In Daxing Prefecture, inside a palace somewhere.
Zhou Zhiruo rushed to help Zhang Wuji with his bathing.
This moved Zhang Wuji deeply.
In the huge bathtub, just when Zhang Wuji was unable to control his temper, Zhou Zhiruo said, "My dear, do you know why I am in a hurry to bring you here to take a bath?"
Zhang Wuji joked, "Zhiruo, do you think I'm dirty?"
Zhou Zhiruo sneered: "Your body is indeed dirty, so dirty that I am too lazy to touch it."
Zhang Wuji's heart twitched involuntarily: "Zhiruo, I..."
Zhou Zhiruo snorted coldly: "Don't quibble."
"Do you really think I'm blind?"
"What's wrong with the wound on your shoulder? Why is your robe gone?"
Zhang Wuji was confused.
Zhou Zhiruo continued, "Even a blind person can see the wound on your shoulder. It was caused by a bite."
"Or the kind that takes a long time to bite."
Zhang Wuji quickly explained: "Zhiruo, the wound on my shoulder was caused by Zhao Min biting me accidentally when I was fighting with her."
"As for the robe he was wearing, it was also damaged during the fight."
After hearing this explanation, Zhou Zhiruo burst into tears.
She sobbed and retorted: "You are lying, how could you lie to me, you smell wrong."
"I stayed in your arms for at least half a quarter of an hour. Do you really think I didn't smell anything?"
"When I was in Dadu, I once covered myself with the same quilt that Zhao Min had covered herself with. The smell on you is exactly the same as the smell on that quilt."
"You and Zhao Min disappeared for almost two days. What did you do during these two days?"
…
Zhang Wuji was confused by all these questions.
He stood up and hugged Zhou Zhiruo in his arms.
He didn't know how to explain it, but Zhou Zhiruo was waiting for his explanation.
"Zhiruo, I can't live without you."
"Please."
Tears flowed from Zhou Zhiruo's eyes: "My dear, I really owed you in my previous life."
"I can agree to any kind of woman you want, but you did this with Zhao Min."
"The reason I brought you here to take a bath is that I don't want the other sisters to find out."
Zhang Wuji still held her tightly in his arms: "I'm sorry, Zhiruo, I can't live without you. You have to promise me that you will never leave me for the rest of your life."
"Hurry up, promise me."
Zhou Zhiruo said: "I am very happy that you can come back safely today. I am so happy as if I were reborn. But what you did makes me very sad."
Zhang Wuji said: "Zhiruo, I'm sorry. I will explain this matter to you slowly. I didn't mean it."
"But you have to promise me that you can't leave me. You can be angry with me, hit me or scold me, but you can't leave me."
"Promise me, hurry up."
It was the first time in Zhang Wuji's life that he used such great strength to hug Zhou Zhiruo.
Zhou Zhiruo already felt like she was about to suffocate.
"My enemy, please let me go."
Zhang Wuji did not let go: "Zhiruo, you have to promise me first."
Zhou Zhiruo said: "I didn't say I wouldn't agree to you, but you did such a thing, don't I even have the right to be angry?"
…
If Zhou Zhiruo leaves Zhang Wuji, there is only one possibility.
That means Zhang Wuji no longer likes her.
But when Zhou Zhiruo saw that he was still so afraid of losing her, she felt a little relieved.
After taking a bath, Zhou Zhiruo personally changed him into a new set of clothes.
Zhang Wuji said, "Zhiruo, do you think my sisters and the others can notice anything wrong?"
Zhou Zhiruo said: "Yes, but they are not sure. After all, they just wonder why your robe is missing."
"As for the wound on your shoulder, I am the only one who can see it, and I am the only one who can smell the smell on your body."
Zhang Wuji breathed a sigh of relief: "Zhiruo, can you..."
Before Zhang Wuji could finish what he was saying, Zhou Zhiruo glared at him fiercely: "You have the nerve to do it, but you don't even have the nerve to let others know about it."
"You should sleep with me tonight, otherwise, if the other sisters see the wound on your shoulder, they will probably think too much."
Zhang Wuji hugged Zhou Zhiruo again: "Zhiruo, you are so kind, thank you, thank you."
"But the wound on my shoulder is quite deep. Even if it heals, it will leave a mark. How can I explain this?"
Zhou Zhiruo said: "How else can you explain it? Just say that I bit it."
"Anyway, I've never been welcomed by my sisters. I'm used to being the bad guy, so this time won't make a difference.
Zhang Wuji was speechless for a while. He didn't know how to comfort Zhou Zhiruo.
But after sighing, Zhou Zhiruo continued, "My dear, that's enough. Your sisters are still waiting for you outside. Your return today has boosted the morale of the army. Even if you have done some shameful things, I don't believe you can be so shameless as to give up the kingdom you have fought for so many years for Zhao Min's body."
"My sisters are still waiting for you, let's go out. If you and I stay together for too long, they will start gossiping about me again."
Zhang Wuji said, "How dare they? My Zhiruo is so considerate. If they dare to gossip, I will divorce them."
Zhou Zhiruo smiled bitterly: "You only say it, but are you willing to divorce them?"
"Don't even mention those who have married into your family. Even if they haven't, I'm afraid you wouldn't be willing to let them go."
"During the two days that you were away, Wei Xiangjun's eyes were always wandering. She didn't say it, but we sisters all knew what she was thinking."
…
A moment later, Zhou Zhiruo took Zhang Wuji's hand and walked out of her room.
In the hall, Zhao Linger had already ordered people to prepare dinner.
Zhao Linger was smart, and of course she could see that something was wrong with Zhang Wuji.
But what can I do if something is wrong? The person is back, which is better than anything else.
Yang Buhui and Wei Xiangjun did not say much. They did not want to delve into what Zhang Wuji had done during the two days he disappeared. Zhu'er just asked heartlessly: "Young Master, you have been chasing Zhao Min for such a long time, have you taken her head?"
Zhang Wuji was speechless. He subconsciously glanced at Zhou Zhiruo, but Zhou Zhiruo didn't seem to have any intention of helping him out.
In desperation, Zhang Wuji could only say: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, I failed to take Zhao Min's head."
Zhou Zhiruo, who was standing by, laughed secretly in her heart, "Although you failed to take Zhao Min's head, you took her body."
"The former is easy, but the latter requires mutual consent. You are quite capable."
