Jealous men are the most aggressive, but also the easiest to coax.

A bowl of soup and a few chopsticks of vegetables were enough to make the two men look relaxed, and then they turned around and served Xu Junjun and Jiang Wumei.

After dinner, Xu Junjun suggested going for a walk in the street to help digest the food, but Jiang Wumei refused because she knew that this place was deserted and few people went out at night.

Xu Junjun listened to Jiang Wumei very much. When she said she couldn't go, Xu Junjun gave up and honestly accompanied Jiang Wumei around the yard.

Xiao Tong and Jun Xiaochen needed to deal with urgent letters sent from various places, so Jiang Wumei walked around the courtyard with Xu Junjun to look at the unique style of the city wall.

There is a lot of wind and sand in the Guancheng area, and the houses are built very differently from those in the prosperous areas of the capital.

Xu Junjun leaned over the eaves and took a look, then excitedly told Jiang Wumei about the differences.

Jiang Wumei listened to her chattering patiently, and when she said she was tired, she even thoughtfully asked someone to bring her some sugar water to moisten her throat.

Xu Junjun held the bowl of sweet water and smiled so hard that her teeth were visible. She and Jiang Wumei shared the whole bowl of sweet water intimately.

After a night's rest, the next morning, this small courtyard welcomed an ancient man.

At that time, Jiang Wumei was drinking medicine in the house with her eyes lowered. Just after she finished half a bowl, her vision darkened, and then a familiar figure knelt down in front of her with a thud.

"My lady, I have finally found you.

You have suffered during this period."

The person came forward a few steps on his knees. Jiang Wumei put down the medicine bowl and took a look. It was indeed Qingzhi with red and swollen eyes from crying.

Looking at the bandages wrapped around her legs, Jiang Wumei was helpless:

"I am fine now, but as for you, didn't I tell them to let you rest and return to the capital directly?

Your leg injury hasn't healed yet, why did you come to Guancheng?"

On the night she and Junjun had the accident, Qingzhi was also injured in the leg by the assassins in the next room.

If the Qilin Guards had not arrived in time, both of her legs would have been chopped off by the assassin.

After Jiang Wumei was rescued and learned about this, she had already asked Chen Yu to pass on a message, ordering the Qilin Guard to take good care of Qingzhi and send him back to the capital safely.

Unexpectedly, Qingzhi not only did not stay there to recuperate, but instead dragged his injured leg to come thousands of miles to find her.

This feeling made Jiang Wumei feel moved.

"I'm fine. I was really worried about you, so I came here."

Qingzhi's eyes were about to tear up. She reached out and boldly grasped Jiang Wumei's wrist to examine it carefully. The moment she saw it, tears immediately fell from her eyes.

"It's all my fault. If I had been in the room serving you and Miss Xu, you wouldn't have been injured so badly."

Jiang Wumei was helpless. She wanted to say that if you were in the room that night and the three of them were robbed, you might be killed like a chicken by Xiao Luoling as soon as you saw him, in order to scare her and Junjun.

Qingzhi should be thankful that she escaped.

However, Jiang Wumei did not say these words explicitly. Qingzhi was already crying miserably, and if she said anything more, it would hurt her heart.

"Okay, get up quickly. Junjun should be awake by now. Find a room to clean up first. When she comes over later, you can let her check your legs."

After crying for a while, Qingzhi calmed down. When Jiang Wumei spoke, she wiped her tears and stood up:

"Yes, Madam. I will go back to my room to change my clothes and then come to serve you."

Jiang Wumei nodded, and after Qingzhi left, she sent someone to call the Qilin Guard who brought Qingzhi here.

When the Qilin Guard came and saw Jiang Wumei asking questions, he told her everything that happened after the inn was robbed.

Jiang Wumei knew the whole situation and asked the Qilin Guard to leave.

When Xu Junjun woke up in the morning, she fled from the bed, fearing that if she was a step late, she would be bullied by Jun Xiaochen.

Fortunately, today, Jun Xiaochen showed mercy and let her go. When Xu Junjun ran to Jiang Wumei, she was unusually energetic and did not grit her teeth and call men dogs.

"Niao Niao, Niao Niao, let's go for a walk on the street and see if there is anything interesting in this city."

From a distance, Jiang Wumei could hear Xu Junjun's bright and lively voice.

Jiang Wumei leaned her head out from the window, bathed in the morning glow, and smiled at Xu Junjun with curved eyes. Her face was as radiant as a lotus in the morning sun, sparkling and shining. Xu Junjun, who walked into the yard, was startled for a moment, and then she cried out to the sky, praising Jiang Wumei for her authoritative appearance. She, a woman, was almost bewitched by the sight of her.

Xu Junjun's praise was always explicit and straightforward. Jiang Wumei was amused by her. She turned around from the window and asked someone to come in quickly.

Xu Junjun ran into the house and was surprised to find Qingzhi there.

"Qingzhi, when did you arrive?

How come I don’t know anything about this?”

Qingzhi changed into clean clothes, and her black hair was braided into a long braid that fell in front of her chest. She looked clean and refreshed.

Facing Xu Junjun's question, Qingzhi hurriedly bowed to her and explained with a smile:

"Princess, I have only been here for an hour and haven't had time to pay my respects to you yet."

Xu Junjun waved her hands as if she couldn't stand it anymore:

“Oh my god, please don’t call me princess.

You're making me feel so embarrassed, you should just call me Miss Xu.

At least it sounds better and doesn’t give me goose bumps on my arms.”

Jiang Wumei and Qingzhi laughed together:

"Okay, stop teasing her.

It's just right that you came over. Qingzhi's leg injury is quite serious, and he has been traveling a lot during this period, so the wound has not healed yet.

Please check on her and see if she is okay."

Qingzhi said hurriedly:

"My lady, my injuries are not a big deal. You should have breakfast with Miss Xu first."

"Oh, why are you in such a hurry to eat?

Come on, sit on the chair and I'll take a look at it for you."

Xu Junjun pushed Qingzhi to sit on the chair without saying a word, and squatted down to lift her trouser legs despite her objections.

There is a difference between high and low, Qingzhi was flattered and subconsciously wanted to retract her legs, but Xu Junjun held her down and she could not move.

"Don't move, let me take a closer look.

If the wound becomes festered, you will suffer.

Don’t cry and yell when the time comes.”

Xu Junjun spoke fiercely but moved cautiously with his hands. He untied the bandage, looked at the wound carefully, pressed a few places with his hands and asked Qingzhi if it hurt.

After getting the answer, Xu Junjun rolled up his trouser legs and asked someone to prepare hot water and get the medicine.

"How is it, is it serious?"

"It's okay, it's not a big deal.

Although the injury was serious, the doctor in front treated it very well. Apart from the wound rupturing due to traveling too fast, the recovery is pretty good."

After Xu Junjun said this, Jiang Wumei felt relieved and turned to look at Qingzhi, who was feeling uneasy.

"You don't need to come here to serve me these few days. Rest well in the house. When your injuries are better, we will set off to return to Beijing."

Qingzhi was anxious:

“My lady, you don’t have to take special care of me.

Even if we have to hurry on our way, I can still do it."

Xu Junjun was so disappointed with Qingzhi that he poked her on the forehead:

"Why are you being so strong?

If you don't take care of your legs anymore, even if they heal, they will still hurt when it rains.

Niao Niao, this is for your own good, do you know that? "

Qingzhi certainly knew this, but she felt that she could not bear such special care from her master.

This time she held back, but the empress not only did not blame her, but also took such good care of her, which really made her ashamed.

Seeing Qingzhi's thoughts, Xu Junjun said carelessly:

"I really don't understand what you're blaming yourself for.

It's not your fault that you got hurt this time.

You don't know martial arts, nor do you know how to use hidden weapons. It's none of your business that Niaoniao and I were kidnapped.

What's the point of blaming yourself?

If I were you, I would eat and drink, recuperate, and then work hard for Niao Niao after I am healed. This is the professional quality that a worker should possess.

You think so much all day long, aren't you just asking for trouble?"

Xu Junjun's retort made Qingzhi's face even redder.

"Okay, if you keep talking, the green branches will start to smoke."

With a joke, Jiang Wumei came to Qingzhi's rescue and agreed with what Xu Junjun had just said:

"Junjun is right, don't feel too burdened.

Junjun will change your medicine later, then you can go back to your room and rest. Don't let your mind wander."
