Wait until after giving Li Chengqian the medicine.
Lu Wanjie took the handkerchief from Zitao. While wiping her hands, she asked softly: "Do you feel better?"
"Of course."
"With your help applying the medicine, I don't even feel the pain anymore."
While talking, Li Chengqian showed a naive smile to Lu Wanjie.
Seeing him like this, Lu Wanjie rolled her eyes and said straightly: "It seems that I haven't hurt you, otherwise how could you still have the leisure to talk to me here?"
"What's wrong with talking nonsense with you..."
Li Chengqian also rolled his eyes and said with a nonchalant look on his face: "The beating today is just a small scene. If you go to court in the future, there will be many more days like this."
"ah?"
"What do you mean?"
Lu Wanjie looked at Li Chengqian with a puzzled face: "Does it mean that you still need to be beaten when you go to court?"
"Otherwise, you think that to walk in the court, you only need to get your salary when the day comes?"
"If you think this is how the imperial court is, you are totally wrong."
"Other people won't say anything, but they will say that Uncle Cheng has some scars on his body. How many of them were left on the battlefield?"
Li Chengqian put his hand under his chin and said straightly: "Most of those scars were pulled out with whips or beaten with boards in order to withstand my father's thunder..."
Li Chengqian didn't know how deep the water in the court was before.
But as he stayed in this era longer and longer, he became more and more able to see the reality clearly.
Cheng Yaojin's status today is not only because he saved Li Shimin from danger several times.
What's more, he and Li Shimin always have these indescribable tacit understandings, as well as his ability to dare to take the blame.
For example, in the court hall today, Li Shimin was made a little embarrassed by Li Chengqian.
The ministers in the court were also at a loss, making the whole scene extremely embarrassing.
At that time, only Cheng Yaojin could He stood up and came to Li Shimin's rescue.
Let's talk about the previous establishment of the Qianzi camp for Li Chengqian. It was clearly Li Shimin who wanted to blackmail the ministers of the DPRK, but he chose to use Cheng Yaojin's mouth to get it.
When this matter was revealed, Li Shimin immediately removed himself and beat Cheng Yaojin dozens of times.
To a certain extent, this is to help the monarch share his worries and help the monarch take the blame.
If Li Chengqian ascends to the court in the future, this matter will most likely fall on him.
Therefore, when he said that after entering the court, the number of beatings he received would only increase, he was not trying to scare Lu Wanjie.
Of course, Lu Wanjie is so smart that she can understand the meaning of his words.
Looking at Lu Wanjie with reddish eyes, Li Chengqian stretched out his hand to hold her little hand, and chuckled: "Don't worry, those guards will not kill me."
"These injuries look scary at best, but after a few days I will be alive and kicking again."
Lu Wanjie pouted and said with some dissatisfaction: "The beating was too light but too heavy. Whether I am alive or not, what does it have to do with me..."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Hey, what happened to you little girl today? How dare you confront me?"
"Don't you want to stay and take care of me?"
"Why should I stay and take care of you?"
Lu Wanjie turned away and said, "You have your wife, let Miss Su take care of you..."
Huh……
Li Chengqian could clearly hear that there was a very strong smell of jealousy in this girl's words.
He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Are you jealous?"
"Jealous? Why should I be jealous?"
Lu Wanjie glanced at Li Chengqian and pretended not to care.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian smiled
Already.
He raised his upper body with both hands and placed his head on Lu Wanjie's lap.
He closed his eyes slightly and sniffed her unique fragrance almost greedily...
After a long time, he pursed his lips and said softly: "What I always pretend to be in my heart is the girl I rescued from the Yangtze River that year..."
Hearing this, Lu Wanjie's face turned red with embarrassment.
My thoughts couldn't help but drift back to that year, month, day, and night.
At that time, she was in such a state of embarrassment that she almost lost her life.
And he came like a god and rescued himself from the tiger's mouth...
Thinking of this, Lu Wanjie couldn't help but reach out her hand and gently stroke Li Chengqian's eyebrows.
You said you were pretending to be the girl you rescued from the river that year.
And why don’t I pretend to be that person in my heart who only smiles silly when I see anyone...
…
Because my back was injured.
Li Chengqian couldn't get up at all.
Therefore, in the following days, Li Shimin did not force him to go to the court to listen to the court.
His job every day is to lie there, stretch out his hands for clothes, and open his mouth for food.
This was a blessing in disguise, and to a certain extent, he got the salty life he longed for.
And that's not all, Empress Changsun seems to also want to compensate for Lu Wanjie's deficiencies in certain aspects.
Every day, someone would be sent to escort Lu Wanjie to the Prince of Qin's Mansion, where she would stay for a day, and then someone would take her back at night.
This also allowed these two guys to heat up their relationship even though they were not yet married.
Of course, because of Lu Wanjie's meticulous care of him, Li Chengqian recovered quickly from his injury.
In less than half a month, he was able to get out of bed and walk.
But in order to prevent Li Shimin from catching him back again, he could only continue to pretend to be injured and unable to move.

Li Shimin turned a blind eye to his behavior and ignored him at all.
Time flies by, and in a blink of an eye, it’s New Year’s Eve this year.
New Year's Eve is all about family reunion.
Li Chengqian was also summoned to the palace to have a royal family banquet with Li Shimin and Queen Changsun.
Last year, Li Chengqian did not return to Chang'an City because he was in charge of building a farm in Beimo.
This year, Li Shimin finally experienced the taste of a happy reunion.
Especially after seeing how little Li Zhi had been clinging to his brother since Li Chengqian arrived, Li Shimin felt even more at ease.
It would be great if his son could have such feelings...
Thinking about it, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Li Tai beside him.
Nowadays, Li Tai has the appearance of a fat man, as fat as a meat ball.
Compared to Li Chengqian who was surrounded by his younger brothers and sisters, his place was much more deserted.
No one took the initiative to talk to him, and no one said anything to him.
Even Empress Changsun obviously had some prejudice against her second son.
The reason is the same, because among Li Chengqian's generation, the first and second battles of the royal family's children are absolutely related to him.
Sometimes, Empress Changsun couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with her education.
If not, why would Li Chengqian be able to live in harmony and have fun with his younger brothers and sisters so carelessly?
But Li Tai, who is almost the same age as him, has been planning and plotting all day long...
I saw Empress Changsun looking worried when she looked at Li Tai.
Li Shimin reached out and held her hand, and said softly: "They are both your and my sons, and I like them all..."
Hearing this, Queen Changsun's eyes were extremely complicated.
After a while, she pursed her lips and said, "I just hope not to cause any trouble to His Majesty..."
