Chapter 147 The Little Queen Whose Wife Was Taken Away by the King (14)
Just as Qingwu was thinking about what happened today, there was suddenly a soft yet respectful knock on the door.
After Qingwu asked, a well-behaved and smart maid gently pushed open the door and walked in cautiously.
She held a small and exquisite golden bottle in her hands and handed it to Qing Wu respectfully, saying softly, "Miss, this is the golden medicine that General Huo asked me to bring to you. Please accept it."
Qing Wu looked at the golden bottle. There were only three of them in the world, and they were all given by His Majesty.
One bottle is in His Majesty's own hands, one bottle was given to Crown Prince Xia Lingxiao, and the other bottle was given to General Huo Tingye, who had made great military achievements for the country and fought for him on the battlefield.
Such a rare and precious golden medicine was actually delivered to Qingwu's hands without reservation at this moment.
This magical medicine that can remove deep scars is actually used here to treat those insignificant scars on Qingwu's body. It is really a waste of talent.
Qingwu chuckled.
Early the next morning, sunlight filtered through the thin clouds and fell heavily on the earth, as if covering the entire world with a layer of golden gauze.
Qingwu got up early and said goodbye to everyone in the temple one by one with her mother.
When the mother and daughter were about to visit Mrs. Huo again, they suddenly saw a majestic horse parked in front of the temple gate.
The horse was tall and mighty, with fur as smooth and shiny as silk, and its hooves made crisp and powerful sounds when they stepped on the ground.
The man sitting on the horse was none other than the stern and majestic General Huo.
Even his casual clothes could not hide his upright posture like a pine tree, his face was resolute and stern, and his whole body exuded a powerful aura that made people dare not look directly at him.
Behind him, a gorgeously decorated carriage was parked quietly, with the curtains drawn low, preventing people from seeing what was inside. However, just by looking at the outside, one could feel the comfort and ease.
At this moment, Huo Tingye, who had been staring ahead, seemed to notice something and turned his head subconsciously.
The seemingly cold gaze instantly turned towards Qingwu.
In an instant, their eyes met, and a trace of unconcealable panic quickly flashed across Qingwu's eyes.
But deep in Huo Tingye's eyes, there was a burning emotion like boiling magma, as if it wanted to burn everything to ashes.
Last night, the Huo family army had already quietly returned to the camp where they were supposed to be stationed.
It won’t be long before Huo Tingye will have to rush to the battlefield again to kill the enemy and defend his country.
And now——Huo Tingye slowly said: "Mrs. Ning, Miss Ning. Huo will escort you back to the mansion first."
As soon as the words fell, Qingwu's mother's face immediately showed a look of deep fear and trepidation. She quickly waved her hand and said, "How can I trouble General Huo with this?"
Qingwu lowered her head slightly and put on the thin veil again, gently covering her delicate face.
Through the half-revealed veil, one could vaguely see her snow-white skin and her charming lips, which added a touch of shyness, like a woman holding a pipa and half-covering her face.
At least in Huo Tingye's eyes, it was indeed so moving.
However, as perceptive as he was, he still noticed Qingwu's respectful attitude towards him.
Huo Tingye couldn't help but frown slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his eyes. This shouldn't be the case.
Huo Tingye has been looked at with awe and fear too many times in his life.
On the battlefield full of blood, swords and spears, he became accustomed to the terrified look in the enemy's eyes when facing him.
Every time he raised his hand and swung his knife, there was no hesitation or hesitation in his movements.
But just last night, when the beauty looked at him with eyes full of trust and admiration, his heart was burning with passion and he could not forget it.
——This was a look he had never noticed before.
Last night, he tossed and turned and could hardly sleep.
Whenever he closed his eyes, those moving and clear eyes would appear before his eyes, making his heart feel as if it was burned by fire, so hot that he couldn't calm down.
It was not until the early morning that he finally woke up from his drowsy and chaotic dream after having hardly slept for the entire night.
Looking at the messy and slightly damp bed, Huo Tingye fell into a rare awkward silence.
Feeling somewhat guilty and troubled, he quickly packed up everything, then immediately gathered his men and waited for the opportunity. He was determined to get there before Qingwu and her mother left, and ensure that he could escort them back safely.
However, at this moment, when he saw the slightly resistant and silent expression on Qingwu's face, a feeling of dissatisfaction surged in his heart.
Compared with yesterday, she was like a completely different person now. Her gentle and obedient appearance had disappeared.
It shouldn't be like this, Huo Tingye thought -
The pair of captivating eyes from last night kept flashing in my mind.
At that time, her eyes were filled with his figure, and her unreserved trust and admiration were like surging waves, almost swallowing him completely.
Huo Tingye will not give up.
Just like going into battle to kill the enemy, he moves forward step by step, planning and controlling his strategy, and he will eventually win.
Huo Tingye continued, "Madam Ning and Miss Ning, don't worry. This general is just passing by. In the eyes of those behind the scenes, you have already established a connection with the Huo family."
"If you return alone, it's hard to predict what might happen along the way, or if you encounter any unexpected mishaps. But if you travel with me, I will protect you both and ensure nothing goes wrong."
Qingwu had been standing quietly by and listening. When she heard this, her heart couldn't help but move.
She turned to look at her mother, who was frowning with worry. When their eyes met, they seemed to understand each other's thoughts.
Qingwu just nodded slightly to show her agreement.
Seeing her daughter like this, Mrs. Ning thought about her own situation, hesitated for a long time, and finally agreed to it.
At this moment, Huo Tingye's tense face relaxed a little, and the originally firm and hard lines also softened slightly.
He lowered his voice and said soothingly again, "I hope you two won't worry. It's really just a matter of time."
At this moment, a person slowly walked over from a distance. It was Mrs. Huo.
As she walked towards this side, she couldn't help but twitching the corners of her mouth secretly.
Is it really just a side trip...?
I muttered to myself: One lives in the east of the city, and the other lives in the west. How can they be on the same route?
However, she certainly wouldn't expose her son's little thoughts. Instead, she waved towards Qingwu and her mother with a smile on her face and shouted, "Xiaowu, Suan, come here quickly! It's getting late."
If she didn't also want such a well-behaved and beautiful daughter-in-law, who would care about this brat's poor words?
It was not until he saw Qing Wu get on the carriage that Huo Tingye, who had been keeping a tense face, finally raised the corners of his mouth slightly, outlining a faint smile.
Then he waved his hand, signaling the team to set off.
