Chapter 44: Be honest with each other
It is rumored that Mu Yan has excellent bones, and after the cultivation of the old lady, he is a rare martial arts wizard, and he can have a lot of insights into political affairs in addition to swordsmanship at a young age.
The most important thing is that after the rumor came out, no one had ever seen this genius with excellent bones touch a sword, and the subsequent world also tacitly assumed that the former was a rumor that he was a swordsmanship wizard.
After Jiang Liyue left for a short time, Mu Yan first held a volume of poetry and flipped through it for a long time, felt that the room was a little stuffy, so he thought about going to the corridor for a walk, never thought that he happened to see the spruce who hurried to the bath room with a red lacquer plate, and when she got closer, she saw Mu Yan standing in place, and hurriedly bowed slightly, and the other hand that was not holding the lacquer plate kneaded his abdomen again and again, Mu Yan saw this and asked: "Why are you in such a hurry?" ”
"Lang Jun, it was the county lord who asked me to send her another dress, the one I picked today is a little misfitting, but I don't know why my abdomen has been cramping, and Han Dong can't find anyone, I'm just going to rush now."
The pain in her abdomen became even more intense when Spruce's voice fell, and even her shoulders trembled slightly, Mu Yan saw that her condition was not right, and immediately said, "You go down and deal with it first, I will send these clean clothes." ”
Spruce was stunned for a moment, and said in a trembling voice: "If Lang Jun wants to find the county lord, you can wait for the county lord to bathe and change clothes and leave the bath room..."
"Wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate to rush in?" After thinking about the wording for a long time, Spruce can be regarded as having finished speaking.
Mu Yan had never thought about it so deeply, and was just worried that Jiang Liyue would faint after bathing in it for too long, so he took the red lacquer plate in Spruce's hand: "Don't delay, you will go down first since you are unwell, I am husband and wife with her, so naturally there is no need to avoid these." ”
In the end, it was because of his body that his thoughts froze for a moment, and after the spruce reacted, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Since this is the case, I will bother Langjun, and the maid will retreat first." ”
The bathtub was steaming, Jiang Liyue was gently rubbing the snow-white shoulder on the right side with her fingertips, and now there was a still ugly mark on it, although the doctor said that if she applied some ointment, she might not leave a scar, but now that the wound has just grown new muscle, it is inevitable that it will leave a mark, and she closed her eyes.
Although she rushed to Jizhou to save Mu Yan without hesitation and recklessly, she didn't care about the so-called small injuries on her body, but every time she stared at this new skin, she had a little headache, she didn't care, but Mu Yan didn't know if she would care in the future...
The thought was only halfway through, there was a "squeak" sound outside, the door was pushed open, the action was always gentle, and then a sound of footsteps was near, the figure behind the screen flickered, there was still a layer of low-hanging curtain separating the two, the candle flame on the bronze candlestick standing in the corner shook a few times, and the bathroom room was filled with the soft smell that Jiang Liyue had always carried, Mu Yan wanted to put down his clothes and then asked Yuanqing Xun Handong to come and serve.
Jiang Liyue, who was sitting on the bathtub opposite, rubbed her snow-white shoulders and saw that the person waiting behind the screen did not move for a long time, and then said: "After that, put on the ointment for me, spruce, there are some places where I can't see it, it's not very convenient." ”
It's also strange to say, this time Spruce only went to pick up clothes, and actually went for most of the day, if it weren't for Handong's sudden discomfort, she would have already finished bathing and changing, and now she is thinking about Mu Yan's matter, and she has no mind to soak in the bathtub, and just wants to change her clothes and go back to the room after the morning medicine.
The candle flame on the candlestick was burning quietly, glowing with a warm yellow light, and a thin white mist was between the two, Jiang Liyue's neck was clinging to the wet long hair, and the snow-white elbows were already quietly placed on the edge of the bath barrel.
"How can it be so quiet today? Isn't it always noisy on weekdays? ”
Once upon a time, when the spruce was waiting for her to bathe, she always had to find an opportunity to say a few words before she would stop.
Mu Yan quietly removed his gaze that inadvertently glanced at the two soft petals in front of her, coughed slightly, and pretended to be calm: "Spruce has an uncomfortable stomach, and when he met me on the road, I sent this dress first, and I originally wanted to find Handong to serve you." ”
It was already very clear that he didn't need to explain the situation in the future, after all, she personally asked for the ointment just now, and now the dilemma is also because of her sudden request.
Jiang Liyue replied lightly: "That's the case, and it's the same for Lang Junlai." ”
Having said that, she had shrunk down quietly, stretched her elbow that was originally on the edge of the bath bucket into the water, and as soon as her body moved, Mu Yan got closer, looked directly into her eyes, forcibly suppressed the throbbing in her heart, and said word by word: "Madame seems to be a little afraid of me?" ”
Jiang Liyue hurriedly shook her head, and her heart beat uncontrollably, how could she explain that it was not fear but the shyness of a woman.
Although he had already been honest with each other, it was probably the first time to be open to him in such a conscious state, so he leaned over and forced him down, the distance between the two suddenly shrank, and she could even clearly feel the oncoming breath of his own.
Her hibiscus face turned crimson from the heat and the throbbing in her heart, and the moist layer of mist added a little hazy beauty, leaned back against the barrel wall behind her, and looked up at him: "Lang Jun, why don't you wait for me to change into clothes and then talk to you in detail?" I'm not afraid of you, but I never thought that Lang Jun would be so close to me. ”
Mu Yan's eyes stared at her for a long time, and then his gaze went down her slightly misty crimson cheeks, and he glanced at her shoulders that had shrunk under the surface of the water very slowly: "Your hand has just been drugged, and now that you are shrunk underwater, won't your efforts be wasted?" You put your hand out again, and I put your medicine on you and go out. ”
Jiang Liyue followed his line of sight and glanced down, pondered for a long time and wrapped his hands staggered underwater, and finally only exposed a part of his neck, and said in a very weak voice: "This injury is not yet complete, I am afraid that I will scare Lang Jun, I can do it myself, I don't need to scare Lang Jun, Lang Jun will wait outside the screen for a while." ”
Mu Yan paused and didn't move, as if he was still insisting on personally medicating her, the two confronted each other for a long time, Jiang Liyue gradually gained the upper hand, and had to compromise and stretched out her shoulders from under the water, and at the same time brought a wave of water ripples: "It's Lang Jun who wants to see it, but don't blame me for not saying it in advance, and besides, Lang Jun is not allowed to dislike this injury and ugliness after seeing it." ”
When she wears wide-sleeved clothes on weekdays, she can completely cover this injury, and the time when she can see it every day is when she is bathing, and the rest of the time she will not even pay attention to herself, she originally had the idea that maybe Mu Yan would not see the wound when the injury was healed, but there was an accident at the critical moment.
Mu Yan took a clean handkerchief and wiped her wet arm for her, and only when she was ready to take the medicine did she respond: "How can I hate you, Madame is not allowed to be presumptuous anymore, this injury is because of me, I will ask the doctor another day to see if there is a way to get rid of this scar as soon as possible." ”
Jiang Liyue hesitated, let out a long breath, and leaned into his ear: "It's okay, I can still deal with this little injury, not to mention that after so many days, it has scabbed and new muscles." ”
Mu Yan's shoulders moved slightly, but the strength of his hands was very light, and after taking the medicine on her left shoulder, he turned around and walked to her right side, took the medicine hand, leaned over to her elbow and dropped a kiss, and after leaving for a while, he reapplied the medicine again: "Thank you, madam, I will definitely protect Mrs. Wang, so that Mrs. will no longer have these worries." ”
After the medicine on her elbows was ready, Jiang Liyue originally wanted to get up and change into clean clothes as usual, but when she saw Mu Yan's eyes, she unconsciously blushed, and at this moment, she just had to bite the bullet and said: "Yan Lang, can you close your eyes, and I will let you open them after I change my clothes." ”
Mu Yan bowed slightly, and said again: "Since the medicine is good, why don't I go to the screen first and wait?" ”
Jiang Liyue bit her lip and lowered her head to think for a long time, raised her eyes and shook her head: "No need, Yan Lang can close his eyes first, I still need Yan Lang to assist me for a while." ”
Mu Yan really closed her eyes as she wished, she stretched out her hand and shook it in front of his eyes, after making sure that Mu Yan would not open it again, she held the wall of the bucket with both hands, and stood up from the water with a "bang", the water droplets slipped down her creamy skin, and the warm skin was exposed to the air, she shivered, climbed Mu Yan's shoulder out of the bath bucket, and Mu Yan felt the force on her shoulder, and then closed her eyes and moved a few steps out of her strength.
Jiang Liyue took a cloth towel to wipe her body, put on her clothes and lowered her head to tie the belt, after tying the belt, she checked the placket, and after seeing that there was nothing abnormal, she calmed down, stepped forward, approached Mu Yan and quickly dropped a kiss on his closed eyes: "You can open your eyes, I have changed my clothes." ”
Mu Yan breathed a long sigh of relief, and slowly opened her eyes after listening to her words, she blinked, her fingertips hooked Mu Yan's fingertips, and said softly: "I have something to ask Yan Lang, Yan Lang has to tell me truthfully." ”
Mu Yan grabbed her hand with his backhand and walked out, and when he reached the corridor, he glanced at the somewhat cold moonlight before he spoke: "If you have anything you want to ask, just ask." ”
His voice was as soft as the glow of the moon, Jiang Liyue walked forward aimlessly, stopped at a pillar a few steps away, looked into his eyes, and said in a calm tone: "Yan Lang, have you not told me the truth about some things?" For example, you actually know swordsmanship. ”
Mu Yan was slightly stunned at first, and his originally tightly knit brows immediately relaxed, with a faint smile on his face: "I can't hide it from Madame's insight, but I didn't deliberately hide it from you at first, but I really haven't danced a sword for a long time, and I'm worried that Madame will be interested in asking and disappointing you, so I didn't mention it, not to mention that it is a small swordsmanship, so it will not be so legendary as rumored in the market." ”
His tone was not slow, but it really made Jiang Liyue understand her a little more from it, she led people in front of her to continue to walk a few steps forward, and said very calmly: "Then let me guess, this swordsmanship was taught by my grandmother?" ”
