Chapter 445 Reliving Old Dreams, Who's Down There?
That handkerchief was something she had deliberately covered his eyes with because she was afraid of seeing the coldness and malice in his eyes.
When Ji Qingwu saw the old items, her dark eyelashes trembled.
Still clinging to a sliver of hope, she asked, "Hasn't this debt already been settled?"
Zhao Mingyan chuckled softly behind her ear and said, "When was that ever going to happen?"
Faced with the past incident of being forced into marriage, Ji Qingwu felt extremely guilty, and her words became somewhat slurred.
"It was, it was that time at Zhaoyang Palace."
Zhao Mingyan pondered for a moment and said, "That could only be considered interest at the time. This time, we are getting back the principal with interest."
What about interest and principal?
Ji Qingwu knew perfectly well that he couldn't possibly conjure these two things out of thin air.
He must have been prepared for this.
But what were his feelings when he kept those old items from several years ago?
The handkerchief and ribbon were not worn or dirty, so they must have been carefully stored away. She had never seen them before, so they must have been kept in the military tent.
Ji Qingwu never dreamed that he would see these two "tools of the crime" again.
She looked at her wrist, which was covered in a thick, dark red rope. The way the rope was tied was exactly the same as before, the multiple reverse knot that she used to use.
Ji Qingwu stared intently at the handkerchief in his left hand, her heart pounding with each movement as he rubbed it.
If nothing unexpected happens, he intends to reenact the scene.
The reverse knot was tied neatly and securely; she couldn't break free of it by brute force.
He took in Ji Qingwu's tearful expression.
"Is Awu scared?" Zhao Mingyan looked at the rope knot wrapped around her hand and a relaxed smile appeared on his lips.
"Ah Wu just now confidently told me that I was not afraid of anything and that as long as I was by his side, everything would be fine. Are you trying to go back on your word?"
Ji Qingwu could neither take back his boastful words nor wanted to relive the "old dream" with him.
Her eyes sparkled as she said, "I meant I'm not afraid of getting hurt."
Zhao Mingyan chuckled softly, his tone extremely gentle.
"How could I bear to see you get hurt? I wouldn't."
But the more he acted this way, the more Ji Qingwu felt that things were going to spiral out of control.
Zhao Mingyan's eyes were dark, yet they also burned with an eerie glint.
Earlier, he returned to the main tent first, listened to Sihai's report with a cold face, and then found the two items.
Before Ji Qingwu returned, Zhao Mingyan originally planned to use this incident to his advantage and give him a "minor punishment".
But what he didn't expect was that Ji Qingwu's words were a heartfelt confession, igniting a raging fire in his heart.
There was no need for him to rely on anything else; Zhao Mingyan had only one thought at this moment...
Even through his clothes, Ji Qingwu could feel that his body temperature was burning hot.
She blinked, her face filled with grievance: "So, after I just poured out all my heart, His Majesty's response was to tie me up?"
Zhao Mingyan raised an eyebrow and replied, "Of course not."
He deftly slipped his hand inside her clothes, the heat of his palm making her tremble.
Ji Qingwu pressed down on his arm, but couldn't budge him at all. She said ingratiatingly, "But I want to hear Your Majesty speak. It's never too late to clear up this matter, anyway, I'm not going to run away."
"I believe what A-Wu said, he definitely won't run away this time."
Zhao Mingyan's voice sounded fierce, and the word "again" carried a sense of clenched teeth. Her hands also rubbed her harder.
Ji Qingwu didn't even have time to wail in his heart.
A handkerchief was placed over her eyes, plunging her into darkness. Ji Qingwu could not see his movements, but she could clearly feel the path he was taking, the force of which was so great that it seemed as if he wanted to leave a mark on her.
Ji Qingwu said, "Let's talk first, shall we?"
"not good."
Zhao Mingyan resolutely refused, gripping her chin with one hand and saying in a low voice, "No matter how much you say, it's not as good as doing."
His long fingers rubbed against her lower back, a gesture full of suggestive meaning.
When she was picked up and thrown onto the bed in the military tent, Ji Qingwu instinctively felt that even the childbirth system couldn't save her back.
She kept her eyes open, but couldn't see anything, and waited for a long time without him making any move.
Ji Qingwu felt nervous, but the next moment, she felt the knots in her hands being untied.
"It's red even though it wasn't tied tightly."
She heard him sigh softly, as if filled with boundless tenderness.
Ji Qingwu nodded, her delicate lips parting slightly as she said aggrievedly, "If you're tied up for too long, your blood won't circulate properly, and you'll get blood stasis."
She strained her ears to listen to his voice.
He didn't say anything, but took her wrist and gently rubbed the red marks a few times.
“When Ah Wu tied me up, he didn’t hold back at all.”
Ji Qingwu's lips parted slightly, and she paused, momentarily stunned.
Even though she had used the Yin-Yang Harmony Powder on him, she was still worried that he would suddenly come to his senses and strangle her in a fit of rage. So she tied him up tightly, trembling with fear.
Ji Qingwu thought of something: who came to untie him the next day?
No wonder he harbors such deep resentment about this matter.
Before she could think further, Ji Qingwu's wrists were suddenly raised and pulled above her head, the rope gliding across her palms and then wrapping back around her wrists.
She exclaimed in panic, "Didn't you say you'd let me go?"
Zhao Mingyan said, "When did I say that being tied to the bed was the scene that night?"
So, she was temporarily untied so that she could be tied up in a more natural position.
Ji Qingwu said, "But insisting on restoring it to its original state is not right either."
Zhao Mingyan admired the scene before him and asked nonchalantly, "What's wrong with it?"
Ji Qingwu said hurriedly, "Then you should be on the bottom, you're the one who's tied up!"
"Oh? Is that so?"
Ji Qingwu said, "Doesn't Your Majesty think that old dreams are more meaningful and evocative when revisited exactly as they were?"
A strange light flashed in Zhao Mingyan's eyes, as if she had been struck by her suggestion.
The rope around her wrist wasn't knotted yet, and Ji Qingwu felt there was still a chance.
So she said earnestly, "Your Majesty, this is a rare opportunity. Even if Your Majesty agrees to my request in the future, I will not agree again."
Ji Qingwu raised her leg and gently rubbed against him, as if wanting him to feel how irresistibly alluring she was when she took the initiative.
Watching the curve of her waist as she twisted, Zhao Mingyan's breathing became even heavier.
Not long after.
Ji Qingwu finally regained her sight. She blinked, adjusting to the light in front of her.
Then, she excitedly pushed him down onto the bed, and Zhao Mingyan lazily cooperated with her actions.
Holding a rope in her hand, her eyes glistening with tears, she bound his hands to the iron railing beside the bed, one loop after another.
This time, Ji Qingwu switched to a double overhand knot, tying it neatly and securely.
Zhao Mingyan looked at the smile on her lips, nudged her with his knee, and his Adam's apple bobbed.
"Shouldn't we get to the main topic quickly?"
