Chapter 280 Are You Poisoned or Drunk?
"And, he also used leeches, which were as long as his fingers, and put them on my wounds, letting the leeches suck my blood. Woohoo, it hurts so much." Wen Ziduan gently put his head on He Zhaojun's shoulder, his lazy tone sounding like a coquettish act.
After hearing this, He Zhaojun finally softened her heart and stopped struggling. She lay on the bed, allowing Wen Ziduan's arms and legs to press on her and wrap his whole body around her.
"You have suffered." He Zhaojun knew very well how dangerous Wen Ziduan's journey was, so when Wen Ziduan said these words, she could only feel distressed.
As she spoke, she reached out and touched Wen Ziduan's head, her tone rather comforting. Wen Ziduan had lost a lot of weight, and matters such as the reconstruction of Qianwei County and the aftermath of the war were all depending on him for approval.
Documents and memorials were delivered to his study like a stream. Wen Ziduan, with a wound that exposed his bones, worked hard day after day until late at night, never complaining of being tired or in pain.
The more this happened, the more helpless he seemed when he complained about his grievances next to her. He Zhaojun knew in her heart that Wen Ziduan was probably playing tricks and looking for an opportunity to say bad things about Long Feibai, but she didn't want to expose him.
"Li Fu stayed in Ba County and began to eliminate the remaining followers of Tian Shuo. I believe there will be news soon, and you won't be so exhausted. Jin Jianxiong has already admitted that he is Jin Yuji's brother-in-law and was instigated by Tian Shuo and others to pursue my fourth brother and me."
At this point, He Zhaojun couldn't help but kiss Wen Ziduan on the cheek. "I heard that you and Li Fu were ambushed shortly after leaving Ba County. The situation was truly dire. I'm grateful that you were willing to sacrifice yourself and disguise yourself as a woman. Otherwise, with my skills, I would definitely not have been able to escape."
Wen Ziduan let out a long "hmm" and narrowed his eyes, clearly feeling a bit flattered by He Zhaojun's praise. He was clearly very happy, but he didn't want He Zhaojun to notice.
"What's wrong with dressing up as a girl for my new bride? The difference between a man and a girl is not in appearance. As a human being, you should stand tall and upright!"
He Zhaojun was at a loss for words after hearing these taunting words. Was Wen Ziduan spreading his peacock tail again? A hint of mischief rose in He Zhaojun's heart.
"Yes, Ziduan is incredibly handsome. He's not only a beauty, but also a real man... Even on our wedding night, he still cried and begged me not to leave him alone."
"Ah? Why have you never told me?"
Wen Ziduan sat up, his eyes wide. How could he have said such a thing? He admitted that he had thought about it more than once, fearing that He Zhaojun would abandon him, but he would never tell anyone.
He hurriedly grabbed He Zhaojun's sleeve, pressed her down, and looked down at her condescendingly: "What did I say that day?"
Wen Ziduan pursed his lips and spoke thoughtfully, "If he said something nonsense because of the poisoning or the effects of the medicine, don't take it to heart! What he said that day is not counted!"
He Zhaojun looked up and met Wen Ziduan's gaze, feigning disappointment. "Oh... so you're telling me that your love for me at first sight when we first met in the Fengyi bamboo forest was also a lie?"
"This, this is natural..." It's true.
Wen Ziduan only felt his ears burning. Poisoning was really bad. His nerves were damaged and he couldn't even control what he wanted to say. All the most secret things that he kept deep in his heart were revealed.
It felt like he usually dressed neatly and maintained a perfect image in front of He Zhaojun all day long, but because of poisoning and high fever, he was forced to circle in front of He Zhaojun without any protection.
He Zhaojun pushed him down at this moment, clamped his chin with her cool fingers, and raised the corner of her mouth: "Hmm?"
