Her face flushed even more with embarrassment under his gaze. "Enough, come out," she said simply, hoping he would let her go.
He nodded, seemingly very seriously, "Hmm." Then, smiling, he deftly moved the wheelchair towards the bed. "Are you hungry?"
She gently shook her head. This cunning man always seemed to say one thing and do another when it came to this matter, yet she always ended up falling for his tricks. Perhaps this was the nature of marriage, love, and affection.
Ji Wushang sensed that he seemed to be acting strangely, and immediately opened her eyes wide, her face turning red with embarrassment. "Um, please step back first."
"Hmm, wait a minute." Nan Xuzong slowly withdrew, a hint of embarrassment on his face. This time, she had actually left his essence inside. That was what had driven him even more wildly.
Seeing the discharge, Ji Wushang blushed deeply with embarrassment. She tried to walk away, but her legs felt weak. He quickly pulled her to the bed. "What are you going to do? Hmm? It's time to go to bed."
"I...I'm still hungry." Ji Wushang was afraid that he would misunderstand again, so he could only point to his stomach.
"My child should be here, right?" Nan Xuzong looked at her, his hand gently touching her lower abdomen. His palm was warm, and the warmth went into his heart.
"It can't be that fast." Ji Wushang blushed and turned away. "I'm going to get something to eat."
"Eat in bed." He smiled wickedly, thinking to himself, if I don't make a good effort today, she might not allow me to give her everything tomorrow!
"What are you talking about?" Ji Wushang pushed him away and exclaimed softly, "At least my dear wife, shouldn't you serve your husband to bed to rest first? Um, I'm a little tired." Nan Xuzong was definitely a cunning person, and at this moment his face was full of bitterness and grievance.
Seeing him like this, Ji Wushang was easily softened. "Okay, you'll cooperate."
Despite the soreness, she helped the big man to the bed, then sat him up and positioned his legs. Just as she was about to turn around to eat, he exclaimed, "Wu Shang!"
"Huh?" Before she could even utter a sound, Ji Wushang was already pulled onto the bed by him. She fell onto him, bumping against his chest, and he let out a gasp of surprise, "Oh."
Ji Wushang scrambled to his feet and grabbed her tightly, calling out, "Wushang."
That gentle voice warmed her heart and transformed into tender feelings. She looked at him, and he looked at her. Their eyes met, as if they had so much to say, yet for a moment, they couldn't express it. It was as if all sorts of endless emotions were intertwined, leaving them speechless.
He held her tightly in his arms, "Wu Shang."
"Mmm." Ji Wushang nestled against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat. "Your heart is beating so fast."
"That's because I love you, that's why my heart beats so fast." Nan Xuzong smiled and looked down. "Aren't you hungry? Look, aren't these snacks delicious?" As he spoke, he gestured to the snacks he was holding. Ji Wushang was surprised. His ability to absorb things with his internal energy was getting stronger and stronger, and he didn't even know why!
Looking at the exquisite pastries, Ji Wushang's stomach growled even more, especially after the intense exercise. "Hmm."
She got up and took the pastry from his hand to eat. Nan Xuzong lay on the bed, resting her head on her arm, watching Ji Wushang greedily finish the pastry. Only when she was eating the last bite did she notice that the man had been watching her the whole time, so she said, "Want a bite? Are you hungry?"
Nan Xuzong opened his thin lips, gesturing for her to put it in his mouth.
Ji Wushang smiled, put the plate down, and then stuffed it into his mouth. He gently bit the pastry, but in an instant, he pressed her down on the bed. She couldn't see his movements at all!
"you?"
He fed her the snacks, and they ate together, their mouths churning. Finally, he tasted her beautiful cherry lips, his tongue moving nimbly, stimulating her senses.
Wasn't his leg not very mobile? How could he be pressing down on me! Ji Wushang's mind was in turmoil, but he forced himself to stop thinking wildly. He grinned wickedly and pulled his already loosely buttoned clothes up again, covering me with his burning heat. "Focus."
"Mmm." Ji Wushang let out an almost inaudible sound, yet it transformed into an invisible aphrodisiac, unwittingly tempting him and causing him to endlessly succumb. His body, the body of a celestial being, seemed to be created by heaven, merging with her like the sun and moon.
She was moved by everything he did, and unintentionally grabbed his back, which only gave him more stimulation. He became even more frenzied and insatiable.
Ji Wushang didn't know when she fell asleep, nor when he had taken care of her body and applied some ointment. However, when the sun rose and she opened her eyes, he was no longer there.
The bed became empty, and so did my heart.
But there, within his reach by the bed, hung his clothes. Ji Wushang picked them up and saw a letter on them.
Open it quickly.
"I cannot bear to part with you, so I bid you farewell at dawn. I hope you take good care of yourself, and I will definitely return in three days." The inscription was signed by Nan Xuzong.
Ji Wushang put the letter back into the envelope and clutched it tightly to his heart. "I'll wait for you."
After a long while, she composed herself, dressed, and got out of bed. She heard Zhu'er calling from outside, "Miss, you're awake?"
"Okay, come in!" Ji Wushang composed himself, placed the letter in a secluded spot, and then let Zhu'er in.
Zhu'er looked at Ji Wushang and said, "The young master said that Miss should not worry, he will be back soon."
"I know." Ji Wushang nodded, finished washing up, and then went to the main hall to have his meal.
"Sister-in-law is here?" Ji Yinxue greeted Ji Wushang with a smile. Ji Wushang smiled back, "Father, good morning to all the aunts."
"Coming so late, the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion is really something else! Is she trying to save face for us?" Nan Xianxian snorted coldly and sat there sulking.
"I wasn't feeling well, so I got up a little late and kept everyone waiting. It's my fault, Wu Shang. I apologize to everyone." Ji Wu Shang said, bowing respectfully.
The Marquis of Jinnan looked at her and smiled, "Xian'er was just joking, Wushang, don't take it seriously. Wushang, sit down."
What a joke! I just heard that General Ji Dingbei has taken control of 200,000 troops in the Northeast! If I'm not polite to Ji Wushang and Ji Dingbei finds out, won't his army crush me? He already controls troops in the Western Regions and the southeast coast, and now he has the Northeast army. Anyone would know to curry favor with him!
The Marquis of Jinnan's face was full of friendliness. "Come, add some dishes for the Crown Princess."
Ji Wushang smiled. This person changes quite quickly, not bad.
"Thank you, Father." Ji Wushang naturally knew how to express his gratitude.
Nan Xianxian snorted coldly.
Breakfast is simply eaten at a temperature that is neither too hot nor too cold.
Ji Wushang was worried about Nan Xuzong, so he stayed in Moxuan Garden and did not go out.
But in the afternoon, they heard Pearl running in from outside, "Miss, Miss!"
Ji Wushang looked up from his desk. "What's wrong?"
"Miss, word has come from the palace that you and several young ladies from the household who are about to come of age are invited to a banquet in the Imperial Garden."
"Why?" This banquet in the Imperial Garden has nothing to do with me, right? No, it seems that Nan Xuzong once said that Yiyun Shangcheng would be going to the palace in the next few days to discuss border affairs and development with the Emperor?
"It's the King of the Western Regions! He's so young!" Zhu'er smiled, her face full of infatuation. "The King of the Western Regions wanted to have some fun with everyone, so His Majesty issued the decree."
"Okay then!" Ji Wushang nodded. He already knew he couldn't escape, so he had to come up with a foolproof plan.
"Wait, let me change my clothes," Ji Wushang said, then went into the house, changed into a light green silk robe and a white jacket, styled his hair in a flowing cloud bun, and looked simple and elegant without makeup.
He took out some medicine from the cabinet, and put the ones that caught his eye into his pocket or between his fingernails.
My heart was pounding.
Ji Wushang smiled at himself in the mirror before going outside. Seeing Zhu'er waiting, he said, "Let's go!"
☆、163 What? Didn't I say I was going to kill you?
Sitting in the carriage, Ji Wushang's worries did not diminish at all. He had a feeling that something was about to happen, and he was a little scared and at a loss.
Zhu'er looked at Ji Wushang and noticed that she seemed to have some cold sweat on her forehead, so she asked, "Miss, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"I'm fine, just a little nervous, it's nothing." Ji Wushang suppressed his nervousness, hoping that he was just worrying too much. Actually, it was nothing serious. Yiyun Shangcheng wasn't some kind of three-headed, six-armed demon, so why be so afraid of him?
Smile.
Ji Wushang calmed himself down, lifted the curtain, and looked at the street scene outside. He saw the coachman focused on driving the carriage, followed by a few guards. People were coming and going on the street, each doing their business peacefully. In the corners, a few children were playing and laughing. Looking at this, Ji Wushang felt much better and lowered the curtain.
Zhu'er was relieved to see that Ji Wushang was no longer as nervous as before.
——
Looking at Beigong Jueshi, who had been unconscious for a day and a night, Yi Yun Muchen was anxious but didn't know what to do. The doctors who had come to see him said that whether he could wake up depended on his willpower.
Yi Yunmu Chen sent all the doctors away, leaving only herself and him. She sat by his bedside, holding his hand tightly, never thinking of letting go.
"Princess, would you like to have your meal first?" At this moment, Murs, who had changed into a linen robe, came forward, followed by two maids in linen robes carrying the food.
"I don't want to eat. I won't eat until he wakes up." Yi Yun Muchen didn't even raise her head, her eyes fixed on Bei Gong Jue Shi.
“Princess, the King has ordered me to take good care of you. Therefore, please do not make things difficult for me and have your meal.” Murs did not give up after hearing her words. He crossed his arms and said, “Please have your meal, Your Highness. Although the Prince Consort has not yet woken up, he will be even more distressed if he sees that Your Highness has become thin or sick because you are not eating.”
As Yi Yunmu Chen listened, a hint of astonishment crossed his face. Yes, he had to take good care of himself first before he could take good care of Jue Shi!
"Set it up." Yi Yun Muchen said calmly, then touched Bei Gong Jue Shi's face. Because he hadn't woken up for a day or two and hadn't moved due to hunger, Bei Gong Jue Shi looked much thinner, and his stubble had grown longer, making him look somewhat wild.
Yi Yun Muchen ate his dinner with great care before letting Muers leave. He then had Muers examine the doctor again, fed Bei Gong Jueshi his medicine, and finally dismissed the others.
Mulls walked out, closed the door, but looked at Yi Yunmu Chen inside the room.
May the princess cherish this happiness. The prince consort cannot awaken… Even this is beyond Murs's power; he had no choice but to do as the king commanded. Murs is absolutely loyal to the king and will never betray him; therefore, please forgive him, Your Highness!
Moore knelt down at the door and kowtowed three times before leaving.
Yi Yun Muchen stayed by Bei Gong Jue Shi's side the whole time. Even when she was tired, she refused to rest and just lay down by his bedside for a short nap.
"Peerless, wake up, please..." she murmured as Yi Yun Muchen lay down beside the bed and quietly fell asleep.
The night breeze blew in, stirring the light gauze curtains. It was quiet, and only occasionally, the patrolling of Mulls's guards would bring a slight sound.
The curtains moved slightly, and a person in a wheelchair was pushed out from inside. It was Gong Shu who was helping to push Nan Xuzong's wheelchair. The voice was soft, and for someone like Yi Yun Muchen who only knew how to use Gu poison and did not know martial arts, there was absolutely no way he would notice that someone was coming.
"Press her acupoints to help her fall asleep," Nan Xuzong said softly.
Gong Shu nodded, immediately stepped forward, pressed Yi Yun Muchen's sleeping acupoint, then picked her up and placed her on the chaise lounge, covering her with a blanket.
Nan Xuzong wheeled himself forward, and at that moment Gong Shu had already come over, saying, "Master."
"Help him up, I need to administer medicine to him." Nan Xuzong pursed his lips slightly. Damn it, he could tell something was wrong just by looking at his face. If he continued like this, he might not even survive. What exactly is Yiyun Shangcheng planning? Is it to turn Beigong Jueshi into a demon? So that he can help him seize the world? He needs to find some time to investigate and find out what his purpose is!
Gong Shu responded and immediately stepped forward to help Bei Gong Jue Shi up, making him sit cross-legged. Following Nan Xu Cong's example, he took off Bei Gong Jue Shi's upper clothes and tied his slightly curly, wine-red hair behind his head.
They also prepared a lot of medicine and put it aside, ready to receive Nan Xuzong's instructions at any time.
Nan Xuzong unfurled a golden thread and placed it on Bei Gongjueshi's wrist. He gently squeezed it, listening to the golden thread to discern her condition.
Nan Xuzong pulled out several silver needles from a bag of silver needles that Gong Shu had laid out to the side, and inserted them one by one into several acupoints on his body, using the gold thread to apply medicine to him...
Having finally withdrawn his last bit of power, Nan Xuzong felt utterly exhausted. Gong Shu immediately stepped forward, poured some medicine from a bottle, and handed it to Nan Xuzong. After taking the medicine and meditating for a while, Nan Xuzong opened his starry eyes. "Help him to sleep. After he wakes up, we'll see how he is. He should be fine now."
"I'm fine." Upon hearing this, Gong Shu and Nan Xuzong were both startled. Looking at Bei Gong Jueshi, who opened his unusual eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips, he said to Nan Xuzong and Gong Shu, "Young Master Nan, how have you been?" Strictly speaking, the two had never met. However, only a handful of people could enter and leave the Western Regions General's Mansion with such power, and who else could this man in the wheelchair be but Nan Xuzong?
"Hmm." Nan Xuzong smiled. His heterochromatic eyes were unique in the world, and he was easily recognizable. Perhaps that's why his father named him Jueshi (meaning "peerless").
"Thank you for saving me, Prince Nan." Bei Gong Jue Shi looked refreshed, without a trace of injury. He picked up the white shirt from the bedside and put it on quickly. "You should leave now," he said, his thin lips moving slightly as a kind reminder.
"You're not coming with us? It's dangerous for you to stay here. Take the princess and come with us!" Nan Xuzong glanced in Yi Yun Muchen's direction. "You should clear her name."
“She…” Bei Gong Jue Shi hesitated for a moment, and was about to kneel in front of Nan Xu Cong, but Nan Xu Cong gently helped him up, “No need to kneel, I know what you’re thinking.”
“The poison in her body is not difficult to cure. There is no need for you to continue to be controlled by the King of the Western Regions.” Nan Xuzong saw a hint of surprise in his eyes. “You are not suitable to stay here. Your demonic nature has been awakened. If you do not control it, you will go astray.”
Bei Gong Jue Shi was startled. "So you came to save me?"
