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

Qingyu had been waiting in the study, waiting for him to come back.

"Qing Yu, can we go back and rest first?"

She leaned against the small table and shook her head. "I want to wait for him to come back."

"But...it's already midnight." Xiao Wenshu looked at her worriedly.

"Wenshu, go to sleep. I'm not sleepy." She gave a faint smile.

"But..." Xiao Wenshu sighed helplessly.

How could he sleep if she didn't go to rest? Wasn't there a sedative in the medicine? How could he not feel sleepy?

Besides, why hasn’t my brother come back yet?

The situation in the mansion soon reached Xiao Yanqing's ears.

His heart suddenly skipped a beat and he stood up uncontrollably, "She's been waiting?!"

“Yes… yes, Your Highness.” The guard lowered his head timidly upon seeing his gloomy face.

"Didn't we ask Wen Shu to watch her?!"

"Prince...there is no other way, so..."

He did not stop, "Prepare the horses!"

"If your majesty asks, just say I'll be back soon."

"It's Your Highness."

After everything was arranged, Xiao Yanqing rode back home at full speed.

Sure enough, when I hurried in, I saw that the candle in the study was still on.

Qing Yu, who was in the room, heard the noise outside, put down the pen in her hand, ran over happily, and saw him walking towards her.

"Yan Qing." She raised the corners of her lips, her eyebrows curved, as if she came out specially to greet him.

But when he saw her, his face turned pale, and his anger was accompanied by an unconcealable pain.

Why doesn't she take care of herself?

"Why aren't you sleeping?!"

Perhaps it was because of his harsh voice, she was stunned for a moment before answering, "I'm not sleepy yet, so I want to wait..."

Upon hearing this, he yelled uncontrollably.

"If you're not sleepy, then you won't sleep. If you're not hungry, then you won't eat?!"

But he regretted it as soon as he said it. She was obviously still sick and he shouldn't have yelled at her.

Being scolded by him, the smile on her face gradually faded, and she lowered her head without saying a word.

Although she had no expression on her face, her grievances and pain seemed to flow out of her body endlessly. Anyone who saw it couldn't help but want to go up and hug her.

He tried to calm himself down and pursed his lips, "Go back to the room and sleep."

This time she did not resist. She turned back without saying a word.

But the moment she turned around, he subconsciously took a step forward, wanting to hold her hand, and even wanted to hug her, but in the end he held back.

"Brother! Don't be like this, Qingyu has been waiting for you." Xiao Wenshu felt uncomfortable watching this. He had been waiting for his brother, but as soon as he came back, he was scolded.

He didn't pay attention to what Xiao Wenshu said, but just reminded her, "Wenshu, when you see her, you must eat, take medicine, and sleep."

"Okay." Xiao Wenshu was puzzled, "Brother...are you still going out?"

"The business has not been completed yet. Come back before tomorrow night and take good care of her. It's best to watch her all the time."

Xiao Wenshu nodded in astonishment. His brother never made his whereabouts clear, and...did his brother come back specially to urge Qingyu to rest?

After he said hello, he waited until the lights in her room went out before leaving.

After Qing Yu blew out the candle, he leaned quietly against the window, listening to the sound of horse hooves disappearing from the mansion.

he left.

Tomorrow is the tenth day, the last day of the deadline she gave.

Her fair skin looked even colder in the moonlight, and the smile at the corners of her lips became more sickly.

"Hehe... How can I ease the situation?"

She is not anxious about his estrangement in these days. In her heart, this is the love that deepens the affection with fear of loss.

It was obviously painful, but she was willing to do it. She knew that as long as she kept getting closer, he would fall in love with her one day. However, that was not the love she wanted.

……

The next night.

Xiao Yanqing finally finished his work after working tirelessly and returned to the palace.

The first thing I did when I came back was to ask about her situation.

"How is she today?" Xiao Yanqing asked hurriedly while panting when he saw Xiao Wenshu coming towards him.

"Qingyu was very obedient today and has just fallen asleep." Xiao Wenshu told him.

He relaxed slightly and walked into the study, but as soon as he entered, he saw papers on the table.

Picking it up and examining it, he could immediately tell it was her handwriting, with a poem written on it.

"My love is so deep that I cannot express it in words. I miss you day and night and cannot sleep."

"Right and wrong linger in my mind, and the turmoil and entanglement are hard to resolve."

He silently recited in his heart the love that could not be expressed in words, and the right and wrong that could not be distinguished.

Is she trying to tell me something?

Seeing his brother's slight doubt, Xiao Wenshu explained, "This was written by Qingyu while he was waiting for you last night."

"Last night..." But last night I was still...

“Brother…” Xiao Wenshu stood aside and seemed to have something to say.

"Go ahead."

"Brother, please stop blaming Qingyu. Qingyu didn't leave the bedroom all day and didn't talk much. He seemed very unhappy."

These words sounded unpleasant, so he put down the paper and quietly went to her house.

She curled up beside the bed, as if this was the only way she could fall asleep peacefully. He recalled that before, she always snuggled into his arms.

But she has been alone these days, so is that why she can't fall asleep?

Thinking of this, he felt nothing but heartache and self-blame.

He took out the ointment from the cabinet, sat beside her bed, slowly took her hand out from under the quilt, and carefully applied the ointment to her, fearing that he would hurt her or wake her up.

She could only apply it slowly like this, and perhaps it was a little painful. She frowned slightly, and her arms trembled unconsciously.

After noticing this, he immediately slowed down his movements and blew gently again, trying his best to relieve her pain.

It took a while to apply the medicine. He lay on his side beside her, noticing her uneven breathing and gently stroking her back with his hand.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, the beautiful woman on the bed suddenly reached out her hand.

She wrapped her arms around his waist, hugged him tightly, and buried her face in his chest.

He was stunned for a moment, then he realized that she was not asleep. For a moment he didn't know how to react, nor how to explain his actions.

Had I fallen into her trap again?

But the next moment, her words made all the thoughts seem to be blown away by the wind.

"Yan Qing, it's been ten days. Don't be angry, okay?" Her delicate voice was extremely weak, so weak that it made people feel distressed.

Before he could open his mouth to respond, he suddenly realized that her injured hand was pressed beneath him.

He shifted, trying to pull her hand away, worried that he was hurting her.

But his action made her mistakenly think that he was going to push her away.

"Don't push me away!" she suddenly raised her voice, the fear and timidity in her voice nowhere to be hidden.

But it finally turned into a question, "Okay?"

Only now did he understand that the distance she kept from him was because she was worried that he would push her away.

Ten days of suppressed regret finally burst out from his heart.

He stretched out his arms and wrapped them around her petite body, one hand around her waist and the other behind her head, instantly giving her an endless sense of security.

"Didn't you take the medicine?" He remembered that the medicine had a calming effect, so he probably didn't take it, and Wen Shu didn't notice it.

She nodded in his arms.

"why?"

"Waiting for you." She was not worried that he would not come, but that he came and left.

"What if I don't come?" He looked a little worried.

"Keep waiting."

Why is she always so stubborn and disobedient...
