Chapter 111 A Problem with Offspring? Night Raid on the Camp
Princess Huachang felt that her tolerance for this brute had greatly changed.
In the past, she would have smashed the teacup outside the curtain long ago, and would have tolerated his many acts of insolence.
Through spending time together, she also discovered his strengths. He was not only warm-hearted, but also had a warm chest. He always greeted her with a smile, and having a strong shoulder to lean on at night made her sleep much better.
Although most of the time you're so tired you're drowsy, it has to be said that the way to improve a couple's relationship is to share a bed, talk about your private things, and do some loving and intimate things.
It's more direct and passionate than saying a lot.
Hearing no movement inside, Yu Chi Lianping wondered if she had fallen asleep. He asked doubtfully, "Miss Ji?"
Ji Qingwu quickly responded, afraid that he would say something shocking again. She walked to the tent door and said, "General Yuchi, please come in."
When Yuchi Lianping entered, he saw Princess Huachang sitting at the table, holding a white porcelain teacup tightly, looking at him with a complicated expression.
It's fortunate that the birds in the forest can't speak, given his shouting.
Otherwise, the whole city will know tomorrow that she feels sorry for him, so much so that she can't sleep at night! And she'll be in a hurry to go back to sleep!
Princess Huachang frowned and said in an unfriendly tone, "Didn't I send a guard to tell us to come over? Why did you come here?"
Yuchi Lianping was in a great mood, and no matter how cold the princess was, he was happy.
He smiled and said, "It's chilly outside at night, so it's better for me to come. Besides, it'll be dark on the way back, so I'll accompany the princess."
It was late at night, and Ji Qingwu felt it wasn't good for the two of them to stay at her place for too long, lest they really disturb the couple's sleep.
She said, "Since the general has come all this way in the dead of night, let me first examine your wound and see where it is."
"Check the injury?" Yu Chi Lianping was unusually embarrassed.
Because his scratch was on his thigh, it was not appropriate for him to show it to the girl.
Besides, what if the emperor found out...?
Just now at the dinner table, who could have touched the numb spot on his elbow from a distance without him noticing? Yu Chi Lianping already knew the answer in his heart.
It was definitely made by the emperor.
Yuchi Lianping had only said a few extra words to Miss Ji during the meal, yet Emperor Wusu acted in such a manner.
If Ji Qingwu were to actually treat his leg injury, after looking at his thigh, he would realize that there was no point in treating his thigh; it would be a waste of time, and he would probably be chopped off.
Princess Huachang's gaze shifted; she had forgotten about that—the wound's location wasn't quite right. But that was fine, as that wasn't her original intention.
Princess Huachang then coughed lightly and said, "Miss Ji, please take his pulse first to see if there is any internal injury."
Yuchi Lianping's eyes shone brightly. He immediately sat down. Now he was willing to listen to whatever the princess said. Even if she asked him to hunt ten more black bears, he would be motivated.
Through the prince consort's sleeve, Ji Qingwu examined the body for a while, and then his brow twitched.
She looked at the prince consort's stern profile, her eyes flashing with confusion and astonishment.
After a short while, Ji Qingwu withdrew his hand and did not mention anything wrong with the pulse. Instead, he said, "General's injury should only be superficial and has not affected your qi and blood. Applying some external medicine powder and cleaning the wound in time will be enough."
Yuchi Lianping straightened his sleeves and said nonchalantly, "No need for that trouble. I've already washed them. They're just minor injuries, nothing serious at all."
Princess Huachang looked at his thigh with a mixture of disbelief and skepticism.
He usually wears black, so you can't tell anything. However, he was still damp, so he must have taken a bath. The wound wouldn't be a problem if it got wet, so it shouldn't be anything serious.
Princess Huachang said coldly, "Since there's nothing wrong, you may go back."
Yuchi Lianping: ...
We can't just do whatever the eldest princess says.
He almost forgot why he came here; how could he just sit around doing nothing!
Yuchi Lianping immediately changed his tune, his eyebrows furrowing tightly.
"Something's happened, something really serious! My blood has stained the bathwater red! Princess, please come back with me to see what's going on."
Ji Qingwu could tell from his strong voice and ability to run and jump that he didn't seem like someone who had lost too much blood.
But Princess Huachang, thinking of the blood she had drawn from him, became flustered by his exaggerated claims and was actually fooled.
She was coaxed and tricked into returning by Yuchi Lianping.
Before they left, Ji Qingwu carefully explained to Princess Huachang how to clean her wounds.
He also whispered something in his ear.
Ji Qingwu watched the two leave.
The tall and strong prince consort looked weak and unsteady on his feet, needing someone to help him, yet he insisted on leaning his strong, hunched body against the slender princess.
After the two figures disappeared, Ji Qingwu sat in a chair with a furrowed brow.
Just before tonight, she had thought that Yuchi Lianping's feelings for Princess Huachang were more straightforward and easier to understand than those of a child.
but......
This pulse was not as the prince consort had indicated; she could clearly see something was amiss.
Ji Qingwu returned to the bed, still wearing her outer clothes, and left a lamp on.
Because what she had just whispered in Princess Huachang's ear was to ask the princess to come over tonight when she had some free time.
The prince consort's pulse was abnormal, which was detrimental to having offspring. She still needed to remind the princess of such an important matter as soon as possible.
The night was chilly.
A tent is not like a room, and the bed was cold. Ji Qingwu could only warm up the place where he was lying and dared not move easily.
A thin blanket was not enough to keep warm, so Ji Qingwu covered herself with everything she could, and only then did she barely feel cold.
Just then, there was another noise at the door, and someone pulled open the curtain.
The eldest princess arrived so quickly?
Ji Qingwu did not move, but looked up.
Emperor Wusu had already turned around and closed the tent flap. When he saw Ji Qingwu's appearance, a smile flashed in his eyes.
She wrapped herself up like a silkworm, leaving only her small, palm-sized face exposed. Her bright black eyes were wide open, staring straight at him.
"Your Majesty?" she asked in surprise.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't pull his hand out, Ji Qingwu would have wanted to rub his eyes.
In such a short time, he finished reviewing the memorials that were half his height. She thought to herself that even if he didn't become emperor, he would definitely achieve great things in any other profession.
The lamplight cast flickering shadows, half of Emperor Wusu's face was in shadow, yet the expression in his eyes and brows was extremely gentle.
Seeing the surprise still in her eyes, he said in a clear voice, "Didn't we just meet? Don't you recognize me after such a short time?"
Ji Qingwu tried to sit up, but the blankets and sheets wrapped around her were layered on top of each other, and the more she struggled, the tighter they became.
She struggled to sit up, and just as she pulled one arm out, Emperor Wusu stepped forward and took her outstretched, fair hand.
The man's fingers were strong and firm, yet dry and hot; a warm, melting sensation flowed directly from his palms into her body.
Feeling the only source of warmth in the midst of the cold, even the air around him seemed to have warmed up considerably.
Ji Qingwu really wanted to climb up his arm and hold on tight.
