The Emperor was kissed by the Regent and cried again

Chapter 175 Humph! A man who says one thing and means another!

Shen Jingli: "From now on, soldiers returning to Beijing will be sent to the Ministry of Justice for custody. Without my permission, no one may torture them privately."

"Now, keep them under strict supervision and do not allow them to have any contact with the outside world. Just send the imperial physician to treat them every day."

"Yes, I obey your command." He Jingxian replied.

"Retreat from the court."

……

As soon as Shen Jingli finished her morning duties, she returned to Qianlu Palace for breakfast. After breakfast, she went to Qianzhong Garden to prepare new medicinal wine.

She has not left the palace these days, and has been spending the whole day in Qianzhong Garden and Xuezhenfang.

Qin Yejue did not come to court this morning, and Shen Jingli became absent-minded after the court session.

He's been very busy lately...

……

Today, Shen Jingli, as usual, took a shower and prepared for bed after a busy day.

She had just laid down and closed her eyes for a short while when she felt a chill on her back.

Shen Jingli knew that the person hugging her from behind was Qin Yejue, so she did not struggle.

Last night, Qin Yejue was busy until the early hours of the morning before he came to the Qianlu Palace. He gently lifted the quilt and held her in his arms...

Qin Yejue thought he had been very careful and should not have woken up the person in his arms. Little did he know that... Shen Jingli had been waiting for him the entire time, and only fell asleep peacefully after sensing his presence.

……

Qin Yejue came early tonight. He came just as Shen Jingli fell asleep.

Just as Shen Jingli was about to speak, Qin Yejue interrupted him. He said in a hoarse voice, "Tomorrow, I will set off for Xuerui Country."

Qin Yejue brought the process forward. He had arranged everything so that he could go to Xuerui Country to find Zhiyanghua as soon as possible. He wanted to come back early to be with Shen Jingli.

He also wanted to use all the good things in the world as a betrothal gift and take the person in his arms home.

If Shen Jingli could accept it, he would spoil her with his life for the rest of his life and would not let her suffer any grievances.

If she doesn't accept...

Qin Yejue felt depressed when he thought of this. He rested his chin on the top of Shen Jingli's head and rubbed it gently.

Even if she doesn't accept it, he will still marry her and pamper her!

It's not impossible to get married first and then develop feelings.

Anyway, Shen Jingli can only belong to him.

……

When Shen Jingli heard that Qin Yejue was leaving, he immediately lowered his eyes.

how so fast !

These past few days, Qin Yejue was always very busy. He was nowhere to be seen during the day and only came back in the middle of the night. I didn’t have a chance to develop a good relationship with him! !

"Qin Yejue...can I go with you?"

"No, there are dangers along the way."

Qin Yejue refused decisively. He still had some rationality left. This trip was not only to look for Zhiyanghua, but also to settle other grudges completely.

After Shen Jingli said that she wanted to go with Qin Yejue, she felt that she had been foolish. The journey would surely be difficult, and she didn't know any martial arts. If she forced herself to go, she would only hold Qin Yejue back.

Besides, the problem of the soldiers' numbness in their limbs has not been resolved.

"I was just kidding. I'll wait for you to come back."

Qin Yejue held Shen Jingli's shoulders and turned her around so that she could look at him.

He also wanted to keep Shen Jingli by his side. If she was not by his side, he would always feel uneasy, afraid that she would be bullied or wronged.

……

Qin Yejue hugged Shen Jingli tightly again. He reached out and touched the back of Shen Jingli's head. "During the time when I'm away, don't go out of the palace too often, especially to places like brothels. You are not allowed to go there anymore."

"I go there once in a while when I'm bored..."

Qin Yejue loosened his hands, pressed Shen Jingli under him, held her face and kissed her.

Qin Yejue kissed Shen Jingli passionately and lingeringly, without any lightness or strength, nibbling and biting him. Soon, Shen Jingli could no longer resist and began to surrender.

"Well... I won't go..."

“It hurts… ugh…”

"Qin Yejue...I'm in pain..."

Hearing the cry of pain from the person below him, Qin Yejue had no choice but to let him go. He touched Shen Jingli's slightly swollen lips, feeling reluctant. He had indeed kissed him too hard just now.

But since she wanted to go to the brothel while I was away, I still had to punish her severely.

"Idiot, if I catch you again, I will definitely not let you off easily."

Qin Yejue said threatening words, but his expression was unusually gentle, so Shen Jingli had no choice but to respond to him with a blushing face.

She has no interest in going to a brothel recently.

Qin Yejue embraced Shen Jingli again, kissed the top of her head, and said softly: "Be good, don't go yet. When I come back, I will take you there."

"it is good…"

Shen Jingli raised her hand and responded to Qin Yejue's hug. She rested her cheek on Qin Yejue's chest, quietly feeling his strong heartbeat.

Qin Yejue buried his head in Shen Jingli's neck again and continued to instruct her, "Hide when you encounter trouble, run if you can't fight, beg for mercy if you can't run, don't lose your life, if you are wronged, don't be arrogant, I will definitely take care of it for you when I come back."

Although Qin Yejue secretly sent a lot of people to protect Shen Jingli, he always felt that the arrangements were not thorough enough...

Perhaps, only when Shen Jingli is under his nose can he feel completely at ease.

Shen Jingli pinched Qin Yejue's arm heavily, "Hmm? What you said is not right, I don't think I am... that useless!?"

Qin Yejue chuckled and hugged him tighter, "You are not useless at all, you are the best."

"Humph! A man who says one thing and means another!"

"When I'm not around, you have to do some arm exercises every day. I'll check on you the first thing you do when I come back. If you don't see any improvement, I'll..."

Qin Yejue put his lips to Shen Jingli's ear, and the cool breath surrounded Shen Jingli's ear, adding a little ambiguity, "Severe punishment..."

Qin Yejue's actions were too provocative, and Shen Jingli blushed suddenly: "Wait... wait until you come back."

Qin Yejue held Shen Jingli's shoulders and suddenly became serious. He said, "Do you really think those soldiers are pretending to be sick?"

Shen Jingli shook her head. She had gone to the Imperial Hospital last time to check on the conditions of the soldiers returning to Beijing, and their condition did not seem to be fake.

"Qin Yejue, my experience and intuition tell me that they are not faking illness. It should be that... the toxin only stays on the surface of the skin and does not penetrate into the texture."

Shen Jingli suddenly felt powerless. She sighed softly, "It's just that... there are tens of thousands of poisonous plants and animals in this world. I don't know why they were poisoned, so there is no way to prescribe the right medicine."

"Since it is difficult to find the cause of the poison, we might as well just suspect that they are faking illness so that the San people can relax their vigilance and see if they will get carried away and reveal some flaws."

"Later, if we do develop an antidote, we will not make it public for now and will treat them in secret first."

Qin Yejue: "You want to secretly treat them after locking them up in the Ministry of Justice?"

"You mean, the Ministry of Justice will definitely reveal the soldiers' current situation?"

"The Ministry of Justice has many people and many different opinions, so it's hard to keep everything secret. Tomorrow, I'll order Zhe Yu to lock them up in the secret cell in Long Xiao Palace, and all the soldiers who will arrive in the capital will be locked up together with them."
