Chapter 69 Breaking into the Boudoir at Night, the Emperor Appears
Duan Mingfeng crossed his arms, with a soft sword wrapped around his waist, and retreated ten feet away from them.
With such a master as him, Ji Qingwu felt more at ease.
She said: "Your Highness, Jiujiu and Lanzhi have returned to Ji Mansion. It is too late now, so I will go back first."
King Yong frowned and wanted to stop her: "I Send you back.”
Ji Qingwu was already on guard, and when he stretched out his hand, he got out from under his arm, and was more nimble than a rabbit.
"No need, no need to trouble Your Highness. This place is not far from home. I can just go back by myself." He said while quickly retreating.
By the time he finished speaking, the person was already three feet away.
King Yong glared at Duan Mingfeng several times. If he hadn't been in the way, how could Ji Qingwu have escaped so easily.
On the way home, Ji Qingwu always felt that someone was peeping at her in the dark.
She could only speed up her pace and walk straight, and finally arrived at the brightly lit door of Ji Mansion. She looked back and saw no one.
Maybe she was afraid and overthinking.
The nurse in charge of the house said: "Miss Fifth, the eldest lady is still waiting for you."
Ji Qingwu first went to Qiao's room to report that she was safe.
The lights in Anjuyuan were always on, and Mrs. Qiao was waiting for her before she fell asleep.
Ji Qingwu came home so late, she thought she would be scolded.
When Mrs. Qiao saw her coming in, she sighed: "Xiao Wu, how can you, a mother-in-law, be so playful? No matter how beautiful the river lantern is, you can't see it in the middle of the night."
Ji Qingwu's face turned red because she came back in such a hurry, and Mrs. Qiao thought she was having fun.
She asked: "Looking at the river lanterns?"
Qiao asked the slave to put down the sleeping tent and said: "Master Duan of the Imperial City Department sent his subordinates to send Jiujiu and the others back first. , spread the word that you were fascinated by the river lanterns, and told your family not to worry, he would personally escort you home.”
Ji Qingwu nodded.
That’s it. It turned out that the person following her on the road was Duan Mingfeng.
Mr. Qiao was holding the soothing soup that she drank every day before going to bed, and asked curiously: "Xiao Wu, is this gentleman treating you?"
Duan Mingfeng is also from Lin'an. A rare young talent, he became a deputy envoy at a young age, but his personality is a bit gloomy.
After what happened with Li Chengxun, Mrs. Qiao was extremely cautious about Xiao Wu’s marriage.
Ji Qingwu took the empty bowl and explained helplessly: "This is really not true, mother, don't think about it too much. I will explain it to you in detail tomorrow morning. You go to bed first."
Back to Wutong Garden .
Jiujiu was already fast asleep on the bed. She patted Lanzhi softly and told her to go out and rest.
She sat on the round stool and looked at the little girl's sleeping face.
I didn’t feel tired before because I had something on my mind and had no time to care about anything else. But now I feel exhausted all over my body, especially my legs.
Ji Qingwu went to the clean room to take a bath. After she came out, her head started to hurt again. She went to the bed and lay down, tossing and turning, but couldn't fall asleep.
Distraught, she couldn't help but get up, put on her clothes, walked to the couch in the second room, and lit a faint candle.
She took out the koi jade pendant and looked at it carefully by the candlelight.
It is said that the quality of jade nourishes people, but in fact, people also nourish jade. At first glance, this piece of jade is well protected, with no scratches at all. The color of the jade is better than the one Jiujiu is wearing. Be more radiant.
What is hard to ignore is the broken five-color strand tied to it.
Ji Qingwu watched, and by some strange mistake, he took out the unused five-color silk thread from the kang table drawer.
She bent her neck, twisted her fingers lightly, and wrapped the thread around her fingertips. After a while, the thread was connected, but there was a knot at the break, and it could never be restored to its original state.
Ji Qingwu frowned and thought about it for a while, then his fingertips started to move flexibly again.
The candle made a "beep" sound and the flame jumped.
Ji Qingwu rubbed the sore back of his neck from bowing his head for a long time, looking at the masterpiece in his hand, a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the ground and suddenly felt a shadow.
Still a tall and long figure of a man.
Ji Qingwu's heart suddenly beat rapidly, and she looked up. Their eyes met, and the other person's eyes were full of indifferent light.
"Still up so late." The voice was also very cold.
She stared dumbfounded at the man leaning against the door of the room.
He broke into her house at night and asked her why she was still up so late.
Ji Qingwu observed his face carefully, quickly stuffed the jade pendant under his butt with his right hand, blinked his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, you are not asleep yet."
Wu Su Di Leng sneered, could he sleep?
Her little mouth is so tough that a dead person would be so angry that they would dig up their graves.
Ji Qingwu was worried, wondering if His Majesty the Emperor was so angry that he couldn't sleep and chased her home in the middle of the night, specifically to ask for her life.
Her neck was no longer sore, and she began to feel cold. She looked at him nervously, getting closer and closer.
Emperor Wu Su stretched out the wrinkles on his robe and asked in a calm tone: "What were you doing just now?"
Ji Qingwu didn't know when he came, her eyes were floating. Di replied: "My daughter wants to sleep, but she can't fall asleep, so she gets up and sits down."
Emperor Wu Su stood in front of her, blocking most of the candlelight, and the light cast on her face , are all his shadow.
He raised his hand to touch her waist, and Ji Qingwu hurriedly held his hand.
He said anxiously: "Your Majesty, it's not good to break into a woman's boudoir at night and behave like a disciple."
Emperor Wu Su looked down at her. With a smooth face, he said calmly and calmly: "Isn't it okay for me to come to your minister's home for a visit?"
It's so natural to say this.
Ji Qingwu pursed her lips and pushed him harder, but her little strength could not stop him.
Emperor Wu Su's hands continued downward, sliding from his slim waist to under his hips, and then reached down into the cushion she was pressing on.
Ji Qingwu moved slightly in panic.
Trying to completely cover the jade pendant, not wanting him to discover the care he put into the five-color strand.
Emperor Wu Su's eyebrows jumped, and his hands were full of soft bullets, but she still sat so solidly.
Ji Qingwu pulled on his arm guiltily, trying to get him to take his hand away, and persuaded him nicely: "Your Majesty, please sit down first, and I'll get you some tea, tea, water."< br>
Her lips trembled, and her words were difficult to speak.
My eyes suddenly lit up, with a light of embarrassment and anger.
He, he, he pinched her ass.
Emperor Wu Su caught a glimpse of her expression and said slowly: "I'm just here to retrieve my things."
Ji Qingwu's face was full of shock, and his hand was still wandering. It reached the base of her thigh.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty, are you sure there is something you want to take here?"
"Of course."
As soon as she finished speaking, Emperor Wu Su took out the jade pendant.
"Found it."
His long fingers picked up the five-color strand, and the koi pendant was dangling in front of Ji Qingwu's eyes.
She wanted to take it back, but Emperor Wu Su turned his wrist and she missed it.
She defended anxiously: "This is obviously..."
Emperor Wu Su stared at her bright eyes: "What about Mingming? Whose?"
< br>As soon as he was asked a question related to this, Ji Qingwu's eyes began to turn red visibly to the naked eye.
Emperor Wu Su sighed in his heart.
But he was sighing at himself.
