Who would raise a villain as a wife?

Cen Li glanced at the memorial paper that He Yunjing dropped, reached out to pick it up and put it away, then got up and went outside. Soon new hot water was brought in. The weather was not too hot at this time, so Cen Li just washed up briefly and told someone to go down.

He Yunjing sat beside the bed and waited, but after waiting for a long time, he saw Cen Li turn around and walk towards the soft couch beside the bed.

Ah this...

Don't you want to sleep with him?

He Yunjing thought, forget it, just take it step by step.

The two of them rested separately. The candles in the room had been blown out, leaving only the lights outside the hall still on, with a little light coming in through the paper windows.

He Yunjing fell asleep quickly, but was awakened by a slight noise some time later.

He opened his eyes, sat up and pulled aside the bed curtains. Sure enough, he saw a blurry figure beside the bed, who seemed to be putting on shoes.

He glanced at the time. It was still very early. He asked, "What are you doing so early?"

The sudden voice made Cen Li pause. He ignored He Yunjing's question, put on his shoes, and walked out.

He Yunjing also felt that he could use a night's sleep, so he got out of bed and followed.

He caught up with Cen Li outside the palace and said casually, "Let's go together."

The footsteps in front of him stopped, and Cen Li's emotionless voice came, "It's in the bedroom, Your Majesty, please return."

"If you're here, why are you coming out? Are you bored?" He Yunjing was puzzled, but after taking a step forward and seeing Cen Li's expression, he shut up tactfully.

He forgot that Cen Li was now a eunuch, a disabled person, there would always be some differences between him and how could he let others see it.

He Yunjing pursed his lips and stopped too. He thought for a moment, then took out the pill and handed it over. His love for his wife came back again, and he was reluctant to let Cen Li become a eunuch.

Such an action surprised Cen Li a little. He lowered his eyes and looked at the pill. The color, aroma and fragrance were no different from those he had seen before.

He reached out and took it, and asked curiously, "Didn't you ask me to wait?"

"I'm going to give it to you anyway, so it doesn't matter if it's earlier." He Yunjing saw him holding the pill and didn't understand and said, "Don't worry, it's not poison. It won't do me any good to harm you, but you have to remember the deal, don't burn the bridge after crossing the river and ignore me again. I'm not him, and if you don't respect me, I will really beat you up."

Cen Li raised an eyebrow, "Disrespect you?"

"Respectful?" He Yunjing took a step forward and leaned against the pillar, crossing his arms over his chest. "There's not even a pot of hot water this early in the morning. I won't say anything until I serve you tea. At least be respectful. You're rolling your eyes."

Cen Li hummed, picked up the pill, wrapped it in a handkerchief and stuffed it into his arms.

He Yunjing asked him unexpectedly, "You don't want to eat?"

Cen Li walked forward without saying a word. This magical medicine might be useful to Rong Nian, so he had to try it no matter what.

But He Yunjing didn't know what he was thinking. He stepped forward and grabbed Cen Li's hand, "Are you afraid that I will poison you?"

Cen Li turned to look at him and explained, "I have other uses."

"More important than yourself?!" He Yunjing couldn't believe it. "This pill can grow bones. I only have two of them. If you give them to others, you will have none left. Do you want to be a disabled person for the rest of your life?"

There wasn't much emotion on Cen Li's face, but his eyes were firm, which had a great impact on He Yunjing.

He asked angrily, "Who are you going to give it to?!"

He Yunjing was a little panicked. He was not afraid of how bad the identity of the soul fragment was, or how bad his personality was. In fact, what he was most afraid of after all these times was that the soul fragment already had someone in his heart before he came.

Especially in Cen Li's current situation, after going through so many things, his feelings must be deep. How can he compare with others?

If the two people in love have already promised each other something, then he would be the third party. Even if Cen Li chooses him, Cen Li would be a heartless person.

Cen Li still didn't answer. He pulled his hand out and continued to move forward. He had already got what he wanted and would keep his promise, so there was no need for him to explain everything clearly.

He Yunjing was unwilling to give up. He directly asked the system to take the pill back, along with the handkerchief wrapped in Cen Li.

He Yunjing waved it in front of him and said, "If you don't tell me the result, you can forget about it!"

After saying that, He Yunjing turned around and went back. After he solved his problem with the toilet in the bedroom, he sat angrily beside the bed waiting for Cen Li to come back.

But Cen Li came back in a few minutes, and he looked unhappy, as if blaming He Yunjing for going back on his word.

But He Yunjing didn't care. He lifted his legs and climbed onto the bed, patting the spot beside him. "Come up and tell me clearly before I can consider whether to give it to you."

Cen Li pursed her lips and hesitated for a while before finally choosing to get on the couch and lie side by side with He Yunjing.

He Yunjing asked him, "Who did you ask for the medicine for? What is your relationship with him?"

Cen Li clenched his fist at his side and said, "Rong Nian is your aunt. If the Cen family hadn't suffered that incident, your mother would have been my sister-in-law."

He Yunjing turned his head sharply, "So you kept him not because you wanted a puppet emperor, but because of his mother?"

"Yes!" Cen Li answered truthfully, "Rong Nian's face was destroyed, and the wound was so deep that the imperial physician said it was impossible to heal. She is a woman, and even if she is determined, she still cares. The Cen family owes Rong Zhu too much, and I can no longer keep Rong Zhu's only child, so I should protect her only sister."

Cen Li's tone was calm, but He Yunjing could clearly hear the bitterness beneath the calmness.

He turned his head slowly and asked the system, "What is the relationship between Cen Li and Rong Zhu?"

[Rong Zhu and Cen Feng have been childhood sweethearts and have been engaged since they were young. The year when the Cen family encountered the accident was supposed to be their wedding. Not long after the accident, Rong Zhu entered the palace and took good care of Cen Li in private.

But the good times didn't last long. Rong Zhu was favored by the emperor overnight and had an heir. However, due to her status, she was only given the title of a minor beauty. Rong Zhu was sentenced to death for protecting Cen Li, who owed her a favor. Her original body had been trapped in the cold palace because Cen Li didn't want to involve him.

Until the night of forcing the emperor to abdicate, Cen Li killed all the royal bloodline and left only the original body, because he sincerely wanted to support the original body to become the emperor.

But the original body was too disappointing and didn't have the ability at all. Instead, he turned over and indulged in pleasure. The extravagance in the palace was also the original body's masterpiece. 】

After hearing what the system said, He Yunjing fell into a brief silence. He frowned and turned sideways to look at Cen Li, "Do you blame me for occupying his body and feel sorry for Rong Zhu?"

Cen Li said nothing. He had indeed blamed someone, but he did not blame He Yunjing. He blamed himself.

It was his selfishness that caused Rongzhu's death, and even Rongzhu's child became a waste. He could neither teach nor keep her.

He Yunjing is different now. He has the talent to govern the country and also has the blood of Rongzhu. If He Yunjing can sit firmly on the throne, he may be able to deceive himself.

After waiting for a long time without receiving an answer, He Yunjing took Cen Li's hand and held it tightly, "Take me to see her tomorrow. I can't do anything about the dead, but the living can always keep them safe."

Cen Li's eyelashes trembled, and he instinctively shook hands with her. Realizing that the hands were being held, Cen Li quickly loosened them, said thank you in a hoarse voice, and was about to get up and leave.
