Chapter 152 Commitment
After sending Princess Yu'an away impatiently, Wen Jiu returned to the bed and stared blankly at the still messy bed. He reached out to touch the place where Qiao Shinian had lain, and it was cold.
She has left.
Wen Jiu took off his shoes and socks and lay down. He didn't quite understand why he was reluctant to let Qiao Shinian leave this time.
He just felt that he should keep her, the deadlock had been broken and they were safe.
Qiao Shinian no longer needs to go out and cater to the wise king.
She should lie there and let him take care of her. He knew all her habits, understood her words, and understood all her actions.
He just felt a little sad now. Qiao Shinian should have stayed and hugged him at this time. His chest also hurt. He only woke up two days earlier than Qiao Shinian.
Thinking about it, he opened his clothes, looked at the bloody gauze on his chest and said in a low voice: "Sister, why don't you check whether my injury is serious?"
·
"Miss, please lie down quickly." As soon as Qiao Shinian entered the palace gate, Yingzhu and Hehuan came out immediately and supported her to walk to the yard.
Mu Qingchen looked at Princess You'an who was a little scared of him. He nodded and said, "Thank you for helping me send her back."
"I will do my best to follow the orders of my uncle." After saying that, Princess You'an turned her head to look at Xuesong behind her. Xuesong immediately took out the folded prescription and said, "Uncle, this is Miss Qiao's prescription and the things that need to be paid attention to."
"Yes." Mu Qingchen took it and then said, "I'll send someone to take you back."
"Thank you, uncle. Si Yao came here by carriage, so you don't have to worry about it." Princess You'an lowered her head, and then said, "The Queen Mother asked you not to provoke the uncle, saying that if the uncle is angry, you will suffer."
"Okay, I got it. Be careful on your way back. If you feel wronged, you can come and talk to me." Mu Qingchen responded indifferently.
Princess Youan's eyes sparkled, and she nodded: "Then Si Yao will go back to serve the Queen Mother."
After Princess Youan left, the door of Prince Xian's mansion was closed again.
Returning to the room where he had lived for more than half a month, Qiao Shinian took off his clothes with difficulty. He saw a layer of gauze wrapped around his left arm, bruises on his body, and blood seeping out of the gauze on his right thigh.
Dianxiang came in carrying a basin of boiled medicine. Hehuan and Yingzhu, one of them supported Qiao Shinian while the other carefully removed the gauze for her.
When Qiao Shinian saw the wound, she couldn't help but close her eyes. The flesh on her leg had not fallen off, but the tear was very serious. In addition to the fact that most of the flesh had been torn off, there were also many potholes around it that had already scabbed over.
I don't know how the imperial physician treated her. The area around the most serious wound was purple, while the area along the torn line was beige, with a tendency to fester and rot.
"Tsk!" Qiao Shinian really couldn't bear to watch any longer. She just hoped that the time to go home would come soon. She wanted to go to the hospital.
I went to the hospital as soon as I got home, first got a rabies vaccine, then a tetanus shot, and finally got an anti-inflammatory and analgesic injection.
After treating her wound, Yingzhu waved her hand and asked them to leave.
"Miss, are you still going to wear that skirt? Otherwise, just put on any other clothes first and I will make one for you according to the style." Yingzhu felt really embarrassed about the clothes Qiao Shinian was wearing underneath. She didn't expect that Qiao Shinian would be wearing such revealing clothes when he took off his outer clothes.
Qiao Shinian looked at the clothes on the ground, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
This should have been made by Haruyuki for her. Haruyuki knew what kind of clothes she liked to wear to sleep, and this three-quarter skirt was very convenient for her to change the medicine now.
"No need. I have a skirt among the clothes I brought. Can you help me get another one?" Qiao Shinian pointed to the small wardrobe he had added a few days ago.
After taking Yingzhu and looking through it, he blushed and said, "Girl, is this it?"
"Yes!" Qiao Shinian nodded, and she smiled and said, "I wear these skirts when my wounds need to be dressed. I don't wear anything else. This skirt is convenient for me to dress, and there are girls in the yard, so there is no need to be shy."
"Then the prince came to see you?"
"I'm just wearing a coat." Qiao Shinian shrugged. "It just so happens that I'm injured and need to rest. I won't be leaving the hospital recently."
"This dress of yours is very strange." Yingzhu blushed when she saw the padded nightgown.
She was a little surprised again. The workmanship, feel and lace she had never seen before made her realize that this was not something that ordinary people could have.
Seeing Yingzhu blushing, Qiao Shinian took the skirt from her hand and said, "This one is French princess style, which is quite conservative. I also have the youth suspender style that you think is more revealing!"
"Girl, you..."
"I'm from a respectable family." Qiao Shinian said in a good mood. She couldn't help but tease, "Since Yingzhu hasn't seen it, I'll change into a different style of skirt next time and show it to you, okay?"
Yingzhu blushed and wanted to say something to refute, but out of curiosity she nodded honestly: "Okay."
"Haha." Qiao Shinian couldn't help laughing. After changing his clothes, he patted her shoulder and said, "Mu Qingchen should be waiting for me to change the medicine, right?"
After saying that, she motioned Yingzhu to bring the coat over.
"Well, go and ask him to come over. I won't go out to meet him. I'll sit here and wait for him."
Yingzhu nodded. She even had the thought that Qiao Shinian would not dress like this to seduce the prince. She was not sure whether the prince could resist the temptation.
Then she shook her head. What was she thinking? She felt so sorry for spending so many days with Miss Qiao. She actually had these thoughts of competing for favor and power like the women in the back house!
When Mu Qingchen walked in, Qiao Shinian smiled and waved to him: "Come and sit down. Thank you for pleading for Wen Jiu and me that day."
"It was you who saved you. I...didn't help you." Mu Qingchen lowered his eyes.
"It's okay, as long as you have this intention." Qiao Shinian looked much more cheerful than before, as if she had returned to the time when Mu Qingchen first met her. At that time, Qiao Shinian was so relaxed and unrestrained in front of Wen Jiu.
Mu Qingchen sat on a stool nearby, looking at Qiao Shinian seriously and nervously: "I can help you and Wen Jiu, and even help him after he returns to China. The premise of all this is that you promise me that Wen Jiu will not take the initiative to send troops to Zhou Kingdom during my lifetime."
Qiao Shinian shrugged and said seriously, "National affairs are not something that someone like me who knows nothing can influence. I don't have that much ability."
"You and I both know that Wen Jiu will never be an easy target in the future, and I believe you can influence his decision. This is all I ask. The people of Zhou have suffered a lot. I don't care about the officials in the court. I care about the innocent people of Zhou."
Mu Qingchen said seriously, and after he finished speaking, anger appeared in his eyes: "Emperor Gao Wen did not keep his promise and took the initiative to provoke a war between the two countries again. The people are suffering terribly, and those affected areas have not even had time to catch their breath before they have to face the war."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Qiao Shinian and said, "I hope that the people of Zhou can live and work in peace and not be disturbed by disputes."
“I promise you that I will protect his safety in Zhou from now on. I will make him stronger and he will return to Chuwen safely when he leaves Zhou.
All this is based on the premise that Wen Jiu will do his best to avoid war between the two countries in the future. It is unknown when this war will end, and before it ends, his life will not be threatened at all. "
"Of course, I am a pacifist, so I naturally don't want to see people dying in front of me. So Wen Jiu should think so too. If, I mean if, Wen Jiu can get some say in the future, then he will naturally want to avoid a situation where lives are devastated." Qiao Shinian nodded.
Seeing that Qiao Shinian looked good, Mu Qingchen secretly took a long breath and asked, "I like you, are you willing to give me a chance to like you?
I will naturally ask Zhou to try not to go to war with Chuwen in the future. In this way, can we be considered allies? Can we be considered to be on the same front? If possible, I want the two countries to cooperate. If your goal is to conquer the world, how about the two countries compete for this goal together?
I believe that unifying the world and fulfilling your ideal cannot be accomplished overnight, and we are most likely just a stepping stone in the process.
So, are you willing to join me in becoming such an existence that paves the way for future generations?"
Qiao Shinian thought for a while, then smiled: "I think what you said makes sense. History is history because of its length and evolution. Well, congratulations, you now have the right to pursue me.
In the entire Zhou and Chuwen countries, and even in the whole world, you are the only one who has the power permitted by me.
Try your best to make me obsessed with you, Mu Qingchen!"
