Chapter 124: Career-minded and Love-minded
Jiang Sier could feel that Lu Huai hesitated for a few seconds, and when he found that she showed no signs of breaking free, he exerted a little force on his hand and tightly grasped her hand. This time, he trapped her firmly by his side.

It was as if he was telling her that he had given her a chance, and since she had chosen to stay, she could not regret it.

After recognizing his thoughts, Jiang Si'er didn't know what Lu Huai was feeling now, or what was more specific. Anyway, she could feel her heart beating like a drum.

I can't calm down at all.

"Jiang Sier."

He called her, the ambiguous voice mixed with the sea breeze, as if it was floating from far away, as unreal as a dream.

Jiang Sier felt as if he had returned to the past and it was unreal.

I still remember their wedding night——

As soon as she entered the room, she saw him sitting at the table, with the "humiliating" red veil still covering his head, obscuring his facial features so that she could not see his face at all, nor could she tell what his emotions were at that moment.

But she remembered clearly that she had an indescribable emotion in her heart at that time. Her heart was beating fast, her blood seemed to be boiling, and her whole body was hot, but at that time she was not sure whether she was more happy or afraid.

She had no intention of humiliating him, but was afraid that she could not withstand his subsequent anger, so she did not think much about it, nor did she follow the original procedure. She just walked up to him and lifted his veil.

When she met his eyes, she seemed to catch a fleeting strangeness from his eyes. She didn't see it clearly, so she didn't investigate further and immediately explained to him the biggest problem at the moment: "I have instructed that it is just a formality. This veil... is not my idea! Why don't you lift it up?"

She moved closer uncomfortably, and in order to look him in the eye, she stepped on the red veil on the ground and sat down beside him.

"You could actually rest earlier and not have to wait for me. I didn't expect there would be so many etiquettes... If I had known, I would have asked someone to bring you a message."

"My dear, don't worry. The world can see my feelings for you! They are extremely pure! I absolutely don't have any improper thoughts!"

"I don't want to marry you either. I just want to shut up the Queen Mother so that you can have more convenience in the harem in the future. Of course, I won't interfere in your private affairs in the future."

Just as she said this, the person beside her who had been silent for a long time looked at her with a stern gaze and said to her the first words of the wedding night:

"What do you mean?"

"That is to say, I can help you cover up. If you have a girl you like, you can bring her into the palace. I will keep it a secret from the Queen Mother. As long as you are loyal to me, I will find a suitable opportunity in the future to persuade the Queen Mother to let you take your sweetheart out of the palace, and then restore your clean identity as the Regent."

Afraid that he wouldn't believe her, she raised her hand and swore: "I swear! If I don't do it, or if I trap you in the deep palace and deliberately humiliate you, I, Jiang Sier, will not be able to sit firmly on the throne..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by him in a harsh voice: "Get out."

"Ah?" She was stunned and looked left and right. This was her bedroom.

"Jiang Sier." That's what he called her at that time. His voice was not very real, as if he was suppressing some emotions and trying to maintain stability. "Get out."

So, the empress was driven out in such a miserable way on her wedding night.

At that time, she didn't know what was wrong with Lu Huai.

That night, she even thoughtfully instructed her personal servants that they should sleep in separate beds, and prepared a bed for her on the floor. She slept on the floor, and let such a noble regent sleep on her dragon bed.

But in the end, he still drove her out.

It's really unreasonable.

Even if someone has to go out, let him go out.

Now that her bedroom was occupied, she didn’t know where to sleep.

As a last resort, she asked Pei Du to go in and plead for her.

She remembered very clearly that she sat on the steps outside the palace that night, silently waiting for Lu Huai to come out to pick her up.

Who would have thought that Pei Du was finally driven out, and the scene was like a "hunt." Before he could finish his words, Pei Du ran away.

She sat at the door, stunned.

The door of the palace was still open, red candles were flickering, and a hint of warm color poured out from the palace and slowly fell at her feet.

She turned around and saw a figure standing at the door.

"Ai, Ai Qing?"

She stood up hurriedly and saw him coming out. "Your Majesty, please go in and rest. I'll go back." When he spoke again, his tone returned to its original flat tone.

"Ah? Where are you going back to?" After she asked, she realized that he was her queen now and naturally had a residence in the deep palace.

but……

"If you go back, it will be hard to explain to the Queen Mother. You should rest here. I will go and stay with Pei Du."

Pei Du was also in her harem at the time, and there was a side hall that was empty for her to stay for one night. Even if the news reached the Queen Mother, it would be easy to explain. It would just be a lesson for her, and Lu Huai could not be blamed.

She patted her butt and prepared to leave, "Then I will..."

Perhaps because he couldn't bear it, or because he thought it was against the rules, he called her, this time with more helplessness in his tone, "Jiang Sier."

In this palace, the only one who had the courage to call her name was the "traitorous minister" Lu Huaiye.

He called her back and they slept on the same couch that night.

It's just that there is a very long distance between them.

-

Feeling the strength in his hand increase, Jiang Sier suddenly came back to his senses and replied: "Ah? You called me?"

"What are you thinking about?" Lu Huai also frowned slightly. He called her several times but there was no response. He lowered his head and saw that she was daydreaming. She looked so focused that he didn't know what she was thinking about.

"Miss you."

The person next to him was stunned.

Jiang Sier didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said, and said to himself: "I suddenly remembered that you kicked me out on our wedding night."

Lu Huai also: "..."

Now he was more certain that he really didn't have a good impression in Jiang Sier's mind before. What she remembered deeply were all these negative images.

"That time, it was a misunderstanding."

He pondered, trying to defend himself.

"I know." Before he could finish, Jiang Sier nodded seriously, "I think I understand it now."

Lu Huai also glanced sideways, "Are you sure... you know?"

When this matter was mentioned, Jiang Sier scratched his head in embarrassment.

Originally, she thought Lu Huai was a sick person, but after considering his actions of wanting to usurp the throne and kill her, his reaction that night was actually normal.

But after knowing his true thoughts about her, all the scenes of that night were spread out in front of her, and no details escaped her eyes.

His inexplicable anger that night was not without cause.

This was indeed all a misunderstanding. Although he did not like the "humiliation" in her eyes, the result was what he wanted, so it was not a humiliation for him.

One of them is career-oriented, and the other is love-oriented.

The problem lies here.

"I understand." She coughed lightly. "Put yourself in his shoes. If I heard the person I like say that to me, I would be angry too."

"It's reasonable and reasonable."

"If it were me, I would probably flip the table."

"You're lucky you didn't get angry with me." She even comforted him.

But Lu Huai's focus was not here. "Your empathy, can I know who you like?"
