Chapter 192: I Will Do It
While the military doctor was taking Jiang Lan's pulse, Qi Wuhan was standing by. Then Ye Xuanhe came over and reported that King Rui had run away with his men and asked whether they should chase them. Qi Wuhan asked him to settle the people in the city first and not to bully or rob them. Violators would be dealt with according to military law.
"I think it would be better for Your Highness to handle this matter, so that the people will be grateful to Your Highness." Ye Xuanhe suggested.
"Thank you?" Qi Wuhan smiled coldly. Seeing that the military doctor had finished taking the pulse, he softened his cold eyes and said, "You can go down first."
After Ye Xuanhe left, the military doctor hesitated for a moment, as if he was a little embarrassed to speak.
"Speak." Qi Wuhan's tone was deep, with an oppressive feeling of command.
The military doctor quickly replied, "Judging from her pulse, this girl should be pregnant." Qi Wuhan paused, his eyes darkening, "Go on." The military doctor continued, "Judging from her pulse, she should be two months pregnant. She was frightened and has a bit of miscarriage. She needs to recuperate for two days."
This military doctor was originally an imperial physician in the palace and had a lot of experience in prenatal care.
After the military doctor wrote the prescription, Qi Wuhan looked at the medicinal ingredients written on the prescription one by one, and asked the military doctor to go down and boil the medicine first.
Jiang Lan remained silent until she heard the military doctor say that she had a miscarriage. She raised her hand and gently stroked her lower abdomen with a guilty look on her face. Qi Wuhan sat down beside her and reached out to gently hold her hand. It was still a little cold, so he covered her hand in his palm and gently stroked it to warm her.
"Are you still cold?" he asked softly.
Jiang Lan shook her head, her lips moved slightly, and her eyes drooped again.
"Don't think about anything now. I will definitely do what I promised you."
Jiang Lan raised her eyes to look at him, and saw that he gave her a gentle smile, that smile was so gentle that it made her feel sad. Even though she had been shaken and confused when she first heard what Ye Xuanhe said, but now looking into his eyes, she knew that he would not, would not treat human life as worthless.
He raised his hand and gently stroked her face, resting his forehead against hers, and murmured again, "I will definitely do it."
"I know," she replied softly, "You've done everything you promised me, and you won't break your promise this time."
After the military doctor brought the medicine over, Qi Wuhan took the bowl, which was still a little hot. He scooped up a spoonful of medicine and blew on it gently, then fed it to Jiang Lan and asked her if it was still hot. She shook her head. He glanced sideways at the military doctor who was still standing next to her and asked him to go and check on the injured person. The military doctor then took his leave.
After she finished drinking the medicine, he helped her lie down and covered her with a blanket, telling her not to think about anything and to have a good sleep.
"I'm staying here and not going anywhere. Go to sleep." He gently patted the quilt covering her, coaxed her to close her eyes, and continued to pat the quilt gently.
Jiang Lan's tightly closed eyelids began to relax gradually, and her tense emotions gradually faded.
After she fell asleep, Qi Wuhan tucked the quilt for her, turned his eyes back, and whispered to her, "I'll go out and take a look, and I'll be back soon." He leaned over and gently kissed her forehead, then tucked the quilt around her shoulders.
When he came out, Ye Xuanhe was waiting at the door.
"I have already arranged for the people in the city to be settled. I wonder what your Highness's plans are next?"
Qi Wuhan sneered, "Does my plan matter?"
"Your Highness, are you blaming me for leading the attack on the city?" Ye Xuanhe bowed and apologized, "I acted on my own initiative and am willing to accept the punishment, but your Highness's safety is the most important thing."
"My safety?" Qi Wuhan's tone turned cold. "Don't use me as an excuse. You just wanted to take this opportunity to wipe out the Black Armor Army in one fell swoop, but you didn't expect that there would be gunpowder buried in the city, which made your plan fail."
Ye Xuanhe replied, "Everything I do is for Beimo. Your Highness is the hope of Beimo. What I have to do is to clear the obstacles for Your Highness. If Your Highness doesn't want to do something, then I will do it."
"I don't need it." Qi Wu turned around and went back to the house.
…
When Jiang Lan woke up, it was almost dark. Seeing Qi Wuhan still sitting by the bed, she felt a warmth in her heart. He asked her how she felt and if she was feeling unwell. Jiang Lan shook her head. Seeing the fatigue between his brows, she moved closer and let him lie down and rest for a while.
After Qi Wuhan lay down, he held her in his arms and asked her if she was hungry and if she wanted to eat something first. Jiang Lan shook her head.
"Then let's eat later." He rested his chin on her head and rubbed it gently for a few times. The fragrance of her hair made him feel comfortable. He hugged her a little tighter in his arms and closed his eyes to take a nap.
Less than half a minute later, he opened his eyes and stood up, saying, "Eat first. You can't go to bed on an empty stomach." He reached out and gently stroked her belly, feeling the little life in her belly, with a look of unprecedented satisfaction in his eyes.
…
On the other side, Prince Rui led his men to retreat to Youzhou City, letting Cui Hai stay in the city to recuperate. Cui Yan also stayed to take care of him. He received an urgent summons from the emperor and led a team of people back to the capital first.
The day after he returned to Beijing, the emperor issued an imperial edict.
The Black Armor Army was charged with treason overnight, and the fall of Dingcheng and the displacement of the people were all blamed on the Black Armor Army.
When this news reached Qi Wuhan's ears, An Yue quietly left Dingcheng in a carriage that night.
When the carriage drove away, a hand pushed aside the curtain and a pair of clear eyes looked forward. The moonlight was clear and sprinkled on the ground as if a layer of silver frost was spread.
When the curtain was lowered, Qi Wuhan held her hands and asked her if she was cold. Jiang Lan shook her head. He gathered the cloak around her and let her lean on him to sleep for a while. Jiang Lan leaned on his shoulder and was gently held in his arms.
"Do you really want to go to the capital with me?"
"Um."
He held her a little tighter.
"Then don't forget what you promised me."
"Well, I'll do as you say."
He turned his head and saw that she had closed her eyes. He raised his hand and gently stroked her face, his expression as gentle as water.
In the morning, the carriage stopped in a small town and stayed at the only inn in the town. After lunch, Qi Wuhan went out for a while. When he came back, it was already evening. Jiang Lan asked him when he would leave, and he said there was no rush and he would leave in two days.
"I'm fine," Qi Wuhan explained before she finished, "Youzhou City ahead has been under strict inspection these past two days. I'll go check out the situation tomorrow. You just stay in the inn and don't run around."
"I know." Jiang Lan muttered, "I'm not a child."
Qi Wuhan smiled dotingly and asked her if she was tired. Jiang Lan shook her head. He then asked her if she wanted to go out for a walk, and she nodded.
There are not many people living in the small town, and there are not many shops selling things on the streets. It does not have the hustle and bustle of a big city, but it has a sense of peace and tranquility.
The two walked slowly hand in hand on the street. There were not many people on the street, and it was quiet and peaceful.
During the trip, I passed by a grocery store, which was already closed. I also passed by a small restaurant where people were still eating. I also passed by a rouge shop, which didn't look big, but had an elegant name.
The street is not long and you can walk to the end in just a cup of tea.
But life is long, so you can take it slow.
