After tossing all night, the main room was finally cleaned up. Chi Tao ran to the kitchen to deliver the dinner, and Qing Zhi walked in with the freshly fried medicine.
Liu Qinghuan smelled the bitterness of the medicinal herbs from a long distance away, and shrunk into the quilt with the corners of her mouth pursed. Xue Mu took the bowl from Qing Zhi's hand, and looked at Liu Qinghuan who only showed a pair of eyes. Liu Qinghuan glanced at him and shook her head silently.
Xue Mu sighed, and picked up a snowflake-shaped pastry from the small plate on the side: "After drinking the medicine, you can eat a Yulu ball, which is very sweet with molasses and yogurt added."
Liu Qinghuan thought about it for a while, and asked in a weng voice: "Can I eat without drinking?"
Xue Mudao: "If you don't want to drink, I will ask my mother-in-law to feed you."
Liu Qinghuan: "..."
She slowly got up from the bed, took the bowl in Xue Mu's hand, closed her eyes and inhaled, and drank the bitter concoction in one go. Xue Mu wanted to praise her, but Liu Qinghuan took his hand and bit the Yulu ball hard.
The slight sweetness finally came from between the teeth and the tip of the tongue, and Liu Qinghuan's wrinkled facial features slightly stretched out. Seeing her swallowing the pastry, Xue Mu handed the remaining half of the pastry to her mouth: "Open your mouth."
Liu Qinghuan opened his mouth, and swallowed the rest of the Yulu ball in one gulp.
Xue Mu suddenly had the illusion that he was feeding the little leopard.
Liu Qinghuan insatiably asked Xue Mu for a second piece, Xue Mu put down the empty medicine bowl, and asked Qingzhi to take the bowl and the small pastry dish away.
Liu Qinghuan looked at him sadly: "Amu, the doctor said that my illness needs to be taken care of, but I don't have enough food and clothing, how can I take care of it well?"
Xue Mu smiled and patted her on the head: "Then drink more medicine."
Liu Qinghuan: "..."
She knew she shouldn't tell him what was in her heart! He has nothing to worry about now!
Seeming to see through her mind, Xue Mu suddenly asked: "Qingqing, do you really want a cousin?"
Liu Qinghuan: "..."
She gave a dry laugh and said, "I just think that the role of cousin is more legendary."
"Oh." Xue Mu nodded, "For example, when you start chaotically and end up abandoning, domineering?"
"... Uh, maybe next time it will be as gentle as jade and with an extraordinary temperament."
next time? Xue Mu smiled without saying a word.
"Master Hou, madam, you can have dinner now." Chi Tao walked in from the outside and said respectfully.
Liu Qinghuan's dinner was a bowl of bird's nest porridge. After Xue Mu fed her, he moved his chopsticks. Liu Qinghuan looked at the piles of big fish and meat on his table, and then at her small bowl of porridge, and suddenly felt sad.
After serving Xue Mu's meal, the two servant girls looked at Xue Mu awkwardly: "Master Hou, this servant wants to help Madam wipe her body..." Would you like to avoid it first
Xue Mu thought for a while, turned around and walked out, Chi Tao and Qing Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. The madam is still wounded, if Hou Ye is watching and watching the beastly behavior, they... can't stop it even if they want to!
Xue Mu also went to take a bath at this time, and when she came back from the bath, Liu Qinghuan had already changed into clean clothes and lay down on the bed to sleep. Her skin was very fair, and she looked as pink and tender as when she was a child. Xue Mu couldn't help but went up to touch her face, and his little dumpling finally came back to him.
Liu Qinghuan was not asleep at all, she opened her eyes and looked at the people beside her: "Amu..."
Xue Mu smiled at her, and said softly: "It's been a day's journey, go to bed early."
"Okay..." Liu Qinghuan's eyelashes trembled, and she was about to close her eyes again, when she saw Xue Mu undressing in horror!
etc! "Amu, do you want to sleep here?"
Xue Mu paused while taking off his coat, and looked up at her jokingly: "Otherwise, where should I sleep?"
For example, beside the lotus, in the outer room... Thinking of this, Liu Qinghuan recalled that he didn't seem to see the small bed in the outer room when he came in just now.
Xue Mu walked to her side, bent down and whispered in her ear: "I slept here during the days when you were not around."
Liu Qinghuan's ears turned red inexplicably, Xue Mu stripped himself down to only his underwear, then rolled over and lay down beside Liu Qinghuan.
Liu Qinghuan was a little nervous, her body was tense and she didn't dare to move. Xue Mu leaned against her, and said with a slight smile, "It's not like we haven't slept together before, why are you nervous?"
"Well, that's different, last time you were drunk..." Liu Qinghuan said in a low voice.
Xue Mu's eyes darkened, and his voice was hoarse: "This time you can also pretend that I am drunk."
After he finished speaking, he kissed Liu Qinghuan's delicate lips, and his hands slowly slipped into Liu Qinghuan's clothes while his lips and tongue were intertwined. Liu Qinghuan choked up a few times, turned her head and looked at Xue Mu pitifully: "Amu, I still have injuries..."
Xue Mu's kiss landed on her fair neck, planting a few red dots before he said in a suppressed way: "I know..."
Withdrawing her right hand from Liu Qinghuan's clothes, she helped her tuck the corner of the quilt: "Go to sleep."
Liu Qinghuan closed her eyes obediently, Xue Mu looked at her for a while, and then closed her eyes.
Feeling that the scorching gaze disappeared, Liu Qinghuan quietly opened her eyes, and sneaked a glance at the person lying beside her. Her Amu has always been so good-looking, her skin is as smooth as white jade, her eyelashes seem to be longer than her own, no wonder Zheng Duoduo feels ashamed.
But she is injured now, if something happens, she must be the one who suffers, and when she recovers... Hehehe~ Liu Qinghuan smiled with the corners of her mouth pursed, closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Both of them slept very soundly that night, and Xue Mu woke up habitually before the bells and drums sounded to announce the dawn in Chang'an City. When he opened his eyes and saw Liu Qinghuan who was sleeping beside him, Xue Mu's gaze softened suddenly. It feels so good to see his little dumpling every morning when I wake up.
There was still a slight slap mark on Liu Qinghuan's side face, and Xue Mu kissed it lightly in distress before getting up to change clothes.
Today's morning court was extremely lively, and even Prime Minister Pan, who often complained of illness, stood at the front of the team in high spirits. In addition to appointing Dali Temple, Yushitai and the Ministry of Criminal Justice to jointly try the Lingnan King's treason case, the emperor also found out Lingnan King's henchmen and threw them together for trial. By the way, Ma County magistrate was also tried. He was dragged out of the palace and beaten dozens of times because he repeatedly listened to slanderous rumors and murdered people. The nonsense Taoist priest has been thrown into the Liang County prison, waiting for the new county magistrate to go for trial.
The special envoy of the Dongganluo Kingdom, who was nostalgic for the beauty of Dacheng and did not want to leave, also bid farewell to the emperor in the early court, saying that his royal brother had missed him for a long time, and he would lead his people back to the Dongganluo Kingdom today.
After Li Mo transported the treasure back to the palace, he narrowly caught up with the tail of the early dynasty and returned to life with the emperor. Because Gao Cheng made great contributions in this operation, and because he was good at martial arts at a young age, the emperor made an exception and granted him a seventh-rank official position, and he has been mixed with General Xue ever since. As for Gao Zhengping, the emperor sent someone to treat him regardless of the previous suspicions, but whether he will be cured or not is another matter.
When Xue Mu returned to the Hou Mansion, Liu Qinghuan had already had lunch and lay down on the couch again. The mushroom king that Xue Mu brought back yesterday had been boiled for two hours in the kitchen, and it was only now ready to be delivered. Xue Mu blew on the soup in the bowl, walked to Liu Qinghuan and sat down, and called softly: "Qingqing?"
"Hmm..." Liu Qinghuan murmured, but did not open her eyes, "I've already taken the medicine, so I won't drink it..."
Xue Mu laughed and pinched her cheek: "Do you want to drink the soup?"
Liu Qinghuan's eyes moved, and she opened her eyes to look at him: "Amu..."
The voice just woke up is soft and waxy, Xue Mu likes to hear her call Amu like that. Unable to resist kissing her on the corner of the mouth, Xue Mu helped her up and leaned against his chest: "What a lazy pig, you were sleeping when I left, and you were still sleeping when I came back."
"I didn't sleep all the time." Liu Qinghuan curled her lips in disapproval, looking at the small bowl of soup in front of her, "What kind of soup is this? It smells so good."
"Try the Mushroom King brought back from Xiwei Mountain."
When Liu Qinghuan heard that he was the King of Gu, he raised his head and said to Xue Mu: "I heard that the king of mushroom can prolong his life if he eats it. Auntie is not in good health. Let's send it to her."
Xue Mu's hands paused, and then he smiled at her and said, "Idiot, do you think that a mushroom king boiled such a small bowl of soup? I asked Liang Chen to send it to Auntie."
"Oh, that's right." Liu Qinghuan held the bowl and drank in small sips. After drinking half of it, he raised his head to look at Xue Mu again: "Amu, this soup is delicious, do you want to try it too?"
Xue Mu laughed, this bowl of soup was only so much, and he didn't think it was enough to give her all of it, so how could he drink it. However, the benefits of home delivery are not taken for nothing. He lowered his head slightly and kissed Liu Qinghuan's lips.
To Xue Mu, Liu Qinghuan was sweeter than Yulu Tuan. He sucked on her lips for a long time, until she almost couldn't hold the soup bowl in her hand, and then let go of her lips: "I've finished tasting...you take the rest I drank the soup."
Liu Qinghuan panted lightly, and drank the soup in the bowl in one go. Qing Zhi stepped forward to take the bowl, blushed and retreated.
She just seemed to see the beast in Lord Hou's body that was about to break free from the cage and eat his wife in one bite!
Xue Mu really wanted to eat Liu Qinghuan in one bite. Just thinking about it, he could tell how good his little dumplings tasted. But Xiaotuanzi was injured, so he couldn't do anything.
"Qingqing..." He gently wrapped his arms around her waist, whispering in her ear, Liu Qinghuan remembered the last time he took a bath, he begged himself. Huan, her ears turned red like fire.
But this time Xue Mu just called her a few times, and then let her go: "I have to go to the palace later, you can sleep for a while." Xue Mu helped her lie down again, and took two steps He turned back and kissed her on the forehead, "Take care of your body early."
Liu Qinghuan: "..."
She shrank her head and closed her eyes.
