She thought, even though she didn't like what the Empress Dowager said, but if she really insisted on doing this... Ayu would be really embarrassed...
It’s not just her, Ji Xili, that he has to face, he also has to answer to the civil and military officials of the court...
The person who embarrassed him was his only wife... His queen... She, Ji Xili...
Can she really be that selfish...
Ji Xili was carried back to the palace by him.
Sheng Zhiyu's face was not good-looking, and his face lines were tight, looking a bit stern. He even lifted her skirt up to her knees and saw the redness and swelling on her knees and legs. His lips moved slightly.
Ji Xili gently grabbed his finger and told him not to be angry.
But Sheng Zhiyu raised his eyes and stared at her angrily. After a while, he said calmly: "I can't bear to punish you by kneeling down."
The implication was that he was reluctant to torment Ji Xili like this. How dare the Empress Dowager do this to Ji Xili...
After hearing this, Ji Xili felt helpless and comforted him in a low voice: "I'm really fine."
Sheng Zhiyu didn't know whether he heard it or not, so he ignored her and ordered someone to find some ointment. He applied the ointment to Ji Xili's knees and legs with extremely gentle movements.
Ji Xili lowered his head and watched Sheng Zhiyu applying the medicine to him. His slender fingers and engrossing gaze deeply attracted him.
Ji Xili looked at it for a long time, stretched out his fingers, and gently held his fingers.
Sheng Zhiyu paused slightly, raised his eyes, and met Ji Xili's eyes.
"What's wrong?" Sheng Zhiyu looked at her without blinking.
"Do you know why the Queen Mother is angry with me?"
It was not difficult for Sheng Zhiyu to guess what the emperor's grandmother would say to Ji Xili, so he frowned and said to her: "Xili, no matter what the emperor's grandmother said to you, it doesn't mean that it was my intention. You understand. ?"
When Ji Xili heard what he said, she knew that Sheng Zhiyu knew something. She nodded slightly, but couldn't help but hold her fingers tightly and said to him, "Can you do it?"
Sheng Zhiyu was slightly startled: "What?"
"Will you marry another woman?" Ji Xili's eyes were a little confused, as if he was worried about such a problem for the first time.
She couldn't explain her feelings at that moment, maybe because she never thought that she would have such a day, and she would be afraid that Sheng Zhiyu would have another woman.
Sheng Zhiyu looked at her angrily, "Xili, do you think I will marry another woman?"
"If something like this happened, I was afraid that you... would dislike me..." Ji Xili lowered his head and whispered.
Although she knew that she had never done anything to offend Sheng Zhiyu, the Empress Dowager and even outsiders did not think so. Perhaps in the minds of many officials, the queen Sheng Zhiyu married , has already been touched by others, only Sheng Zhiyu, a fool, still wants her to be his queen.
Sheng Zhiyu frowned and stared at her and said, "I will kill all those who harmed you. If Xili is still upset, I will also kill these people who came out of nowhere to prevent Xili from thinking wildly."
Ji Xili bit his lip and breathed uncomfortably for a while. His tone also sounded quite emotional, "What do you mean... I'm not thinking nonsense. It's your imperial grandmother who insists that I'm sorry for you. I...why am I sorry for you..."
