The Empress Dowager and the Emperor of Chu were taken aback by Lou Mu's actions.
"I am truly inseparable from Tang Nian, let alone myself..."
The Empress Dowager spoke: "How are you?"
"I think of Tang Nian day and night. If I am separated from her, I will either be unable to sleep at night or have no energy to deal with state affairs. This would be detrimental to both Your Majesty and the Empress."
After he finished speaking, everyone was shocked.
He was concerned about her day and night... and everyone could hear the meaning behind his words.
Those scenes flashed through Tang Nian's mind instantly, her face flushed red, and she felt the surrounding temperature rise, even the pain lessened considerably.
She couldn't help but poke Lou Mu's waist.
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager chuckled.
She had thought that Tang Nian had only reached some kind of agreement with Lou Mu, but now it seemed that the two were truly in love.
His words confirmed that Lou Mu was bewitched by the beauty, and the crowd laughed at his words, some even blushing on the spot.
The Empress Dowager had no choice but to wave her hand and recall her maid.
"Since you two are so deeply in love, I cannot separate you. So, take her back with you."
"Your Majesty, I thank you."
Upon receiving the order, Lou Mu stood up, bowed to the Chu Emperor and Empress Dowager, and carried Tang Nian away from the cave.
The evening breeze on his face calmed his earlier excitement.
Tang Nian wondered if it was just her imagination, but she thought she had just heard Lou Mu's strong heartbeat.
Tang Nian raised her hand to look at the person in front of her, but her alluring face revealed no emotion.
The two fell silent for a moment, the only sound being the rustling of the leaves.
After a long silence, Lou Mu spoke: "Do you know your mistake regarding today's events?"
They completely destroyed any remaining romantic atmosphere.
It's the same old set again!
Tang Nian thought to herself, but could only apologize: "I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have acted on my own without telling you."
When Tang Nian saw the black aura in the Imperial Garden, she guessed Wang Tianshi's plan.
Adding to the matter of the corpse powder, she became even more convinced that it was a way to lure her to the past.
Lou Mu's expression grew even colder.
Tang Nian always thought he wanted to control her, but he didn't know how worried he was about her!
The more Lou Mu thought about it, the angrier he became.
"If you knew that, why did you still do it!"
Why put yourself in danger?
Tang Nian had considered telling Lou Mu, but the situation was too urgent at the time. If she was not careful, Master Wang would notice something was wrong, and who knows what kind of follow-up measures he might take.
Although she was injured, she was fine overall, and so far she has gained something.
Seeing that the person in his arms did not speak, Lou Mu calmed down and his tone became slightly more peaceful: "Your health is too poor. You need to rest and recuperate these days. You should not go out."
Tang Nian listened, but couldn't bring herself to say a word of refusal.
She made a promise but didn't keep it, so it's only right that she suffers some hardship.
Furthermore, she forcibly broke through the seal. Although the seal has slowly recovered, the power left behind by the god still caused her considerable injury.
Lou Mu had been gone for a long time. Tang Nian felt that she had regained a lot of strength and wanted to break free from his embrace. However, as soon as she moved a few times, the man tightened his grip and blocked her movements.
Tang Nian had no choice but to obediently let herself be held.
She glanced up at Lou Mu's expression, wanting to remind him that there was a carriage at the palace gate, but seeing Lou Mu's cold face, she had no choice but to shut up.
The night air was cold, and Tang Nian was injured. The more she walked, the heavier her body felt. Before long, a wave of pain swept through her entire body.
Tang Nian instinctively gripped Lou Mu's clothes tightly, beads of cold sweat appearing on her forehead.
"Lou Mu is in pain..." she said softly.
Lou Mu immediately noticed that something was wrong with her.
Tang Nian still had ghostly energy on her body, and her illness couldn't be delayed. After getting into the carriage, Lou Mu made a hand seal and quickly returned to the mansion.
As soon as he entered the room, he ordered the maid to prepare hot water for Tang Nian's room while placing her on the bed.
A person who is usually full of vigor and spirit is now injured, which makes them even more pitiful.
Lou Mu felt guilty and quickly checked on Tang Nian's condition.
He had dozens of large and small wounds all over his body from being dragged and squeezed, and there was also a spot on his shoulder where ghostly energy had invaded.
It's a miracle that Tang Nian has survived this long.
"Sir, the water is here."
The maid rushed in carrying water, and upon seeing Tang Nian covered in wounds on the bed, she was startled and almost spilled the water on the floor.
Even though she had seen many scenes at the Grand Secretary's residence, this was the first time she had encountered someone with such serious injuries.
Lou Mu had someone bring some more cotton cloth. He had already used his spiritual power to stop Tang Nian's bleeding, but the fine wounds on her body still needed to be bandaged and she needed to rest.
The servant received the order and hurriedly left.
Lou Mu then took out a lot of medicine for Tang Nian to take and carefully treated each of her wounds.
After everything was done, the person in bed slowly woke up.
Tang Nian felt something stuck in her throat and couldn't say a word for a long time. She could only say hoarsely, "Lou... Mu."
Lou Mu helped her up and slapped Tang Nian on the back.
"puff--"
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Tang Nian felt refreshed all over, and the stuffiness in her chest was completely gone.
She felt much better and then began to check her condition.
All the wounds on his body have been treated and bandaged, especially those on his stomach and legs.
etc!
Tang Nian suddenly realized: "Who changed my clothes?"
Although there is no distinction between men and women in front of a doctor, and neither of them are human, Lou Mu's words in the palace before made her feel a little awkward about letting Lou Mu see her body.
"The servants changed it for you."
Lou Mu answered softly, and Tang Nian was finally relieved.
"How are you feeling now?" Lou Mu asked with concern.
Tang Nian nodded: "Except for the places that are still a little sore from the ghost energy, everything else is fine."
"I haven't removed the ghostly aura from you yet. This ghostly aura is different from the previous ones. Ordinary methods can only remove part of it. If it's not completely removed and remains in your body, it will only make you weaker and weaker."
As he spoke, Lou Mu helped Tang Nian sit up.
He walked up behind Tang Nian, sat cross-legged on the couch, and channeled spiritual energy into Tang Nian.
Tang Nian felt a warm current coursing through her body, which relieved much of the pain.
After a long while, Lou Mu finally stopped.
Beads of sweat the size of soybeans were on his forehead, and his face remained as cold as ever, as if he were still angry.
"What? Can't it be removed?"
Lou Mu nodded. In the past, he could have cleared away these ghostly energies with his spiritual power, but today they seemed particularly troublesome.
An idea flashed through his mind, and Lou Mu turned and left. When he returned, he had many medicine bottles and talismans in his hands.
He held the talisman in one hand and activated the incantation. The red characters on the talisman flashed with light. The next moment, Lou Mu stuck the talisman on the medicine bottle and repeated this several times. Several bottles of medicine were then placed in front of Tang Nian.
"I'll apply the medicine for you."
These medicines are extremely precious from Kunlun Mountain, and they should be helpful for Tang Nian's injuries.
Tang Nian recognized that these bottles were no ordinary objects, and obediently showed the wound on her shoulder.
The moment the cold medicine touched the wound, she couldn't help but gasp.
