The cold husband can't warm me up, I don't love him anymore

"Nothing, just asking for a little reward before explaining the matter."

Shen Du's voice became hoarse.

The unique coolness of his body captured her.

She froze.

Suddenly, he held my lips gently.

There was a buzzing sound in my brain, and everything went blank.

The cold lips separated after a moment, and she was still in a daze.

However, because of the force with which he had just closed his lips, his lips suddenly exerted force and made a "pop" sound.

Her face turned red instantly.

The next moment, he pinched the tip of her chin, and those familiar lips came up again and kissed her hard.

"Thank you, Ali, for the reward..."

Cui Lingyi seemed to have just woken up from a dream and could not help feeling ashamed and angry.

"Shen Du, you..."

However, Shen Du picked up the wooden comb beside him with a gentleman's face and continued to comb her hair.

"Ah Li, do you still want to hear about your little cousin's story?"

Cui Lingyi lost her temper instantly.

"Of course I will."

The little cousin mentioned by King Linjiang was from a branch of the Li family.

Because of her frail body, she was raised in seclusion since childhood.

Most people don’t know that the Li family has such a daughter.

When she was twelve or thirteen years old, this little cousin's health suddenly improved a lot.

At that time, Cui Lingyi was almost two years old.

As the only girl in the family who was about to reach marriage age, the younger cousin was allowed to visit her cousin at the Cui family.

That is Cui Lingyi's mother, Mrs. Cui at the time.

At that time, Shen Du was only six or seven years old, and the Shen family had not yet moved into the current Zhongguo Marquis Mansion, but was separated from the Cui Mansion by an alley.

Cui Lingyi always begged her cousin to take her to the Shen family.

Naturally, Shen Du also liked her very much at that time.

Apart from boring studies, the greatest fun is teasing the sweet and soft Cui Lingyi.

The King of Linjiang is older than all of them, but he is a king among children.

That's how the two met.

But he and my cousin are the same age, so they can get along better.

Before long, everyone noticed that the child king who never grew up suddenly grew up.

He no longer played with the bunch of furry kids, but preferred to talk to his little cousin in private.

And so, two or three years passed.

The royal family began to arrange a marriage for Xie Jin.

But this little cousin suddenly fell ill.

The Li family is a family of imperial physicians, so naturally they did their best to rescue him.

But just a few months later, my cousin passed away.

At the time, it was a sudden death.

There will be a lot of gossip behind the scenes.

For the sake of their reputation, the Li family announced to the public that their cousin had married far away.

In fact, the dead cousin was hastily buried on a dark night.

Of course, King Linjiang knew all these things.

He refused the marriage proposal and promised that he would never accept a princess arranged by anyone.

He was depressed all day long and became ill.

Originally, his mother was a powerless concubine, and her family had no influence either.

Now he himself is not doing well.

So he completely became an idle prince outside the imperial power.

But it was also good this way. He avoided the open and secret struggles among the princes and lived safely.

After Emperor Wen ascended the throne, he directly named him King of Linjiang and left him in Shangjing to be a wealthy prince.

For more than ten years, he has been doing what he said.

Not only did he not allow others to arrange a marriage for him, he also rejected all women.

Until I met Feng Zhenzhu...

"So, you don't have to worry about Doctor Feng. Since Xie Jin can break his promise for her, he will naturally treat her well."

Shen Du said as he took her hand and walked her to the bed.

"Okay, that's all. You should rest for a while."

Cui Lingyi was a little dumbfounded after hearing this.

She didn't expect that there were so many stories behind this.

Her little cousin turned out to be the white moonlight in the heart of King Linjiang.

What was even more difficult for her to understand was that the dignified King of Linjiang actually did not marry for more than ten years and wasted his best years just for a woman.

But now, for the sake of another woman, he can break his promise and hold his hand firmly.

What kind of determination and courage does it take to do this?

"Ali, what are you thinking about? Are you tired of listening?"

Shen Du's gentle voice echoed in his ears.

She looked up in confusion and asked Shen Du.

"Shen Du, if one day I die suddenly like my cousin, will you marry someone else?"

Shen Du seemed to be greatly stunned.

Then he grabbed Cui Lingyi's shoulders almost in fear.

The pair of clear black and white eyes also changed color instantly, surging with a layer of bloodthirsty red.

"I won't let you die! Never!"

Cui Lingyi was greatly frightened by his actions.

She suddenly remembered the last moment of her death in her previous life.

Shen Du held her in his arms and shouted her name.

His voice was almost broken, his eyes were red, and his handsome face was ferocious...

She really cares about him...

He must have been in a lot of pain at that time!

Cui Lingyi was shocked and couldn't help but shake his arm.

"Brother Adu, I'm just talking, I'm not really dead, you're hurting me..."

Shen Du came back to his senses and quickly let her go, but then asked nervously, "Ali, are you okay?"

As if he remembered something, there was a hint of anger in his eyes.

"Don't say the word death casually anymore."

Noticing that he looked very scared, Cui Lingyi's guess became more certain.

Before this, she had actually discovered that there was something strange about the Li family.

As a family of imperial physicians, the Li family is not a very large family, but it is also a prosperous family.

Let’s just talk about her grandparents’ branch.

They had two sons and one daughter.

Her two uncles each had two sons, and her mother also gave birth to her.

My uncle’s eldest son, who is also his eldest cousin.

Today, he runs a family business in southern China.

He married a wife and two concubines, who had given birth to four sons for him.

My second and third cousins ​​who returned home to take part in the Spring Examination will also get married next year. I think it won’t be long before they have their own children.

The other members of the Li family in Beijing are similar to her two uncles.

But the strange thing is that none of them gave birth to a daughter.

Generally speaking, when a woman gives birth, she must have both a son and a daughter.

It is impossible to have only boys and no girls.

Unless these girls don't live long after they are born.

Her mother, her little cousin, and she, just lived a little longer by chance.

To be precise, all the women in their family will suffer from a strange disease.

A strange disease that prevents one from living long.

This would completely explain why her mother had been bedridden for years?

Why did he die of illness at such a young age?

It also explains her inexplicable fainting, drowsiness, and unbearable heart palpitations.

In addition, Shen Du's panic and fear were also because he knew that as a descendant of the Li family, she really would not live long.

Who knows, she might suddenly die like her little cousin.

"Okay. I won't talk nonsense anymore." Cui Lingyi obediently put one hand back into Shen Du's hand with a smile on her face.

"Shen Du, you interrupted me. You haven't answered me yet. Will you marry another woman?"
