He couldn't imagine the scene of a child who was just born that year and was still so young being thrown to the ground.
He was glad that he caught Jill in time.
Looking at the sleeping girl, he lowered his head and placed a gentle kiss on Jill's hair.
night.
After dinner, Chu Qi sent Ji'er back to the house and then returned to the study.
The guard followed up and reported: "General, my subordinates have found clues from the woman. The woman has the royal totem of Southern Xinjiang tattooed on her arm. She should be from Southern Xinjiang."
Chu Qi had already guessed it. Hearing this, he was not very surprised, "Well, I already know about this matter. Let's put it aside for now. I have other things now that I need you to do."
The guard calmed down and asked, "Please give me your orders, general."
Chu Qi thought for a while, took out the letterhead, spread it out, wrote a paragraph on it, then folded it and put it in an envelope and handed it to Konoe.
"Lin Mo, please send this letter to the Imperial Capital in person and hand it over to the Emperor."
Lin Mo took it and said without asking any more questions, "Yes."
"Send it to the emperor as quickly as possible." Chu Qi said again, "Let's set off after dawn."
"I accept my orders." Lin Mo took the envelope, left the study, and went down to prepare.
Chu Qi stood in front of the open window, looking at the deep night outside, with sadness filling her eyebrows.
Jill already has a knot in her heart.
He felt that the person who tied the bell needed to untie it.
The knot in Jill's heart still needs to be solved by the emperor.
I hope that after receiving his letter, the emperor can come to Xishui Pass to untie the knot in Jill's heart.
He let out a long sigh, left the study, and walked towards Jill's room.
Jill had just finished taking a shower, sitting in front of the window with her wet hair disheveled.
Chu Qi took the cloth, walked over, closed the window first, then walked behind her and gently wiped her wet hair.
Jill turned around and smiled at him.
Chu Qi held the cloth's fingers and tightened them hard.
Although Jill was smiling, her lonely smile made him feel a dull pain in his heart.
He smiled nonchalantly, and did not stop until he dried her hair. When he took her hand, he found that her hand was very cold, and his heart suddenly tightened, and he suppressed the pain and said: "Jier , it’s cold at night, don’t sit by the window.”
"Okay." Jill responded obediently, stood up, and sat on the bed with him.
When Ji'er saw that her hair was dry, she said to Chu Qi: "Xiao Qi, it's getting late and you've been tired for the whole day. Go back to bed quickly."
Chu Qi was stunned for a moment, staring at her with black eyes.
He thought that she would stay with him and not let him go like she did last night.
"Okay." After a long while, Chu Qi responded, leaned over and kissed her forehead, then turned around and went out.
Looking at the closed door, the smile on Jill's face disappeared. She hugged her knees and sat on the bed, burying her face in her knees and curling herself up tightly.
Outside the door, Chu Qi did not leave immediately.
He stood outside for a long time, until the lights in the room went out, and then he left with heavy steps.
…
Lin Mo rode on the fastest horse and traveled day and night, working hard. Five days later, he finally arrived at the Imperial Capital, met with Long Yang, and personally presented him with the letter given to him on the seventh day of the lunar month.
Looking at the guard who was so tired and about to collapse at any moment, Long Yang's heart sank, thinking that Ji'er was in danger.
But when he opened the envelope and saw the content on the letter, he staggered and fell under the chair. His whole body suddenly seemed to have aged several years, and his eyebrows were full of dejection.
