The next moment, a faint fragrance wafted into her nostrils. The smell was very familiar. At this moment, Tang Youyou was like a bristling kitten that was instantly soothed.
"Rong Xun, what on earth are you doing? Not lighting a lamp at night. Who are you trying to scare in the dark?" Seeing this man's irresponsible look, Tang Youyou couldn't help but tease.
However, the man in front of her still hugged her tightly and held her even tighter as she nagged.
Just as she was about to open her mouth to ask, the man coughed softly in the darkness, and the smell of blood instantly filled the air.
Tang Youyou immediately noticed something was wrong with the man in front of her. She bent down forcefully and took the weight of the man onto her back.
Then, she exerted all her strength to put the tall and big Rong Xun on the bed in the inner chamber in the distance.
Looking at Rong Xun who was still gasping for breath, Tang Youyou immediately became worried. She gently placed her small hand on Rong Xun's forehead and felt the heat coming from it.
She couldn't help but complain, "What on earth did you do? Why are you so hot?"
She took out the medicine bottle from her bosom and put the Dragon Bone Grass pills made in the forest a few days ago into Rong Xun's mouth. However, the man in front of her had no strength at all and couldn't even swallow.
But the fever on his body still didn't subside. In a hurry, Tang Youyou bit the pill between her teeth, then bent down and pressed her lips against Rong Xun's. As their lips met, the pill went down Rong Xun's throat.
Hearing the sound of swallowing, Tang Youyou finally felt relieved. But at this moment, Tang Youyou just saw in the faint moonlight that the clothes on Rong Xun were not the dark golden long robe he usually wore, but a set of night clothes.
This was...
Suddenly, a group of people flashed outside the window. These people moved in an orderly manner, each holding a torch in their hands.
The voices of other people came from outside.
"Hurry up! Go and check over there!"
Hearing this voice, Tang Youyou immediately held her breath and carefully took off Rong Xun's clothes. But accidentally, she touched the wound on his waist.
"Hiss."
Rong Xun accidentally gasped in pain, which caught the attention of the people who were searching outside. The next moment, the main door of the main hall was pushed open.
Immediately, the whole hall was brightly lit.
Those people rushed in and began to search everywhere. After a while, these people stopped in front of the bed in the inner chamber.
These people seemed to understand each other tacitly and all stopped here without moving. One of them lit the candles around.
Just as the candlelight illuminated, Tang Youyou pulled down the bed curtain in advance. The candlelight shone on the bed curtain, reflecting the figures of two people making love.
At this moment, Tang Youyou's long hair was loose and fell on Rong Xun's strong chest. Their movements became even more strange with the atmosphere around them.
Hearing the movement outside, Tang Youyou immediately leaned down and lay on Rong Xun's chest. She pinched this man's private parts hard. The half - conscious Rong Xun instantly woke up.
He looked at the girl sitting on him in a mandarin duck bellyband, who was vigilantly looking at the people outside, and instantly understood what had happened.
Then, he grabbed Tang Youyou's waist with his big hand. With just a gentle squeeze, Tang Youyou let out a muffled groan.
Before she could speak, Rong Xun immediately scolded the few people in front of the bed.
"How dare you break into my residence in the middle of the night!"
Rong Xun's words were full of authority even without anger, which made those people kneel on the ground immediately when they heard it. He motioned for Tang Youyou to lie behind him. He half - lay on the bed, propping up his upper body with one hand. He leisurely stretched out his slender finger, casually lifted the bed curtain, and looked at the people in front of him.
"Are you still standing here? Are you tired of living?"
Hearing this, the few people who originally wanted to find out the truth were instantly scared out of their wits. They scrambled out of the main hall one by one and didn't forget to turn off the lights when they left.
Seeing this, Tang Youyou finally let out a sigh of relief. But she still worried that the man in front of her might tear the wound because of his anger just now.
Tang Youyou carefully sat up and tentatively reached for the candle in the distance. When she lit the candle, she saw the big and small beads of sweat on Rong Xun's face clearly.
She nervously picked up her medicine box and began to treat him.
"Rong Xun, hold on. I'll stitch your wound up later. Don't make a sound! Otherwise, it will attract those people outside."
Hearing this, Rong Xun nodded. Then a smile appeared on his pale face. He said weakly, "It's okay. As long as you treat me, I won't feel pain."
Seeing that he still had the mind to tease, Tang Youyou immediately picked up the needle and thread in her hand.
Insert the needle, lift the thread, stitch, and withdraw the needle.
Her movements were done in one go without any extra movements. Then Tang Youyou fed Rong Xun a bunch of pills as if these pills were free.
After an incense stick's time, the man's fever finally subsided.
Tang Youyou also breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked at Rong Xun with a complaining look on her face and couldn't help but scold, "I've only been away from you for one day, and you've become like this. How can I rest assured that you'll go back to Chang'an?"
"Tell me, how did you get this wound?"
Just now, when Tang Youyou was stitching his wound, she noticed that the wound was cut by a sharp weapon. Moreover, the blade of this sharp weapon was poisoned, which made him weak all over and have a high fever.
If she hadn't met him in time, she didn't know what would have happened.
Thinking of this, Tang Youyou got angry.
Seeing this, Rong Xun propped up his body with difficulty and sat up. He smiled and said, "Little You'er, I just went to deal with some things. But on my way back, I encountered some troubles. Now it's all sorted out. You don't have to worry anymore."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou was skeptical. She folded her hands on her chest and said angrily with a cute and serious face, "Are you telling the truth or a lie? Can you guarantee that you won't come back all injured next time?"
As soon as Tang Youyou's question was out, the man in front of her immediately nodded and promised, "Naturally, I will. Next time I'll come back intact and won't be like today."
After getting Rong Xun's promise, Tang Youyou didn't say anything more. She just changed the gauze for him every once in a while.
She repeated this and stayed up all night.
In the second half of the night, Rong Xun also fell into a deep sleep because of the effect of the medicine in his body and had a good night's sleep.
The next day, Tang Youyou woke up suddenly from her dream. She looked at the bed and found that the man who should have been recuperating had disappeared.
Tang Youyou rushed out of the main hall anxiously. Just as she was about to go out bare - footed and with her hair loose, a woman in a black tight - fitting suit walked towards Tang Youyou.
