Chapter 42: Punishment in Her Place
She shook her head and was about to leave, when she heard someone talking.
"Please rest assured, the villain's actions this time are unaware, and all of them are blamed on Bai Wushuang, and now she is isolated in the barracks, even if there is any suspicion, there is no evidence."
"That's good, this is your reward, remember to keep your mouth shut, otherwise, you can't afford the consequences!"
"Yes, yes, the villain knows......"
Listening to their conversation, Bai Wushuang already understood that this was a trap set by the emperor, in order to make Chi Jingyu lose her military heart, let her be excluded in the military camp, and make their lives difficult for both of them......
Bai Wushuang pursed his lips and quietly moved his body, only to hear a different voice.
When I got closer, I heard the sound of the whip breaking through the air and hitting the flesh, which was particularly frightening in this empty and quiet environment.
Could it be Chi Jingyu?
Her heart was beating unusually fast and she walked in the direction of the source, blocking her figure with branches along the way.
When he got closer, he saw that not far away, Chi Jingyu was kneeling on the ground in a black robe, and the guards on the side were whipping him hard.
I don't know how much I have been beaten, Chi Jingyu's clothes are completely cord-shaped, and the color of the black clothes can't be seen, but Bai Wushuang knows how thick the blood is on the clothes, even though Chi Jingyu's face is pale, he doesn't say a word.
Bai Wushuang was so far away that he seemed to be able to smell the smell of blood wafting through the air.
She covered her mouth to prevent herself from crying, she knew that Chi Jingyu would not want to see him like this.
Whip after whip, Chi Jingyu never said a word, and she saw his iron and blood in her eyes.
The whip struck him, but it was like hitting her heart, adding one wound after another to her heart.
She wanted to go out and explain that all this was a conspiracy of the emperor, but she couldn't.
In this era when the imperial power rules everything, no one will believe what she says, and even if someone does, it will not help...... If she goes out now, it will only make matters worse and cause him more trouble.
Bean-sized tears rolled down, drop after drop, in the dirt at Bai Wushuang's feet.
She was not a fragile person, but her heart ached at this time.
A gust of wind passed, and the night wind appeared in front of her, she was startled, but she didn't make too many movements, for fear of attracting Chi Jingyu's attention.
Night Wind sighed and said softly, "Madam, you still saw it."
"What do you mean?"
"The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, the general knows that his wife is innocent, but there is no evidence, and he can't break the rules, otherwise how can the general serve the public, the general doesn't want his wife to suffer from this flesh and skin, so he bears this criminal law for his wife, and it is double ......"
When Bai Wushuang heard this, he couldn't hold back any longer, and immediately burst into tears, biting his lip to prevent himself from making a sound.
It turned out that he was being punished on her behalf......
Nightwind sighed, unable to say anything comforting.
"Madam, go back first, the general doesn't want you to see him like this."
Bai Wushuang walked back to Chi Jingyu's tent in despair, ignoring the surprised eyes of the guards at the door, and went in by himself.
The two guards were about to say something, but when they saw the night breeze behind her, they thought about it and shut up.
Lord Nightwind acquiesced, and it would be useless for the two of them to say anything, Lord Nightwind knew it, and the general must have agreed.
The two exchanged a look, and seeing such a thought in each other's eyes, they nodded, and continued to guard.
Bai Wushuang entered the tent and sat on the bed in a daze, thinking that Chi Jingyu was being punished on her behalf, his heart ached.
She put her hand on her chest and felt her heart worrying and angry for him, could this be what they call love?
She might be in love with him, right? It hurts to see him scarred, rejoices for him when he is happy, rejoices for him, and grieves for him......
I don't know how long it took, Chi Jingyu still didn't come back, and Bai Wushuang was anxious.
Bai Wushuang walked out of the door and saw Chi Jingyu walking towards the other tent, enduring the pain, walking step by step with difficulty but extremely upright.
She endured the pain in her heart, sat in front of the mirror to wipe the tears off her face, and put on makeup to make herself look less haggard.
After looking at it several more times to make sure he couldn't see it, Bai Wushuang rushed to find him.
When she arrived at the door, she heard the sound of rummaging through the tent, she raised her eyebrows, and was about to walk in, when a figure walked out towards the door.
Chi Jingyu's bony fingers gently opened the tent, and at that moment, Bai Wushuang's heart was beating like thunder, and she desperately wanted to confirm whether he was okay.
Chi Jingyu walked out and smiled at her soothingly: "Everything has been dealt with."
Bai Wushuang's eyes were sour, he couldn't hold back the desire to cry, and responded lightly: "Well, let's go in."
Holding his hand, the two sat down in chairs.
"Why are you here so late?"
"I'll come and see your ......"
Chi Jingyu chuckled: "Look at what I'm doing, Madam is finished reading it now, can I go back and rest?"
"Not enough, not enough."
She looked fixedly at his face, which was the eyes, nose, and mouth of her love......
Chi Jingyu was a little embarrassed by Bai Wushuang, and looked away a little uncontrollably.
Knowing that he was shy, Bai Wushuang rarely didn't laugh at him.
For a moment, the silence in the tent could be heard as a pin dropped......
Chi Jingyu coughed lightly, and was about to break the embarrassment, but a voice came from outside the door.
"General, there is a war reward!"
"Enter."
"Then I'll go back first."
Bai Wushuang knew that the important affairs of the army were not something she could participate in, and he also knew that she couldn't help here at all.
Chi Jingyu glanced at her apologetically: "Well, pay attention to safety and rest early."
"Hmm."
Bai Wushuang looked at him reluctantly a few times, and then he was about to leave, passing by Captain Li who came in.
The visitor hurried by, glancing at Bai Wushuang.
Bai Wushuang didn't care, her heart was heavy, she didn't want to break Chi Jingyu's injury just now, she knew that he was afraid that she would worry, but she couldn't rest assured, and her steps were slow.
When he walked to the door, he couldn't help but look back at him again, but he caught a glimpse of a pile of bloody bandages in the corner, and thought that the sound of the noise in the tent when he first came in was the sound of him hurrying to clean up these things.
Bai Wushuang's heart suddenly ached, and he forced down the sourness and walked out quickly.
Captain Li saw Bai Wushuang walk out, so he asked, "General, how is your injury?"
"Out of the way." Chi Jingyu thought for a while and said, "Don't let her know about this matter."
Captain Li sighed: "Yes, our spies have already investigated the terrain of Loulan."
"Well, put the map down, I'll study it today and determine the battle plan."
"Yes."
……
After Bai Wushuang left Chi Jingyu's tent, he plunged into the small kitchen.
When she was fighting on the march and the kitchen was limited, she tried her best to make a bowl of porridge that nourished her blood and qi.
When the conversation between the two was almost the same, she went to Chi Jingyu with porridge.
When she arrived at the door of the tent, there was indeed no sound of conversation inside, and Bai Wushuang still lingered at the door several times, not knowing why she just didn't dare to go in, didn't dare to see his eyes.
Until she heard a "hiss" inside, she felt a little panicked and immediately walked in.
As soon as I entered, I saw Chi Jingyu shirtless, struggling to apply medicine to himself.
She knew that Chi Jingyu didn't like other people's touches, but seeing that he always endured without saying a word, silently bearing everything, a nameless fire suddenly burned in her heart, and she angrily threw the porridge in her hand to the ground.
Chi Jingyu knew that someone had come in, but he didn't expect it to be Bai Wushuang.
He thought that Bai Wushuang had just left and would not come back tonight, but he didn't expect it......
Looking at Bai Wushuang's angry eyes, he looked a little embarrassed: "Why are you here?"
Bai Wushuang lowered his head and walked over, avoiding his wounds, holding him carefully, burying his head in his shoulders, but his hands did not dare to touch his wounds.
"You fool, do you know how worried I am about you? Why are you so stupid? ”
Hearing this, Chi Jingyu sighed: "I want to protect you, you are my wife, I naturally want to protect you."
Bai Wushuang cried out again, tears falling on his shoulders, cold and wet.
Chi Jingyu's body stiffened suddenly, Bai Wushuang was a strong person, he had never seen her tears, and now crying for him, he couldn't tell whether it was sweet or more sour in his heart.
He hoped that she could be happy every day, even if she was a heartless little fool, it was better than crying in his arms now.
Patting her on the back, Chi Jingyu comforted her softly: "Okay, don't cry, I'm fine."
Bai Wushuang stared at a pair of red eyes, like a red-eyed rabbit, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Does it still hurt?"
Chi Jingyu chuckled: "It doesn't hurt anymore."
"Really?"
"Hmm."
"It's the puppy who lied to me."
"Then you will marry the dog and follow the dog."
"No matter, I'll rely on you anyway."
"Madame will always rely on me."
"Don't be so stupid in the future, we will bear things together."
"Okay."
"Chi Jingyu ......"
"Huh?"
"I love you......"
"Me ...... too"
Bai Wushuang nestled in his arms, not daring to make too many movements, for fear that his wounds would be torn.
Smelling the cold smell on his body, she had never felt so relieved since she crossed over to now.
She knows that this man is her harbor, her dependence, and the docking port of her life's love.
Since the conversation and confession after that day, Bai Wushuang has been like a little girl in love every day, with a smile on her face all the time.
Chi Jingyu is not exaggerating, but the radiation of the freezing rays has dropped a lot.
Bai Wushuang explained to Chi Jingyu the simplicity of misdiagnosing Liu Ran before.
Chi Jingyu frowned, that person was still unwilling to let him go.
Obviously, he fell into the Acacia Gu, turning a general into a wasted person who couldn't practice martial arts, and he was still not at ease......
Chi Jingyu hugged Bai Wushuang into his arms, and his voice was low: "Do you have to be careful about everything in the future?"
"Hmm."
It has been a long time since that incident, and Chi Jingyu has also been punished on her behalf, but everyone's eyes are still full of suspicion and vigilance when they look at her.
Bai Wushuang didn't care, he still did his own thing every day, ignoring their discussions.
