Chapter 218 The Man Who Came Back
Yun Wansheng was struck by what she was saying, and glared at him slightly: "I wouldn't feel sorry for you. Hurry up."
"Okay! I'll listen to you." Mu Xingci smiled warmly and picked up his cloak and put it on.
After drinking the water, Yun Wansheng felt more energetic: "You can go back!"
"What? I'll throw it away after I'm done using it!" Mu Xingci said with a smile while sitting in front of the bed.
"I'm not in the mood to joke with you. If you want me to recover in peace, then go back. I don't want to cause any misunderstandings."
Mu Xingci's eyes darkened when he heard this: "Wan Sheng, Tian Jinfeng was seriously injured. I think he will definitely agree to cancel the engagement this time."
"Is the injury serious?"
"Yeah! One of his arms was torn in half. It will affect his ability to fight in the future."
"Ah? This... this is too serious." Yun Wansheng instinctively felt a sense of guilt when she heard it.
Although she was forced to get engaged to him, she did not have any deep hatred with Tian Jinfeng after all, and she felt a little reluctant to hurt him like this.
Mu Xingci looked at the trace of guilt on the woman's face and curled the corners of his lips: "You don't have to feel sorry for him. If he was really a kind person, I wouldn't have schemed against him like this. Now he has ended up like this, it's all his own fault."
"What do you mean by that?"
"I'll tell you in detail when you're better. Go to sleep! I won't leave until you fall asleep." Mu Xingci tucked the quilt for her and then began to get dressed.
Yun Wansheng looked at him, fully dressed, and said, "Blow out the lights before you leave! I can't sleep with the lights on."
"Yes! As you say." Mu Xingci stepped forward, leaned over and kissed her on the forehead: "Go to sleep! If you need anything, just shout. There are maids waiting outside."
"I understand." The man's touch made Yun Wansheng's heart beat faster.
Mu Xingci left with reluctance in his eyes, and Yun Wansheng closed her eyes. However, the pain in her body made it difficult for her to fall asleep.
Mu Xingci returned to his own tent and turned to look at Qi Yi: "Have you taken care of my whereabouts?"
"Regent, rest assured. After you went to Shangguan Lan's tent, I replaced all the soldiers guarding this post with our own. No outsiders are allowed to approach or leave. No one knows when you left, and no one knows you stayed until midnight.
The Empress Dowager also wanted to see you when she returned to the accounting office, but no one has come to summon you since then." He said respectfully.
"I am confident in your work. It's getting late, you should go back to sleep! Thank you for your hard work." Mu Xingci said in a gentle tone.
"It's not hard for me, Regent. You should go to bed early."
"Um!"
As soon as he left his master's tent, he went back to rest.
Mu Xingci went to bed and wanted to sleep, but he was always thinking about the injured woman. She was injured at the moment and must be in pain.
As he thought about it, he always felt that it was too pitiful to leave her alone as a wounded person. This made him feel uneasy and he couldn't sleep.
Finally, he couldn't help but got up, dressed and walked out.
He walked towards Shangguan Lan's tent, passed several tent offices, and arrived at the big tent where the woman lived.
Just as he was about to lift the curtain and go in, his sensitive ears suddenly heard a woman sobbing from inside, which made his heart ache, and he immediately walked in.
The woman's figure could not be seen in the dark tent. Mu Xingci followed the sound of her crying and walked over: "Wan Sheng!"
His voice was filled with worry and heartache, and his palm naturally held the little hand that was wiping away tears.
Yun Wansheng, who was crying, didn't expect that this man would come back.
Originally she was just crying because of the pain, because when she woke up, she felt the pain in her heart was getting more and more painful, and finally it hurt so much that she couldn't help but cry.
Originally, I could just cry secretly, but when I saw this bastard coming back and calling my name with concern, I don't know why, I felt wronged and couldn't help crying.
Mu Xingci didn't expect that the woman would cry even more sadly after he arrived. Her crying made him feel distressed and helpless: "Don't cry, don't cry. If you really don't want to see me, I will leave right away." As he said that, he let go of her hand and was about to leave.
But as soon as he turned around, someone grabbed his sleeve, which made him stop immediately.
The woman continued to cry, but did not let go of him. Mu Xingci instead held the little hand that was trying to keep him.
"Does the wound hurt?" Mu Xingci looked at the woman across the dark night.
"Yeah!" Yun Wansheng responded crying.
"I'll go light the candle first."
After hearing this, Yun Wansheng choked with sobs and let go of him.
Mu Xingci took out the fire starter that he had always prepared from his sleeve pocket.
When the candlelight lit up the tent, Mu Xingci picked up the medicine bottle on the table, took out two pills, and poured a cup of warm water.
Yun Wansheng's eyes were moist as she turned sideways and looked at him. Seeing the man walking towards her with water, her tears flowed into the pillowcase again due to his concern.
When people are at their weakest, they most desire to have someone kind to take care of them. She thought she could only lick her wounds alone in the dark.
But what she didn't expect was that when she was most helpless, a ray of light came towards her, which instantly shattered her lonely and arrogant heart, and she could no longer maintain her self-esteem and pride.
Mu Xingci looked at her tearful eyes, his eyes slightly painful: "Come, drink the medicine, this medicine reduces fever and relieves pain, the pain will be relieved after drinking it."
He spoke gently, stuffed the medicine into her little mouth, and then fed her water with a ceramic spoon, allowing her to drink the medicine without moving.
After putting the teacup back, he walked over to her and sat down, covering her with the quilt to prevent her from getting cold due to the wind.
"Wan Sheng, this injury on your heart should not be treated with excitement. From now on, you should talk less and sleep more. This way, your injury will heal faster and the pain will be relieved." Mu Xingci advised with seemingly experience.
"Yeah!" Yun Wansheng blinked her moist eyes.
Mu Xingci took out his handkerchief and wiped the tears from her face: "Go to sleep! I'm here with you."
Yun Wansheng's eyes were slightly startled: "No, you can go back soon! I'm fine."
"Don't worry about me, just go to sleep!" Mu Xingci's eyes were full of tenderness.
Yun Wansheng was about to speak again when Mu Xingci placed a finger on her lips and said, "Be obedient and go to sleep. The medicine will work faster if you fall asleep."
This time, Yun Wansheng listened to him, closed her eyes, and waited for sleep to come.
Mu Xingci looked at the woman who had obeyed him for the first time with a bit of amusement and helplessness, his eyes full of doting tenderness.
If she were like this every day, I wouldn't have to worry. Oh! I hope today's situation is a good start for them.
When Yun Wansheng thought she couldn't sleep because of this man beside her, she fell asleep unexpectedly, and slept very soundly. It seemed that the medicine took effect and made her feel no pain temporarily.
Mu Xingci sat by the bed and watched her all the time. He didn't leave even when he saw that she fell asleep. He just stayed with her quietly so that she could sleep peacefully and no longer face the pain alone.
