The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

There was no floor heating in the main hall of Zhongcui Palace. The braziers on the east and west sides were burning brightly, making crackling sounds from time to time.

Chen Hang watched his wife fall to the ground. Her body twitched twice and blood gushed out of all her orifices. Her death was miserable and horrific.

Even those who had fought in the bloody battlefield couldn't help but take a step back, with too many complex emotions flashing in their eyes.

Imperial Noble Consort Chen stood up from the bed, slowly stepped down from the platform, and raised her eyes to meet her father's angry gaze.

"The family glory of the Chen family, the person who has been by your side for many years... from the moment your father stepped into the Zhongcui Palace of this palace, haven't you made your choice?"

There was a flash of mockery in her eyes, "Why do you have to act like this? If you couldn't bear to part with Chen Wu, you wouldn't have brought her to my Zhongcui Palace."

Just like before, he chose the Wu family over his mother and Chen Wu. And now, for the sake of greater benefits, he gave up the person who had been by his side for so many years.

Chen Hang stood there, his thin body slightly bent, his cheeks clenched tightly, "Your Majesty, don't forget what you promised me just now."

Imperial Concubine Chen seemed to have not heard his words. She lowered her head and looked at Chen Wu's body. "My mother was emaciated when she died, but the blood she vomited was hot."

Her voice trembled slightly, as if she was recalling the pain of the past.

Chen Hang's face turned pale, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out from his teeth, "It's been so long, and now you have avenged your mother!"

"That year I had just lost my child and hadn't recovered from the grief yet, but you were in a hurry to send your young daughter to the palace. You used a face similar to mine, dressed up as me when I was young, and seduced the late emperor. Have you ever thought about my feelings?"

A strange look flashed across Consort Chen's eyes. She turned around and said in a cold and resolute voice, "Father, please go back. I will remember what I promised the Chen family."

Her mother’s revenge was achieved, but her child died… She was a person who would spend her future with the secluded Buddha and the ancient Buddha, so what did the rise and fall of the Chen family have to do with her!

……

It was still dark at the hour of Mao, and all the light in the room came from the candlelight on the table, with a hazy glow in the bed curtains.

Master Jiang Wu turned sideways and saw Jin Chu sleeping soundly. He gently held her hand and placed it on the brocade quilt with extremely gentle movements.

Then he turned around, lifted the bed curtain and got out of bed.

Bai Shao saw the Fifth Master getting up in the morning and standing there with hesitation in his eyes, not knowing whether he should wake up his wife.

Madam clearly told me last night to wake her up.

Master Jiang Wu lowered his voice and ordered, "Madam is asleep, don't wake her up."

Bai Shao lowered her eyes and looked down at her feet, bent her body and agreed without saying a word.

Gu Jinchu opened her eyes. The warmth under the brocade fur coat beside her was still there. She lifted the bed curtain and saw the hem of Fifth Master's clothes disappear behind the partition.

Bai Shao came over and whispered to her, "The Fifth Master went to wash up. It was the Fifth Master who didn't let me wake you up..."

Gu Jinchu hugged the brocade fur coat against his chest and slowly sat up.

Today is different from the past. Normally, she would not help the Fifth Master get up and wash, but today is the day when the new emperor ascends the throne, so she cannot be careless.

The temperature was low in the morning, and Bai Shao helped her put on a stand-up collar, light blue quilted jacket and skirt.

The color is plain, and the cuffs are trimmed with light-colored satin, which makes it simple, dignified, and fresh.

After washing his hands, Gu Jinchu ordered the servants to go to the small kitchen and bring over the breakfast prepared for the Fifth Master.

Soon, Bai Zhi and her maids came in one after another.

The wound on the side of Baizhi's ear had already scabbed over. In order to avoid it being unsightly, she combed her double buns lower, and the hanging ring bun just covered the scab.

She handed the blue and white stone tea flower pattern bowl to her master, "Madam, please fill your stomach first."

The small bowl of steaming milk and bird's nest soup was about to be finished. Master Jiang Wu, who had gone to the bathroom to wash up, returned to the inner room.

He saw his wife, who had been sleeping soundly just now, was now sitting on the bed, looking at him with a smile on her face.

Master Jiang Wu walked over, took the small bowl from her hand and placed it on the table beside her. He helped her stand up and asked her softly, "Did I wake you up?"

Gu Jinchu stood beside him with a smile. On the long table at the side was the court dress that Master Jiang Wu would wear today.

She bowed slightly and said, "I am here to help the Dali Temple Minister get dressed for court."

The sly smile on Gu Jinchu's delicate and fair face startled Master Jiang Wu.

Then, undisguised fondness welled up in his eyes, and he cupped his hands in a gentle and elegant manner, saying in a low voice: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Madam."

After he finished speaking, Master Jiang Wu, who was wearing a plain inner garment, opened his arms, lowered his eyes and stared at her, his eyes full of expectation.

Gu Jinchu heard the peach powder behind him and nodded with a smile: "Okay."

She raised her hand and picked up the white gauze midi with a green collar, put it on him, and lowered her head slightly to tie the straps on the side of her waist; the green-edged red silk skirt required Gu Jinchu to stretch out his arms, wrap them around his thin waist, cross them from behind his waist, and then tie the straps around the front of his body and tie a slipknot.

Master Jiang Wu's eyes were deep, and his gaze moved from the top of her head to her slender and flexible fingertips in front of her.

Gu Jinchu noticed the changes in his body, bit her lower lip lightly, raised her head and looked at him coquettishly, "Fifth Master, you..."

The light blue stand-up collar of her dress made her jade-white neck disappear beneath the collar.

This appearance, however, arouses more imagination and stirs people's heartstrings.

It makes people unable to resist the strong urge to explore the attractive scenery in the hidden place.

Master Jiang Wu's Adam's apple rolled, and his eyes reluctantly moved away from her. The corners of his lips curled slightly, and his voice was hoarse, "Jin Chu... You know, I can't control it either."

His eyes were dark and deep, with desire and restraint intertwined in them.

Next, when he was tying his knee guard and leather belt, Gu Jinchu felt that the rise and fall of Fifth Master's chest when he breathed was about to touch her cheek.

Above her head, his breath was hot, causing her heart to beat faster involuntarily.

When Master Jiang Wu saw Jin Chu pick up the ribbon, he gently held her hand and said in a low and hoarse voice, "I'd better do it myself..."

Gu Jinchu straightened up, took a step back and stood in front of Master Jiang Wu, watching him tie the sash around his waist.

If she came, she would have to bend down on her knees.

Gu Jinchu's face turned red when she thought of that posture, and there was a hint of shyness in her eyes.

She let out a quiet breath secretly, and looked up to meet the gaze of Master Jiang Wu, who was looking at her with his eyes lowered.

"Fifth Master..." The unfinished words were stuck in his throat as Fifth Master Jiang pulled him into his arms.

His unique scent suddenly touched hers, and she was greeted with a very passionate kiss.

Her lips were conquered as forcefully as conquering a city, avoiding her bulging belly and being held tightly in his arms.

There is no way to avoid it, no place to hide.

Gu Jinchu had not yet recovered from his shock when he was held by Master Jiang Wu and sat on the Arhat bed.

Her eyes are sparkling and her face is rosy.

Master Jiang Wu took the Liang Guan, put it on in front of the makeup mirror, looked at Jin Chu who looked shy, and said softly:

"If you are bored, go to Minghui Hall and talk to your mother, and don't do those embroidery works anymore."

Gu Jinchu pursed her delicate red lips and said in a gentle voice, "Fifth Master, remember to bring breakfast with you on the road..."
