Mu Tuo and Ling Fengyi exchanged a few polite words, then they drank and listened to the songs without engaging in further conversation.
Mu Tuo came for a while, went through the motions, and then left. It was mainly Mu Xi who accompanied Ling Fengyi and the others.
"master"
"Um"
Mu Xi responded lightly. Dou Shiliu, behind him, smiled and poured him a cup of light wine. After putting away the wine pot, he casually asked, "What did you mean by what you said today, Master?"
Seeing the little guy's indirect questioning, Mu Xi felt a little amused, but calmly lifted her eyelids and replied, "The literal meaning."
Dou Shiliu's eyes fell on Mu Xi, a smile playing on her lips: "So, we're together now~"
You can't go back on your word!
"I don't care if you change your mind."
Dou Shiliu's slightly playful voice reached Mu Xi's ears, and he couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"Um"
His understated response carried with it a heavy promise to the woman.
...
Vertical day
Ling Fengyi came to see Mu Xi
"Yan Xiaoyan, she's a pharmacist brought by my younger sister; perhaps she can be examined by Prince Mu."
Ling Fengyi looked at Mu Xi by the desk, while Dou Shiliu's eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything.
"No"
Mu Xi calmly declined, and as Ling Fengyi expected, he smiled and said, "Alright then."
Xiao Yan's medical skills are no joke, but since Mu Xi is unwilling, he won't say anything more.
Ling Fengyi nodded: "Then we'll be leaving the Muwang Mansion now."
"good"
Since Mu Xi doesn't want to be treated, Ling Fengyi will take Yan Xiaoyan and Ling Zhenbao back to Beiwu Kingdom today.
The moment the female lead left, Dou Shiliu felt a surge of joy, a smile appeared on his lips, and the coldness in his eyes faded somewhat.
Mu Xi naturally noticed, but he didn't say anything and continued to live his ordinary life as always.
Under the trees in the courtyard, Mu Xi was still sipping his light tea, but this time he had Dou Shiliu by his side.
The setting is the same as before, but the relationships are different.
"Does Mu Tuo want to borrow troops to attack a foreign country?"
Dou Shiliu also took a small sip of tea and casually brought up the matter.
"Um"
Mu Xi nodded, looked at the girl beside him, and touched her palm, which was covered with calluses from years of martial arts practice.
"I'll probably be busy for a while."
"Do you need my help?"
Dou Shiliu looked at him. Attacking a foreign country was not so simple. Her current combat strength was quite good.
"No need, you just stay in the palace and wait for me to return."
"Are you going to the front lines?"
Dou Shiliu stared directly into Mu Xi's amber-like pupils, and instantly became beautiful.
"Yes, this is a deal between me and Mu Tuo."
After saying that, neither of them spoke again. Dou Shiliu turned around and left the Muwang Mansion immediately after Mu Xi finished speaking.
Mu Xi watched her leave from where he stood. He didn't want her to go to the battlefield with him; he couldn't protect her now.
When night fell, Dou Shiliu came in carrying a large bundle of things. Mu Xi could smell a strong medicinal odor even before she got close.
After handing over all the medicinal herbs he had painstakingly purchased to the servants, Dou Shiliu gave them a few instructions, and the servants nodded and left.
"You're back, let's eat."
After Mu Xi saw that she had finished her work, she spoke calmly, not curious about what she had done.
Dou Shiliu washed his hands and then sat down at the table. Mu Xi dismissed the servants, so only he and Dou Shiliu were at the table.
"Muxi, I intend to treat you."
Mu Xi paused slightly, her hand holding the jade chopsticks. She raised her eyes, her gaze flickering slightly. "No need."
Dou Shiliu blinked, looking at the indifference in his eyes, "No, I've already bought it, and I have to try it out."
Mu Xi put down her chopsticks and said, "Dark One," her eyes falling on Dou Shiliu.
"Um?"
Do you want me to stand up?
Dou Shiliu blinked, looked at Mu Xi, and said softly, "Yes, I hope you can stand up."
It was because the female lead, Yan Xiaoyan, healed Muxi's leg that he fell in love with him, and that's why he wanted to help him heal his leg.
Mu Xi looked at the girl with his slender eyes, and the deep affection in her eyes stirred his heart.
Even if his leg doesn't get better, he's still willing to cooperate with her treatment.
Muqi compromised, and after they finished eating, the servants had almost finished preparing the medicinal herbs.
Since it was the first time, the medicinal herbs that Dou Shiliu gave her were not too strong. When she pushed Muxi to take a bath...
Her small hand was about to reach for her belt when it was abruptly stopped halfway by a delicate, knotted hand. Mu Xi raised her eyes slightly and moved her thin lips: "I'll do it."
Dou Shiliu asked doubtfully, "Let me hurry up."
"You're not officially married into the family yet."
Mu Xi casually reminded her that it was already inappropriate for a man and a woman to be alone in a room together; if she were to take off her clothes, that would be unacceptable.
"..."
Dou Shiliu raised an eyebrow. "These formalities are unimportant."
Mu Xi looked at her calmly and said, word by word, "I think it's very important."
Well, Dou Shiliu couldn't overpower him, but he still called An Er to help him.
After Muxi was immersed in the medicinal water, Dou Shiliu pushed open the door and came in. The room was now shrouded in mist.
All Dou Shiliu could see was the lean and strong arm resting on the edge of the wooden tub. The mist obscured Mu Xi's face, making it impossible for Dou Shiliu to see his expression.
How are you feeling?
Dou Shiliu wanted to reach his hand into the water.
"stop"
Dou Shiliu looked at him in confusion, "?"
Mu Xi's face was slightly flushed, but fortunately, the current situation made it impossible for Dou Shiliu to notice. An awkward look flashed in his eyes.
I'm not used to being touched by others.
To everyone's surprise, as soon as he said that, Dou Shiliu went into the water and started massaging the acupoints on his immobile leg.
Muxi: "..."
Dou Shiliu didn't explain, but just glanced at him and said, "Be good, don't move."
Muxi: "..."
My ear tips turned red, making me want to bury myself in water.
It took about half an hour to knead.
Dou Shiliu raised her eyelids. "How are you feeling?"
Mu Xi shook his head; he felt nothing and remained the same as before.
Of course, he wasn't too panicked about this, after all, he had been soaking in the medicinal bath for a long time, and the herbs in An Yi's prescriptions were all prescribed by doctors who had seen him before.
But he didn't say anything and let Dou Shiliu continue.
It feels good to be cared for.
Dou Shiliu wasn't in a hurry. She poured the spiritual spring water into the medicinal pool and then massaged herself for half an hour.
This time, a strange look flashed in Mu Xi's eyes; he could feel a very slight, subtle heat.
"How is it?" Dou Shiliu asked Mu Xi, seeing his amber eyes suddenly become deep and profound, he felt more confident.
A smile involuntarily crept onto his lips. "Looks like it's having some effect."
Mu Xi wanted to speak, but found that he couldn't say anything. He looked at Dou Shiliu with burning eyes. When he was 14 years old, his legs fell from hell to the deepest abyss and he had no feeling at all.
But now...
Mu Xi pursed his thin lips, looking at the smile in the woman's eyes.
