Previous Chapter: ReconciliationNext chapter: Poisoning
The news of the triumphant surrender of
Northern Hungary and the request for peace soon spread back to the capital.
After confirming that the opponent was not pretending to surrender, the soldiers discussed it and agreed that although the Northern Hungarians had given in now, they still had to take precautions.
Prince Zhao was too old to travel around, and the original fiefdom was Lingbei, so he voluntarily stayed at the border.
Before returning to Beijing, Qiu Che received another letter from Li Qingwu.
Due to constant fighting this year, their residences were unstable, and they basically lived in inns along the road.
Wu Yiqi rode his horse and waited at the door of the inn early in the morning.
Because I had long been accustomed to their cumbersome correspondence, I winked and went aside to wait.
Qiu Che also vaguely heard him and Yu Yan, who had just finished eating and came out to lead the horse, started to choke again -
"Go away, blocking my Baixue from going out to eat."
"What Baixue... you mean the prefect of Lingbei?" The black sweaty horse I gave you?"
"It's none of your business."
"You're as bad at naming as ever."
"Master Wu, come here." " Why
?"
Qiu Che laughed when he heard it, walked to the side, lowered his head and opened the letter.
Li Qingwu congratulated them on their triumphant return from the battle in the letter, and finally reassured them that they would not be in a hurry to go back slowly.
Everything in Beijing was fine now. Qiu Che suspected that she only reported good news and not bad news - after all, there had been frequent wars in the border area this year, and every letter Li Qingwu sent contained similar words.
Afraid that they would be concerned about the situation in the capital, the intrigues in the court were not mentioned a word. Qiu Che took a deep breath, put away the letter, and went over to take out his horse - this was the horse that Li Qingwu had written to Yu Yan to buy and give to Qiu Che on his birthday this year.
This horse had accompanied her on several battlefields and was one of the best horses in a thousand that had fought hard. Qiu Che fed it better than he fed himself. When asked what to call it, Qiu Che thought about it all day and night, and finally decided to call it...little flower.
She smoothed Xiao Hua's hair, then got on her horse, raised her voice, and greeted the two people who were still bickering over there: "Let's go."
Logically speaking, all the Detachment of Women should have stayed at the border together, but they are women after all, so what? The reward is not clear yet.
So Qiu Che only selected ten people with outstanding martial arts skills and followed them back through the small road, while the rest of the Detachment of Women went back and forth through the official road.
ââThis also has the advantage of ensuring that no one knows their itinerary. After all, on the way back to Beijing, if they encounter someone who wants to get rid of them and assassinate them on the way, there will be too many people and it will be difficult to hide. .
The seven-day trip was reduced to five days because of the rush. Late at night on the fifth day, they arrived at the inn on the outskirts of the capital.
When the postmaster saw them, his eyes were quite surprised. He probably didn't expect that the generals who were supposed to return to the capital in two days would have arrived in the capital now.
He quickly adjusted and warmly invited them to stay for one night. Because it was already very late, and there was still a curfew in the city, Yu Yan and the others who had been following her crazily were a little tired.
Wu Yiqi shook his fan, nodded and said,
"Then let's go back to the city tomorrow and rest for the night first."
Qiu Yiqi shook his fan and nodded. Che glanced at the dark capital gate, feeling a little uneasy for some reason.
She didn't speak for a moment, just lowered her head and rubbed the handle of the carving knife hidden under her sleeve.
When he was marching and fighting in the border areas, Qiu Che was often in a daze like this. He didn't like to talk to others very much. He was much more silent than when he stayed in the capital.
Wu Yiqi was used to her appearance. He thought she was just too tired and was relaxing, so he closed his fan and clapped his hands.
"Then it's decided - what are you thinking about, Lord Qiu? You have come to your senses."
Qiu Che said softly: "I sent her a message five days ago, but she never replied."
Wu Yiqi was stunned for a moment and then came to his senses. Who is "she": "Oh, isn't this normal? Maybe I knew you were going back to Beijing, so that's why you didn't go back? It only happened in one night..."
When he said this, he faced Qiu Che He looked up at the silent gaze, paused, and suddenly raised his temples. Before he could say "No, don't tell me you want to go back now", Qiu Che suddenly stood up.
She linked her arms, made a beautiful and natural cut with the carving knife in her hand, and put it back into her sleeve again. Then he turned around and left with a light voice:
"You guys should have a rest."
Wu Yiqi said hurriedly: "Where are you going?"
Qiu Che did not reply. She avoided the eyes of others and glanced at her horse as she passed by Wanxi.
I wanted to take the horse with me, but I was afraid of attracting too much attention, so I decided not to do so in the end. She walked around the dozing city gate guard and remembered that Wu Yiqi had just said that maybe Li Qingwu didn't reply to her just because he saw that she was coming back soon.
Only Qiu Che knew that during the year of separation, their letters never lasted for more than three days.
The pigeon raised by Yuming and used to send messages to them was so fat that it only recognized the scent of the three of them.
Qiu Che couldn't explain why, but he had an inexplicable hunch that something must have happened to Li Qingwu.
On the way back to the princess mansion, she thought about many possibilities.
Thinking of the news they had received from the capital a few days ago, it was said that Emperor Li Shi fell ill again and that the Crown Prince was in charge of the country and had repeatedly made decisions that conflicted with the Queen Mother.
On the contrary, Wu became the most transparent force among them. Could it be because of this? Qiu Che's mind went back and forth, but she never expected that she would see this scene
- people coming and going in front of the master bedroom door late at night. Fu Ling was sweating profusely, but she seemed to be very used to it. She calmly directed the maids coming and going. Her voice was not loud and did not disturb the people in other courtyards, but it was just enough for them to hear clearly:
"Move quickly, Shui I'm going to change things soon. The medicine is ready and I'll ask the kitchen guy to bring it to you. Also, please keep your voice down and don't disturb the old lady..."
Qiu Che looked blank for a moment, feeling that this scene looked familiar inexplicably.
"What...are you doing?"
Fuling was startled when she heard the familiar yet unfamiliar voice, and subconsciously turned her head to look over. Seeing Qiu Che, she was shocked and said,
"Husband-in-law, why are you back... No, why are you back now?"
Qiu Che did not answer the question. Instead, he took a step forward and asked, "What happened to Qingwu?"
Fu Ling nodded quickly and saw Qiu Che's face turned extremely ugly in an instant. She turned around and went in to see Li Qingwu. She immediately paused again, shook her head repeatedly, stretched out her hand to grab Qiu Che, looked embarrassed, and stammered with a red face: "No, Your Highness... Your Highness, she, yes, had a love affair."
The last sentence said, Have to be extra quiet. Qiu Che's body stiffened.
She suddenly remembered that less than a few days after leaving Beijing, she suddenly remembered that Li Qingwu's affair had not been completely resolved.
The date of her departure and return is uncertain. How will Li Qingwu handle it by himself?
So in the midst of my busy schedule, I wrote a letter asking.
Li Qingwu replied to her at that time: Everything is fine, there will be a road to the mountain, so don't worry.
From that day on, she began to learn medical skills from Dr. Chen.
Maybe it's even because she is a descendant of the rumored "Nanyi Saint" and has a very keen sense of Nanyi medicine.
After studying for half a year, not only did he make his own antidote to the common poisons in Nanyi, but when Qiu Che calculated that he was about to "pass the love barrier" again and was about to have another attack, he wrote to Qiu Che to tell him that he had made the antidote.
Qiu Che didn't quite believe it, but there was nothing wrong with the prescription she sent at the same time, and it could indeed remove the poison on the arrows of the Northern Hungarian cavalry, which relieved their urgent need.
But having a love relationship is different - it was something she had secretly asked Uncle Jiang, and even Uncle Jiang said there was no cure.
How did Li Qingwu do it?
After that, Qiu Che continued to make insinuations and wrote to several other insiders, namely Fu Ling and Yu Ming, but the answers he received were all in the affirmative.
If Fu Ling didn't tell her, Yu Ming would never lie to her.
Of course, there is also a possibility that Li Qingwu even deceived her.
But Qiu Che was at the border, and neither party could find the other party to detoxify. She could only reluctantly believe that Li Qingwu had indeed found a way to suppress his love.
After a year of this, Li Qingwu never mentioned a word about his relationship in his correspondence. Qiu Che was so busy that he forgot about the matter.
When she heard what Fuling said, her face suddenly changed for a moment, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Didn't you say that the poison has been cured?"
Fuling looked guilty: "... His Highness asked us to say so."
The poison of love, This is unprecedented, how can it be easily solved?
Qiu Che already understood without her further explanation.
The poison attacks once every three months, and if it is not relieved once, the pain will be more severe the next time it attacks - this is what Chen Huichun once told them.
Qiu Che really didn't dare to think that in the year she was away, the poison had occurred at least three times - how did Li Qingwu survive?
After going around and around, it turns out that no matter whether they are connected or not, they are still in the same situation as in the previous life.
It was her incompetence that made her beloved have to endure the torture of the poison alone in order not to worry her.
Qiu Che's facial muscles twitched, and he said expressionlessly: "... Everyone, please step back."
Fuling glanced at her in surprise: "Husband..."
She saw Qiu Che go in once when Li Qingwu was poisoned. I listened to the scene in the corner for half the night.
Later, I learned that Qiu Che was born as a girl. Looking back on this night, I was even more shocked.
Can women...can also detoxify?
Qiu Che didn't care what she was thinking. When the maids filed out, he strode forward and opened the door.
Indoors, Li Qingwu was lying on the bed, tightly covering himself with the quilt and closing his eyes. His face was flushed, and beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks, soaking through his clothes.
Hearing the footsteps, she spoke, her voice hoarse and hoarse: "Water... give me water."
There was silence outside for a moment, and then there was the sound of the door being closed.
Then, very light and fast footsteps came to the tea table, and the sound of water gurgled.
Soon, he came to the bed again.
The person who came reached out to help her up and said, "Drink water."
This voice... seemed a bit familiar.
Li Qingwu's hazy brain thought for a while, then he opened his eyes with difficulty. While reaching out to take the water glass, he said: "Don't touch me..."
Before he could finish his words, the moment his eyes touched Qiu Che's cheek, her flower stopped abruptly. .
The water glass in his hand almost rolled down, but Qiu Che quickly reached out and caught it firmly.
Li Qingwu opened his mouth and said blankly: "I...have my brain been burned out?"
Qiu Che: "..."
The corner of her mouth twitched, and then she saw Li Qingwu reaching out and holding her face.
Suddenly, the cold look on his face that was angry that Li Qingwu didn't tell him the truth could no longer be maintained.
Li Qingwu stared at her seriously and took a deep breath: "You are black."
Qiu Che: "..."
She couldn't help but grab Li Qingwu's hand and laughed: "I have been fighting for a year and training every day. It's strange that it's not dark due to the weather."
"But it's still beautiful."
Li Qingwu nodded,
"What's wrong?" "It
's not a dream,"
Qiu Che couldn't pretend anymore . His expression relaxed, with a hint of helplessness: "So what if it's a dream?"
Li Qingwu muttered something in a low voice, but Qiu Che didn't hear it clearly.
She leaned over and asked, "What?"
Li Qingwu didn't reply and motioned for her to listen.
Then he opened his mouth...
and bit Qiu Che's earlobe.
It's not a real bite, it's like a grinding of the ears and temples, very light.
Like flirting.
Qiu Che: "!"
After all, they had gone to bed several times, and they were both very familiar with each other's bodies. Just like Qiu Che knew that she liked having her breasts kissed, she also knew that Qiu Che's sensitive point was her ears.
However, Li Qingwu bit it and chuckled in her ear: "If it's a dream, there's no need to be too reserved."
Qiu Che took a deep breath.
She held Li Qingwu's neck as he was about to lean back, and their lips collided.
Then he whispered: "...I'll settle the score with you tomorrow."
First let me see how unreserved you are in the dream.
Babies, the text is almost finished. I am finishing it, but it wonât be finished so quickly (gestures). Iâm sure everything will be explained clearly. Donât be anxious~
