After a hundred strokes, Xiao Ran rushed over, shouting Junxu’s name. Looking at the person in her arms, who was clearly gasping for breath, she almost wanted to cry. She opened Junxu’s mouth and poured the medicine into it from the porcelain bottle. It spilled all over the ground, and what she managed to pour into her mouth was too hard to swallow.
The personal guards surrounded them tightly, and a faint sneer appeared on the face of the Marquis of Wuyang, Chang Su. The generals stood around stupidly. Feng Qin walked forward like a wandering soul, took the medicine in Xiao Ran’s hand, put it in his mouth, and lowered his head to push it little by little into Jun Xu’s throat with the tip of his tongue.
Everyone thought Jun Xu was making a big deal out of nothing, but he knew why.
Li Huqiu had fled, and what had been a very exciting scene had ended awkwardly. Jun Xu could have recovered the silver, disciplined the army, placed the military governor under house arrest, and seized control of the army. Unfortunately, she slipped on the last step, with Feng Qin.
The military governor, Wuyang Hou, who was within reach, slipped out of her grasp, and the army…heh heh…remained neutral.
The reason is not for any other reason, but because Junxu doesn’t want to be enemies with Fengqin from the bottom of her heart.
Otherwise, in terms of their martial arts skills, Junxu may be slightly better.
But this time, if Junxu were to kill Li Huju again, Fengqin might really not be able to be with her. Just because the crown princess can bear it doesn’t mean she can bear anything. Fengqin’s position has already begun to be neutral. If they become enemies, how can they maintain their relationship?
So Junxu relented, and she hated herself for it.
In the end, she couldn’t bear to see Feng Qin suffer for her again.
The marshal was carried back to his tent, everyone dispersed, the case was closed, the prisoner killed, the silver returned, and the system reformed. But no one felt happy, and it was very bleak in the whistling wind.
However, there was one thing that Junxu did not expect: everyone in the army felt suffocated, and the marshal felt just as suffocated as they did, or even more so, to the extent that he wanted to kill himself.
Morale had plummeted. In the entire camp, apart from the soldiers with long faces, there were generals with long faces. The only excitement was in the marshal’s tent, where Xiao sat in a chair, crying loudly, wiping his tears away while writing prescriptions.
Feng Qin’s whip marks had not been treated because he had been in a hurry to return, and he had just broken out in a cold sweat, which had already stuck to his clothes. In the midst of his movements, he had torn some of the skin, faintly revealing some blood. His narrow eyes were full of misery
‘You… You don’t like me anymore, do you?’
‘You think I’m a nuisance, don’t you?’
“I’ll be careful in the future… I won’t do this again, so please wake up!’
‘First take your medicine and don’t be so headstrong, the marshal of the three armies… how can you do things like this…‘
’I know… you’re proud… you don’t like to be restrained… but…‘
’But, this is the way the world is‘
’Royal power… cannot be shaken… even if… even if… it’s unfair, you have to… put up with it’
‘I know you want a fair environment, but you can’t touch the Emperor’s appointed Marquis of Wuyang. In the end, you had to kill innocent people to take the blame… It’s hard on your conscience, and I… I let Li Huqiu go.‘
’In the future… I won’t dare to do it again. Don’t scare me. Open your mouth and drink the medicine. In the future, I’ll go around the edges and handle it, so you won’t feel any more pain.’
Xiao Ran wiped away a tear, walked over and handed Feng Qin a box of ointment
‘You should apply the medicine first.’
Feng Qin shook his head. Xiao Ran was at a loss for words. After a long while
‘You’d better pry her lips open and feed her the medicine orally. If this guy doesn’t drink the medicine, he’ll really meet his doom.’
“I tried, but she…bites too hard.’
Xiao Ran thought for a moment, and pulled a purse out of Junxu’s clothes and gently placed it in her hand to hold
“Have you thought of anything? Tell me! Do you still have the desire to live! Are you even a woman! You’re useless!’
Junxu’s fingers closed slightly, and after a long time, her teeth loosened. Feng Qin’s face turned pale, which startled Xiao Ran. However, in the end, Feng Qin didn’t say anything, but slowly passed a mouthful of medicine into Junxu’s mouth. In the candlelight, this way of feeding medicine seemed like an endless lingering kiss, containing too much unspeakable confiding. Tears flowed down her throat with the medicine. Junxu frowned, but she didn’t wake up.
