Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When Ming Shu went back, Shen Pin had already hung the painting up on the wall. Ming Shu glanced at him. He appeared normal.

“Lady, is there something on my face?”

Ming Shu turned her head.

If the little demon didn’t see it, that will be the best.

With his intelligence... he probably didn’t notice it.

Ming Shu happily ate some midnight snacks.

“Lady, shall I rub your stomach?” Shen Pin placed his hand on Ming Shu’s stomach and rubbed it gently.

After a while, he started acting naughty.

Ming Shu felt that she must not sleep in the same bed as the little demon. If not, she would die in bed one day.

It would be a humiliation for her if she died in bed. After all, she was a traitor careerist!

...

One afternoon, Jing Yu came to look for Ming Shu with an imperial invitation.

The door was not closed. Weird noises came from the room.

“Shen Pin! Be gentler!”

“Lady, I’m already very gentle...”

Jing Yu: “...”

She walked away with a red face. Her lady and His Highness don’t even close the door anymore.

However...

In the room, Ming Shu lay on the soft couch as Shen Pin massaged her back.

Jing Yu waited outside for a while until no weird noises could be heard. She knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

Jing Yu didn’t dare to look. She was afraid that she would see something she shouldn’t.

But, Ming Shu was just lying on the soft couch as Shen Pin peeled grapes for her.

The scene was heartwarming.

The smell in the room was normal too.

“Cough, cough... Lady, this is an invitation from the palace. The imperial husband’s birthday is coming soon.” What was the lady and His Highness doing just now?

“Put it down.”

“Yes.”

Jing Yu left the room and closed the door for them.

Ming Shu looked at the invitation. Shen Yan wrote it herself.

“Hey, when is your birthday?” Ming Shu turned her head and asked Shen Pin.

“You don’t even know my birthday?”

“You never told me,” Ming Shu replied. “If you tell me now, I will know.”

Shen Pin peeled a grape and ate it.

Ming Shu: “...”

Ming Shu reached out and snatched what was left of the grape.

Impressive. The little demon dares to steal my snacks now.

Don’t think that you can touch my food just because I pamper you.

... I can only give you one! No! Half!

Shen Pin was speechless. “Am I worth less than a plate of grapes?”

“That is not comparable.”

“Why not?” Shen Pin said. “They can both be eaten. Am I not nice to eat, am I not fun to play with?”

How is the little demon able to say something so shameful without changing his expression?

Are my acting skills not good enough?

Ming Shu coughed. “... Not filling enough?”

Shen Pin: “...”

Was he not working hard enough at night?

Shen Pin started doubting himself.

To show that he was working hard, Ming Shu was tormented that night.

...

On Duanmu Shu’s birthday, Ming Shu and Shen Pin left after showing their faces.

They met Luo Yan at the banquet.

Luo Yan had no solution to make Qi Yu regain his memory yet.

Shen Pin didn’t like Luo Yan. This person kept trying to snatch his wife away from him. He must have not beaten him hard enough at that time.

When Shen Pin pulled Ming Shu away, he glared at Luo Yan.

Luo Yan: “...”

A narcissist in love. So irritating!

After the banquet, life became stable. Ming Shu would go to the imperial court every day and occasionally helped the empress with some affairs.

Of course, most of the time, she would try her best to take the rap, to take the blame, be left holding the bag, and fail whenever she could.

The ministers who always created trouble loved Ming Shu.

At night, Ming Shu would accompany Shen Pin. Sometimes, they would paint. Sometimes, they would just stare at the stars.

“You haven’t been talking much lately. Are you pregnant?”

“Pfft...” Shen Pin couldn’t control himself. “Lady, what are you saying?”

Ming Shu grabbed Shen Pin’s chin. “Oh? Are you not willing to give birth to a child for me?”

Shen Pin: “...”

Although Fengqi State was a state ruled by females, males still couldn’t give birth.

“I... I... I can’t.” Shen Pin felt wronged. “If I could, I would do it.”

Ming Shu laughed. She stopped teasing him. “What happened to you recently?”

Shen Pin leaned against Ming Shu and pointed at his chest. “I just feel that my chest is heavy... I feel tired easily. Maybe I’m just not resting enough.”

Ming Shu frowned.

She immediately asked Jing Yu to invite the physicians over.

Shen Pin got a shock at the fuss she made. “Lady, I’m fine. I just need to rest more.”

“Are you a physician? Even physicians will not treat their own illness.”

Shen Pin: “...”

Shen Pin allowed the physician to look at him. The physician said that he was fine but his body was a little weak.

A little weak?

He was fine all along. Why did his body suddenly become weak?

Shen Pin’s health deteriorated as the days went by. If she hadn’t killed the crown prince of Daliang State personally, Ming Shu would have thought that Shen Pin was infected with venomous insects again.

The imperial physicians arrived at the same conclusion too.

Weak body.

However, no tonic or medicine was able to help him.

Ming Shu remembered Luo Yan. She wrote a letter to Luo Yan. By the time she got a reply, it was one month later.

This was the result of staying in the worlds for too long.

There was no way to save him unless he went back to the real world immediately.

“Lady, am I going to die?” Shen Pin’s face was pale.

“No.” Ming Shu sat beside him. “Your birthday is not over yet. Why will you die?”

Shen Pin blinked. “You said that you don’t know my birthday.”

“... I do,” Ming Shu said.

Why would she not know?

Luo Yan didn’t know what to do, either. Nothing he tried worked.

His body was experiencing problems too.

In the end, Luo Yan gave Ming Shu an item. He asked her to bring it to the next world so that he could meet her there. They would think of a way out then.

They didn’t say it, but they knew that they had formed an alliance.

Ming Shu did it for Qi Yu.

Luo Yan did it so that he could go back.

...

The prime minister mansion started preparing for Shen Pin’s birthday. Shen Yan sent them many things, but there were all useless.

The birthday celebration was lively. Shen Yan even brought Duanmu Shu to visit them.

“Lady... I would like to talk to you for a moment.” Shen Pin pulled Ming Shu’s sleeve and spoke softly.

Ming Shu felt her heart aching. She nodded slowly. She asked Jing Yu to entertain the guests before carrying Shen Pin to the pavilion in the garden at the back of the house.

Ming Shu placed him on a chair. Shen Pin hugged her with some effort. “Lady, after I die, will you marry again?”

“No.”

“Will you remember me forever?”

“Yes.”

“I’m glad that I met you,” Shen Pin said, “I only regret not meeting you earlier. If I had, I could spend more time with you.”

Ming Shu’s voice was gentle. “It’s fine. We will meet again.”

Shen Pin released his hand. It slid down Ming Shu’s shoulder.

He looked up. “Lady, do you like me?”

Ming Shu kissed his pale lips.

“I like you.”

Shen Pin’s hand fell. Ming Shu grabbed it tightly and repeated her words.

“I like you.”
