Everyone said that one could only appreciate the beauty of another when the surroundings were dark.
It was only then that the desire in one's heart would be magnified infinitely.
The desire in Wei Yi's heart gradually turned into an impulse. An incomparably selfish thought flashed through his mind. It was to keep Ji Yunshu by his side forever. Even if it meant confinement, it would be better. This thought gradually turned into a terrifying possessiveness that was unmistakably revealed in his eyes.
But …
The last bit of rationality left in his heart made him dispel that thought.
It was probably because it was raining at night and the road was not visible, so it was a little slippery. Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew the umbrella in Ji Yunshu's hand backwards. She did not have enough strength in her hand, and the umbrella's handle slipped out of her hand and was blown away by the wind. At the same time, the inertia caused her body to lean backwards. She was careless and her feet were unsteady, causing her to lose control and fall to the ground.
Go.
"Ah!"
The moment the umbrella was blown away, the dense raindrops mercilessly attacked her body. The ice-cold raindrops hit her face and seeped into her skin, causing her body to tremble. She thought that she would become a drowned rat, but Wei Yi reacted quickly. The moment her body fell backwards, his big hand firmly grasped her waist and pulled her up. She fell steadily into Wei Yi's sturdy chest.
Above.
Firmly protected!
The two of them were stuck together with the umbrella covering each other. The distance between them was as thin as a piece of paper.
"Are you alright?" Ji Yunshu reacted, but she was still in shock. Her clothes were drenched by the rain, and her face was also dripping with rainwater. Under the illumination of the pearls, she looked particularly sparkling and translucent. Even though it was the end of the eighth day of summer, the cold was still bone-chilling, but the warmth from Wei Yi's chest …
However, the warmth that came from Wei Yi's chest gradually dispersed the chill in her body.
Wei Yi had covered most of her head with the umbrella, but his shoulder was already drenched in sweat.
Seeing this, she immediately pushed away Wei Yi's hand that was holding the umbrella.
"Don't get wet yourself."
But she did not have the strength to resist!
Instead, Wei Yi firmly grasped her waist and tightened his grip.
She looked up at him, and he looked down at her.
The drizzle fell on his hair, dripping onto his forehead, eyebrows, eyelashes, and the corners of his eyes.
Languid and deep.
This Wei Yi was very charming.
Especially that kind of gaze, if one looked at it for a long time, it would make one sink in.
Unable to extricate himself.
At that moment, Ji Yunshu was a little afraid. She was afraid that if she continued to stare at him like that, her heart would be moved. She might as well avert her gaze and place her hands between the two of them. She used a bit of strength and tried to separate them.
He was unwilling to let go.
The little fake girl hurriedly carried the umbrella on her back and placed it over Wei Yi's body that was exposed to the rain.
"Your Majesty, don't get wet in the rain."
Her words broke the 'stalemate' between the two of them. Wei Yi suddenly sobered up and quickly let go of the woman in his arms. At the same time, he stuffed his umbrella into her hands.
Ji Yunshu took two steps back.
But she didn't dare to meet his gaze again.
Wei Yi looked at her, but the face under the umbrella was obscured by the light. He could only vaguely see the outline of his face.
A moment later, they arrived at the Hall of Utmost Peace.
Wei Yi immediately ordered, "Bring me a set of clean clothes."
"Yes."
The eunuch hurriedly fetched clean women's clothes.
The clothes were very soft, made of high-quality satin. Generally, only the imperial concubines in the palace could afford to wear them.
"Shu 'er, quickly go inside and change your wet clothes."
By 'inside', he meant his inner chamber.
Several of the eunuchs were stunned. The Emperor's inner chamber was usually forbidden to the imperial concubines, but Wei Yi generously allowed it. It was clear that Lord Ji was very important to him.
Ji Yunshu didn't think too much about it. At that moment, her whole body was trembling, and her head was a little dizzy.
When she entered the inner chamber to change her clothes, two palace maids followed her inside to serve her.
"No need."
"But Lord Ji …"
"I'm not used to being served."
She closed the door.
This was the first time she entered Wei Yi's room. The Emperor's bedroom was not as spacious as the bedrooms of rich families, but it was clean and simple. There were only a few ordinary items.
She changed out of her wet men's clothes and untied the silver clasp on her hair. Her long hair fell over her shoulders and fell down. In addition to the women's clothes, she looked like a lotus flower emerging from the water, exuding a pure and elegant aura.
Just as she was about to go out, she caught a glimpse of a book placed on the bedside.
It was somewhat familiar.
She went forward and saw that it was the 'Yunshu's Record' that she had left in the Jinjiang County yamen. But, why was it with Wei Yi?
Moreover, it was well protected.
She wanted to pick it up, but the moment her hand touched the book, she froze. In the end, she withdrew her hand.
She left the inner chamber.
She didn't know where Wei Yi had changed his clothes, but he was waiting for her in the hall. He had already ordered someone to prepare a bowl of ginger soup.
"Drink some ginger soup to warm up. Don't catch a cold."
But she put it down after a few mouthfuls.
Suddenly …
She thought of something and asked, "Oh right, how's Nanny Zhang recently? The last time I visited her, she wasn't feeling well. She kept coughing and even coughed up blood. "
Wei Yi replied, "The imperial physicians from the palace have visited her a few times. They all said that she's getting on in years and it's inevitable that her body isn't feeling well. That's why she's been taking supplements."
She sighed softly, "Sigh …"
However, a question surfaced in Wei Yi's mind. "Oh right, there's actually something that I haven't been able to figure out. When I was locked up in the palace by Prince Yi, why did Nanny Zhang come to save me? She's Jing Rong's Imperial Mother's wet nurse. How could she know who I am? "
That's right! Why?
When the Imperial Duke rebelled in Ji Mountain, Ji Yunshu didn't mention this.
She pointed a finger at Wei Yi's neck.
"My neck?"
"Not your neck. It's the petal-shaped birthmark on the back of your neck."
"Birthmark?" He touched it with his hand. "Is it related to my birthmark?"
"Do you still remember when you met Nanny Zhang when Jing Xuan brought you into the palace? She was very surprised when she saw your birthmark."
"I remember." "After Jing Rong's Imperial Mother passed away, Nanny Zhang stayed in the palace. Not long after, your mother had a difficult labor, and many imperial physicians were helpless. The Imperial Duke knew that Nanny Zhang used to be a midwife, so he took her out of the palace to help your Imperial Mother deliver the baby. That's how he found out about the petal-shaped birthmark on the back of your neck.
But he didn't expect that the next day, the Imperial Duke announced that you and your mother had passed away. Nanny Zhang thought that you were dead, so she was surprised when she saw you. "
"I see."
