Female-to-male: I live on farming

Qin Ke returned all the whips he had received before, and only then did he feel relieved. He ignored those people's pleas for mercy, threw away the whips and went back to find Lu Youqing.

During the whole process, Lu Youqing looked at him with eyes full of doting.

But before leaving, she gave Cheng Chi a dark and sharp look. She didn't need to say anything more. Cheng Chi naturally understood and bowed, indicating that he knew what to do.

It is said that during the interrogation of the traitors, the supervisors suffered particularly badly. Even if they did not hide anything, they were still tied to the rack and beaten half to death after confessing, leaving them with only one breath left.

However, Qin Ke didn't care about these things. His task had been completed and he didn't need to take care of the finishing work.

After coming down the mountain, they temporarily stayed in a nearby town. When Qin Ke arrived at the place where he stayed, he urgently asked for hot water for a bath.

When they were undercover, all of them were like this, and it was hard to tell who was dirtier or stinkier. Qin Ke still felt somewhat comforted and could tolerate it.

But now, in front of Lu Youqing, who was clean and tidy and exuded a light and elegant fragrance, Qin Ke felt extremely embarrassed and uneasy, and didn't even know where to put his hands.

The most important thing is that the soft and fragrant wife is right in front of him, but he can't hug or kiss her, which is even more tormenting.

So he got off the carriage and told people to prepare hot water. Fortunately, it was July, a hot summer, so even a cold shower was bearable.

He threw the tattered clothes that were so black that one could not tell their original color aside. The first bucket of bath water soon turned into mud. Qin Ke was able to soak for a while only after changing the second bucket of water.

Lu Youqing came in at this time, holding some clean clothes and wound medicine in her hands.

Lu Youqing was often served by maids when she bathed, as she was used to being served since she was a child. But Qin Ke never let anyone get close to her when she bathed.

Lu Youqing would not let other women get close to Qin Ke, and Qin Ke would never tolerate a servant serving him closely. Although he now accepted the gender of this body, it did not mean that he could be like an ordinary man without any scruples.

Fortunately, he had been accustomed to being self-reliant for more than 20 years and did not need anyone else. If it was really inconvenient, his wife would come to help.

For example, at this moment, Lu Youqing was already standing behind him, with her sleeves rolled up, revealing her fair wrists, and she was using a wooden comb to carefully comb his tangled and messy long hair, with extremely gentle movements.

Qin Ke pursed her lips and asked shyly, "Will there be lice?"

He felt that the damp and dark environment of a prison cell was most likely to be infested with bugs. Moreover, those people hadn't washed their hair for eight hundred years. If they got too close, they might get bitten.

"No, just wash it well." Lu Youqing's eyes were soft, and the corners of his lips curved up, revealing a faint smile.

Qin Ke had his back to her and did not see the smile on her face, but he could hear her gentle tone as she coaxed him.

At this time, she had already straightened his long hair, applied shampoo soap and rubbed it for a while, then used a basin to scoop water and wet the long hair little by little to rinse off the foam.

Qin Ke took a very long bath this time. He changed the hot water three times in total. Even with Lu Youqing's help, it took him another hour and a half to finish.

The skin on his body was wrinkled from being soaked, and he could no longer smell any strange odor. Only then did Qin Ke feel that he was alive again.

He sat cross-legged on the bed in his trousers, with his upper body naked and his back to Lu Youqing, feeling the gentle touch on his back from time to time. Lu Youqing's movements were too light, and he felt a little itchy.

It even spread from the back to the heart, just like grass growing on it.

"There shouldn't be any broken skin, right?" Qin Ke coughed lightly, breaking the silence in the room.

Lu Youqing placed the tip of her index finger on the deepest red mark on his back. The mark was very long, almost running through half of his back.

Although it was just a mark, it was too glaring on his broad, thick, and grooved back, causing Lu Youqing's eyes to ache.

Qin Ke felt that the movement behind him had stopped, so he turned around, and with the help of the swaying dim light, he moved closer and stared into Lu Youqing's eyes without blinking.

Lu Youqing's heart was moved by his soft and innocent eyes.

"Did I do well this time?"

Lu Youqing smiled, raised her hand and stroked his cheek, and whispered softly: "You did a good job, better than I thought."

"Are there any officials from the capital in the account book?" Qin Ke put on his coat.

Lu Youqing's eyes dimmed. "Of course I have. I have already written a memorial and sent someone to deliver it to the capital at full speed. If nothing unexpected happens, His Majesty will know the situation here in three days."

Qin Ke nodded silently.

Treason is always a big deal, and with this gold mine, your Majesty's edict will arrive in a few days.

"I think this is all God's will. The flood could have rushed anywhere else, but it had to rush me into the rebel's lair. It seems that God can't stand them either, so he sent me to wipe them out." Qin Ke smiled, in a very good mood.

"Don't worry, after this, the Mahayana sect will not be able to rise again. With this account book, many officials in the court can be cleared."

Lu Youqing felt that Qin Ke was sent by God to save Dayan. It was because of Qin Ke that the princess was able to accumulate the capital for the rebellion so quickly, with food, soldiers, and even magic weapons.

Now, by chance, we have found the rebels' base and we will wipe them out in one fell swoop before they can develop.

Every single thing is beneficial to the country and the people.

"Does the lady have any reward?" Qin Ke's eyes were sparkling as he stared at her without blinking.

Lu Youqing held his arm, tilted his head back, and gently kissed the corner of his lips.

The touch was extremely familiar and soft. Qin Ke was stunned. He didn't expect her to be so direct.

"dislike?"

"No, no," Qin Ke came back to his senses, "I'm just a little surprised."

Lu Youqing stopped talking.

Now that Qin Ke has washed and smelled fragrant, he can finally hold her in his arms. At this moment, no matter what he says, it feels more solid than a hug, and it can better express his feelings.

However, Qin Ke frowned slightly as he placed his hands on Lu Youqing's waist and rubbed it gently. Through her pajamas, he could feel her distinct ribs, which were so thin that they seemed to break if bent.

"You've lost so much weight, it must be because you haven't been eating well these days."

Qin Ke couldn't bear to blame her, and said in a sullen tone: "It's me who made you worry."

Lu Youqing nestled in his arms, feeling his warm, broad chest, feeling very at ease, closing her eyes slightly, and said lazily: "You're back, you'll grow back in a few days."

Qin Ke clearly felt that she was holding his arms extremely tightly, as if she was extremely afraid that he would leave. She kept holding the corner of his clothes tightly with her right hand all night.

He leaned over and kissed her gently between the eyebrows, feeling both distressed and loving.
