C13 Horrifying Emperor's Heart

"Ningru!" Big Brother was slightly angry. Although sister-in-law is third princess of the current dynasty, she is still my big brother's wife after all, so Big Brother still has the qualifications to treat her like this.

Seeing this, mother quickly took over the conversation and said, "Ningru, mother has something to tell you, you follow mother to the side hall."

Sister-in-law glanced at Big Brother, then followed Mother out.

"Yutong, come over too!" Mother just walked to the door, then turned back to call me.

"Ah?" I'm a little unwilling. Compared to the common conversation between women, I'm more willing to listen to what my father and the others say.

"Come here." Mother gave a look, so I obediently followed them to the side hall.

...

"Ningru, you were a little out of control just now." Although it was a scolding, Mother's attitude was very gentle. After all, she still needed to take into account her sister-in-law's identity.

"Ningru knows her mistake." Sister-in-law admitted her mistake, but her expression was drifting, and she was most likely still thinking about what just happened.

Mother didn't say anything else. I know very well that calling Sister-in-law out didn't mean that she wanted Sister-in-law to change her attitude immediately. Comparatively speaking, the most important thing was to leave some space for those few big men to peacefully discuss proper business.

Mother turned her head to me and suddenly asked, "Yutong, how are you and Jingyi getting along?"

"It's pretty good." I replied with a smile.

"Yes." Mother nodded slightly and said with a smile, "From the looks of it, you did get along well with him."

"Mother..." When I answered the question, I didn't feel anything. Now that Mother said so, I actually feel a little embarrassed.

"You're already married, yet you still look like a child, ah!" Mother lightly poked my forehead, her eyes full of love.

Sister-in-law was silent for a while, and then she joined our conversation. As for the things that women talk about, they only talk about those things.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon, and the men had just finished their business. All of us sat together and had lunch.

After chatting with them for a while, Jingyi and I stood up and left the manor.

On the horse carriage, I could not help but say to Jingyi, "Husband, I think sister-in-law might enter the palace and tell the Emperor what we said today."

"I know." Jingyi's expression was calm.

"You know?" I was a little surprised, but at the same time, I was even more confused. Why did he say this in front of sister-in-law even though he knew that sister-in-law would do it?

He nods his head slightly and says: "This matter must be made known to the Emperor but we do not have any evidence and just relying on our guesses is naturally not suitable to report to the Emperor like this, thus..."

"So you deliberately let sister-in-law know and wanted to use her to pass the news to the Emperor. Right? " This is the first time I have seen Jingyi's sinister side.

"This kind of him suddenly makes me a little afraid. I don't know if there will be a day when I will also be used by him.

"How can I say that I will use him?" He took my hand and explained. "Back then, the Emperor was afraid of your Shan family, but now he is afraid of our Han family. Our two families must be careful with every step we take. This matter... We need the Emperor to find out as soon as possible. Sister-in-law is not only a member of your Shan family. If she is still the current third princess , then only Sister-in-law can do it. It is most appropriate to reveal this matter to the Emperor in secret. "

So it was me who misunderstood him just now. I could not help but heave a sigh of relief in my heart. But from his tone, it seems like he knows more about the matters of our Shan family than I do. I couldn't help but ask: "You know about the matter between our Shan family and the Emperor?"

He did not avoid it and nodded his head at me to admit it.

I am not too clear about the exact situation back then. Looks like I still have to learn from him.

"How much do you know?" I asked.

"In the past, father-in-law made countless military achievements, and his identity was already that of a Rank One Great General of the current dynasty. As the saying goes, great achievements shake the lord. Because the Emperor was afraid of him, when he sent him to the north to settle the chaos, he deliberately set up a trap to make him unable to return."

Hearing this, I slightly frown. Jingyi saw my expression and changed his words and asked, "You do not know about this matter?"

I nodded slightly and continued, "I want to know. If you know, then tell me."

Jingyi hesitated for a moment and sighed. Then he said to me, "Father-in-law knows that the Emperor wanted to harm him and is very heartbroken. But he also knows that since ancient times, the Emperor has always been like this. He is not afraid of death but is reluctant to part with the Beijing family. Thus he crippled his left leg and deliberately said that he was injured by the enemy..."

Speaking up to here, I am also clear about it. Father's teacher returned to the court and the Emperor saw that his father was seriously injured so he will no longer be able to enter the battlefield. Thus he removed his title of Great General and changed it to Xuan Ping Marquis.

The Emperor is really ruthless. My father fought for half of his life for the Great Liang but was forced to cripple his left leg in the end by him. Such an Emperor actually still needs us to continue to pledge loyalty to him. Truly laughable.

"Wife, you have to know that since ancient times, most of the emperors and courtiers have been like this. Even though father-in-law is crippled, at least it was exchanged for your entire family to reunite and guard each other for the rest of your life. It's worth it!"

I know that he wants to comfort me, and I know the reason behind it. But I still can't break this knot in my heart. At this moment, not only do I have hatred towards the Emperor, but I also have prejudice against the people of their royal family.

After calming down, I raised my head and looked at Jingyi, "Husband, Father is now a Rank Two Piaoqi General. There is still one more step. He will be sitting in my father's position in the past!"

Jingyi frowned slightly and replied, "Father and I will think of a countermeasure in advance."

In the court, a young official was bullied and a senior official was afraid of being feared by the Emperor. From the looks of it, it would be better to be a commoner.

The two of us have thoughts in our minds. After a long time, Jingyi bitterly smiled and said, "No wonder father refused the Emperor's reward many times."

When he said that, I also came to a realization, "Father has a good heart and a good heart. He hopes that as a man, you can protect the country and at the same time, he is worried that you will go too fast and reach that step." At this moment, I feel that the lives of the common people are the happiest.

As soon as he arrived at the manor, Jingyi was called over by his father-in-law. As for me, when I returned to my room, I ordered Tangtang to boil water for me and prepare to take a bath.

Soaked in warm water, the fatigue in my body instantly reduced by more than half. It's just a pity that I won't have any flower petals to take a bath in the future.

"Hm? Why is the door closed?" Suddenly, I heard Jingyi talking outside the door.

Tangtang, quickly go and tell him to come back later. " I didn't expect Jingyi to come back so soon. I suddenly felt a little flustered.

Although we have already done things between husband and wife, But it was all in the dim light, and the sky was still bright, and I wasn't used to it when he saw me like this.

"Yes." Tangtang put down the handkerchief in her hand and turned to the door to reply.

"General, Madam is taking a bath. She asked you to come back later."

This Tangtang, I did not ask her to tell me that I was taking a bath just now. It was really infuriating.

"Open the door. I will go in alone. She is my wife. There is no reason to avoid me."

"Tangtang!..." I was just about to say something to stop her but it was already too late. She was quick to move and already opened the door.

"There's nothing for you here. Go down." Jingyi entered the house and instructed Tangtang to leave.

"But this servant has not finished serving Madam and taking a bath?" Tangtang said simply.

"Isn't there me?" Jingyi immediately took over the task.

"You?" Tangtang's tone was slightly hesitant, "Alright then, this servant will take her leave."

This stinky girl is really going to anger me to death. Following the sound of the door being closed, my heart does not have the time to be angry anymore. All that is left is anxiety and uneasiness.

The footsteps slowly approach the inner chambers. The nervous me instantly dived into the water the moment Jingyi bypassed the screen.

Hmm? Why is there no movement? I admit that the nature of water is good, but when I couldn't help but want to break out of the water, there was still no movement outside.

Hiding like this is not a solution. I will come out sooner or later. The key is that I can't hold my anger anymore.

Finally, with a 'Hua' sound, I rushed out of the water. However, in the next moment, the scene in front of me made me feel suffocated.

"You..." I couldn't help but swallow the bath water in my mouth. After which, I turned around and dived back into the water.

My heart suddenly jumped, and I felt like my head was going to explode.

Suddenly, I, who was underwater, was pulled out of the water by two hands. He smiled and said, "It's not like I haven't seen it before. Is there a need to be like this?"

As he spoke, he helped me remove the hair on my face. At the same time, his other hand wrapped around my waist and pulled me into his arms.

I pouted and said unhappily: "It was at night before and the lights were dim. Now the sky is still bright. How can it be the same?"

"What, I am at night. You are willing to accept me, but you are not willing to accept me during the day?"

I lowered my head and looked at his chest. I replied softly, "No, I'm just not used to it."

"Then let's get used to it now, okay?"

"Hm?" I raised my head to look at him but didn't understand what he meant.

The corner of his lips curled up, and my face instantly turned red. "You..."

Before I could complain to him, he pressed his lips together and forcefully blocked my words.

"Husband..." I called out to him in a low voice.

It's broad daylight now. Perhaps in a while, Granny will send someone to ask us to eat. How can we behave like this?

"Hubby -" I begged him, "The water is cold. Let's quickly get out."

He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly kissed my collarbone. Then, he said helplessly, "In order to prevent you from catching a cold, we have to do this first."

I smiled and turned my head to take a look, only to find that he left a red circle of dizziness on my collarbone.

"You're like this again." I don't know how many of them are like this on my body.

"You don't like it?" He asked.

"It's not about whether you like it or not. It's just that if others see it, what should we do?" Actually, when I said this, I felt that it was funny. They were all under my clothes, so how could outsiders see it?

However, he seemed to have been provoked. He suddenly pulled me into his arms and kissed me on the neck.

"Aiya!" This time, I clearly felt pain. I couldn't help but cry out. In the next moment, he let go of me, but he didn't comfort me. Instead, he smiled in satisfaction.

He actually laughed? This anger of mine.

"What are you doing?" I asked discontentedly.

"Let everyone know that you are my, Han Jingyi's, woman." Although his tone was very calm, it could not hide his domineering tone.

This is the first time I have found out that he is so domineering.
