Chapter 426 Don't go, I know it hurts
She was testing herself to see if she had seen through her disguise.
Zhao Mingyan lifted her chin with his left hand and looked at her face.
This gaze was too oppressive. Ji Qingwu lowered his eyes and bit his lower lip lightly. Zhao Mingyan saw the bite mark on her lips again, and his expression gradually turned cold.
He said coldly: "I, you've been married before."
Hearing this, Ji Qingwu's eyelashes trembled twice. With this reaction, could it be that he really didn't recognize him? Did she get it wrong?
Then he brought a strange woman into the military tent in public and asked Li Yuzong to prepare water.
Ji Qingwu felt a bitter taste in his mouth, and his throat felt as if he had swallowed sand.
His fingers became more and more powerful, lifting her face higher, and he said meaningfully: "What are you going to do when you take off your clothes? Do I need to teach you this?"
Ji Qingwu was so angry at these words that she choked. Her eyes widened and she looked at him angrily.
Zhao Mingyan originally clamped her jaw, but he loosened his grip when he felt the water in her eyes.
"I thought you were very capable, but you are so angry now?"
Ji Qingwu suddenly bit his palm, but it didn't leave any teeth marks. Instead, it made his gums sore and his mouth was filled with sweat mixed with the salty taste of horsehide.
After biting the person, she lowered her head and bit her lip angrily.
Being caught off guard by the "attack", Zhao Mingyan withdrew his hand, raised his eyebrows and chuckled.
"Stop biting, or your lips will be torn apart."
He untied his cloak with one hand and wrapped it around her wet coarse dress.
"You think anyone can enter my tent? If you don't want to take off your wet clothes, just put on this first."
It turned out that they took off their clothes because they were afraid that she would catch a cold and get sick wearing wet clothes from the rain.
Ji Qingwu grasped the wolf hair by the rolled edge, pulled off the cloak and threw it aside, staring at him with shining eyes.
Seeing that she didn't appreciate it, Zhao Mingyan's breath sank.
I haven't seen you for a while and your temper has gotten worse.
"You'll be the one who suffers if you get cold." He said coldly and turned to leave.
Ji Qingwu hurriedly knelt up, her face wrinkled in pain from her knees, but she still pulled up his wrist bone accurately.
"Don't go."
Ji Qingwu's voice trembled a little because of the pain in his knee.
Zhao Mingyan's forearm, which was being held by her, moved slightly, and he could feel the great force with which she was gripping his wrist.
He looked down at her red and swollen fingers, and Ji Qingwu followed his gaze and looked at his own hands.
Because of putting out fires and saving lives, these hands were not at all white and clean. There was dirt in the round nails, which was very glaring when held on his jade-like wrist bones.
But Ji Qingwu still didn't let go, she held it even tighter.
Zhao Mingyan's Adam's apple rolled, and Ji Qingwu was worried that he was really going to leave, so he quickly spoke again.
"I want your majesty to hold me."
I don't want his cloak, but I want him to be by my side and to be held by him.
Ji Qingwu rarely said such blunt words, and his face turned red.
A dark light flashed in Zhao Mingyan's eyes. He turned around and, under Ji Qingwu's eager gaze, first looked at her knees.
Then, he walked out of the tent without saying a word.
Ji Qingwu watched his tall figure disappear before his eyes, his eyes red and multiple emotions surged in his heart. He didn't know why he became cold again.
How come it was nothing like she imagined? She seemed to have messed up again...
Ji Qingwu held back the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes. She looked at the furnishings in the tent and saw a map spread out on the sandalwood desk.
She stared at the sheepskin map with circles drawn on it with a cinnabar pen.
The war today was urgent, but fortunately, Emperor Wu Su's men returned safely. No, they appeared in front of her with slight flaws.
She had no other requests.
After Ji Qingwu reviewed his awkward behavior, he encouraged himself and planned to behave well later and never compete with him again.
When will Zhao Mingyan come back? Didn’t they say that we would hold a meeting in the military tent in half an hour?
Ji Qingwu was mumbling something to himself. He turned his head slightly and caught a glimpse of a person appearing at the door.
It was Emperor Wu Su who had returned. It was unknown how long he had been standing there, and whether he had heard her mumbling.
Zhao Mingyan was holding a medicine box in his hand and looking at her with deep eyes, which made Ji Qingwu feel a little uneasy.
She thought of her determination, and immediately smiled, calling out, "Your Majesty." Zhao Mingyan's eyebrows jumped, and he said coldly, "Don't smile, this face doesn't look good when you smile."
Ji Qingwu shut his mouth.
Why is he even angrier than when he left just now?
But what he said was true, her current face was indeed not as comfortable to look at as her own.
Ji Qingwu said: "How about I change it back now?"
As she said this, she endured the pain in her knees and tried to get up.
Zhao Mingyan strode forward and grabbed her waist to prevent her from moving.
Then, he knelt on one knee, and the medicine box in his hand hit the blue bricks with such a loud noise that the crows on the tent roof flew away.
Ji Qingwu was shocked when he saw the emperor condescending to him. He blocked his hand and said, "I'll do it myself. I can do it."
Zhao Mingyan grabbed her sleeve, carefully pushed her hand away, and looked up at her with a stern look.
"You can? You can hurt yourself like this?"
Ji Qingwu didn't dare to say a word.
Zhao Mingyan took out the medicine bottle and gauze from the medicine box, grabbed her ankle without saying a word, and pushed up her trouser legs.
Going up the slender and powerful calf, there was a large purple bruise on the knee, which formed a tragic contrast with the fair skin.
Ji Qingwu thought the injuries were severe, but he didn't expect them to be so serious. The injuries looked quite hideous.
She retracted her legs and was caught by his iron-like hands.
"Don't move."
His palms were warm and his movements were surprisingly gentle. When the medicine powder was sprinkled on the wound, Ji Qingwu couldn't help but shudder.
"Does it hurt?" Zhao Mingyan looked up at her expression.
Ji Qingwu first shook his head, and then nodded.
She whispered, "It hurts."
"The sand on the training ground was so hard. I was running so fast that I stepped on an arrow and tripped. I fell down and it hurt so much."
Zhao Mingyan paused his movements, his expression softened a lot, and a look of helplessness flashed across his eyes.
"Awu has really improved. He knows how to cry out in pain now."
Ji Qingwu's eyes flickered, and seeing that this "petition" method was effective, he continued, "I thought the horn sounding when the general returned to the camp meant that you were back, so I was so anxious."
Zhao Mingyan nodded, his lips curled slightly, and said: "In the end it was Wei Ting who came back. Did you go to meet him?"
Ji Qingwu whispered: ".......I should have known better and not gone. I fell for nothing."
Zhao Mingyan's movements in applying the medicine became slower and slower.
Ji Qingwu secretly put his hand on his shoulder to prevent him from leaving.
"Later, the food and grass caught fire. We went to put out the fire and someone was trapped under the red-hot bluestone. The stone was so heavy that I couldn't move it. It was also so hot that it hurt my fingers."
Ji Qingwu also showed him his red fingertips. The index finger on his right hand was the worst affected and had blisters on it.
