxian was oblivious to. He only chose to remain silent. He wanted Shen Liang to be able to live more happily, more carefree. He didn't want to see Shen Liang reveal that distressing expression anymore.

"Master, urgent." No one knew how much time passed before Tianshu materialized. When he saw the two people covered by the same blanket and lying in the same bed, he subconsciously lowered his gaze and couldn't help but wonder their master could be so impatient as to report to his duties even before their marriage, could he? These two people truly had no scruples.
