Chapter 443 One Hundred and Twenty-Four Words

Ji Qingwu lowered his eyes and looked at their intertwined fingers.

She deliberately dragged out the last word, and her fingertips gently stroked the calluses on his knuckles.

"What I'm saying is that the past is like a passing cloud, it has long gone."

Zhao Mingyan's eyebrows jumped, and the military book slammed down on the sandalwood table, his eyes seemed to be immersed in a deep pool.

"Who are you talking to, Awu?"

After he left, Zhao Mingyan already knew who Ji Qingwu could say such things to and who she could have interacted with in the army.

Ji Qingwu did not answer directly, but hooked his finger and shook it.

She curved her watery eyes, a smile on her lips: "Your Majesty, do you think what I said is right? Things in the past should be let go, I have already forgotten them."

Zhao Mingyan's eyes darkened immediately, and he said, "What Ah Wu said is true, there is no reason why it is wrong."

Ji Qingwu smiled even more brightly, hooked her fingers around his and pressed hard, she stamped his hand heavily with her thumb.

Zhao Mingyan finally couldn't hold it anymore. From his chin upwards, the muscles on his face relaxed little by little, and the smile lines at the corners of his mouth deepened. He grasped her hand in his palm and held it tightly.

The anger in his heart was swept away.

Ji Qingwu really knew what he really cared about. It wasn't that she was stupid, but she was unwilling to think and guess.

The relationship between her and Sihai was just that of master and servant, and there was no transgression at all. She just found a name to make it easier for her to escape.

But Wei Ting was different. Ji Qingwu once chased after him and tried every means to make him smile. Moreover, Wei Ting and she were really husband and wife in name only.

Now, hearing her own words about her past with Wei Ting, she realized that it was all just a passing cloud and she had let it go.

The thick fog hidden deep in Zhao Mingyan's heart melted away. He raised his chin towards Li Yuzong, and the latter walked out of the tent and waited outside the door.

Ji Qingwu saw the little wolf flash by the door, still wagging its big furry tail at her.

Zhao Mingyan completely gave up reading the military book and pushed everything on the desk aside. He stared at her face carefully.

"What else did Ah Wu say to him?"

When Ji Qingwu thought about what he had said in front of Wei Ting about the clouds and Wushan, his ears started to catch fire and burned like rubies.

She really couldn't bring herself to say this in front of Emperor Wu Su.

Ji Qingwu's hand was squeezed by him, Zhao Mingyan raised his eyebrows slightly, urging her to speak quickly.

She looked back at his face, but chose to change the subject.

"In this case, Your Majesty, please don't pursue the past, okay?"

Ji Qingwu's fingers were still hooked on his, and he said helplessly: "Si Hai and I pretend to be a couple, but there is no other way."

She really had no better way, and this way of self-protection was the limit of what she could think of.

Ji Qingwu found out the source of this incident. It was all because she broke the appointment when the emperor set off at night.

She said with regret, "I didn't mean to break the appointment that day. It was my elder sister who had difficulties giving birth."

Ji Qingwu did not talk about the family affairs of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, but just mentioned it in a few words.

"I promised your majesty that I would go to the North with you, and I will do it."

Zhao Mingyan did not wait for Ji Qingwu at that time. Sanchuan came to report that she was delayed because of the delivery of the wife of the Crown Prince of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

He first breathed a sigh of relief, then made a decision immediately and assigned half of the secret guards to keep a special eye on her safety.

It was not enough for Yuan Heng and Jiujiu to leave only Prince Yong in the palace, so he sent Duan Mingfeng as well.

But after setting off, his heart seemed to feel empty.

Zhao Mingyan's voice became hoarse as he asked, "Did the secret guards who stayed behind tell you the instructions I left behind?"

Ji Qingwu immediately pouted in grievance. The secret guards not only said it, but also carried it out thoroughly, not allowing her to leave Lin'an at all.

Zhao Mingyan frowned and said, "You are always disobedient."

During the raid on Xijin, he narrowly escaped the attack of the Wolf King. When he returned to the barracks and saw the burned granary, all he could think about was how to make Xijin pay with blood.

But when he was driving the horse away, his eyes caught a glimpse of a figure kneeling on the wet ground. His limbs moved before his brain, and he tightened the reins and turned the horse around.

When Zhao Mingyan saw clearly the woman kneeling behind the crowd, who was soaked all over, with torn clothes and red and swollen knuckles, he sighed in his heart.

He ordered her to raise her face, and as expected, what he saw was another gray face.

Only those eyes were left, still as bright and lively as ever, without any impurities, looking at him purely and pitifully.

At that time, Zhao Mingyan felt that the missing piece in his heart was finally filled.

But this piece of flesh and blood had caused him so much pain that even after he returned, his heart ached.

Seeing the emperor's frown, Ji Qingwu didn't dare to say anything for a long time.

The tent fell into silence.

He said that she was disobedient, so should she wait obediently in Lin'an for him to come back?

Ji Qingwu's fingers curled up a few times and suddenly broke free from his hand.

Under Zhao Mingyan's surprised gaze, Ji Qingwu stood up, walked towards the inner room, and searched for her luggage in the cabinet beside the bed.

Zhao Mingyan's eyebrows were about to be twisted into a knot, and he called out in a deep voice: "Awu."

Ji Qingwu turned a deaf ear and continued searching. Seeing that she had no intention of leaving with the bag, Zhao Mingyan's eyes flashed and his tone softened a lot.

"Awu, what are you looking for?"

Ji Qingwu returned to the desk with something in her hand, and she threw it directly back into the emperor's arms.

Perhaps because he was upset, Ji Qingwu failed to control his strength, and the jade handle of the imperial edict brushed past his tense chin, leaving a little red mark.

Zhao Mingyan's face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

These hundreds of families requested the imperial decree to establish the queen, but they didn't expect that after giving it to someone, they would have to return it again and again.

Zhao Mingyan felt a pain in his heart and the veins on his forehead popped out.

"Awu, don't be willful!"

Ji Qingwu stood in front of him, his posture very straight, like a soldier standing guard at the gate of a military camp.

She stared at him straight, pursed her lips several times until they were bloodless, and clenched her hands into fists.

Zhao Mingyan tried hard to suppress his anger and watched her reaction with a dark gaze.

Could it be that he wants to rush over and give him a few punches?

Zhao Mingyan narrowed his eyes. If Ji Qingwu left in anger again, he would still be the first to bow his head.

He thought carefully and decided that it would be better to solve the problem now.

Zhao Mingyan sighed and said, "Awu, I don't mean to blame you."

Ji Qingwu, however, stretched out his hand with a serious face, stopped it in front of his face, and signaled him not to speak for the time being.

Zhao Mingyan's eyes flickered, and he finally stopped talking.

Compared with Ji Qingwu's serious actions, her voice was much weaker.

"One hundred and twenty-four words."

Zhao Mingyan's eyes fixed on her clenched fist.
