On
December 13th, Northern Hungary and Daxia declared war.
Qiu Che's release was expected by everyone, but Yaotai's departure was unexpected.
When Li Qingwu woke up again, Qiu Che was standing by the bed, whispering something to Yu Ming beside him.
Yuming was holding a book, listening and taking notes, and looking at her from time to time, with a slightly strange look in his eyes -
now that he had regained his identity as a woman and was no longer a prisoner, Qiu Che rarely wore a long light blue dress with shoulder straps. He is wearing a moon-white fox fur coat.
She still has her ponytail combed high, but her facial features don't have the makeup effect of a man's thick eyebrows and big eyes. Viewed from the side, he looks much prettier than before.
Obviously the eyebrows are still the same, but the feeling I gave people when I was wearing men's clothing cannot be said to be exactly the same, it can only be said to be far different.
It's really hard not to notice.
Although Yang Qiu was watching in Dali Temple and no one would lynching Qiu Che, the environment in the prison was not very good after all.
Qiu Che's face looked a little tired, because he had just come out and there were still a lot of things to do, so he managed to regain some energy.
Li Qingwu stared at her blankly for a while. It wasn't until Qiu Che paused and turned around that he saw her staring at him: "...are you awake?"
Li Qingwu didn't say anything. She pursed her lower lip subconsciously, and then Close your eyes.
Qiu Che was stunned for a moment. The body that he had turned around when he spoke just now turned back and reached out to touch her forehead: "What's wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable? Hasn't the fever gone? Why..."
Li Qingwu opened his eyes again and was about to Meet her worried eyes.
He was funny and helpless for a moment, but when he spoke, his voice was hoarse: "It's nothing, I'm afraid I'm dreaming."
Qiu Che paused.
Then he sighed: "It's okay, you scared me."
Yuming was quite discerning and said at the right time: "My subordinates, please leave."
Qiu Che turned his head slightly and nodded: "There's no need to go back to Wu Yiqi's place, I'll do it myself Go ahead and say it."
Yuming agreed, opened the door and left.
Li Qingwu looked at Qiu Che for a while, and then sat up with her help: "Is there any new news?"
Qiu Che said "hmm" and tucked her in, but he didn't mean to say anything. Don't worry about it now, just take a rest. Poria has complained to me that you won't sleep well during this period. Mr. Chen said that your body and bones are weak..."
Li Qingwu listened to her talk in a calm tone. After a moment, Qiu Che raised his head, and his voice stopped abruptly when he saw her cheek.
Qiu Che was a little panicked: "...Why are you crying?"
Li Qingwu twitched the corner of his mouth.
She stretched out her hand and said with a slightly tired expression: "Hug."
Qiu Che paused subtly and said: "Okay."
She sat on the edge of the bed, opened her hands, and took the person into her arms.
Li Qingwu lay on her shoulder, listening to the crackling of the charcoal in the stove, with the warm fox fur on his cheeks, and the long-lost, familiar smell of Qiu Che on his nose.
ââA sweet, cold, dew-like smell, also like the fragrance of flowers.
Neither party spoke. After maintaining the hug for a while, Li Qingwu said: "The Yaotai is gone."
Qiu Che didn't know what to say, so he could only respond to express that he heard it: "...Well, I know."
Everyone was already After the coffin was placed and the funeral was being prepared, she saw it with her own eyes.
But she never thought that Yaotai, who was still alive and kicking until her death in her previous life, would die so early in this life because she blocked Li Qingwu's knife.
In fact, in this human world, it is normal for fate to come together and separate, life and death to be separated.
Those who are lucky enough to meet each other and travel along the way are the few among the few.
ââIt is normal in this world to have a chance encounter and then never see each other again.
They were lucky enough to meet each other, to have a heart-to-heart relationship, and to be friends in life and death.
But now unfortunately, heaven and man are separated forever.
What's even more unfortunate is that most of Yaotai's illnesses are caused by them.
Now that she has passed away due to this, it is really difficult for Li Qingwu to let go easily.
Li Qingwu buried his head in her arms, and the tears he shed wet the fox fur on her body.
She even cried silently.
Qiu Che just hugged her quietly and patted her back gently, like coaxing a child, with a silent but indulgent attitude.
Li Qingwu seemed to want to cry out all the grievances and sufferings he had suffered in the past ten years, as well as the sadness of his friend's death. By the end of the cry, his voice was hoarse, his whole body was trembling, and he could not shed a single tear in his eyes.
In the past ten days or nearly a month, Qiu Che has not been with her, and she has done everything by herself.
On the surface, she did everything very well. She was methodical and well-organized. She suppressed all her worries and fatigue. She imitated what Qiu Che had done in the past and created a very calm and strategizing look.
But if the string is stretched too tight, it will rebound.
Qiu Che taught her all her strategies step by step, but for the first time she practiced them, Qiu Che was not by her side.
However, everyone regards her as the backbone, and she cannot say that she is not good at this time.
Fortunately, she actually did it and did it well.
Only Yaotai was ignored.
Qiu Che hugged her tighter: "It's not your fault... Uncle Jiang arrived yesterday after you passed out. He had seen Yaotai... According to what Mr. Chen said, he was unable to return. God, he was afraid that we would be sad, so he wanted to come over and have a look in person, but it was still a step too late."
Li Qingwu clutched the lapel of her clothes, and the trembling all over gradually eased a little because of her words.
Qiu Che lowered his head and glanced at her. He saw that the ends of her eyes were red and she was still panting. The tear mole in the corner of her eyes looked particularly pitiful.
Unable to hold back, he kissed the end of her eyes: "...Are you just sad about this? You're not angry with me?"
Of course she was referring to the matter with Li Shu.
Li Qingwu's eyelashes trembled, he looked up at her and slowly shook his head.
She lowered her eyes and whispered, "As long as you're fine."
How could she not be angry?
When she saw Qiu Che's plan, it turned out that she was excluded, and when she found out that Qiu Che had exposed his identity so impulsively -
she was so angry that she even thought about waiting for Qiu Che to come back. This matter was left open to her for a while, allowing her to understand that she was not a burden, but also one of her allies.
But she was really scared.
Human life is so fragile, it will be gone if you donât give it up.
Just come back.
Just stay alive.
She doesn't care about anything else.
Qiu Che really couldn't see her like this and sighed deeply in his heart.
The two hadn't seen each other in nearly a month, and it was fine when they didn't see each other. But now that they saw each other, they were even more worried.
A farewell should be better than a wedding, but this is not a good time to be intimate - Yaotai just passed away, Li Qingwu just fell into a coma and had a fever, the matter in the palace has not been resolved, and all the surrounding forces are eyeing...
Qiu Che again Even if your heart is hot, you have to endure it.
But she didn't expect that just when she was about to let go of Li Qingwu and go to the study to calm down, Li Qingwu pulled her sleeve: "Where are you going?"
Qiu Che coughed and tried to pretend to be as calm as ever: "There is something else. ..."
Li Qingwu stared at her with his slightly red eyes, until Qiu Che felt a little uneasy. He was about to ask "what's wrong" - but Li Qingwu suddenly let go of his hand again.
She lowered her head and said, "You go ahead."
Qiu Che licked his lips, but he didn't know where he got the courage to suddenly move forward and put his lips on hers.
Li Qingwu took a breath: "...what?"
Qiu Che whispered: "It's to comfort."
Li Qingwu was still a little depressed. I don't know why she can be so calm and calm even after a long separation. Seeing her like this, that subtle hint of The anger also disappeared.
She wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "I'm fine. If you have anything to deal with, you can tell me."
Qiu Che opened his lips and was about to speak when there was a knock on the door.
Li Qingwu now almost has a psychological shadow on the knock on the door - it seems that every time he gets a knock on the door recently, something bad is always going to happen.
Qiu Che noticed her sudden tense mood and reached out to hold her fingers, silently comforting her.
"Come in."
Poria was so blessed that she was even used to it, and her tone was a bit tired: "Your Highness, the Consort. The Queen Mother said that Your Majesty seems to be interested in inviting Princess Pingyi to Northern Hungary for marriage... He specially sent someone to inform you. Let's talk."
Qiu Che and Li Qingwu looked at each other and whispered, "I was about to say that the news Wu Yiqi gave me this morning was that His Majesty intended to negotiate peace with Northern Hungary."
It turns out that the peace talks meant sending the princess away . Make peace.
This is really... one wave after another.
"Is he crazy?!" Li Qingwu said hoarsely. No matter how well-mannered she was, she couldn't help but curse out, "How old is Pingyi? She is only ten years old!"
Qiu Che could still speak sarcastically. Ridiculing: "Throughout the ages, there are not a few girls who have been engaged and married at the age of ten."
This is the case in this cannibal society. Gold, silver, wealth and women are all currencies that can be used for transportation.
Sad but true.
While the two were talking, Fu Ling's eyes unconsciously fell on their intertwined hands.
Qiu Che subconsciously wanted to let go, but Li Qingwu held him tightly with his backhand.
When Qiu Che turned around, her eyes were red and she looked like she was about to cry again. For a moment, Qiu Che couldn't help but pull her hand out or not.
"You just kissed me," Li Qingwu said in surprise, "Don't you want to be responsible?"
Fuling: "..."
No.
Doesn't anyone care about her feelings?
Although one could tell from the atmosphere that the relationship between His Royal Highness and Qiu Che, the female consort, was not simple...
I didn't expect it to be that simple.
They are a fake couple, so you two just pretend to be real, right?
Qiu Che didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't bother to look at Fuling's expression for a moment and explained: "I didn't mean that."
Wasn't she afraid that Li Qingwu was thin-skinned and would be shy if he was seen holding hands?
Li Qingwu's expression softened a bit, but now was obviously not a good time to discuss this.
She lifted the quilt with her other hand and got out of bed, saying bluntly: "I want to enter the palace."
"Don't be impulsive," Qiu Che grabbed her, stood up as well, and said seriously, "I have just been released from prison, and His Majesty is facing you and me. We are dissatisfied, and there is an invasion from the Northern Hungarians on the border. If you enter the palace at this time, you may be hit by a gun. "
"Not to mention that you and I are a fake couple..."
Seeing Li Qingwu's expression of concern, Qiu Che quickly changed his words: " What's more, you and I are a fake couple in the eyes of others. What if your father sets his sights on you and forces you and me to divorce?"
Li Qingwu hesitated for a moment, then she pulled him back and said, "That's right. What should I do? Pingyi is so small, let her go and get married... I heard that the Northern Hung King is very cruel, and I am afraid that he will torture her to death."
Before he finished speaking, Qiu Che didn't say anything, but heard another voice outside the door. It was a rush of footsteps.
Yu Ming appeared at the door, breathing slightly, and said: "Miss, Your Highness... someone has come from the palace. They said that Your Majesty heard that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess has awakened, and please come to the palace immediately to see the saint."
An ominous premonition enveloped his heart.
Qiu Che frowned slightly, held Li Qingwu down and said, "I'll go."
Li Qingwu was stunned.
Then Qiu Che turned around and said to Yu Ming: "The people who came back to the palace said that His Highness was unwell and had a fever and fell into a coma. He could not enter the palace. Please forgive me."
Yu Ming: "Yes."
Li Qingwu's heartbeat was getting louder and louder. The older she is, the more she doesn't know why, her intuition is not good, so she slightly grabs her wrist and says, "...are you going alone?" What does
Qiu Che want to do? Why not let her go?
Qiu Che paused, turned around, and pressed his lips against hers again in front of the other two people.
Li Qingwu's ears weren't red just now, but now in front of everyone, his face turned red as if he was really hot again: "...you?"
Qiu Che was also a little embarrassed, but seeing her like this, he became more generous and said with a smile: "It's still comforting."
"It's okay. I've been in jail, why don't I still stand here properly? This time I will come back in good condition, don't worry."
