Chapter 144: A Short Separation and a New Marriage
Pei Heng looked at his lovely wife whom he hadn't seen for two days with a lingering look in his eyes.
"I heard there were assassins on the mountain, so I was worried, so I rushed here. Are you okay?"
Did the news spread so quickly?
Su Li raised her head and smiled foolishly, "What can happen to me?"
"Ari, do you... want to wipe it first?"
Pei Heng pointed at the corner of his mouth and reminded Su Li with a smile.
"What?" Su Li touched it casually.
Grass! A green plant.
A hand full of saliva!
Her face flushed instantly, and she said in frustration, "It's all your fault!"
"Hahahahahaha!" Pei Heng laughed heartily.
This was the first time he had seen his little wife look so naive, and he enjoyed it very much.
"General, the princess invites you."
Fang Gu came over and knelt down to salute Pei Heng.
Pei Heng's smiling face suddenly darkened, and he felt a little regretful that he had spread his peacock tail just now.
I only wanted to see A-ri as soon as possible, but I forgot that Her Royal Highness the Princess was also traveling with us.
He coughed dryly a few times, restrained his radiance, and then dismounted and walked to the princess's carriage. He saluted with his fists clasped, and lowered his head so low that even his chin could not be seen.
"I greet Her Royal Highness the Princess."
In the carriage, the eldest princess was in mixed emotions.
Seeing Pei Heng back to normal, riding his horse, the princess couldn't help but feel moved. But when she thought about the purpose of his trip for someone else, she felt a little disappointed.
Fortunately, I have decided to let the past go with the wind.
Thinking of this, the princess calmed down and tried to make her expression calm and natural. She said:
"I'm glad to see you're well."
Pei Heng kept his head down and said:
"Princess Lao is worried."
Here, Su Li wiped her mouth and quickly took out a small mirror to touch up her makeup. Then she leaned back against the window and looked at Pei Heng's back.
From a distance, I couldn't tell what they were talking about. But it was clear that Pei Heng was a man of integrity, not looking away from her from beginning to end. It wasn't until the princess lowered the curtain that Pei Heng stepped back, standing by the roadside to respectfully see her off.
Only after the carriage had gone a long way did he breathe a sigh of relief, raised his head and ran towards Su Li.
Songzhi and Songtao got off the carriage tactfully and squeezed into a carriage with Wanwan and Qianqian at the back.
Pei Heng got into the carriage, and the two of them hugged each other after just one look at each other.
"did you miss me?"
Pei Heng hugged his wife, and his worried heart gradually calmed down.
"Yeah!" Su Li was not pretentious at all.
Just think about it!
"It's cold on the mountain and I can't sleep at night. My feet are always cold." Su Li pouted.
"Oh, so you wanted me to stay in bed."
Pei Heng lowered his eyes and looked at her.
Su Li chuckled and said, "Why? You don't want to warm the bed for me?"
"Of course I did! But is that all I can do for you?"
"Hmm... let me think. Oh, by the way, I also want you to give me a leg massage. You're such a good massager!"
Pei Heng laughed, hugged Su Li and whispered in her ear:
"Okay, I'll give you a pounding tonight. When you get home, I have a surprise for you."
"what?"
"can not say!"
"Just reveal a little bit!"
"no!"
"I beg you!"
"It just doesn't work!"
……
The princess's carriage entered Shengjing City. The injured man got off the carriage and was helped to walk to the front of the princess's carriage.
"Thank you, Princess, for saving my life."
Across the curtain, the eldest princess said calmly:
"No need to be so polite, just say goodbye."
Anyway, I won't see him again, so why bother being polite? Having said that, the carriage slowly started moving.
The man covered his chest, his lips pale, and leaned against the roadside, gasping for breath for a long time before he hurried home.
As soon as he opened the door of the courtyard, he fell headfirst to the ground.
"Yanqing! Yanqing?"
……
"Your Highness was struck by heavy objects on the chest and back, suffering considerable internal injuries. He also caught a cold and will need to remain in bed for at least a month."
After the imperial physician finished treating King Kang, he reported back.
Prince Kang's mother, Concubine De, looked at her son lying on the bed dying and punched the edge of the bed in anger.
"Prince Jing! This is too much!"
Prince Kang trembled his lips and asked guiltily, "Mother, why do you think so?"
"Why do you think so? The eldest princess has already told me, and she was almost assassinated. Prince Jing is so obsessed with the throne that he's now attacking his own brother."
King Kang wisely chose to keep his mouth shut.
He said weakly, "Mother, I suspect he was responsible for the Tongtian Tower case. He wanted to kill the king. Now he wants to kill my brother! Mother, you have to make the decision for me!"
Concubine De snorted and said, "Just wait, I will definitely avenge you."
As soon as Concubine De left, Prince Kang got up groaning and said in a muffled voice:
"She has come back?"
The attendant quickly replied, "Your Highness, we saw Madam Pei's carriage just returned to the General's Mansion."
Prince Kang turned his head and glanced at the two pieces of clothing on the bedside rack.
There was a small footprint on the chest of the piece.
There are two large jar marks on the back of one piece.
"Su Li, sooner or later you will be my subordinate!"
"Ha! Ha!"
"Ouch!"
……
"What's the surprise?"
Su Li had her eyes covered as she walked into the yard.
The further we walked, the quieter it became. We could faintly hear the sound of water and smell a warm mist.
"have a look!"
Pei Heng let her go, and Su Li felt her eyes brighten, and what came into view was an extra-large bathtub.
The bathtub is made of white jade, with hot water flowing in continuously. The whole room is filled with white mist, as if you are in a fairyland.
"Tangchi?!"
Su Li was surprised and turned to look at Pei Heng in disbelief, "Where did it come from?"
Pei Heng chuckled and said:
"There used to be a hot spring on the hill behind the Shogun's residence. I never lived there before and never took care of it. Now they've just brought the water down and turned it into a bath. It's getting colder now, so it's a perfect time to use it."
"Ari, do you like it?"
"like!"
What a paradise on earth this is!
It must be so cool to be the wife of a first-rank military marquis.
"Splash!" Before Pei Heng could react, Su Li jumped into the pool with all her clothes on.
The slightly scalding water made her feel dizzy for a moment.
She soon adapted.
Soaking in the water, she kept splashing water, and the sound of water splashing on her body seemed to also splash on Pei Heng's heart.
In the mist, Su Li dived into the water like a nimble fish, and then saw clothes floating up one by one.
The snow-white skin was faintly visible in the water. Su Li floated far away before stopping on the other side.
She leaned against the edge of the bathtub, shook off the water, and raised her head to invite:
"Aren't you coming down?"
Pei Heng looked at her lovingly.
As expected, the lady likes to be in the water.
He said the bathtub was not big enough!
Thinking of this, Pei Heng felt that he was really a smart guy.
Pei Heng took off his outer robes one by one, and his long black hair spread out like silk. He walked slowly down the white jade steps step by step.
Su Li had never looked at him like this before. Now, looking at his almost perfect figure, she felt her blood rushing to her head.
He is indeed a monster!
As Pei Heng got closer, Su Li's face became hotter.
Suddenly, she saw him dive in as well. Just as she was wondering what he was going to do, she felt a pair of hands underwater wrap around her, massaging her calves all the way up...
She tilted her head back slightly, closed her eyes, leaned against the pool wall, bit her lips and tried not to make any sound.
The water in the pool ripples.
Fortunately, the fog was thick. She couldn't imagine what she would be like under Pei Heng's command...
"Madam, how do you feel?" Pei Heng asked as he surfaced. With a stretch of his long arms, Su Li fell into his arms.
"……very good!"
The pool water washed over her gently, side by side.
Closing her eyes, Su Li seemed to turn into a small boat, floating in Pei Heng's palm.
"look at me."
She raised her head, there was no escape, no way to avoid it.
Her misty eyes met Pei Heng's. Her figure was clearly reflected in his dark, tender eyes. She watched herself floating in Pei Heng's hands...
Wave after wave of tides came...
They say that a short absence is better than a new marriage...
Honest...don't lie to me!
