Chapter 152 Secret Past
After taking a shower, Chu Ci stood in front of the mirror, circulated her inner energy, and warm breath flowed out from her body, quickly drying her wet hair.
Feeling the blood flowing through his body, Chu Ci felt all his fatigue swept away.
Back in her room, she lay on the bed like a lazy cat, completely relaxing.
Then I closed my eyes and enjoyed this moment of tranquility.
Soon, Shi An finished washing up.
He took off his outer garment, climbed onto the bed like a nimble little rabbit, and then nestled into Chu Ci's arms as if he had found a warm nest.
The man's cheek was pressed against Chu Ci's cheek, his arms were around her neck, feeling her warmth, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face.
"Master Wife~"
Shi An called out to Chu Ci in a coquettish tone, her voice almost overflowing with affection.
Chu Ci turned her head and looked at her husband's adorable appearance. She couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke his hair, and even kissed him on the cheek. "What's wrong?"
Shi An raised her head, looked into Chu Ci's eyes, and said with some grievance, "Can we please stop going to brothels and entertainment venues in the future? It's bad for your reputation."
Upon hearing this, Chu Ci immediately understood. He moved his hand down and pinched Shi An's cheek. "Reputation and such are just excuses. Are you jealous?"
Shi An felt embarrassed after Chu Ci said that, and her face turned red.
But she quickly became somewhat "embarrassed and angry," and bit Chu Ci's chin, muttering, "Wife! You know I only said that because I care about you, you...you're still teasing me, how can you be like this~!"
Seeing Shi An's embarrassed and angry expression, Chu Ci found him very cute, so she quickly hugged him tighter and then, taking advantage of his inattention, stole a kiss on his lips, her eyes crinkling with laughter.
"Alright, don't be angry, my darling," Chu Ci said softly. "I promise you, I will never go to a place like that again."
Upon hearing this, Shi An felt a surge of joy.
"really?"
He wasn't particularly angry that Chu Ci went to that kind of place for official business, since it was a requirement of his position, and he could understand it.
I just felt a little uncomfortable and awkward.
"Of course." Chu Ci nodded repeatedly. "I was only there for a short while, and the smell was unbearable. My nose almost went numb. Your scent was the best."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Ci buried her head in Shi An's neck and greedily inhaled several breaths.
Shi An felt a little ticklish from her action and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He gently patted Chu Ci's head, showing great indulgence.
"Alright, my wife knows I'm good to you, so you should cherish me."
"Don't worry." Chu Ci raised his head, looked at Shi An, and touched his chest. "There's only you here, no one else."
Shi An's heart raced at his wife's sweet words. Suppressing his shyness, he leaned closer to Chu Ci and kissed her lips. Then he gently kissed her cheeks all the way down to her earlobe before stopping.
Chu Ci closed her eyes, fully enjoying her husband's kisses and intimate caresses, and a surge of emotion welled up in her heart.
These peaceful and happy days were a world apart from the life she had lived on the edge of a knife in her previous life.
I'm so happy right now...
After the lights in the room were turned off, the two people on the bed embraced tightly, preparing to drift off to sleep.
However, at that moment, Shi An seemed to suddenly remember something important, and carefully leaned close to Chu Ci's ear and whispered something.
"My lady, the matter of the prince's marriage alliance has been making headlines lately, have you heard about it?"
Chu Ci, whose eyes had been gradually closing, slowly opened them again, and replied in a somewhat indistinct voice, "Yes, I heard about it. What happened?"
The current emperor detests marriage alliances the most. Back when she was still in the abyss, her own brother was forced into a marriage alliance and eventually died on the way.
Therefore, after she became emperor, she forbade Ning Dynasty men from marrying into other countries.
This action clearly indicates that something has gone wrong.
Shi An sat up and leaned closer to Chu Ci, continuing to lower his voice and say, "I have some inside information about that prince. Do you want to know?"
Chu Ci wasn't really interested, but she still went along with her husband and asked, "What kind of gossip?"
"Rumor has it that the prince is not His Majesty's biological son, but rather the offspring of an affair between a concubine (a concubine of high rank who can reside in a side palace and raise a prince) and another man."
Upon hearing this news, Chu Ci immediately opened her eyes. "Where did you hear this news from?"
Shi An shrugged and explained, "I heard it from the Crown Princess in my past life. She accidentally said it when she was drunk, so I'm not sure if it's true or not."
After he finished speaking, he carefully observed Chu Ci's expression, wanting to see her opinion on the matter.
However, Chu Ci remained silent for a moment before closing his eyes, seemingly unconcerned about the matter.
"Who cares? It has nothing to do with us anyway. Getting some sleep is more important."
Seeing this and hearing Chu Ci's response, Shi An was finally relieved. He quickly hugged his wife tightly and closed his eyes contentedly.
"Yes, my wife is right. Let's go to sleep."
Shi An went to great lengths to ensure that this secret could be successfully transmitted to the Seventh Prince's rivals.
However, it seems that everything is going smoothly now, and the person's speed in handling matters is also acceptable, so he has not disappointed him.
