Chapter 26: Sweet to the Heart
At the end of August, it rained several times in the capital of Southern Chu.
In Jinyang Palace, Mrs. Tong reclined on a bench to rest, the night breeze was slightly cool, Huanxiang was worried that her cold would worsen, so she found a thin blanket to cover her. Since Shizifan walked away, Mrs. Tong suffered from cough disease, and she coughed lightly every day, and the imperial doctor was helpless.
"Ahem," the slight movement still woke up the light sleeper, Mrs. Tong lazily opened her eyes and asked, "What time is it?" ”
"Madame, it's past time." Huanxiang said respectfully and poured her a glass of warm water to moisten her throat.
The tea soothed the dryness in her throat, Mrs. Tong sat up weakly in a chair, the thin blanket slid down, the cold hit, Mrs. Tong tightened the blanket on her body, and looked outside the door from time to time: "It's all this hour, why hasn't the news from the border city come yet?" ”
"Maybe it's a delay on the road." Huanxiang said with relief.
"It can't be that something happened to Fan'er, right?" Mrs. Tong said worriedly, and as soon as the words fell, she covered her lips and coughed.
Huanxiang was startled and hurriedly found a mint sachet for her to smell.
Mrs. Tong pressed the sachet to her nose and inhaled the cool smell vigorously, and after a while, the cough subsided.
"Knock knock." There were three crisp and light sounds outside the eaves, and Mrs. Tong's eyes lit up, and she covered her sore chest and said, "Come in!" ”
The palace door creaked open a small corner, and a black shadow flashed in. "Ma'am." The man knelt down and pleaded, "The slave is not doing his job well, so he is only coming now." ”
"How's it going over there?" Mrs. Tong asked anxiously.
"The prince is fine, but a few days ago, a few black-clothed men appeared in the camp and tried to kill the son, but fortunately, the southern soldiers found it in time and saved the son."
When Mrs. Tong heard that someone was plotting to kill Yu Jinfan, she clenched the sachet in her hand: "What about the gangsters?" ”
"Escaped," the man hurriedly added, "The prince has discovered a suspicious person, and is secretly ordering people to pay attention." ”
"Who can you find out who they are?"
"It's Shizihai."
Mrs. Tong's eyes narrowed dangerously, and she looked at the people below coldly: "Let others protect the world, if there is another accident in Fan'er, none of you will want to live!" She coughed again in excitement.
Huanxiang waited carefully on the side, and the man was also worried, and kowtowed: "Madame, take care of yourself." ”
Mrs. Tong waved her hand weakly, her cheeks glowing sickly red from coughing. "You just said that the Southern Soldier saved Fan'er, who is this Southern Soldier?" She asked, leaning back in her chair, unimpressed by the man.
"She is a new recruit, her name is Nanmu, and the prince admires her very much."
Mrs. Tong's eyebrows frowned slightly: "It seems that it is not a simple person to be appreciated by mortals." After a pause, she still didn't feel at ease and said, "Find someone to find out her identity." ”
In the border city, the scorching sun was shining, Yu Jinfan stood on the high platform, Wu Gong and Dong Zhun stood on both sides, and monitored the exercises below with her. If they practice martial arts alone, it will not be beneficial to the Southern Chu soldiers in a short period of time, on the contrary, it will only increase their fatigue and energy consumption before the war.
After some consideration, Yu Jinfan discussed with Wu Gong and other important generals, thoroughly studied the rampant soldiers, and listed the current training methods according to their advantages and disadvantages. Shen Rui, Ning Xiao, Gao Zhongping and Han Yijun led the battalion and personally taught the soldiers.
After half a day of teaching, Shen Rui was already sweating, and when she turned her head and saw Yu Jinfan standing not far away, she walked over quickly: "Water." ”
Yu Jinfan glanced at her and directly threw the water bag in his hand to her.
Shen Rui took it, opened the stopper, and drank it in a big gulp.
She drank in a hurry, water running down the sides of her mouth and down her neck and disappearing into her collar. Yu Jinfan's gaze unconsciously followed the water flow and stopped at the neckline.
After drinking a hearty drink, Shen Rui wiped the water on the side of her mouth: "Comfortable!" ”
Yu Jinfan retracted his gaze and said coldly: "Rude." ”
Outside, Shen Rui couldn't refute her, and snorted lightly and was about to hand her back the water bag-
"I'm dying of thirst." A hand reached out.
Shen Rui hurriedly withdrew the water bag, pressed it on his chest like a treasure, glared at Ning Xiao with a confused face, and said, "What are you doing?" ”
"Drink water!" Ning Xiao said as a matter of course, reaching out to snatch the water bag in her hand.
Shen Rui blocked him with his back, and glared even more fiercely: "Don't drink!" This is the water bag of the prince! ”
Ning Xiao was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "I just saw you drink, how can it be the son of the world." Give it to me. ”
"I want to drink water and go to General Wu." Shen Rui kicked him away, stuffed the water bag into Yu Jinfan's hand, and whispered, "Except for me, you are not allowed to give it to anyone else to drink." After speaking, he glared at Ning Xiao fiercely and returned to the team camp.
"If you don't want me to drink it, forget it, and lie that this is the water bag of the son." Ning Xiao muttered, and turned to Yu Jinfan with a smile-
"Minhyuk, get some water for Brother Xiao." Yu Jinfan said.
Ning Xiao was stunned and watched her put away the water bag.
It was night, and as soon as Shen Rui finished bathing, she was depressed and found that she had a menstrual affair.
Xu was moving all day, and at night, Shen Rui woke up from a raw pain, and her lower abdomen fell uncomfortably. "Bi-" She habitually wanted to call the person beside her, but turned her head to see that she was sleeping soundly. After a whole day of training, Bimachi and Manaki were indeed tired. Shen Rui couldn't bear to wake them up, and quietly left the bed.
The night breeze was a little cool, and Shen Rui wrapped a thick shirt and went out of the tent to boil water. As a result, the water was boiled, but she was so painful that she couldn't stand up.
Although it was night, Yu Jinfan still slept late. When the tea was exhausted, Min Hyuk went out of the tent to make tea, and saw a small fire outside the sub-tent from a distance, and there was a person squatting by the fire. "Who's there?" She snorted and walked over.
"It's me." Shen Rui said weakly, raising his head to look at her.
The firelight reflected on her face, and the pain on her face was clearly visible. Min Hyuk was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to help her: "What's wrong with you?" ”
"My stomach hurts." Shen Rui gasped.
"I'll call the military doctor to show you."
"No, no." Shen Rui hurriedly said, the military doctor saw that the identity of her daughter's family would definitely be discovered. She pointed to the boiling water on the fire, "I'll just drink some hot ones." ”
Yu Jinfan didn't see Min Hyuk come back, thinking that something had happened and came out to look for someone. "Minhyuk?" She lifted the curtain and called.
"Shizi." Min Hyuk replied.
Yu Jinfan followed the prestige, but saw that by the fire, Min Hyuk was holding a person, and the person was half-squatting, looking very painful. "What's going on?" She asked, walking over.
"It's Nan Jiang, she has an upset stomach." Min Hyuk explained.
Yu Jinfan heard that it was her, and his feet didn't feel faster. When I walked up to the person, I saw that her face was ugly. "Where's Bimachi? Did she show you? Yu Jinfan asked, remembering that she had excellent medical skills.
"Not sick." Shen Rui said, motioning for her to come closer, and whispered in her ear.
Yu Jinfan suddenly realized, frowned and said, "Min He, help her to my tent." ”
The tent was warm, and Shen Rui was curled up on the bed, covered with Yu Jinfan's brocade quilt. Seeing that Yu Jinfan was only standing by the bed, Shen Rui looked at her pitifully and said coquettishly: "It hurts"
Yu Jinfan hesitated for a while, poured a cup of hot tea and fed her water.
"Don't go." Shen Rui grabbed her hand that took back the teacup and held it tightly: "Stay with me for a while." ”
Yu Jinfan frowned and withdrew his hand.
A hint of loss flashed in Shen Rui's eyes, but she saw that she put the cup away, folded it back, and sat down next to her on the edge of the bed. "Yu Jinfan, did you say that you are awkward?" She asked with a smile.
Yu Jinfan glanced at her: "It's uncomfortable and there are so many words." ”
"Yu Jinfan, you can help me rub my belly." Shen Rui soft judo.
Yu Jinfan smiled gently, and under her expectant gaze, he reached out and raised the quilt to cover her head.
Shen Rui was depressed, and ripped off the quilt on her head and complained: "I don't understand anything about the fragrance and cherish the jade!" ”
Yu Jinfan gave her a cold look again, took out the left hand that had been in the sleeve and reached into the quilt.
Shen Rui was stunned and looked at her in a daze.
Yu Jinfan turned her head awkwardly, and the warm palm reached through the hem of her clothes, gently covering her cold lower abdomen.
Time seemed to stop, and Shen Rui only had her awkward appearance in her eyes, but how she looked at it, how she only felt cute. "Yu Jinfan, you" she laughed in a low voice, her heart was full, and even the pain was driven away by this warmth.
"Don't think about it." Yu Jinfan said indifferently, his ears were covered by his hair, and they were red a little bit.
Shen Rui didn't expose her, and quietly enjoyed the beauty of this moment, and her face didn't know if it was because of pleasure or not so painful, and she regained a little vitality.
"Shizi." Min Hyuk lifted the curtain and came in.
Yu Jinfan was startled, and withdrew his hand in a panic, his face quickly expressionless.
Min Hyuk didn't notice anything unusual, and came over with the brown sugar water that Yu Jinfan asked for.
"I still have some things, you take care of her and drink." Yu Jinfan said, got up and stood up, walked to the table and continued to read.
Seeing Yiqiē in his eyes, Shen Rui couldn't hold back for a while, and laughed with a snort.
Min Hyuk was about to feed her with brown sugar water, when he saw that she suddenly smiled, he wondered, "What are you laughing at?" ”
Shen Rui shook her head with a smile and sat up slowly: "I'll do it myself." She said, taking the brown sugar water in her hand and drinking it in a few sips. The brown sugar water was sweet to her heart.
