Chapter 791 Disgust
Wuya frowned unhappily.
She had always known that Ji Rongqing was not very keen on matters of love between men and women, and that he was a mysophobe, making it difficult for anyone except her to get close to him.
Wu Ya grew up on the grassland. The people here are open-minded and never shy away from matters between men and women. She likes Ji Rongqing and wants to be close to him often.
But Ji Rongqing didn't like it, and the two of them had very little time to be intimate after they got married.
Wu Ya felt a little dissatisfied and opened her mouth to say something, but when she looked up, she saw his pale face.
His skin was extremely fair, completely different from those boys in Beiling. It was as delicate as a piece of fine jade. The sickly color between his brows added a touch of coolness to his temperament, and his whole body was fascinating.
Ji Rongqing's personality is not enthusiastic, even a little cold, but he is extremely gentle towards her.
He did his best to help her and protect Zong Yu's tribe, giving her the confidence to confront Hu Yanmin. Except for not liking to make love with her, Ji Rongqing was extremely considerate to her at other times and never neglected her at all.
Whenever those black eyes looked at her, she couldn't help but indulge in them.
Wu Ya couldn't help but soften her heart.
That's all.
After all, he was a person from the Wei Dynasty. Although he had lived in the border since he was a child, he was taught the etiquette and rules of the Great Wei. Modesty and shame were engraved in his bones, and his attitude towards matters between men and women was different from that of the people of Beiling.
After Wu Ya felt relieved, she leaned against Ji Rongqing's arms and said softly:
"I know you don't like people getting close to you, but it's normal for you and me to get married and for men and women to love each other. Otherwise, when will our child come?"
"I see that the pill worked well for you this time. I'll have someone investigate the origins of the medicine and bring the person back. I'm sure it will cure your headache."
As Wu Ya spoke, her hand had already reached into his clothes and touched the skin on his waist.
Although he didn't go any further, the fingertip movement still made Ji Rongqing's expression freeze.
"Rong Qing, you have to take good care of yourself, otherwise I will be heartbroken."
"I also want you to be my husband, rule the world with me, and teach our children how to be kings."
Ji Rongqing felt the hand roaming around his waist, and resisted the urge to brush it away. He just reached out and put his arm around Wu Ya's waist, but a hint of disgust flashed across his eyes.
In just a moment, the disgust disappeared.
"I will accompany the princess."
…
Someone from outside came to look for Wu Ya, saying that there was something to discuss about military matters. Ji Rongqing just said that he was tired and wanted to rest, so he did not go with her.
After Wu Ya left, Ji Rongqing went straight back to his residence. As soon as he closed the door to avoid the people outside, he took off his thick cloak and outer shirt with disgust, his face full of coldness.
“It’s burning!”
"yes."
A person at the back squatted down and piled the clothes aside. When he looked up, he revealed a face that was mostly destroyed.
He was not tall and looked a little thin, but there was a scar on his face that was so deep that the bone could be seen. The scar ran across his face, and there were countless small marks around it, which almost destroyed the rest of his skin. Half of his eyelid was also missing.
If you see this at night, it will probably give people nightmares.
"Send some water in!"
Ji Rongqing felt particularly uncomfortable where Wu Ya had touched him.
"It has been prepared long ago."
Chunsheng was used to his cold and angry look, and quickly led Ji Rongqing behind the screen.
A bathtub had already been prepared there, and on the charcoal stove next to it was a large bucket of hot water taller than a person, with steam rising from the bucket.
Chunsheng deftly poured the hot water from the bucket into the bathtub, and then added cold water from the side. When the water temperature in the bathtub was just right, he said:
"Master, that's enough."
Ji Rongqing took off the remaining clothes on his body and immersed himself in the hot water. The warm touch did not ease the coldness on his face at all.
Ji Rongqing wiped the place where Wu Ya had touched with a handkerchief in disgust, until his waist turned red and bled, and he almost wiped off a layer of skin, then he stopped.
Throwing the handkerchief in his hand into the water, Ji Rongqing stood up expressionlessly.
"Have you found out who that Zhang Bin is?"
“Nothing.”
Chunsheng came forward with a clean handkerchief and wiped the water stains off Ji Rongqing's body while whispering:
"The Zhang family is indeed a merchant family in Beiling. They have been operating in the Imperial City for many years. Although they may seem low-key, they are actually very wealthy and have business dealings with various departments."
"But there's something strange about Zhang Bin. Although the Zhang family used to be active in Beiling, few people had ever seen the head of the Zhang family. Most of the business matters were handled by the Zhang family's managers. It wasn't until half a year ago that Zhang Bin suddenly started appearing more frequently."
Chunsheng said, "Zhang Bin is very sociable. He has expanded his business in the past six months. Many elders in the royal court have close interests with him. He even has connections with the Thirteen Scattered Sects."
"Half a year ago?" Ji Rongqing snorted coldly: "That's such a coincidence!"
The Song family got into trouble half a year ago.
Song Jinxiu fled to Beiling half a year ago.
Zhang Bin didn't show up earlier or later, but chose to show up frequently after Song Jinxiu came to Beiling. Even his relationship with the various tribes became closer. No one would believe that there is no connection between them!
Chunsheng naturally understood the doubts and continued:
"Our people originally wanted to investigate the Zhang family, but they were immediately exposed and killed."
"There are a lot of guards patrolling inside and outside the Zhang family. No matter where Zhang Bin goes, he is always accompanied by experts. Our people can't get close to him at all."
Ever since they knew that Zhang Bing had something that could suppress their master's illness, and the Princess's Mansion couldn't openly attack the Zhang family, they had thought about kidnapping Zhang Bing secretly.
As long as the person is in their hands, they can always pry the origin of that thing out of him.
But who would have thought that there was a person with extremely high skills beside Zhang Bin, and he was guarded by dozens of people when he went in and out.
If they wanted to capture Zhang Bing, it would definitely cause a huge commotion, which would not be hidden from other people in the imperial city.
After wiping the water off his body, Chunsheng took the clothes and Ji Rongqing waited for him to put on the clothes for her. Then she tied the belt around her waist and walked out behind the screen.
Ji Rongqing said, "There's no need to check Zhang Bin. I know where the medicine came from."
Chunsheng was surprised: "Master knows?"
Ji Rongqing snorted coldly, "Among all the merchants in the world, the most powerful ones are never in Beiling. Apart from the God of Wealth in Zuozhou, whose wealth rivals that of a nation and is feared by the royal families of other countries, who else could have so entangled the interests of the various tribes in Beiling with his own in such a short time that it would be difficult for others to touch them?"
Chunsheng: "You mean, Gu Helian?"
Ji Rongqing's eyes darkened. "Gu Helian is the most arrogant and conceited person, and the Zuozhou Gu family doesn't even give anyone face. Who do you think could make him willingly pave the way for them with the Gu family's money?"
Chunsheng's expression changed, and he looked up at Ji Rongqing hesitantly.
Then I heard Ji Rongqing slowly utter the word "Tang Ning".
