Chapter 481 Finale: Listening to the Phoenix Song in the Phoenix Palace
At first, Ji Qingwu just wanted to ask the system to see when Emperor Wu Su’s heartbeat value began to increase.
As a result, each person has his own system, and the system can be traced back to that night in the military tent five years ago.
At that time, General Dingbei's heartbeat value had reached 82%, far exceeding the scope of favorability.
After so many things happened, Ji Qingwu had long doubted what happened that night, and the fact that Emperor Wu Su accepted the fact that he had special abilities was so smooth that it was abnormal.
Now that I think about it, it’s not that he accepted it too quickly, but that he already knew it.
It turned out that he had been interested in her before she appeared in his military tent.
That night someone was waiting for the "rabbit"!
Ji Qingwu still remembered that the emperor had often used this matter to find fault with her.
She pulled her hand back, sat up straight, and said with a fake smile, "Your Majesty, you can start explaining now."
Zhao Mingyan's eyes flickered, looking around for a landing point.
He whispered, "I was planning to tell you this, but I'm not as brave as Ah Wu."
Ji Qingwu thought about how frightened she once was and how she had nightmares for many nights in a row after returning to Lin'an.
She snorted and said, "It's too late to say good things about me now. Tell the truth."
Zhao Mingyan's eyes deepened, and the past events came back to him.
After knowing that he was destined to have no offspring, he did not take it seriously, because it was not important to him whether he had offspring or not.
But Master Liaoran told him another fortune and sent him a message saying that the girl of destiny would come to him and he just had to wait.
Zhao Mingyan casually threw the letter into the fire, and set off for Ninghe Town with his confidants at night, where he unexpectedly ran into Ji Qingwu who was kneeling on the ground to save people.
Looking at this fragile girl who is as delicate as a flower, she is actually as tough as cattail and as transparent as a dewdrop.
After returning to the camp, he locked himself in the military tent for five hours, planning how to establish a new dynasty.
And, other things...
For ordinary people, having no offspring is fine, but for an emperor, having no offspring means disaster. Therefore, he had some expectations for the girl of destiny mentioned in Master Liaoran's letter.
But it has nothing to do with love, it's more like a cooperation.
On the third day, Zhao Mingyan saw the girl who saved people that night in the northern military camp, and he stopped in his tracks.
But she followed another person, talking and laughing in a cute way, which made his heart shrink again and again.
On that day, he practiced swordplay with great concentration, and he chopped through more than twenty wooden targets on the training ground.
The military camp in the North is so large that two people may not see each other for half a year unless they take a detour.
Zhao Mingyan often practiced riding and shooting on a whim during the day, and would suddenly patrol the camp or go out to see the scenery at night. In this way, he learned her name and identity, and also knew how deeply in love this new military doctor was with General Zhenbei.
For many long nights that followed, when he woke up, a corner of his bed was wet and cold.
She is in my dreams.
She either cried helplessly, or held a knife against him, or cursed him viciously, but without exception, she did it unwillingly.
A year passed, and King Liang became more and more foolish and unjust. Zhao Mingyan secretly recruited soldiers and more and more soldiers joined him. He only needed to wait for an opportunity to send troops.
That opportunity is——the arrival of the girl of destiny.
Master Liangran made another detailed divination, gave the time and direction, and said that the celestial phenomena showed that Jupiter would be in conjunction with the axis, and his fate of having no descendants would be broken that night.
Zhao Mingyan was well prepared. He knew that the tea delivered into the tent was different, but he wanted to see what the woman wanted to do and to what extent she could do it, so he replaced it with ordinary aphrodisiac and drank it.
Half an hour later, a figure stealthily opened the curtain and saw him lying on the bed with his eyes closed, as if he had let out a light breath.
Zhao Mingyan opened his eyes. He could never have imagined that the person coming would be her.
He looked at Ji Qingwu's approaching figure with a stern look in his eyes.
She was very straightforward. Without saying a word, she jumped onto the bed and started to take off her clothes.
When her eyes met his, she seemed extremely frightened, and tremblingly took out a ribbon from her sleeves to tie up his hands and feet.
Zhao Mingyan's eyes turned fierce. He was angry that she had someone in her heart and yet she shamelessly provoked him.
But the angriest person was himself.
He could have easily broken free from the thin straps, but he didn't. Instead, he let her do whatever she wanted to him.
Afterwards, Ji Qingwu covered his eyes, but hesitated for a long time. He could clearly hear her choked voice in his ears. She didn't know what to do and was almost crying in anxiety.
What she didn't notice was that it was only after he straightened his back that the matter went on smoothly.
Zhao Mingyan thought a lot in his mind. No matter what the reason was, she appeared in his military tent, spent a night with him, and became his.
He can let bygones be bygones for what happened before.
Zhao Mingyan despised himself in his heart, for having become a person like King Liang who was blinded by lust.
Everyone in the military camp knew about the ambiguous relationship between Ji Qingwu and Wei Ting.
Even if Wei Ting hid his thoughts well, and seemed ruthless to outsiders, he could also see that Wei Ting had already followed her flow.
If he wants to raise an army, he must win over Wei Ting. If he breaks up with him because of a woman, it will be more trouble than gain.
But if this woman is her...
While Zhao Mingyan was still hesitating, Ji Qingwu picked up her skirt and left. She slipped away incredibly quickly and completely disappeared in the Northern Border Military Camp.
No one had ever dared to treat him like this. He tore the ropes around his hands and sat up.
The scent of her body was still lingering in the tent. Her anger was about to burst out of her chest. Zhao Mingyan looked gloomy, and she had never thought of staying with him.
With his pride, he disdains to force a woman to stay with him, even her.
More than nine months later, the deputy general came running over and said that someone was looking for him at the camp gate. It was a woman with a baby.
Zhao Mingyan couldn't tell what he felt at the time, whether it was more of surprise or annoyance, but his hands and feet had already moved. He rode his horse to the gate, but the woman he saw was not her.
Zhao Mingyan raised the heavy sword in her right hand and picked up the cloth wrapped around the child. The baby boy in the cradle had a koi jade pendant hanging on his body. He cried loudly. Although his eyes had not been opened yet, his nose and lips were very similar to hers.
He sneered, she really came to help him have an heir.
That's all.
That day was a rare sunny day.
But even though he had a child, Zhao Mingyan, a new father, was not happy at all.
Today, Zhao Mingyan learned the news that Ji Qingwu was pregnant. She was sitting in front of him, and although she had an interrogative expression on her face, he knew that she would not leave again.
Zhao Mingyan suddenly knelt on one knee, bent down, hugged Ji Qingwu, and buried his head in her waist and abdomen.
Ji Qingwu just wanted an explanation. She wanted to pry some old things out of the emperor, such as when he became interested in her, because she didn't remember that they had ever met before.
But he ended up looking so fragile and pitiful.
Ji Qingwu wanted to comfort him, and just as she put her fingers on his shoulders, he tightened his arms around her waist, then realized something and immediately relaxed his arms.
"Awu."
"Say you'll never leave me again."
Emperor Wu Su suddenly became childish, and he kept rubbing her waist until she spoke.
The purple-gold crown on his head scraped against the fabric of her clothes with golden phoenix pattern, making Ji Qingwu feel very itchy.
The laughter reached outside Chenning Palace.
Li Yuzong and Fanghua, who were standing at the door, heard the noise inside. The emperor and the empress had reconciled, and they smiled at each other.
The copper bell carved with phoenix patterns under the eaves of the corridor was hot in the bright sunshine and swayed with the queen's laughter.
The ethereal and melodious sound of the phoenix's cry could be heard throughout the Phoenix Palace.
