Chapter 6
Chapter 6 — Through the Air Room According to the Script
His voice was filled with the feeling of surviving the disaster, and the corners of his eyes were even red.
“If she doesn't wake up... what should I do?”
Looking at the small light sparkling in his eye sockets, I suddenly thought - perhaps in his heart, there really is me. That day, I was lying under the shade of a tree enjoying the cool breeze when I suddenly heard someone whispering outside the courtyard wall.
"Have you heard? The most favored noble lady in the harem... has been beaten into the cold palace!"
"Isn't that right! The capital is loudly spreading, saying that the noble concubine is a person with a malicious mind, a gentle person on the outside, but behind her back she dares to plot to harm the royal family!"
With a "pop" sound, the fan in my hand fell to the ground.
The female lead's script... has also collapsed?
“Wife, eat this shrimp…”
I looked at the white shrimp on Co Tu's fingertips, reflexively opened my mouth, and swallowed it whole. He chewed and hesitated — to ask or not to ask?
“My lady, eat properly.”
His gentle voice rang in my ears, pulling my mind back from a far away place. I lowered my head and looked down, only to discover that the plate of vegetables in the bowl had been crushed by me. Wasting food is shameful, let alone in ancient times when supplies were scarce. After eating, I asked. I picked up the chopsticks to eat, and glared at him from the corner of my eye. What are you looking at? Take care of your food! 7.
“That…” I hesitated to speak.
"If you have anything, just say it directly." Co Tu smiled and looked at me.
“So let's tell the truth!”
“I heard that the noble lady was beaten into the cold palace!” I said while observing his face.
Sure enough, when the words Noble Concubine entered his ears, Co Tu's face immediately darkened, as if the temperature around his body had also dropped a bit. Humph, you tranny! The mouth says in the heart there is only me.
“Don't mention her!”
His voice was cold as ice, sharp and terrifying. Why wasn't it mentioned? Am I not worthy? I don't know if it's because I'm multi-minded or not, I just feel my chest suddenly heavy, a silent bitterness welling up.
"Crack" sound — The tea cup in Co Tu's hand... cracked!
I... If I don't deserve it, that's it!
"Just being beaten into the cold palace, it's really too convenient for her!"
"Don't worry, lady, if she dares to harm you, I will definitely make her regret teasing you."
Huh???
"Wasn't she beaten into the cold palace for plotting to harm the royal family? What does it have to do with me? Could it be..."
I spoke doubtfully:
“Could it be... that I am a princess lost in the folk world?”
I tightened my sleeves, my voice clearly showing excitement and joy.
“So I…”
I was in the middle of speaking excitedly, immediately facing Co Tu's teasing eyes mixed with flattery, and immediately became deflated like a cat with deflated fur.
“I was just joking.”
“Ha… ha ha!”
I turned my head and pretended to wipe the sweat from my forehead. Are people not allowed to dream in the middle of the day? After calming my mind, I sat back down opposite Co Tu.
“It was she who kidnapped me.”
This time I no longer spoke jokingly, my tone was extremely assertive.
"That's right, she plotted to harm the royal family and wanted me to help cover it up, but I refused."
“One moment of carelessness, and let her take action on her.”
“After that, I secretly searched for her whereabouts while pretending to follow her plans.”
“I just didn't expect it, she never intended to let her leave alive.”
As he spoke, he walked closer, reached out and pulled me into his arms.
“Luckily Save her in time, otherwise... I really don't dare to imagine what I would do."
His voice was filled with luck after the tribulation, but there was still a bit of fear that had not yet dissipated. Feeling his body trembling slightly in my arms, my eye sockets suddenly felt hot.
“Co Tu…”
I softly called him.
“I'm here.” – he replied, his voice full of concern and worry.
My hands tightened, hugging him and not letting go.
“From now on, we will live well.”
I whispered. Maybe... I should try to trust him once, and give myself a chance. He didn't say anything more, just bowed his head and gently kissed my lips. His lips were warm, carrying a taste that belonged to him.
“I am yours.” – He said softly, "This life... belongs to you alone."
Outside the window, the wind and snow have stopped, the moonlight hangs high on the horizon. In the room, red lanterns swayed and spring filled the air. Someone once said: Some people are born... to be a supporting role in someone else's story. But he was once a supporting character in someone else's story... so what? Everyone is the main character in their own story! 8. During the Mid-Autumn Festival next year, I was diagnosed... pregnant. My heart trembled slightly, then I turned to look at Co Tu. He suddenly froze on the spot, his black hair falling down to cover his eyes, as if he hadn't heard clearly. The royal physician had to call "Your Highness" three times before he woke up and hurriedly walked to my side. His throat slid up and down a few times, then he spoke hoarsely:
“My lady... we have a child!”
At first I was a bit nervous, but looking at his absent-minded appearance, all my worries disappeared. During her entire pregnancy, Co Tu was extremely stressed, afraid that one mistake would lead to a lifetime of regret. Especially before the birthday, you won't let me touch anything, making you so annoying I want to die.
