On June 24, the sixth year of Tianxiang calendar, Qi Mo and his party passed through the Lihe Mountains and entered the territory of Northern Qi along the branch of Chishui River. After a short rest, they prepared to charter a boat to go upstream.【】
The Chishui River is the longest and longest river in the Northern Qi Dynasty. It always has two main branches, one is prosperous and the other is bleak. Its source is located in the Tianshan Mountain, the highest mountain in the mainland.
Zhong Qingye once used this river to travel all the way down from the Northern Qi Dynasty to the Eastern Shang Dynasty. At that time, she didn't know where her answer was, nor did she know how long she would wander around like this without any purpose. Things happen to people, and she didn't expect it.
In less than a month, she would actually set foot on the river again accompanied by Qi Mo.
A large wooden boat that could carry fifty or sixty people went upstream, and the waves receded. Zhong Qingye sat alone on the stilt bow of the wooden boat. The sun was shining brightly, and the broken waves gave off a bright silver light.
In the distance, several snow-white water birds spread their wings and kept gliding against the water. From time to time, birds flew up to the sky, holding silvery fish in their long beaks. The sound of water made the world quiet.
good.
After riding a horse for several days, the jolting was very uncomfortable. I don’t know why, but even with Qi Mo’s help from time to time, Zhong Qingye always felt very tired. At this moment, the sun was shining, and she felt lazy and grew tired.
He stretched out, leaned back, and lay down on the deck of the bow of the ship. The cool river breeze was blowing, and the golden light above his head was warm. He felt a little tired and wanted to fall asleep.
Anyway, there is nothing going on now, and Qi Mo doesn't allow her to worry too much. He has long ago ordered that no news, whether it is from Northern Qi or Dong Shang, should be told to her. As a result, Zhong Qingye is very preoccupied now. Anyway, he is not aware of the situation.
Her eyes darkened, and she simply allowed herself to be lazy. After running around for so long, she regarded it as a holiday for herself.
Gradually, she became more and more sleepy, and her eyelids were a little too heavy. She squinted her eyelashes, turned her head to avoid direct sunlight, and just took a sunbathing carelessly.
It is indeed true that comfort makes people tired...
He was sleeping hazily when he suddenly heard the sound of light footsteps. Zhong Qingye frowned and instinctively wanted to wake up. Unexpectedly, his eyelids were tightly closed and he could not open them no matter how hard he struggled.
Her heart suddenly became anxious, and she tried desperately to open her eyes, but all the strength in her body seemed to have been taken away by some force, and she was so limp that she seemed to have no bones. No matter how hard she tried, she could not open her eyes.
I felt my body being gently lifted up by someone, leaning against a strong chest, and there was a clear and powerful heartbeat in my ears. This sound was very familiar to Zhong Qingye, and it kept lingering in my ears every night these days.
It's Qi Mo...
The originally anxious heart was like a long-dried seedling suddenly being moistened by the rain. Suddenly it calmed down. She breathed a long sigh of relief in her heart. After waiting for a while, her strength gradually recovered, and she slowly opened the door.
Eye.
Qi Mo was looking down at her, and the woman who woke up from a trance, her eyes were not as bright as before, with a hint of mist in her eyes, but they were more and more attractive.
As if she still couldn't figure out the situation, she looked at Qi Mo blankly for a while, then suddenly shook her head hard, sat up from his arms, stretched out her hand to rub her eyes, with that confused look, Qi Mo was heartbroken.
She was so soft that I wanted to rub her into my body and hide her tightly.
"Are you tired?" He stretched out his hand, gently wrapped his arms around her shoulders, pulled her body back into his embrace, and carefully protected her.
Zhong Qingye leaned against his chest in defiance, his starry eyes half-closed, and his voice was full of laziness after waking up, as cute as a cat. "It's a bit."
"Would you like to go back to your room and take a rest?"
"No." Zhong Qingye shook his head hurriedly, stretched out his hand and grabbed his clothes consciously, "The weather is so nice, it would be a shame to sleep."
Qi Mo laughed softly, looking at her face that was slightly pale for some reason. The fatigue was very obvious on her face. He hugged her tighter in distress. Before he could speak, Zhong Qingye suddenly coughed violently.
.
"Cough cough...cough cough cough...cough..."
She coughed so hard that she suddenly broke away from Qi Mo's arms. Her originally pale face suddenly turned red. Her slender fingers trembled slightly and she covered her mouth and nose. The fierce coughs continued from
Fingers show through.
Qi Mo was startled and hurriedly came over, holding her chest with one hand and patting her back gently with the other. He frowned at her and asked anxiously: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Zhong Qingye was coughing so much that he couldn't even breathe, so how could he bother to answer his questions? His eyebrows were tightly knitted into a tight knot on his forehead, and his face was abnormally flushed.
Covering his mouth with one hand and supporting the ground with the other, his body was trembling slightly, which was a bit shocking.
Qi Mo's eyebrows gradually tightened. He turned around and wanted to call the doctor, but suddenly remembered that he was not in Prince Rui's palace. Who would take a doctor with him when traveling?
damn it!
Qi Mo was extremely upset for a moment, but had no choice but to turn around and continue to give Zhong Qingye some relief.
Zhong Qingye's cough came suddenly and went away quickly. It stopped after a while. Although it was only for a short time, she felt as if she had experienced a big battle. She put her hands on the ground and gasped for breath. There were even lines on her forehead.
A glistening cold sweat broke out.
Seeing that she seemed to be getting better, Qi Mo hurriedly pulled her into his arms. Seeing her panting, his heart couldn't help but ache. "What's wrong? Why are you coughing so hard?"
"Prince! Princess!" Red Eagle's scream suddenly came over. Qi Mo turned around and saw him running over with a nervous look on his face. He knelt down beside the two of them and asked anxiously: "What's going on? What's going on?
Suddenly coughing so hard? I heard it in the cabin."
Zhong Qingye rested for a while and finally regained his breath. The abnormal flush on his face slowly faded away, revealing his originally fair to sickly skin. He wiped the sweat from his head and showed a tired smile. "
I'm fine, I just feel a little uncomfortable in my throat."
Qi Mo narrowed his eyes: "When did you start coughing?"
Zhong Qingye was stunned, then narrowed his eyes and thought for a while. "I can't remember when it started. It seems to have been a while. Don't worry, it's just a cough. It's not a big problem."
"A cough like that just now?" Qi Mo's voice sounded a little scary.
"No." Zhong Qingye shook his head and replied honestly: "This is the first time I've coughed like this."
