“Madam is here…”
Zhao Li also felt that there was something mysterious. Why did Chu Fengqing come here? The key point was that they didn’t even receive the news. What were that group of people in the capital doing?
Ji Yujin didn’t have time to think and hurried towards the city gate. Zhao Li wanted to stop him but was scared away by his look.
His wife is here, and he still wants to stop him?!
Chu Fengqing was sitting in the carriage and looking outside. In the south, the beginning of spring rain falls at about the same time as the Spring Festival this year, and the Spring Festival is in five days. The capital city is already full of the festive atmosphere, and every household is busy preparing for the New Year, but it is still cold. It is different here. After the flood receded, the mountains in the distance are already showing signs of spring, with a hint of green. What’s more, many mountain flowers are in bloom.
When Ji Yujin arrived at the city gate, some of the people from the imperial court had already entered the city. Chu Fengqing jumped off the carriage at some point and found a relatively clean place to stand. There was a drizzle in the sky. He looked up, and soon tiny drops of water hung on his eyelashes.
The flood had just passed, and although there was no heavy rain, it was still cloudy and rainy, so the ground was cleaned up but was covered with mud and water again the next day.
Ji Yujin saw him at a glance and wanted to stop him before he entered the city, but now it seemed that this was not going to work. He clenched his fists and stood not far from him.
That person just stood in the rain, his face pale, the rain falling on his hair, and for a moment, he even felt that he was more fragile than the rain.
His eyes became more and more scorching.
Chu Fengqing seemed to have noticed something and slowly raised his head to look in the direction of the sight, and unexpectedly met another pair of eyes.
The breeze, carrying drizzle, suddenly rushed into the eyes of the two people. The blooming mountain flowers outside the city could not compare to the eyes of lovers who met again after a long separation.
Chu Fengqing looked at him. He had taken off those cumbersome red clothes and changed into gray clothes, which looked much simpler but also lighter. Although without the red clothes to contrast with him, his “eccentricity” was not diminished at all, and he was still the “King of Hell” who would make people bow their heads in fear at a glance.
Chu Fengqing pursed his lips and curled them slightly.
Fortunately, everything is fine.
Ji Yujin was stunned by his smile, and his emotions went from surprise to ecstasy and then to rage, but were soon overwhelmed by fear again.
He narrowed his fox eyes and walked towards Chu Fengqing step by step, “Who asked you to come?”
Chu Fengqing knew very well that he was already angry. He blinked his sore eyes and said expressionlessly, “His Majesty.”
“The old emperor?”
Chu Fengqing nodded, his clear eyes showing fatigue but surprisingly bright. “Yes, he saw that I have excellent medical skills, so he ordered me to come south to help.”
Ji Yujin made a “tsk” sound, not knowing for a moment whether what he said was true or not. He took off his coat and put it on Chu Fengqing’s head. He tried his best to suppress his anger and said in a relatively calm tone, “Why didn’t you tell me when you’re reply to my letter?”
The clothes kept out the continuous rain, and Ji Yujin’s body temperature was still lingering on them, along with a faint scent of agarwood.
Chu Fengqing: “Didn’t His Majesty’s decree say that? I thought you knew about it.”
Ji Yujin: “……”
Suddenly he remembered that imperial edict that he had not finished reading that day. Who would have known that Chu Fengqing’s name would be at the end of it?
Ji Yujin: “I was negligent. Even so, you can’t come here. Do you know where this is? Why did you come here?”
Chu Fengqing: “It’s a place that you are here.”
Ji Yujin: “……”
If we were to say who in this world could subdue Ji Yujin, it would only be Chu Fengqing.
He was speechless. Chu Fengqing was really capable. He could always calm all his anger with just one sentence.
After a while, Ji Yujin chuckled and said, “Don’t think that you can let this matter go by saying nice things. We still have to slowly settle this account.”
Chu Fengqing pursed his lips, a trace of regret showing on his face, his plan failed.
“You are as smart as a little foxe when you come at me. If you were this careful with others, you wouldn’t be tricked into coming here.” Ji Yujin glanced at the city gate, as if he were still thinking about whether he could let the person out again. “This group is the same, they have to rush to do anything on weekdays. Now they are so quick and let people in without my order.”
Military orders are as heavy as mountains. Even he cannot easily overturn the rules he sets.
“Let’s go, get on the carriage, and go back to the mansion.”
This time, Ji Yujin did not walk beside Chu Fengqing. They were always one step apart, as if he was leading the way for him.
Chu Fengqing looked at his back, frowning slightly. He looked so calm that it seemed unlike Ji Yujin.
The two returned to the mansion.
This mansion cannot be said to be big, but it is not small either. If the Ji Mansion is grand, then this mansion is a “petite beauty”. The architecture has the unique charm of the south.
Chu Fengqing put his clothes on the table next to him, and Ji Yujin took a basin of water and washed his hands several times.
He rubbed his hands to warm them up and then returned to Chu Fengqing. He reached out and touched his dark eyes and said with some heartache, “Why are you so thin? I took all precautions but still missed out and dragged you into this.”
