, Chapter 70(1/2)
After that day, Ye Qing didn't see Xiao Jue for several days.
She was like a person who was fine, eating, drinking, and sleeping, but she was so worried about the three palace maids around her.
Zi Zhu has been following Ye Qing for a long time and has a stronger relationship. She finally couldn't hold back her words this day: "Empress, are you getting angry with Your Majesty?"
Ye Qing was stuffing sour plums into his mouth and said in a hurry: "What kind of temper can I make with Your Majesty?"
When she blocked the arrows for Xiao Jue, she was injured by a few pieces. Although it was not very serious, it was broken. Doctor Fang specially ordered to eat a light diet these days and apply medicine every day, otherwise scars might be left in the future.
After several days of clear porridge and light rice, Ye Qing was a rich taste, and she couldn't live this day. If it weren't for the sour plums, she wouldn't have known that she still had a sense of taste.
Zi Zhu squatted down and beat Ye Qing's legs, and said rumbled: "Your Majesty hasn't come to see the Empress these days. The Empress must have gotten into trouble with Your Majesty."
Ye Qing was unhappy and glared at Taohua: "How could you take the wrong one to your empress? You can't be the one who gets into trouble with this palace?"
Zi Zhu didn't expect that her empress would become less and less conscientious in her words, her mouth was wide open and she looked shocked.
The wind lifted a corner of the carriage curtain on the side where Ye Qing was sitting. Mo Zhu and Wen Zhu saw Xiao Jue sitting on the horse's back with a deep eyes staring at this side.
The two of them quickly lowered their heads and lowered their voices and coughed twice.
Ye Qing also felt a little chilling on her back. She turned her head and happened to have another strong wind blowing, lifting the curtains of the car windows completely.
Xiao Jue's iceberg face appeared in Ye Qing's sight without warning.
The two looked at each other, one looked like a ghost, and the other looked deep.
Ye Qing coughed twice, glanced at the vicious sun outside, and showed an awkward smile that could not be found out: "The weather today is too strong. Your Majesty can drink a cup of sour plum soup to reduce the heat."
She handed out the sour plum soup placed on the small table.
There was no ice in the convoy, and the people below were afraid that their masters would have heatstroke, so they cooked sour plum soup every day.
The soup the soldiers drank at noon was also sour plum soup, but the sour plum soup cooked from the big pot was naturally not exquisite.
Xiao Jue drove the horse closer to the carriage a few points. He didn't speak, but only stared at Ye Qing with a deep look.
Just when Ye Qing could not hold back his gaze, he finally stretched out his hand, but instead of taking the sour plum soup from Ye Qing's hand, he directly held her hand and asked her to send the cup to him.
He turned sideways and drank the sour plum soup clean with Ye Qing's hand.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, his lips touched Ye Qing's hand when he left.
Like...a kiss.
It seemed as if a tiny electric current passed through the place touched by his lips and spread to the whole body.
Ye Qing felt that the piece on her hand was numb. When she lost her mind, the cup fell off her palm and instantly broke into several pieces when she hit the ground.
This sound shocked Ye Qing. She retracted her claws like a frightened rabbit.
He refused to look at Xiao Jue anymore, so he took the carriage and moved inside, completely moving himself away from the area he could see from the car window.
None of the three palace maids dared to speak at this time. Ye Qing held his white claws and felt confused.
She had been pressed and kissed by Xiao Jue several times. She didn't react so much when she hadn't had her first kiss for three lifetimes. Why did Xiao Jue accidentally kiss her hand today, and her heart was almost jumping out of her chest?
"Knock--"
The carriage window was suddenly knocked a few times.
Ye Qing instantly stiffened his body and gave Zi Zhu a wink.
This was the first time when Zi Zhu saw Ye Qing's cute appearance, she smiled and opened the curtains of the car: "Your Majesty."
Xiao Jue looked at Ye Qing without seeing him, and his eyebrows were frowned without any trace: "Where is the queen?"
After being named, Ye Qing slowly poked out his head like an ostrich.
Xiao Jue's face was still cold, and he could not tell at all that anything extraordinary he had done just now.
Ye Qing was so angry that he was itchy with his teeth. He secretly wanted to wait until he got the chance in the future and he would have to bite him.
Looking at her look of being angry but not speaking, a narrow smile flashed through Xiao Jue's eyes, but his voice was still very cold: "Your brother learned that you were in danger and chased you from Huzhou."
After saying this, he drove to the front of the convoy.
After half a day of traveling, Ye Qing met Ye Jiannan when the convoy was repairing halfway through.
He rode a horse all the way to chase him in the scorching sun. Qingjun's face was covered with sweat and his neck was covered with sweat.
The clothes on my body were soaked in water. I took them off and twisted them, and the sweat was all over the floor.
"There is a lot of heat outside, why did the Empress get out of the car?" Ye Jiannan is not a person who is not particular, but every time he sees Ye Qing, he looks so embarrassed, and Ye Jiannan is still a little embarrassed.
He wiped his sweat a little, but instead put his face on his face even more colorful.
Seeing that Ye Qing looked good, his frowning brows were finally stretched out along the way, but the concern in his words was still very obvious: "I heard that you encountered the ambush of King An Yu Nie on the way. You were still injured. Are you seriously injured?"
After recovering his memory, he knew that this was his own brother who was connected to his bloodline. In his previous life, he was killed by Gu Linyuan in order to avenge himself. Now that he saw Ye Jiannan again, Ye Qing felt mixed feelings.
Ye Shangshu was in the convoy with him and learned that she was injured, Ye Shangshu, his father, had never seen her once. Instead, after hearing the news, Ye Jiannan rushed over from Huzhou.
Ye Qing's eyes were already red, but she was afraid that Ye Jiannan would be worried, so she smiled and said, "Brother, do you think I look seriously injured?"
Ye Jiannan was not afraid of the earth, but was afraid that Ye Qing would cry. When he saw her eyes turned red, he became anxious: "Why did you cry? Who has suffered aggrieved?"
Ye Qing shook his head randomly, and could have held back tears, but when he heard Ye Jiannan's words, he couldn't control his tears.
This feeling of supporting you no matter what you are facing, no matter who you are behind you, makes her feel inexplicably stable.
She was originally like a rootless duckweed. She grew up in the palace since she was young, but the palace was not her home. There was a family behind her, but she was even more unfamiliar with her family, and the ones that were tied to her family were also interests rather than family affection.
But Ye Jiannan's existence made her feel that she really has roots here.
"Brother." Ye Qing cried out with tears in his eyes.
"Brother is here." Ye Jiannan replied.
"Brother." Ye Qing called out again.
"What's wrong?" Ye Jiannan's brow was almost frowned into an iron lump.
"It's nothing, I just want to scream a few more. Brother, brother..." Ye Qing smiled brightly, and tears at the corners of his eyes fell freely.
In that life, she never called him a few times, and in this life she made up for everything she didn't have time to call in the previous life.
All the words that were not said seemed to be included in those words.
Ye Jiannan seemed to feel something, and he grinned: "Silly girl, are you afraid that you won't be able to call me brother in the future?"
Ye Qing shook his head.
Ye Jiannan reached out and patted her on the shoulder, deliberately making her laugh: "Why did you develop such a crying temperament? You are so weak-hearted and beware of being bullied in the palace."
Ye Qing wiped his tears and said, "I won't cry in front of others."
Ye Jiannan smiled and said, "Don't cry in front of others, you can cry in front of your elder brother, but your elder brother hopes that Ah Qing will smile every day."
Ye Qing nodded randomly: "Our province."
After saying so long, Ye Qing remembered what happened in Huzhou and asked, "Is General Guo and his wife okay?"
Ye Jiannan pulled his sweaty collar and sat down in a shade: "It's great, General Guo is just a waste of time. He now goes to the Huzhou Barracks to train troops every day."
Ye Qing knew that General Guo was disgusted. Even though she had said so much before, in General Guo's heart, even if Xiao Jue only gave him a false title, he had to do his part for the king.
"Will your elder brother go back to Beijing or to Huzhou next?" she asked.
Ye Jiannan killed an ant that climbed up along his trouser legs: "Go back to the capital."
He regretted the moment he heard that Ye Qing was injured. He shouldn't have chosen to stay in Huzhou before, and he should have sent Ye Qing back to the capital no matter what. He couldn't guarantee anything else, but as long as Ye Jiannan still had a life, it would be impossible for his sister to have any accident.
Ye Qing thought about the meaning of his words and said, "Brother has been out for so long, and his mother and grandmother must be worried at home. Go back and report your safety and make them feel at ease."
Ye Jiannan nodded.
He didn't say anything else. He learned Wuyi from General Guo and wanted to go to the battlefield. But General Guo told him that his true abilities were practiced on the battlefield.
After Xiao Jue returns to the court, he will inevitably send an army to Yanmen Pass.
Ye Jiannan has made up his mind to go to war with this army. However, the Ye family will definitely not agree, and he still has to work hard.
That night the convoy rested at an inn. If nothing unexpected happened, he would arrive in the capital tomorrow afternoon.
Gu Yanshan was too many of his 50,000 troops. He was afraid that he would disturb the people in the town, so he set up camp in the nearby suburbs.
After Ye Qing took a shower in the evening, he lazily lay on the big bed that Mo Zhu and the others had laid down, and yawned Zi Zhu to take ointment and apply medicine to himself.
There was a wound on her back and her skin was broken. If she wanted to avoid scars, she had to apply ointment every day.
The sun is scorching during the day, and it is cooler at night.
Ye Qing specially asked Mo Zhu to open the window for ventilation.
After taking a shower, the feeling of sweat and sticky sweat was gone. The cool night wind blew in. She squinted her eyes so comfortably that she felt a little drowsy.
The hand that was originally massaged on her back stopped at some point.
Ye Qing closed his eyes and rubbed his head against the pillow, and said, "Zizhu, your hands are sore, so let Mo Zhu help me massage for a while. I've been on the carriage these days, and my bones are almost falling apart."
A piece of ointment was applied to her back, and it was cold and Ye Qing sighed comfortably.
Following a pair of big hands that felt a bit thick, she stroked her smooth back. Her fingertips were so uncomfortable, this was not Mo Zhu's hand!
