Jiang Yu stared at Wei Yi Yi. Like any other day, she smiled at him while expressing concern and voicing out good will.

Clearly, her words were sincere. But his mind perceives a different meaning. Like she's hurrying for him to work so that she'll be rid of him.

Was it because they were fighting that he has become irrational in his sensitivity?

"Then… Zhen will tell you something after the situation eases," Jiang Yu retreated in reluctance.

"Hold on." Wei Yi Yi was quick to stop him. "What kind of talk needs a cliffhanger?! You'll give me anxiety!"

Jiang Yu pursed his lips and eyed Wei Yi Yi with a silent plea, hoping it could move her closer. "Yi Yi, what is making you angry?"

"I am not?"

Because if she is, Jiang Yu won't be able to face her in peace. And she means it in both physical and mental. 

Why would Lan Zhuang insist that she have anger issues? Was it not exactly because their group of guys can't squeak a single sound when innocent her turn demoness.

In reality, Wei Yi Yi's anger died out in the middle, right after Jiang Yu pointed out that they are married. It shocked her enough that her brain went offline.  

"Then…" Jiang Yu tried to touch Wei Yi Yi. Thought twice, then retreated. He pinched his other hand, one time then twice, before he was able to continue. 

"No matter what Zhen thinks of it, Zhen does not understand what the Empress is insisting. Zhen already promised to be a proper couple with you and have a child. This emperor would even promise you, if it's a son, he'll be the crown prince."

"Your majesty, chenqie also does not understand what you are insisting."

Liars go to hell, and Wei Yi Yi will be going riding a roller coaster in free fall.

She only heard of one night stand, casual flings, and friends with benefit. Never of casually deciding to have a child nor pregnancy as the benefit. 

With the way Jiang Yu insisting on their label these past few days, it's as clear as Xie Yu's shiny forehead that he sees her in that light! Counting her as one of his bed warmer! 

Cough! I mean he has feelings for me. She'll at least acknowledge his proper feelings.

But in this world, she has long known how powerless the words 'i love you' is.

Jiang Yu perceived her cooling expression and felt ill at ease. He was in between wanting to retreat and struggling to get close.

"You… Just what is upsetting you, really? Is it having a consort birth the first child? Then we will have Consort Shen's child be given to you to raise. Isn't that good? Or we'll have the young prince properly adopted under you. That way, wouldn't you have the oldest child?"

"There's no need for His Majesty to be this concern. The one who you should assure is your treasured wife, Consort Ye. Yi Yi is but your humble empress."

"The Imperial Noble Consort is Zhen's wife. But the empress is also Zhen's wife! Wei Yi Yi you are Jiang Yu's wife!"


"In Yi Yi's eyes, you are my Boss, my superior, His Majesty, the esteemed emperor, and…" In the face of Jiang Yu's frantic emotion, Wei Yi Yi smiled softly. "Only that. Nothing more."

Her smile was so calm it carried a shade of indifference.

Modern people show their liberation in casual entanglements while they guard their hearts, only letting one person enter.

Here, they are liberated in their hearts, favoring anyone that touched their inner self, while they guard their bodies.

Both having fun in their short lived happiness.

And both she can live without.

"Do you know the weight of your words?! If---if others hear it, they will…they will think that the empress does not have Zhen in her heart." Jiang Yu was perplexed and whispering at the end.

"Yi Yi does have Your Majesty in her heart." Wei Yi Yi happily assured her boss, however, it did not spark joy in Jiang Yu, as in the end, she remained heartless. "But I no longer search for your traces in the bustling crowd."

"Wei Yi Yi…" Jiang Yu called out and almost threw himself at her. Cupping her face, he insisted on his own stubbornness. "You are my wife. Yi Yi, you can't do that. Aren't we just fine? Yi Yi? Why are you suddenly like this?"

Wei Yi Yi glanced at the ceiling, asking the gods for guidance, or maybe a strike of lightning for enlightenment. Her rarely used last three brain cells, they're dying, ah!

Talking isn't fixing this, then being a jerk must be the right path! 

She'll squarely tell him that she swings both ways. With a bat. One that's pretty solid. Right into the face! No, no. It's a strike to his balls!

Boss is looking for abuse, ah! Mother! This bro doesn't want to accompany him in this play.

"Why is it that even now, you make it so painful looking at you?" 

The pitch in his voice resembled a choke. 

This great ancestor! You are not actually going to cry, right?! Scared the soul right out of me!

Now everything's awkward!

"You are not wrong Your Majesty. The scale of our relationship was just fine. Chenqie thinks it would be the best to retain our excellent alliance. As for things related to the heart, this servant is really hopeless and could only lend an ear." Wei Yi Yi immediately used her fleeing skill.

For added effects, she was gaining distance as she talked. Jiang Yu weren't able to stop Wei Yi Yi who's already at the doors when she asked to be excused.

She barely stepped outside when she met the young prince.

"Greetings to both Your Majesties. Chen'er thanks for your safe return."

The empress stopped the young prince in giving a full bow. 

"Ah Chen," Wei Yi Yi naturally held his hand and called out with delight. "Did you come here to welcome me?"

Their interaction successfully gained the emperor's irk. His eyes turned red with jealousy.

Jiang Yu instructed Xiao Lin Xi, loud enough for everyone to hear. "The young prince had grown up enough to be a young man. It is improper that he resides within the empress' inner courtyard. Have the servants return the imperial nephew to his Moon Palace." 

Clearly, Wei Yi Yi is his wife. Clearly, they should be having their own child. Why is it that she takes care of other people's children while rejecting her own?
