Chapter 278: The emperor is uneasy
The irony in these words made Emperor Wu Su's body stiffen for a moment.
Ji Qingwu continued speaking, still in a gentle tone.
"Your Majesty said that he doesn't care what the history books say because outsiders won't point fingers at your Majesty's spine because they don't dare."
Her eyes were clear, without any resentment or anger, she looked at him calmly.
"But will they let me go? Have you ever thought about what I will face, Your Majesty?"
Zhao Mingyan's Adam's apple moved.
The voice was low and asked: "Why did you marry Wei Ting? If it wasn't because..."
At this time, Ji Qingwu chuckled.
She raised her hand to touch his face and pressed her index finger against his lips to stop him from saying anything else.
"Whatever the reason, it's too late now."
The darkness in Emperor Wu Su's eyes deepened.
It’s too late, she said.
The true energy in his body began to rush again, causing pain in his internal organs.
Ji Qingwu deliberately ignored the pain in his eyes and said what he really wanted to say.
"Your Majesty should know that the commander-in-chief of the army left home on his wedding night and risked his life to defend the country from the enemy, but the emperor slept on the pillow in the general's house."
"Your Majesty, do you really not know that this move will chill the hearts of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the North?"
Most of the soldiers in the northern border are Wei Ting's men.
The situation was already critical with Xi Jin's invasion, and if Bei Li's military morale was further shaken, how would the soldiers go into battle and kill the enemy?
Ji Qingwu chose to marry Wei Ting, not only for Yuan Heng, but also for the stability of Beili. She did not want countless people to lose their families because of the turmoil in the succession to the throne.
Emperor Wu Su was able to wake up, regardless of whether it was his design or not, no matter how much deception was behind it.
She was grateful and happy from the bottom of her heart. As long as he was still alive, it would be fine.
Zhao Mingyan suppressed his irritability and said, "Do you want to stay with Wei Ting?"
Ji Qingwu said gently but firmly: "This is a matter between the two of us."
us.
She said that she and Wei Ting were us.
Zhao Mingyan touched her long hair and said coldly: "Awu, why don't you understand anything? If you want him to die in the North, you can continue talking."
Ji Qingwu did not pause and replied directly: "Your Majesty, do you think I care about Wei Ting's life or death?"
Zhao Mingyan was surprised that she would answer like that and his fingers paused.
Her eyes were bright as she said, "I don't care, I don't care about anything. His Majesty is lying on the bed, dying, and Wei Ting's power is so high that no one in the court can match him, so I married Wei Ting the next day."
"Now that your majesty is awake and recovered, Wei Ting is going to the battle tonight, and I am lying in your majesty's arms again."
What she meant was that she didn't care about anyone, but power.
Zhao Mingyan clasped his palms together and tightly grasped a strand of her hair. For the first time, an uneasy look appeared on his face.
Ji Qingwu even curled his lips and smiled, moving closer to his arms.
But his tone was nonchalant: "Why should I care? My thoughts are no longer important. Your Majesty, don't you think so?"
After saying that, she closed her eyes. She was already exhausted after so much torment.
Emperor Wu Su looked at her peaceful face and finally did not stay the whole night. He left the Wei family at 3:00 p.m.
He could bear Ji Qingwu arguing with him or crying, but he couldn't stand her calm self-mockery, talking about the unfairness of it all.
When the bed curtains were gently lowered, Ji Qingwu opened his eyes.
There was no trace of sleepiness in her eyes. As she watched the figure leave, she turned her gaze away and let out a long sigh.
This night is finally over.
Emperor Wu Su's birthday also passed in this chaos.
Ji Qingwu's eyes flickered slightly. What she just said was just to give someone a taste of his own medicine.
Emperor Wu Su had his own plans in mind, and she also had her own thoughts.
The war on the border is above all else.
Ji Qingwu worked as a military doctor in the military camp for several years and also went to the battlefield with the army. Swords and knives are ruthless on the battlefield, and the soldiers who are fighting on the tip of the sword should not easily lose their lives because of the entanglement between them.
Matters involving human life are the most important matters.

early morning.
Lanzhi quietly pushed open the door.
I saw Ji Qingwu had already put on her makeup and was sitting at the table, casually reading a military book.
Lanzhi knelt down and cried, "Fifth Miss, it is my incompetence."
After the emperor left, Ji Qingwu couldn't sleep. She changed her clothes and wandered around the room. Unexpectedly, she found a book that Wei Ting had read in the bookcase next to the tea table, and she picked one.
Ji Qingwu discovered the fun in reading military books, which actually have something in common with practicing medicine, in that both involve the moral principles of setting questions and solving them.
She put down the book, looked at the maid kneeling at her feet, and said calmly, "Lanzhi, stop kneeling, stand up and answer the question."
Lanzhi still had tears on her face as she said, "I was boiling medicine for you in the kitchen last night, but somehow I fell asleep. I really didn't mean to be lazy."
Ji Qingwu said: "It's not your fault."
"But yesterday was the first day that the young lady married into the Wei family, and none of the maids who came with the dowry were here. It was because I did not fulfill my duty."
After receiving Qiao's instructions, Lanzhi was ready to do her best to protect her master, but something went wrong after only half a day.
She was not only frightened, but also blamed herself.
If the servants of the Wei family also looked down on Ji Qingwu because of this, she would be to blame.
Ji Qingwu saw through Lanzhi's thoughts.
She emphasized: "Get up."
"No one dares to look down on me. Besides, you weren't the only one who got into trouble yesterday."
Emperor Wu Su came and went freely, and none of the servants in the courtyard noticed it. They must have been dealt with in special ways.
Sure enough, Xuemei also appeared at the door in a panic.
Seeing that Ji Qingwu was already dressed, she knelt down as soon as she entered the room, kneeling side by side with Lanzhi.
"It was my fault. I should have been guarding the door yesterday, but Eunuch Li from the palace had important matters to discuss with the general, so I avoided him. But, I don't know why, I fainted in the corridor."
Ji Qingwu raised his hand and said, "You all should get up quickly. I have a headache from all the crying this morning."
She instructed one of them, "Lanzhi, go check if Jiujiu is awake. If she is, bring her over to have breakfast with me."
Lanzhi took the order and retreated.
Ji Qingwu turned around and asked another person, "Xuemei, is breakfast ready?"
Xuemei shook her head and said, "No."
Ji Qingwu frowned. She hadn't eaten anything last night and was feeling hungry now. Even if Wei Ting was not at home, the servants would not fail to prepare meals for her, right?
Xuemei was afraid that she might misunderstand, so she quickly explained, "The Wei family always has to go to the old lady's yard to have breakfast."
Ji Qingwu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Everyone is going?"
The Wei family has at least a hundred descendants. If so many people go to Old Madam Wei's yard, it will be so crowded that there will be no room at all.
Xuemei saw her doubts and said, "Madam, only the young men and women who are favored by the old lady can eat in the main room. The rest are in the side hall."
So that’s how it is. Ji Qingwu nodded.
Xuemei said, "I will accompany Madam there."
Ji Qingwu shook his head: "Who said I was going to go?"
