Chapter 427 I'm so flattered
Zhao Mingyan lifted her wrist and applied medicine on her palm and fingertips.
Ji Qingwu said: "There is a young soldier under the stone. He was seriously injured in order to protect a bag of millet seeds. No matter how I try..."
As she spoke, she became more and more aggrieved.
Ji Qingwu said with a choked voice: "I can't save him no matter what."
Zhao Mingyan put the medicine bottle back into the medicine box, stood up and sat beside her. He stretched out his long arms, pulled her into his arms, and gently stroked her back with his palm.
His voice was low: "You have tried your best."
Until someone comforted him, and that person was Emperor Wu Su, Ji Qingwu could no longer stop sobbing.
"If, if it wasn't for that fallen pillar, I might be able to, I could save his life..."
Her crystal tears were like beads that had broken off the string, falling one after another on Zhao Mingyan's black armor. The dragon scale patterns were soaked with tears and glowed faintly.
The warm big palm patted her back gently, and the silent comfort gradually calmed her emotions.
Ji Qingwu buried his face above his collarbone.
There is no thick armor plate here, only the collar of the middle garment.
Until Zhao Mingyan felt that the collar of his clothes was wet, tears were still flowing from the corners of Ji Qingwu's eyes, and his expression was aggrieved and helpless.
He bent his head and kissed away the tears from her eyes.
His lips were warm and soft. Ji Qingwu blinked her eyelashes gently. She thought of something and wiped away her tears with her hands.
Zhao Mingyan asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Ji Qingwu's eyes were swollen like walnuts. She said embarrassedly: "There is still dust on my face..."
And it’s someone else’s face.
Her previous disguise was creative and she played with it, but now she copied Chunhua's face exactly.
Zhao Mingyan flicked the teardrops still hanging on her eyelashes with his long fingers and said teasingly, "They have long been washed away by your tears."
He held her face and smiled, "It's better not to wipe it."
A hint of confusion flashed across Ji Qingwu's eyes.
The tip of her nose moved and she smelled a strong smell of medicine. The medicine she had just applied on her hands was rubbed onto her face again. Now her face must be covered with clown medicine.
Ji Qingwu felt embarrassed by his smiling gaze, and just when Zhao Mingyan thought she was going to lower her head and act like a coward.
She rushed over again and rubbed her face into the crook of his neck.
Zhao Mingyan was surprised by her initiative and hugged her tightly, wrapping his long arms around her waist, being careful not to touch the injured knee.
Ji Qingwu rubbed his face back and forth on his neck, like a little animal being affectionate and coquettish.
The corners of Zhao Mingyan's lips curled up silently, and he asked, "What is Ah Wu doing?"
Ji Qingwu used his chin to gently lift the back of his ear, and his voice became muffled and soft after crying, like a ripe peach.
"Your Majesty is also injured, so I'll give you some of the ointment as well."
She smiled, her breath sprayed on his ear, and her lips brushed his earlobe.
Zhao Mingyan raised his left eyebrow, and his deep eyes suddenly lit up, and his dark pupils dilated slightly.
There was a long scratch on the back of his neck, which had already scabbed over and didn't look serious.
But just looking at the wound marks, they are a bit strange and it is hard to tell what kind of weapon caused the injury.
Ji Qingwu was about to ask something, but Zhao Mingyan pressed his thin shoulders and pulled him out of his arms.
Having suddenly lost his support and warmth, Ji Qingwu's eyes were filled with confusion.
Zhao Mingyan stared into her eyes and asked, "Did I really recognize the wrong person?"
Ji Qingwu was stunned.
She has done this and that, will she still admit her mistakes?
Zhao Mingyan pinched her face and pulled it left and right, as if he was really trying to find out whether the person under that face was her.
Ji Qingwu pouted in dissatisfaction and asked, "Could it be that Your Majesty would kneel on the ground and personally treat the wounds of other women and apply medicine?"
There was undisguised joy in Zhao Mingyan's eyes, and he touched her lips.
"But I remember that my Ah Wu has never been so considerate and would even think of ways to apply medicine for me."
He sighed, "I'm really flattered."
The corners of Ji Qingwu's lips curled up, his eyes were moist and bright, reflecting his handsome eyebrows.
She said proudly: "I have always been so considerate, I have been like this before..."
Zhao Mingyan asked, "What happened?"
Ji Qingwu paused. When he applied the medicine that time, Emperor Wu Su was still unconscious in Zhaoyang Palace.
At this moment, she thought about it again, feeling sad and guilty. If she hadn't pulled too many life-saving herbs from Wutong Garden, her true energy wouldn't have been disrupted by accident.
This time, Ji Qingwu secretly made up his mind to stay by his side and never make the same mistake again.
Ji Qingwu raised the corners of his lips and said, "Your Majesty, there are many things you don't know. It's just that I do good things and don't like to leave a name behind."
Zhao Mingyan looked at her smug look, and his heart moved, and he was about to lower his head.
"Your Majesty, Lord Li requests to see you!"
Li Yuzong's sharp voice came from outside the tent.
Ji Qingwu said, "Business matters are more important. I'll go inside and take shelter first."
Zhao Mingyan held her down, frowning slightly, obviously unhappy about being interrupted.
Ji Qingwu imitated his previous behavior, tapped his lips, and said with a smile: "I will wait for Your Majesty."
Zhao Mingyan lowered his eyes to look at her fingers, then turned back to her lips. A struggle flashed in his eyes. When Ji Qingwu tried to dodge back, he raised his hand and pressed her shoulder.
This time, it was his turn not to want her to leave.
Then, Zhao Mingyan raised his voice to the outside: "What's the matter?"
Li Yuzong said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Lord Li has been ordered to send the elite troops back, and intends to resign with you and return to Longzhou. In addition, there is another matter to report to you."
Zhao Mingyan put the cloak over Ji Qingwu's head and said, "Let him in."
Covered by a thick coat, Ji Qingwu could only show half of his face.
The military tent was opened, and Li Chengxun came in and smelled the medicine first. He lowered his head and said, "Your humble servant greets the emperor."
Zhao Mingyan walked to the sandalwood table and sat down.
"Get up."
Li Chengxun stood up and stepped aside, saying: "Your Majesty, the suppression of the bandits in Black Wind Village has come to an end..."
When his eyes saw the person sitting on the couch and the medicine box on the ground, his voice paused noticeably.
When Ji Qingwu heard the words "Black Wind Village", he also looked over there.
It just so happened that their eyes met Li Chengxun's for a moment.
Li Chengxun immediately lowered his head, suppressed his surprise, and continued: "The three bandit leaders have agreed to surrender under the persuasion of General Zhenbei, and have already handed over the information of Xijin's secret agents, but they have made a request."
The three brothers of the Hu family have found Qi Peiyao. As expected, only they can open the secret passage. Currently, they are still being guarded in the village.
After hearing this, Zhao Mingyan asked in a deep voice, "Is this a very difficult request?"
Curiosity also appeared in Ji Qingwu's eyes. It must be a problem that is not easy to solve, otherwise Li Chengxun would not have reported it to the emperor.
Li Chengxun said: "There was a woman in the convoy that the bandits hijacked who was good at delivering babies. She was once favored by the bandit's wife, but after rescuing the hostages, the woman disappeared with her husband."
Ji Qingwu blinked. He must be talking about her.
