MTL - Pihanjin-Chapter 49

silence.

What responded to him was just silence.

She didn't seem to hear, only those hands, on his back, continued to do her own thing.

Xie Changgeng turned his head and looked at her.

Her eyes kept falling on the wound on his back, a young girl's face was as clear as lake water. The lights illuminated her drooping dark eyelashes, and under her eyes, two soft and cold arc shadows were reflected.

If it wasn't for the child who appeared alive in front of him, she wouldn't look like a woman who had given birth to a child.

She put down the knife, took the medicine bottle, picked out some ointment with a small pestle, applied the medicine for him, and bandaged the wound.

"Have someone change your dressing every day, don't get the rain or get the wound wet."

After she finished speaking, she reached out to him.

A pure white, soft hand with a touch of jade coolness gently pressed against his forehead to check his body temperature.

The moment that hand pressed up, Xie Changgeng closed his eyes.

She quickly stopped.

"Slightly hot, or due to injury. I prescribe a prescription, decoct the medicine according to the prescription, three times a day, and be sure to rest more."

He straightened slowly and pulled back his clothes.

She still didn't look at him. After giving the order, she turned around, walked to the table, turned her back to him, took a pen and paper, leaned over to write the prescription, and when she was considering the amount of medicine, she suddenly heard a somewhat abrupt voice behind her. The voice: "Ms. Mu, what have I done, I'm sorry, do you hate me so much?"

Her hand paused, then continued to write, and said, "I thought Xi'er was fierce that day, but then I lost control and stabbed you. You didn't care about me, and you helped me find Xi'er, no matter what. , I must thank you..."

A shadow shrouded down behind her, reached out a hand, and squeezed the hand she was writing the recipe on.

Mu Fulan's eyelashes moved slightly, her eyes still drooping.

"How about letting go? I'm making a prescription for you..." she said.

He yanked the pen from her hand and threw it.

The ink sucked on the pen splattered and scattered on the surface of the case.

"You know what I'm referring to!" he leaned down and said to her. His tone was a little gloomy.

Mu Fulan raised her head, turned her face, and met Xie Changgeng's two eyes.

He stared at her with gloomy eyes.

Mu Fulan's body only moved a little, he was already holding her hand, leading her, forcing her to turn to him.

She was unsteady for a moment, her body was slightly tilted, and her forehead hit his chin.

A hot flash of breath brushed across her face.

She was caught off guard by the man between his body and the desk.

He said: "Ms. Mu, when I asked you to marry me, of course it hindered the good things between you and Junshan, but I just went to ask for marriage, not forcing marriage. Since your father agreed to the marriage, he had his own considerations. As a princess, even if your heart belongs to you at that time, you should accept your heart and put your husband first.

"After the marriage contract was made, I kept my promise and kept the Changsha country safe. Not only that, I didn't prevent you from secretly giving birth to a child, and I didn't hurt the person in your heart. How he died has nothing to do with me! "

"I don't need to shy away, I'm from a humble background, but I've come to this day, do you think I'll be able to achieve it overnight by marrying you in Changsha? During those three years, I fought in Guanshan, life and death, three years later, I will marry you as promised, where am I? I'm sorry, why did you treat me like this?"

His voice gradually became excited, his breath burst into her ears, and his body temperature was already hot, but now it became more and more hot. The heat seemed to penetrate the warp and weft on the fabric of the two's clothes, and the silk was forced under her clothes.

Mu Fulan felt terrified.

He stopped, his chest rising and falling slightly, as if to calm his emotions at the moment.

"Look up!"

After a while, Mu Fulan heard him speak to herself in a commanding tone.

She slowly raised her eyes and met a pair of eyes that were looking down at her gloomily.

He looked at her and said, "Ms. Mu, I've thought about it, this time it's true that I'm too reckless, tired of putting your son in danger, and it's my fault that there will be an accident, and there won't be another time. But if It's not that you lied and humiliated me so much before that I couldn't bear it, why did I have the desire to live with you as a woman?"

"You ask yourself, from the beginning to the present, is it that I, Xie Changgeng, have been sorry for you for being first, or that you are acting out of proportion and being too out of line?"

The surroundings were quiet, and there was only the sound of his heavy breathing with a bit of anger in his ears, which sounded exceptionally clear.

Mu Fulan raised her face slightly and looked at the man who was still trapped in front of her. In her heart, she suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, as if she was deeply immersed in the quagmire of fate.

Since she returned to Changsha, after he chased after her, disputes like this had happened too many times between the two of them.

And this time, compared with the past, his anger has been very restrained, and even, in addition to the anger, there is a bit of unprecedented depression and even grievance in his tone.

How could she not hear it.

Of course, it's unfair to make someone take responsibility for something he hasn't done in his life.

But one day, his royal career will make him show the coldness in his bones and blood, she knows.

How dare you forget the old things without drinking the water from the Forgotten River.

She finally spoke and asked him, "So, what do you want?"

"Ms. Mu, I don't need you to kneel down and confess your guilt to me, and I have no intention of embarrassing you any more. But in the future, you have to remember for me that the day I am your husband, you will fulfill your duty as a wife! "

He lowered his face, looked at her, and slowly said these words from his mouth.

Desk candles jump.

Under the dark eyes, there seemed to be an undercurrent, surging silently, the hand that was holding her never let go, still enclosing her between him and the table behind her.

After a while, she moved her hand, trying to get out of his hot palm, and said in a low voice, "The recipe hasn't been written yet..."

"I was out a few days ago, and I haven't slept well. I'm tired. I'll go back to my room early in the evening to rest. You can prepare the medicine and wait."

He looked at her with a low voice and a flat tone. After speaking, he released his hand and walked out.

…

In the middle of Xu Shi, Xi'er took a bath, changed her sleeping clothes, and sat on the bed.

She came out in a hurry this time, and was accompanied by only two maids, Dan Zhu and Zhu Yu. The two are in the next room at the moment, making the bed for Xi'er.

Mu Fulan checked the wound on the sole of the child's foot.

The wounds are recovering well, they have all healed and new flesh has grown.

"Mother, I'm no longer in pain."

Mu Fulan breathed a sigh of relief, remembering that he sneaked into Xie Changgeng's study in the evening to find him, and said, "But these few days, you still can't run around, you know? The meat hasn't grown strong yet, be careful and wear it out. skin."

Xi'er nodded: "I see. Today, I wanted to name the pony, so I went to look for Mr. Xie. Mother, the adults praised me for being brave and said that the pony is the same as me."

There was a little pride in the child's tone.

Mu Fulan didn't say anything, just smiled, took a pair of soft socks and put them on his little feet.

As if feeling the slight change in her mood, Xi'er stopped mentioning the "Sir Xie" that her mother didn't seem to like to hear, and closed her mouth.

"Mother, are we going back soon?"

After a while, when Mu Fulan was tying her garter belt, she heard the child suddenly ask herself this.

She raised her eyes and looked at Xi'er looking into her own eyes. She was thinking about how to answer when she heard a voice from behind: "Your little pony is still young, it is suitable for growing in Hexi, go to other places. It's easy to get sick, and it won't leave until next spring at least when it's half a year old. Would you like to grow up with it here?"

"Thank you sir, you are back!"

Xi'er called him and immediately got up from the bed, as if she wanted to get out of bed, looked at her mother, and stopped again.

Mu Fulan turned back.

Xie Changgeng came in, and he was standing beside the screen.

"Mother, Master Xie said that the little dragon horse is too young to go, can we wait for it to get older and then go back?" Xi'er asked Mu Fulan, her face full of pleading.

Before Mu Fulan could answer, she heard Xie Changgeng say, "She didn't shake her head, she just promised you."

"Mother?"

Xi'er opened her eyes wide and looked at Mu Fulan.

Mu Fulan nodded slowly.

A happy look appeared on Xi'er's face.

The maid came in and said, "Master Weng, the little son's bed is ready."

Seeing Xie Changgeng's eyes looking at her, Mu Fulan suppressed a burst of confusion in her heart, and said softly to the child on the bed, "Xi'er is sleeping well. Mother will send you to your house, OK?"

Xi'er glanced at Xie Changgeng and nodded.

Mu Fulan was about to pick up Xi'er when Xie Changgeng came over and said, "You ask someone to prepare water for me and bring the medicine here."

He leaned over, picked up the little man on the bed, turned around and walked out, sent him to the adjoining room next door, put the man on the bed, ordered him to lie down, and covered him with a quilt.

"sleep!"

Xi'er closed her eyes immediately.

Xie Changgeng looked around, walked over, and when he closed the window, a child's voice came from behind him: "Master Xie, is your back still hurting?"

He turned his head and saw that the child opened his eyes, got up from the bed, and was looking at himself.

"Sir, don't blame my mother, okay? I'll tell her so that she won't do this to you again..."

Xie Changgeng looked at the little man on the bed, his heart suddenly softened.

He closed the window, walked back, and said to the little man, "The pain is gone. I don't blame her."

Xi'er breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, sir. Then you also remember to listen to my mother's words, don't be afraid of the bitter medicine, take it well, and you will get better soon."

Xie Changgeng nodded, let him lie down again, and said, "Go to sleep."

Xi'er closed her eyes again.

Xie Changgeng turned around and was about to go out when he heard the child call him again.

He stopped and turned his head.

"Sir, will you sleep with my mother every night from now on?"

He saw the child open his eyes again and asked in a low voice. The man huddled in the bed, curled up into a small ball of flesh, only showing a small face, with two eyes looking at himself.

Xie Changgeng was startled.

"Sister Zhuyu said that adults and my mother are husband and wife, and we want to sleep together at night. She told me to be obedient, to sleep by myself, and not to pester my mother. She and Sister Danzhu will accompany me." He added another sentence.

Xie Changgeng came back to his senses, and looking at the pair of clear and pure eyes that looked at him, he suddenly felt a guilty conscience as if he was robbing him of the thing he loved with a child.

He coughed: "If you don't want to sleep alone, then go back..."

The boy under the quilt shook his head.

"Sir, go and sleep with her. I just want to beg, lord, can you be nice to her and don't bully her? Also, my mother's courage is very small. When there is thunder, she is afraid, hugs me, I Just hug her, so she won't be afraid. Next time it rains and thunders, remember to hug her, my lord."

Xie Changgeng couldn't help but secretly blushed and said vaguely, "I see. Go to sleep."

The child rambled, and finally finished the exhortation, as if reassured, yawned, and slowly closed his eyes.
