After the war, everything was messy and there were many things going on.
For two days in a row, Shi Qinghuan could hardly see Baili Heng.
He traveled between the three cities and never stopped.
Only after all the wounded were properly taken care of did Shi Qinghuan see Bailiheng returning tired.
The two looked at each other from a distance, and finally smiled at each other.
This smile was one of relaxation and relief, with unspoken thoughts.
But when he saw the sloppily treated wounds on Bailiheng's body, Shi Qinghuan frowned and stepped forward, "Sit over here quickly."
Bailiheng chuckled and sat down aside. When Shi Qinghuan came over, he suddenly took her hand.
Shi Qinghuan was stunned, but Bailiheng's eyes were fixed on her face, "You look so bad and you haven't rested?"
With worry in his eyes, Shi Qinghuan felt warm in his heart, leaned over and untied his belt.
"Don't worry about me. I've already rested, but you, with all your injuries, don't know how to deal with them properly."
"got used to!"
Having gotten used to this sentence, Shi Qinghuan paused with his fingertips, and when he looked back, he saw the smile in Bailiheng's eyes.
"You know."
This added sentence made Shi Qinghuan sure that Bailiheng was confessing.
He knew she had guessed his identity.
Now, he is giving her the answer.
The certainty of everything made Shi Qinghuan feel at peace inexplicably.
Not because this level of identity will change anything.
But because of his honest trust.
Shi Qinghuan chuckled and nodded, "Yes, I know."
"Then you, don't you have anything to say?"
There was worry in Bailiheng's eyes, and he couldn't figure out what Shi Qinghuan was thinking after knowing the truth.
Shi Qinghuan has never been a reserved person, "You are who you are, I don't think I have anything to say."
These four simple words, you are you, made Bailiheng's eyes light up.
Then his smile deepened and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Shi Qinghuan helped him take off his clothes. When the scars all over his body fell into his eyes, Shi Qinghuan's heart trembled, and his eyes instantly turned red.
But he didn't delay, and instead treated his wounds more quickly and carefully.
Then apply medicine and bandage.
That phrase always comes to mind, get used to it.
Beiyao must have been used to this kind of pain.
Thinking of this, Shi Qinghuan's heart throbbed inexplicably.
Sensing Shi Qinghuan's emotions, Bailiheng looked over.
"It doesn't hurt, really."
"Do you think I'm easy to deceive?"
"Of course not, it's just..."
"I understand, you just don't want me to worry, but I'm not the kind of weak-minded person. I've seen a lot more than you think."
After saying that, Shi Qinghuan took a deep breath, treated all his wounds, and brought some clean clothes to help him put on.
"I'll make some medicine for you, and you can have a good sleep here."
Shi Qinghuan turned to leave, but Bailiheng grabbed his wrist.
When she turned back, Bailiheng pulled her forward and leaned in front of her.
Just leaning against it.
Shi Qinghuan was afraid to move, but Bailiheng smiled slightly and said, "I'm just a little tired and want to lean on him for a while."
"When you're tired, I'll help you on the bed..."
"Different."
Bailiheng's voice was extremely gentle, almost like a whisper.
Shi Qinghuan's heart softened instantly.
Without delving into the meaning of that difference, I subconsciously let him lean on her like this.
For a moment, there was silence, leaving only the breeze passing through the room, making the whole room warm.
"grown ups..."
There were footsteps outside, and Bailiheng let go of Shi Qinghuan.
Zhang Yue walked in quickly, "Everything my lord asked me to do has been taken care of, and no gossip about Commander Su will be spread."
"Well, where's the one in prison?"
"He was very stubborn and didn't ask anything."
"If you can't ask, there's no need to ask. There's no shortage of his evidence."
After saying that, Bailiheng looked at Shi Qinghuan and said, "Go and have a look."
Shi Qinghuan was stunned, "Me?"
"He is Wei Qi." Seeing that Shi Qinghuan had not yet reacted, Bailiheng added, "The deputy general of the Western Region garrison."
"What?"
Shi Qinghuan's heart trembled, and then he understood what Bailiheng meant.
"Go and have a look. It's up to you to decide."
Bailiheng said it naturally, and Shi Qinghuan nodded.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Shi Qinghuan turned and left. Bailiheng looked at Zhang Yue and said, "Go and make arrangements so that no one can approach the cell."
"Yes, then Wei Qi, do we want to escort him back to Kyoto?"
"No need, he won't walk out of the cell alive."
Zhang Yue was puzzled, and Bailiheng didn't say much, "Go ahead as planned. After the matters here are settled, we will return to Kyoto."
"yes."
Shi Qinghuan went all the way to the cell, recalling the list Miaotong had given her before.
Wei Qi was the one who personally killed his eldest brother.
Not only was he killed according to the order, but he also hung the body on the city gate. Later, it still aroused the anger of the people and the army, so he stopped cremating it.
Shi Qinghuan didn't understand the meaning of this at first, but now he understands it.
Wei Qi is Cheng Yangfeng's man, so everything is naturally inseparable from Cheng Yangfeng's instructions.
Thinking of this, Shi Qinghuan's body gradually became filled with murderous intent.
He quickly entered the cell, and Zhang Yue followed him and evacuated everyone.
Shi Qinghuan naturally understood Bailiheng's intention, but at this moment, hatred prevented her from thinking about the other deeper meaning.
Only Shi Qinghuan would need to kill for revenge.
Shi Qinghuan didn't care to think about these things, and looked at Wei Qi chained up on the wooden frame, covered with cuts and bruises, and in a miserable state.
She stepped forward slowly and looked at Wei Qi.
His calm expression made Wei Qi feel more and more terrified.
He didn't recognize the person in front of him, but the look in his eyes felt familiar to him.
"Who are you?"
Shi Qinghuan sneered, "What you should ask is what I will do to you."
Wei Qi had some backbone and showed no fear, "They can't even find me out. Is it possible that you can?"
"Who said I was here to interrogate you?"
"If you don't interrogate me, what are you going to do?"
"Those who are worthless will always die."
"Oh, you think I will believe your scare? Without me, you will lose very important evidence. How can you kill me before you can protect me?"
"You don't have to believe it..."
Shi Qinghuan's eyes darkened, "Just go and die!"
After saying that, he reached out and clamped Wei Qi's jaw, and then poured all the pills in the bottle into it.
After forcing Wei Qi to take it, he wiped the hand that touched him in disgust.
Wei Qi coughed and looked at Shi Qinghuan, with a hint of fear in his eyes, "What on earth did you feed me?"
"Poison, as I said, I'm here to kill you, but there are some things you still need to spit out before you die."
Shi Qinghuan possessed him and stared into Wei Qi's eyes, "During the Zhengyang Rebellion, when you killed Shi Qingyu in the border town, was it already a plan?"
As soon as he heard about the Zhengyang Rebellion, Wei Qi became nervous and looked flustered.
"What did you and Cheng Yangfeng conspire to do?"
"I don't."
"You do, otherwise why would you have placed Shi Qingyu under house arrest in the army before the execution order came?"
"I have no idea!"
"You know, you knew in advance that Shi Qingyu would be executed by decree, because everything was a conspiracy between you and Cheng Yangfeng to frame Shi Qingyu."
"no..."
During Shi Qinghuan's continuous pursuit and the effect of the medicine, Wei Qi's eyes gradually became blurred and fell into chaos.
A haunting blend of effects.
Seeing this, Shi Qinghuan spoke again, "You beheaded Shi Qingyu and insulted his body after his death. Did you see it? He came back to find you."
Wei Qi struggled in fear.
"You're talking nonsense. He won't come back to me. There's no way he's coming back to me."
"Why don't you come back to find you? You are a murderer, you taint the innocence of others, you are a secret murderer, and you..."
"No way, he won't come to me, because...because..."
Wei Qi seemed to be struggling with restraint, trying his best not to say the next words.
Shi Qinghuan noticed something unusual, "Why?"
"because..."
In the end, Wei Qi couldn't resist.
"Because I didn't kill him at all!"
