When the arrowhead suddenly turned toward Tian Meng, the crowd of onlookers had not yet reacted, and the sharp arrow was already like a starburst, wrapped in ear-piercing wind sounds, breaking through the air. Tian Meng immediately grabbed his broken palm and let out a scream so painful that he knelt down to the ground.
“Gu misses the mark.”
Sui Heng said lightly.
Everyone could tell that Sui Heng did it intentionally, but no one dared to speak up. Even the Left Prime Minister, Jimo Qingyu, who had always been intolerant of Sui Heng’s “atrocities”, rarely remained silent.
Emperor Sui frowned and had to speak out to reprimand.
Sui Heng dropped his bow and apologized with a good attitude, expressing his willingness to bear all medical expenses and sending the best imperial physician in his mansion to treat Tian Meng’s injuries.
What else can Tian Que say besides accepting?
He doesn’t like Tian Meng at all. Whether Tian Meng breaks one or two hands has little to do with him. He called Tian Meng over to test Sui Heng’s strength, but now that the test is over, Tian Meng has no value for use anymore. Tian Que even felt that using Tian Meng’s hand to exchange for Sui Heng’s to calm down seemed good.
The only thing that made Tian Que uneasy was Sui Heng’s strength, which was even more formidable and terrifying than he had imagined. It should be noted that Tian Meng was the top general of the Qi Kingdom. Today, he was defeated by Sui Heng one after another, and his defeat was also very unsightly. Moreover, Sui Heng was also the Crown Prince. He has heard that the Generals in the Qinglang Battalion were all fierce and powerful, not inferior to their Commander.
Jiang Yun stood silently behind the crowd, dressed in beautiful green robe and with his black eyes still calm like a lake. He looked at Tian Meng lying on the ground in a disheveled state, holding his hand and screaming in agony.
Qi Ziqi is a noble young master who has been held in the palm of his elders, carefully pampered and raised since childhood. He has never seen such a bloody scene before, and his face has turned a bit pale.
The old man standing behind hurriedly said, “If the Young Master is afraid, just close your eyes and don’t look.”
But Qi Ziqi persisted on watching because he felt that Tian Meng deserved his punishment. Since early in the Qi capital, he had already looked down on this person. If it weren’t for him being the king and his father’s highly valued general, he would have clapped and praised already.
The imperial physician quickly arrived and gave Tian Meng a simple bandage on his wound.
Tian Meng gritted his teeth and stared in one direction with bloodshot eyes. Then he took a deep breath and ordered the palace attendants to retrieve his broken hand.
The palace attendants trembled and turned pale.
Sui Heng casually walked over and looked down at him from a high position and said, “One useless palm, what are you getting it for? Burning incense for it?”
Tian Meng was just going to storm off immediately.
But Tian Que berated him in time. Tonight’s matter finally came to a satisfactory outcome for both sides. As the main envoy, Tian Que really didn’t want to cause any more trouble.
Although Tian Meng was arrogant and conceited, he deeply resented Tian Que for sacrificing him to please Sui Heng, but the other party was his superior. In the future, he would have to make a living in Qi, and it would do him no good to openly oppose Tian Que.
Tian Meng was quickly helped down by the attendants of the Qi Kingdom.
Tian Que said two sentences about the scene and also asked Emperor Sui to leave and take the envoy of Qi back to the inn to rest.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and soon, only Sui Heng and Jiang Yun remained in front of the palace.
Jiang Yun folded his arms and looked at Sui Heng quietly through the night from a distance. For a long time, he slightly raised the corner of his mouth and smiled at him.
Sui Heng was in a daze for a moment, and his brain was not functioning enough.
He walked over and said sternly, “Don’t smile at Gu so easily.”
Jiang Yun: “Why?”
Sui Heng said solemnly, “Otherwise, you will take Gu’s soul away.”
Jiang Yun: “……”
Jiang Yun couldn’t help but smile again.
Sui Heng noticed that his little lover’s eyes were particularly bright and beautiful tonight. He couldn’t help but say, “Don’t move.”
“What’s wrong?”
“There’s something on your eyelashes, close your eyes, Gu will help you remove it.”
Jiang Yun believes it.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he took advantage of it.
He shamelessly said, “There’s also one on the right side.”
Jiang Yun knew he was talking nonsense but still obediently closed them and satisfied his no-toe.
Jimo Qingyu stood in the dim place with Zhao Yan, looking at this scene from afar. He couldn’t help but groan in frustration, then he turned around and left.
Zhao Yan wants to watch for a while longer. What a beautiful scene.
Returning to the private courtyard, Sui Heng insisted on applying ointment and rubbing Jiang Yun’s injuries after bathing.
After being soaked in hot water and fumigated, the bruises on Jiang Yun’s wrist became more and more obvious, and many places were covered with small pieces of blue and purple. Sui Heng suddenly regretted not shooting off Tian Meng’s other hand.
Jiang Yun sat by the bedside, holding a book in one hand and being gently rubbed by Sui Heng’s palm on the other. He massaged very well. Jiang Yun was unconsciously feeling sleepy, so he comfortably narrowed his eyes and threw the book aside.
His little lover seems to be particularly prone to drowsiness recently.
Sui Heng moved a little more gently and waited until all the bruises were all pressed and rubbed away before he could let go of his hand and hold the person inside and lie down.
The beauty’s skin is like porcelain, with long and delicate eyelashes that look even more stunning in dim light.
When he routinely demands something, Jiang Yun opens his eyes.
The two were maintaining a warm and ambiguous posture, and Jiang Yun instantly guessed what he was going to do.
Sui Heng didn’t hesitate and asked, “Woke you up?”
Actually not.
Jiang Yun said, “It’s a bit hot.”
“Hot?”
“En.”
It was a very soft, lethargic nasal sound.
Sui Heng frowned. Now the weather is not cold but also by no means warm, especially at night, out of necessity, they have to wear a thicker cloak when going out as well. How can it be hot for no reason?
Sui Heng reached out and probed Jiang Yun’s forehead, and the temperature was normal.
“Besides feeling hot, are you uncomfortable anywhere else?”
Jiang Yun shook his head and said, “No more.”
This is even more strange.
Sui Heng said, “How about Gu carrying you to take a shower?”
Jiang Yun shook his head and thought for a moment before saying, “I think I drink too much alcohol.”
Sui Heng dared not be careless and immediately asked Ji An to prepare a hangover soup.
When he returned, he saw his little lover sunk on the pillow, the corners of his lips slightly raised in a nice arc as he looked up at him.
It’s already the second time today.
Sui Heng’s soul swirled again, thinking that Jiang Yun might really have been drinking too much wine, so he propped up his arm and asked with raised eyebrows, “You keep seducing Gu today. What’s going on?”
Jiang Yun took the opportunity to wrap his arms around his neck.
The skin of his arms also carried a scorching temperature, but it was smooth and soft.
“I’m happy.”
Jiang Yun’s eyes also rose, like a little fox, whispering to him and biting his ears.
Sui Heng was taken aback and said, “Just because Gu shot and injured that bastard’s hand?”
“En.”
Jiang Yun nodded briskly at the end.
Sui Heng felt that he was about to completely sink. He held on to his last bit of rationality and regretted, “If Gu had known that it was so easy, Gu would have shot his other hand off as well.”
When Jiang Yun smiled, there was a very small, tiny pear swirl on the side of his cheeks that could not be seen unless one looked closely.
Sui Heng had never seen a person who could look so beautiful with just a simple smile, as if the ice and snow had melted and everything had returned to spring.
He couldn’t help but lower his head and kiss his little lover heavily on the center of his forehead, saying, “If you try to seduce Gu again, don’t blame Gu for not being able to hold back.”
Jiang Yun said, “Then don’t hold back.”
Sui Heng: “What?”
Jiang Yun pulled him down and said, “Actually, there’s no need for hangover soup to relieve the heat.”
How could Sui Heng bear this?
He leaned over and bit the tempting snow-white earlobe, saying, “It seems that Ah Yan has really studied hard and learned a lot during this period of time.”
It was rare that Jiang Yun didn’t rebuke and also felt embarrassed.
He exuded the aroma of fruit wine between his lips and teeth, mixed with a faint lotus fragrance that was sweeter and more enticing than any good wine in the world. He said, “Yes, I learn things quickly.”
When Ji An came over holding the hangover soup, he saw that the room, which had just been lit up, was already pitch black.
The palace attendant in the back whispered, “Steward Ji An, are we still delivering it?”
“Delivery what?”
Ji An glared at him, and there’s a smile in his eyes, saying, “Let’s all go back to sleep. I’ll guard here.”
The next day, Sui Heng was going to accompany the envoys of Qi to a royal hunting ground outside the city with the officials of the Sui Empire, so there was no need to go to the morning court.
Sui Heng seldom had time to watch Jiang Yun eat breakfast in person. Jiang Yun could not be lazy or play tricks; otherwise, he would be punished in public. He had to pinch his nose and eat a whole bowl of tonic diet.
Not long after they finished eating, Ji An came to report that Chen Qi asked to see him.
It’s still early at the moment, Chen Qi must have something important to attend to when he comes over.
Sui Heng put his little lover down and still asked for a kiss before getting up and walking towards the Weirui Hall.
Jiang Yun was lost in thought, and with a glance, he saw Fan Qi coming over at some unknown time, wandering in the yard.
It happened that there was still congee left in the breakfast, so Jiang Yun asked Ji An to fill a bowl and invited him to come in to eat. Fan Qi didn’t hesitate and said while eating, “You asked me to keep an eye on things, I got it for you now.”
Fan Qi explained yesterday’s musician’s movement trajectory once.
Finally, he said, “He almost went through all the pharmacies in the city and finally entered a pharmacy called Chunhe, mostly looking for some medicine. I heard from people nearby that he would come every few days. I originally wanted to go in and inquire about what kind of medicine he bought, but I was afraid I’d alert the enemy, so I dare not act rashly.”
Jiang Yun nodded and said he understood.
Then his eyes curved and he said, “Deputy General Fan has made great progress, you have more brains than before.”
Fan Qi always felt that there was a hint of ridicule and satire in the other party’s words. The little vixen always spoke in a roundabout way, and he likes to curse people in a roundabout way. Fan Qi felt uneasy and said, “We are… it’s even between us.”
