Chapter 59 Chapter 58
There are no men and women in the disease, and the flesh under the clothes is the same, but she just feels that if Xiao Qi is conscious, he must not want to show that scar to others, and she doesn't want him to feel sad about it after he wakes up.

The penetrating wound on the thigh was a bit scary, Jiang Hong broke the arrow at the other end first, and then pulled out the broken arrow.When Barr shot, he saw the whole process of Xiao Qi's arrow, and said to Wei Huai'en who was taking off his cloak and covering it with Xiao Qi:
"Baer's two arrows, one to kill Xiao Qi, and one aimed at you, if Xiao Qi hadn't jumped up to block it for you, I'm afraid you would be out of the gate of hell now.

But this kid is quite smart, he knew that using the long sword to block the arrow that was going to shoot into his heart was deflected, otherwise the gods would not be able to save him in time..."

Wei Huai'en lay down beside Xiao Qi, carefully sticking to his right side to keep him warm:
"Yeah, lucky to have him, he'll be all right, won't he?"

"……Um."

Jiang Hong looked at Wei Huai'en's actions with disapproval. In his eyes, this was no longer the care he should have for his loyal subordinates.

"I'm calling life a charcoal basin. You don't have to treat Deputy Envoy Xiao like this."

"Brother, can't you see?"

Wei Huai'en put Xiao Qi's right hand into his arms, as if he was explaining an ordinary thing.

"He is my man, not a subordinate, just my man."

"what?"

Jiang Hong raised his voice in disbelief:
"Do you know what you are talking about? Don't you know him, he is..." He is an eunuch!
"I know, but I don't care."

He was an eunuch, she had always known.

Perhaps in the past, she also underestimated his delusion towards her, but when Jiang Hong questioned her, she felt sad.Because everyone only sees his identity, not his kind heart.

"I think you are crazy! Yoyo, although he saved you, you can reward him and seal him, stop making trouble, and go out with me."

Jiang Hong was furious, if Xiao Qi wasn't still in a coma, he would have picked up Xiao Qi's collar and asked him what he had drunk.No matter what, he couldn't accept that Yoyo had a crush on the eunuch.

Wei Huai'en glanced at Jiang Hong indifferently.

"Brother, I'm no longer the kid who followed you when you were young. I'm Princess Jiarou, the princess who has the power to approve the red in the palm of my hand and who is in charge of six political affairs. Whoever I want, I don't need to ask anyone for approval, let alone fooling around."

The hand that was stretched out to pull Wei Huai'en stopped in the air, and Jiang Hong clenched his fists tightly in her eyes and thumped on the wall of the carriage.

"Okay, okay, if you don't listen to me, I can't control you, but have you ever thought that if your aunt and Wilder are still there, will you be allowed to do such a stupid thing?"

Wei Huai'en sighed, sat up and patted the back of Jiang Hong's hand.

"I know you are doing it for my own good, but brother, I only have you as my brother left, I hope you can understand me, listen to me, okay?
Didn't you also praise Xiao Qi's bravery in the past, did you praise him for daring to enter Dingyuan Hou's mansion alone to avenge me?
You can see the scars on his shoulders. In the past few years, he has been around the northern border, stabilizing the frontier army for me, cultivating power for me, and returned to me after a narrow escape.

I have never been good enough to him, because I only have power in my heart, only how to control more people's hearts, how to pave the way for myself, so he can only work hard all the time, helping me do many shameful things, but never asking me for others of……"

"But……"

Jiang Hong's frown relaxed a lot, he obviously listened to her words, and after he got angry, he remembered Xiao Qi's contribution.

Thinking of the days when Yan Weiguang was besieged and the past few days, he really couldn't treat Xiao Qi as an eunuch who couldn't be compared with Wei Huai'en, but he still couldn't accept Wei Huai'en's choice.

"I'll just say the most important point."

Wei Huai'en withdrew his hand and tucked the cloak under Xiao Qi's body.

"He will block arrows for me without hesitation. With him, he can sacrifice his life to me. Is there anyone else who can do it?
Maybe, but brother, you need to know that I am not a woman who can be a good match.

I'm selfish, snobbish, and will take revenge, and I can't bear the slightest grievance. What's more, I have spent my whole life trying to aspire to the throne. How can a person like me be distracted by others, or let others share my power?

I want everything, but I don't want love to drag me down, but Xiao Qi has done so much for me, how can I be willing not to love him? "

Wei Huaien looked at Xiao Qi's tightly closed eyes, and his eyes were once again blurred by tears.

Jiang Hong's eyes wandered from the two of them, and he wanted to say something, but finally he pursed his lips tightly, got out of the carriage silently, and stopped disturbing them.

He knew that he couldn't persuade Wei Huai'en, and he couldn't even say "no" to Wei Huai'en, who had already made up his mind.Let her go, after all, she is no longer a little baby to worry about.

"General, the wounded have been counted. They are all minor injuries, and there is no danger of life..."

Shi Fang came over to report to Jiang Hong, then glanced at the carriage, as if he wanted to see Wei Huai'en.

"Talk to me if you have anything, Your Highness is tired."

Jiang Hong grabbed Shi Fang's shoulders and pulled him away.

The doctor was brought over by Wei Huai'en's guards shortly after the convoy set off. After checking Xiao Qi's injuries, he checked the wounded soldiers one by one. Some of the ointments he brought had just been used up.

The Nanlin army didn't dare to really provoke Jiang Hong, so except for Xiao Qi who was wounded by arrows and swords, the rest of them didn't even need rest.

It was already evening when returning to the city, Wei Huai'en followed the convoy to the mansion of the mansion, directly brought Xiao Qi back to the bedroom arranged for Princess Jiarou, and gave Xiao Qi the medicine himself.

Although Shui Jing's disguise could fool unsuspecting officials, the Mingzhou government order who received the letter from Nanlin Army recognized at a glance that she was not herself.So after the banquet, he and Shui Jing decided to meet the real His Highness Jiarou.

"Master, the government order is waiting for you outside. He said that he has something important to discuss with you in detail, so he must see you."

Shui Jing was startled when she saw Xiao Qi lying unconscious on the bed:
"What's the matter, Deputy Envoy Xiao?"

Wei Huaien wiped the corner of his mouth where the medicine was overflowing, and blew another spoonful of medicine into his mouth:
"He'll be fine."

Worry and fear tormented her, and she was too afraid of those so-called "what ifs", so she repeated these words almost numbly, as if this would make him better immediately.

"Let me feed the medicine, master."

Shui Jing didn't care too much about Xiao Qi's life and death. Although she regretted it, the haggard Wei Huai'en made her feel even more uncomfortable.

"How did you make yourself look like this, change your clothes quickly, can you eat?"

"No, I'll do it myself."

Wei Huaien refused Shui Jing's help, and sat stubbornly on the side of the bed, not wanting to give his artificial hand to others.

"But the government order is still waiting outside..."

Shui Jing wants to persuade again.

"Then let him wait!"

It's okay if you don't mention it, but Wei Huai'en's anger and resentment will be detonated if you mention it.

"What is he, he dares to threaten me! You also go out, and no one is allowed to enter this room except me!"

"master……"

Shui Jing took a few steps back in fright, and left in a hurry after Lian Lianying.

Getting angry at Shui Jing is really a mess, but Wei Huai'en can't take care of that much anymore, just seeing Xiao Qi barely able to swallow half a spoonful, she just wants to put everything aside and hug him and cry.

But no, no.After feeding the medicine, she still needs to tidy up her appearance and go to see the magistrate of Mingzhou.

She had already guessed that the official was the eyes of Emperor Yonghe, and she must give Emperor Yonghe an explanation for what she did today.

"I'll come when I go."

She touched Xiao Qi's forehead that had already started to heat up, lowered her head and kissed the tip of his nose lightly, then tidied herself up and went out the door.

Wang Zhiqiu, the magistrate of Mingzhou, just passed this year and was standing quietly in the courtyard waiting for Wei Huai'en to come out.The movement in the room could be heard through the door panel, but after Shui Jing left, he still looked normal, as if he didn't hear Wei Huai'en's run.

"Master Wang."

Wei Huaien sat directly on the steps regardless of his image.

"But you're here because of the Nanlin Army?" Although she didn't close her eyes all day and night, her eyes were still cold and threatening.

"Your Highness, please move forward."

Wang Zhiqiu bowed and saluted respectfully, showing no emotion.

"It's right here."

Wei Huaien rejected his proposal.

"Before he wakes up, I won't leave this courtyard."

Hearing her words, Wang Zhiqiu's expression finally loosened, and he frowned and looked at Wei Huai'en disapprovingly:
"Does Your Highness want to ruin his future on an eunuch? Do you know that His Majesty has deliberately handed over the Tiger Talisman of the Northwest Army to you? Don't you know what this means?"

"I don't know, but so what?"

Wei Huai'en smiled indifferently, seeing Wang Zhiqiu's face getting worse and worse.

"I can make it clear to Mr. Wang, Xiao Qi is guaranteed, and no one can take his life away."

"It seems that the Holy Majesty has misjudged His Highness, and the woman is still embarrassing!"

Wang Zhiqiu walked away in a huff.

"It's embarrassing to be unwilling to be manipulated by others. Mr. Wang is too serious about himself."

Wei Huai'en was not angry at his reaction, and spoke unhurriedly, which forced Wang Zhiqiu to stop, but he was still unwilling to turn around.

"The Tiger Talisman of the Southern Forest Army should be in Lord Wang's hands, my father ordered you to set up a trap for Xiao Qi, and then serve it to my subordinates.

In this way, it is a certainty that this palace will become the crown prince, and it must be attached to the father, and it will never be rebellious.The imperial brother in this palace is not as good as me in every way, and King Rong is also difficult to achieve. The emperor probably wants to bring Xing'er with him to raise him.

In this way, even if I take over the country, in order to level the world's material opinions, and you people add to the flames, I have to make Xing'er the crown prince. Is what I said right? "

Only then did Wang Zhiqiu turn his head in astonishment. Literati are always conceited and proud. Even if they know that Wei Huai'en is the best candidate for the crown prince, they still have the intention of underestimating him.

However, he hardly revealed anything, and Wei Huai'en had already seen the whole situation, so he had to worship her Ming Rui.

"Since your Highness understands this truth, why do you want to protect Deputy Envoy Xiao's life? Do you want to give up this easy-to-get position for him?"

"I don't need to rely on anyone for what I want, not to mention that neither you nor other people who are loyal to the emperor will be willing to be driven by me.

To be disrespectful, if the emperor goes, you will only train Xing'er to be obedient to you, and even force me to abdicate early and hand over the power to you.

Mr. Wang, don't rush to refute, you dare to say that you don't have such thoughts, but others don't? "

Wei Huai'en stood up from the steps and walked to Wang Zhiqiu.

"My palace wants to protect Xiaoqi. It is both a public interest and a selfish desire. Xuanyu Division has been hated by you since its establishment, but do you know how many fly camp dogs would have to go to the sky until they pierced the sky?" ?
Li Kong has been in Mingzhou for two or three years, you should know how many disasters can be strangled to death when Xuanyu is there.Why did Bengong follow your wishes and trade Xiao Qi for his future? "

Under her persecution, Wang Zhiqiu took half a step back with guilt, but he still insisted on arguing:

"The eunuch is in power, and the court is not strong. If your highness is the prince, how can you be in the same class as this kind of person?"

"Are you going to go with you?"

Wei Huaien looked at him mockingly.

"Don't pretend to be high-minded, Mr. Wang, you are still doing things right and wrong, and you are a state magistrate who treats the safety of the people as a joke.

You even used this as an excuse to subsidize the Nanlin army with the military pay for suppressing the bandits. Did your father teach you to do this? "

She had a clear idea of ​​the situation in Mingzhou long ago, and after meeting the Nanlin Army, she completely saw through Wang Zhiqiu's good plan of using the people to support the army.

Wang Zhiqiu finally lowered his head and said embarrassingly:
"Your Highness's eyesight, it's the lower officials who are guilty."

"You won't be convicted. Mingzhou has been governed by you very well these years. Without the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes in the past, the people of Mingzhou have never praised you for being honest and upright. It seems that your merits outweigh your demerits."

Now that the conversation is over, Wei Huai'en doesn't want to talk to him any more.

"What we said today, you can report it to your father. By the way, tell your father that Wei Huai'en will never be restrained by others."

"Your Highness, stay!"

Wang Zhiqiu caught up a few steps and stopped in front of her:

"You...you should think about it again. Although the officials are willing to drive you, the country is the most important thing. If you don't give in, I'm afraid..."

"No need."

Wei Huaien shook his head and passed him up the steps.

"I will only walk the path I choose, and will not give in half a cent because of the world's prejudice against women."

Finally, she stood in front of the door and turned her head to meet Wang Zhiqiu's unspeakable gaze, and said calmly:
"Please go back, Lord Wang."

Then shut the door tightly.

Wang Zhiqiu sighed for a long time, felt as if he had been slapped several times on the face, and left the courtyard in thought.

inside the house.

"God, why is it so hot?"

Wei Huaien tried the temperature on Xiao Qi's forehead, it was almost hot.The doctor told me that it is normal to have a fever overnight, but the temperature must be lowered in time, and he will come to check the pulse during the day.

Before Xiao Qi could change his clothes, Wei Huai'en simply moved the couch to the side of the bed and carried him to the couch, then dragged the couch into the bathroom.

"Fortunately, Ben Gong has never neglected riding and shooting for so many years, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to lift you up."

Wei Huai'en was so tired that he was out of breath, thinking that he was also unconscious, so he took off his outer shirt and petticoat, and rolled up the sleeves and trousers of his jacket to facilitate the water.

The clothes on Xiao Qi's body were already torn, and Wei Huai'en tore them a few times, leaving him with only a pair of mid-pants that were half-shortened.

The warm wet cloth wiped his skin over and over again, which not only helped him cool down, but also helped him clean up the dust and blood on his body.

Xu Shi's body discomfort disappeared, and Xiao Qi's brows that had been slightly frowned all the time completely unfolded. If it wasn't for this injury, he seemed to be sleeping peacefully.

Wei Huaien loosened his hair and rebraided it on his head so that his sweat would not make it tangled.After doing all this, she changed into a clean cloth towel and unbuttoned his pants.

"No wonder you never want me to see..."

She finally saw the scar that he had been trying to cover up, and it was entrenched under a pillar like an ugly centipede, so ferocious that she could feel the pain of gouging out flesh just by looking at it.

This is the whole picture of his body, and he no longer has any secrets in her eyes.

She stretched out her hand to touch his scar tentatively, Xiao Qi didn't respond, but she still wiped every skin for him as gently as possible, just afraid that the scar that had accumulated over the years would still make him feel a little bit of pain.

"How painful this must be."

When Wei Huai'en defended the city, she saw the tragic scene on the battlefield, with broken limbs scattered in front of the city gate. She knew what a man should look like, so she also knew what kind of pain Xiao Qi had suffered.

But this scar didn't feel ugly at all in her eyes, she just felt distressed, she felt distressed that he took this scar to study riding desperately, and felt distressed that he stood pale at the gate of the palace and watched her leave that year.

He should have let her know, how could she despise him because of this?
"You are always afraid that I will hate you when I see you, aren't you?"

While helping Xiao Qi to wrap herself in a soft cotton robe, she asked him softly.

But he couldn't answer, so Wei Huai'en said to himself:
"Sorry, I treated you too badly before, and I will never do it again."

Two tears fell on his face, and Wei Huai'en hurriedly wiped them off, but he couldn't control his strength for a while, which caused two red marks on his face.

She couldn't help crying anymore:

"...Why am I so stupid, Xiao Qi."

She sent Xiao Qi back to the clean bed, and tried his temperature again, and it did drop a lot, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

After taking a bath by herself, she lay on the couch next to the bed, put her head next to Xiao Qi's face, and felt his temperature before she dared to close her eyes.

"Wake up quickly, please..."

The next day the doctor came to check the pulse, changed the prescription and told Wei Huai'en:
"The situation is fine, this gentleman is in good health, and he will probably wake up tomorrow."

Listening to the doctor's voice outside the door, Shui Jing was greatly relieved.

After the doctor left, he bravely came in, looked at Wei Huai'en's face, and called out cautiously, "Master?"

"You came."

Wei Huai'en still couldn't hide his tiredness, he woke up several times last night, afraid that he would sleep to death and not know that Xiao Qi had a fever again.

"It was my fault for losing my temper with you last night, I'm sorry Sister Shui Jing."

She smiled apologetically at Shui Jing and held out her hand.

"Where is the master..."

Shui Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief, and walked over to hug Wei Huai'en.

"General Jiang and Shifang have already told me about yesterday's situation, and you are also in a hurry."

"It's not just because of that."

Wei Huai'en was afraid of her back, and told Shui Jing about Emperor Yonghe's plan.

"You mean, there are today's chess pieces among our people?"

Shui Jing was so startled that he raised his volume, covered his mouth and ran to the door to see if there was no one else, then closed all the doors tightly and came back.

 Wake up quickly, Xiao Qi.

  Wei Huaien said she loves you.
