Chapter 1430: Chapter 1431: I Will Kill Him

Challenge them?

An Jing instantly burst into laughter: ”You actually just want to know who their Great General is, don’t you?”

Xiao Changyi didn’t reply. He simply said five words: ”I will kill him.” His wife had not only been beaten and scolded by that man but also forced to kneel before him. If he didn’t personally kill that man, the fury in his heart would never be quenched!

An Jing knelt on the bed, carefully avoiding touching her injured hands as she wrapped her arms around Xiao Changyi’s neck. She laughed playfully: ”Do it. That guy looks like a cruel brute—killing him would be justified.”

Xiao Changyi held An Jing’s waist, pulling her closer into his embrace, and sealed her lips with his own.

She was back now; he no longer had to worry.

In this moment, his heart felt at peace.

Yet, even with this sense of peace, the longing accumulated over two sleepless days made the kiss deeply fervent.

Just as the two were about to lose control, there was a knock at the door.

Immediately afterward, Qin Yi’s voice sounded: ”Madam, the medicine is ready. Doctor Zhu said to drink it while it’s hot; if it gets cold, it’ll taste even more bitter and be harder to swallow.”

An Jing and Xiao Changyi both knew the medicine was to treat her cold and infection. Without hesitation, Xiao Changyi left An Jing’s lips, strode to the door, and took the medicine bowl from Qin Yi’s hands.

Then, he closed the door.

After walking back and sitting beside An Jing, Xiao Changyi began feeding her the medicine.

Once she finished drinking, the bitterness was unbearable for An Jing, who kept sticking out her tongue. Eventually, unable to endure the taste any longer, An Jing simply pressed her lips against Xiao Changyi’s, transferring a bit of the bitterness to him.

Xiao Changyi accepted it willingly, as if it were sweet nectar.

Only when most of the unpleasant taste was gone from her mouth did An Jing pull back from Xiao Changyi’s lips, bursting into laughter as she gazed at him.

Seeing the dark circles around An Jing’s eyes, Xiao Changyi assumed she hadn’t rested well during the past few days outside, so he gently helped her lie down and pulled the blanket over her.

”Right now, don’t do anything with your hands, and don’t touch anything. If you need something or want to do something, ask me for help; if I’m not here, call Qin Yi. He’ll be right outside.”

”Alright.” An Jing obediently agreed. She definitely didn’t want her hands to become permanently incapacitated.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Changyi still felt it wasn’t ideal. ”I’ll have Wild Goose Jade look after you instead. You’re both women, unlike Qin Yi who’s a man. There are some things you might feel uncomfortable discussing with him.”

”Isn’t this a little inappropriate...” Though it was indeed more convenient, An Jing still felt uneasy about it. It seemed like using public resources for personal gain. Besides, Wild Goose Jade wasn’t just a regular soldier—she was a Commandery Princess...

”What’s inappropriate about it? Yesterday, Meng Zhuqing spoke to me explicitly, asking me to transfer Wild Goose Jade to be your guard, so she can follow you every day. That way, he’d get to see Wild Goose Jade more often. He also mentioned that the reason Tobanya joined the military in the first place was because of him. She didn’t want to be left at home, waiting while he went off to battle. The timing is perfect now.”

Upon hearing this, An Jing finally smiled: ”Then let Wild Goose Jade follow me and protect me every day.”

If Tobanya followed her and Meng Zhuqing followed her husband, that couple would get to see each other daily. It was really nice.

Of course, she wanted to make that happen.

”Get a good sleep; you’re exhausted too.” Xiao Changyi then urged An Jing to close her eyes and rest.

”What about you?”

”Once you’ve fallen asleep, I’ll head to the military camp for a while.” After a pause, he added, ”For now, don’t worry about anything—just focus on recovering. As for everything else, leave it to me.” He was determined to conquer Jingye City, so that the suffering his wife had endured wouldn’t be in vain!
