Chapter 202 Cannon Fodder Wife (24)
"Only today."
Di Chen's expression was more fragile than ever before, yet it concealed many complex expectations. "I won't force you to be my queen anymore. Whatever you want, I'll listen to you."
"Just... just today, be my wife and come with me to meet mother, okay?"
Sui Yu was startled suddenly, looked at him with tears in her eyes, and replied softly: "Okay, husband."
No one except Sui Yu saw the ecstasy on Di Chen's face, especially Lin Shuwei and Shen Yanting.
When they realized it, they found that the bed was empty.
It wasn't just Sui Yu and Di Chen, even Li Lian and Doctor Liu were nowhere to be seen.
If you think about it a little, you will know that it must have been done by Di Chen.
Shen Yanting bit his back teeth, filled with indignation, "He must have gone to the imperial mausoleum. His mother... is buried there."
The two looked at each other, and walked towards the palace gate in tacit understanding.
......
On a carriage that had already left the city gate and was moving slowly.
Sui Yu took small sips of the honey water that Di Chen fed her to relieve the discomfort that had just come up.
After drinking enough, he pushed it away and said, "I don't want to drink anymore."
Di Chen's face was dark blue, and the panic had not yet completely disappeared from his face. When he suddenly saw Sui Yu's face turn pale again, he almost scared himself to death.
Even though Sui Yu repeatedly emphasized that she was just carsick, the man acted as if she had some serious illness. He was so panicked that he quickly called Doctor Liu to come and see her.
Sui Yu was also at a loss for words at his fussing appearance. She took hold of his trembling hand and shook it, "Don't be afraid, I'm really fine."
Doctor Liu sat outside, wiped the sweat off his face, and nodded in agreement with Sui Yu.
This is the truth.
Not only was Sui Yu not seriously ill, her pulse even looked much healthier than Di Chen's, who had some issues due to malnutrition in his childhood.
But he didn't dare say this in front of Di Chen.
He exchanged a glance with Li Lian who was driving, and the two of them, drifting together in the spring breeze, actually felt a sense of mutual understanding, and felt that they had company on this journey.
Just as he was being affectionate, the carriage suddenly slowed down.
Then the curtain was lifted, and two tall figures got into the carriage one after another, filling the space inside the carriage which was not spacious enough to begin with.
Di Chen's face really turned dark now. He glanced at them coldly with a dangerous look.
Shen Yanting shrugged and gave in. "At worst, we can just keep quiet while you take Yaoyao in and wait for you outside, right?"
But asking them to just wait in the palace is impossible!
Impossible in this life.
Sui Yu curled herself up into a small ball, trying not to make her presence so obvious, but Shen Yanting noticed her little movements and took her into his arms.
"Yaoyao is really amazing now. He has learned to act first and report later from our emperor. I'm afraid he will learn how to take down the roof later, right?"
Sui Yu was forced to retreat again and again under pressure.
Taorao smiled and said, "Di Chen said it too suddenly. I... my head is a little dizzy and I can't count."
His original intention was not to accuse her, so Shen Yanting decided to stop while he was ahead. He took Sui Yu in his arms and sat her in the carriage, pressing his fingertips on Sui Yu's wrist to transfer his internal energy to her.
Among the three, he is the only one who has such profound internal strength. As long as it can make Sui Yu feel better, it doesn't matter who does more or less.
The carriage slowly drove towards the imperial mausoleum not far from the outskirts of Shengjing.
Because Sui Yu was there, Di Chen did not sit alone at the door of the mausoleum as usual, and his sadness naturally dissipated a lot.
Wrapping Sui Yu's delicate hands tightly, Di Chen took her to kneel at the entrance of Concubine Xi, no, now it should be said that the Queen Mother's tomb.
"Mother, this is my wife, Sui Yu. She is very kind to me."
Sui Yu looked respectful, folded his hands flat on top of each other, and kowtowed three times.
"Mother, I am Sui Yu, you can just call me Yao Yao."
Di Chen's eyes, which were always filled with coldness, were now like the clear sky after the dark clouds had dispersed, filled with relief and tenderness.
"When I was little, you always said that you just wanted me to be an ordinary child, healthy and safe. Now, I have close friends, a family, and children..."
"You may not know yet, Sui Sui is pregnant, and it's my child..."
He chattered on and on for the entire afternoon, and even Shen Yanting, who usually came to join in the jokes, didn't come to disturb him, giving Di Chen and Sui Yu some time to be alone.
only......
Shen Yanting and Lin Shuwei sat on both sides of the frame, holding the reins in their hands, and Shen Yanting did not give in at all.
"Just be content. We've been tactful and haven't given you anything to do for so long. Now you're soaking in the hot springs and want to get rid of us, you're probably dreaming."
Lin Shuwei patted his shoulder, with a calm expression on his face, showing his full agreement and support for what he said.
They could give in to Di Chen's request to take Sui Sui to see her biological mother who had passed away long ago, but it was absolutely impossible if he wanted to continue to abandon them.
Shen Yanting had overheard it as early as when Di Chen was coaxing Sui Yu to take her away secretly.
There's nothing we can do about it, since he's the one with the highest martial arts skills among the three.
Being of the same age, Di Chen would naturally not let the secret guards follow him, so it was just the three of them who had to compete with their own strength.
Lin Shuwei was able to navigate the officialdom with ease thanks to his real talents and knowledge, so naturally he had the most flexible mind.
With that said, it seems...Di Chen's only remaining option is to have a more miserable life experience than theirs.
This guy is also shameless. You can't tell because he's crazy at first, but when he really wants to compete for favor, he imitates Shen Yanting and Lin Shuwei more and more.
Especially...his appearance is the most to Sui Yu's liking among the three.
The slightly sentimental almond-shaped eyes lost their sinister luster, and tears filled them again, rolling down with the movement...
Sui Yu couldn't stand his crying the most. He always made her lose her principles and mind by asking for things, and she would unconsciously favor him more.
Whenever Lin Shuwei thought of these things, he became so angry that his teeth itched.
The same is true for Shen Yanting.
Inside the carriage.
Sui Yu leaned back to avoid the man's big head rubbing against her neck, and refused with a trembling voice, "No, I'm still pregnant."
"I'll be gentle, just rub it." Di Chen said aggrievedly, and assured Sui Yu in her ear.
Sui Yu really couldn't believe him.
What's more...if I agree to go to the hot spring with him alone, it will definitely hurt the other two.
Sui Yu will not be such an unfaithful person.
"Please~"
