I'm already dressed like a fool, what's wrong with taking the regent into the bridal chamb

After some discussion, they returned to their tents to rest.

At night, without Chunyu by her side, Wen Qingzhi felt a little bored for the first time.

She couldn't sleep, so she got up and took a notebook to count the amount of medicine she had used in the past two days.

Suddenly, a figure appeared on the tent. From the clothes he was wearing, she judged that this person was Feng Yunxiao.

"The Regent came here late at night. Is there something?"

Wen Qingzhi spoke in a bad tone, staring at the shadow cast on the tent.

Seeing the shadow move, Feng Junxiao lifted the curtain and came in the next second.

I saw her sitting at the desk, holding a pen in her hand and raising her eyebrows.

Wen Qingzhi said, "I'm just recording the medicine I've used in the past few days."

Feng Yunxiao is a suspicious person by nature. If I don't explain it clearly, he might think I'm writing something about "treason."

Hearing this, Feng Yunxiao said, "This king doesn't care what you write."

"Then why did the Regent visit so late at night?"

Wen Qingzhi put down her pen and booklet and walked aside. "If someone sees us, it will be hard to explain. If the Regent has nothing important to do, please come back tomorrow."

"What do you think of what Ji Wushuang said tonight?"

Feng Yunxiao sat down at a distance from her. "With Lin Lang guarding the outside, even if someone sees us, they will only think we are discussing important matters and won't spread any gossip."

Wen Qingzhi was stunned and puzzled.

"Hasn't my idea been stated? The dead cannot be brought back. I want to live in the present."

"Does living in the present mean ignoring the truth about the tragic deaths of your parents and brother?"

Wen Qingzhi didn't know if she saw it wrong, but she saw a hint of anger on Feng Junxiao's face.

"What does Your Majesty wish your subject to say?"

She straightened her back. "Your Highness knows very well that the Yuan family alone cannot do this. Even if they collude with the Northern Frontier, they cannot kill half of the Wen family's army."

"Later, the remaining old members were tortured by the Yuan family, some died and some were disabled. This is enough to prove that the Yuan family has something to hide."

"Even if my father really lost the battle, his crime wouldn't be punishable by death, right?"

She smiled bitterly, "There are so many people who have lost battles, why is it only my father who has been condemned by the Emperor? Since the Yuan family father and son took control of the military, they have fought only a few battles, and half of them were defeats."

"Why can they be forgiven, even comforted? And my father, who dedicated his life to the Northern Ming, fought for years, only to suffer a single, inexplicable defeat... and be nailed to the pillar of shame for the rest of his life."

As she spoke, she leaned back in her chair like a deflated ball.

"At the beginning of the incident, there should have been many people crying out for justice for my father, right?"

As she spoke, she became more and more excited. "And then? Anyone who speaks up for my Wen family will have a bad ending, right?"

"During those years when I was stupid and ignorant, I missed a lot of things. After I came to my senses, I did some research and learned those horrifying truths and rumors. Then I guessed a few things."

"Lord Regent, you set up this trap today just to test my loyalty to Bei Ming, didn't you?"

She looked directly at Feng Yunxiao and said, "You can rest assured that I will not threaten anyone."

"I just want to... raise my little nephew well. He's had a very hard life. I hope he can have enough food and clothing for the rest of his life."

These words touched Feng Yunxiao.

He always believed that Wen Qingzhi was just a little girl. Even if she really had extraordinary abilities and was helped by gods, she would not be able to cause any trouble with her childish nature.

But these words tonight made Feng Junxiao look at her in a completely different light.

What is in her heart?

There was a heartbreaking sense of brokenness in Wen Qingzhi's cold eyes. She sat there like a porcelain doll held together with glue, which would break at the slightest touch.

Now, the Wen Qingzhi in front of him was full of brokenness, something Feng Junxiao had never seen before.

She sat on the chair with her eyes downcast, her eyes red, her hands tightly clutching the front of her clothes, pretending to be strong. Anyone who saw her would feel pity for her.

"If you have sufficient evidence, I will stand on the side of justice."

After saying that, he stood up and walked in front of Wen Qingzhi, looking down at her.

The two looked at each other, and after a moment, he raised his head and rubbed Wen Qingzhi's head.

"Wen Qingzhi, not everyone in this world is born without a conscience."

"The Wen family has been loyal and righteous for generations, guarding the Beiming border. Not everyone forgets their contributions."

He spoke bluntly, but Wen Qingzhi didn't believe it.

After all, he and that person are brothers. Even if he wants to help the Wen family, he will not break up with that person for the Wen family.

Rather than saying that it was for the Wen family, it would be more accurate to say that Feng Yunxiao might have ulterior motives and wanted to use the Wen family affairs to achieve his own goals.

"It's too late for you to say this now, Your Highness."

She dodged Feng Junxiao's palm and stood up to the side. "It's getting late. Please go back, Regent."

She didn't know when it started, but she no longer felt disgusted by Feng Junxiao's touch.

She thought, is it because this person has always been so rude that she is used to it?

Feng Junxiao didn't move, just stood there, looking at her straight.

Wen Qingzhi felt the gaze coming from above her head and turned away uncomfortably.

"Why don't you leave?"

He questioned again.

Feng Junxiao raised his shoulders and shook them twice, "I'm injured, quite seriously."

After saying that, he tore off his ruby-encrusted waist belt in front of Wen Qingzhi and threw it on the ground like garbage.

"..."

Wen Qingzhi took two steps back and asked in surprise, "What are you...doing?"

Seeing Feng Junxiao taking off only his underwear, his gorgeous clothes were scattered at his feet.

"stop!"

Wen Qingzhi called him and was very angry.

How can there be people who feel justified in doing anything?

Is he making himself addicted?

Wen Qingzhi interrupted him while he was taking off his clothes and said, "Go find Xiao Chang and ask him to help you."

"Why?"

"It's the middle of the night, and it's inappropriate for men and women to be different."

Feng Yunxiao knew at a glance that she was lying, so he took off his underwear and exposed the place where he was injured.

The wound was about ten centimeters long, and was covered in blood, oozing out.

Wen Qingzhi glanced at the turned-over inner garment, which was covered in blood stains and skin tissue.

They must have been glued together before, and Feng Yunxiao pulled them apart again with force.

"Is there a difference between men and women?"

Feng Yunxiao walked towards her step by step, "When you made my subordinates strip down to their underwear, you didn't think about this, did you?"

"I am afraid of pain. Chang Baicao has rough hands and feet. What if he hurts me?"

Facing the wall of flesh in front of her, Wen Qingzhi said, "Xiao Chang is very profitable and won't hurt you."

Although it was a cold winter, Wen Qingzhi felt a slight heat on her face.

"The medicine box is not here with me. You still have to go find Xiao Chang."

She didn't want to treat Feng Junxiao's wound, she didn't want to do that from the bottom of her heart.

"Why do you want to push me out so much?"

Feng Junxiao's words were so confusing that Wen Qingzhi subconsciously found an excuse, "I don't want to pay for the treatment."

Feng Junxiao never thought that this would be the reason.

He laughed angrily.

"I will give you that jade pendant. No matter where you are, as long as you have my influence, you can get the silver."

Wen Qingzhi looked at him suspiciously, "You're giving me something so valuable?"

Feng Junxiao was speechless, a flaw appeared on his previously calm face. He turned his head away uncomfortably, "If you don't want it, give it back."

This was the first time Wen Qingzhi saw him look awkward.

"Why would you want to take something back after giving it to someone else?"

As she said that, she turned around and took out her medicine box from under the bed, "Sit down."

The moment Feng Junxiao saw the medicine box, his face instantly darkened. "Didn't you say it was missing?"

Wen Qingzhi didn't even blush as she said, "I suddenly remembered that I have some spare medicine here, but it's just that it's not complete."

She narrowed her eyes and smiled slyly like a little fox, "Sit down."

Feng Junxiao clenched his fists and found a place to sit down.

Wen Qingzhi went out and asked the people guarding outside to bring warm water to clean his wound first, then debride it, and then carry out follow-up treatment and suture.

"How did you get hurt?"

He has been on the city wall the entire time and should not have participated in the battle. How could he have been injured like this?

The wound was obviously caused by a sharp weapon, and it was covered with...rust?
