In her past life, she died, and she didn't need to think to know that Pei Yuqing must have played many tricks, but in the end, Lu Ziyuan still ascended to the throne.
This time...
Who else could be his rival?
Her worry was so apparent that Pei Yuqing squeezed her palm and said, "Are you this scared?"
"...Mm," Xie Wanqing murmured softly, "You don't know, he really is quite mad."
After she said this, the room suddenly fell silent.
Not hearing a response for a long while, Xie Wanqing looked up curiously, only to meet a pair of somber eyes. She was slightly startled, "What's wrong?"
Pei Yuqing's eyelashes fluttered, and the light in his eyes softened, "He's so formidable, and my protection may be incomplete. Would you... regret marrying me?"
"Of course not," Xie Wanqing said, "That should be my question to you. I should worry if you would regret marrying me and offending such a formidable rival."
"Do you really think so?" Pei Yuqing slightly smiled.
