Chapter 333 Your Majesty wants to hear? You'll be unhappy if I really tell you.
The Prime Minister's Residence.
After Prince Yong left, Ji Qingwu also wanted to leave as soon as possible.
But there was one thing she still hadn't done.
Ji Qingwu quietly raised her eyes and glanced at the man beside her.
His gaze met Zhao Mingyan's dark eyes, and he asked, "Are you leaving again?"
Ji Qingwu said, "I still have some things to take care of, and His Majesty is aware of this."
Zhao Mingyan repeated, "Did I know?"
Ji Qingwu pondered, when she met Su Fengyue in his courtyard before, he had agreed to let her go and even told her the location. Now he wanted to go back on his word?
She still had Su Daiyue's belongings, which she wanted to return to her aunt; she had promised to do so.
She reminded him, "His Majesty just gave me directions."
Emperor Wusu remained noncommittal, his gaze falling on her disguised face, a face that bore a striking resemblance to her true self.
Only those eyes still shone brightly, as if washed clean.
She said he knew, which is true, but the way he knew was through his bodyguards.
Ji Qingwu always acts first and asks for permission later. He may seem timid, but he is actually willing to do anything and is not afraid of anything.
This girl has her own set of methods for doing things; she may look frail, but she can actually stir up a storm.
Tonight, she dared to break into the Su family's den of wolves with just the Wei family's little maid; this was a courage that ordinary women did not possess.
Even Si Hai vomited several times after seeing the things in Su Fengyue's secret room, but Ji Qingwu only felt sorry for the women and did not react much to the filth.
Most importantly, Ji Qingwu found evidence that even the secret guards couldn't find.
Today, the one who truly made a great contribution and brought down Su Fengyue is her.
They helped him move to a large mountain, but he still had one question.
Zhao Mingyan walked to the armchair next to him and sat down.
"There are other things I don't know, such as how you obtained those letters that colluded with the enemy?"
Judging from this, he intends to have a detailed discussion with her.
Ji Qingwu stood obediently in front of him, pinching her little finger, and placed her hands on her lower abdomen, trying her best to keep a normal expression.
“There was a bronze horse in the dark room. There was a mechanism on the horse’s belly. I happened to trigger the switch, which opened the door and revealed the letters and seals inside.”
Zhao Mingyan seemed very interested in this thing, raising an eyebrow and asking, "A bronze horse? What does it look like? I'll go take a look." As he spoke, he made a move to stand up.
If Emperor Wusu were to see the bronze horse, wouldn't it be easy to expose her secret? How would she then explain the origin of the key...?
Did it fall from the sky? Or was it picked up from the ground?
Ji Qingwu stepped forward, pressed his arm, and pushed him back into the chair, her expression revealing her anxiety.
If Emperor Wusu was unwilling, who could easily force him back? He clearly noticed something was wrong and was trying to tease her.
Ji Qingwu said, "It's just one of those bronze horses that are used on female prisoners in jail. There's nothing to see there."
"There's nothing to see..."
Zhao Mingyan raised his hand and lightly hooked his index finger, bringing Ji Qingwu even closer to him, her white skirt clinging to his coarse cloth.
He wrapped his arm around her waist and lifted her onto his lap.
"Why don't you tell me, Ah Wu, why does it look bad?"
Ji Qingwu nestled in his arms, thinking that the more detailed her description, the less likely he would want to bother reading it.
She recalled, "It was smaller than a normal horse, hollow in material, and the copper sheet was very thin. It was probably just for decoration and couldn't support the weight of a person sitting on it."
Is there anything else?
His hand rested on her hip, touching it intermittently.
Ji Qingwu endured the itch and continued, "Also, the bronze horse was originally covered with a piece of silk cloth."
Zhao Mingyan gestured several times, as if measuring her waist with his palm, and casually asked, "Nothing else?"
Want to hear something else?
Ji Qingwu hesitated for a moment. She stole a glance at Emperor Wu Su's face and saw that the corners of his lips were slightly curved, with a relaxed smile.
She compared them in her mind, and although they were somewhat evenly matched, she could still tell the difference in size.
She answered with absolute honesty, "It's bigger than yours."
After those four words were uttered, the room fell into a deathly silence.
Ji Qingwu tried to jump off him, but he held her down firmly on her lower back.
She had no doubt that without the barrier of this clothing, those fingers would have dug deep into her flesh.
Ji Qingwu pressed on his wrist and said, "Your Majesty wants to hear, but if I tell you, you won't be happy." His voice trailed off, fading into the air.
Zhao Mingyan tried his best to restrain himself from moving his hand, which was gripping her waist, to gripping the back of her neck.
Ji Qingwu explained tremblingly.
"Those are for criminals, so they naturally need to be more exaggerated to cause unbearable pain and thus serve as a punishment."
No matter how she explained, his face remained gloomy.
No man would be happy to hear that.
Ji Qingwu said, "However..."
She hesitated again, unsure whether to speak.
"But what?"
Ji Qingwu said in a voice barely above a whisper, "His Majesty's is no less so, and it's not much different from a torture device."
If it weren't for her special physique and the childbirth system she possessed, Ji Qingwu would have doubted she would have survived that day.
These words were spoken from the heart, and Emperor Wusu knew at a glance from her clear eyes that she was not lying at all.
Zhao Mingyan's forehead twitched violently, and a nerve in his brain throbbed.
He wanted to ask again, "Was there really no joy at all?" But he couldn't bring himself to ask.
He took several deep breaths before letting go of his arm.
Ji Qingwu stood up as if she had been granted a pardon. Her bottom had gone numb from sitting so long that she didn't dare to move an inch. She was no longer the naive girl she was yesterday. If she touched something she shouldn't have, she would be the one to suffer.
She hesitantly raised her eyes and glanced at him again.
"Don't look at me."
Zhao Mingyan's tone was more angry and annoyed, less calm than usual.
Ji Qingwu did not obediently look away, but instead stared intently at his tense chin, her expression focused, and she seemed somewhat mesmerized.
Because it was rare for her to see Emperor Wusu looking so frustrated and unable to express himself.
Ji Qingwu was secretly laughing to herself, her eyes sparkling.
Zhao Mingyan glanced at the sky outside. He didn't have much time left. The Su residence was still in chaos. He needed to leave before dawn. There were still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with at Lu Juan's place.
Before news of Su Fengyue's arrest spreads, Su Xiang's accomplices will also be detained and brought to justice; he cannot linger any longer.
After turning around, Zhao Mingyan had already composed himself.
"I will find a way to stabilize the military situation on the border as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Ji Qingwu's eyes widened slightly, and she asked, "Then will Wei Ting be able to return soon?"
Emperor Wusu's expression, which had just slightly improved, instantly turned stormy again.
