Zhang Yanling handed over the cloth and said softly: "Don't be afraid, this is just a dream. You are fine, and so am I. They haven't come either. Your two younger brothers must be fine too. Don't worry."
Zhu Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief, her stiff body became more relaxed, and she gently leaned on the bedside and said: "Great, luckily it's a dream. But it's also too real, too real. Does this portend something bad?
."
Zhang Yanling said softly: "Don't think nonsense. Dreams are all reversed. Princess, you are under too much psychological pressure, that's why you have such a dream."
Zhu Qingyi nodded slightly, remained silent for a moment and said, "You said you heard it? Did I talk in my sleep?"
Zhang Yanling said: "You said it, otherwise why would I come to wake you up."
"What did I say in my sleep?" Zhu Qingyi asked.
Zhang Yanling shook his head and said softly: "What you said was unclear, I didn't hear clearly. In short, don't worry. Princess, I have everything. I will not let you get hurt, nor will I let the young prince and the second prince
The young master was harmed."
Zhu Qingyi nodded slightly.
Zhang Yanling said: "It's still early, you should go to bed. Don't think about it. You are too tired and stressed. Just have a good sleep and you will be fine."
Zhu Qingyi hummed and seemed to close her eyes.
Zhang Yanling turned around, opened the curtain and walked away, Zhu Qingyi's voice sounded behind him.
"Zhang Yanling, can you sit next to me? I... I... am very scared. Can I... lend you a shoulder to lean on?"
The room was silent, summer insects were chirping outside the window, and the breeze blew through the leaves on the treetops, making a soft rustling sound like running water. The wind chimes outside the house also started ringing loudly.
Zhang Yanling turned to look at Zhu Qingyi's silhouette in the dark, and saw her frightened and pleading eyes in the darkness. He turned around, slowly sat on the bedside, and put his arms around Zhu Qingyi, who was as smooth as gel.
Ordinary arms. With just a slight exertion, Zhu Qingyi's body fell into Zhang Yanling's arms.
"You can go to sleep, I will stay here to watch over you." Zhang Yanling said softly.
Zhu Qingyi's face was red, but she held Zhang Yanling's arm tightly without letting go, and leaned her head on Zhang Yanling's chest. She heard Zhang Yanling's powerful heartbeat. Dong-dong-dong, firm, powerful and steady. Listening to this heartbeat,
Zhu Qingyi felt much more at ease.
Zhang Yanling held this woman in his arms, smelled the pleasant fragrance from her body, felt her soft body, listened to her gentle breathing, and felt a strange feeling in his heart.
"Zhang Yanling, did you really not hear what I was talking about in my sleep?" Zhu Qingyi said softly.
Zhang Yanling was silent for a moment and said softly: "I really didn't hear it clearly."
"Oh." Zhu Qingyi closed her eyes and thought: Fortunately, I didn't say anything excessive in my sleep. In the dream, I and you...were husband and wife.
"Zhang Yanling, if we can successfully suppress the rebellion this time, I don't want any reward from the court. You also don't want to give me any credit. I don't care about any credit. I want... to order something else." Zhu Qingyi closed her eyes and said softly.
The way.
"If you don't want credit, what do you want?" Zhang Yanling said softly.
"I want...I want you to promise me something." Zhu Qingyi said with her eyes closed.
"What's the matter?" Zhang Yanling asked.
"I...can't think of it now. Can you...promise me first, and I will tell you when I think of what I want? How about that?" Zhu Qingyi said softly.
Zhang Yanling was silent again.
"Are you not willing? Am I being too greedy? Oh, I am indeed too greedy. How could I make such a request?" Zhu Qingyi said softly, with a bit of disappointment and sadness in her voice.
Zhang Yanling gritted his teeth and said: "I promise you, as long as it is something I can do and it does not violate my principles and bottom line as a person, I can promise you."
Zhu Qingyi said happily: "Are you serious? Don't worry, I won't let you kill people and set fires. Maybe it will be easy, maybe... it will be difficult. In short... it won't be about killing people, setting fires, and robbing homes, no.
It will make you unfaithful, filial, benevolent and unjust."
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "Go to sleep, I promise you. Get a good sleep, tomorrow is the last day. Tomorrow night, we will do something big."
Zhu Qingyi hummed, put her head in Zhang Yanling's arms twice, and leaned against Zhang Yanling's body in the most comfortable position. Soon after, she breathed softly and fell into a deep sleep.
The early morning sunlight filtered in through the window lattice, and the chirping of birds outside the house awakened Zhang Yanling from her sweet dream.
Zhang Yanling stood up suddenly and looked around. The woman sitting in front of the dressing table turned her head when she heard the sound.
"Are you awake?" Zhu Qingyi smiled sweetly.
Her already beautiful face was covered with delicate makeup, making her look even more charming and charming. She was wearing a luxurious dress, her temples were meticulously combed, and the gold hairpin and pearls on her head sparkled in the sun. It was like her whole body.
They are all glowing.
Zhang Yanling was stunned, not daring to look any further. He sat up, pinched the sore back of his neck and said, "Good morning, Princess. What time is it? How long have I been asleep?"
"It's already time. Seeing that Mr. Hou was sleeping soundly, he didn't wake him up. Mr. Hou, please wash up. Caiyun has fetched water and prepared it outside." Zhu Qingyi said softly.
Zhang Yanling nodded hurriedly, walked outside to wash up, and secretly glanced down at the courtyard for a few times. He found that the guards at the entrance of the courtyard had disappeared.
While washing, Zhang Yanling suddenly discovered that the bullet belt and firearms around her waist were missing. She was shocked and rushed into the inner room with water stains on her face. Only to see those things lying intact on the table.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"The firearms that the Marquis carried were very irritating, so Qingyi helped you untie them. Marquis, please come and sit here. Qingyi will help you comb your hair." Zhu Qingyi said with a smile.
"I don't dare, I don't dare. I can just have a plate myself." Zhang Yanling said hurriedly.
Zhu Qingyi looked at him with a stubborn look in his eyes.
Zhang Yanling had no choice but to go over and sit down, saying, "I'm tired."
Zhu Qingyi said nothing, and her soft fingers moved quickly on Zhang Yanling's head. She quickly combed Zhang Yanling's hair into a bun and inserted a hairpin into it.
"Master Marquis, put on this robe and see if it fits you." Zhu Qingyi took a robe from the cabinet. The blue robe was of good quality and was worth a lot at first glance.
"This is the robe I made while pretending to be a man. I wonder if the Marquis can wear it. It's a little too big for me, and the Marquis may be a little too small for me." Zhu Qingyi said with a smile.
Zhang Yanling looked at the robe he was wearing. It was dirty and torn, so he put it on with a smile. As soon as the robe was put on, it turned out that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. Zhang Yanling suddenly became radiant and became a handsome young man.
Zhu Qingyi nodded slightly and praised: "The clothes fit the Marquis and look like they were made for the Marquis. The Marquis is very handsome."
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "You are also beautiful. It's just that we are dressed so grandly. What are we doing?"
Zhu Qingyi said: "Today is a big day, so dress more formally."
Zhang Yanling was stunned and said: "The princess said that we need to take action today, right?"
Zhu Qingyi shook his head and said: "Today is my birthday. In previous years, many people would celebrate me. This year, only you, Lord Marquis, are my guests. But I still want to dress up more grandly. After all, after today, I don't know whether I will live or die."
Zhang Yanling said in surprise: "It turns out that congratulations to the princess today. It's a pity that we can't celebrate in this situation. If I had known this, I should have prepared a gift for the princess."
Zhu Qingyi smiled and said: "That's not necessary."
Zhang Yanling waved his hand and touched all over his body. He had already spent all the money at Hongguang Temple. He still had two packets of first-aid powder and Babao Heart-protecting Pills in his arms, but this was medicine and could not be given to others on their birthday. Suddenly he touched his waist.
He had an ammunition belt, so he took out a paper-wrapped bullet and handed it over.
"I don't have much, so these are firecrackers and ammunition. Give one to the princess as a congratulatory gift," Zhang Yanling said.
Zhu Qingyi was stunned, then reached out to take it, smiling sweetly: "This is the strangest gift Qingyi has ever received. However, I want it too. It's better than nothing."
Zhang Yanling scratched his head and laughed. "You can exchange this for a valuable gift and cash it in the future. Princess, you don't have to blame me."
Zhu Qingyi shook her head and said with a smile: "I won't change."
