Chapter 110 My heart aches so much I can't sleep.
Yu Chi Lianping was indignant. If no one else served him food, did that mean he couldn't eat?
He had just picked up his chopsticks when Emperor Wusu gave him a look.
Li Yuzong quickly moved the jade scroll to the spot next to Ji Qingwu.
Yu Chi Lianping's chopsticks missed their target. He once again overturned his previous assessment of this Miss Ji. She needed someone to serve her food and even had to have her plate carried for her. This girl was extremely spoiled.
But he didn't think about why Ji Qingwu could have the Grand Eunuch personally serving him when changing dishes.
After the group finished their meal.
Li Yuzong brought over a pile of memorials from the Hall of Diligent Governance and stacked them on the desk in the main tent.
Looking at the memorial that was half a person tall, Ji Qingwu felt sorry for the emperor and thought it would be hard to digest. The group of people did not dare to disturb Emperor Wusu's handling of state affairs and quietly withdrew.
The night grew deeper.
Ji Qingwu returned to her tent to rest. Just as she lay down, there was a knock at the door.
It was Princess Huachang who lifted the curtain and entered.
Ji Qingwu asked in surprise, "Your Highness, the Eldest Princess?"
"I see the light in your tent is still on. I have something to discuss with you, but it wasn't convenient to talk earlier because there were too many people around," Princess Huachang continued. "You don't need to get up. I can talk to you here."
But there's no reason for the eldest princess to sit while she lies down.
Ji Qingwu sat up, put on his outer robe, got off the bed, and walked to a chair to the side.
She tentatively asked, "Your Highness, have you been feeling unwell lately?"
Princess Huachang shook her head: "There's nothing wrong. I came here to ask you to take my pulse and see if there's anything wrong with my body."
She sighed inwardly; the fact that nothing seemed amiss was the biggest problem.
Princess Huachang takes the health-preserving pills that Ji Qingwu gives her every day, and these days she has also indulged Yuchi Lianping's nonsense. Her dark circles under her eyes have become more pronounced, and she has to apply a lot of pearl powder to salvage the situation.
Despite her efforts, her period still arrived on time.
Princess Huachang had no way to express her bitterness. Even if she didn't see Ji Qingwu here, she would find an excuse to meet her in a few days.
"Miss Ji, please help me figure out what's going on."
Ji Qingwu wanted to find a brocade handkerchief to drape over the princess's wrist, but there was no such personal item for a young woman in the tent.
Princess Huachang was reluctant to touch outsiders, but the situation was urgent. She looked down at Ji Qingwu's fair, unpainted fingertips and thought that it wasn't impossible to be touched by such clean and beautiful fingers.
She said, "Let's get a diagnosis right away."
Ji Qingwu was slightly surprised, noticing that Princess Huachang was quite different from when she first met her. Although her appearance was still ethereal and beautiful, she had become more lively, her eyes and brows were more expressive, and she was no longer so aloof.
With her long eyelashes lowered, her warm fingers rested on the princess's wrist, her expression serene and peaceful.
Princess Huachang slowed her breathing, awaiting her diagnosis.
After about half an incense stick's time, Ji Qingwu withdrew his hand and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Seeing that her expression was not quite right, Princess Huachang hesitated before speaking, "Is it because... is it because too much of a good thing that being too diligent is actually damaging to one's health?"
Ji Qingwu shook his head: "No, Your Highness, don't worry, you are perfectly fine."
The health-preserving pills given to Princess Huachang were all personally prepared by her, so there won't be any problems. The pulse reading just now also showed that the princess's constitution is better than before, with smooth and abundant Qi and blood.
The land was fertile enough to nourish the land, but the problem was...
On the oxen plowing the fields.
Ji Qingwu frowned and asked, "Your Highness, has the Prince Consort shown any unusual behavior?"
Princess Huachang asked intently, "What kind of error are you referring to?"
Ji Qingwu thought for a moment and then said tactfully, "For example, feeling powerless?"
Princess Huachang shook her head decisively. Yuchi Lianping had inexhaustible energy, and he was always very capable when handling these matters.
Ji Qingwu said, "May I take General Yuchi's pulse?"
Princess Huachang also had the same idea.
Ji Qingwu added, "Just say that General Yuchi's wounds need treatment, and since there are no female physicians here, the Princess came to ask me for help."
After several encounters, she had come to understand Yuchi Lianping's personality to some extent. If she directly stated the reason, he would inevitably say a few words without restraint.
This isn't the Princess's residence. With so many outsiders here, it wouldn't be good if they overheard us.
Moreover, if the problem really lies with the prince consort, then it is even more important not to let him know her true intentions in the past.
Meanwhile, Yuchi Lianping took a bath in his tent and came out to find that the Princess was gone.
He was sitting at the table, sulking, with a sour face.
When the guard entered, he was almost scared out of his wits by the look on the man's face. He stammered, "General Yuchi, the Princess has sent word that she has asked Miss Ji to treat your wounds. She will be here soon. Please get ready."
Yuchi Lianping immediately beamed with joy, finding the guard much more pleasing to the eye.
He laughed and said, "Oh, is that so? I know. You may leave now."
He knew that the ice would eventually warm up.
Yuchi Lianping became happier and happier as he thought about it, only to realize later that Princess Huachang had openly challenged the emperor on his behalf.
Overwhelmed with excitement, Yu Chi Lianping could no longer sit still. He didn't want to wait for Ji Qingwu and the others to come over, so he pushed open the curtains and rushed out.
Just as Ji Qingwu was dressed and about to go out, she heard a man's voice coming from outside the tent.
The two looked at the tall, strong, and muscular figure.
Knowing that one could not enter the women's tent at will, Yuchi Lianping stood at the door and did not rush in.
He said loudly, "Ahem! I was only scratched a few times by the little bear cub, but my princess was so worried about my injury that she couldn't sleep. While I was away, she came to ask Miss Ji to treat my wound. I apologize for disturbing you! It's all my fault!"
Yuchi Lianping spoke loudly and deliberately at the door, "I will take the Princess back to her tent!"
The voice was powerful and penetrating; it's no exaggeration to say that it could be heard clearly within a radius of 100 meters.
Duan Mingfeng, who had just started to feel sleepy due to insomnia, instantly woke up, his face filled with a sinister expression.
The black-armored guards on patrol: ...
Wasn't it rumored that the Princess and the General were only superficially married and had a bad relationship? Why are they being so affectionate late at night?
Inside the tent, Ji Qingwu couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
When he met Princess Huachang's annoyed gaze, the corners of his mouth fell back down.
Her eyes were filled with a smile. Regardless of anything else, the relationship between the two was indeed getting better and better. It seemed that what happened with Ji Changlin last time had not had any impact on them.
Thinking of his elder brother, who was far away in the southern Chu, eating sand and dust, Ji Qingwu sighed softly.
Seeing no sound from inside, Yuchi Lianping called out loudly, "Miss Ji, I am perfectly fine. The night is long and you have no desire to sleep, so please don't disturb my husband and me from getting some rest."
Ji Qingwu, who was accused of disturbing the couple's sleep, remained silent for a moment.
Cai said, "Your Highness, please invite the Prince Consort in first. If we wait any longer, the entire camp will probably be unable to sleep."
