Chapter 155: Removing the Disguise, the Goddess's State

Chapter 155: Removing the Disguise, the Goddess's State

But she had heard from too many people that the emperor and the little prince were not close, and Yuan Heng's little palms had been hit with a ruler many times.

She had also witnessed several times with her own eyes that the emperor usually gave Yuan Heng a serious admonition in front of him.

After asking the question, Ji Qingwu realized that he seemed to have asked a stupid question.

After all, Yuan Heng is the emperor's only son, and of course he is a treasure in the Phoenix Palace.

But the meaning of cherishing is different.

What she wanted to ask was whether he was doing it out of love, just like her.

But the birth of these two children was not based on love. From a certain perspective, both parties were coerced.

Ji Qingwu had never felt so regretful about the big mistake made between the system and himself as he did now.

Emperor Wu Su lowered his eyes; he understood what she meant.

"When Yuan Heng was first brought to my side, he cried all night long, and only had to ask the women in the camp to take care of him during the day before he could sleep."

Hearing him bring up the old days, Ji Qingwu bit her lip.

She swayed and wanted to step back, but Yuan Heng was involved in this story and she really wanted to know how he was doing during that time.

"Is Yuan Heng crying very hard? All children are like this..."

Ji Qingwu's voice became smaller and smaller.

She couldn't lie to herself because Jiujiu was not like that. With her by her side, the little guy could almost sleep soundly all night.

Emperor Wu Su frowned as if recalling some embarrassing incident and said, "For the first month, his crying was louder than a wolf's howl. Later, he gradually got better."

Ji Qingwu asked softly, "Have you asked a wet nurse to come and take care of me?"

Emperor Wu Su glanced at her with a half-smile and said, "At that time, there was chaos and war. It was difficult to find a wet nurse from a decent family, let alone milk."

Yes, there was war going on at that time.

She was busy running away with her children, looking for a place to stay every day, covered in dust and dirt.

At that time, he was the General Dingbei of Liang State. Not only was he busy marching and fighting, but he also had a hungry baby to take care of.

Ji Qingwu asked, "If we can't find a wet nurse, what did Yuan Heng eat to grow up?"

Emperor Wu Su's expression froze for a moment before he said, "Wolf milk."

"Yuan Heng grew up drinking wolf's milk?" Ji Qingwu was in shock and couldn't recover for a long time.

She had thought the situation would be difficult, but she had never imagined it would be this difficult.

Emperor Wu Su said, "It's not what you think. I just said that Yuan Heng's crying was so loud that he attracted a few wild wolves with cubs at night. I ordered people to catch those wolves and feed them for half a month."

Ji Qingwu's throat was hoarse as he imagined this scene in his mind.

He continued, "Yuan Heng has been drinking wolf milk for half a month. After these female wolves were released, they would occasionally bring some prey to the door of the tent. These female wolves are more affectionate than humans."

Ji Qingwu's words suddenly became dull and his meaning was empty.

Emperor Wu Su glanced at her and said, "I often look after him at night. Looking at his red face from crying, it's like seeing another person."

Ji Qingwu was silent for a moment, then lowered his head and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you have any resentment towards me in your heart?"

He didn't answer but asked: "What do you think?"

Ji Qingwu nodded and said indifferently: "If I were in your shoes, I would also feel resentful and hateful."

But after she said those words pretending not to care, she felt a sharp pain in her heart.

I saw her brows were furrowed and there was endless pain in her eyes.

Emperor Wu Su couldn't stop sighing in his heart, she still couldn't open her heart to him.

He thought of something, and as time was running out, he decided to give her a strong dose of medicine.

"Where there is love there is hate, do you understand, Ah Wu?"

When she met his gaze, her heart shrank.

Love is hard to express, hate is hard to express, his eyes are filled with love that is hard to give up.

In the end, Ji Qingwu left the Qinzheng Hall in a panic, but he still had some rationality and remembered to take Jiujiu back home.

She couldn't leave her baby in the palace.

In Wutong Garden.

The crown of the towering paulownia tree has covered the sky, and its shiny green leaves are gathered on its slender branches.

Between the treetops, you can vaguely see the tender green flower buds.

Ji Qingwu sat at the stone table under the tree, staring at the eaves in the distance.

Lanzhi put the dried herbs into a cloth bag and asked with concern, "Fifth Miss, you have been in this position all morning, and you have sighed more than a hundred times. Did you encounter any difficulties yesterday?"

Ji Qingwu nodded heavily: "It's difficult, too difficult."

Lanzhi said, "Master Duan has already sent the restaurant business contract, what are you still worried about?" The maidservant couldn't think of anything else that could make the young lady so troubled.

When Ji Qingwu heard about the business contract, she thought of the green jade ring, and also of what Emperor Wu Su said, that he wanted the queen to be happy as long as she was happy.

But she is not happy now.

Even though she tried to escape thousands of times, she was still caught by Emperor Wu Su time and time again.

Jiujiu and Yuan Heng are her Achilles' heels.

Ji Qingwu covered his face with his hands, and through his fingers he could see the branches and leaves swaying in the wind, so free and alive.

She was disturbed by him again and again...

No, she couldn't let herself continue to mess around.

At least I can't be the only one messing around...

Ji Qingwu suddenly stood up and looked straight at Lanzhi.

Lanzhi was frightened by the bright light in her eyes: "Fifth Miss, why are you looking at me like this?"

She raised her voice and said, "Lanzhi, help me with my makeup!"

Lanzhi wondered in confusion, it was already noon and they had already had lunch, why did the Fifth Miss, who usually didn't pay much attention to her appearance, suddenly want to dress up?

Ji Qingwu sat in front of the dressing table, with a row of rouge, powder, and colorful hairpins and rings in front of her.

Lanzhi, with a cheerful look on her face, picked up the powder box.

Although she had great skills, the Fifth Miss did not like heavy makeup. This time it was finally her time to show her skills.

Ji Qingwu held her hand and said, "Wait a moment."

Lanzhi curled her lips and said anxiously, "Fifth Miss, didn't you agree to let me do the makeup?"

Ji Qingwu looked at himself in the bronze mirror and found a reason.

"I've been sitting under the tree for too long and I've sweated a little. I want to take a shower first. Go get some hot water."

Lanzhi followed the order and went downstairs to prepare hot water. She knew the rules of the Fifth Miss, so she put down the bath bean powder, scented soap, long handkerchief and spare clothes and went out.

Ji Qingwu undressed and got into the bathtub.

Her image was reflected in the clear water. She stretched out her white fingers, disturbing the water and breaking up her reflected face.

After half an hour.

Lanzhi was outside the bathroom. When she heard the sound of water coming out of the bath, she walked in to serve.

Ji Qingwu had his back to her and was just picking up his undershirt and putting it on. Lanzhi walked around in front of her and wanted to tie the belt for her.

But as soon as she saw her face, Lanzhi froze on the spot, and her outstretched arms could not move.

"Fifth Miss..."

Ji Qingwu tied the rope himself and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

The words were as sweet as pearls and extremely pleasant to the ear. It was also a voice that Lanzhi was familiar with.

She swallowed her saliva. The Fifth Young Lady's appearance was exactly as described in the picture book.

The moonlight is dim and the clothes are thin, she looks like a goddess with a shy and charming look.
