When Qi Yuning arrived at the guest room, she saw Lu Ze coming out after taking a shower and changing his clothes. He was wearing a winter mink hat that he had gotten from somewhere, but it covered his shiny head.
Qi Yuning chuckled and said, "It's summer now, aren't you hot wearing this hat?"
Qi Yuning took off Lu Ze's hat and said, "I'll have someone make you a wig. But I think you look quite handsome like this."
It's rare to see someone so good-looking even with a bald head. If Lu Ze really becomes a monk, I wonder how many pilgrims' hearts will be attracted by this face.
Qi Yuning said to Lu Ze, "We don't know anything about your life. The princess and her husband are all out of their minds. We must all have a lively lunch together today. Would you like some snacks to fill your stomach first?"
Lu Ze held Qi Yuning in his arms and said, "Lie down with me for a while."
Qi Yuning lay down with Lu Ze in the newly tidied guest room. "Brother, you're such a fool! I even prepared a guest room for you. Isn't that redundant? Lingling will definitely cry and ask you to sleep with her later at night."
Lu Ze said, "Lingling hasn't seen me for a long time. Maybe she doesn't want me anymore. I think she's having a good time in North City."
Qi Yuning said, "When I first came here, Lingling would cry whenever she saw me, and she would cry even if she couldn't see me. At night, when I got up to drink some tea, Lingling would wake up and cry, not wanting me to leave her..."
Lu Ze said, "Lingling can't stick to you like this forever. She's grown up after all."
Qi Yuning chuckled: "I just like Lingling to stick to me, even if it means sticking to me forever."
Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning's face and asked without any sleepiness, "Did you encounter any danger on your way to North City?"
Qi Yuning said, "We were almost caught up by Qin Zhen's troops when we were leaving the city. Luckily, we had a lot of soldiers. Qin Zhen and his men probably didn't expect us to have troops in Shengjing City. We didn't bring many soldiers with us. Ten of our brothers were injured, and thirty cavalrymen died in Jingji Province. We didn't dare to stop along the way. Apart from being physically tired, we didn't suffer any serious consequences. What about you? You must have taken greater risks along the way, right?"
Lu Ze said slowly, "I have burnt scars and am a monk in Xianglin Temple. I came here without being traced."
Qi Yuning touched Lu Ze's head and said, "Hair grows fast. That bald little guy Lu Yun already has hair that's almost an inch and a half long. It won't be long before you have long hair too."
Qi Yuning touched Lu Ze's head and said, "My brother's idea is to wait and see what happens in Shengjing City. But after Prince Ning and Prince Liao rebel, we can start an army. What do you think?"
Lu Ze said, "Prince Ning has rebelled, and Prince Liao will soon follow. We must be prepared to enter the capital at any time. The world is in chaos, and the people are likely to suffer."
Qi Yuning sighed and said, "Yes, the people are the hardest hit when the imperial court seizes power."
If war could be avoided, Qi Yuning would never want to see this scene. Once a war breaks out, the people will either be displaced or separated from their families.
The two of them fell asleep while chatting. When Lu Ze woke up, it was almost 3 p.m.
Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning who was still sleeping beside him. He didn't get up, but just quietly looked at the face he had longed for for a long time.
Qi Yuning might be having a nightmare, her brows were furrowed.
In fact, Qi Yuning could only fall asleep on the first day after arriving in Beicheng because she was too tired. These days, she was worried about Lu Ze and had not had a good rest for several days.
After finally falling asleep today, I was plagued by nightmares.
She dreamed that Lu Ze and she were abruptly separated.
I dreamed that Lu Ze was detained in Shengjing City and forced to marry Qin Yuli.
She dreamed that Qin Yuli walked up to her with Lu Ze's hand in hers and arrogantly said that Lu Ze was her husband and that she and Lu Ze were already married.
In the dream, Lu Ze jumped off a high mountain in order to disobey Qin Yuli...
"No!"
Qi Yuning suddenly opened her eyes and saw the familiar face in front of her. Qi Yuning reached out and hugged Lu Ze.
Lu Ze hugged Qi Yuning tightly and asked, "Did you have a nightmare?"
Qi Yuning nodded and said, "Yes, I dreamed that you jumped off a cliff to commit suicide in order to escape Qin Yuli's clutches."
Lu Ze touched Qi Yuning's head to comfort her and said, "No."
Qi Yuning raised her eyes to look at Lu Ze, then moved forward and kissed his thin lips.
Lu Ze held Qi Yuning in his arms and soon became the host. Looking at Qi Yuning beneath him, he said in a hoarse voice, "Yuning, I still owe you a wedding night."
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze with her eyes slightly raised and said, "Then can you return it to me today?"
Lu Ze took off Qi Yuning's wide-sleeved shirt, revealing her skirt embroidered with a pink lotus. Lu Ze's slender fingers brushed across her white shoulders and delicate collarbone...
As the skirt fell to the ground, Lu Ze felt that there was no more beautiful scene in the world.
The kiss went from her red lips to her neck, and Qi Yuning let out a moan.
Lu Ze couldn't bear it any longer, and just as he was about to go into battle, he heard crying outside.
"Woo woo woo, mommy, daddy, mommy."
Qi Yuning heard Lingling crying and even wanted to get up. Lu Ze hugged Qi Yuning tightly and said, "Lingling, it's okay to cry for a while."
Qi Yuning said: "But..."
Lu Ze swallowed Qi Yuning's next words.
Qi Yuning listened to Lingling's crying outside and didn't have any thoughts anymore. She pushed Lu Ze away and said, "Oh, Lingling is more important first."
Lu Ze took a deep breath and let Qi Yuning go. He should find a few more people to find out the whereabouts of Taoist He and send Lingling back as soon as possible.
Qi Yuning put on the clothes scattered on the ground, stood up and opened the door, and saw Lingling crying extremely sadly, "Lingling!"
