Rebirth: The paranoid war king was controlled by the crazy female protagonist

"Yu'er, are you done?" Seeing her walk into the study, he put down the book in his hand.

"Okay, why haven't I seen Wen Shu?" He hasn't seen Wen Shu since he came out of the room. He must have been worried last night.

"He will be back soon." He sent Wen Shu away early in the morning, otherwise she would have kept asking to see her.

In a blink of an eye, he noticed her swollen lips and the wound on them. A delicate blush lingered on her lips, and the guilt and pain were tied around his heart like a silk thread.

Just as he was about to get up to check, he heard Wen Shu's anxious voice coming from outside.

"Brother! Is Qingyu up?" Xiao Wenshu ran into the house and finally saw her getting up.

She immediately smiled and looked at him, "Wen Shu! I was looking for you."

"Qing Yu, you finally woke up."

"Are you okay...what's wrong with your mouth?" Xiao Wenshu was about to ask when he was startled and his eyes instantly locked on her injured lips.

"Hmm..." Because Wen Shu was standing in front of her, she couldn't see Xiao Yanqing's expression.

Before she could respond, Xiao Wenshu leaned down to check the wound on her red lips, then turned back to look at his brother hesitantly.

Suddenly, he understood something and lowered his voice, "Qing Yu, did my brother hit you?!"

"Cough cough!" Xiao Yanqing, who was drinking tea, choked when he heard this.

He cleared his throat, "Do you think I can't hear you?"

"Brother! No matter how many mistakes Qingyu makes, you can't..."

Seeing that the situation was not good, she quickly pulled Wen Shu's sleeve and said, "No, it was...I bit it myself."

"Ah? Really?" Xiao Wenshu was wavering between his brother and her, unsure.

"Why are you so careless?" He suddenly felt distressed.

Fortunately, apart from her mouth, she did not have any other injuries, and she looked good, as if she had had a good rest.

"Maybe... I was too impatient." She lowered her eyes slightly, with a smile on the corner of her lips.

"Then... have you applied the medicine?" Xiao Wenshu asked with concern.

Before she could answer, Xiao Yanqing spoke first.

"Qianyun, go get the medicine."

Xiao Wenshu was stunned. He felt that something must have happened between Qingyu and his brother last night. He vaguely felt the subtle atmosphere in the air, especially his brother. It was really strange.

"Does it hurt, Qingyu?"

"It's fine."

"Really? Then be careful recently and don't eat spicy food." Xiao Wenshu reminded again and again.

"Okay." She nodded.

Seeing Xiao Wenshu getting closer and closer to her face, he pursed his lips, but finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Wen Shu, have you completed the task I gave you?"

"No..." Xiao Wenshu lowered his eyes guiltily.

"Then what did you come back for?" He raised his voice, which was far from the tenderness just now.

"I'm worried about Qingyu."

"Qing Yu, did my brother bully you? And...what exactly happened?" Xiao Wenshu hurriedly asked.

"Wen Shu!" he shouted, trying to stop him.

"I... I'll leave after I finish asking." She was afraid of her brother's authority, but also worried that Qing Yu would be wronged.

Seeing this, Qing Yu still told Xiao Wenshu what happened, but naturally omitted many details, such as her plan and everything that happened last night...

"So that's how it is. What a coincidence." No wonder his brother was angry, but in his opinion Qing Yu did nothing wrong.

"Has Qingyu never known that he is His Majesty?"

She shook her head. "I don't know. Isn't His Majesty your uncle? I always thought he was a man in his thirties. Who knew His Majesty was about the same age as... Your Highness."

"Haha, no wonder Qing Yu, who is so smart, couldn't figure out your Majesty's identity."

Xiao Wenshu found it interesting. Knowing the cause and effect of this, he finally felt relieved. He guessed that his brother hated being deceived, so he was so angry.

Xiao Yanqing also heard these words. So that's why she didn't figure it out. If she had known that he was the emperor, her plan would probably have been different.

Then, under his urging, Xiao Wenshu left reluctantly.

He walked up to her, and his stern expression suddenly turned into tenderness. He leaned down, gently lifted her chin, and carefully examined her poor lips.

"Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Her eyes were still smiling, and she didn't blame him at all for his rough possession last night.

"Sorry, I…thought I would pay attention."

The apology he expressed was an apology for his rudeness, not for forcing a kiss on her.

Qian Yun came back with the medicine and saw this intimate and ambiguous scene as soon as she entered the room. She quickly put down the medicine, lowered her head and walked out.

He took the medicine and applied it carefully to her, his attention completely on her lips. His warm fingertips stuck to the moist ointment and touched her delicate lips again and again.

She felt his tenderness and indulged herself in his gradually growing affection, not realizing that her delicate gaze was about to break through his defenses.

The burning gaze stared straight at him, gripping his heart, burning his reason bit by bit like a flame, listening to his rapidly beating heart.

He moved his lips, adjusted his breath, and forced himself to divert his attention, "Yuer, why didn't you tell the truth just now?"

"Ok?"

"If you..."

Before she shouted, she noticed his slightly changed look and immediately changed her words, "If Yanqing wants to tell Wenshu in detail, then I don't need to say it."

He had been trying to stop her just now, didn't he just want Wen Shu to know? Did he not want to make things more complicated?

Perhaps these were the few people who had originally joined the game, so why should Wen Shu worry about it anymore?

After applying the medicine, he examined her condition and asked, "Yu'er, are you still sleepy?"

"Not so sleepy anymore."

"You haven't had enough rest recently?"

"Yeah." She responded quietly.

"Do you need to call a doctor?"

She blinked her clear eyes and then shook her head.

He suddenly remembered her hand, lifted his sleeve to check, and found that the bruise had disappeared, so he covered her arm with confidence.

"Yu'er, don't be so stubborn. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me, okay?"

"Okay." She curved her eyebrows and agreed obediently.

She remembered that there were more important things to discuss, and he seemed to be waiting for her to speak.

"Yan Qing, in the palace...I saw Concubine Zheng."

His deep brows lowered slightly, "Did anything happen?"

"Hmm..." While thinking, she subconsciously wanted to drink some tea. He quickly held her hand, then he remembered that he had just applied the medicine, and obediently withdrew his hand.

"Nothing happened, but I just felt that she was a little different."

She saw Concubine Zheng's unyielding nature beneath her submissive disguise. In her opinion, Concubine Zheng was even too obedient, but this made her look more capable.

Xiao Yanqing did not ask any further questions, as if he understood the hidden secret.

"Yuer, you are not allowed to get close to her or act without permission." He was always feeling uncertain about her entering the palace.

"Is she Jiang Zhuo's woman?" She gestured to what happened before.

He frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then sat down beside her. "Yu'er, tell me everything that happened during your stay in the palace these days."

"Every single one?" She blinked. Did she need to be so clear?

"Yes, every single one." He not only wanted to know that person's attitude towards her, but also what information she had received.

She raised her eyes and immediately made her request, "I also want to know about the matter between Concubine Zheng and Jiang Zhuo."

In fact, he didn't want to tell her, because she would definitely move forward regardless of the consequences, but this matter already concerned her.

Seeing him hesitate, she did not rush him and waited patiently.

"Will you listen to me?"

"Yes." She smiled sweetly.

He sighed, but reluctantly agreed to tell her.
