The first thing I noticed that Mu Wanqing woke up was the maid who had been waiting in the room. The maid could no longer bear the sleepiness. She sat beside the bed and her head was bit by bit. When she heard a slight sound in her confusion, she suddenly woke up. When she saw Mu Wanqing's bright eyes fixed on her, she couldn't help but panic in her heart and said quickly: "Girl, when did you wake up?"

"Where is this?" Mu Wanqing's pretty face was frosted, and her slightly hoarse voice showed a sense of indifference: "Where is my clothes? Who are you?"

"This is on the pleasure boat, uh, by the Taihu Lake." The maid whispered: "Your clothes are soaked, and you still have blood on them. You have been replaced by your maids and sisters. Girl, how do you feel? I'll invite the doctor, no, I'll invite the young master to come..."

"Young Master? What kind of young master?" Mu Wanqing frowned slightly, then raised her hand to touch her cheek. Her body suddenly trembled but hit the wound and then groaned, then said tremblingly: "Is my face... you exposed it?"

The maid shook her head and said, "I don't know. It was the young master on the boat who found you fainted on the deck and ordered the maids to carry you in. Not long after, a group of people in the lake chased after him. They shouted and killed him very terrifyingly, but they were all knocked back by the young master and his men. Well, there was an old lady left on the boat, and her arms were cut off..."

Mu Wanqing didn't listen to the maid's words, her cherry lips were tightly pursed, and her face changed. She picked up the face of the pillow folded into a square, and for a long time, she suddenly lifted up the brocade quilt. Just as she was about to get out of bed and rushed out, she suddenly felt a violent dizziness and fell on the bed again. The wound that had been bandaged bloomed again, and blood quickly penetrated the cloth strips that wrapped the wound and spread out.

"Ah... Help!" The maid was so panicked when she saw this and screamed in surprise.

Zhao Ji had already walked into the cabin, but hesitated whether he should enter the room. He heard the cry for help and rushed in. Seeing Mu Wanqing lying on the bed, the bloodstains under her body were stained with the brocade quilt, and her face was paler than before. He turned his head and looked at the panicked maid: "What's going on?"

The maid shook her head in panic and said, "I don't know this girl, she herself..."

Seeing a young man rushing into the room, Mu Wanqing subconsciously covered her face with her hands: "Go out!"

Seeing this, Zhao Ji probably understood the reason, so he turned around and retreated. When he walked to the door, he heard Mu Wanqing say, "Slow down!"

Zhao Ji turned around again, Mu Wanqing turned her back to him, her voice trembling with a hint of trembling: "You saved me? You, who exposed my face?"

"That's right, it's me." Zhao Ji thought for a moment, and then admitted directly: "Miss, you suddenly fainted on the deck and I saw you. When you came forward to investigate, you can reveal your face and see your face. I hope the offense will be forgiven."

Hearing this, a string tense in Mu Wanqing's heart suddenly broke, and her breathing suddenly became rapid: "You, you..." Because of her upset, she fainted again.

Seeing this, Zhao Ji quickly ordered the maid to invite the female doctor who stayed on the boat to come over, treat it, and bandage the wound again. After changing the quilt and quilt, Zhao Ji saw that the maid was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, so he asked her to retreat to rest. He moved a stool and sat cross-legged in this room to calm down, silently thinking about Lingbo's steps and new insights in his mind, and he had already entered a state of meditation without hesitation.

As dawn approached, Mu Wanqing woke up again. At this time, the candles in the room had burned out, and only the gauze windows were filled with some morning light. After she opened her eyes, she adapted to the faint light. She saw the exquisite wall decorations in the room, and her face darkened. It turned out that what had just happened was not a dream after all.

She sat up with her arms on the bed with some difficulty, and found that her clothes had changed again, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and then she subconsciously wanted to bring the curtain on her face, and she suddenly stopped halfway. She sat stiffly, and tears gradually gathered in her eyes and slid silently along her cheeks. After a while, she suddenly heard a uniform and long breathing sound in the room. Her eyes turned, and she saw Zhao Ji sitting in front of the opposite wall. She was shocked at first, and she held her breath for a while before she realized that the man seemed to be asleep.

While breathing a sigh of relief, a thin layer of anger gradually emerged on Mu Wanqing's face. When she saw the face hanging on one side of her cheek, her anger became stronger. As her expression changed, a trace of determination gradually appeared in her eyes, and her arms gradually raised to point at Zhao Ji. However, when she was halfway through, a trace of struggle and hesitation appeared on her face, and her movements slowed down.

After half a quarter of an hour, her thin lips kept twitching, as if she was saying "I'm sorry", but she didn't make a sound. But after a long time, she finally put down her arm and lowered her head weakly, but suddenly she found that she had changed her clothes and all the equipment she should have defended was gone. After discovering this, she let out a long breath and realized that her forehead was covered with fine cold sweat.

Lying down silently again, the light in the room became a little brighter. Mu Wanqing lay on the bed and turned her head slightly, her eyes fell on Zhao Ji and then retracted. But after a while, she couldn't help but turn her eyes and look at her. She heard the other party's breathing sound smoothly and long, and finally turned her eyes and stared completely over.

The man in sight had his eyelids hanging down, his expression was calm and peaceful, his lips were slightly pursed, and his face was clear. He looked not very old, so he should be similar to himself. Mu Wanqing lived in secluded valleys with his master since childhood, and he rarely saw outsiders. He really didn't understand how to judge a person's appearance, but he didn't hate it when he looked at it like this. Just when he thought of the annoying oath, she felt a little irritable, and her pretty face gradually became hot and her breathing became disordered.

She turned around and closed her eyes, but the figure just now followed her into her mind, lingering, and even the details she had not noticed just now gradually became clear. She exhaled a breath of turbid air like anger. She opened her eyes and looked at the roof carved with exquisite patterns. As she looked, the patterns actually turned out to outline the figure that bothered her.

She turned around and saw Zhao Ji's quiet expression again. Her brows couldn't help but frown. She bit her lower lip lightly, thinking with shame that the fault of this matter was not her. Why did she have to be so troubled but she was so leisurely?

His eyes turned, Mu Wanqing waved her pink fist and knocked it on the bed, shouting: "I'm thirsty!"

Hearing this shout, Zhao Ji woke up from the meditation. Before he could stand up, a maid had already walked into the room and whispered: "Girl, what do you want to drink?"

When Mu Wanqing saw the maid coming in, her expression froze and then said in a little disappointed voice: "I'll drink water."

After the maid went out to prepare for drinking water, Zhao Ji took a step forward and said to Mu Wanqing: "Miss, please rest assured to recover from the wounds. There will be no trouble. If there is any need, just ask others to do it."

Mu Wanqing looked at him, her face turned hot first, but her expression became cold: "I understand." After a pause, she saw Zhao Ji walking out the door, and then said, "You saved me, thank you."

"It's just a little effort, so take care of your injuries." Zhao Ji turned around and laughed, then walked out of the room.

At this time, the sky was gradually brightening, and the fish in the east were gradually becoming white. Zhao Ji took a breath of the cool air on the lake surface. Looking at the mist-swept Taihu Lake under the morning light, his mood was a little refreshed. After Lingbo's microsteps broke through, his six senses became much more keen. Although he had just entered a fixed breath in the room, he had already noticed it when Mu Wan woke up. Although this cold-faced girl struggled, although he did not see it with his own eyes, he could guess a rough idea. He was indeed curious about what choice she would make. Although this result might not make him ecstatic, it was also a little light.

Several guards guarded the deck all night, and morning dew condensed from their clothes. Zhao Ji turned his head and smiled, "Everyone has been tired all night, hurry up and go to rest."

After everyone stepped back, Zhao Ji walked on the washed deck, with some thoughts in his mind. Although the twenty guards around him were temporarily assigned from the imperial guards to protect themselves because of their mission to Dali, they had a few months to get along with each other. Although they did not have much deeper relationship, they also developed some friendships. If they were to let them go back to the imperial guards, Zhao Ji was still reluctant to let them go. After returning to Bianliang, he would ask for their opinions. If he wanted, he would be happy to summon them into the royal palace to officially become his own guard. Although he had fewer opportunities to go to battle to kill the enemy, his treatment was higher than staying in the imperial guards, and his life would become more stable.

The sun rose and the sky gradually became brighter. Zhao Ji was walking on the deck for a while. After breakfast, he arranged for someone to find a small boat on the pier and send Grandma Ping back to Mantuo Villa. Whether Mrs. Wang could be aware of the situation and calm down, would there be other choices? Zhao Ji was also very curious.
