Chapter 68 Marrying at will, burning with anger
She no longer wants to be a puppet under the control of the childbirth system.
That night in the military tent was a humiliation for him, and it was a kind of torture for her. Otherwise, she would not have woken up from her sleep so many nights.
The task of giving birth to a subsystem, no matter how it is beautified, cannot escape the fact that it is just a tool.
It is still a fertility tool with few options.
But she is a living, feeling person.
According to Ji Qingwu's original plan, she wanted to slowly develop a relationship with her target, and when the passion was reached, everything would fall into place naturally.
She wanted to minimize the utilitarian component of this task and did not want it to completely become a transaction.
But there was a big mistake in the mission. She got the wrong person.
In order to survive, she abandoned propriety, justice and shame, abandoned Wei Ting, and abandoned her infant son.
Because no one desires a free and fresh life more than she does. This was her biggest dream when she lay weakly in the hospital bed all day long in her previous life.
The task of giving birth has been completed, she whispered in her heart, now she can live for herself.
Ji Qingwu's eyes were dry, and there were no tears in his eyes like every time before.
Instead, his eyes were red, as if he was about to cry blood.
The man in front of her gave her enough time to think, and she finally spoke.
My voice is hoarse.
Although her voice was difficult, she spoke every word clearly.
"My daughter would like to ask, can the oral decree count?"
The oral decree means that she is allowed to marry outside the palace as she pleases.
Emperor Wu Su’s expression turned completely cold.
"That's all you want to say."
Even if Ji Qingwu didn't look at him, she could still feel a bone-chilling chill coming over her. Her whole body was as stiff as if she was in an ice cellar.
The strong pressure almost made her knees weak and she was about to fall to the ground.
She could only hold on to the wall behind her with both hands to prevent herself from falling.
The time spent waiting for trial is always difficult. Ji Qingwu was scared to death, but he did not want to bow his head and submit.
The sullen look in his eyes gradually became darker and darker, as if a thunderstorm was brewing that was about to explode.
Ji Qingwu has clearly stated her attitude - no matter what, she cannot stay by his side.
Emperor Wu Su raised his hand and held her chin forcefully, forcing her to raise her head until her sight was completely occupied by his tense face.
His knuckles turned white from exerting too much force, and the rise and fall of his chest seemed to be looking for an outlet for his deep anger.
Ji Qingwu's heartbeat was pounding, his ears were ringing, and his breathing became rapid and shallow.
Her consciousness began to blur, and she felt that her field of vision was completely black, and she could no longer see the person in front of her clearly.
He seemed to say something in her ear, and then suddenly pulled off the jade pendant from his waist.
The jade pendant hit her body, stuck to her waist, and slid to the ground with a crisp sound.
I don’t know how long it took.
Ji Qingwu regained her clarity. She squatted down, hugged her knees, and gasped.
There was no one in the room, and she didn't know when Emperor Wu Su left.
Her eyes regained focus and fell on the koi pendant on the ground. The five-color strand had been broken into two sections, and the colorful silk thread was cracked.
It’s not just this thread that’s broken.
Ji Qingwu carefully put it away, put it in his arms, and hid it in his chest.
A gust of night breeze came in from the attic window. It wasn't cold, but it still made her tremble.
She turned her head and looked over. The bright moon was hanging high outside the window, and it was almost midnight.
Suffered.
Ji Qingwu ran out of the teahouse quickly. When the waiter downstairs saw her, he said, "Sir, that man just now."
She threw a silver ingot and it flew away. Seemed to be running away.
The boy held the silver in his hands and watched dumbly as the blue back quickly disappeared into the night, but he hadn't finished speaking yet.
Lanzhi and Jiujiu were still by the river.
When Ji Qingwu arrived at the place where they separated earlier, they were nowhere to be seen.
I asked people on the road and they all said they had never seen the woman in yellow holding a child. Ji Qingwu anxiously walked half a circle along the river, his feet and calves hurting.
She ran for at least ten miles today, but still couldn't find him. She held on to a willow tree, bent down and panted lightly, planning to take a rest first.
In the shadows of the shore, a low-key and luxurious carriage was parked.
The man rested with his eyes closed, his expression cold.
"Sir, that girl is still by the river and has not returned. The waiter probably did not convey the message."
Duan Mingfeng saw the emperor and "him" being intimate in the teahouse , and when I thought about it carefully, I realized that the handsome boy was actually a woman.
On the other side, Ji Qingwu was by the river. She was not sure whether to go home first or look here again. She looked towards the other side of the river.
Someone walked up to her and blocked her way.
What came into view was the man's black robe and gold-trimmed boots. Ji Qingwu raised his head with a look of surprise.
King Yong smiled and said: "Fifth cousin."
"Your Highness, King Yong."
King Yong looked at her outfit, with a strange light floating in his eyes.
"I saw you shopping in the lantern market in the Jade Cui Tower before, but I didn't dare to recognize you. It turns out it's really you."
He has also been around here, Ji Qingwu quickly asked: "His Royal Highness King Yong, have you seen my daughter?"
Her eyes were red, she looked pitiful, and she was wearing a man's robe, with a tough look in her softness, and an indescribable charm. , King Yong suddenly became thoughtful.
"I didn't see that." King Yong smiled and approached her and said, "Fifth cousin, are you separated? Don't worry, I will send someone to help you find her right now."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Ji Qingwu took a step back with discomfort and distanced the two of them.
King Yong said something to the boy who was following him, and turned back to stare at her waist.
"How about the fifth cousin follow me to the Jade Cui Building and wait. If they have any news, they will come to the building and let them know."
Looking at his romantic eyes, Ji Qingwu knew that Yong Wang was thinking about her.
It’s just that she wants something from him.
Seeing her hesitation, King Yong stretched out his arm to hug her: "It's cold at night, let's wait upstairs and let's go together."
Suddenly I heard a disturbing male voice.
"In this humble position, please see the prince."
Wang Yong looked over with displeasure at being disturbed.
The visitor is Duan Mingfeng from the Imperial City Division.
"Duan Shisi."
It’s just that the Imperial City Secretary had little interaction with King Yong, but he came up to talk to him at this time. He raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter with you?"
Duan Mingfeng cupped his hands and said, "I heard that the prince is sending people to search for the maids of the Ji family. Ji Qingwu was relieved to learn that Lanzhi and Jiujiu had returned home safely.
She stepped forward and gave a salute and sincerely thanked: "Thank you, Mr. Duan."
King Yong said: "I know this news. I and my fifth cousin still have something to say. , Does Duan Shisi have anything else to do?”
What he said was ambiguous. If the other party is a thoughtful person, he should walk away quickly and don't get into trouble with King Yong at this time.
Duan Mingfeng stood there like a stake and refused to leave.
"I have something to do. The scenery here is very good. I would like to enjoy the flowers and trees here even though I am humble."
Ji Qingwu might still believe what others say.
She absolutely didn't believe Duan Mingfeng's world-weary face.
This Master Duan was serious in speech, with a stern look on his lips and eyebrows. He looked at the willow tree as if he wanted to cut the trunk, branches and leaves into pieces with a thousand knives.
He knows the whereabouts of Jiujiu and Lanzhi.
She was looking for someone by the river, and he appeared in time.
Who does Duan Mingfeng want?
Ji Qingwu felt that the koi pendant hidden on his chest seemed to be generating heat.
Ahem, a small quarrel is pleasant, a big quarrel...
After the big quarrel, it will be a special do
