Chapter 389 Go Along! An Unexpected Incident
The sound came from behind her.
Ji Qingwu clutched his chest, startled.
I was tidying up my things in the house and walked back and forth several times, but I didn't see another living person.
He didn't leave.
They're still by my side.
But it was only temporary...
It was getting dark outside, and there were no lights on inside the house.
Ji Qingwu felt that he was radiating light.
She bit her lip, her heart initially filled with joy, but this was quickly followed by annoyance.
Ji Qingwu held back. She had already reflected on herself and realized that she should speak properly, especially when parting. If she waited until there was no chance to say it later, it would be too late to regret it.
Why haven't you left yet?
Ji Qingwu pursed her lips after she finished speaking.
She didn't mean to send him away, but the words just came out like that, and she was even more annoyed with herself.
Judging from her expression, Zhao Mingyan assumed she was still angry.
"If he leaves, how will I ever see Ah Wu's vivid expressions or hear Ah Wu's true feelings again?"
What did she really say?
Ji Qingwu frowned and said, "I don't want to be the Empress Dowager."
Zhao Mingyan said bluntly, "I won't give you that chance, at least not in the next fourteen years."
Fourteen years... how come there are still odd numbers?
Zhao Mingyan looked at the large bundle on the table and asked, "Why are you packing all this?"
Seeing his obnoxious, knowing look, Ji Qingwu said, "Since His Majesty is off to pursue his own great cause, I also want to fulfill my own ideals. I'll travel around this beautiful land, and if I happen to encounter something I like—"
Zhao Mingyan's face darkened, his brows furrowed slightly, and he asked in a menacing tone, as if a storm was brewing.
What do you like?
Ji Qingwu's brows relaxed as he said, "Of course, we'll stay wherever we like."
Zhao Mingyan's expression softened slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "You still want to stay? No way."
Why not?
Ji Qingwu did not shed tears or cry in front of him as before.
Instead, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you can just go and lead the expedition in person. I'll just enjoy a few days of leisure. Since Your Majesty isn't here, you can't control me."
She said with considerable confidence, "Even His Majesty's secret guards can't stop me. I'll always find a way out."
Zhao Mingyan shattered her illusions, saying, "Their martial arts skills are all superior to yours; it would be easy for them to stop you."
Ji Qingwu responded with an "oh," her voice tinged with doubt.
"Does Your Majesty not remember? The whole world has already been bestowed upon me, but even if Your Majesty sends more people, it will be of no use."
Ji Qingwu took a few steps forward and approached him.
"If I recklessly force my way in, they will never dare to stop me, because..."
Zhao Mingyan raised an eyebrow, staring at her lips, wanting to see what other "outrageous" things she could say.
Ji Qingwu laughed, her full, peach-petal-like lips curving upwards in a seductive arc.
She raised her hand and placed it on his chest, gently stroking it again and again.
Her tone was soft and gentle, with a sweet, soft ending.
“They committed a grave crime because they injured me; His Majesty couldn’t bear to see me hurt; His Majesty has me in his heart, so naturally his subordinates dared not stop them.”
After a long while, Zhao Mingyan let out a long sigh.
He said coldly, "You clearly know everything."
Ji Qingwu is not afraid of his appearance at all now.
She rested her head against his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat, and poked his left chest with her finger.
"If you're comfortable with it, then go ahead."
She was speaking to his heart.
Zhao Mingyan grasped her fidgeting fingers, pulling them one by one into his palm.
"It will listen to you."
I can't bear to see her cry.
Should we listen to her?
Ji Qingwu forcibly suppressed the corners of her mouth that were about to turn up, but the smugness and joy in her eyes could not be concealed.
"And what about His Majesty?"
Zhao Mingyan's ears flushed slightly as he pinched her chin and shook it.
"Its tail is practically wagging in the air."
Ji Qingwu pressed further, "Then will you allow me to follow you like a tail?"
Zhao Mingyan's expression softened, and he said, "You can rest at home for a while and see if there's anything else you need to pack. Someone will come to pick you up at the back door at 9 PM."
He moved his fingers up and pinched her cheek.
"Use your disguise skills too."
We must do everything possible to keep her identity hidden.
“I will find someone to disguise themselves as you and stay in Wutong Garden so that no outsiders will notice, but you still need to inform the trusted people in your family.”
Ji Qingwu listened to his meticulous plan and stood up straight.
"Understood!"
Zhao Mingyan was completely unable to resist her appearance, so he bent down and kissed her on the lips.
Ji Qingwu suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "Yuan Heng and Qiu Qiu are in the palace..."
Zhao Mingyan said, "Don't worry, there won't be any accidents this time."
Knowing that they would be seeing each other again in two hours, Ji Qingwu did not try to keep the emperor any longer. He waved goodbye, and the two began to go about their own business.
Ji Qingwu searched around the house to see if there was anything else she needed to take. Suddenly, she slapped her thigh, ran out of the house, and came to the garden in the courtyard.
Because Emperor Wusu was injured, Ji Qingwu had almost completely looted the medicinal herbs inside, and now it looks like an abandoned garden.
But there is only one seedling left.
Despite its unassuming appearance and slender, paddle-like leaves, Ji Qingwu knew just how potent its medicinal effects were.
She thought to herself, "Maybe it will come in handy."
Ji Qingwu found a waterproof bag and put the slender and delicate seedling into it.
After doing all this, Ji Qingwu's luggage was finally packed.
It's not yet the hour of Xu (7-9 PM), there's plenty of time, I can go to Anju Garden to discuss it with Madam Qiao.
As soon as Ji Qingwu stepped out of the door, she saw Qiao Shi push open the courtyard gate. Her steps were hurried, leaving the two maids behind her.
"Little Five!"
Ji Qingwu was stunned. Could it be that her mother already knew she was going to the border to join the army? So quickly?
However, Qiao was usually calm and composed, but this time he walked in a hurry and his face showed obvious panic.
Ji Qingwu quickly walked down the steps to greet him.
"Mother, do you know...?"
"Xiao Wu".
Madam Qiao grabbed her arm and pulled her outside, saying, "Your eldest sister is in trouble. Now, come with me to the Marquis of Zhongyong's residence."
Something happened to Ji Qingrong? Qiao's description must mean something serious has happened. What could possibly happen to the eldest sister? Most likely, it's something wrong with the baby in her womb.
She wasn't wrong. Madam Qiao said, "Qingrong is about to give birth!"
Ji Qingwu paused slightly.
When Ji Bolian returned home last time, she took her older sister's pulse and found that the fetus was fine and would not be due for another month. Why did she suddenly go into premature labor?
She squeezed Qiao's hand back and comforted her, "Mother, don't worry, I'm here. Eldest sister will definitely be alright. I'm fast on my feet, I'll go over first."
Ji Qingwu said to the maid beside her, "Chunhua, accompany your mother and walk slowly, don't rush."
At this moment, Gibran, wearing an outer robe, also rushed over, heading towards the study.
He had just received the news and asked, "Ruying, what happened to Qingrong?"
Behind Madam Qiao, a maid knelt on the ground, weeping as she spoke...
