Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 202: Well-intentioned Deception

After returning to Qingfeng Garden, Jingshu asked Li Lingdao: "What did the Holy One say?"

Li Ling replied: "Didn't I just say it in front of everyone in the front hall? The Holy One did not blame me."

Jingshu glared at Li Ling and said, "You can deceive them, but you can't deceive me. After all, how did you get punished?"

Li Ling saw that he couldn't hide it from her, so he smiled and said, "I really can't lie to you now."

Jing Shu is a smart person. He doesn’t believe that the emperor will not blame her at all when the eighth princess was injured. The emperor may not be able to bear to offend his nephew and niece, but he cannot let her go.

Jingshu looked at Li Ling and said, "Tell me the truth and don't hide it from me anymore."

In addition to the woman, there are two young brothers. The only brother who can help him fight is now paralyzed. Li Ling would rather face such a storm by himself than see his family worry and fear.

 That's why he spoke so calmly in the front hall.

Now that he could no longer hide the secret from his naughty little wife, how could he bear to tell the truth that the emperor was going to give him poisonous wine? He was afraid of scaring her.

Li Ling had no choice but to rack his brains and said: "The Holy One is indeed very angry. He wanted to demote me. My mother begged for me, and the Holy One gave up."

Jingshu believed more this time, and frowned and asked: "The eagle hurt the eighth princess to protect me. If the Holy One wants to punish me, he should come to me. Why should I blame you?"

Li Ling comforted his wife and said, "The Holy One has also punished you and taken back your imperial seal."

Hearing what Li Ling said, Jingshu believed it a bit this time. She said angrily to Li Ling, "I thought the Holy Father was going to decree that you divorce me."

Qingluan was in the camp that day, but she said that she wanted to ask the emperor to marry Li Ling. After all, he was the emperor's biological daughter. Emperor Ming used this as an excuse to order Li Lingxiu to abandon her and make way for his daughter. Jingshu originally thought that, This is quite possible.

Li Ling laughed out loud and held his wife in his arms: "You are my wife, even if he is the emperor, why would he order me to divorce my wife?"

She scolded the little woman in her arms and said, "Are you particularly afraid of leaving me?"

Jingshu did not answer him directly, but asked: "Aren't you afraid of leaving me?"

 Li Ling nodded heavily, leaned over and carried his young wife onto the bed, leaned on the bed and looked at her and said: "Don't worry, I will never leave you, and I will never let you leave me."

Jingshu was very obedient to Li Ling's frequent love words every now and then. He leaned in Li Ling's arms and murmured: "You are so good to me, how can I be willing to leave."

Li Ling looked at his wife and said, "I always feel that I am not good enough for you?"

Jingshu asked in confusion: "Why do you say that?"

 Li Ling stroked her hair and murmured back: "Ever since you learned that you were infertile, you have always frowned, and you are not like before when you are in front of me."

Under Li Ling's company and care these days, Jingshu's mood has relaxed a lot, but when a woman encounters such a thing, no one can truly calm down.

Jingshu replied: "You said that I don't treat you the same way as before. Is it because I am in a bad mood these days and have neglected you? Do you blame me in your heart?"

"I'm not that stingy." Li Ling said slowly to his wife: "It's just that sometimes I see you being cautious in front of me and always serving me with a low eyebrow, which makes me feel very uncomfortable."

Jingshu didn’t care.

Perhaps she felt guilty about Li Ling, so she inadvertently showed a lowly attitude in front of him.

Jing Shu smiled and teased Li Ling: "Don't you always like me to obey you and serve you? You should have fun when I am like this." Li Ling flattened his lips and said, "If you had been like this in front of me since we got married, , I can enjoy it with peace of mind. But you used to be so carefree, cheerful and comfortable in front of me, and now you suddenly treat me like this, I am not used to it. In the past, you laughed when you were happy, but if I offended you, you would not do it. If you cry, you just come up and pull my ears."

Jingshu made a "puff" sound and laughed: "I've never seen you like this. You also like to have your ears pulled."

With that said, she reached out and grabbed Li Ling's ears, and said with a smile: "Then I will take good care of you today."

Li Ling smiled and held Jingshu's hand, and replied: "That's not what I meant. I just want to say that I like you to be cheerful and don't want you to be depressed."

He stepped forward and kissed his wife on the lips: "Don't feel guilty about me. I just want you to be nice, talk, laugh, and make noises, then I will be happy."

Jingshu hugged Li Ling's neck and took the initiative to kiss him. She let him go for a long time. She nodded at Li Ling: "Don't worry, you treat me so sincerely. Even if it's for you, I have to cheer up."

 The bed curtain slowly fell.

Although Li Ling worked hard for most of the night, it still did not affect him from getting up early the next day to practice martial arts.

As soon as the sky was clear, Li Ling got out of bed quietly. As soon as he put on his shoes, a small hand stretched out from the tent and grabbed the hem of his clothes.

Li Ling turned around, kissed his sleepy little wife curled up in bed, and said softly: "I'll be back in half an hour, you can sleep a little longer."

The little man in the bed nodded slightly, but his little hand did not let go of his clothes.

Li Ling's heart was trembling, he took off his shoes and got back into the tent.

Jingshu was startled, squinting her eyes and saying vaguely: "What did you do to lie down again? Don't you want to practice martial arts?"

Li Ling glanced at his little wife's lazy and delicate appearance, turned over and pressed down again.

Jingshu's nap was suddenly disturbed, and she called out in a low voice: "What are you doing? You asked for so much last night, and you still don't have enough?"

Li Ling frowned slightly, looked at the little man under him and said, "It's not that you refused to let me go and insisted on keeping me."

Jingshu pushed him and said coquettishly, "Oh, I was so sleepy that I didn't mean this."

By the time Jingshu opened her eyes again, it was already three o'clock in the morning. She was empty beside her. Li Ling had already gone to the camp to be on duty.

Jingshu rubbed her sore waist. Although she had been married for such a long time, her endurance had increased a lot. After many years of experience, she had slowly experienced the beauty of it. However, because Li Ling was so strong, , she would still be tortured by Li Ling from time to time until her back was sore and her legs were weak.

Jingshu lay on the bed and relaxed for a while before calling someone in.

Ziyun glanced at his young lady's appearance and couldn't help but ask again: "Can I ask my servant to get the ointment?"

Jingshu said with a half-red face: "That's not necessary. I just ask the kitchen to stew a bowl of bird's nest for me later."

Ziyun replied: "My uncle ordered the stew to be stewed before he left. It has already been stewed and is being warmed in the hot water outside."

Jingshu nodded, and while Ziyun helped her get dressed, he said, "Just now, An Xitang ordered someone to come over and send a message, saying that the old lady asked you to come over in a while."

Jingshu asked: "Do you know why?"

Ziyun replied: "I don't know, I hear the news. It seems that the old lady has come to Beijing to congratulate me and wants to stay in the house. She probably came to discuss this matter with you."
