Chapter 286 Don’t be afraid, I’m here
It was not until he held the person tightly in his arms that the empty feeling that made him feel uneasy was filled.
As if the whole day's galloping was for this moment, he rested his chin on top of her head and greedily inhaled the sweet scent of osmanthus that belonged only to her, "Don't be afraid, I'm back."
Shen Yu wanted to say that she was not afraid, but when she was in trouble, someone she could rely on suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It felt really good. This kind of peace of mind that someone could support you was also new to her.
She thought, maybe she should have more confidence in him...
In fact, Shen Yu knew clearly that she didn't want to consummate the marriage before because she thought she might leave at any time. Later, she was willing to be close to him because she cared about him and couldn't bear to see him suffer... As for the fear of pregnancy, it was all an excuse. What she was afraid of was that the situation would change after arriving in Zhuocheng.
Ever since she learned about the situation in Zhuocheng from Zhang Hao, combined with the plight of the prince of neighboring Youcheng, she understood what kind of situation she would face in the future... After all, aristocratic families are not only found in Youcheng, but also in Zhuocheng.
Although everyone in Prince Zhuo's mansion believed that Zhuo City had been firmly controlled by Lu Yingxing over the years, he himself had not lived there for more than ten years, so it was hard to say who really controlled Zhuo City. The temporary city lord was also an old man in the mansion and the most trusted confidant of the old Prince Zhuo. It was not that she did not trust the loyalty of the Zhuo City Army, but that she did not trust human nature.
Especially since Zhang Hao had hinted to her that the Acting City Lord intended to let his daughter enter the prince's palace after the prince returned... This made her even more uneasy.
She couldn't tell anyone about her anxiety, after all, nothing had really happened, right? It could be said that these were all her pettiness and defense, but it was also these pettiness that prevented her from fully devoting herself to trusting this relationship.
What she feared had actually never changed from the beginning. She was afraid of being abandoned, afraid that when Lu Yingxing made a dilemma, this so-called love and promise would be replaced...
In the eyes of others, she is already the legal wife and the princess. No matter how many women there are in the palace, none of them can surpass her. This is an ancient time when men had three wives and four concubines. No one would understand her modern concepts of monogamy.
So she believed in love, but she didn't dare to believe in the love in ancient times...
Besides, if she had married an ordinary man, she was confident that she would live a good life, but she married a royal duke of a city, and the responsibilities he carried never allowed him to be willful.
She knew the importance of the right to speak, so the "poverty alleviation plan" and "immigration plan" she made in advance for Zhuocheng, as well as the exchanges and cooperation with the second generation of emperors from all over the country, were just to increase the bargaining chips for Lu Yingxing's return, even if their relationship really had changes...
After she left, with these foundations laid, Lu Yingxing would be able to manage Zhuocheng better.
She had thought that she would consummate the marriage with him after returning to Zhuocheng and settling down, so that even if they had children, they could grow up in a stable environment. However, Shen Yu was afraid that she would not be able to wait that long...
Since this man is now sincere and complete in all his kindness to her, she is willing to give herself to him completely. If there are changes after he returns to Zhuocheng, isn't it a test for him? So she tries to stay, so she hopes he will go back alone first...
If that possibility really happened, if he would take the city lord's daughter into his mansion to balance the forces...
If God is willing to favor her, perhaps, in addition to taking away the love she has given, he can also take away a child with his blood?
This idea was somewhat extreme, but so what? She never considered herself a normal person.
"Ma'am...what's wrong with you?"
Suddenly, she heard a slight vibration of chest in her ears, which brought her back to her senses. Then a big hand stroked her cheek, and then forced her to look up. Suddenly, she met those phoenix eyes full of worry, but Shen Yu smiled.
She had thought of countless possibilities, but she had never thought that he would come back...
Before he left, he didn't know the emperor's position. If he was discovered when he came back this time, he might never be able to leave... but he still came back.
Shen Yu suddenly buried her face in his arms, turned around like a spoiled child, and said softly, "No, I just miss you."
Lu Yingxing paused for a moment, his face full of shock. He wondered if he had heard it wrong.
Yu'er had always been distant to him, and although they had already been a real couple, he always had a feeling that Yu'er was a goddess who could leave at any time, and she had never said sweet words to him. But just now, the lady seemed to say... she missed him?
He had lost too much blood in those two days and was still weak. He knew that he couldn't persuade her to leave, and he couldn't keep her either, so he rushed back as soon as he had a chance. He could only feel at ease if he kept her in his sight. But he didn't expect that during this short separation, his wife would give him such a surprise!!!
"Yu'er..."
Lu Yingxing stared at her head with sparkling eyes, "Yu'er... Good Yu'er, Ah Yu, can you say it again?"
Shen Yu refused to look up. She was impulsive just now and now she regretted it. This was the first time she really acted like a spoiled child in front of her boyfriend. She herself was not used to it, okay? !
Just when they were about to continue their lovemaking, an inopportune noise was heard, "Ah!"
Shen Yu suddenly woke up and finally remembered where he was. He turned around to meet the dissatisfied eyes of Prince De and the silly smile of Aunt Ye. Shen Yu, who always thought that as long as he was not embarrassed, he would be fine, but he was finally embarrassed...
It was a rare opportunity for Lu Yingxing to have his wife act coquettishly, and he was enjoying it when he was suddenly interrupted by these inexplicable people. He was in a very bad mood, so his words were not very polite.
"If I remember correctly, this is Prince Zhuo's Mansion, right?" He looked at Prince De coldly, with the word "dissatisfaction" almost engraved on his forehead.
"Ah!"
Prince De was also very dissatisfied with this wolf cub who had kidnapped his daughter. Just when he heard that a master was approaching, he thought of tricking his daughter into quickly recognizing him as her relative. After all, who else could be such a master who could move freely in Prince Zhuo's mansion?
Besides, he received news yesterday that Prince Zhuo had sneaked back to Luo City. Why did he come back so soon? !
Of course, Prince De had seen Lu Yingxing before, and had cooperated with him before, concealing his identity. He thought that this guy looked good, was responsible, and had enough brains, but now he was more and more disgusted with him? He looked so good, obviously he didn't look loyal, why did he look more and more like the scumbag his daughter described?
Oh, now I remember, he had scandals with the Xu family and the Xue family, right?
Ha! You still want to marry my daughter? No way!
Prince De raised his eyes and chuckled, "If I remember correctly, Prince Zhuo should have left Luo City, right? So you are now... entering the city without being summoned?"
Linyue State has restrictions on the emperors and princes of various places, otherwise what should be done if the princes who own fiefs and have great power sneak in with their troops! Therefore, if they want to enter the capital Luocheng, they must be summoned by the emperor...
Otherwise, it will be regarded as treason.
