Chapter 413 The Princess from the Cold Palace Who Was Sent to the Throne (24)
"Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell?" He Liming knelt on one knee and tried to help Qingwu with a trembling voice.
It looked as if Qingwu was a fragile porcelain doll.
He raised his head, his eyes as sharp as torches, staring straight at Chi Yunjian, his eyes full of warning, as if Chi Yunjian had committed some unforgivable sin.
"General Chi, as a subject, how could you allow His Majesty to be so exhausted?"
Chi Yunjian folded his arms and sneered, his black cloak fluttering in the evening breeze, making his figure look tall and straight, and his aura imposing.
His eyes casually swept over Qingwu's pale face that still had a smile on it, and for some reason he suddenly felt annoyed.
"Those who know him will naturally understand that Eunuch He is His Majesty's internal official, but those who don't might think that Eunuch He is His Majesty's personal maid."
He wouldn't do anything to the little lamb. He was just teaching the little emperor how to ride a horse. What did that defensive look mean?
Chi Yunjian was unhappy, and deliberately dragged out the last word, then continued with a half-smile, "I just don't know if this 'care' of the eunuch is just fulfilling his duty as an internal official, or if he has some other ulterior motive?"
Before he finished speaking, He Liming stood up suddenly as if he was enraged.
The short blade at his waist was instantly unsheathed three inches, flashing with a cold light, reflecting his red eyes, and it was obvious that he was really angry.
Qing Wu gently pressed his wrist at this moment. Although her voice was soft, it was full of unquestionable meaning: "Master He, General Chi taught me how to ride a horse today, and I really benefited a lot from it."
She turned to look at Chi Yunjian, a faint blush on her pale cheeks, "Thank you for your trouble, General."
Chi Yunjian looked at Qingwu with a sour expression. Seeing Qingwu smiled and nodded at him, he reluctantly relaxed his mood and his expression eased a little.
Fortunately, although the little lamb is weak, its mind is still clear.
Much better than He Liming, he knows how to be grateful.
It’s not impossible for him to teach this little lamb seriously next time.
He had to think about making a bow and arrow suitable for this little lamb, or some other weapon...
He just took a look and found that all the weapons in the martial arts field were too big for Qingwu.
With Qingwu's weak body, she definitely couldn't pull it or lift it, and would hurt him instead.
That won't work.
Chi Yunjian suddenly thought of the sandalwood and black iron he had recently acquired. These two materials were just right for making weapons.
The newly acquired sandalwood can be cut into arrow shafts, but they must be three inches shorter than ordinary arrows, so that Qingwu will find it easier to use.
The tail of the arrow is also engraved with anti-slip twined patterns so that Qingwu will not easily drop it when shooting.
As for the black iron... Chi Yunjian felt that it was too heavy to use for making arrowheads and was not suitable for Qingwu as she was not very strong.
It would be better to melt the black iron and cast it into a dagger.
The scabbard of the dagger is wrapped with three layers of soft cowhide and padded with lambskin lining, which is soft and warm, and Qingwu will feel more comfortable holding it.
In short, just make something for the little lamb. He is generous and won't bother with the little lamb anyway.
Chi Yunjian secretly wondered what kind of grateful expression Qingwu would show him if he gave her a weapon that was suitable for her, and he felt a little smug.
Just when Chi Yunjian was immersed in his own imagination, He Liming, with a cold face, pulled Qingwu away without mercy.
When Chi Yunjian came to his senses, he found that Qingwu had been taken away by He Liming. He was immediately furious and roared at the group of soldiers in front of him: "Where is His Majesty?"
The soldiers looked at each other, surprised that the usually wise and brave general had lost his composure. They replied tremblingly, "General, His Majesty was taken away by Lord He a long time ago."
Chi Yunjian's eyes went dark and he immediately became furious. Why didn't this heartless little lamb even say hello to him?
The amount of martial arts training this day was just two steps for Chi Yunjian.
So Chi Yunjian, who had wasted a day, stayed there and sulked.
On the other hand, Qingwu looked extremely tired after returning to the bedroom.
He Liming was filled with worry. "Awu, Chi Yunjian didn't hurt you, did he?"
Qing Wu smiled slightly, trying to reassure He Liming, but she couldn't hide her tired eyes.
He Liming suddenly imagined a cruel and mad lion with bared fangs and claws bullying the little white rabbit.
He Liming's eyes became fierce, and he thought about sending the Jinyiwei to cause trouble for Chi Yunjian tonight.
His face was filled with great distress, and he took out the ointment that he had prepared long ago.
The faint scent of sinking water incense wafting from the gilded animal-head incense burner was almost imperceptible. She leaned gracefully and delicately on the soft carved rosewood pillow, her eyelashes casting two butterfly-wing-like shadows under her eyes, making her complexion look even more delicate and beautiful, like a piece of jade carved out of powder.
He Liming's voice was as light as a feather. He knelt on one knee beside the couch and carefully placed his palm on the back of Qingwu's hand.
A chill ran down his spine as he touched it, causing him to feel a tightness in his heart. He quickly asked with concern, "But where does it hurt?"
"Awu, are you injured anywhere? I think there's something wrong with the way you walk."
After all, Qingwu was practicing martial arts for the first time, so injuries were inevitable. He Liming was mentally prepared for this, but when he actually saw that Qingwu might be injured, he still felt heartbroken.
However, what He Liming didn't expect was that after hearing his words, Qing Wu suddenly blushed like a ripe apple.
The crimson color spread from the tip of her nose like the sunset, and continued to the back of her ears and the base of her neck, making her already beautiful face even more shy and charming.
The beauty was so stunning that even He Liming was stunned.
He stared at Qingwu in a daze, and for a moment he forgot what to say.
After a long while, Qing Wu seemed to come back to her senses from her shyness, but her voice was still trembling: "I... I'm fine."
"It's just a little pain on the inside of my thigh."
...Inner thigh?
He Liming was a little confused.
Although he had already seen through Qingwu's body these days.
but......
He Liming looked upright and serious, and coughed coldly.
He pretended to be calm and said, "Let me see."
To avoid embarrassment, he added, "I'll apply the medicine for you."
As if this was just a very normal thing.
......
At first, He Liming didn't feel anything unusual, it was as natural as changing Qingwu's clothes.
He gently unbuttoned Qingwu's clothes and carefully took them off, revealing her skin which looked exceptionally white under the flickering candlelight.
He Liming's eyes gradually changed, becoming deeper and deeper.
The fingers also gradually began to tremble.
