Something big had happened in General He's manor. The General, who had always been as healthy as a cow, suddenly contracted a strange disease. His muscles were slowly festering, and yellow pus was flowing out of serious places, making the house stink. It was said that the General's disease could be contagious, so few people dared to approach the small courtyard where the General lived.
The imperial physicians in the palace had made several trips and prescribed many prescriptions, but there was no improvement. They could only lie in bed and rest every day. They did not even have the strength to get out of bed. The servants in the manor guessed that this general who had once galloped on the battlefield was about to die.
Those who knew He Lian were puzzled. He Lian's body had always been as strong as an ox, so how did he suddenly get a strange illness? Some people secretly guessed that the current Crown Prince Zi Mu wanted to get rid of this big problem!
In just a few days, the whole city was in a storm. Everyone knew that General He Lianhe was dying. It was difficult for Zimu not to know. He originally wanted to inspect the army, but after receiving the news, he changed his mind and returned the way he came.
When he returned, he immediately called for the chief steward in the hall.
"Go to the General's Estate immediately and visit the General for me.”
"Yes, this servant understands." This manager had been by Zi Mu's side for several years, so he naturally understood his master's thoughts. This was not a visit, but an investigation.
Before the manager could turn around, Zi Mu continued," You know a little about medicine. Check if he's really sick."”
"Yes."
Just as the manager left, a little girl rushed in and knelt on the ground." Master, please go and save Miss Xiaofu."”The little girl cried as she spoke.
Zi Mu's face darkened." What happened?”
The little girl stammered and did not speak.
Zi Mu didn't have the patience to wait for her to finish, so he walked towards Xiao Fu's residence.
The small path led to a secluded place. It was a winding path paved with broken stone slabs. It passed through a forest that was already covered with red leaves. Deep inside was an exquisite building. The snow-white walls were covered with green branches. The air was filled with the rich fragrance of osmanthus. After entering the door, the fragrance of osmanthus assailed his nose. It turned out that there were several golden osmanthus trees in the small courtyard. The golden osmanthus flowers were in full bloom, and the fragrance was everywhere.
Seeing it, Zimu couldn't help but think of the beautiful figure who was busy taking care of the osmanthus flowers. She once said that she liked osmanthus flowers that could bloom in the autumn when all the flowers were withered, because it could make the desolate autumn look a little warmer.
Hence, he got osmanthus flowers for her.
When he saw her excited smile, he knew that her smile must be more beautiful than any flower.
After entering the small courtyard, he heard the sound of women cursing and the sound of whips hitting his body.
"Hmph, you little slut. I want to see what kind of bewitching technique you used to bewitch His Highness to make His Highness come to you every day. You actually dare to not bow to us when you see us. I'll skin you alive.”
There were three women standing beside him, echoing from time to time." Yes, we'll teach her a lesson today so that she'll remember who we are!”
The woman holding the whip was about to hit him when someone snatched the whip away. The woman was so angry that she shouted," Who is it? How dare you obstruct me…Your Highness…" The woman's arrogance immediately disappeared and she was trembling in fear.
"I wonder who you want to skin?”Zi Mu's tone was as cold as an ice mountain, his eyes filled with rage.
"Your…Your Highness…Your Highness…Spare me…I won't do it again…"
A few women knelt down and cried for mercy.
The corner of Zi Mu's mouth curled up into a cold smile. He pointed at the woman with the whip and said cruelly," Men, throw her to the military camp to be a military prostitute until she dies."”"Those few, give them fifty strokes each. If they're alive, throw them outside. If they're dead, throw them directly onto the mountain to feed the wolves.”
Soon, a few women who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth were pulled out.
Zi Mu carefully picked up Xiao Fu, who was already unconscious on the ground. His clothes were already torn, especially his back, which was hanging on his body like a piece of cloth. The bloody marks were shocking.
Zi Mu had never been a soft-hearted and kind person, but when he looked up, Zi Zhao was leaning against the head of the bed in a deep sleep. The outer garment that was originally covering her body had slipped down to her legs.
He didn't seem to be sleeping well, and his brows were tightly knitted.
His face was pale and his clothes were dirty. He looked extremely haggard, but he was still noble. That was his natural bearing.
For a moment, Hao 'er didn't know what to do.
Hao 'er had to admit that the man who was so close to her had already affected her emotions. It was a throbbing in the depths of her heart after the prosperity.
Hao 'er took a few steps forward and reached out to hold her obviously emaciated cheek. The burning heat was like a fire burning, burning Hao' er's heart.
This popularity was too abnormal.
Her gaze moved down and landed on the man's abdomen. There was a patch of red there, like a large plum blossom in full bloom. It was a shocking sight.
He suddenly realized that his outstretched hand was trembling, and a certain part of his heart was aching.
It turned out that he was not sleeping soundly, but had fainted again.
Although Chen Yan had changed the medicine for him along the way, it was a simple treatment. Coupled with the constant running, the wound had already festered and inflamed.
He shook his hands and untied his clothes and layers of cloth. The wound was very deep, and the flesh at the wound was exposed. It was already festering, and blood was flowing out.
Hao 'er took an exquisite dagger and leaned into Zizhao's ear." Zizhao, I'm going to cut off the rotting flesh around the wound. You have to bear with it!"”
The unconscious Zi Zhao seemed to have heard her call and nodded lightly.
Chun Cao looked at Hao 'er who was treating Zi Zhao's wound and said," Princess, this…will this work? Will it be dangerous?"
"Shut up!" Chen Yan shouted and interrupted Spring Grass." The Crown Prince is blessed by the heavens. How could he be in danger?!"”
Hao 'er gently placed her index finger on her lips and gently stopped the two people from quarreling in the room. She seemed to be born with a kind of magic. No matter who it was, even if it was a violent man, he would unconsciously listen to her arrangements in front of him.
After bandaging his wound, he took out a small black pill and gave it to him.
She carefully placed Zi Zhao's arm under the blanket, and a familiar sunny smile appeared on her face.
"Don't worry. With me around, how can anything happen to him?”
That kind of confident, confident, and elegant smile was enough to make people feel at ease. There was no need to say anything else.
In the entire world, there were not many people who could compare to Hao 'er's medical skills. If she said that she had something to do, then there would probably be no hope for the Crown Prince!
The night was as cold as water.
The wind was gentle like an illusion.
Hao 'er stood by the window and sincerely prayed to the bright moon that the suffering in this world would be reduced from now on!
When Zi Zhao woke up, he saw such a beautiful painting, like a fairy walking out of a painting.
The faint anxiety on her face made his heart ache.
He couldn't help but hug Hao 'er from behind, his cheeks rubbing against her neck like a spoiled cat.
Hao 'er was shocked, but she immediately recovered." You're awake? Why are you suddenly acting like a spoiled child? It's not good for a man to be like this. You're still the crown prince…"
Smiling, she teased Zi Zhao, but in return, the other party raised his sword-like eyebrows.
"So what if he's the Crown Prince? The Crown Prince was also a human. Couldn't the Crown Prince act like an ordinary person? Besides, you didn't treat me as a prince. We agreed that we would do the same in the future. Don't treat me as a prince. Just treat me as a man who loves you.”
It was fine to not treat him as the Crown Prince, but when he became the Emperor in the future, would he not treat him as the Emperor then?
Hao 'er frowned and felt a little distressed, but her expression didn't show it.
But now, how should he appease this crown prince who looked like a cat?
He really had no choice.
Did she really have to treat him like a spoiled cat?
Hao 'er held back her laughter and cleared her throat.
"Is your body okay? Let me help you to the bed to rest?"
"No need. I'm very good now. I'm more than half better after seeing you!”
He laughed again." You're so talkative!... Don't you have anything to say to me?”
"I just missed you and wanted to see you. Who knew that I would encounter robbers on the way.”
Robbers? Then this robber was really powerful. He could be said to be holding Xiao Fu in his arms, carefully not daring to touch the wound on his back.
Perhaps it was too painful, but Xiao Fu frowned and muttered," I…am not…confused…Your Highness…" No…"
Zi Mu didn't say another word. He placed Xiao Fu on the bed and instructed the little girl waiting outside to bring him a medicine box, a clean cloth, and clean water.
She personally cleaned Xiao Fu's wound and changed into a clean set of clothes. Then, she sat by the bed and looked at the pale but still beautiful face with a complicated expression.
She recalled that a few days after she was brought back two months ago, the spy came back and reported that Xiao Fu had never been with her father. It was only until her father passed away that he appeared in Yue Country and disappeared a few days later. Kang Hao was also sending people to look for him. She should not know what happened in Yue Country.
After hearing the news, Zi Mu went to the House of Storms alone. Xiao Fu was painting, and every painting was beautiful. Green mountains and clear waters, red flowers filling the sky.
"Miss Xiao Fu is really good at painting.”
The sudden voice scared Xiao Fu so much that his hand trembled and he accidentally touched a beautiful picture. She looked up and saw who it was. She quickly knelt down. How could a maidservant have such qualifications? It was just that very few people came, so Xiao Fu became bold. Who knew that he would be caught red-handed.
"Get up. Since you are good at drawing, how about drawing a portrait of me?”
Xiao Fu knelt there and did not dare to get up. He said softly," I'm afraid that if I don't draw well, I'll disgrace His Highness."”
"It's alright."
"Who taught you how to draw?"
"It's my mother."
Zi Mu was absent-minded for a moment, but it was only for a moment.
Thus, Zi Mu came every day, and slowly, feelings sprouted in his heart and grew…
A month later, Xiao Fu moved to his current residence. He even gave it a nice name-Fragrance House. Mu Huan sent a servant girl to take care of her.
Xiao Fu was originally unwilling, but who would dare to disobey the master's orders?
Ling Zimu didn't expect that his kind arrangement would cause those women to be jealous and bring disaster to her. He was filled with regret.
Unknowingly, his lips were pressed against hers. It was soft and gentle, as if he was tasting the delicacies of the world.
The person below him instinctively let out a soft moan, as if a stone had been thrown into a calm lake, disturbing the still water…
After a long time, Zi Mu sat up straight, panting. After looking at it for a while, he suddenly got up and left the small building. Zi Mu, who had left in a hurry, did not know that there was a cool gaze watching him from behind…
I wonder whose love the osmanthus flowers in the courtyard in late autumn have charmed and bewitched…
