Chapter 460: Chapter 460 Sleepless Night_1

“Why did you not ask me about such an important matter in advance? By not asking me, you’ve left me with no option. We’ve known each other for so long and you’ve deceived me on such a crucial matter, I naturally have to be angry with you.”

“And more importantly, I’ve always regarded you as my own brother. The sibling-love I feel for you far outweighs any relationships I have with Wei Yichen. I never imagined that not only are you not my blood brother, but you’ve also become my husband. I don’t know why you did this, but I honestly don’t know how to face you now.”

After Wei Ruo finished speaking, she let out a long sigh as she gazed at the still sleeping face of Wei Jinyi.

She then got up and approached the dressing table, removed the attire she was wearing, especially the phoenix crown, which felt as if it weighed ten pounds, causing her neck to hurt.

She took off the rest of the adornments.

After removing the outermost layer of her wedding dress, Wei Ruo did not continue but got into bed fully clothed.

But Wei Ruo could not fall asleep, her mind was swirling with numerous thoughts.

Reflecting on it now, before she returned to the Wei Family, Wei Jinyi had always lived an isolated and quiet lifestyle. Not only outsiders, but even his family members rarely saw him.

Whenever he went out with her, he cross-dressed as Wang Jin.

Hence, among the people in the capital city right now, aside from a few members of the Wei family, only the Xie siblings have ever seen the true face of Wei Jinyi.

At this thought, Wei Ruo couldn’t help but sigh. All of this had given early signs, only she hadn’t been able to think along these lines.

From the Imperial Concubine’s bed, Wei Jinyi, who had previously been asleep, opened his eyes.

He wasn’t actually unconscious, not because Wei Ruo’s hallucinogen didn’t work, but because he held his breath when it was sprinkled on his face.

He didn’t fall asleep either, and had been perfectly lucid.

A sleepless night passed and as daybreak arrived, the light shone into the room, and Wei Ruo got up from the bed.

Wei Ruo opened the wardrobe, it did not surprise her to see her own clothes hanging neatly inside.

Wei Ruo took out a water-blue dress from it, returned to the bed to pull up the bed curtain, and changed her clothes inside.

After walking behind the screen to the exterior space, Wei Jinyi was still lying on the Imperial Concubine’s bed, his eyes closed.

“Stop pretending, the dosage of my drug couldn’t have made you sleep till now.” Wei Ruo said, her face stern.

Fearing that King Rui’s frail body wouldn’t be able to handle it, Wei Ruo prepared a very low dose of the hallucinogen. A normal person, after inhaling, would pass out for a maximum of three to five hours.

And as far as she knew, Wei Jinyi was strong and healthy with high-level martial arts skills, so there was no possibility he could have been unconscious from the drug since last night.

At her words, Wei Jinyi opened his eyes, meeting Wei Ruo’s cool gaze.

Their eyes locked, the atmosphere significantly different than before.

Wei Jinyi slowly got up and was about to start a conversation with Wei Ruo: “Ruoruo …”

“Get dressed, prepare what needs to be prepared, then call the people waiting outside in here.” Wei Ruo interrupted him.

“Prepare what?” asked Wei Jinyi.

“Of course, it’s the potted flowers.” Wei Ruo responded.

Of course, she knew that verifying a woman’s purity with virginity blood was a ridiculous practice.

Not every woman bleeds during their first time. This is related to a woman’s physiological structure – some people are naturally incapable of bleeding.

Furthermore, as age increases and bodily organs mature, even those who used to bleed may not do so after their first time.

Unfortunately, in the world she currently lives in, such an expectation exists. When she went to bed last night, she saw the white silk laid on the bed.

It must be an item expected to be handed in. Wei Ruo didn’t want to invite trouble so she naturally needed Wei Jinyi to handle it properly.

“There’s no need. Just tell the people sent by the palace that my health was not good last night.” Wei Jinyi stated.

“Won’t that harm your reputation?” Wei Ruo asked.

“It’s fine.” Wei Jinyi answered.
