Qin Qingyao sometimes read quietly, and sometimes sleeps in Dugu Yu's arms.
Dugu Yu tried to teach her how to write calligraphy, but gave up after two attempts. This woman couldn't even hold the brush properly, and ink was splattered everywhere, which made him so angry that he wanted to abuse her.
Qin Qingyao drank two bowls of chicken soup. He felt energetic again, but soon became listless again.
"Honey, my stomach hurts."
"Why does your stomach hurt? Are you sick?"
Qin Qingyao was so exhausted that she barely had the energy to roll her eyes. "Why do you think that is? If you get hurt and it bleeds, it won't hurt?"
Dugu Yu's eyes were full of surprise, and even his wooden face showed shock. Why did it still hurt during these days of every month?
Is this normal?
He was really curious about where she was bleeding from.
"Where does it hurt?"
"Here. It hurts, but it's also uncomfortably cold."
Qin Qingyao grabbed his big hand and placed it on her lower abdomen, then asked, "Husband, can you use your inner strength to warm your hand?"
"Sure." Generally, when fighting with others and needing to use internal force to attack, the palms of your hands will be warm.
Dugu Yu raised his hand and gathered his internal energy. His palm gradually became warmer. Just as he was about to push out with his palm, he smashed a pine bonsai placed ten feet in front of him to show off his skills.
Qin Qingyao grabbed Dugu Yu's wrist and placed his hand on her lower abdomen.
At that moment, Dugu Yu was so frightened that his pupils instantly dilated. He had no time to think and forced himself to disperse his internal energy, causing the blood and Qi in his body to surge. His internal energy flowed around in his body in a disorderly manner, crashing into his meridians and causing them to bulge and twist in shapes visible to the naked eye.
Dugu Yu didn't say a word. He picked up Qin Qingyao and put her on the chair. He walked out as if nothing had happened and slammed the door shut. As soon as he walked into the yard, he opened his mouth and spat out two mouthfuls of blood, which scared Zhao Jinghan so much that he was stunned.
"Your Majesty..."
Dugu Yu not only vomited blood, but his eyes were also severely bloodshot and his nose was bleeding.
He quickly sealed several major blood vessels in his body. He had just suffered internal injuries a few days ago and had not yet fully recovered. This time the injury was ten times more serious than the last time.
Is Qin Qingyao a spy sent by the enemy to kill him?
Dugu Yu waved his hand to stop Zhao Jinghan from speaking, and listened to Qin Qingyao shaking the door hard in the room but couldn't open it.
I really don’t know what to say.
"Have someone clean it up and don't let the princess see it. Come with me."
"yes!"
Dugu Yu and Zhao Jinghan went to his old training room together and told the servants, "Tell the princess that I have to go out for something urgent and will not be back until tomorrow."
"Light a heater for the princess and send it over. Wrap it tightly so she doesn't get burned!"
"yes!"
Sitting cross-legged on the stone bed with Zhao Jinghan, Dugu Yu vomited a few mouthfuls of blood as soon as he untied his acupuncture points. Zhao Jinghan hurriedly checked Dugu Yu's injuries and was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Weren't the prince and princess the only ones in the study at the time? How did the prince get injured like this?
I've never suffered such serious internal injuries in previous battles!
Dugu Yu felt really uncomfortable, but it was only physical. He was still feeling lucky in his heart. If he had reacted a little slower, that dead woman Qin Qingyao would have really died!
"Why……"
Dugu Yu sighed deeply. How could there be such an idiotic woman in this world who plays suicide games all day long?
When Dugu Yu came out, he didn't know how he pulled the door, and Qin Qingyao couldn't open it no matter how hard he tried. In the end, it was the guards who pushed it open from the outside.
"Where's the prince?"
"I went out with Commander Zhao."
"Out?"
"Princess, this is the stove that the prince ordered me to prepare for you. Please be careful."
Qin Qingyao was just about to ask Dugu Yu what he was doing in such a hurry without saying a word, but when she saw the fireplace, she felt much better. She thought he still had some conscience.
"Thank you. Did the prince say when he will be back?"
"tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? Where's he sleeping tonight? Is he out of town?"
"I don't know."
"Forget it, let's all go down."
"yes!"
Come to think of it, since they got married, except for the few days when she was abducted to the mountains by Murong Ce and went to the military camp with Dugu Yu, she has never slept away from home.
What's going on today? It's weird.
In the evening, Qin Qingyao felt bored eating alone and even had half a bowl less rice than usual.
Dugu Yu did not wait until the next day to show up. After he and Zhao Jinghan regulated their internal energy and unblocked their meridians, they returned to the house.
In the second half of the night, Qin Qingyao was sleeping soundly in bed alone, but she was pouting a little unhappily.
Dugu Yu sighed lightly. He felt that he had to find some time to have a good talk with this naughty girl. Otherwise, either she would be killed by him accidentally, or he would go crazy and his meridians would be broken!
He pulled her over and hugged her. Thinking of her stomachache, he rubbed his hands to warm them up and gently placed them on her lower abdomen.
sleep.
The next morning, Qin Qingyao woke up, but Dugu Yu was still asleep. Qin Qingyao was pleasantly surprised to find that Dugu Yu had returned without her noticing, and took the initiative to hug her tightly, which made her secretly delighted.
I turned over quietly and looked at Dugu Yu's sleeping face. I found that his face was a little pale and there was a very clear shadow under his eyes.
"What's going on? Are you too tired?"
Qin Qingyao stretched out her fingers, gently touched Dugu Yu's eyes, hugged his neck with both hands, leaned against her chest and continued to sleep.
Dugu Yu didn't open his eyes, but clenched his hands and rested his chin on the top of Qin Qingyao's head.
The two of them didn't even get up to eat breakfast. They slept until mid-morning and were woken up by the housekeeper.
Because the emperor was concerned about Dugu Yu's condition, he asked Doctor Hu to come and check on him.
Now, Dugu Yu didn't even need to disguise himself. Just his pale and bloodless face scared Doctor Hu.
"Your Highness, have you had a good rest these days?"
"Um."
"May I feel your pulse again?"
Dugu Yu cooperated and stretched out his hand.
"Has the prince suffered any internal injuries recently?"
"I got distracted while practicing."
Doctor Hu nodded. "Your Highness, please rest well and refrain from using your internal energy in the short term. I will prescribe some meridian-regulating herbal remedies for you. Taking them for a few days may help."
"Thank you, Doctor Hu."
"Your Highness is very kind."
Knowing that Dugu Yu was in a very bad condition, the emperor felt relieved.
Although it sounds strange to say this, the emperor cannot be blamed. He does not want to be known as someone who harms the loyal and good without distinguishing between them, so he does not want to take action against Dugu Yu.
But if Dugu Yu remained so powerful, or even became more powerful, he, as the emperor, would inevitably have trouble sleeping.
He had some minor problems of his own and acted like an ordinary, normal person, which made people feel at ease.
The emperor sent a large number of rewards, especially a lot of tonic medicines.
Most of it went into Qin Qingyao's mouth.
After the holiday, when the court was in session, all the court officials asked about each other's well-being. However, King Wu Ling actually dozed off during the morning court session!
The emperor was so angry that he laughed. If it weren't for the fact that the Chinese New Year was approaching and there were so many things to do in the military camp that people didn't even have time to eat, the emperor really wanted to give him another half month's leave so that he could go home and have enough rest.
To be honest, this is all Qin Qingyao's fault. Ultimately, it is all the fault of Minister Qin and Madam Qin.
If he had the same thick skin as Qin Qingyao, he would have personally begged them both to stop threatening Qin Qingyao with the fact that he was going to take a concubine. Wasn't it okay for him not to take a concubine?
After Minister Qin reprimanded Qin Qingyao that day, the couple was happily preparing to have a baby, but Qin Qingyao's relatives came to visit and nothing could be done.
It just so happened that Dugu Yu also suffered internal injuries and should not overwork.
It was five or six days later when both of them were fine. Without a reasonable excuse, no one brought up the matter, and he did not act rashly.
But last night, Qin Qingyao didn't know what had gone wrong. She knelt on the bed with watery eyes and asked him, "Husband, do you not like me anymore?"
"What's wrong?"
"Don't you want to have a baby with me?"
So it was natural for the two to get into a fight, but after two rounds, when Dugu Yu was ready to give another good performance, Qin Qingyao turned against him.
"Dugu Yu, are you planning to kill me so you can take a concubine?"
Dugu Yu: “…”
What had he done wrong? He had checked carefully, and she had definitely not been hurt this time. She had clearly been enjoying it and even praised him for being great.
But they turned against each other just like that?!
Dugu Yu was kicked out of bed by her and ordered to stand at the head of the bed, and then she fell asleep due to overwork.
In fact, Qin Qingyao just wanted him to calm down and cool down, and thought he would come back on his own.
It turned out that Dugu Yu was too stubborn. After Qin Qingyao fell asleep, he stood at the foot of the bed for the entire second half of the night without even putting on a piece of clothing. The fact that he didn't catch a cold was because of his good physical condition!
When it was time to go to court, Dugu Yu had no choice but to move his numb feet, put on his clothes and leave.
Today, for the first time ever, I took a carriage to the palace gate. I arrived just after taking a nap in the carriage.
It would be strange if you don’t take a nap in the morning.
After the court session, Dugu Yu wanted to go home for dinner, but was dragged away by the Ministry of War.
He has his own desk in the Ministry of War, which is piled with thick documents, all of which are related to the food and wages of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command.
It's almost the twelfth lunar month, and I have to send money back home so that they can celebrate the New Year.
There are also various assessment results, performance comments, etc. of his many soldiers over the past year.
If someone needs promotion, someone needs to retire, or someone needs criticism or punishment, others can't help with these things even if they want to, and he has to do it himself.
Dugu Yu washed his face in the Ministry of War and felt much more sober. Looking at the mountains of official letters and piles of account books, he picked up a pen and turned into a perpetual motion machine running tirelessly and at high speed.
Over the course of the day, one-third of the documents on the desk were gone.
Zhao Jinghan came to see him several times, and seeing that he was busy, he did not disturb him. However, it was already dark, and he had not eaten much all day.
"My Lord, it's getting dark. Are you going back home?"
Dugu Yu was surprised for a moment. He took a look at the pile of pending official business on the table. There were still so many.
So he took a box of account books and prepared to take them back to the palace to look through them slowly.
