"With your little trap, you really can't do anything to This King!" Mu Ying turned around and said haughtily, "If it weren't for This King not resting well and riding the horses through the night, I wouldn't have been ambushed by you." He was right. Xue Ruyun also knew that his martial arts would not be so low, so there must be a reason.

"A woman doesn't usually study the art of the zither, the calligraphy, and the painting properly, but she does these things that are offensive to others." Mu Ying said coldly, but in his heart, he had a whole new level of respect for Xue Ruyun.

Hearing him say this, Xue Ruoyun immediately replied back, "I have always been a person who likes to move. I cannot sit around and take care of things like those girls. Furthermore, there are countless people in my courtyard who harbors malicious intents. I am only one person, and I am weak in my own right, which is why I have set up such layers of traps. However, my mechanism is meant to be used against thieves. You have come and gone without a trace in the middle of the night. What do you intend to do, king? "

In fact, Xue Luoyun knew that Tang Thirty-Six would absolutely not come here to harm him, but he was deliberately saying these words to anger him.

"Since you do not appreciate my kindness, then I will leave today. Just pretend that I have never come here before." Mu Sheng was so agitated by his words that he felt ashamed. As he spoke, he turned around and was about to leave.

Xue Ruyun knew that there was definitely something that needed to be done for him to come here. Furthermore, he had saved his many times from danger, so Xue Luoyun had yet to express his gratitude. You remember this time on the mountain, and at the end, you vaguely remember that he was the one who saved you, carried you to the manor. So at this moment, seeing that he was about to leave in a bad mood, Xue Luoyun quickly stepped forward and pulled on his sleeve, his tone softening, "What are you saying? Did you not appreciate my kindness? Could it be that something happened today?" Blame me for being so quick with my words and for offending you. Please forgive me. " Xue Ruyun's apology was sincere.

Mu Ying turned his head around and saw that she was holding onto his sleeve with her own hands. His face momentarily flushed red, but fortunately, it was pitch-black and he couldn't see the color on his face, or else he would be seen as a joke by her. He heard her tone soften and she lowered her voice. It would be inconvenient for Mu Sheng to put on a high front again.

In addition, he wasn't truly thinking of leaving. At this moment, if Xue Ruoyun allowed him to stay, it would just give him a way out. Although his face was still as cold as ice, he was actually secretly happy in his heart.

He then stretched his hand out to feel his clothes, before carefully taking out something.

"Take it..." Mu Sheng reached out a hand in front of Xue Ruyun, stretching out his palm.

"This is?" On the open palm of his hand was shockingly an exquisite white porcelain bottle.

"What is this?" Xue Luoyun picked up the bottle and asked curiously.

"This is the secret recipe requested by an old military doctor in my northern army. I have been in the war for many years, and the military officers and soldiers, regardless of knife or sword wounds, will heal in less than five days and will not leave behind any scars." Mu Ying said seriously.

"Oh, really? "Awesome." Upon hearing his words, Xue Luoyun was abnormally moved. Unexpectedly, he usually looked like a piece of deep and cold stone. Yet, deep in his bones, he was so passionate and considerate. He was actually concerned about his illness, and he even thought about it so meticulously that he was afraid of getting a scar.

If he thought about it carefully, ever since he was injured, both the Emperor and Xue Duan Sheng had paid close attention to him. They would send someone to treat him every day. However, there would always be people who would interfere and defend themselves for a long time. It wouldn't harm her, but it would let her experience this pain for a long time. As a result, although her condition had improved somewhat, her healing was particularly slow.

Especially this cut on his back, it was deep and heavy, injuring his muscles and bones. Although it had been almost half a month, the pain was still incomparable. Every time he woke up in the middle of the night, his face would turn deathly pale from the pain. The sweat on his forehead had completely drenched his pillow.

Seeing Xue Ruyun in a daze while holding the porcelain bottle, Mu Ying took advantage of the faint moonlight to size her up. Her face was still as pale as paper, devoid of any color. The sound of his words from before had been too loud. Perhaps it was because of the gash, but at this moment, fine beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.

Mu Ying passed a silk handkerchief to her while looking around: "This Xue Xiang Manor usually has many servants. How come there isn't even a single maid here?"

He lightly wiped off his sweat, let out a cold laugh, and replied, "I originally liked peace and quiet. Moreover, there are a lot of people in this mansion who don't like me, and all of them are the eyes and ears of the Zhao clan. Moreover, it is already late in the night. The maids by my side are exhausted, so I had them go to bed early. "

"No matter how benevolent I am, I still need to leave some care by the side of the maidservant. Otherwise, what if I die in the middle of the night?" Mu Ying's words were a bit too harsh, but he was actually thinking for Xue Ruoyun's sake. Unlike other people, he had a sabre in his mouth and a sword in his back.

As a result, when Xue Luoyun heard these words, not only did he not get angry, he even found them very cordial. He thought about how, when he was young, he was disobedient and insisted on being a bodyguard. Every time he returned from a mission injured, his grandma would scold him, "If I tell you not to go, you have to go. Die."

Xue Ruyun's words were filled with emotion, but he couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.

Seeing that her expression was a bit strange, Mu Ying realized that his words were a bit too heavy and secretly regretted it. He quickly turned around and said, "Rest well. Goodbye."

"Hey, don't go." Seeing that he had just arrived, Xue Ruyun hurriedly prepared to leave. In these few days, he had a lot of things he wanted to talk to others about. Mu Zheng, once again his mother's old lover, felt awkward. Now that she saw him, she seemed to want to chat with him.

"Is there anything else?" Mu Ying turned around, but was secretly happy in his heart.

"About that, I can see that the night is pretty good." Since you've worked so hard to bring me the medicine, I don't have anything to thank you for. Why don't you take a break? Xue Ruyun stared at Mu Rong Hao, his eyes seemed to be begging him.

Mu Sheng looked into her eyes. It was a beautiful black crystal, glittering under the moonlight. She could not help but be moved, and her tone softened: "Alright. I'll have a cup of tea and then I'll go. "

"Great, just you wait." As Xue Ruyun spoke, he quickly returned to his room.

Mu Ying looked at the figure of her back as she promised, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch into a smile. He sat down on a stone bench in the courtyard. When he was done, he felt another wave of sleepiness wash over him.

"Xue Luoyun hasn't come out yet, so I'm going to rest for now." Mu Sheng closed his eyes as he thought about it. After so many days of worrying about this matter, he had finally finished sleeping peacefully.

Xue Ruyun went to his room to make tea, and then he brought out some snacks. However, it had only been a few minutes, but Mu Ying had already fallen asleep while leaning against the stone bench. As he walked closer, he saw that under the moonlight, the side of his face was clearly defined, his eyebrows were thick and jet-black, his nose was high, and his lips were tightly shut. Even when he slept, he was proud and aloof, his heroic spirit overwhelming.
