Yun Jiangli gently placed the white sparrow, who was curled up and sleeping, on Yan Muning’s pillow.
Let these two poor injured ones keep each other company.
When their injuries have healed, they will probably make a lot of noise and chatter when they get together.
Thinking of this, he felt a little worried, but he had to admit that he didn’t seem to be that repulsive in his heart.
After adding more incense to the incense burner, he put on his outer robe and walked slowly to the outer room. He pulled out the piece of paper with dried ink stains from under the paper weight on the desk, stared at the pattern on it, and looked at it carefully for a few seconds before folding the paper carefully and putting it in a box on the bookshelf.
Someone raided his courtyard again last night. The pattern on the paper was the tattoo on the attacker’s body, like some kind of mark.
But no matter the time in the woods outside the city or the time when he just rescued the youth, the assassins he had seen before did not have similar tattoos. He was a little unsure whether the target of the people last night was the youth or himself, so he could only note down the pattern and slowly verify it later.
In fact, Yun Jiangli brought Yan Muning back to his bedroom, on one hand, it was to take care of the injured and feverish youth, and on the other hand, because of the assassins who appeared from time to time.
It is always safer to keep the person under his own supervision.
Yun Jiangli had not yet decided whether to tell Yan Muning about these things, but the young man misunderstood him and let his thoughts run wild, as if he thought that Yun Jiangli had those kinds of thoughts about him.
He shook his head, his eyes full of helplessness.
.
Ah, it’s annoying. Who is pulling me!
Yan Muning frowned in his sweet dream, raised his paw, and waved it, trying to drive away the person who disturbed his sweet dream.
The claws that were swung out were pinched mercilessly. Yan Muning narrowed his eyes impatiently and blurted out, “Who is disturbing this k—”
As soon as the word “king” came out, the little bit of rationality that had run away from home finally returned in time.
“W—woof, woof1So king is Wang in Chinese xD he switched to woof… I dreamed that a big dog was chasing me.”
Fortunately, rationality has returned, but IQ has not.
The little prince stared with a pair of round eyes that were still a little sleepy and covered with a layer of mist.
Yun Jiangli, who was changing the bandage for the person, didn’t seem to think much about it. Hearing the youth’s nasal complaints when he just woke up, he smiled and said, “You are afraid of dogs?”
Having cleverly resolved the crisis of his identity being exposed, Yan Mu Ning was feeling somewhat proud. He narrowed his eyes and replied, “It can’t be said that I’m afraid either…”
Maybe it was because he had just woken up, his reaction was quite slow. It was not until his chest felt colder that his eyes slowly moved downwards—
Oh wow!
It turns out that the person who was touching him in the dream was the big beauty!
The collar of his undergarment had been completely opened at some point, revealing his fair skin.
It’s just that now this fair skin is covered with scars, which looks particularly shocking.
The little prince is numb.
He must have been sleeping in the wrong position these days, which is why every time he wakes up, it’s so outrageous.
While cleaning the wound, Yun Jiangli’s slightly cool fingertips occasionally stroked his skin, causing it to feel a little itchy.
He felt that all his tiny hairs had stood up, and he wanted to hide.
Yan Muning picked up the lapels of his clothes scattered on the bed, trying to cover it, but just as he raised his hand, he was interrupted by Yun Jiangli.
“Don’t move.”
Yun Jiangli frowned.
“What are you so fierce for?” Yan Muning muttered in a low voice in dissatisfaction.
Still not satisfied, he lowered his voice and continued to mutter, “Why did you change the medicine when I was asleep? Aren’t you just greedy…”
Yun Jiangli raised his head and gave him a cold look, constantly applying ointment to his hands.
“You think too much.” His usual calm tone was filled with a hint of helplessness. “I didn’t change the ointment while you were asleep. It’s because you slept too much and I couldn’t wake you up.”
Before Yan Muning could refute, he heard the big beauty continue, “I changed your undergarment only because you were hot and sweaty too.”
“Besides, you… don’t really have much beauty to attract me either.”
Hearing the last sentence, Yan Muning’s eyes widened, filled with disbelief.
A certain arrogant prince almost fainted from anger.
If his injuries had not limited his mobility, he would have jumped out of bed, grabbed the big beauty by the collar, shook him, and asked if he was blind.
Do those old men in the Imperial Medical have any good medicine to cure blindness? He will definitely give him a dozen when he return to the capital!
.
Yun Jiangli could never guess what the youth was thinking, and he was also too lazy to delve into it.
Anyway, this little kitten has been getting angry all the time since he was picked up. He really has a bad temper.
Although this time the rage seemed to last a little longer?
It lasted so long that he was still angry when they had dinner.
The sky is getting dark and the wind is rising.
Yun Jiangli stood up and closed the window tightly, then lazily leaned back onto the narrow couch, pulled the fur coat beside him, and put it on his lap to continue reading.
Yan Muning was half leaning against the head of the bed, wearing a loose, smoky-colored robe, holding the white bird in his hands and teasing it.
The little sparrow is round and snow-white all over, with only the tip of its tail and its tiny beak tinged with a little yellow. It is really beautiful.
He doesn’t know how it got injured, but one of its wings was so bad that it could hardly lift up, and the claw on the same side was also injured.
The little prince liked it very much and was thinking about waiting for him to recover from his injury, he will ask the big beauty for the little bird to take back home to raise.
.
The room was warm and peaceful, with flickering candlelight.
Outside the room, the wind began to blow, and an autumn rain began to fall slowly as the night deepened.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard in the courtyard.
They both raised their heads at the same time and saw vigilance in each other’s eyes when they looked at each other.
Yan Muning had already placed the white sparrow on the pillow and reached for the dagger.
“Excuse me, is anyone there?”
Along with the knock on the door, a deep male voice sounded.
Yun Jiangli sat up from the narrow couch, raised his finger, gestured to Yan Muning to keep quiet, then slipped on his shoes, pulled an outer robe over himself, turned around, and walked out.
Although he was used to the big beauty’s indifferent expression, but this was the first time that Yan Muning had seen him with this rather cautious and stern expression.
He nodded without saying anything but sat upright and tense, pricked up his ears, and listened carefully, with his right hand hidden in the quilt, tightly holding the dagger.
“Squeak—”
He heard the gentle but distant voice of the big beauty as the door opened: “Who are you looking for?”
“Sorry for bothering.” It was still the deep male voice. “We two brothers came to Jinzhou to visit relatives. However, we took the wrong road and missed the time to enter the city when we arrived here. It was also rainy and windy, so we came to ask if we could stay for one night. We will leave after the curfew tomorrow morning.”
Staying here? Two brothers?
Yan Muning frowned, feeling that something was not right.
Also, he seems to have heard this sound somewhere before?
It seemed that Yun Jiangli was silent. Yan Muning did not hear his voice, but another clearer male voice: “It is indeed a bit rude. The autumn rain is really cold. We have been searching this suburb for a long time, but you are the only resident. That is why I came here with my brother to disturb you.”
Heh—
These two, one sang another echo2It refers to two people cooperating with each other and responding to each other., and they have already spoken their words. Yan Muning pursed his lips and complained in his heart.
However, during the many days he spent recuperating from his injuries, Yan Muning had never left his room, nor had he carefully explored the area.
Now, from what the two brothers said, the big beauty’s residence is not in Jinzhou City? It is actually in the suburbs? And he is the only family around?
Yan Muning’s mind was in a mess, with doubts piling up.
Let’s not talk about whether it is safe for a big beauty with such a delicate body to live alone in the suburbs or not. As a physician, how can he get business if he is not in the city? Who will come to see him for treatment? How does he make a living?
What’s more, the food, clothing, and daily necessities of the big beauty are not what ordinary people use…
The vigilance that had been relaxed with great difficulty before seemed to come back with great force again.
.
Yan Muning was so absorbed in his own doubts that he didn’t notice how Yun Jiangli responded. When he came back to his senses, he already heard the footsteps of the three people.
“This is the only room…”
Yun Jiangli just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by the younger one, “Aren’t you alone?”
Yan Muning’s breathing stagnated.
“I live with my wife.” Yun Jiangli responded briefly, with obvious displeasure in his voice.
“Sorry, sorry, my little brother is still young. I’m sorry for offending you.” Another person apologized repeatedly.
A certain little prince who was originally listening and thinking seriously in the room was instantly shocked to the point of losing his mind by the word “wife” just uttered by the big beauty.
Damn, wife my ass!
I am His Royal Highness Prince An after all, I should at least be the husband!
Yun Jiangli pushed the door open and entered the room. When he walked around the screen, he saw the youth sitting upright on the bed in a daze, his face turning red and white.
He took off the outer robe he was wearing, casually placed it on the armchair, and looked at Yan Muning with an inquiring look.
This look successfully attracted the little prince’s attention.
“You, you, you!” Yan Muning spoke fiercely with a flushed face. As Yun Jiangli got closer and closer, his voice became lower and lower.
The big beauty’s cold demeanor made the young prince hesitate in the second half of his sentence: “Who is your wife…”
Yun Jiangli was stunned for a moment, then slowly approached, bent down to look into the boy’s wet round eyes, and said in a low voice, “Shh.”
The little prince was confused.
What does he mean? Is he trying to seduce me?
Before the little prince could retort, Yun Jiangli raised his hand and pointed to the next door, indicating with his mouth: There is something wrong with these two people.
Yan Muning regained his senses instantly, and the chaotic emotions in his eyes disappeared, leaving only clarity.
Without waiting for him to ask further, Yun Jiangli quickly got up and locked the doors and windows, then turned around to extinguish several candles.
He returned to the bed, raised his hands to let down the bed curtains, and climbed onto the bed swiftly.
No, if there’s a problem, then be it, but why are you getting into my bed?
In the darkness, Yan Muning stared at Yun Jiangli with sparkling eyes.
After Yun Jiangli took off his outer robe, he was only wearing a plain undergarment.
Now that they were closer, Yan Muning could actually feel the heat radiating from his body, mixed with the aroma of herbs, lingering around him.
Immediately afterwards, a pair of strong hands supported his waist and back, gently laying him flat on the bed, carefully avoiding his injuries.
Yan Muning didn’t know what this meant. Just as he was about to speak, Yun Jiangli raised his hand and gently covered his lips.
The big beauty leaned forward, their chests so close that they could touch each other. His soft, long hair slid down his shoulders and brushed against his neck, itching…
His face became even hotter, and he even began to wonder if he had a fever again.
When Yan Muning was dizzy and turning around, a word in his ear brought him back to his senses.
“Listen.” Yun Jiangli whispered in his ear.
Holding his breath, the only sound in the silent room was the gentle sound of wind and rain, and then a very faint sound came.
“Crack—”
That’s—the latch was lifted.
Yan Muning’s heart was beating like thunder, his eyes were fixed on the person in front of him, his hand tightly grasped the dagger, and his fingertips began to tremble slightly.

The Little Prince’s brain is sometimes smart and sometimes not. I can’t do anything about it either. (Spreading hands)
