Mo Lingyuan's chin rested on the top of her hair, Chu Yunyao opened her eyes, and in the dim light of the lamp, she saw his up and down Adam's apple, felt his slightly trembling shoulders, and was about to push him away.

Just moved a little, and was tightened by that powerful big hand, "Don't move, let me hug you more."

Chu Yunyao: "..."

"So, for more than half a month, you locked yourself here without taking a step out of the bedroom, and you didn't see anyone except Bao'er, right?" Mo Lingyuan closed his eyes.

"......,Um."

Mo Lingyuan heard that soft "hmm", as if thousands of sharp knives pierced into his heart.

He knows how much Chu Yunyao can endure.

When she let the little wolf go back to the forest, she was besieged by people on the way and fell into a pool of blood. After being carried back by him, she was covered in scars, and she didn't shed a single tear, nor did she snort much.

She even endured the pain, holding a knife to cut open the carrion in the injured area and dig out the bullet inside.

If she couldn't bear it, how could she lock herself in the bedroom, she would rather be questioned than show up.

Mo Lingyuan's palm caressed her skinny back, thousands of words were stuck in her throat, she didn't know what to say, and only after a while did she say: "You're skinny."

Chu Yunyao blinked those clear and pure eyes: "Is it uncomfortable to hug?"

Mo Lingyuan: "..."

Mo Lingyuan shook his head solemnly, "No."

His slender fingers pinched her chin, "I'll send you and Bao'er back to Jincheng tomorrow."

Chu Yunyao touched his forehead: "Let's talk about it after you recover completely."

She yawned: "It's good that you woke up, I can finally sleep soundly tonight."

Chu Yunyao was afraid that Mo Lingyuan would continue to ask, so she simply closed her eyes: "Go to sleep, go to sleep, although the urgent need has been resolved, when we open our eyes tomorrow, there will be a lot of things waiting for us."

In a daze, she only felt a hot touch on her forehead and lips, which was fleeting and soon fell asleep.

Mo Lingyuan kissed her forehead and the corners of her lips, and called out her name a few times in a low voice. Seeing that she didn't respond, he took out Siyu's portrait from under the pillow, and looked at it over and over for a long time.

He didn't pull out the needle until the drip of the infusion tube was finished, got up in cloaked clothes, and went to see Bao'er and Mu Qing...

When the sky was getting dark, Mo Lingyuan returned to the bedroom, lifted the quilt, held Chu Yunyao's arm, opened her sleeve, and looked at the wound on her arm that hadn't healed because of the Gu-digging insect, with a hideous scar on it , the knife marks are obvious, and one can tell at a glance that the wound is too deep due to lack of strength.



When Chu Yunyao woke up, it was already past the breakfast time, and there was no one around her. It was rare for Bao'er to sit leisurely at the table, playing with the spring plums stuck in the bottle.

Seeing Chu Yunyao wake up, she asked excitedly, "Miss, are these plum blossoms beautiful? In a few days, when the weather gets warmer, the plum blossoms will wither. This is the last spring plum blossom."

Looking at Bao'er, Chu Yunyao felt that this girl had a really big heart, no matter what kind of environment she was in, she could find the beauty in life.

Chu Yunyao praised: "It's pretty, as beautiful as Bao'er."

Bao'er gave Chu Yunyao a shy look, and came over to help Chu Yunyao get dressed: "Miss just knows how to tease me."

"Has Ling Yuan's fever gone?" Chu Yunyao asked.

"The fever is gone." Bao'er said with a smile: "The palace family's dark chess was pulled out, the master woke up again, the morale of the Mohist army was greatly boosted, and you led people to recapture the food and grass, defeating the Gong family army.

The morale of the Gong family is low. According to Chang Yu, the second son of Gong has also been found. "

"Gong Su? Where is he?"

"In the south." Baoer's expression was complicated: "Keep incognito, work under Feng Shaojin, fight against the Orientals with the Feng family army..."

"How did you get this news?

"I heard that Miss Mo sent it back..."
