"My lord, take care of yourself. It's not that your subordinate doesn't want to save you, but the princess's expression is really terrifying."
Mu Fengqie showed up at the martial arts training ground with a gloomy face. Seeing Jing Xunchao fighting with someone on the stage, her face was beyond just gloomy. A chill seemed to be emanating from her.
The soldiers standing around automatically made way for Mu Fengqie when they saw her. They stole a glance at Jing Xunchao on the stage. It seemed that the princess was coming with ill intent.
However, Jing Xunchao, who was sweating profusely while fighting on the stage, didn't notice what was going on here. After the person on the stage stepped down, he glanced at the people in front of him and said, "Is there anyone else who wants to challenge me?" Jing Xunchao felt extremely energetic today, so he came to the martial arts training ground.
Mu Fengqie strolled onto the stage and said, "I'll have a match with you."
At the sound of Mu Fengqie's voice, Jing Xunchao stiffened. He slowly turned around and looked at Mu Fengqie who had already stepped onto the stage. Stuttering, he said, "Qie... Qie'er, you're awake."
"Yes. If I hadn't woken up, how could I have seen our marquis's heroic posture?" Mu Fengqie said expressionlessly.
"Qie'er, I was wrong." Jing Xunchao looked at Mu Fengqie timidly. Although he didn't know what Qie'er was angry about, he had heard that pregnant women were moody. Anyway, admitting his mistake was the right thing to do.
"Wrong? Where are you wrong? How could our marquis be wrong? It's me who's wrong. I shouldn't have interrupted the marquis's match with others and spoiled his fun." Mu Fengqie didn't know why she said such things. They just came out of her mouth.
"Qie'er, don't say that. I'm really wrong." It's kind of scary when you talk like this. I can't bear it, Qie'er.
The people around watched as the marquis, who had been so arrogant just now, was now as timid as a young daughter - in - law. They all covered their mouths tightly, trying not to laugh. However, from their constantly shrugging shoulders, it could be seen that they were having a hard time holding back.
"Alright. Then tell me, marquis, where were you wrong?" Mu Fengqie glanced at Jing Xunchao and said.
"This... I was wrong in..." Jing Xunchao wracked his brains trying to think about what he had done wrong, but after going through his memory, he couldn't think of anything.
"I was wrong in making Qie'er take such good care of me. It should be me taking care of Qie'er." Jing Xunchao said weakly beside Mu Fengqie. But when he saw Mu Fengqie's face turn even gloomier, he knew he had said the wrong thing.
"It seems that the marquis doesn't know. Then I won't make a fool of myself here. Goodbye." With that, Mu Fengqie yanked out her sleeve and walked off the stage.
"No, Qie'er, I'm wrong. I'm really wrong. Can you give me a hint?" Jing Xunchao quickly chased after her. He didn't care about the martial arts competition anymore. His wife was angry. What was the point of competing?
"The marquis really dotes on the princess." A soldier said enviously.
"Humph! So what? When my wife was pregnant, I wanted to worship her like an ancestor." A guard recalled the past and said.
"Qie'er, walk slowly. You're pregnant. Be careful of your belly." Jing Xunchao was just giving a reminder, but it sounded different to Mu Fengqie's ears.
"Fine. Now that you have the baby, you don't love me anymore, right? Has our relationship faded? Do you want me to find some gentle and understanding women to accompany you?" Mu Fengqie looked at Jing Xunchao in a sarcastic tone.
Jing Xunchao was so confused by Mu Fengqie's words that his head was spinning. What was all this about? "No, Qie'er, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean that. I'm just worried about you."
"So in the end, it's my fault, right?" Mu Fengqie stopped and looked at Jing Xunchao.
Jing Xunchao saw that Mu Fengqie looked like she would leave immediately if he didn't explain clearly. He lowered his head weakly and said, "Qie'er, I'm wrong." But where on earth was he wrong!
Jing Xunchao was on the verge of a mental breakdown, but he didn't show it on his face at all.
Seeing Jing Xunchao sincerely admitting his mistake, Mu Fengqie sighed and said, "I'm angry because you don't cherish your own body. Your illness has just started to improve, and you go out to have a martial arts competition with them. What if something unexpected happens? What should I do?" After saying that, Mu Fengqie's eyes turned red.
Seeing Mu Fengqie with red - rimmed eyes like a rabbit, Jing Xunchao pulled her into his arms and said, "It's my fault. I won't do it again next time." He didn't expect that Qie'er was worried about this.
He thought he had explained everything clearly, but because of his clumsy words, Mu Fengqie got angry again. "You still want there to be a next time? Do you just want me to take care of you? Let me tell you, don't even think about it!"
Jing Xunchao stared at Mu Fengqie in disbelief as she turned around and left. He deeply realized that he should never provoke a woman, especially a pregnant woman. Their tempers could flare up at any time without any warning.
Jing Xunchao chased after Mu Fengqie and coaxed her for a long time. He made guarantees and swore oaths before finally managing to coax her. He held Mu Fengqie in his arms and gently lulled her to sleep.
She had been working so hard these days. Being pregnant was already tiring, and after coming to the military camp, she started investigating the epidemic disaster without having a good rest. After the epidemic disaster was resolved, he got sick.
Jing Xunchao looked at Mu Fengqie's gaunt face and felt extremely heart - broken. He silently vowed that he must fatten Qie'er up.
Although Jing Xunchao had sent people to look for the antidote, the poisoned people couldn't wait. So Mu Fengqie had to use other medicines to suppress the poison and wait for the antidote to arrive.
One day, while Mu Fengqie was boiling medicine for them, a person came to the main military tent. Mu Fengqie thought this person was here to find Jing Xunchao, so she didn't pay much attention. However, after the person walked around the room, he came up to Mu Fengqie.
Mu Fengqie looked up at the person and asked, "What do you want?"
"Princess Tianlin, I'm General Zhang, personally appointed by the emperor." General Zhang looked down at Mu Fengqie with his head held high. His eyes were full of contempt.
"Oh, and then?" Mu Fengqie didn't care at all who this person was or if he had anything to do with her.
"What I mean is, when the antidote arrives, you should give me a bowl first." What if there isn't enough antidote in the end? So it's first come, first served.
"General Zhang, what do you mean by this? When the antidote arrives, it will be distributed uniformly. Why should I make an exception for you?" Mu Fengqie looked at General Zhang sarcastically.
"Don't you understand? I'm a general. My life is much more valuable than those soldiers'. You should save me first!"
