Chapter 153 Oh, don't worry, wife

At the celebration banquet, Pei Yan raised his glass and said, "My dear ministers, this northern expedition is not the work of me alone." Pei Yan's voice echoed in the hall, "Mo Yuan."

Mo Yuan stepped out and knelt.

"Zhenbei Hou Mo Yuan was fearless in the face of danger and swore to defend Baishui Pass without retreating. I will reward you with a thousand taels of gold and an additional fief of 500 households. You were also seriously injured while defending Baishui Pass. I will allow you to rest. You can come to court when your injuries are healed."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Mo Yuan kowtowed heavily.

After Pei Yan finished his polite words, he sat at the banquet for a while, then said he was drunk and returned to Minguang Hall.

As soon as Mo Yuan received his reward, he ran out of the palace and returned to his Dingbei Marquis Mansion.

Pei Yan returned to the Mingguang Palace, and Eunuch De stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, would you like to ask the imperial physician to check Ping'an's pulse?"

Pei Yan waved his hand to let Eunuch De go down. He went straight into the hall and saw Lu An lying on the bed reading a book. "An An, what are you reading?"

Lu An put down the book in his hand and said, "I didn't read anything. It was just a folk picture book to kill time."

Pei Yan turned Lu An over, dragged him up in his arms, and then lowered his head to kiss him.

Lu An lifted Pei Yan's face from his chest and asked, "Have you been drinking?"

"I drank a little, it's okay, An An, I took a bath today too."

Lu An blushed when he heard this. How could Pei Yan still remember this? He turned over and pressed Pei Yan down, sitting on Pei Yan's waist, hesitating, "Don't move, I'll do it."

Pei Yan was also shocked by An An's words. He tried to cooperate with An An, but after a while Lu An lay on Pei Yan without moving.

Pei Yan tightly grasped Lu An's waist and coaxed in a hoarse voice, "Then An An, take a rest, I'll do it." Pei Yan had been tortured to the limit by An An, he quickly pressed An An under him, and then bursts of groaning sounds came from the hall.

Mo Yuan sneaked back to Marquis Dingbei's Mansion. He didn't know whether Long Qi was asleep or not. The closer he got to the capital, the fewer letters he wrote to Long Qi.

Mo Yuan didn't dare to let Long Qi know that he was injured, but he really wanted to see him, so Mo Yuan sneaked into his room. He walked gently to Long Qi's bed, raised his hand and was about to touch Long Qi's face when Long Qi woke up.

Mo Yuan couldn't touch her, and he couldn't not touch her either. Finally, he simply lowered his head and kissed her. Long Qi pushed Mo Yuan's face away with both hands, "Why didn't you write to tell me when you returned to Beijing?"

Mo Yuan hesitated and didn't say anything, but in Long Qi's opinion, Mo Yuan had done something to let him down. Long Qi took out the key to the accounting office from under the pillow and handed it to Mo Yuan.

When Mo Yuan saw that Long Qi was actually going to hand it to him, he said he didn't want anything and quickly took two steps back, "Wife, what are you doing? I didn't do anything."

Long Qi looked at Mo Yuan and said one word calmly, "Speak."

"What are you talking about?" Mo Yuan asked puzzledly.

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming back to Beijing? Why didn't you write to me? Did you do something shameful?"

Mo Yuan got anxious when he heard this, "You miss me so much, and you are the only one in my heart and eyes. How can you doubt me?"

Long Qi lowered his eyes in disappointment and said, "But you didn't tell me, you didn't tell me you were back."

Mo Yuan looked at Long Qi like this, and his momentum immediately wilted. "I... I just got a little injured. Aren't you worried?"

When Long Qi heard that Mo Yuan was injured, he didn't care about anything else. He got out of bed and started to take off Mo Yuan's clothes.

"Oh my, my wife, don't be impatient, wait a moment."

"Sit on the bed."

Mo Yuan sat on the bed obediently and let Long Qi look at his wound. "I was accidentally burned by the hellfire. Otherwise, it would have healed long ago."

He couldn't help but ask Long Qi, "Do you think the scars on my body are ugly?" Then he said self-deprecatingly, "Of course they are ugly, my whole body is covered with scars."

Long Qi glanced at the wound, re-bandaged Mo Yuan, then lowered his head and kissed Mo Yuan's wound, saying softly, "It's not ugly."
