Jing Li vomited so hard that his vision went dark for a while. When he came to his senses, he found that he was already in Qin Zhao's arms.
He took the water from Qin Zhao's hand, drank a few sips, and finally suppressed the nausea in his stomach.
They were right in front of the Imperial City gate, where there were many people. Xiao Yue was frightened by his vomiting and hurried to call for help. The man had a loud voice, and his shouting made the palace guards think something had happened to the Protector of the Nation and they quickly gathered around to help.
Jing Li didn't want to make such a big fuss and tried to get up, but Qin Zhao still held him in his arms. The latter took out a silk handkerchief to wipe his lips, then took his hand and quietly checked his pulse for a while.
"I'm fine..." Jing Li felt a little embarrassed as he felt many eyes on him. He whispered to Qin Zhao, "Maybe I ate too much this afternoon."
The young emperor had invited him to the palace to discuss wedding matters, so of course he wouldn't leave anything unprepared. Jing Li's favorite fruits and snacks were all available, and the two of them chatted and ate, their mouths guzzling non-stop all afternoon.
Most likely I just ate too much.
Jing Li thought angrily.
Qin Zhao glanced at him, released his wrist, and without saying a word, picked him up.
"General Xiao, please take care of this. My husband is not feeling well, so I will take him back first." After saying this, Qin Zhao walked away with Jing Li in his arms without looking back.
Ah Qi drove the carriage and stopped not far away. Qin Zhao directly carried Jing Li back to the carriage.
The carriage began to move forward slowly. Jing Li blinked and said, "I'm not feeling unwell. I feel much better after vomiting."
"Yeah." Qin Zhao poured him a glass of warm water and said calmly, "Your pulse is normal."
"Then...then why are you still angry?"
Jing Li observed Qin Zhao's expression and said seriously, "I promise, next time I won't eat so much, no matter how delicious it is. Don't be angry..."
Qin Zhao: "..."
He was silent for a moment and sighed: "I'm not angry."
No way.
Jing Li thought silently in his heart. Qin Zhao has always been a man who keeps his emotions to himself, but he doesn't look like he's alright. He's not a fool, is he?
As if he could see Jing Li's suspicion, Qin Zhao said helplessly: "Do you think I will be angry because you eat too much?"
"..." Jing Li said, "Probably not."
He thought about it and understood: "You are angry with Ah Xuan. Don't be so harsh on him. He is an emperor after all. What he is doing now... Although it is a bit exaggerated, he has good intentions. In fact, it is because you are too strict with him. He is so afraid of you and afraid that he will do something wrong and upset you."
Jing Li kept talking, and Qin Zhao laughed: "You're talking so much, aren't you feeling sick now?"
"Hmm... there seems to be a little bit." Jing Li quickly drank some water.
"I'm really not angry." Qin Zhao said, "I'm just thinking about something."
Jing Li: "What's the matter?"
Qin Zhao was silent for a moment, and did not rush to answer: "Go home first, you will know when you get back."
The mansion they were staying in was not far from the imperial city, and soon the carriage stopped outside the mansion. Qin Zhao still didn't let Jing Li get off the ground, but carried him out of the carriage and walked towards the mansion.
The servants guarding outside the house were so frightened that they thought something serious had happened to the lady.
Qin Zhao didn't explain much, and without looking away, he carried Jing Li directly into the backyard and ordered that no one was allowed to approach.
Hot water was prepared in the bathtub early in the morning. Qin Zhao put Jing Li on the couch next to the bathtub and raised his hand to untie his belt.
"What are you doing?" Jing Li dodged to the side, protecting his clothes, and frowned, "It's not even dark yet."
"..." Qin Zhao pinched his face, "What are you thinking about? I want you to take a shower first."
