The red dragon represents the bleeding during a woman’s menstrual period.
Queen Wen was really about to be mad at him and cry. She waved her slender and graceful white jade arm and lightly hit Chu Wuzhi's chest, but she was too lazy to explain to him. She had mixed feelings in her heart and didn't know what to say.
Chu Wuji initially thought that Queen Wen had malicious intentions, but now seeing her reaction, he felt that there was a misunderstanding. However, he could not figure out which link had gone wrong.
Helpless, he could only treat his godmother with the same serious attitude he usually took. He first held her in his arms and then slowly tidied up Queen Wen's clothes.
Seeing that the beautiful woman's towering breasts were no longer heaving with anger, he asked:
"Queen, you are not trying to threaten me. Can you tell me what happened?"
Empress Wen had a calm and intellectual temperament. Even though she felt ashamed and angry, she knew that it was useless to act like a spoiled child. So she sorted out her thoughts and told her about the copied copy of the Su Nu Jing and the incident of the mistaken refining.
After I explained the whole story, her anger had almost subsided. She adopted a cold tone and said:
"The trouble caused by mistakenly refining the 'Yang Pian' has been resolved now. I didn't threaten you intentionally before, but I was embarrassed to explain the situation.
You are not allowed to tell anyone about this. I will not cause you any further trouble. This has nothing to do with Madam Bai. If anyone is to blame, it is Princess Jing'an who missed it."
Chu Wuji had not expected this to happen. He was well aware of the strict ethics of women in the royal family and said worriedly:
"But Queen, will this bring disaster upon you?"
Queen Wen snorted coldly and asked:
"So what? You just tortured me to death... and now you're pretending to be nice. Are you afraid that I'll die under the purview of the royal family?"
Chu Wuji didn't try to explain his rudeness. He had already done it, and speaking out wouldn't change anything. He stared at it and thought:
"I'll take you out of the palace and hide you, okay?"
"..."
To Queen Wen, these words sounded like an invitation to elope, as if someone was willing to take her away from this golden cage.
Although she could not agree to such a thing, because Queen Wen knew that she had family relatives, if she ran away for her own selfish desires, the punishment of the Lihuo royal family would soon fall on the Wen family.
Queen Wen was a rather rational woman, but even so, in the lonely nights of the past many years, she also had unrealistic romantic fantasies in her mind.
She longed for someone in that vanished world to take her far away and show her the outside world...
Of course, no matter how much you think, it is just thinking.
The little emotion in Queen Wen's heart subsided a lot, and she said in a neither light nor heavy tone:
"It's so rare to hear a few kind words from you... I won't scare you anymore. You can't be scared. If you scare me, I'll force you. The Holy Queen Lihuo won't hold me accountable."
"Are you sure you don't need me to take you out of the palace? Don't play some tragic drama where you have to stay alone to accept the royal punishment. There should still be a chance to escape now."
Although he was concerned, the emotion that had finally arisen in Empress Wen's heart was shattered by his words.
"Really, there's no need. I've long been allowed to keep a lover privately, but I just don't have the interest to do so. Besides, even if you take me away, what will happen to Yao'er and the Wen family?"
Chu Wuji couldn't answer this question. Yao'er and Princess Jing'an could still be taken away together, but the Wen family really couldn't do anything about it.
Seeing that Queen Wen did not seem to be lying, he said:
"Then... shall we go back next door first? Otherwise, Yao'er won't be able to find anyone when she wakes up."
The beautiful queen, with her graceful demeanor, raised her dark eyebrows, glared at him with her noble and unique phoenix eyes, and said with pursed lips:
"Don't leave. Let Yao'er come over and talk to me first. We can talk until noon!"
Although it was called a chat, Queen Wen knew that she couldn't let this guy speak, as it would spoil the fun if he opened his mouth. He only talked and laughed with his godmother to please Bai Sujin, and seemed too lazy to pay attention to others.
So, Queen Wen covered his mouth and spoke the whole time, pouring out all her frustrations and helplessness.
During this process, they also talked about their fascination with the former martial arts world, and their admiration and recognition of Chu Wuji when he wore a black warrior robe to compete in a martial arts competition.
Many things feel better after being spoken out, even if there is no solution.
It's like sharing half of the stress and distress. The listener helps share those negative emotions in the process of listening.
After Queen Wen finished speaking, she loosened her hand and stopped covering Chu Wuji's mouth, snorting coldly:
"I will allow you to continue talking and spoiling the fun."
Chu Wuji was surprised: "Queen, how did you know I was going to pour cold water on you?"
The plump and graceful Queen Wen raised her head in Chu Wuji's arms, her eyes gleaming with beauty staring at him:
"You've poured cold water on me so many times! Hurry up and tell me, and then go back to Yao'er!"
Chu Wuji smiled apologetically, then carefully considered his words and said:
"Queen, the Jianghu of the Fire Nation is not as beautiful as you imagine..."
Empress Wen was a rich girl when she was young, and she certainly did not have much contact with the outside world. Many of her experiences were learned from storybooks and passers-by.
The stories she knew about the Jianghu might be stories of helping the weak when they saw injustice, stories of a sudden success after ten years of hardship, or stories of romantic love between two immortal couples...
However, during Chu Wuji's early travels, what he saw most were conflicts over competing for the first place, which then developed into vendettas. If they were defeated, they would hire someone to kill them. What's worse, because the girl got married normally, the man who had a crush on her would be dissatisfied and kill her out of hatred.
All kinds of reasons, no matter whether they are justified or not, eventually lead to murder.
If there were no famous and upright forces occupying the mountains and restricting the occurrence of some bad behaviors, there would be more fighting and killing.
Therefore, no matter how the mainstream trend of folk stories about the underworld changes, there is one theme that will last forever, and that is "retirement from the underworld."
"...Although there are some chivalrous men with shining bodies, they are ultimately a minority. The current Lihuo world can only be said to have both advantages and disadvantages."
"As for the Queen's favor towards me, I am deeply grateful, but I cannot bear the brunt of her idealistic fantasies. I can't even cure my mother's illness, and I just impulsively did something like this... If I were to carry the Queen's vision, I'm afraid it would be shattered."
Chu Wuji finished speaking seriously, and Queen Wen listened carefully.
It has to be said that this time the cold water was poured completely, directly on the thing that had been comforting Empress Wen's lonely heart for many years.
But for some reason, Queen Wen couldn't get angry. She leaned on his chest and rested silently, her heart feeling extremely calm and peaceful.
Chu Wuji said that he could not bear her longing and fantasy. After Queen Wen actually came into contact with him, she found that he did have many bad points, but in fact he was just right in every aspect.
The vision in my heart was not shattered, but instead I felt a sense of wonder that it had come true!
If only this brat could treat me like he does with Madam Bai, chatting and laughing, being very close to me, that would be even better...
Did he get hit on the head so he can only smile at his elders?
Then, does it seem feasible to let Princess Jing'an adopt Chu Wuji and let him call me "Mother" in the future?
Chapter 46: Farewell
Yao'er came over to look for someone. The girl's clear voice came from outside. Queen Wen stopped talking and did not continue chatting with Chu Wuji.
There was a special lingering blush on Queen Wen's smooth cheeks, but there was nothing wrong with the rest of her body, and if there was any, it was hidden under her skirt and would not be easily exposed.
She urged Chu Wuzhi to confirm that there was nothing wrong with her appearance, and helped him put back the "assassination weapon" that had not yet extinguished, forcing herself not to look at it.
But in order to hide her embarrassment, she glanced at Chu Wuji with disdain and said:
"This old, outdated martial arts robe suits you perfectly. If you ever put on those soft, lightweight Confucian robes or tight training clothes, you'll end up with a huge bulge, which will be hideous!"
"..."
Chu Wuji did not argue in response, but remained silent, thinking that Queen Wen was thinking of his embarrassed expression and was getting angry alone.
When the two men walked out of the study, the little princess saw them and immediately ran over, ready to throw herself into Chu Wuzhi's arms, but was stopped by Queen Wen.
I was afraid that once the girl hugged him, she would immediately run into a "tough guy".
Princess Yao'er asked in confusion, "Aunt Queen, why did you and Brother Chu stay in the study for so long?"
Empress Wen maintained a calm and composed expression. "I can't find a seal. I wonder if it's somewhere high up on the bookshelf. Wuji is tall, so I'll ask him to help me check."
Wen Yaoer didn't think anything strange, but just complained, "You went to the study without telling her," and shifted your attention to the beautiful woman's face.
The girl poked Empress Wen's face with her slender fingers and was surprised to find that her fingertips were not stained with makeup.
"Auntie, why is your face so red? I thought you put on some rouge!"
Queen Wen's expression froze for a moment, but she managed to remain calm.
"It's hot at noon, and the study is still stuffy. Let's go eat. Yao'er will have to take a letter back to your mother in the afternoon."
"Okay, if you leave early today, I'll come earlier next time to accompany Auntie. I'll come after breakfast!"
Queen Wen put her cheek close to the girl and rubbed it with a faint smile. Their skin was equally delicate, and the beautiful woman's skin was even more rosy at this moment, so red that it was delicate and full of juice.
When she heard Yao'er say that she would come earlier next time, she couldn't help but wonder if Chu Wuzhi would make breakfast for her if he came along.
"Yao'er, Auntie wants to see you as soon as she gets up. We'll have breakfast in the palace. Can you get up a little earlier?"
"I'll try my best, but I need your cooperation and to get up later."
"That's a deal!"
After coaxing the little girl, Queen Wen glanced at the nearby piece of wood. She was rubbing the foxes' tails. The two little foxes were running around with their cotton-like tails swimming behind them.
Queen Wen asked Chu Wuji to have dinner with her.
After dinner, she went back to her room and wrote another letter to Princess Jing'an.
[Princess, you caused me to lose my virginity (crossed out). You copied the scriptures with omissions, nearly driving me insane. As punishment, you will adopt my adopted son. From now on, Chu Wuji will serve me and respect me as 'Queen Mother'. You are gone.]
Queen Wen reviewed it once, nodded with satisfaction, and then put it in the envelope.
Although she really wanted to keep Chu Wuzhi and Yao'er for a while longer, preferably overnight, the matter of the letter was instructed by the Holy Queen Lihuo, and she must not delay it.
Before leaving, Queen Wen took advantage of Yao'er not noticing her and whispered to Chu Wuji:
"Your boyhood skills...are they having a big impact?"
"I haven't practiced those mysterious martial arts techniques, so it doesn't affect me."
"...?"
Queen Wen was a little bit unbelieving. She thought Madam Bai had so many magical skills, and Chu Wuji should have also practiced this. It turned out to be pure recklessness?
This is better. Queen Wen doesn't want to ruin his future.
Yao'er came over holding the little fox. Queen Wen pretended to be indifferent and watched them leave.
*
After Yao'er returned, she did not forget the important matter that the Queen Aunt had told her to do, and gave the letter to her mother as soon as possible.
Princess Jing'an spent most of the day asking Madam Bai for advice. Although the "Yin Chapter" could not be considered a profound martial art and only had some conditioning effects, it was definitely better to have an expert personally guide her than to slowly figure it out on her own.
In the room, the graceful princess took the letter and opened it to confirm the contents.
She first saw the letter about the "adopted son," and a smile appeared on her bright and attractive lips:
"Adopted by you? That's a nice thought! But I copied it wrong somewhere, didn't I?"
Princess Jing'an just thought it was a joke from the Queen and didn't pay too much attention to it. Next time, she would bring the scripture given by Mrs. Bai to the palace to compare it.
She opened the second letter, her brows furrowed, her expression slightly solemn:
"Is this... a warning from the Holy Queen? Since she's willing to remind me, things probably haven't reached a point of no return yet. I need to send a letter back quickly!"
Princess Jing'an did not delay and immediately arranged for her servants to handle the matter.
*
Chu Wuji returned to his room, and only then did he realize what had happened, wondering how he had gotten so drunk...
He was afraid that he might have some body odor rouge on him, so he ran to the bathhouse in the palace to take a bath, and only then did he feel at ease to stay with his godmother.
Ning Xianzhi sighed softly, and when he saw his son coming back, he said:
"Wuji, we're leaving the day after tomorrow, what do you think?"
The matters in Yunhe Town have come to an end, but she has not shown up yet. Her real body is still in seclusion in the cave on the fairy peak. If I stay there any longer, I am afraid it will cause some misunderstanding.
Chu Wuji felt embarrassed. He had just picked up Queen Wen and given her a beating, and then he ran away immediately. It was a bit unfair.
However, he could not delay his godmother's plan to visit her friends because of his own personal feelings. After all, his godmother's health had to be the priority.
"I'll follow Mother's arrangements. Let's do it the day after tomorrow. I'll go and say hello to Princess Jing'an and Yao'er in advance."
Ning Xianzhi nodded gently:
"Well, remember to thank them for their care these days.
There's one more thing I need to tell you. My friend sent me a letter via carrier pigeon, asking me to bring along the apprentice she's looking for, so there might be two more people traveling with us."
