Chapter 439 Is this already reckless? It hasn't even been reckless yet.
Wei Ting paused for a moment and then said, "I want to see the most renowned Physician Ji in Lin'an."
Ji Qingwu paused grinding ink for a moment.
What's wrong with these bandits? They were escorted to the northern military camp, and instead of asking to see the emperor first, they're clamoring to see her.
The aura surrounding Zhao Mingyan turned cold.
After Li Yuzong finished the task assigned by the emperor, he quietly entered and immediately understood why Emperor Wusu was displeased.
It wasn't because they didn't come to pay their respects to the emperor first, but because they were too unruly. Miss Ji wasn't someone they could just see whenever they wanted.
Li Yuzong said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, perhaps this old servant should go and give you some pointers first."
Ji Qingwu said, "Eunuch Li, there's no need to go to such trouble. What's so difficult about me going? I guess they're just worried about the baby in Madam's womb."
Zhao Mingyan lowered his eyes, his expression indifferent.
Ji Qingwu asked him softly, "Your Majesty?"
Zhao Mingyan glanced at Wei Ting, and Li Yuzong immediately said, "This old servant will accompany Miss Ji and General Zhenbei."
So that's the crux of the problem.

The three Hu brothers and their wives were brought into the military camp and led into a military tent, where Deputy General Feng Xiang personally guarded the entrance.
These past few days, Qi Peiyao has been hiding in secret passages and traveling on the road. Because she is in her late pregnancy, her whole body is severely swollen.
Qi Peiyao walked slowly, and Hu Lie awkwardly supported her from behind.
Hu Da and Hu San followed behind, carrying her large and small bags of luggage.
Qi Peiyao paused, and Hu Lie stepped on one of her shoes, knocking it off. She glared at him and said imperiously, "Carry me to bed to rest."
Hu Lie scratched the back of his head and lifted the person up with one hand.
Qi Peiyao screamed and fell headfirst to the ground: "Hu Lie! Do you think I've lived too long?!"
As soon as Hu Feng and Hu Chen entered the room, they saw this scene and quickly helped her up.
Hu Chen said helplessly, "Second brother, Yao Yao is about to give birth, you can't do such big movements anymore."
Qi Peiyao kicked Hu Lie away, put her feet on Hu Chen's legs, and let him massage her sore calves.
Hu Lie frowned as he looked at her belly and asked, "When exactly will Madam give birth?"
"What do you mean unloading? That's a child!" Hu Feng appeared behind Hu Lie and slapped him hard on the back of the head.
Hu Feng took a quilt with his left hand and thoughtfully placed it under Qi Peiyao's lower back.
“This military camp is not like our Black Wind Stronghold. The things are simple. Yao Yao, just make do with it.”
Qi Peiyao leaned back on the bed and sighed comfortably.
She took the matter in stride and, unlike before, didn't deliberately vent her anger; instead, she comforted them.
“I don’t care about these things. As long as the child is born safely and we are still alive, that’s enough.”
Looking at how sensible Qi Peiyao was, the three Hu brothers felt even more indebted to her.
Hu Feng sighed and said, "Yao'er is right. As long as we have life, we'll always have firewood."
At this moment, Deputy General Feng Xiang called out from outside the tent: "All the food, clothing and supplies for the army have been placed at the door. Come and get them yourself."
Hu Lie responded loudly, "Alright! Thanks, bro!"
Qi Peiyao said in surprise, "I thought the General of Zhenbei sent people to take us away to imprison us. I didn't expect that we could live in proper military tents. They are quite warm."
She touched the thick quilt under her waist and said, "Someone is even bringing us things. Tell me, what are they planning to do?"
Hu Lie squatted on the ground, rummaged through his luggage, and took out his most treasured meteor hammer, carefully wiping it with a cotton cloth.
"No matter what he wants to do, I heard from the man surnamed Li that the doctor from that private clinic for noble ladies in Lin'an is in the northern military camp, which is why my brother and I agreed to come here."
Hu Chen said, "If what Lord Li said is true, and it is indeed that divine physician who has come, and Yao Yao is about to give birth, this is something we couldn't be happier with, but I'm afraid..."
Hu Feng continued, "I'm afraid they're lying to us. The army is full of men, what would they need this gynecologist for?"
They were also unsure whether they could fully believe everything the court said.
The tent flap was lifted from the outside by Feng Xiang, and the person who entered had a clear and pleasant voice.
"What Lord Li said is not untrue."
Suddenly, their eyes lit up, as if a clear spring had appeared in the desert.
Ji Qingwu stood before them, smiling warmly, and asked, "Who among you wants to see me?"
Hu Feng looked her over and said, "You're that Doctor Ji from Lin'an?"
Ji Qingwu said, "It's me."
She walked into the house, followed by three other people.
One was General Wei Ting, whom they had met before; the other, judging from his attire and the way he bowed his head, was clearly an old servant.
There was also an unidentified young man, whose attire suggested he was a high-ranking military officer.
After entering the tent, his gaze first briefly swept over the three brothers, and finally landed on Hu Feng's face, making him feel heavy-hearted.
Hu Feng had seen vicious people before, but this was the first time he had ever seen someone so inconspicuous, yet with such a deep and brooding gaze that it almost made him breathless.
The second brother, Hu Lie, only had eyes for the woman who claimed to be a doctor. He shouted, "How old are you? How could you be a skilled doctor? You're obviously a fake. Don't try to fool us!"
As he spoke, he stood up from the ground. Hu Lie was already burly, and after standing up, he was the tallest person in the room. He was still holding a meteor hammer in his hand, and his expression was furious, as if he wanted to settle accounts with Ji Qingwu.
Li Yuzong shouted shrilly, "How dare you! How dare you! Do you know who you are?!"
Wei Ting stepped forward, intending to remove the meteor hammer from Hu Lie's hand, but found that he couldn't budge it an inch.
Another super-strong monster.
Wei Ting had a back injury and dared not rashly reopen it. He frowned, pretended to grab it with his left hand, and swiftly struck Hu Lie's elbow tendon with his right hand.
Hu Lie's right hand went numb instantly, and the meteor hammer slipped from his hand. He roared, "You cunning scoundrel, Wei Ting! You dared to take advantage of my unpreparedness!"
The sledgehammer smashed a large crater into the flat ground of the military tent, and Wei Ting's foot was almost hit squarely.
He said with a smile, "All's fair in war."
Hu Feng had no time to pay attention to the fight between Hu Lie and Wei Ting. He frowned and looked at the man standing at the back.
The cloud pattern on the right sleeve of that person was fluttering.
It was a surge of powerful internal energy; if he were to make a move, it would be no exaggeration to say that Hu Lie's arm would be destroyed.
Hu Chen realized things were going badly and tried to pull Hu Lie aside, but Hu Lie was stubborn and wanted to fight Wei Ting.
Hu Chen advised, "Second Brother, we're on someone else's turf. You can't act so recklessly."
Hu Lie pushed Hu Chen away with just two fingers.
"Is this reckless? I haven't even been reckless yet!"
Ji Qingwu didn't know why they suddenly started fighting, and they began exchanging blows inside the tent.
Seeing Qi Peiyao looking at her thoughtfully, Ji Qingwu smiled.
