Tribulation
Chapter 16
By the time Runyu woke up, the aroma of Ruifeng was strong all around, the hibiscus canopy was warm, and the several candles on the lanterns were flickering, illuminating the interior of the room just right. They could see clearly, but they did not lose the hazy charm and gentle charm.
Such a delicate atmosphere naturally meant that he was in Prince Yi's manor, and at this time, there was someone holding him in his arms with their fingers intertwined. Other than Xufeng, there was no one else who could have thought of it.
But the fragrance of the incense on the clothes hit him in the face and made him want to vomit.
"Awake?" Sensing that his breathing was strange, Xufeng immediately knew that he was awake. "Are you still uncomfortable?"
“
He was very gentle, which made Run Yu feel a little uncomfortable. This was a different person from His Highness Prince Yi, who was usually arrogant and despotic.
His waist and abdomen were faintly sore, but it wasn't as painful as before. His clothes weren't changed, and there was no blood. The child should be fine.
Run Yu's heart was a little relieved, but he felt that Xufeng was holding him tighter.
"I was really afraid that something would happen to you …" Xufeng was rarely depressed. He leaned on Run Yu's shoulder and whispered in his ear, full of regret. "I really shouldn't be angry with you and give the Empress a chance to intervene."
Run Yu was stunned. Thinking of the situation in the palace just now, he knew that Xufeng had misunderstood. "The Empress didn't do anything to me."
Xufeng was also stunned. "Then why did she summon you?"
But just as he asked, he remembered the intimate shape of Jin Mi and Run Yu just now, and immediately understood.
"Hmph, so it's because she likes Shaoqing's elegance and wants to find a husband for the princess. That's even more hateful!" He was holding Run Yu from behind, and now he was biting his shoulder childishly.
Run Yu's shoulder was painful and itchy, and his body trembled. He sighed. "Even if I had any thoughts before, I'm afraid I've already given up.
Your Highness carried me all the way out of the palace, and those gossipy eunuchs spread the news. In less than a day, the whole court will know that you and I are different. How can the Empress marry the princess to a person with an unclear background like me? "
"That's the best!" Xufeng was still angry.
He hated that he couldn't stamp Run Yu from head to toe with the seal of Prince Yi's Manor, so that no one would dare to move a finger on him and have any evil thoughts.
Knowing his nature, Run Yu had no choice but to change the topic. "Your Highness, how did you know where I was?"
"Naturally, it was the Grand Commandant who told me that I was waiting for you at the Grand Commandant's mansion."
"You've seen Father?" Run Yu was shocked again.
"Of course. We even had a few drinks together and chatted for a while."
"What did you say?"
Seeing Run Yu's nervous face, Xufeng couldn't help but have a mischievous thought. He giggled and said, "Guess?"
"Be serious!" Run Yu couldn't help but get angry.
Xufeng stared blankly for a moment, but he silently cursed. This person's temper is getting worse and worse these days. He must have been spoiled by this prince.
Even so, when he thought of Run Yu's unwell body, Xufeng didn't dare to tease him anymore. "I think the Grand Commandant seemed to have seen some clues, but he didn't say it out loud.
I told him that I would treat you well and wouldn't let you down. The Grand Commandant didn't say anything, but he didn't seem to object either. "
Run Yu's brows were deeply furrowed. He wasn't as optimistic as he was. "Father's thoughts are deep. Even I can't guess what he's thinking. How do you know?" He was inexplicably worried and irritated, but he didn't know where this worry came from.
Xufeng looked at him for a long time and suddenly sighed deeply. "I also can't guess what you're thinking. I don't know what illness you have, but you've been hiding it from me.
This medicine is very strange. I asked the imperial physicians to examine it, but they didn't know what it was made of. "
Seeing the medicine pouch in Xufeng's hand, Run Yu's face suddenly changed. "Give it back!" He snatched it back and retreated. He actually lost control of himself.
Xufeng's suspicions grew. He rushed forward to support Run Yu. With a worried expression, he said, "No matter how serious it is, you can't hide it from me."
Seeing this, Run Yu's heart warmed and he felt guilty.
He didn't mean to hide it. It was just that before this, he hadn't completely accepted the fact that he was pregnant. It wasn't until today when he felt the pain in his stomach and thought that he was going to lose it that he regretted not being more careful and not being able to protect him.
Now that Xufeng asked, perhaps it was the right time to tell him.
However, if he told Xufeng that he was pregnant, he was afraid that he would be scared.
After thinking for a long time, Run Yu took a deep breath and carefully said, "If I said that I'm not an ordinary man, what would you do?"
Xufeng's brows furrowed into a deep knot. "If you're not a man, could it be a woman?
If it's a woman, then that's even better. Tomorrow, I'll go report to Father Emperor and betroth you to me. This way, no one will say anything. "
"I'm talking about serious matters!"
Seeing that Run Yu was about to get angry again, Xufeng hurriedly waved his hands in surrender. "Let's talk about serious matters. Say it, I'm listening."
As if he had noticed that he had been losing control of himself recently, Run Yu took a deep breath and suppressed the irritation in his heart. He coughed lightly and said, "I'm not a woman. It's just … it's just that I'm destined to be different from ordinary people. Are you afraid of this?"
Xufeng was puzzled, but he saw that Run Yu's expression was serious. In order to comfort him, he pretended to be relaxed and said, "You're not this, and you're not that. Could it be that you're some kind of immortal that descended to the mortal world to repay my kindness?"
Hearing him say this, Run Yu suddenly thought of the immortal's words. He actually thought that this was the case.
"What if … I'm really like this?"
Xufeng couldn't help but laugh. "Then you'll have to give birth to eight or ten babies for me first. Then we'll talk about repaying the kindness …"
"You …"
Run Yu had just said the word "you" when he felt a surge of nausea surge up in his throat. He didn't have time to push Xufeng away and actually vomited on him.
Caught off guard by this revenge, Xufeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Since entering the palace in the afternoon, Run Yu had been surrounded by the rich fragrance of cosmetics for half a day. His chest had long since been filled with nausea, but he forcefully suppressed it.
Now that he was angry with Xufeng, the anger that had accumulated for half a day came out again. He couldn't hold it in any longer and vomited it all out.
But this vomiting didn't matter. The nausea was like a flood that had opened the floodgates and was difficult to stop for a while.
In the end, he couldn't vomit anything and continued to retch.
Seeing that Run Yu's eyes were red and brimming with tears, Xufeng was really annoyed. He knew that he was sick, but he really shouldn't have let his temper run its course and spouted nonsense.
The maids who had heard the commotion surrounded Run Yu to wipe away his sweat. It only made it seem that the main culprit of this disaster had nowhere to go.
Xufeng was so anxious that he paced back and forth. His Highness Prince Yi, who had never served anyone before, also began to serve tea.
Run Yu pushed him away and indicated that he should go change his clothes.
Xufeng knew that he was apologetic and that he was obsessed with cleanliness, so he obeyed and left.
When he returned, Run Yu gradually stopped vomiting. He drank the tea and rinsed his mouth before leaning back on the pillow to rest.
After dismissing the miscellaneous people, Xufeng sat down in front of Run Yu. He grabbed his hand and said solemnly, "No matter what kind of illness it is, I won't abandon you. You must tell me the truth."
Run Yu pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment before finally saying in a low voice, "I don't have eight out of ten, but … I do have one."
Xufeng was stunned for a moment before he understood the meaning of his words. "You mean … you're really pregnant?"
Seeing Run Yu nod hesitantly, Xufeng felt that it was a bit real. "So, you fainted because you were pregnant?"
"Yes."
"Then, you were vomiting just now because you're pregnant?"
"How many times do you want me to say it?" Run Yu said angrily.
Xufeng suddenly laughed foolishly like a father for the first time. He was happy for a moment, but he couldn't help but worry. "Then what about this Dan?
What does this Dan do? "
"I'm pregnant as a man. This Dan was given to me by an immortal to keep me safe."
"So that's how it is." Xufeng was completely relieved.
He wanted to hug Run Yu, but he was afraid of making him uncomfortable again. He didn't know where to touch.
Run Yu was amused and laughed. He pulled Xufeng's hands and placed them on his lower abdomen.
The soft heat spread from his palms to his heart. Xufeng couldn't help but lean over and kiss Run Yu's warm lips. He pried them open and deepened the kiss.
Run Yu was kissed until his body went soft. He couldn't control himself, but he suddenly remembered the immortal's instructions and pushed him away.
"You can't —"
Xu Feng looked at the other party with an awkward expression. Her lower body was already burning with passion, but this large basin of cold water was poured over her, extinguishing the fire in an instant.
"The immortal said … we can't do it."
Xufeng sighed helplessly.
Since it was the immortal's instructions and for Run Yu's sake, he naturally didn't dare to act recklessly.
But Xufeng wasn't willing to be unable to touch him for a long time, so he said angrily, "Then you have to let me hug you the whole night."
Run Yu shook his head and smiled. Naturally, he let him be.
