MTL - Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress-Chapter 692 [Verse] I only hope that your heart will be like mine (11)
Having made up her mind, Dong Qing felt much better. She returned to bed, closed her eyes, and forced herself to fall asleep as soon as possible.
But she still had trouble falling asleep.
After experiencing the excitement just now, the typhoid fever that was re-induced made her cough for a while from time to time.
Outside, the autumn rain gradually began to fall again, and from the sound, it seemed to be raining harder and harder. The sound of raindrops added a bit of desolation to the dark night.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside. Dong Qing immediately stood up and sat up. Listening carefully, he judged that it was Li Kun who had returned.
Even if he replied, she wouldn't want to give him a good face.
She thought so.
Dong Qing was thinking here when she heard a "dong dong dong" knock on the door, mixed with Li Kun's slightly anxious voice: "Madam, open the door quickly, it's raining heavily outside."
Dong Qing then remembered that it was still raining outside. She couldn't think about it anymore and ran out without even putting on her shoes.
When Li Kun saw that the door of the room was suddenly opened, and he was calling someone, he was stunned for a moment, then he looked at his wife up and down, and said hurriedly: "Why did you come out without putting on some clothes?" Then he glanced at her naked body. He looked at his feet and said in surprise: "You don't even wear shoes?"
It wasn't until Li Kun spoke that Dong Qing felt the chill coming from her body. She secretly rolled her eyes at Li Kun. Seeing that he was soaked like this, she couldn't get rid of the sullenness she had been holding back in her heart. She just said: "Come on. Come on, open the door, let the cool breeze flow in."
Li Kun was soaked in the rain. He pushed the door and entered the house. He first went to the inner room to get his shoes, then bent down and put them at his wife's feet and said, "Put them on quickly. You are still sick. Why don't you know how to be careful?"
Dong Qing put on her shoes, glanced at Li Kun's wet appearance, frowned and said, "You're not wearing a raincoat?"
“It’s an emergency, so I can’t take care of it. Besides, it didn’t rain when I left.”
Li Kun saw his wife caring about him, and a smile appeared on his lips: "The ground is cold, you go to bed first, and I'll change clothes."
After saying that, he strode to the bathroom
Because he was soaked, Li Kun walked this way and soaked a large area of the ground.
When Dong Qing returned to the inner room, she didn't go to bed either. She just sat on the edge of the bed and listened to what was going on in the bathroom. After sitting there for a while, she couldn't help but follow her to the bathroom.
Although they were husband and wife, she had never served her husband to bathe.
Dong Qing stood at the door of the bathroom and locked the door: "There is hot water in the bucket. You might as well soak in it for a while to get rid of the cold."
Li Kun inside heard the sound and replied: "No need, it's so delicate."
Dong Qing insisted: "Just take a dip for a while. The autumn rain is very cold, so be careful not to catch a cold when you turn around."
Dongqing was worried that Li Kun would not obey, so she stood outside the door with a frown. It wasn't until she heard the sound of hot water pouring inside that she felt relieved, then turned around and went back inside.
She still didn't go to bed. She sat by the bed and waited for a while. Suddenly she remembered that Li Kun didn't take the clothes to change when he went in. She quickly got up and went to the closet, opened the closet and rummaged around inside for a while, and found a I put on my clothes, then took my suitcase and went to the bathroom again.
Dong Qing gently buttoned the door. After hearing the answer inside, she pushed open a crack in the door, put her middle coat on the hanger by the door, lowered her eyes and warned: "After washing, put it on."
"Okay." Li Kun got out of the bathtub after hearing this. Dong Qing blushed when she heard the movement, quickly closed the door, and returned to the inner room.
After a while, Li Kun walked out of the bathroom. He put on the dry middle coat that Dong Qing had just sent in. However, his hair had not yet been wrung out, and the water dripping down from time to time made the clothes wet. .
"Why haven't you gone to bed yet? The ground is cold. Be careful." He came out of the bathroom and saw his wife sitting by the bed, and he said angrily.
Dong Qing glanced at his clothes that were wet again. She didn't respond to his words. Instead, she stood up, took the dry towel from his hand, and said, "Why don't you wring your hair out?" She said, Without any explanation, he pushed Li Kun down on the chair, then took a towel and twisted his hair bit by bit.
Her fingers were slender and her movements were very gentle. They touched his hair one by one, making Li Kun's whole body itch.
The tenderness of his wife at this moment made Li Kun feel comfortable all over. Although Li Kun remembered that his wife was still ill, he was very greedy for her care.
He wanted his wife to lie back in the warm bed, but he didn't want her to leave.
For a time, I felt so conflicted in my heart.
“You are still sick, otherwise, I can do it myself.” Li Kun said hesitantly.
Dong Qing was busy with her hands. Hearing this, he raised his eyes to look at Li Kun and replied: "If you don't wring your hair, it will be uncomfortable to sleep."
“Okay.” Li Kun gave up his inner struggle, leaned on the chair obediently, and let his wife twist his hair.
"Are things going well outside?" Dong Qing asked while busy.
"It went well. They were some skirmishers. I led a group of troops over and dispersed them." As he said that, he looked at his wife and warned, "Although the Gaoshan Kingdom is dead, there is still a mess here. It’s chaotic outside, so don’t go out on weekdays.”
Dong Qing nodded and said, "Your Majesty has sent courtiers here again. These people are here to govern this place. It won't take long for peace to return here."
After saying that, she glanced at Li Kun's expression.
Dong Qing couldn't help but want to ask Li Kun if he would stay here in the future.
She is the eldest daughter-in-law of the palace. Brother Ping has not yet married, so she will naturally stay in the mansion to take care of the family affairs. If Li Kun wants to stay here, then they will have to separate as husband and wife.
Although Dongqing has made this preparation, in her heart, she still wants to be with her husband.
After their quarrel, she did have the thought of divorce, but it was just out of anger.
To be fair, she loves Li Kun.
Furthermore, since coming here and seeing Qing Luo's infatuated love for Li Kun, Dong Qing has understood her own feelings even more.
Her love for her husband was unforgettable and deeply rooted in her bones.
If she wanted to give it up, it would really break her muscles and bones and break her heart.
After listening to his wife's words, Li Kun smiled and sighed: "I also hope for peace here as soon as possible. Although your Majesty is wise and powerful, it only took a year to destroy the Gaoshan Kingdom, but this battle was also really difficult. The sooner there is peace, the sooner everyone is relaxed, the sooner the people here feel at ease."
"What about you?" Dong Qing paused and asked hesitantly, "What are your plans for the future?"
Li Kun glanced at his wife and replied: "As a son of the Li family, I naturally fight for the country. I want to be like the emperor's uncle and become a famous general and my name will go down in history."
Dong Qing looked at her husband's high-spirited look. She endured it and swallowed what she was about to ask.
“Okay, your hair is wringed,” Dong Qing said.
Li Kun stood up from the chair. He turned to face his wife and looked at her with lowered eyes.
The two of them haven't seen each other for more than a year. Just now after he rushed back in a hurry, the two of them had an unpleasant quarrel. Now they have calmed down and faced each other, both of them feeling somewhat awkward.
“It was my fault.” In the end, it was Li Kun who admitted his mistake first.
