Chapter 93 A Short-lived but Rich Husband
As soon as he entered the room, his eyes met Lu Wanning's. Perhaps he saw the dark circles under her eyes, or perhaps the undisguised concern in her eyes was too obvious.
Qi Muchao walked straight towards her.
Before she could open her mouth to ask if he was hurt, she pulled him into her arms.
A soft sigh was heard, and it was clear that no one had spoken, but it seemed as if everything that needed to be said had already been said.
He patted Lu Wanning's shoulder, whispered "Wait for me", and walked towards Qi Liuchuan's room.
As soon as he entered the room, Qi Liuchuan looked him up and down and asked, "Are you injured?"
"No," Qi Muchao said, "The Governor of Qi has been captured alive, but the Governor of Yanzhou escaped through a secret passage. Lieutenant General Xu is currently leading his men in the search. The men sent by His Majesty have already searched the Governor's and Governor's mansions and have rounded up all those who should be arrested."
He took out two account books from his arms, one of which had been partially burned.
Throwing the account book to Qi Liuchuan, Qi Muchao's face was a little grim. "This is the account of the mine. How much iron was dug out and how many weapons were made are all on it. But where have all these things been sent to now? I haven't had time to review them yet."
Qi Liuchuan looked at his expression and asked, "Do you want to interrogate me right here?"
"Of course. We'll re-examine them after returning to Beijing. I'm afraid most of those who should have escaped have already fled. I've also observed this over the past few days at the iron mine. I estimate that even if this thing is hidden, it can't be hidden far away. The weapons made are probably still in Yanzhou City."
"Also, I brought back a man from the mine who has considerable skills. Although he has never been taught martial arts, he is as strong as an ox and has natural supernatural powers. If he is given guidance, he should be a useful talent."
Qi Liuchuan nodded and asked, "Have all the people in the mine been sent back?"
"It's almost there."
When mentioning those people in the mine, Qi Muchao could hardly suppress the anger in his chest. There were countless corpses burned to the point of only remains in the large pit used for burning corpses.
Those people who suddenly fainted while walking, and the whips that could hit him at any time, each of them made him want to peel off the skin and flesh of the culprit inch by inch.
Qi Liuchuan sighed. The events in Yanzhou also made him extremely angry, but besides being angry, he was still full of helplessness.
"The evidence we have now is still not enough to implicate Second Brother. We should consider this matter carefully and refrain from acting impulsively."
"I know." After saying everything he needed to say, Qi Muchao stood up and walked out.
Qi Liuchuan called out to him quickly, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
They finally met, but she didn't care whether his injuries were serious or not, nor did she ask where he had been hiding during this time.
He turned around and was about to leave.
Qi Muchao turned around and looked at him, "Anything else?"
The impatience between his eyebrows clearly showed the word "trouble".
Qi Liuchuan had no expression on his face. "It's okay, just get out of here."
Qi Muchao left without stopping and went to see Lu Wanning.
Lu Wanning was waiting for him in the room. The dim candlelight made their eyes shine.
Lu Wanning first took his pulse and found that he had not taken his medicine on time in the past few days.
"The medicine was confiscated before it even reached the mine. It wasn't that I deliberately didn't want to take it."
Qi Muchao explained quickly.
"I know." She groped Qi Muchao's body and said, "Take off your clothes."
Qi Muchao: "..."
He hesitated, "I have to go out soon."
Lu Wanning immediately slapped him on the back. The force was not strong, but Qi Muchao shuddered.
This immediately made her alert, and she quickly took off Qi Muchao's outer shirt. Sure enough, the clothes inside were stuck to his skin.
No wonder the clothes looked so ill-fitting. He was probably afraid that Lu Wanning would see the injuries on his body when she came back, so he just found some random clothes to change into.
Lu Wanning was furious. "No matter how serious the situation, shouldn't you treat the wounds first? Do you really think you're an iron man? You're pretending to be fine despite all these injuries. Do you know what if these wounds get inflamed—"
Her anger was blocked by the sudden attack of lips and tongue, and her eyes remained open.
Bang, bang, bang...
The sound of her heartbeat seemed to shatter her eardrums, leaving her feeling a little helpless.
The resentment when he witnessed those disgusting scenes, the cruelty of wanting to skin and bone someone when he tried to save them but was whipped, the danger of being exposed at any time and the panic of possibly never seeing her again, at this moment, finally subsided like the rolling waves.
Qi Muchao raised his hand to cover her still open eyes, patiently savoring her sweetness.
When they separated, Lu Wanning looked like a smoking red man. She turned around twice in the same place, not thinking about what she had just done.
After thinking for a while, he patted his head and said, yes, I have to give Qi Muchao medicine and bandage him.
So she lowered her head and pushed Qi Muchao forward, making him lie on the bed.
Qi Muchao's discomfort instantly disappeared when he saw her like this, and he smiled like a gangster, "It hurts."
Lu Wanning twisted his ear viciously and said, "If it hurts, just climb up honestly. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
She walked to the door and asked Hu Yan to fetch a basin of clean water.
Hu Yan turned around and immediately turned back, twirling around in a circle, a little confused, "Why is the Crown Princess's face so red? Is she sick?"
Lu Wanning: “No.”
You're so famous but you're still not sick?
Hu Yan muttered softly as she fetched some water.
He wrung out the handkerchief and cleaned the wounds on Qi Muchao's back, revealing the criss-crossing whip marks.
The deepest layer of skin and flesh was turned over, looking particularly scary.
Qi Muchao lay on the bed and didn't hear her voice. He thought his injury had frightened her, so he said, "It's just a flesh wound. Just take care of it. I'll have Changkong arrest all the supervisors in the mine and beat them back one by one."
The wound was applied with medicine and bandaged with gauze, and Lu Wanning didn't say anything.
What can I say? Should I tell him not to go to dangerous places?
He is not a three-year-old child anymore.
Qi Muchao didn't delay too long. After bandaging the wound, he immediately went to finish the work.
After he left, Lu Wanning lay on the bed. She felt relieved after seeing him and could sleep well.
But as she tossed and turned, the palpitations kept her awake.
Lu Wanning simply sat up and thought about it herself.
Could it be that this person wants to breach the contract?
We agreed on three years, what does this mean now?
Previously, I thought that marrying a short-lived but rich husband was not a bad thing, but now Qi Muchao's body has basically been properly maintained, and it is not a problem for him to live to be in his forties even if he is sick.
If she chose not to leave after three years, would she face the same time as in her previous life?
