Jiang Yimian found it amusing, turning her head to stare at that handsome face. She thought he was excessively good-looking. His peach blossom eyes should have been affectionate, but he usually looked aloof and indifferent, as if he didn't care about anyone.
But right now, he only has eyes for her.
Her gaze fell on the red mole at the corner of his eye, and she reached out to touch it, gently rubbing it.
Lu Cijian froze, his eyes darkening. He reached out and grabbed the hand that was messing around his eye, kissed it, and said helplessly, "Don't touch me like that."
Jiang Yimian feigned displeasure and said, "What? I'll touch you, and I'll kiss you too!"
As she spoke, she beckoned to him with a smug look, as if she knew the person in front of her would only chuckle helplessly, and was doing it on purpose.
However, Lu Cijian raised an eyebrow, bent down, placed his hands on either side of her, looked down at the person on the soft couch, and smiled, "Then kiss me!"
The distance between the two suddenly closed, so close that Jiang Yimian could see her reflection in Lu Cijian's deep pupils, seemingly surprised and taken aback, appearing somewhat dazed.
Lu Cijian smiled slightly, lowered his head and kissed Jiang Yimian's lips before getting up.
Jiang Yimian suddenly reached out and hooked her arm around the other person's neck, tilting her head and smiling, "I'm going to kiss you."
Lu Cijian was taken aback, "Your wound..."
The rest of the words were swallowed up between their lips.
She was the one who took the initiative, but the other party easily conquered her territory and forced her to retreat step by step.
Lu Cijian only ended the nearly out-of-control kiss when there was a knock on the door.
Their breathing was slightly erratic, and Jiang Yimian's eyes turned slightly red due to the brief lack of oxygen, which was particularly noticeable on her fair face.
The flowers looked like they had been badly bullied and were swaying precariously in the heavy rain. Seeing this, Lu Cijian's Adam's apple bobbed, and he felt his mouth go dry.
He stared at the girl beneath him for a while before pecking her lips again.
Jiang Yimian pushed his shoulder in annoyance and said irritably, "There are people outside."
What were clearly complaints sounded somewhat like a coquettish tone in her flustered state.
Lu Cijian smiled, reached out, bent his knuckles, and gently wiped the corner of her eye before suppressing the restlessness in his heart and getting up.
After carefully bandaging Jiang Yimian's wounds and tidying her clothes, he opened the door.
Wang San stood outside the door and glanced at the two of them strangely. His gaze fell on Jiang Yimian's lips, which seemed unusually red, and he was stunned.
Before he could get a good look, Lu Cijian stepped forward, blocking his view, and said calmly, "What's wrong?"
Upon receiving the young master's unusually cold gaze, Wang Sanzhi was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head and said, "Sir, those three people are dead, and we didn't get anything out of them."
These people were trained and couldn't be gotten anything out of them. Before he could come up with a good solution, the man committed suicide.
Lu Cijian wasn't too surprised by this. The King of Chu was always cunning and wouldn't easily leave any evidence against him. Although these people worked for the King of Chu, they might never have even seen his face.
Not to mention knowing the real reason why the King of Chu killed Wei Jinghai.
He only asked, "How is General Wei's injury?"
Wang San shook his head. "I don't know the specifics, but I heard from Imperial Physician Chen that General Wei's wounds have been treated, so his condition should be stable."
When they brought him back, they heard that the medical officers were almost scared to death. They obviously did not expect that Wei Jinghai would suffer such serious injuries outside the battlefield.
Lu Cijian nodded. "I'll go take a look."
Jiang Yimian quickly replied, "I'll go too."
The two went together to the courtyard where Lin Yan'an and Zhang Duyun lived.
The government office had limited space, but fortunately there were many rooms, so it wasn't too crowded for several people to live in one courtyard.
On the contrary, having more people means there's someone to look out for you.
Upon entering, one could see many medical officers busily working, some brewing medicine, others sweeping the courtyard, and still others disinfecting the courtyard with strong liquor.
Zhao Jie was anxiously waiting at the door of the west room. As soon as he saw Lu Cijian and the other person coming over, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked anxiously, "How come General Wei is so badly injured? Although he can't bring the Black Armor Army back to the capital this time, he should have brought several hundred men with him. How come only General Wei is left? Where are the others?"
He was injured so badly, with wounds all over his body, a bloody mess. If someone hadn't stopped the bleeding, he probably would have died long ago.
General Wei was constantly fighting on the battlefield, and his spear skills were invincible. If someone hadn't deliberately tried to harm him, he could never have been injured like this.
Thinking it over, he lowered his voice and said, "Lord Lu, could it be that General Wei was harmed by spies from Tuyuhun?"
If it weren't for the Tuyuhun people, he really couldn't think of anyone else who could hate General Wei to the bone and have harmed him to this extent.
According to the medical officers, the general had multiple fractures in his legs and arms.
Even if he recovers, it will still affect his future battlefield performance. Such a treacherous person cannot be let off easily.
Looking at Zhao Jie's indignant expression, Lu Cijian simply shook his head. "I don't know."
He secretly suspected that the King of Chu's actions were related to Tuyuhun, but he had no evidence and didn't know his purpose.
If Wei Jinghai dies and the border of the Great Jin falls, Tuyuhun will definitely take the opportunity to launch a large-scale attack on the Great Jin. No matter how powerful the King of Chu is, he cannot resist the Tuyuhun army on his own.
This does him no good at all.
Zhao Jie wanted to ask more, but then he saw that Lu Cijian and Jiang Yimian had already entered the house. There were many people around, so he couldn't speak again and had no choice but to follow them in.
Upon entering the room, the stench of blood filled the air. Two imperial physicians were whispering around a table. When they saw them enter, they quickly bowed to them.
Lu Cijian waved his hand and asked about Wei Jinghai's situation.
Imperial Physician Chen answered each question, “Reporting to Your Excellency, General Wei’s injury is indeed quite serious, but I have already taken care of it. As long as he rests well, he will be fine.”
Lu Cijian then nodded.
Jiang Yimian went to check on the person lying on the bed and only felt relieved after confirming that the wounds had been treated.
Wei Jinghai was indeed seriously injured, but fortunately the bleeding has stopped and the major wounds and fractures have been set. As long as the wounds do not become infected, there should be no major problems.
Her gaze fell on the exquisite porcelain bottle on the small table beside the bed. She picked it up and sniffed it, and a faint medicinal scent instantly filled her nostrils.
The young imperial physician beside Chief Physician Chen, seeing her holding the porcelain bottle and looking at it, smiled and said, "I heard that Miss Jiang was also injured. Do you need this wound medicine? We have quite a few here. If you need them, please take them back."
Jiang Yimian was taken aback, looked up, and a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.
The Imperial Medical Academy is a place where seniority is highly valued, and most of the medical officers who came to Qingnan for disaster relief were older.
But the young man in front of him looked to be only in his early twenties, far too young.
She looked at the Imperial Physician Chen with curiosity and said with a smile, "I thought the medical officers who came to Qingnan this time were all elderly, but I didn't expect there to be one so young."
