Chapter 171 Ah Xu, can you help me apply the medicine?
When Pei Jingxu arrived outside Rong Xuanzhou's tent, he saw several imperial doctors coming in and out, with beads of sweat on their foreheads.
Seeing Pei Jingxu, the imperial physician hurriedly said, "Second Madam, come quickly. General Xuanzhou has been asking to see you."
"He said he wouldn't apply the medicine unless he could see you."
After a few words of explanation, Pei Jingxu was pushed into the tent by several imperial doctors.
A strong smell of blood came, Pei Jingxu frowned slightly, and saw Rong Xuanzhou on the bed.
"General Xuanzhou, the Second Lady is here!"
As he spoke, the imperial physician pulled Pei Jingxu to the bedside. Rong Xuanzhou frowned, but after hearing what the imperial physician said, he finally opened his eyes and looked towards Pei Jingxu.
His right arm was injured.
The injury was serious, and the maids were pouring out basins of blood.
When he saw Pei Jingxu, Rong Xuanzhou's pale face became more lively.
He twitched the corner of his mouth and reached out to Pei Jingxu: "Ah Xu, come here."
Pei Jingxu tightened his fingertips, his eyes cold, and stood there without moving.
——If Rong Jianxue hadn’t supported her before, she might have put on an act in front of Rong Xuanzhou.
Now, she has slept with Rong Jianxue. At least in the short term, even if there is no child, Rong Jianxue is a gentleman and will not abandon her.
Therefore, Pei Jingxu stood where he was, looking down at him with an indifferent expression.
For some reason, looking at Rong Xuanzhou lying in front of her, Pei Jingxu suddenly remembered her previous life. She was pushed into the pool and struggled in panic, stretching out her hands to reach something.
In a panic, she saw the figure by the pool.
Rong Xuanzhou stood on the shore with an indifferent expression, stepping on her reflection.
He didn't see her, he just came here to look for Bai Shutong.
She struggled to reach out for help, but she sank deeper and deeper.
Bai Shutong stood in front of him, blocking her struggle for help.
She saw Rong Xuanzhou smiling gently, and seemed to rebuke her, telling her not to stay by the water. Then he helped her out of the lotus pond.
From beginning to end, he never looked in her direction.
Rong Xuanzhou didn't know that she was pushed into the lotus pond, nor did he know that she was under the pond at that time.
But this did not prevent Pei Jingxu from hating him.
Her eyes were cold and indifferent as she looked at his injuries as if she was looking at a stranger.
When Rong Xuanzhou met Pei Jingxu's calm eyes, his pupils shrank and the smile on his lips slowly froze.
But he was only stiff for a moment, then he showed a gentler smile and retracted his hand that was hanging in the air: "A Xu, you came to see me?"
"Yeah," Pei Jingxu responded without any emotion, nodding slightly, "The imperial physician said you wanted to see me."
Rong Xuanzhou's face turned pale and he nodded: "Yes, you were the one who took care of me when I was injured before."
She would always cry then.
Looking at the deep and shallow wounds on his body, even if they were just scratches, she would hold his hand and feel sad for a long time.
"I don't quite remember." Pei Jingxu said without any emotion.
Upon seeing this, the imperial physician hurriedly began to treat and bandage Rong Xuanzhou, applying ointment on the man's arm. Rong Xuanzhou groaned and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"A Xu, can you help me apply the medicine?"
Rong Xuanzhou looked at Pei Jingxu and tried his best to force a smile on his face.
Pei Jingxu took a step back upon hearing this, her tone soft and cold, "My husband, please ask the imperial physician to help apply the medicine. I'm clumsy and I'm afraid I might miss the treatment."
A hint of gloom flashed across Rong Xuanzhou's eyes.
He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked up at Pei Jingxu: "But Ah Xu is willing to apply medicine to big brother, isn't he?"
Pei Jingxu frowned and paused his hand hidden in his sleeve.
silence.
Because he needed to apply medicine, Rong Xuanzhou took off his shirt, revealing the solid and smooth muscle lines of his upper body. His chest was heaving violently, and it was unclear whether it was because of the wound or something else.
Pei Jingxu's eyes swept over the man.
Rong Xuanzhou's figure is different from Rong Jianxue's.
Because of years of martial arts training, even if he took off his armor and put on a wide robe with big sleeves, it could not conceal his tall and strong figure and the temperament of a military commander.
Rong Jianxue was different. His muscles were more symmetrical, without a trace of excess fat. The round-necked robe he wore concealed the lines of his body, making him look restrained and noble.
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Pei Jingxu realized that he was not just a pervert.
At this time, I was still thinking about Rong Jianxue's figure.
"What do you want to say?"
Pei Jingxu spoke like this.
Rong Xuanzhou still looked up at her, his eyes like a hawk stalking its prey on the grassland: "A Xu, are you in love with—"
"Second Young Master, the eldest young master heard that you refused to be treated, so he asked me to tell you something," Jiang Hui's voice came from outside the tent, calm and cold. "The eldest young master said that the second young master has come of age, so please stop acting like a child."
"The eldest son also told the imperial doctors that if the second son was determined not to be treated, they should just leave on their own and not force him."
Upon hearing this, Rong Xuanzhou narrowed his eyes and his face became so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.
"Also, the eldest master instructed that the second lady is afraid of seeing blood. Since the second master was injured tonight, he will choose a new place to stay and let the second lady rest. He will not disturb the second master."
Although this was said as a discussion, the tone was unquestionable.
Rong Xuanzhou clenched his knuckles and looked at Pei Jingxu in front of him. His voice rose, but he was speaking to Jiang Hui outside, "Brother, please be concerned. Ah Xu said he wants to stay in the tent tonight and serve me. So there's no need for you to choose another place to stay."
Pei Jingxu frowned slightly upon hearing this. Just as he was about to say something, Rong Xuanzhou whispered, "Ah Xu, if you don't stay with me tonight, aren't you afraid that others will spread rumors and something will get out?"
Pei Jingxu stared at Rong Xuanzhou without saying a word.
——She was not worried about what those people would say.
In other words, with Rong Jianxue around, she didn't think they would dare to spread anything.
But Pei Jingxu thought of the meaning of Jiang Hui’s words just now.
They said they would find her a new place to live, and I guess they wanted her to live with Rong Jianxue again.
——She really couldn't bear it.
Even though he didn't do anything to her last night, just pressing against her, she was still a little frightened.
not to mention……
That night, Rong Jianxue said in person that she couldn't bear all of him at the moment and would slowly "teach" him in the future.
——She doesn't really want to be taught now.
Rather than staying in the tent with Rong Jianxue and being frightened all night, it would be better to stay with Rong Xuanzhou.
Anyway, he was injured now and couldn't do anything to her.
And... Pei Jingxu wanted to see what Bai Shutong would think if she saw her living with Rong Xuanzhou?
Thinking of this, Pei Jingxu didn't say anything else and let Rong Xuanzhou reject Jiang Hui outside the door.
Outside the tent, Jiang Hui's eyes widened when he heard Rong Xuanzhou say this, and his voice became tense. "If the Second Young Master doesn't have enough servants, I'll go get a few more. The Second Lady..."
"No need, Guard Jiang," Rong Xuanzhou's voice came from the tent, his tone unremarkable. "Ah Xu said he wants to sleep with me tonight. Just tell me what he said."
