Chapter 33033 Your body is honest, but your mouth is stubborn
The Duke of Pingyang was still in a daze, but Yun Sheng had already been grabbed by Xie Zhan's waist and lifted onto his horse.
The wind whistled in his ears, and he watched the two overlapping figures walking away. He stood there, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
Xie Zhan's horse had fought with him on the battlefield. The horse was very smart and seemed to be able to keenly sense his master's unhappy mood. He raised his four hooves high, and splashed a cloud of dust when he rolled over.
Yun Sheng was shaken violently on the horse's back, and his body leaned backward unconsciously, as if he had fallen into Xie Zhan's arms.
The man hugged her from behind, pulling the reins without saying a word.
Yun Sheng's whole body was stiff, and he felt that the cold air emanating from Xie Zhan was enough to freeze people to death.
"My Lord, I just..."
She opened her mouth, trying to explain.
Xie Zhan frowned and asked coldly, "Do you know what happens to traitors in the military camp?"
The person in his arms couldn't help but shrink. He laughed and said, "I'll have his body hung up in the sun as a warning to others."
"I just...just bumped into the Duke of Pingyang by accident. I didn't want to be rude, so I just greeted him and said nothing else."
Yun Sheng's lips trembled and a chill ran down his spine.
She had heard Xie Tinglan say that Xie Zhan was good at commanding the army, but his methods were harsh and cruel.
There was no reason to say this; he was warning her.
Yun Sheng's throat felt dry and he said in a daze, "Don't worry, my Lord. I won't."
"Don't you know how or don't you dare?" Xie Zhan lowered his head, and Yun Sheng's dangling earrings flashed in his dark eyes.
"My Lord, you have done me a great favor, and I am willing to do this."
Yun Sheng lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly. It was her own choice to cling to Xie Zhan.
Xie Zhan remained silent for a long time, and only his heavy breathing could be heard in his ears.
He was different today than usual, and he looked even more fierce and intimidating.
Yun Sheng was stunned and wondered if something big had happened during the proofreading.
She was distracted for a moment, thinking that she would go back and ask Ah Xi to find out about it, so as not to bring bad luck to Xie Zhan.
Her back was pressed against his hot chest, and Xie Zhan's heavy breathing fell into her ears. Yun Sheng's body suddenly stiffened.
She bit her lip and looked around guiltily.
Her waist was tightly held by Xie Zhan's slender and powerful arms. She was like limp water, her whole body instantly becoming limp and she couldn't muster any strength.
As the horse galloped, Yun Sheng's long legs hanging on both sides trembled constantly.
Yanhong'er's lips were bitten until they turned white, and she refused to make any embarrassing sound.
Yun Sheng was just glad that there was no one around at the moment and it was empty and lonely.
She was panting softly, her hair was blown by the wind, and her face was flushed.
Xie Zhan turned the person in his arms over and pressed his lips hard against Yun Sheng's. Only then did the depression in his heart disappear for the most part.
_
Yun Sheng was served by Ah Xi and came out of the bathtub.
She was wearing a plain middle-colored shirt and looked up at her skirt hanging on the screen. There was a small piece of fabric that seemed to be sunken in. Because it was soaked in water, the color looked a few degrees darker than the surrounding area.
Ah Xi was curious and asked, "Where did Madam Yun go? Why did her clothes become so stained?"
"I just ran a horse and the autumn air was getting stronger. Maybe I accidentally got soaked in moisture."
Yun Sheng moved his fingers slightly and said a few perfunctory words.
She pulled Ah Xi over, sat him on the couch, and asked, "Have you found any clues about what I asked you to find out?"
Ah Xi curled his lips and said angrily, "You don't know that the Tuque barbarian was beaten to a pulp by the Marquis, yet he still dared to provoke you again and again, stabbing you in the heart. The Marquis still has to consider the face of the court, so how can he be in a good mood?"
The old marquis was a very commanding figure in the army, but when he returned home he was quite kind to his servants and maids, and was a very good man. When the news of his death in battle reached Chang'an, everyone in the mansion wept and naturally hated the Tuqu people to the core.
Yun Sheng was slightly surprised. She really didn't know some of the past events of the Dingbei Marquis Mansion.
When I first entered the mansion, I just wanted to take care of my own affairs. Later, I didn’t ask much about other things, and my days passed in confusion.
"You said the Marquis's mother died of illness when he was young?"
Ah Xi talked incessantly and even wiped away tears when he got angry.
"Isn't it? I heard from Aunt Hua that the Marquis had a hard time giving birth, and that's when he developed a chronic illness. He didn't last long. The Marquis didn't remember anyone back then. Aside from the old lady, he was personally raised by the Marquis since he was a child. With such a deep father-son relationship, that Tuque man not only kept his tail between his legs, but he actually stabbed the Marquis in the heart. What a piece of shit!"
Yun Sheng was dazed, her drooping eyelids cast a small shadow. It turned out that people like Xie Zhan could also be vulnerable at times. She had always thought that he was indestructible.
While the two were talking, Ah Xi saw a figure outside the window and immediately shut his mouth. The Marquis never liked the gossip of his subordinates.
Xie Zhanti stepped inside, Ah Xi closed the door, lowered his head and quietly retreated.
Yun Sheng looked up and saw Xie Zhan frowning, looking unhappy.
He lifted his robe and lay down on the couch.
"My Lord, is your headache coming back again?" Yun Sheng could see some meaning in Xie Zhan's expression.
"Yeah." Xie Zhan supported his forehead with his eyes closed.
Although the weather was fine today, he was still upset just by seeing the Tuqu Khan.
Yun Sheng came over and said softly, "My Lord, lie down for a while. I'll give you a massage."
Xie Zhan's narrow and long phoenix eyes opened slightly, and he looked at Yun Sheng's expression carefully.
Yun Sheng was frightened by his stare and immediately at a loss. He asked, "What are you looking at, Lord? Is it because I didn't wash my face properly?"
"This is the first time you have offered to massage my acupoints." Xie Zhan's eyes were dim as he spoke suddenly.
Yun Sheng turned his head and whispered softly, "My Lord has treated me well, and I should repay you."
Xie Zhan was willing to teach her how to read and write, and how to ride a horse. Apart from the fact that she could not bear his extravagance in bed occasionally, her muddled life was quite comfortable.
"Is that all?" Xie Zhan stretched out his long arm and pulled Yun Sheng into his arms.
He lifted her chin and forced Yun Sheng to look at him.
Yun Sheng couldn't stand Xie Zhan's straightforward gaze. Her eyelashes trembled and she lowered her eyelids.
Just that?
Xie Zhan's words were still ringing in her ears, and Yun Sheng suddenly felt a little flustered. She had always been a person who would be nice to others, so she would be even more kind in return.
As for other things, she didn't want to and dared not think about it. Sometimes being confused can help one live a better life than being sober.
Yun Sheng hummed softly.
Xie Zhan felt an inexplicable tightness in his chest. He withdrew his hand and said calmly, "Come sit over here and rub it."
Yun Sheng took off her shoes and got on the couch. She knelt beside Xie Zhan and gently kneaded his temples.
Xie Zhan sighed comfortably, his eyes swept across the corner of Yun Sheng's skirt, and his frown gradually relaxed.
He had to admit that a melon that was forced upon her was never as sweet as the one she ate willingly.
"Is the Marquis' illness serious? Why don't you find a few more doctors to take a look?" Yun Sheng was a little puzzled.
Xie Zhan's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Yun Sheng. He stared at her intently.
Yun Sheng stiffened and pursed his lips, saying, "I overstepped the bounds."
"My father died in the battle with the Tujue people that night, and that's when I started to suffer from this headache."
Xie Zhan looked out through the half-open window at the red maple leaves that covered the ground.
He remained calm and showed no emotion at all.
Why was this headache so serious? Xie Zhan knew better than anyone that it was more of a heartache than a headache.
Yun Sheng paused for a moment, she lowered her head slightly and only saw half of Xie Zhan's fierce profile.
She calmed down and guessed that she understood why Xie Zhan was unwilling to ask a doctor to see him, because the doctor could not cure his heart disease.
"If the old marquis knew about this in the afterlife, he would certainly be pleased and would not blame you. The marquis should also be at ease."
Yun Sheng opened his mouth and spoke softly.
The old marquis died fighting for the people, and she always held him in awe. Xie Zhan, who inherited his father's legacy, was also admired by the world.
On her way to the Marquis's residence, Yun Sheng felt both respect and awe for her cousin. Xie Zhanruo had never entertained such thoughts towards her. In Yun Sheng's heart, he had always been someone she respected.
Xie Zhan closed his eyes. His father would not blame him. It was he who could not let go of the hurdle in his heart.
In his dreams at midnight, he thought countless times that if he and his army had moved faster that night, his father might still have a chance to survive.
Yun Sheng was not used to this kind of atmosphere. He felt depressed and almost couldn't breathe.
Xie Zhan suddenly stretched out his arms and held her in his arms.
Yun Sheng's hand subconsciously climbed onto his shoulder, and he exclaimed, "My Lord, your head doesn't hurt anymore?"
Xie Zhan curled the corners of his lips and held Yun Sheng tighter.
"Don't move." His Adam's apple rolled and his big hand supported her slender neck.
Yun Sheng turned and leaned on Xie Zhan's shoulder, and the shaking earrings brushed against his ears.
Their breaths intertwined as they hugged each other quietly, without saying a word for a long time.
Yun Sheng's hands dropped to her sides, her face bewildered. Aside from the nighttime cuddles she'd held Xie Zhan like this, they'd never been this close during the day, and she felt a sense of unease.
Ah Xi lifted the door curtain and wanted to pour some tea, but when she saw the scene in front of her, she retracted her foot and walked away quietly.
It was so cozy inside that she couldn't bear to disturb them.
"My Lord?" Yun Sheng's legs were numb from kneeling.
Xie Zhan's face was slightly sunburned, and he suddenly loosened his grip on her hand.
He saw Yun Sheng's little movement, lifted her legs and asked her to straighten them. She almost wrapped them around his waist.
Yun Sheng sat face to face with him, and this posture really made her blush.
She bit her lip and moved slightly twice. Xie Zhan's hot palm suddenly reached into her skirt, and his other hand stroked her back.
Yun Sheng wanted to close her legs, but she didn't know how. The more she moved, the more likely Xie Zhan was to succeed.
The man glanced at her indifferently, and she seemed to be frozen in place, then fell powerlessly on Xie Zhan's shoulder again.
"I have to go to a dinner party later. I just changed my clothes. My Lord, I can't do it."
Yun Sheng blushed and reminded in a low voice, he knew that Xie Zhan was not enjoying himself enough.
"I know, I won't touch you."
Xie Zhan's voice was low, and the warm breath that gushed out of him sprinkled on Yun Sheng's neck, instantly making her soften into a puddle of water.
"You are honest in body, but you are stubborn in words." He curled his lips and chuckled.
Yun Sheng was so ashamed and angry that he wanted to die, and a low moan escaped his lips uncontrollably.
Xie Zhan pinched Yun Sheng's vital point, making her face blush with shame. Her face was hot, her red lips were slightly open, and she couldn't speak.
She looked at Xie Zhan, who seemed to be smiling, and turned her head away.
Yun Sheng curled up her toes, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
