49 Times Left, Master! (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 222
Having missed his chance to flee, Nan Gyun hastily bowed like the other eunuchs.
“Yo Gwi In. Are you feeling any better?”
The Emperor brushed past Nan Gyun and entered, asking Lin Hwa. Fortunately, he wasn’t paying Nan Gyun any attention at all.
“I’m trying my best to recover quickly by resting well, Your Majesty.”
Lin Hwa stood facing the Emperor, instinctively blocking Nan Gyun with her body.
“That’s good to hear.”
Even as the Emperor sat down, he didn’t glance toward Nan Gyun. He seemed completely unaware of him.
“How is the prince? Is he well?”
“He cries often. But the nurse says babies are naturally like that.”
“He doesn’t seem very docile, then. Does he take after you?”
The Emperor laughed as if joking, but Lin Hwa’s heart sank.
Though she knew the Emperor didn’t mean resemblance in appearance, she still felt uneasy.
“Yes. He seems exactly like me. I’ve heard I cried a lot when I was little.”
Lin Hwa forced a smile while fabricating a story she’d never actually heard.
Just then, as the Emperor turned his head, Lin Hwa quickly handed him the baby.
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
That’s a blessing ML is smart and the situation is probably will be resolved quickly, otherwise I would’ve rage flip because of that never ending misunderstandings.
I hoped that after main story ending they finally will stop that habit of lying in every little thing, it’s a pity I expected too much 🫠
I can understand ML’s jealousy, but really, why not to let his wifey pay her karmic debt and then live happily ever after?
