Chapter 357 Go Back
When Qingchi turned his head, the expression on his face had returned to the usual casualness.

"I wanted to go shopping in this street, but you also saw that there are not many people here except the guards passing by. Let's go back."

Lu Ji also relaxed his expression, and replied softly: "Yes."

Soon, the two returned to the prefect's mansion.

Qingchi quickly summoned the maids in the mansion who are good at needlework, and divided the work into furs of various colors.

Holding the teacup in his hand, Lu Ji looked at Qingchi's busy figure in the hall, his eyes could not help but smile.

"This reddish-brown one is for your Majesty to sew a cloak, this blue one is for His Royal Highness, and this white one..." Qingchi cast his gaze towards Lu Ji, "This white one is for Lord Lu. A fur coat."

Lu Ji shook his hand, and the tea cup in his hand almost fell to the ground.

Those maids took the task and retreated with those furs, only Lu Ji and Qingchi remained in the flower hall.

Qingchi sat down on the seat next to Lu Ji, "I saw that you wrote a book on how to govern the Northland earlier, can you submit it to your Majesty and the emperor's husband?"

Lu Ji put the teacup on the table next to him, and looked sideways at Qingchi, "It's submitted, but the selection of officials from the Northland is a big matter, and I'm afraid it's not something we can influence."

Qingchi noticed the "we" in his words, she looked at Lu Ji fixedly, "You want to stay."

Facing her gaze, Lu Ji suddenly plucked up his courage and took Qingchi's hand, "Qingchi, I know that the Taifu made an engagement for us back then, so I asked you to go to the Ministry of War to hold us back. At this moment, I want to know your true thoughts."

Frightened by the sudden scorching temperature in his eyes, Qingchi subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand, but Lu Ji suddenly increased his strength, not giving her the slightest chance to escape.

At first?At that time, he felt that Yan Mo didn't see him in his eyes, his father threatened him, and Lu Ji had no honor, so choosing him would not affect his continuing to be an official.

As for Lu Ji's feelings for her, she is now clear.

Seeing that she was silent, Lu Ji's tone was a bit heavy, "If you have someone who loves you, I won't stop you...I don't want you to hate me in the future..."

Yan Mo is not the ambitious Yi Chen, now that the two are getting closer and closer, Lu Ji disdains to use tricks, so he can only bear the pain to make it happen.

Qingchi is originally a smart person, but like Ning Yuezhao, she is not enlightened enough in terms of emotions.Now that Lu Ji spoke so clearly, she knew the joints after a little thought.

"Lu Yunchu, who do you think I am!" Qingchi was a little annoyed, "Yes, when I got engaged to you, I really didn't want to from the bottom of my heart, but I was the kind of person who didn't believe what I said. Villain? Since I personally agreed to the marriage, unless you change your mind, I will never go back on my word!"

Lu Ji didn't expect her to be so violent all of a sudden, so he hurriedly explained: "That's not what I meant, I..."

He suddenly felt a sense of frustration, as if everything he said was wrong.

Qingchi knew his concerns, so he felt that he should make it clear here once, "I know, you were jealous when I took care of Yan Mo when he was injured."

Hearing her calmly narrate the matter that made him feel stuck in his throat, Lu Ji's face blushed, and his hands loosened a bit.

Qingchi let him hold his hand, "I took care of him because he was seriously injured to save me at that time. We played together since we were young, and we never abandoned him at this time. Of course, I also Admit that I ignored your feelings."

"Qingchi..." Lu Ji didn't expect that she would explain so much to him, and was speechless for a while.

"Yunchu, I'm neither blind nor stupid." Qingchi sighed softly, and took his hand behind his back, "I want to stay in the northwest because I really want to share the worries of His Majesty, but His Majesty has her considerations. It would be great if we could stay together, but if not, I don't want a rift between us."

Lu Ji suddenly got up and hugged her in his arms, "I don't know what you think... I'm sorry, I was the one who got into a dead end earlier."

Pressing against his broad chest, Aoike let out a long breath.She has witnessed the ups and downs between Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian, and she knows that if some things are not explained clearly, it will be torture to each other.

It was precisely because she and Yan Mo had more opportunities to spend time alone during this period that she could see clearly her previous persistence. In fact, she fell in love with Yan Mo in her imagination, simply being protected by that kind of silently. move.

Now there is someone behind her who is devoted to protecting her, how can she live up to this pure heart?
Qingchi put her backhand around Lu Ji's waist, her move gave Lu Ji another encouragement, he let her go slightly, and stared down at her delicate eyebrows and eyes.

Qingchi lowered his head slightly shyly, but felt his forehead was slightly warm and wet, it turned out that it was Lu Ji's kiss on her forehead.

The dryness on Qingchi's face was even worse, and she stepped up her efforts to hug Lu Ji.

Seeing that she didn't refuse, Lu Ji's kiss went all the way down, first on her straight nose bridge, and finally on her lips...

-

In the room temporarily set up as a pharmacy in the prefect's mansion, Fu Liao was arranging medicinal materials.

The head lowering technique on Jiang Nian's body has been solved, but he has suffered a lot of major and minor injuries during this period of time, and his body has been injured to some extent.

When he picked out the herbs and turned around to see the person standing by the door, he was startled.

"Why are you standing at the door without saying a word?" Fu Liao walked to the table and put down the herbs.

Xue Jing didn't make a sound, walked to the table, helped him put the medicinal materials into the stone mortar, and began to pound them expertly with the stone pestle.

"The prince will return to Nanyu in a few days." She spoke quietly while making medicine.

Fu Liao frowned slightly, "You want to follow him back?"

Xue Jing lowered his head, "This is His Majesty's intention."

Fu Liao asked her, "Then what do you mean?"

Xue Jing clenched the stone pestle in his hand, and his voice was calm and unwavering, "Is it important what I mean?"

She was brought out from Tiansheng Palace by Le Wen, and she must be loyal to Le Wen, even if Le Wen wanted to sacrifice her at the beginning, she could only obediently obey his orders.

Fu Liao said: "If you have an idea, you should say it. Your Majesty is a reasonable person. If you want to stay, she will go and speak to Prince Nanyu."

Xue Jing asked him back, "In what capacity should I stay?"

Fu Liao was stunned for a moment, and then said after a while, "If you don't want to, then just pretend I didn't say anything."

Xue Jing's head was lowered, no one could see the disappointment in her eyes under the cover of her bangs.

For a while, there was only the sound of smashing medicine in the pharmacy.

Dang Xuejing processed the medicinal materials, wrapped them in paper one by one, and tied them with fine hemp rope.

She has done these things countless times, but this time she did it most seriously, because she knew that she might never have the chance to do such things for him again.

After putting away the medicine bag, at the moment when Xue Jing turned around, Fu Liao suddenly said, "There is no one in the imperial hospital who can cooperate with me like you. If you are willing, I will go and ask His Majesty to let you How about you come to Taitai Hospital to help me?"

He is used to doing things his own way, and the people in the imperial hospital saw that he was the son of the imperial physician order, and he was trusted by the empress. Although they didn't like him, they didn't get close to him either.

There are no medical girls who can cooperate with him. On the one hand, he has high requirements. The current level of those medical girls is far behind him, and they can't always satisfy him.

Although there is no denying medical treatment, it will be much more convenient to have a female helper in the palace.

Xue Jing stood there with his back stiff as if he had been immobilized.

Seeing that she didn't respond for a while, Fu Liao walked in front of her and found that the corners of her eyes were shining brightly, and she was actually crying.

"Don't cry..." Fu Liao has always been a single-minded person, and he rarely deals with women. Xue Jing has always shown himself as a strong image. Now that he cries, he doesn't know what to do.

It was fine if he didn't speak, but when he did, Xue Jing's tears were like broken beads.

Fu Liao wiped her tears with his sleeves in a panic, "Don't cry, it's fine if you don't want to..."

Xue Jing shook his head, threw himself into his arms, and wrapped his arms around his waist, "I'm not unwilling, I'm very willing."

Fu Liao, who had never felt warm, fragrant and warm, was suddenly at a loss.

Xue Jing just hugged him lightly, and then withdrew from his embrace. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "The prince once said that after overthrowing the saint, we, the former holy soldiers, will be freed."

After saying this, Xue Jing turned around and ran out.

His arms suddenly became empty, and Fu Liao felt a sense of loss, but thinking about what Xue Jing said just now, is she going to stay?

-

A few days later, it will be the New Year's Eve, and the empress and her husband are in charge of the Beiqi royal capital, and the Beiqi royal family is surrendered.

Since then, there has been no "Northern Qi" on the land of Huaxia, only Daxing's "Gyeongbuk Protectorate".

The civil servant Lu Ji, who was accompanied by the empress in the northwest, was hand-picked as the envoy of the Protectorate, in charge of all matters in the northwest; Yan Qingchi, the head of the Armed Forces Department of the Ministry of War, and the empress' companion, Yan Qingchi, were appointed as co-prefects, assisting the envoy in governing the North.When the division of all prefectures and counties in North Gyeongsang remains the same, local officials who are willing to surrender will still serve in their original posts. In the future, local county officials will still be elected from local people.

After arranging the affairs of Qingbei, Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian embarked on the journey back to the imperial capital.

Xiao Jingtian was still in the northwest to suppress the remnants of Beiqi's remnants. He handed over a note to Ning Yuezhao, saying that he would stay at the border for the rest of his life and would never return to the imperial capital.

On the carriage, Ning Yuezhao was holding the paper memorial, perhaps, this was the most suitable result for her and Xiao Jingtian.

Jiang Nian also knew that Xiao Jingtian had paid a lot for Ning Yuezhao, so he didn't say anything, but quietly hugged Ning Yuezhao into his arms.

Surrounded by the familiar clear breath, Ning Yuezhao put the folder in his hand on the small table on the carriage, turned around and put his arms around Jiang Nian's waist, leaning on his arms with all his heart.

At this point, they don't need too many words to understand each other's intentions.

This time when they return to the imperial capital, it is already foreseeable that there will be a bloodbath, but as long as there are people by their side, no matter how hard it is, so what?
