The mistress just wanted to be bad, but she took off after being replaced

"I'm sorry to bother you to make this trip in person, father-in-law."

Sheng Junwei handed over another beautifully crafted amulet, "Please be sure to carry it with you. It can block a fatal blow at a critical moment."

Eunuch Yu stared at the amulet, a light flashing in his eyes.

Everyone still remembers that thrilling assassination vividly.

The assassin was following closely. At the critical moment, Meng risked her life to save the emperor and used Zhang's body as a shield. However, she didn't expect that the assassin's sharp blade was blocked by an invisible barrier several feet away when it touched the corner of Zhang's clothes. Even the assassin was bounced away by the force.

The scene that day was so shocking that from then on, no one dared to question the magic of the legendary amulet.

talisman?

joke?

What is really ridiculous are those ignorant questioners!

As for why Madam Pei was injured...

Didn't she explain it?

The assassin's inner strength is unfathomable!

Even women who live in seclusion know that martial arts masters have extraordinary abilities. Those with deep internal strength can shatter rocks with a wave of their hands. It is not surprising that a mere shield would be shattered in front of them.

Alas, today, having the good fortune to meet such a top master, like the assassin leader, is indeed more difficult than climbing to the sky!

Those who once sneered at the Pei family now seemed to be regretting their actions.

If they had known that the magical item owned by the Pei family was so efficacious and effective, they would have rushed to establish a relationship with the Pei family, even if it was only for the slightest possibility of protection.

In this way, wouldn’t it be easy to get a protective bracelet from the Pei family?

Eunuch Yu was secretly itching to get a piece of the treasure, but he never dared to dream that he would get any.

After all, in this palace as deep as the sea, good luck would not easily come to a little eunuch.

However, things are unpredictable. The generous young lady of the Sheng family generously gave him an extremely precious amulet.

Eunuch Yu's eyes revealed incredible excitement, and he carefully hid the amulet close to his body.

Pei Yu stared at the scene with a complex and changing look, showing surprise and confusion.

Especially when he saw Eunuch Yu's cherishing actions, he felt mixed emotions and simply turned his head away, unwilling to watch any further for fear of revealing his emotions.

After sending Eunuch Yu away, he immediately ordered his servants to move all the gold and rare medicinal materials rewarded by the royal family to Yunyi Pavilion.

He turned to the slightly pale Sheng Junwei and said gently: "During this period of time, you should not go to the noisy canteen. The small kitchen is ready for you at any time. Just tell me what you want to eat. You need to take good care of your body."

Sheng Junwei pursed her lips and wanted to mention the incident that happened a few days ago, but she didn't get the chance to speak.

Zhang turned to Pei Yu and said, "Why are you still standing there? Send your wife back to Yunyi Pavilion to rest."

Pei Yu had no objection and remained silent.

Sheng Junwei felt mixed emotions and was speechless.

In a blink of an eye, the sedan chair stopped outside the gate of Yunyi Pavilion.

As soon as Sheng Junwei got out of the sedan chair, Pei Yu approached her impatiently, intending to pick her up.

However, at this moment, Sheng Junwei's self-defense magic weapon was activated sensitively, and Pei Yu was bounced away by an invisible force and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

Pei Yu looked somewhat dejected, his black hair scattered on his shoulders due to his previous actions. He lay on his side with his long hair covering half of his face, making it difficult to see his expression.

At that moment, an indescribable heaviness and depression emanated from his entire body.

"You..." Sheng Junwei frowned slightly.

Pei Yu quickly stood up, brushed off the dust on his clothes, and explained casually: "I just saw that you had difficulty walking, so I wanted to help you."

"Don't bother, I can do it myself."

Faced with Pei Yu's perfunctory attitude, Sheng Junwei had no intention of delving into it. She supported Yunying and walked straight into Yunyi Pavilion, leaving Pei Yu standing there with a blank look in his eyes.

"Miss, what happened to my uncle? He looks weird."

Yunying looked at Pei Yu, who was standing outside the door like a stone statue, and was full of doubts.

Sheng Junwei shrugged lightly: "Who knows, maybe he is confused himself."

Realizing that Sheng Junwei didn't take it to heart, Yun Ying stopped worrying and instead looked at her young lady's pale face with distress: "She was fine, how did it become like this? Does it still hurt?"

Sheng Junwei gently stroked the wound on her abdomen and forced a smile: "How can an injury not hurt? But it's still within the tolerable range and it's much better now."

For her, the physical pain is nothing compared to the mental pressure and the constraints brought by the cage of marriage.

If she could break free from the shackles of this suffocating marriage, she would be willing to endure it even if it stabbed her heart again.

Yunying's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she was full of self-blame: "It's all because of my incompetence that the young lady has to suffer."

Sheng Junwei comforted her sympathetically: "You were not there at the time, how can I blame you?"

Yun Ying's nose was sore, and she tried hard to hold back her tears: "It is precisely because of my incompetence that I cannot accompany the young lady into the palace. If I were here, I would never let the young lady get hurt. Even if it was a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, I would be the first to stop it."

"Alright, alright." Sheng Junwei gently touched Yunying's nose, which was red from nervousness, with her fingertips. There was a hint of doting in her action: "Look, you're almost turning into a little red carrot, but I'm still standing here, okay?"

Her words were gentle but contained an unquestionable calming force: "Don't worry, no one in this world can really touch me except God, no matter how strong the wind and waves are."

"Even if there is any pain, it is a destined experience and we have to face it." Her eyes were deep.

When Yunying heard this, she was suddenly surprised and confused.

The lady would actually choose to endure the harm on her own initiative?

There must be some insurmountable difficulties that forced the young lady to make such a helpless choice, exchanging injuries for a way out and seeking relief.

But is this sacrifice really worth it?

Can that unattainable goal really be achieved in this way?

Yunying was worried. If she ended up with only scars all over her body and what she wanted was still far from being achieved, how could such a smart and clever lady not seem too sad?

While thinking, an untimely gurgling sound came from Sheng Junwei's abdomen, breaking the atmosphere of meditation: "Yunying, I'm so hungry that my chest is sticking to my back."

Yunying had a gentle smile on her face: "The kitchen has already prepared the porridge. I'll bring it to you right away."

Sheng Junwei tried to force a smile: "I really don't want to drink that bland porridge anymore. I want to eat meat, cakes and seafood."

The monotonous and repetitive white porridge in the palace life day after day almost brought her to the brink of collapse.

However, the imperial physician issued a strict dietary ban, allowing only easy-to-digest porridge.
