Li Shimin faked his death? Then I will be powerful enough to conquer the world!

Chapter 254 People should look forward

As the sky grew darker, Qin Ruzhao still stood guard at the door of Jiang Lai's house.

His eyes were bloodshot and full of fatigue. His body was shaking slightly. He was extremely tired.

He sat on the stone pier, his back slightly hunched, all the strength in his body drained away by the endless sleepiness.

My head shook uncontrollably as I felt sleepy.

His parents asked him to go home early and rest.

Qin Ruzhao just waved his hand weakly and refused.

If he went home and fell into a deep sleep now, he would be too energetic to fall asleep at night. How could he allow any mistakes in his official duties the next day?

He must not delay His Majesty's business because of a momentary sleepiness.

Moreover, even if he was just waiting silently at the door of Jiang Lai's house, it would bring him one step closer to his sweetheart, which made him feel comforted.

In order to make that brocade robe, Jiang Lai worked day and night, and endured countless lonely and long nights.

Every stitch and thread on that brocade robe reflected her painstaking efforts.

What is embroidered is not only the heroic names of the sacrificed soldiers, but also her sincere love for herself.

Thinking of this, Qin Ruzhao slowly stroked the brocade robe, his fingertips gently caressing the names.

He was just lost in his own thoughts as he heard the noise coming from the alley.

Until Li Chengqian and Mr. Qi appeared before him in a grand manner, surrounded by a group of villagers.

Qin Ruzhao suddenly woke up and stood up hurriedly. In a panic, he clasped his hands together and saluted. His voice was filled with surprise: "Your Majesty, Grand Tutor Qi, why are you here?"

Li Chengqian looked up and his eyes fell on Qin Ruzhao's forehead. He couldn't help but frown slightly, full of heartache, and called softly, "Come here."

Qin Ruzhao did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. He lowered his head and walked in front of Li Chengqian with a slightly staggering step.

Li Chengqian slowly stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Qin Ruzhao's cheek. The touch was icy and cold, making his heart tighten.

Then, his gaze fell on the dark blue blood mark on Qin Ruzhao's forehead, and he asked in a low voice, "You didn't sleep last night, did you?"

Qin Ruzhao nodded silently and replied in a low voice: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Chengqian asked again with concern: "Does it hurt?"

Qin Ruzhao shook his head subconsciously and answered firmly: "It doesn't hurt, Your Majesty."

Li Chengqian was slightly startled and asked, "Doesn't it hurt?"

After saying that, he increased the strength of his hand, pressed hard on the blood mark, and asked again: "Does it hurt?"

Qin Ruzhao gritted his teeth, veins popping out on his forehead, but he still stubbornly replied, "It doesn't hurt."

Li Chengqian was so angry that he laughed when he saw him showing off like this.

This guy is really tough.

Mr. Qi, who was standing by, saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly winked at everyone.

Qin Ruzhao finally woke up from his dream and said quickly, "Your Majesty, it hurts!"

Li Chengqian glanced at him calmly and warned him earnestly, "It's good that you feel the pain. Don't be so reckless and impulsive in the future. You must plan carefully before you act, and never fight a battle without confidence. Do you understand?"

Qin Ruzhao nodded quickly and responded sincerely: "Your Majesty, I understand."

Li Chengqian looked around and asked, "Where's Jiang Lai?"

Qin Ruzhao quickly replied, "Your Majesty, Jiang Lai embroidered a brocade robe for me, and all the names of the heroic soldiers who sacrificed their lives on it are embroidered on it."

"She has been working day and night these past few days and hasn't had a good rest. She's still fast asleep. I'll be guarding here at the door."

Li Chengqian listened to him and his eyes fell on the brocade robe he was wearing. He examined it carefully for a long time and nodded slightly in admiration: "She really has good intentions."

After a brief pause, he continued, "Since she is still sleeping, wait until she wakes up and ask her to come see me."

"Also, you don't need to guard this place anymore, go home and rest quickly."

"Don't take advantage of your youth and strength to squander your body. When you are old and frail, you will regret it."

"Go home and have a good sleep."

"Don't feel so guilty. Your method can't bring the dead back to life."

“People need to look forward.”

When Qin Ruzhao heard this, he paused slightly, his face showing hesitation, but he quickly nodded and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Just as he finished speaking, the door of Jiang Lai's room slowly opened. She was dressed in plain clothes, her face looked a little haggard, and she walked out with light lotus steps.

She bowed deeply to Li Chengqian and Mr. Qi, and said softly, "I greet your Majesty and Mr. Qi."

Li Chengqian nodded slightly, his eyes lingering on Jiang Lai. Seeing her becoming more gentle and charming, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Girls really change a lot when they grow up. Time has sculpted them. The little girl who was like a little coal ball in the past has now grown into such a graceful young lady."

"Ru Zhao, it is your great fortune to have such a beautiful woman by your side. You must not let her down in the future."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ruzhao straightened his back and responded with a firm look, "Yes!"

Jiang Lai's face was slightly pale, a sign of lack of sleep. She said softly, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. It's freezing outside, but it's still relatively warm here."

"If your Majesty does not mind the humbleness of my home, I would like to invite you inside to discuss your details."
