Everyone in the room now looked at Yue Nu, and Yue Nu quickly lowered her head.
"I, I can't."
Shen Huan pulled him over and said, "It's okay, it's very simple. And this medicine needs to be changed twice a day until the wound is completely healed. I see that other people in the mansion are quite busy, so why not let you do the job of changing the medicine in the future."
After saying that, she looked at Wu Quan and asked for his opinion.
Wu Quan nodded. The general's mansion was indeed short of staff now, and someone was needed to take good care of the general. However, these careless soldiers were far less suitable than Yue Nu, who had known how to take care of people since childhood.
Moreover, Wu Quan had already sent people to find out Yue Nu's background. When the child was young, he was sold to a family in the imperial capital as a slave. Later, he was sold several times. He had a rough life for more than ten years until he was robbed while traveling with a caravan and then came to the general's mansion.
Zhao Litang leaned against the bed without saying a word, allowing Yue Nu to change the bandage on his wound.
Shen Huan was instructing from the side. Yue Nu was quick and gentle and quickly changed the medicine.
After all the busy work, it was already getting late.
Shen Huan yawned, "Then, General Zhao, have a good rest, and we will withdraw first."
She winked at Yue Nu, meaning to take good care of her here.
Yue Nu nodded.
The rest of the people retreated one by one, and Shen Shijiu followed behind Shen Huan, his figure disappearing behind the door.
Zhao Litang and Yue Nu were the only ones left in the room, and Zhao Litang was still looking at the door.
Yue Nu wet a handkerchief with hot water and used it to wipe Zhao Litang's hands.
Zhao Litang frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something, and did not even brush Yue Nu away.
"Who just came?"
Yue Nu thought about it and realized that Shen Huan and Shen Shijiu were the only people Zhao Litang didn't know.
"Master Shen is the doctor that Imperial Doctor Jiang brought in from the Prime Minister's Residence. He has great medical skills. It was Master Shen who cured the general of the poison."
When Zhao Litang heard the words "Prime Minister's Mansion", his face looked a little strange.
"Then the other one, is he also from the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Yue Nu said, "General, are you asking about Master Shen? Master Shen is Master Shen's apprentice and is also from the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"Mr. Shen?"
"Yes, Mr. Shen's name is Shen Nineteen, and his medical skills are also very impressive."
Yue Nu has been in contact with Shen Jiujiu more often these days. He can feel particularly relaxed when he is with Shen Jiujiu, and he also likes that little guy who is always as bright as the sun.
Zhao Litang didn't ask any more questions.
"You can get out now."
Yue Nu paused, "General, let Yue Nu stay to take care of you. You just woke up, it's inconvenient for you to do anything, you need someone to look after you..."
"I'm fine, go back and rest."
After Zhao Litang finished speaking, he leaned against the bed and closed his eyes, looking like he didn't want to say anything more.
Yue Nu didn't want to disturb him anymore, so she replied "yes" softly, then lowered her head and walked out silently.
When he walked to the door and was about to close it, Zhao Litang saw his sad face and suddenly said, "Thank you."
Then he raised his bandaged arm.
Yue Nu smiled and said, "This is what Yue Nu should do. General, you should have a good rest. Yue Nu will go down first."
The door of the room was closed.
Zhao Litang's mind was still a little confused.
Why would someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion come to save him? And who exactly is Shen Shijiu? Is Pei Zheng hiding something from him
It seems that he must talk to Pei Zheng in person.
After Yue Nu left Zhao Litang's room, his steps were unusually brisk. When he thought of the general thanking him just now, he couldn't help but smile foolishly.
The general is really a good person. Not only did he save my life, but he also thanked me so gently.
No one had ever treated him like this before. Those masters just treated him like an animal. No one cared about his feelings.
But the general was different. He was obviously in charge of a large army and was such a great figure, but he was still so good to a small slave like him. So he must be better to the general in the future to repay the general's kindness.
It was already dark outside. Yue Nu walked back to the courtyard where she lived, but saw a small figure still standing in the yard.
Shen Shijiu was looking up at the night sky. There was a bright moon hanging above his head and the stars were shining silently. He pointed one finger at the air and muttered to himself.
"Fifty stars, fifty-one stars, fifty-two stars..."
"Master Shen," Yue Nu called him, and then walked towards him, "It's so late, why haven't you gone to bed yet?"
Shen Shijiu's plan of counting stars was disrupted. He pursed his lips and looked at the person who came.
"Ayue, it's you. Don't call me Master Shen anymore. We already agreed that I will call you Ayue and you will call me Shi."
Yue Nu hesitated, "But, you are the guest and I am the servant, this is not good..."
Shen Nineteen took a step closer to him and pulled his hand. "What's wrong with that? I think it's pretty good. Besides, Master said that I'm one year older than you. You should call me brother. How about you call me Brother Ten?"
Shen Shijiu had never had any brothers or sisters, and no one called him brother. His eyes sparkled with excitement.
Yue Nu felt embarrassed by his passionate gaze, which was too sincere and warm for him to refuse.
"Ten...Brother..."
"Why!"
Shen Shijiu curved his eyebrows, and swung Yue Nu's arm around, looking very happy.
Yue Nu saw that he was not wearing much clothes and it was a cold night with heavy dew, so he was still a little worried that Shen Shijiu would catch a cold.
"Ten, are you waiting for someone here?"
Yue Nu looked around as she spoke, but it was very quiet and there was no one around.
Shen Shijiu dodged his gaze and said, "No, no, I'm not, I'm not waiting for anyone, I'm... counting stars..."
As he said this he looked up at the night sky.
Yue Nu also raised his head and glanced at Shen Shijiu carefully. In fact, his guilty conscience was written all over his face, but he foolishly thought he had hidden it well.
Yue Nu smiled secretly, then said seriously, "Then I'll get you a piece of clothing to put on, and then you can count slowly, okay? It's too cold at night, you can't freeze."
"Okay." Shen Shijiu nodded.
Seeing how well behaved he was, Yue Nu patted the back of his hand and said, "Then wait for me here."
After saying that, he hurriedly ran into the room to get an outer robe for Shen Shijiu. He took such good care of Shen Shijiu that he seemed more like a brother.
When Yue Nu took her clothes and ran out, there was no trace of the little man in the yard.
"Ten? Ten? Master Shen?"
Yue Nu called several times, but no one answered, so he took his robe, went back to his room, and closed the door.
Shen Shijiu was actually still in the yard, but someone covered his mouth and he couldn't speak.
Just now, when he was standing in the yard waiting for Yue Nu, he saw a person suddenly flying down from the eaves. The figure of that person was very familiar, and he directly pulled him and hid behind the rockery.
With a faint scent of sandalwood lingering around his nose, Shen Shijiu grabbed the collar of the person in front of him, humming and blinking his eyes as if trying to speak.
Pei Zheng was very close to him, his breath was right beside his ear.
"Be good and keep quiet."
Shen Shijiu immediately quieted down.
At this time, he heard Yue Nu calling him, and Shen Jiujiu became a little nervous again. Fortunately, Yue Nu only called a few times and then went back, and Shen Jiujiu relaxed a little.
Pei Zheng loosened his grip on the little man slightly and looked down at him.
The moonlight was bright and white like jade, shining on Shen Shijiu's small face. Although there was a mask between them, there was no obstruction between her eyes and her red lips.
The warm touch of his body and the soft and fragrant smell really make people want to take a bite.
Pei Zheng put one hand behind the slender waist, then pressed her towards his arms, pulling her deep into his arms.
Shen Shijiu rested his little head on Pei Zheng's shoulder, his toes touching the ground, most of his body pressed on Pei Zheng, his waist and back were held by two arms, almost strangling him to the point of suffocation.
But this feeling of being hugged by someone was so safe and nostalgic that Shen Shijiu slowly put her hands around Pei Zheng's waist.
"Do you miss me?"
Pei Zheng asked in a low voice in his ear, kissed the small and delicate ear, and watched the fair skin gradually turn pink.
"I do." Shen Shijiu's voice was soft.
"I haven't come to see you in the past few days. Do you know why?"
"I know. Ah Feng told me. The emperor wants to see you for something, and you need to focus on your work."
Pei Zheng touched the little head resting in his arms.
"You are my business."
In fact, the emperor went to Pei Zheng to discuss the issue of the barbarians. As for why he did not directly let Pei Zheng return to court, it was simply because he did not want other ministers in the court to gossip.
In a few days, the emperor will naturally return Pei Zheng his rightful rights.
I haven't seen the little guy in the past few days. When Pei Zheng was discussing important matters with the emperor in the palace, he was actually distracted.
But every time he came back from the palace, it was already very late, and the huge Prime Minister's Mansion was empty and deserted.
Pei Zheng was feeling uneasy, so he asked Chengfeng Bairi to come and deliver a message for him.

Pei Zheng felt that he couldn't bear it any longer if they didn't see each other again.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, as well as someone's urgent but suppressed voice.
"Just now the guards said that someone seemed to have entered the mansion. Now hurry up and search all the courtyards. Some of you go this way, some of you go that way, and keep your voices down. Don't disturb the general's rest! Quick!"
embankment!"
Several teams of guards dispersed and began searching the general's mansion.
Several guards were about to arrive at the courtyard, and they would definitely find out that the person who broke into the general's mansion in the middle of the night was actually the prime minister.
Shen Shijiu was a little anxious, looking at Pei Zheng at a loss, "Sir, someone is coming in, what should we do, they will find you!"
Unexpectedly, Pei Zheng didn't seem to be in a hurry. He pulled Shen Shijiu and went straight into a room.
