L'hibiscus comme peinture

Chapitre 35

Apart from the unconscious girl, everyone present had a darker and darker expression; he was even more like Tang Sanzang than Tang Sanzang himself.

Just as Ao Jun was about to lose his temper, the old military doctor finished speaking very timely and summarized, "It's just these few simple points."

He looked up and saw that everyone wore a look of suppressed anger, two angry glares already making him break out in a cold sweat, and the most terrifying were the other four icy gazes that could freeze a person to death. He immediately realized he'd fallen victim to his professional habit again. Good heavens! It seems his son will be coming to find him soon.

Just as the old military doctor was about to faint, a voice as beautiful as heavenly music pulled him back from the brink of death.

"Come out!" Jinxuan said calmly, his voice slightly weak.

The old army doctor was so grateful that he repeatedly said yes. He wanted to leave as soon as possible, but after seeing Jinxuan's slightly pale face, he still said with concern, "The prince's fever has just subsided, he should rest more." After saying that, he disappeared in a flash as if a ghost was chasing him. Looking at his brisk and nimble steps, you couldn't tell that he was a white-haired old man over sixty years old.

Mo Yueying was even more annoyed. When she first arrived, she was dragging her feet and looked like she couldn't walk anymore. But now, she was running faster than her. It seemed like she was just playing with her.

Hearing the army doctor's words, Ao Jun finally looked up at Jin Xuan, her eyes filled with worry: "Yes! He had such a high fever and was so weak last night, why didn't he rest properly and instead ran around everywhere? Doesn't he know that people are worried about him?"

However, Ao Jun concealed this worry well. Her eyes, when looking at Jin Xuan, remained completely expressionless, revealing nothing of her thoughts. She quickly looked away and then back at the woman on the bed, a complex expression appearing in her clear eyes.

Jin Xuan witnessed every single one of Ao Jun's actions. His already pale face became even more bloodless, and his heart ached terribly: Did she no longer have him in her eyes? Was she no longer worried about him? Was it because of this woman who had suddenly appeared? Or was it because of him?

Silence fell over the tent again. Mo Yueying glanced at the prince, then at her Mo Jun brother, sensing something strange between them, but couldn't quite put her finger on it. She then looked at the 'vixen' lying on her brother's bed and gritted her teeth: Why was she lying there? So what if she was poisoned? And Mo Jun brother hadn't even eaten because of her! Ah! Right, Mo Jun brother hadn't eaten yet!

"Brother, you haven't eaten yet! The food's gotten cold, I'll go heat it up, and we can eat soon." With that, he picked up the lunchbox and headed out.

Before she could even leave the tent, Ao Jun called her back. Yue Ying turned around happily and asked what was wrong. She knew that her brother's heart was still with her. However, what Ao Jun said next shattered her dream.

"Also, prepare a meal for this young lady, but remember, no spicy food," Ao Jun said softly, as if afraid of disturbing someone who was sleeping.

"Fine!" Mo Yueying roared angrily, turned and ran out. The moment she turned, tears welled up in her eyes: How could she treat her like this? How could she change her mind so quickly? Waaah... Weren't you afraid of disturbing her? I'll speak loudly anyway, waaah... That annoying Mo Jun-ge, I hate him, I hate him...

"What's wrong with her?" Looking at Yueying's retreating figure, Aojun asked herself, as if she were asking Jinxuan.

Jin Xuan didn't speak, but just shook his head: "Sigh, she really is a 'heartless and fickle' man!" He glanced at Ao Jun again, and finally walked out silently.

Seeing Jinxuan leave, Aojun had the urge to call out to him, but the words caught in her throat. What good would it do to stop him? Besides, there were still things waiting for her to resolve!

Staring thoughtfully at that beautiful face, a cold smile slowly crept onto his lips: It's time to wake up!

As if on cue, the long eyelashes of the person on the bed fluttered, and their eyes slowly opened.

To be continued.

Staring thoughtfully at that beautiful face, a cold smile slowly crept onto his lips: It's time to wake up!

As if on cue, the long eyelashes of the person on the bed fluttered, and their eyes slowly opened.

Ao Jun immediately resumed his expressionless demeanor and said softly, "Miss is awake?"

"Mmm." The woman on the bed, her large, alluring eyes still hazy, looked at the person before her and responded weakly. Once she regained her senses, she struggled to get up.

"The poison in the young lady has just been cleared, and her body is still very weak. She should not move around too much." As Ao Jun spoke, he placed his hand on the other woman's arm and gently pressed her back onto the bed.

Seeing such a handsome man treating her so gently and so close, the girl blushed like a persimmon, obediently lay down, and said with seductive eyes, "Did you save me, young master?"

"Hmm? I happened to hear your cries for help when I was passing by Qianli Slope. Seeing that you were poisoned, I brought you back." Although his expression didn't change, his tone was unusually gentle.

"Yu'er thanks you for saving my life, young master. If you hadn't happened to be passing by, Yu'er..." Yu'er said gratefully, tears streaming down her face. Her appearance was enough to soften anyone's heart.

"Yu'er? Your name is Yu'er?" Seeing Yu'er nod, Ao Jun continued, "Then why was Yu'er alone there? And how did she get bitten by a snake?"

"Waaah..." As if asked about something sad, Yu'er didn't answer but instead started sobbing.

"Ah! Why are you crying? Be good, don't cry. If you don't want to talk about it, then I won't ask." When Ao Jun saw her crying like this, he became flustered and started to coax her like a child.

"No, young master." Yu'er suddenly sat up and hugged Ao Jun before he could react. She leaned against him and choked out, "Young master saved Yu'er, so you are Yu'er's benefactor. There is nothing Yu'er cannot tell her benefactor, but when Yu'er thinks about her background, she just... sob sob..." She cried softly while intentionally or unintentionally rubbing her full breasts against Ao Jun.

Yu'er's movements were so fluid and seamless! She looked just like a well-trained professional. She didn't look weak at all like someone who had just been poisoned. She was full of energy and in great spirits!

Ao Jun stiffened the moment Yu'er hugged her, but quickly relaxed. One hand embraced the other's slender waist, while the other slowly stroked Yu'er's back, gently patting it as if comforting the person in her arms.

"Young Master." Ao Jun's actions made Yu'er blush, but she pressed herself even closer to him, burying her face in his chest. After a while, she slightly raised her head again, still clinging to him as she recounted her life story: "Yu'er's full name is Murong Yu. I was originally the eldest daughter of the Murong family in Luoyue City, living a happy life. Unexpectedly, the Cangliao Kingdom suddenly invaded, and Yu'er... Yu'er's entire family was killed. Yu'er escaped only with the help of a loyal servant, but the servant also died, leaving Yu'er all alone. Yu'er is so scared! Many people want to bully Yu'er, Yu'er's belly..." "I was very hungry, but I had no money. Later, a kind uncle said he would take me to eat something delicious, but... Waaah... He was a bad man. He sold me to Yichun Garden. The madam forced me to serve customers, but I refused. She then had me beaten until my skin was torn and bleeding. Later, I pretended to agree to serve customers, but unexpectedly, I was bitten by a poisonous snake halfway there. I thought I was going to die this time, but I never expected to meet you, young master." As she spoke, her body trembled uncontrollably, as if she still had lingering fears from those terrible memories, but her tearful eyes looked at Ao Jun with a tender gaze.

What a cheesy story! Can't you come up with something fresh? Is the next line going to be, "I have nothing to repay you with, so I'll offer myself to you"? Though she thought this in her heart, on the surface she acted as if she was heartbroken, gently stroking Yu'er's hair and trying to soften her voice as much as possible, saying, "It's alright, that will never happen again. As long as I, Mo Jun, am here, no one will dare to bully you anymore." It took a lot of effort for her not to vomit out such disgusting words.

"Mo Jun? You are Mo Jun?" Upon hearing this, Yu'er suddenly lifted her head from Ao Jun's embrace and asked incredulously.

"What's wrong?" Ao Jun asked, puzzled. Why would Mo Jun be so surprised?

"You are the peerless, breathtakingly beautiful, heaven-sent celestial being who outshines the world, possesses unparalleled wisdom, divine insight, and uncanny foresight. You are the greatest strategist in the world, knowing everything from astronomy to geography, ancient and modern times, and strategizing to win battles from afar—the greatest strategist in the world—Mo Jun?" Yu'er said in one breath.

"Right!" After a long while, Ao Jun realized from her string of words that her alias was indeed Mo Jun! But was she the person she was talking about? No, should I say, was the person she was talking about even a person? Even a god wouldn't be this powerful!

"Military Advisor Mo, I have truly met the greatest military strategist in the world. Military Advisor Mo, I admire you so much!" Yu'er said, her eyes sparkling with red hearts. Her intense admiration was so palpable that even Ao Jun, whose emotional intelligence was practically nonexistent, could clearly sense it.

"Mo Jun is just an ordinary person, not as powerful as Yu'er said," Ao Jun said modestly.

"No, it wasn't me who said it, it's what everyone agrees on. Yu'er only learned about Strategist Mo from others," Yu'er said, shaking her head.

"Publicly recognized?" Ao Jun couldn't help but repeat, what did she have that everyone could agree on?

"Don't you know, strategist? The storytellers in the city are talking every day about how you defeated an enemy army of 50,000 with only 10,000 soldiers, how you outwitted the enemy, and how you strategized. The people talk about your deeds every day. You are now an omnipotent god in the hearts of all the people, and also... also the ideal husband in the hearts of all young girls." After that, almost every sentence was spoken to herself, but Ao Jun, who was so close to her, still heard it.

"Cough... Is that so?" Upon hearing her words, Ao Jun could only cough lightly and gloss over it. So that's how she became famous. But sometimes being famous isn't a good thing; trouble comes with fame.

Hearing Ao Jun's question, Yu'er thought that she did not believe her, so she immediately nodded heavily and said seriously, "What Yu'er said is all true. If the strategist does not believe it, you can go into the city and see for yourself. Yu'er really did not lie to you."

"I know Yu'er isn't lying to me, don't be nervous, hehe..." Ao Jun chuckled. His usually cold face softened. Yu'er was instantly stunned.
