Ji Yuanhui has been reborn. Along with his second chance at life, he acquired a peculiar ability: he can read minds, though this power works exclusively on his wife.
While hunting with a young general, Ji Yuanhui asks if he minds that the general is taking up their time together.
Pei Xu says gently and warmly, “It is always good for Your Highness to make more friends.”
Yet Ji Yuanhui hears his inner voice saying, “So annoying. I want to find an opportunity to take him out.”
When a childhood friend is bedridden, Ji Yuanhui goes with Pei Xu to visit. Pei Xu shows great concern, saying,
“Though it is a minor illness, it must not be ignored. You must take great care to nourish your body.” [Heaven, please let him die soon.]
When the young son of Minister Li gets drunk and puts his arm around Ji Yuanhui’s shoulder to talk, his mouth nearly touching Ji Yuanhui’s ear, Pei Xu’s lips thin, but he maintains a faint smile:
“Young Master Li, please mind your etiquette.” [You’re finished. You won’t live past tomorrow.]
Ji Yuanhui: …
They met during their humble beginnings, they are a couple from their youth, bound by the bond of childhood sweethearts.
Every day and night they spent embracing, Ji Yuanhui firmly believed they would grow old together. Pei Xu has always been in poor health. He was brought into the household at seventeen, and Ji Yuanhui pampered and cherished him for a long time just to get a little meat on his bones.
Ji Yuanhui didn’t dare touch him with a single finger, fearing that one moment of carelessness would break him. But Pei Xu does not understand his kindness and insists on intentionally provoking him.
Ji Yuanhui frowns, pinching the other’s chin to create distance.
“Don’t you have important business to do?” Due to his weakness, Pei Xu’s voice is always soft, as if trying to save energy.
“The early birth of the Heir is also important business.”
Then, Pei Xu is seized by Ji Yuanhui and forced to drink two large bowls of medicinal soup.
He frowns deeply: “It’s bitter…”
“Bitter or not, you still have to drink it.” Ji Yuanhui sneers.
“Didn’t you want to give birth to the Heir? Condition your body well. We’ll have two in three years, three in five years. Let’s aim for eight or ten.”
Pei Xu: …
[I was just saying that casually.]
