Chapter 359 My brother is really stubborn.
Su Fuliu paused, looking equally bewildered: "I...I don't know. My voice went hoarse after I woke up."
Bai Yulang poured some medicinal wine onto his back, and while rubbing it, he said, "Usually, when your voice becomes hoarse, it's because you've overused it, either by talking a lot or by shouting for a long time. But Brother Liu isn't like that; he doesn't talk a lot or shout."
"Yulang, concentrate," Lu Chimo reminded him.
Bai Yulang immediately shut his mouth, but he thought to himself, "He didn't seem to have said anything, did he?"
Then, Lu Chimo looked at Feng Muting and noticed several scratch marks on Feng Muting's neck, and immediately understood what was going on.
"Your Highness's neck wound also needs some medicine, otherwise it will become infected."
Upon hearing Lu Chimo's words, Feng Muting looked at him and then remembered that he also had an injury on his neck. He had been so worried about Su Fuliu that he had forgotten that his neck injury was still hurting.
Su Fuliu and Bai Yulang both looked at Feng Muting and found that there were indeed several conspicuous scratches on his neck.
Bai Yulang couldn't help but say, "Brother Liu, you...you're so crazy? Oh no, I should say your prince is too amazing, making you lose control. I was wondering why your voice was hoarse. So that's how you got hoarse. How intense must it have been?"
"Yu Lang!" Lu Chi Mo called out.
Bai Yulang realized he had spoken out of turn, so he immediately pursed his lips and didn't utter another sound. He then obediently began to massage Su Fuliu.
Su Fuliu then remembered that he had been poisoned with the aphrodisiac before losing consciousness. How could he not know what a person poisoned with the aphrodisiac would be like?
At that time, he had been holding on, and finally waited for Feng Muting before his consciousness completely dissipated. After that, Feng Muting picked him up, and his tense nerves relaxed instantly, and he could no longer control the effects of the charm powder.
Although he didn't remember what happened after that, he could imagine how frantically he demanded things from Feng Muting after he was carried back.
His voice was hoarse from shouting; how could the scene not be intense?
But... the way he shouted, the entire palace probably heard it...
Thinking of this, Su Fuliu's face flushed instantly.
It wasn't convenient to cover his head with the blanket, so he could only awkwardly pick up the soft pillow under his head and cover it with it.
"Ah Liu, don't cover it up, or you won't be able to breathe." Feng Muting knew that Su Fuliu was embarrassed again, but what if Su Fuliu suffocated because she was covering herself up like this?
"Don't speak, don't pay attention to me," Su Fuliu replied, then continued to cover her head with the pillow.
Feng Muting looked helpless, then glanced at Bai Yulang.
Bai Yulang felt incredibly guilty, like a child who had done something wrong.
Lu Chimo quickly said, "Your Highness, please come and sit down. I'll help you apply the medicine."
Feng Muting ultimately said nothing and simply went over and sat down.
Meanwhile, Xie Chen, who had just received the flogging, was lying on his bed.
Su Yan took the ointment from the physician and was applying it to him.
Xie Chen laughed and said, "Why do you look like you're about to cry, brother? I'm fine. I'm tough and thick-skinned. A beating won't hurt me."
"If anyone cries, you're the one who gets beaten up. Why should I cry?" Su Yan retorted stubbornly.
But actually, he felt heartbroken when he saw Xie Chen's chest and abdomen covered in whip marks.
It should be noted that Xie Chen still had a wound on his abdomen from being hit by a hidden weapon.
"Brother is so stubborn. It wouldn't hurt to say you're worried about me or feel sorry for me," Xie Chen said, sounding a little aggrieved.
Chapter 360 Xie Chen, you little bastard!
Su Yan glanced at Xie Chen but didn't say anything, continuing to focus on applying the medicine to him.
However, since he was rubbing the chest area, Su Yan's hand could easily accidentally touch places he shouldn't.
Originally, it wouldn't have been a big deal, but now that they're together, being in a place like this gives off a somewhat... ambiguous vibe.
Xie Chen looked at Su Yan, who looked embarrassed, and laughed: "Brother is blushing."
"No, I didn't," Su Yan retorted.
"Brother, you did that on purpose, didn't you?" Xie Chen teased again.
Upon hearing this, Su Yan immediately replied, "I didn't do it on purpose! Why would I do that on purpose?!"
"My brother is getting anxious."
"If you keep nagging, I won't apply the medicine for you anymore, you can apply it yourself!" Su Yan said angrily.
"Alright, alright, I won't say anymore. So... Brother, when will you be able to erase the shadow of being injured by the sword sheath?" Xie Chen asked.
Su Yan paused, glancing at the longsword he had ordered placed at the foot of the bed: "It can't be erased, it hurts too much."
Xie Chen sighed softly, "Then it seems I'll never get to eat my brother in this lifetime."
"..." Su Yan was speechless for a moment, ignored him, and continued to apply the medicine to him.
But what came to mind was that "painful" scene from back then—
Xuanyuan Pavilion.
Su Yan walked briskly, carrying a bag in his hand, and asked everyone he met, "Have you seen Xie Chen?"
"Xie Chen is practicing his sword in the backyard," one of the brothers replied.
"Oh, okay, thank you." After saying that, Su Yan skipped off to the backyard.
As soon as he arrived at the backyard, he saw Xie Chen practicing swordsmanship. His moves were so sharp and skillful that they dazzled him.
He nodded in admiration, marveling at how much his younger brother's martial arts skills had improved.
He then happily walked over, but when he went down the steps, he accidentally missed a step. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and regained his balance.
Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing to fall face-first into the mud in front of Xie Chen.
He didn't fall, but the bag he was carrying dropped onto the steps.
He had just turned around and bent down to pick it up when he heard Xie Chen shout from behind: "Brother, hide!"
While picking up the things, Su Yan replied, "What?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, a sharp pain came from behind him.
The pain made him want to jump up, but when he straightened his back, the pain became excruciating, so he could only lie there bent over, cursing, "Damn it!"
Xie Chen rushed over, asking in a panic, "Brother, are you alright?!"
"Are you blind? Can't you see if something's wrong?! Hurry up and pull it out, it hurts so much!" Su Yan was in so much pain he wanted to cry. He never expected that a sword sheath would be stabbed in the back.
"Then, then brother, don't move, bear with it, I'm going to pull it out!" Xie Chen pressed down on Su Yan's buttocks with one hand and grabbed the sword sheath with the other.
Then, with a forceful tug, the scabbard emerged, still stained with blood.
Su Yan cried out in pain, tears streaming down his face: "Xie Chen, you bastard, be gentle!"
Xie Chen threw down his sword sheath, quickly scooped Su Yan up in his arms, and carried him back to his room.
"I'm sorry, brother, I made you hurt. Please lie down, I'll go find some medicine right away." After saying that, Xie Chen disappeared again in a flash.
Su Yan lay on the bed, crying and screaming in pain: "Xie Chen, you little bastard! I brought you something delicious, and you actually betrayed me!"
Although he knew it was an accident, he was in so much pain that he wanted to curse.
Xie Chen brought back gauze and medicine, and then began to pull at Su Yan's clothes.
"What are you doing?!"
"Take off your brother's clothes, otherwise how can I apply the medicine to him?"
"I'll wipe it myself, you get out."
"That won't do. Brother can't see this place, so how can I clean it? Besides, I'm the one who caused this injury, so of course I have to take care of it." As he spoke, he continued to undress Su Yan.
Su Yan wanted to refuse, but every movement caused pain in his back, so he could only obediently let Xie Chen do as he pleased.
Xie Chen took off Su Yan's underwear and, seeing the horrific sight, quickly grabbed some gauze to wipe the blood clean.
Su Yan's face was already as red as blood.
He lay there enduring the pain; this incident would likely become a stain on his life.
Afterwards, Xie Chen gently applied the medicine to Su Yan, saying dejectedly as he did so, "It's all my fault, I caused my brother to lose his virginity like this..."
"Shut up!" Su Yan said, looking embarrassed.
After that, Su Yan stayed in bed for three days to recover before the pain subsided.
Su Yan has retracted this "painful" memory, so even though he has long since recovered, he still feels a dull ache whenever he thinks about it.
Of course, he knew it was just his imagination.
But this shadow is really... too deep.
Just as Su Yan was still reflecting on this matter, Xie Chen suddenly got up and pushed him down onto the bed: "Brother, I think we should still give it a try. Maybe it can erase the shadow in your heart."
Chapter 361 I should not have been so greedy
Su Yan was startled: "You, you mustn't do anything reckless! You're still injured!"
Xie Chen smiled: "So, brother, you mean I can come once I'm healed?"
Su Yan choked, wanting to push Xie Chen away, but found that he was covered in injuries and didn't know where to push him, afraid that touching his wounds would hurt him.
"You wish! Get up and stop pressing down on me." Since Su Yan couldn't push me away with his hands, he had to use his mouth.
Seeing him like this, Xie Chen knew he was afraid of touching his wound; otherwise, he would have pushed him away long ago.
He knew that his brother cared about him and had him in his heart, but his brother was just being hypocritical and wouldn't admit it.
But it doesn't matter. He will prove his feelings with his actions. He wants his brother to deeply feel his feelings and thus face his own heart.
But he didn't get up; instead, he continued to persuade, "Brother, let's give it a try?"
"Try you my foot! You're covered in injuries, aren't you afraid of dying from this?" Su Yan replied.
"It's nothing, just minor injuries," Xie Chen said with a mischievous grin.
Upon hearing this, Su Yan blushed deeply.
Xie Chen leaned close to his ear and said, "Brother's face is so red, I really want to take a bite, what should I do?"
