Chongfei Manual [Completed]

ch 159

Zhao Jie had been gentle at the beginning of last night. Later on, he had probably remembered Wei Luo's words about getting a divorce and had been intent on punishing on her. Both of his hands had been pressed down on the sides of her head as he leaned over to bit her ear. Each bite was fiercer than the previous one. Wei Luo couldn't endure it and clung to his shoulders while crying for mercy. There were several long scratches on his shoulder and back because of her that still hadn't fade away by morning.

After being tossed around for half a night, Wei Luo woke up the next morning with a sore waist and wobbly legs. She didn't even have the strength to drink her medicine.

Zhao Jie held the blue and white porcelain medicine bowl and helped Wei Luo drink the medicine spoonful by spoonful. After she finished drinking the medicine, he used his thumb to wipe away the medicinal concoction from the corners of her lips.

He asked, "Do you want to skip going to palace to pay respects today?"

Wei Luo raised her large, bright, limpid eyes. She wanted to viciously glare at him, but her eyes showed the love that she felt for him and it wasn't imposing at all. Instead, she only looked cutely spoiled as she said, "Imperial mother would have definitely found out that we summoned a doctor here. If I don't go to the palace to talk with her, she'll have strange and wild thoughts."

In this aspect, Wei Luo was very clever and sensible.

His young girl had considered this matter so thoughtfully. Zhao Jie's heart wanted to pamper her, but he also felt regretful. He rubbed her earlobe, "Do you want me to go with you?"

Wei Luo pushed him away, shook her head, and said, "Don't you have to go to Shen Ji Barracks? I'll go by myself. The empress has always treated me very well, she won't make things difficult for me." These words were meant to comfort not only Zhao Jie, but herself as well.

Zhao Jie smiled and said, "Don't worry. Imperial mother is a reasonable person. She'll understand."

Hearing his words, Wei Luo felt slightly calmer.

Then, he lowered his head to nip at her lips.

She subconsciously inhaled. The place that Zhao Jie had kissed her felt swollen and achy. She took out a small copper mirror that was decorated with flowering peonies from underneath a large red pillow to look at her face. She saw that skin on the corner of her lip was torn. It was red and swollen and very conspicuous. Wei Luo put down the mirror. Flustered and exasperated, Wei Luo asked, "You... How can I go out like this?"

Zhao Jie chuckled, "You can use lipstick to cover it later."

This was her only option. Wei Luo called Yun Gua and Yu Suo inside to assist her in changing her clothes. The weather was cool today because it had rained yesterday. Wei Luo selected a pleated skirt with pearls sewn into an eight-treasure-style pattern and a soft red top. She also had a sachet embroidered with a scroll pattern and a turquoise squirrel waist accessory tied to her waist sash. All in all, she looked refreshing and beautiful.

She sat at the black dressing table that was outlined in gold and had Yu Suo arranged her hair into a ling yun hairstyle. She rarely applied powder to her face when she went out. Her skin was naturally good. Even without applying makeup, her skin was as eye-catching and as lustrous as gems. Most of the time, she would be done after applying eyebrow powder.

However, after she carefully applied a layer of white powder today, she picked up the rouge that been made from pomegranates and lightly dabbed her lips with it. When she was finished, the torn part of her lips wasn't as noticeable anymore.

After she was dressed and was done with her makeup, she unexpectedly saw that Zhao Jie had stopped by the entrance. His phoenix eyes stared at her with an unfathomable gaze.
