Chapter 118 I Miss You So Much
Instead, Lu Wanning touched his cheek with tears in her eyes, "You've become so skinny! The few pounds of flesh I worked so hard to gain are gone just like that."
Qi Muchao was so angry that he laughed, "After such a long time, you only say this?"
Lu Wanning sniffed and choked up, "Not really, I miss you so much."
He hugged her tightly in his arms and sighed, "I'm a little late."
"It's not too late," Lu Wanning shook her head gently. "Chen Wenjian said that the Second Prince started a mutiny. Is that true?"
Many things did happen in the capital during this period, which was what Chen Wenjian had calculated accurately.
But he never expected that his superiors had already anticipated this mutiny.
The incident at the Yanzhou Iron Mine had already awakened His Majesty, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already made preparations in advance.
Qi Muchao said, "Your Majesty asked Song Yu to stay in the capital to guard against this incident. He had already noticed the Second Prince's unusual movements, but he never thought that the Queen would join forces with Marquis Wu'an to murder him."
Lu Wanning was a little confused, "Marquis Wu'an?"
She hadn't heard much about it.
"Marquis Wu'an is not in the capital. He was demoted to Weicheng over ten years ago due to some incidents. It's normal that you don't know."
Lu Wanning looked at him and said, "The Marquis of Wu'an has been planning for so many years. Can General Song handle it with the few troops he has in the capital?"
Qi Muchao smiled and said, "Actually, father didn't leave last time, but was hiding in the dark. Now that Marquis Wu'an and the Second Prince have made a move, he and General Song have captured these people in one fell swoop."
Changkong stayed behind to deal with Chen Wenjian's body, while Changqing followed.
"It's still late, so why don't you find an inn here and rest for the night, my subordinates will hire a carriage tomorrow, and we can go back later, okay?"
After finding an inn to rest, Lu Wanning discovered that Qi Muchao's eyes were always following her. Even when she stood up to pour a glass of water, he would look away.
It made her feel a little uncomfortable, but this person said that he was afraid that everything in front of him was an illusion, and that if he looked away for just a moment, she would disappear again.
After all, he had had a lot of such dreams recently.
Lu Wanning felt sad when she heard this. She lay on the bed with him. In fact, she was the same and still hadn't felt the reality.
Whether it was Qi Muchao suddenly appearing in front of her, or Chen Wenjian dying so easily.
Everything seems like an unrealistic dream.
She curled herself up in Qi Muchao's arms and asked him softly about the capital.
Does her aunt know that she is missing this time?
Will Princess Qi have some unfavorable opinions about her?
Even though Princess Qi treated her well, she had actually been with a man from another world for such a long time.
If other people knew about this, they would definitely say something hurtful.
Qi Muchao patiently answered each of her questions.
Hearing the panic in her tone, he gently soothed her, "Mother only asked me to take you back as soon as possible. I thought you must have been terrified during this period. How could I blame you for something that was not even mentioned?"
Lu Wanning pursed her lips and said, "Nothing happened between Chen Wenjian and me."
He was silent for a while, then said softly, "Do you think I care about this?"
After a while, Qi Muchao sighed, "If I really care, it's because he hurt you. I'm very happy that he didn't do anything excessive to you. This happiness is simply because you weren't hurt."
Lu Wanning grabbed his clothes and turned around, seeming to feel a little embarrassed, and silently shed two tears.
Qi Muchao held her in his arms, and the two of them slept together, the deepest sleep they had ever had in a while.
I didn't get up until noon when my stomach was growling with hunger.
She hadn't eaten properly during this period, and now Lu Wanning definitely didn't want to put herself in a difficult position anymore.
The food in this inn tastes very good, and the waiter can deliver the food to the room, so Lu Wanning waved her hand and ordered several signature dishes in a row for the waiter to bring in.
After eating and drinking, Changkong's carriage was ready and the group planned to leave.
However, Qi Muchao did not plan to return to Beijing, but planned to go directly to Fujian from here.
Lu Wanning was a little hesitant and felt that it would be better to go back.
Qi Muchao said, "Father is in the capital now. I have sent someone to deliver a letter. When he returns to the frontier, he will bring mother with him."
"Your aunt doesn't know about your disappearance. You told her once before that you were going to Minxian. I sent someone to give her a message. As for the affairs of the court, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can handle it."
He curled his lips at Lu Wanning and said, "Don't you want to go to Minxuan as soon as possible?"
Of course I do.
So the matter was decided, but Lu Wanning just found out that this place was indeed Qiyuan.
Ten days was indeed not enough time to leisurely travel here from the capital. She must have been unconscious for quite a long time, and Chen Wenjian had already hurriedly taken her on a long journey before she woke up.
She thought she had only been in the carriage for ten days, but in fact, it had been more than a month since she disappeared.
No wonder Qi Muchao has become so thin.
She just remembered, "Have you taken your medicine well during this period?"
Qi Muzhao nodded and said, "I ate it. Luckily you left me enough medicine."
He relied on those pills every day to maintain his belief in finding her.
The journey from Qiyuan to Minxuan is much longer than the journey from the capital to Minxuan.
But we can stop and walk along the way and take a look at the beautiful rivers and mountains of our motherland.
The two of them soon arrived at the border. After crossing the border and walking further ahead, they reached the Turan tribe. Lu Wanning had heard her master mention this tribe before. It was said that the people in this tribe were strong and tall and mighty.
The scenery of the Turan tribe is very beautiful. Qi Muchao had mentioned it to her on the way. The two of them planned to cross the Turan tribe and arrive at Minxuan.
As soon as they arrived outside Turan City, they noticed something was wrong.
The tightly closed gates of Turan made the two men somewhat puzzled. Even the soldiers guarding the city were nowhere to be seen on the city walls.
The two looked at each other and decided not to go in rashly.
They could only take a detour, but after two hours of walking, Changkong suddenly stopped the reins, and Lu Wanning stuck her head out, "What's wrong?"
"Replying to the princess, there is someone."
Lu Wanning took a look and saw an unconscious woman lying in the front of the carriage. She looked very young and her clothes were completely different from the Ming Dynasty style. There were small bells hanging on her sleeves and skirt.
But since the wind blew the sleeves but no bell rang, it seemed that the bell must be hollow.
Qi Muchao pulled her and said, "I'll go out and take a look."
After a while, he came up again and said, "It's Turan's people."
