Chapter 188 What a disobedient child! He doesn't listen to me at all!
Wei Ting secretly circulated his internal energy, only to find that it was blocked.
Ji Qingwu, who was on the high wall, has disappeared.
He chuckled, realizing that every time he came here, he would get some kind of medicine and have to go back with it.
This is getting more and more interesting.
Sanchuan and Sihai watched as the renowned General Zhenbei walked away with a smile on his lips.
The two exchanged a glance and breathed a sigh of relief.
They had no idea what drug they had been given.
Sihai felt his strength being drained and his internal energy being lost. He exclaimed in horror, "Sanchuan, my whole body is burning up. Could it be that I've been given some kind of drug that causes internal energy loss? We have to go find Miss Ji right away to get the antidote."
San Chuan gathered his strength and calmly said, "My internal energy is still there, it's just temporarily sealed."
Si Hai was relieved. He picked up the short blade from the ground, wiped it with the corner of his clothes, and then carefully put it into his pocket.
"Why did Miss Ji suddenly get angry? She looks really scary. No wonder the elders say that women and petty people are hard to deal with."
Sanchuan said, "It's not Miss Ji's fault. I just forgot that there were some precious herbs in this courtyard that we destroyed."
On ordinary days, they would hide in the shadows and often see Miss Ji and her maids tending to the flowers and plants, taking great care of them.
He should have kept it in mind. But the two brothers were already considered highly talented prodigies among the secret guards. When they encountered the highly skilled Wei Ting, they were so excited about fighting against a master that they forgot where they were.
Sihai wanted to climb over the wall to go back, but Sanchuan grabbed his arm.
He stopped her, saying, "Don't go over there."
Si Hai was puzzled: "Why can't we go? What kind of trap has Miss Ji set inside?"
Thinking of Ji Qingwu's angry appearance, he took a step back in fear.
San Chuan looked at the wall, his expression serious, and said in a low voice, "The master has arrived."
The entire world immediately fell silent.
Inside the red walls.
Ji Qingwu was about to climb down from the wall.
She looked down at the ladder to watch her step, just in case she slipped and fell. To her surprise, she saw a figure standing a few steps away on the gravel path.
She could easily recognize the imposing figure of Emperor Wusu with just one glance.
Ji Qingwu swayed, but fortunately, she was flexible and had good balance, so she used the momentum to sway back.
No one knows how long the emperor stood there silently.
Ji Qingwu quickly climbed down the ladder and stood at the base of the wall, looking at him with sparkling eyes.
Upon first seeing Emperor Wusu, she didn't know how to begin.
She gripped her fingers, wondering what to say first.
This was completely different from the fierce demeanor he had displayed in front of those three people.
At this moment, she was like a roaring little tiger that had retracted its claws and pretended to be a shy kitten.
Ji Qingwu didn't even need to think; he must have heard all of her fierce words just now.
Is it too late to start thinking about one's image now?
Her face flushed instantly, becoming as vibrant as the crimson peony brocade dress she wore.
Ji Qingwu pursed her lips and spoke first in a gentle tone.
"Your Majesty, have you come looking for me?"
Emperor Wusu, dressed in casual clothes, snorted coldly and said, "I didn't come to find you; I came to admire the flowers and plants."
The place was a complete mess; there was nothing to admire.
Ji Qingwu could tell that he was just saying things out of anger, so she took a few steps forward.
As she moved, the red veil beneath her skirt swayed.
Ji Qingwu lowered his head, his pupils dilating.
Without a mirror, she couldn't see her own reflection, but she acted as if nothing was wrong.
When she returned, she neither changed her clothes nor washed off her glamorous makeup.
Ji Qingwu was weeping inwardly. Just one night later, she had once again offended the emperor.
She managed to take two steps, but then took three steps back, pressing herself against the wall with a very upright posture.
Emperor Wusu stared at her, his eyes dark, as he approached her step by step.
His tone wasn't exactly angry, but it wasn't exactly friendly either: "Awu, you're really disobedient; you don't listen to me at all."
Yesterday, Emperor Wusu did not see Ji Qingwu in her heavily made-up appearance, but unexpectedly, he will see her again today.
Even more alluring and enchanting than the image he had imagined in his mind after reading the letter from all corners of the world, she was utterly otherworldly and refined.
Just as the emperor was about to reach her, Ji Qingwu braced herself against the wall behind her.
"Your Majesty, I have some things to do these past two days, which is why I dressed like this."
Emperor Wusu asked, "Why must Awu be dressed like this to do this?"
Ji Qingwu explained, "I went to see Old Madam Wei."
The emperor hasn't read today's secret report yet, because Sanchuan and Sihai are still busy fighting with Weiting.
Upon hearing this, his face darkened: "You're in such a hurry to see his grandmother."
Ji Qingwu widened her eyes and said, "I heard that Old Madam Wei dislikes glamorous women the most, so I thought of showing up in front of her."
His eyes widened in surprise, and he raised an eyebrow, saying, "You want to use the old lady to end this marriage?"
Emperor Wusu finally showed a slight smile.
Ji Qingwu nodded hurriedly: "Your Majesty, that's right. I've been preparing for this for a long time."
I also noticed that the curve of his lips seemed to be widening.
Ji Qingwu felt that he had finally found the right way to get along with the emperor.
She touched the hairpin on her head and said in a coquettish voice, "These hair ornaments and gold hairpins are giving me a headache."
After she finished speaking, she carefully observed the corners of his lips.
She continued sweetly, "I got up really early this morning. I started getting ready before dawn and have been busy until now. My back aches and my legs hurt."
The emperor, who gets up earlier than the rooster every day, listened to her gentle tone as she spoke of how difficult it is to get up early.
He even felt a pang of pity for her.
The indifference in his eyes had vanished, replaced by a radiant glow.
Ji Qingwu pressed on, saying, "Your Majesty, I only did this because I didn't want to marry Wei Ting. I really didn't mean to."
It turns out she wasn't unaware of what he liked to hear.
Ji Qingwu only told him the truth after she had finished everything; she was a woman of her own mind.
Emperor Wusu felt deeply gratified.
She didn't rely on anyone to help her refuse the marriage proposal; instead, she quietly thought of a solution and took concrete actions to resolve it.
Moreover, this method is quite good; Old Madam Wei is one of the few people who can stop Wei Ting.
Today, we're taking a two-pronged approach with him.
After this incident, Emperor Wusu realized that he had always thought too much about her, considering her too weak.
He should have known.
He should have realized this sooner; she shouldn't have been a delicate flower he kept in a greenhouse.
She would not be a canary he kept in the palace, a cage.
She remains as strong as ever, gentle yet resilient, and will stop at nothing to achieve what she sets her mind to.
Aside from their childhood, their first meeting was neither at Mingjing Lake nor in a military camp.
