I ran like crazy through the fields that led to the Empress Palace, coming out of the cypress forest.
Seeing the Empress Palace start to appear, my legs weakened, maybe relieved, and I fell hard in the middle of the field.
“Uh.”
It felt like I skinned my knee on a rock when I fell, but I got up right away without any time to feel the pain.
When I got up from falling, I saw Sollie, who was rolling her feet from a distance at the back door that connects to the laundry room.
“Your Majesty the Empress! Hurry!”
The expression on Sollie, who was waving at me, looked very anxious.
Wait, didn’t Theresa say that Sollie was waiting in front of the costume room?
Why is she suddenly out in front of the laundry room’s back door?
“Hurry up! I just saw His Majesty entering the main gate of the Empress Palace, hurry!”
Oh, my God.
My heart was in a hurry at Sollie’s words.
Without a moment to catch my panting breath, I ran straight up the spiral staircase connected to the costume room with Sollie.
Creak.
As soon as I opened the door to the costume room and stepped inside, I fell to the floor.
“Your Majesty the Empress, you have to take off your riding clothes quickly!”
Sharon, who had just entered the costume room, slid on her knees in front of me and started taking off my riding clothes quickly.
“Huff, huff, Sharon, I think I need to take a quick shower……?”
I was sweating too much.
“There’s no time for that! His Majesty is on his way up to the bedroom now!”
Sharon and Sollie helped me up.
Seeing the urgent expression on Sharon’s face, I once again realized the seriousness of this situation.
Even the breath that had been up to my chin started to calm down a bit.
I threw off all my riding clothes and became naked.
“I left a slip on the bed. Hurry into the bedroom!”
Sharon draped a thin slip gown over my shoulder and said.
We rushed out of the costume room almost running.
Knock knock knock.
Around the time we reached right in front of the bed, the bedroom door opened with the sound of a knock.
For a moment, Sharon and I both widened our eyes and locked eyes.
Unlike me who was frozen, Sharon quickly folded the blanket and pushed me into it.
In the process, the slip gown draped over my shoulder fell to the floor.
I ended up lying under the blanket naked without even touching the slip on the bed.
I pretended to be asleep with my eyes tightly closed.
“I, I greet His Majesty the Emperor!”
Sharon’s trembling voice came out.
“Is the Empress already asleep?”
Rinel asked her in a lowered voice.
It was funny, but even in this tense situation, I was glad to see him.
“Oh, yes, Your Majesty! She’s running a bit of a fever, so she was sweating…… a lot.”
“Sweating? Even now?”
“No, no, she’s better now…….”
“Hmm, I’ll take care of the Empress, you can leave.”
Worry was mixed in Rinel’s voice as he strode towards the bed.
“Yes… Your Majesty.”
With Sharon’s reply, the bedroom door soon closed.
I continued to pretend to be asleep with my eyes tightly closed.
The thought that he was looking down at me made my breath come out awkwardly, offbeat.
“Her hair is wet with sweat. It seems she has a fever on her body?”
Rinel’s cold hand touched my burning forehead and nape.
Oh, it was so cool.
“It seems she’s undressed and asleep due to the fever, seeing the slip on the floor,” Rinel said, slightly lifting the blanket that was covering me.
Hey… Please, cover me with the blanket!
I wanted to snatch the blanket from his hand immediately, but I managed to hold back.
If I continue to feign sleep, he’ll return to the palace.
Yes, this too shall pass…
“Hmm, it seems she’s really unwell.”
Rinel’s sigh quietly echoed in the air.
A little while later, a rustling sound was heard.
I felt the urge to open my eyes and see what he was doing.
However, the likelihood of his gaze being fixed on me was high.
“Well, there’s no other way.”
Fortunately, it seemed he was just going to return to the palace.
“I’ll have to use my body to bring down your fever.”
“!”
Rinel whispered in my ear.
What did you say?!
As a heavy sensation descended onto me, the hot blood rushing through my body suddenly cooled down.
Could it be that he’s also undressed?
I wanted to open my eyes, but I couldn’t do it now.
“Empress… No, Zelda, you didn’t plan for this, did you?”
Suddenly, his breath was closer to my face.
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
