Chapter 352: Kiss

Qing He had just left Deren Palace, but Qi Yun Jin still maintained his original posture, his eyes fixed on the face of Gu Jun Qing who had fallen asleep.

After Qinghe left, Li Yuan found a few excuses and left.

Thus, Qi Yunjin was the only one left in the palace. He stared at the person on the couch, seemingly thinking about something. The look in his eyes was obscure, but if you looked closely, the tenderness and compassion in them seemed to be about to overflow.

Qi Yunjin stared at the fair and delicate face. At this time, Gu Junqing's eyes were closed, but his long eyelashes trembled from time to time, as if he was worried about being disturbed by a dream. Against the backdrop of the candlelight, the tiny hairs on the tip of the round and tall nose were clearly visible, which was so cute that it made people's hearts soften. The bright red lips were slightly open because they were defenseless. If you look closely, you can faintly see the small and cute tongue inside the cavity.

Qi Yunjin's eyes darkened and he closed them, forcing himself to look elsewhere.

Inadvertently, he set his eyes on Gu Junqing's slender wrist exposed outside the quilt.

His eyebrows moved slightly, and he reached out his hand, lifted her wrist, stroked her pulse, and felt the gentle beating of her pulse.

Finally, he unconsciously continued to look at Gu Junqing's face, which was gradually becoming peaceful and relaxed.

For some reason, Qi Yunjin couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Gu Junqing like this. He felt really nervous for no apparent reason and even muttered something in a low voice.

Listening carefully, I could actually hear the words "kiss" and "confession". The candlelight seemed to be brewing some warmth and ambiguity.

After sitting quietly for a while, Qi Yunjin tried to endure it again and again, but finally he couldn't endure it anymore. His previously restrained gaze became increasingly dim. He swept across the eyebrows, the tip of the nose, the jaw, and finally stopped at the delicate and rosy red lips that he had longed for.

He slowly leaned down, and finally placed a soft and delicate kiss on Gu Junqing's forehead.

After the secret kiss, Qi Yunjin's eyes flickered, and the tips of his ears turned red uncontrollably, but deep in his eyes there was a deeper darkness. He restrained himself and looked away, because he no longer had the courage he had when he was kissing secretly before.

He just focused all his attention on a book on the table not far away.

It seems that this is the book that Gu Junqing was reading before he fell into coma.

He stood up, thinking that if he continued reading, he might not be able to control himself and might do something even more precarious to the unconscious Gu Junqing, so Qi Yunjin stood up and walked towards the desk.

After taking a last look at the bed, he sat on the chaise longue not far away, quietly holding the book that Gu Junqing had not had time to finish reading, waiting for Qinghe to come back, and then he left after feeding Gu Junqing the medicine.

Qing He had already prepared the medicinal materials needed for today yesterday, so when she went to the Imperial Hospital, she did not say much and went straight to the pharmacy, where she stayed for quite a while. When the medicinal soup was almost done, the sky was just beginning to turn pale.

She was alone, carefully carrying a bowl of hot brown medicine soup, and walked back to the direction of Deren Palace with a slightly faster pace. Behind her were a group of imperial doctors, who were the ones Qinghe met in the Imperial Hospital. They had been following Qinghe, watching her develop the prescription, and even helping her to make the medicine soup from time to time.

Here, the eunuch guarding outside the Naruhito Palace saw Qinghe and the other imperial doctors, and seemed to think of something, but he opened his mouth and finally lowered his head, not intending to continue speaking. Qinghe was thinking about his general or the bowl of medicine in his hand, so he naturally didn't pay attention to the entanglement in the eunuch's eyes or other emotions.

Seeing the door open, Qing He walked in. Hearing the sound of the palace door closing again, Qing He's expression did not change. She just raised her head and subconsciously looked at the current condition of her general.

However, as soon as she looked up and saw the emperor's face and her general's face almost getting close to each other, Qing He's eyes widened, her hands trembled, and she almost spilled the medicine in her hand to the ground. The astonishment on her face was clearly revealed.

The soup spoon on the medicine bowl also swayed back and forth because of Qinghe's actions. The crisp sound of porcelain pieces hitting each other seemed particularly harsh in the silent and magnificent palace.

Qing He reacted and realized what she had just done. Her eyelids twitched and she suddenly realized that she was covered in cold sweat. She quickly lowered her head.

Fortunately, the emperor didn't seem to care about his actions just now. He didn't even look at Qinghe, and even maintained his original movements. He just stroked Gu Junqing's face for a while, and finally called Qinghe over softly and asked her to hand the bowl of medicine to him.

After all, she was still worried about her own general, so Qinghe, who had been keeping her head down, secretly used her peripheral vision to see what the emperor was doing. However, when she saw clearly that the emperor personally picked up the soup spoon, slowly stirred the medicine soup inside, scooped up a spoonful, and then blew on it carefully, and finally extended the spoonful of medicine soup to Gu Junqing's lips.

Seeing this, Qing He did not have the courage to continue reading. Her eyes flickered as she recalled what she had just seen. Even though she had previously deceived herself into thinking that the Emperor only valued and appreciated her general as a monarch and his subjects, the facts were now before her. The Emperor put aside his own government affairs and took care of her without taking off his clothes. This tenderness and meticulousness could never be as simple as appreciation, or even a perfunctory excuse.

The gentleness in the emperor's eyes cannot deceive anyone, not to mention that the look Qinghe saw was exactly the same as the one in Shi Yulin's eyes!

The emperor actually fell in love with his own general!

Qi Yunjin naturally wouldn't pay attention to what Qinghe was thinking about, after all, his heart and eyes were full of Gu Junqing.

In other words, even if he noticed it, Ye would not care. On the contrary, he might be quite happy. After all, this maid would definitely tell Gu Junqing about it. If Gu Junqing knew about it, then he wouldn't have to be timid.

Qi Yunjin reached out, took out the handkerchief in her arms, and carefully wiped the water stains on the corner of Gu Junqing's mouth with a look of concentration. After wiping, she took one last look at Gu Junqing and stood up. She turned her back and walked a few steps. She glanced at Qinghe who was almost standing in the corner, and after slowly reminding her to take good care of General Gu, she left without looking back.

Not until the palace door was closed did Qing He raise her head, her eyes full of panic and worry. She looked at her general's peaceful sleeping face, and then recalled the emperor's gentle eyes and soft movements when facing her general.

It's over now.
