Chapter 54 A great favor!
"What? You have nothing to say to me?" Xie Jingmo suddenly spoke.
Yun Zhao was quite surprised.
She tilted her head and glanced at Xie Jingmo.
There was no makeup on her fair little face, and her big eyes blinked gently, with a hint of innocent brightness.
Xie Jingmo's heart moved.
He reached out to hook Yun Zhao's head.
Yun Zhao stood still for a long time before he suppressed his heartbeat and slowly took a step back.
Xie Jingmo's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air.
His eyes were mysterious, and as he watched Yun Zhao's expression gradually fade away.
"What are you hiding from?" Xie Jingmo asked in a low, hoarse voice.
Yun Zhao lowered her head, not daring to meet Xie Jingmo's gaze. She said softly, "I'm not hiding anything."
That moment.
Yun Zhao could clearly hear her own uncontrolled heartbeat. She panicked and was about to take another step back.
Xie Jingmo had already taken a step ahead of her.
Stride forward.
He stood close to Yun Zhao's body, his eyes drooping.
Yun Zhao's eyes widened in surprise.
Xie Jingmo lowered his head, looked at Yun Zhao's nervous expression, and curled his lips slightly.
He shifted his gaze into the distance, then sighed and retracted his gaze.
"Yun Zhao."
A low, hoarse voice slowly rang out amidst the cold wind of the chaotic frontier.
Mixed with the strong sound of the wind around him, Yun Zhao heard Xie Jingmo's slight smile.
He said in a low voice, "Do you know?"
Yun Zhao blinked, tilted his head back, and his plain lips shone silvery.
"Your heartbeat," Xie Jingmo raised his hand and placed his palm on Yun Zhao's chest, "is very loud."
Yun Zhao blushed suddenly.
She didn't understand what Xie Jingmo was doing!
Xie Jingmo still smiled.
Facing the wind, he sighed deeply again, "Forget it."
Yun Zhao didn't react at that time.
Xie Jingmo repeated it again. This time, he stared carefully into Yun Zhao's eyes and said softly, "I say, forget it."
Yun Zhao's heartbeat went out of control again, and she understood that there was something else behind Xie Jingmo's words.
He wanted to say—
"But I--" Yun Zhao said hurriedly.
His mouth was covered by a large hand the next second. Xie Jingmo lowered his head, his forehead against Yun Zhao's. "What I mean by finalizing it is that I won't pursue it. Do you understand?"
Yun Zhao was so startled by the approaching handsome face and the breath falling on his face that he couldn't respond immediately.
She just stared at Xie Jingmo in a daze.
For a moment, I didn't know what to say.
Xie Jingmo then said, "Yun Zhao, swear that you will never contact anyone in the capital again. I promise you that you and your family will be safe. You just need to follow me well."
Yun Zhao was stunned.
Xie Jingmo...compromised?
"Yes, I compromised. I don't care about the past, nor do I care that you were sent by someone in the capital. I want you," Xie Jingmo pinched the back of Yun Zhao's neck and said with a smile: "I lost, okay?"
At that moment, Yun Zhao's eyes slowly turned red.
Regardless of whether she had another identity or not, Xie Jingmo gave up pursuing it.
He actually admitted defeat to himself.
Yun Zhao's heart was filled with excitement.
Just as she was about to speak, she heard someone shout loudly in the distance, "Yun Zhao, receive the order!"
These words fell.
Just like dropping a stone into a calm lake, Yun Zhao clearly felt that Xie Jingmo's body suddenly paused.
"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, decrees that the Xie Family Army has been plagued by illnesses recently. The Empress Dowager and I are deeply concerned in the capital. Military Doctor Yun Zhao is diligent and dedicated, and is being promoted to the position of Medical Envoy for the Frontier Fortress. He will be responsible for supervising all military doctors at the border. After treating all patients in the Xie Family Army, he will proceed to Lincheng."
Yun Zhao accepted the priesthood with trepidation.
The soldier who read out the holy order said to Yun Zhao with a smile: "Congratulations to the military doctor."
Yun Zhao took over the priesthood and turned to look at Xie Jingmo.
The warmth on his face had completely disappeared, leaving only a bottomless coldness.
Chen Tingting laughed exaggeratedly beside him and said, "Doctor Yun, congratulations on your promotion. I heard that this official was specially appointed by the emperor and is in charge of all the military doctors on the border. How impressive!"
Chen Tingting leaned against Xie Jingmo as she spoke, "Jingmo, I've told you before, Doctor Yun has connections up there. Look, just as I sent the health pills up, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor issued an order. This is a tremendous favor! Ordinary people can't enjoy it."
Xie Jingmo's eyes were cold, "Yes, it's a great favor!"
Xie Jingmo pronounced the words very deeply!
Yun Zhao tightened the imperial edict in her hand. Chen Tingting was there, so she couldn't say anything.
I can only enter Xie Jingmo's tent when there are not many people around.
At that time, Xie Jingmo was reading a book.
His handsome and cold face looked inhuman in the candlelight.
"Xie Jingmo, please listen to my explanation. I don't know why the capital suddenly gave me this priesthood. It has nothing to do with me. Please believe me."
Xie Jingmo was reading a book with no expression on his face.
Yun Zhao was a little anxious.
She knew that it was not easy for Xie Jingmo to give in today, and she didn't want to let him down. She also hoped that he would try again for her!
Last time!
"What do you need to do to make me trust you? Jing Mo, I have never betrayed you."
Xie Jingmo turned a page of the book and asked, "Is that so?" His tone was cold and his expression was indifferent.
"Yes!" Yun Zhao: "I can swear!"
These words have just fallen.
Xie Jingmo's hand stopped turning the pages of the book.
In the tent where the candlelight flickered, Xie Jingmo raised his head coldly, with a faint, sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth.
"What did you say?" Xie Jingmo laughed, "Can you swear?"
Yun Zhao was about to nod.
Then Xie Jingmo said, "Yun Zhao, do you think that making a casual oath is a particularly burden-free thing for you?"
Yun Zhao paused in confusion.
"Did you eat the wild vegetables with the steamed bread with Yunmeng?"
"When Chen Tingting asked you to swear, were you feeling the same as you are now, thinking that the oath was like a passing cloud, meaningless?"
"Yun Zhao, do you think you are very smart?"
"Do you think it's particularly ridiculous that I told you to let it go today?!"
"Nothing is important to you, right?"
Yun Zhao was stunned.
She was anxious to explain, but she was not a talkative person.
When facing Xie Jingmo, she always couldn't win the argument with him.
In the past, she would have surrendered obediently, but she could not admit to the crime before her.
She had a premonition that if she couldn't explain this matter clearly, she might really lose him forever.
Yun Zhao was so anxious that he was gasping for breath.
With tears in her eyes, she said anxiously: "I swore to Chen Tingting before because I didn't take her seriously. Now I'm fine with you because I never -"
"Jingmo!" Chen Tingting suddenly rushed in from outside and rushed into Xie Jingmo's arms. She was wearing a very thin layer of green gauze and tried her best to get close to Xie Jingmo. "I had a nightmare. I'm so scared!"
