"Fool!" Chu Mohan chuckled and rubbed her head, "No matter what happens, I will always be your husband, and I should protect you, why say thank you?"

His words, though brief, were heartwarming. Chu Wanxiang nodded: "Well, I believe in the husband."

"Let's have some soup." Chu Mohan instructed his subordinates to bring bird's nest porridge and feed it to her personally.

"The concubine came by herself." Chu Wanxiang wanted to sit up, but her back pain made her frown.

"Don't move, lie down." Chu Mohan brought the spoon to her lips and comforted her gently. new

Chu Wanxiang opened her mouth to swallow the porridge, and when she saw a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone next to the table, she said, "The concubine wants to write a letter to the family."

"I'll talk about it when I'm well." Chu Mohan said, "Didn't you wake up once just now? Why are you tired and faint again?"

Chu Wanxiang said embarrassedly, "That time it was pretended."

"Why?"

"The concubine wants to know if we are husband and wife or strangers?"

Chu Mohan smiled and said, "I am your husband, you are my wife, of course you are husband and wife, what am I lying to you for?"

"But ......"

"If you're worried that I'm going to harm you or use you against the Chu State, then you can ignore me and just follow the plan." Chu Mohan said, "Since I have married you, I will no longer harm you."

Chu Wanxiang gritted her teeth, "I won't be so stupid. You want me to die, but I don't want to die, or it would be too cheap for you."

"I don't want you to be wronged because of me." Chu Mohan said.

"I'm your wife! If I am wronged, you are wronged, why don't you think about it for me?" Chu Wanxiang glared at him.

Chu Mohan said, "I am a man, and a man must stand up to the sky. If I can't even protect my wife and children, what face do I have to leave in the world and live in the fingers of others?"

"Then you can find another wife!" Chu Wanxiang blurted out.

As soon as the words came out, both of them froze, their eyes met, and Chu Wanxiang's heart beat faster.

Chu Mohan slowly retracted his gaze and asked her in a calm tone, "Do you want me to take a concubine?"

Chu Wanxiang pursed her mouth.

"If you really love me, you should support me." Chu Mohan paused and continued, "You know my temper, it's not the kind that can be accepted casually."

His subtext was: If you dare me to accept other women, I'll kill you.

"I don't want my beloved husband to be embarrassed." Chu Wanxiang clenched her fists, hating her heart. The women of this world only need to be chaste, and must not accept three wives and four concubines, otherwise they will be scolded by the world and their reputation will be discredited. She didn't want to see him in a dilemma, so she chose to bear it silently, and was even willing to fulfill him and not be jealous of other women. Unexpectedly, in exchange for his disgust and disgust.

"Don't worry, I won't embarrass you. You are the only woman I love, I only want you to be happy, and I have no other luxury." Chu Mohan said.

Chu Wanxiang's eyes were hot when she heard this, and she choked up, "Husband, ......"

Chu Mohan hugged her, patted her shoulder, and said in a much softer tone: "You have been asleep for three days, and I have been with you every step for the past three days. You're hungry, hurry up and eat something to replenish your strength, and we'll talk about business when we're full."

Chu Wanxiang nodded, drank a bowl of porridge, and recovered her appetite.

"The concubine wants to see her parents and brother." Chu Wanxiang said.

"I know, I'll have someone inform your father right away." Chu Mohan said, "They know that you are awake and very happy, you are weak, you are recuperating for the time being, and you will see them again when you are better."

Chu Wanxiang hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and agreed.

After eating some light food to pad her stomach, Chu Wanxiang felt a lot better and refreshed. Chu Mohan took a cloak and put it on her, "It's cold, wear more clothes."

Chu Wanxiang snuggled into his arms and whispered, "I have a husband now, and I am no longer alone, husband, with you, I am not afraid."

"Fool." Chu Mohan pinched her nose dotingly, "Don't think about it

Too much, I'm here, everything is with me."

The two sat on the bed with each other in their arms, without saying a word, but the atmosphere was inexplicably warm.

Chu Mohan said, "I heard from the palace people that the Queen Mother sent someone to summon you yesterday, but you refused to go because of me?"

Chu Wanxiang shook her head: "No. I'm just afraid to see them."

Chu Mohan muttered, "Are they unkind to you because they are jealous of your holy favor?"

Chu Wanxiang smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that I still have this charm that can cause everyone to be jealous. Am I amazing?"

Chu Mohan touched her head, "You are much smarter than those women. They don't know what kind of person I am, so why are they jealous of you?"

Chu Wanxiang pursed her lips and said disapprovingly, "That's why they're stupid, can you blame me?"

Chu Mohan said, "It's me who didn't teach them well."

"Husband, I'm not targeting you. I know you're good to me, and I like you to be nice to me, I just don't like people staring at me in strange eyes, I'm not used to it."

"yes, I understand." Chu Mohan kissed her forehead, "You rest first, I'll have someone bring the food."

After he left, Chu Wanxiang sat alone in the bedroom.

"Niangniang, come and see." A surprised voice suddenly sounded, "The slave maid picked up a piece of jade pendant today, this is ......

The curtain was lifted, revealing the little maid's panicked face. Chu Wanxiang was stunned, wasn't that the little maid who broke her jade bracelet some time ago?

The little girl was holding a red jade pendant in her hand, and her face turned red with excitement, "Niangniang, this jade pendant is so beautiful!" After speaking, he handed the jade pendant to Chu Wanxiang.

The jade pendant is indeed very beautiful, the whole body is green and lush, exuding a faint fluorescence, and it seems to be flowing spring water, which is intoxicating.

Chu Wanxiang took it over and observed it carefully, this jade pendant was delicately carved and lifelike, as if it was really taken out of the spring water. She looked up at the little maid, and the little maid hurriedly said, "This is a reward from the emperor."

"Your Majesty?" Chu Wanxiang frowned, "Why is the jade pendant rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor in your hands?"

"The emperor ordered me to bring it to my mother." The little maid said.

"For me?" Chu Wanxiang was slightly stunned, "Why didn't he come over in person?"

"The slave doesn't know."

Chu Wanxiang frowned, "Since you gave it to me, then return it to the emperor, so as not to cause trouble."

The little maid said, "The slave maid has been sent to His Highness just now, and His Highness said that if the mother wakes up and wants to go back, ask the slave and maid to bring it to the mother."

A trace of warmth flashed in Chu Wanxiang's heart. Although this scumbag has no conscience, he still cares about her.

"Niangniang, do you want the slave to serve you medicine?" The little maid asked tentatively.

Chu Wanxiang shook her head, "No need."

She leaned on the soft pillow, her thoughts racing. Why did Chu Mohan suddenly change his mind, not only grounding the Queen Mother and the Emperor, but also revoking her title. According to her understanding of Chu Mohan, he should take this opportunity to kill the emperor and the queen mother. After all, the emperor and the empress dowager were threats to him, and he could not tolerate their existence.
