Each world be

Chapter 151 The Loyal Guardian of Bai Yueguang Jin 26

At this time, the girl's eyes were red and swollen, with tears in their eyes, her nose was red due to difficulty breathing, and her makeup was smudged by her tears. She looked both embarrassed and pitiful.

Seeing that it was him, Shi Qing turned her head away, and her thick eyelashes drooped, hiding all her emotions.

Su Lanqing sneered, with a hint of hostility flashing in his eyes. He suddenly bent down and grabbed Shi Qing's chin.

"Shen Zhiqing, look carefully, this is the Su family, and you belong to me, Su Lanqing."

Her chin was suddenly pinched by him, and a trace of pain flashed across her expression. "I am who I am. I don't belong to anyone else."

Even though her face was in disarray, there was still stubbornness in her eyes that made people want to destroy her.

Su Lanqing licked the back of his gums, and the corners of his mouth curled up, "Unfortunately, this is the fact. Now everyone knows that Shen Zhiqing is my wife, and will be for life."

Knowing that it was useless to say more to him, Shi Qing simply closed his eyes.

Seeing her frowning face, Su Lanqing's malice grew. He raised his voice in a light tone, "You are not still waiting for that person, are you? Xue Zhao? I am right, am I not."

The eyelashes of the person in front of him trembled suddenly, but those eyes still rejected him. Su Lanqing said slowly:

"He's already dead. Since you can't die with him, who are you trying to show me by pretending to reject me? You're a young lady from an aristocratic family, but you have to fall in love with a lowly servant. What do you want? Hmm?"

The last time, he suddenly exerted great force, causing Shi Qing's jaw to hurt. He opened his eyes quickly, "Since you don't like me, why do you have to do this?"

Su Lanqing finally let go and slowly wiped his fingers, "I don't like you. But you used to be my fiancée, and now you are my wife. No one can peek at you or defile you. Otherwise, I will make him pay the price."

After saying those harsh words, he ignored Shi Qing and walked out directly. At the end, he turned back and smiled gently: "I will make you belong to me completely."

As soon as he left, Qiuyue walked in immediately. Seeing the bright red fingerprints on Shi Qing's chin, she choked up and said, "Miss, how could the uncle do this to you..."

Shi Qing's brows seemed to be furrowed, and his eyes were filled with sorrow. "I'm fine."

As she said this, she covered her heart with her hands, and the smile on her lips became extremely bitter.

Qiuyue felt extremely distressed, and quickly gave her the medicine she had with her, then took off the golden pearl phoenix hairpin on one of her hair and changed her clothes.

After a busy period, Shi Qing lay down. She looked at Qiuyue with tears in her eyes and said softly, "Qiuyue, thank you for your hard work."

Qiuyue sat beside her and tucked the quilt in. "Miss, Qiuyue is not miserable."

She turned around, wiped her tears, and sniffed, "Just think of it as for the sake of the lady and the young master. The young lady must get better too."

Shi Qing closed his eyes and turned his head away, "Qiuyue, go and rest first."

She looked extremely sad, like a withered lotus in autumn, standing withered in the wind, perhaps being blown down by the wind one day. Qiuyue couldn't bear to watch any longer, and after hesitating for a moment, she retreated.

Although tonight is the wedding night, Su Lanqing did not rest here.

After the second day, Shi Qing's illness recurred. When Su's father and mother found out, they came to see him for a few days at first. But after hearing the doctor say that the disease might be contagious, they just asked the servants to take care of him.

If Su Lanqing was at home, he would come every day. He returned to his previous gentleness and cared for her considerately and tenderly, and was very careful not to let her bump into anything.

Even Qiuyue doubted her previous judgment. She just thought that the brother-in-law had a conflict with the young lady when he got married and was angry for a moment.

Therefore, Qiuyue would occasionally advise Shi Qing to let go of her worries and take good care of her health.

After the Shen family found out, they came to visit and persuade him. Shi Qing remained silent every time, with a gentle and well-behaved face, but his condition became more and more serious.

Bowls of medicine were delivered to the room one after another, but the situation did not improve at all.

After more than ten days, the gloomy and cold sky in the capital was finally replaced by a clear blue sky.

Qiuyue opened the window and saw the reflection of flowers outside the courtyard, golden willows swaying in the wind, birds singing, and a bright spring scene.

"Miss, the weather is really warm today." Qiuyue turned around excitedly, "I'll accompany you outside to relax."

Shi Qing leaned on the bed with one hand, her face was much rosier than usual. She looked out the window at the spring scenery, her eyebrows slightly bent, and she got out of bed.

"No need, just watch here."

She casually put on a piece of clothing, walked lightly to the window, and saw this scenery. Her autumn eyes were gradually filled with a few traces of nostalgic memories.

"Fortunately, we saw the peach blossoms in Jinyun Temple last year." Her voice was very light and disappeared in the wind in an instant.

Qiuyue didn't really hear it, she just caught the word "peach blossom", and said excitedly: "When the young lady is well again, the flowers in the mansion will bloom. Then Qiuyue will accompany the young lady to appreciate the flowers."

Shi Qing smiled faintly and said nothing.

She was thin, like a weeping willow, and from a distance her entire body was framed within the neat window.

But her facial expression was extremely calm, like an invisible spring breeze that everyone could feel but no one could grasp.

Because no one knows where it will stop and where it will fall, whether it likes this peony or that golden willow, whether it loves the bustling streets of the capital or is more attached to the snowy desert in the northwest.

The wind gently and lingeringly wrapped around the girl's fingertips and hair, taking away all her sorrow and longing, concern and affection, and giving them to another man who came from afar.

On this day, the Northwest Army returned to Beijing in triumph. People came out from all directions to welcome them, bringing their children with them. For a moment, the streets were crowded with people and the atmosphere was bustling.

The soldiers stopped the crowd on both sides of the street to clear the way for the returning soldiers. People all leaned towards the city gate. Soon, the sound of horse hooves came over, and the first thing that caught their eyes was the high-flying flags, on which the magnificent and bright Chinese character "宸" was reflected, swaying in the wind.

Next, a group of armored generals rode on fine horses and walked in with great grace. Behind them were two neat rows of soldiers, all holding red cherry spears, looking very imposing.

Walking in front was Zhao Kan, and a little behind was Xue Zhao. He sat upright on his horse, his body straight and firm, his eyebrows relaxed, and a smile on his lips, looking very proud and happy.

He stared at the crowd below with his burning eyes, trying to find the girl he had been thinking about day and night.

However, he didn't know whether the crowd was too crowded or the person was not there, so he never saw him. From a distance, he seemed to hear a few sad cries and the mournful sound of suona in the air.

He tilted his head and asked, "What happened? Why is there the sound of suona?"

"What bad luck." The official who was waiting for them cursed in a low voice and explained to Xue Zhao, "The young lady of the Su family passed away, and they are offering condolences right now."

Hearing this, Xue Zhao withdrew his thoughts nonchalantly and looked forward to meeting Shi Qing again.

Soon, the officials led them to the main hall.

At this time, all civil and military officials stood in the court, and sitting high on the throne was the majestic emperor of the royal family.

"Your Highness, I, Zhao Kan, pay my respects to His Majesty. Long live the emperor!"

Zhao Kan, who was standing by, tugged at Xue Zhao's clothes. Xue Zhao came to his senses and immediately knelt down, saying in a loud and powerful voice, "I am General Xue Zhao, and I pay my respects to His Majesty. Long live the emperor!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the prime minister standing in front of the officials was shocked. He lowered his head and glanced at the person kneeling in the hall.

The emperor raised his hand and said, "Please stand up, my dear minister."

Zhao Kan stood up and first reported the war in the northwest. After several battles, the Hu people's cavalry was defeated, and their leaders were beaten and fled, all of them were so scared that they retreated back to the grassland with their tails between their legs. In his words, he mentioned that it was Xue Zhao's strategy that contributed to the victory.

The Hu people had been harassing the border for many years, and Dachen had been dissatisfied with him for a long time.

Sure enough, the emperor was very pleased after hearing this. He first rewarded the meritorious soldiers. Finally, he looked at the person in the middle.

"General Xue is really a young and promising man with outstanding military achievements."

The appearance of General Xue indicated his reward.

Xue Zhao knelt on the ground respectfully, "Your Majesty, I have a favor to ask."

"Oh? What does General Xue want?"

"I am willing to use all my military achievements to marry the second young lady of the Shen family. I beg Your Majesty to grant my wish."

Everyone in the hall looked at him with gossipy eyes.

The emperor was also obviously stunned for a moment, and his tone became more interesting, "I wonder which second daughter of the Shen family General Xue is seeking to marry?"

Xue Zhao half raised his eyes and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, what I want is the daughter of the Prime Minister, the second young lady of the Shen family, Shen Zhiqing."

For a moment, all civil and military officials were silent.
