Chapter 218 Don’t Disturb Her
Chapter 218 Don’t Disturb Her
"Yes, it's me." Zhou Yimo's voice came from behind, very close.
Li Qingqing was very embarrassed, and her first reaction was to get the clothes beside her.
She wasn't that familiar with him yet!
Zhou Yimo noticed that she was about to move and quickly reminded her, "Don't move. I'm applying the ointment. Just bear with it for a while."
It was really inconvenient to apply the medicine with one hand. He was already very careful. If he moved again, he would inevitably hit the wound and hurt her again.
Zhou Yimo was worried that his wife would move around, so he put his left hand on her left shoulder while speaking.
The moment his palm pressed down on her left shoulder, Li Qingqing's body stiffened, and she dared not move again for some unknown reason.
But that hand showed no intention of leaving, and just rested there lightly. The warmth from the palm of her hand strangely made her ears feel hot.
"I, I will do it myself..."
"You can't reach it," Zhou Yimo said comfortingly, without even raising his head. Seeing her muscles tense, he assumed she was still in severe pain.
"I'll be careful. If it hurts, don't force it. You can bite my hand."
Li Qingqing: "..."
The most painful moment was when I used the alcohol to disinfect the head. I had just experienced it, and now it doesn’t hurt as much as before.
It was just that the injury was on her back, so she really couldn't reach it. She originally wanted to ask Yun Su to help, but Zhou Yimo sent Yun Su away.
When she thought about how miserable Zhou Yimo had seen her just now, her face actually started to get hot.
After being married for so long, they have barely even touched hands.
Now he was touching her body when she was at her most embarrassed. She felt extremely embarrassed just thinking about it.
Feeling the cautious tenderness coming from the fingertips touching her back, Li Qingqing tried to divert her attention.
"How's the evidence collection going?"
Zhou Yimo was unaware of Li Qingqing's discomfort at the moment, as he was concentrating on applying the ointment.
This ointment was the same one he had used on Xie Xuan'an last time. It would not leave any scars after the wound healed, so he applied it very carefully.
Hearing Li Qingqing's question, he responded,
"The cup that Lord Wei used to poison General Zhao has been found, but the Protectorate has not collected any suspicious evidence."
"Lord Wei will not easily leave any disadvantageous handle for himself,"
Li Qingqing thought about what happened at the training ground. She then instructed, "General Zhao needs to send more shadow guards to guard the place for the next few days to prevent him from taking the opportunity to kill us."
"I understand." Zhou Yimo replied. The shadow guard had already informed him of the real-time situation on the training ground.
Li Qingqing and Li Feng simultaneously identified Lord Wei in front of everyone. Although this was a reason to put him under house arrest temporarily, it also alerted the enemy. There was no guarantee that he would not send people to destroy any evidence that was unfavorable to him.
"If we get any news from the imperial court, have Qingfeng Pavilion do everything possible to expedite the imperial envoy's journey and get him there sooner!"
Li Qingqing thought about the important things and ignored the discomfort in her heart for a moment. She just wanted to avenge herself as soon as possible.
As her lifelong enemy, Wei Duhu was "honored" to become her first target.
"I understand." Zhou Yimo nodded and told,
"Yesterday, we sent Shadow Guards to the Qi'an Kingdom through the small path that Yunwu had previously blocked. Calculating the time, I think they should be arriving soon."
"Okay." Li Qingqing nodded and asked, "Did Censor Song send shadow guards to keep an eye on him?"
I don’t know how much of her conversation with General Zhao yesterday was heard by Censor Song. At such a critical moment, Censor Song must not be allowed to cause trouble.
Of course, without any evidence, she did not regard Censor Song as an enemy who framed her.
Moreover, Censor Song is still brooding over the letter that was only sent to a friend, and even he himself does not believe that he framed her.
It is conceivable that in this matter of harming her, Censor Song must have been part of the conspiracy.
"We've sent shadow guards to follow him. Yesterday, after Censor Song returned, he had contact with Deputy General Xu in the evening. Since then, he has not had any contact with anyone."
Zhou Yimo answered affirmatively, but said with some doubt,
"What's puzzling is that he secretly went to dig a grave this morning."
Li Qingqing: "..."
She remembered that Censor Song had "disappeared" once, and she found him in front of that tomb. At that time, Censor Song said that it was the general's cenotaph.
Zhou Yimo arrived at the border city later, so he was not aware of this matter.
Li Qingqing was a little embarrassed. She was too embarrassed to say that Censor Song was actually digging his own grave...
As she was hesitating, the hand on her left shoulder was suddenly withdrawn, and then a bunch of clothes was stuffed in front of her.
Li Qingqing looked up in surprise.
But she saw Zhou Yimo standing in front of her without her knowing when. His face was flushed, as if he had done something wrong.
Seeing her looking at him, Zhou Yimo was a little flustered. He seemed to be choked by saliva in a hurry. He quickly turned his back to her and a series of coughs followed.
Li Qingqing was stunned for a few seconds, then looked down and her face suddenly turned red.
At this moment, she felt extremely embarrassed and really wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into!
Seeing that his back was facing her, Li Qingqing quickly grabbed a shirt and put it on, but because she moved too quickly, it affected the wounds all over her body, and she couldn't help but groan.
"What's wrong with you!" Zhou Yimo heard something unusual behind her and quickly turned around, only then realizing that her wound was hurt.
Zhou Yimo was extremely annoyed and wanted to punch himself a few times. He was silent for a moment, then said, "Sorry——"
"It's okay." Li Qingqing took a deep breath, "You go out first."
"The knife wound in the ribs has not been bandaged yet, let me come-"
"No need, I can do it myself." Li Qingqing immediately refused. She raised her hand to take the ointment on the table, but her hand was shaking violently.
Zhou Yimo was anxious and quickly picked up the ointment. He quickly half-knelt in front of Li Qingqing and said stubbornly, "Madam, let me do it."
This height allowed him to apply medicine to the wound better, but he could only look up slightly when looking at Li Qingqing.
The two looked at each other. Li Qingqing stared at him for two seconds, then turned away awkwardly.
The atmosphere in the room was a little awkward. Seeing that Li Qingqing didn't refuse anymore, Zhou Yimo immediately started applying medicine to the wound.
The two of them were very close, so close that Li Qingqing could hear his breathing, and so close that she could see the top of his head by lowering her eyes.
When bandaging the wound with gauze, Zhou Yimo was worried about touching the wound on her back, so he stood up, put his arms around her waist, and began to wrap the bandage.
This looked a bit like a hug. Li Qingqing held her breath slightly, her body stiff and not daring to move, but her heart was beating uncontrollably.
It felt like a long time had passed before Zhou Yimo finally tied the belt.
He paused slightly and looked at Li Qingqing, "I, I'll help you rest—"
"Okay." Li Qingqing felt relieved.
When he walked out of the room, Zhou Yimo felt relieved. For some reason, he was really panicked just now.
When he was about to leave the hospital, Zhou Yimo saw Bai Ye walking towards him slowly, dragging his weak body.
"Sir Zhou, how is the master doing now?" Bai Ye saluted respectfully, his usually expressionless face now full of worry.
Zhou Yimo stared at Bai Ye, and suddenly became angry when he thought of the scene when he was treating his wife just now.
He shouldn't have treated Bai Ye properly just now!
If Bai Ye had not wanted to assassinate Lord Wei for no reason, my lady would not have to suffer such a crime.
He remembered what Bai Ye had said, "Willing to be loyal to her for the rest of my life?"
Is this how you show your loyalty?
My wife was almost killed by his filial piety!
"She's not feeling well right now! If it weren't for you—" Zhou Yimo paused, "Don't bother her!"
After saying this, he flicked his sleeves and left in a hurry.
He is a man of letters and has never been ashamed to speak ill of others.
If he doesn't leave, he will break his vow!
