Chapter 87
The weather was getting colder, and the window in the inn was only opened a crack, because of the doctor's order, the aromatherapy was lit for peace of mind.

When Gu Mingzhu came in, the doctor was taking the pulse. As soon as Xu Jue woke up, Ming Yi notified the doctor to come and watch the pulse.

After finishing his pulse, the doctor said: "My body is better than yesterday."

Ming Yi sent him out and said, "Doctor Lao is here, please."

Gu Mingzhu stood by the bed and watched him, Xu Jue raised his hand and said, "Why don't you come over?"

Gu Mingzhu sat by the bed, Xu Jue grabbed her fingers, touched her for a while, and said, "Why are your hands so cold?"

He held his hand in the palm of his hand, and the temperature of just waking up was against her. Gu Mingzhu's anger suddenly stopped, and he let him hold it silently.

Xu Jue leaned against the edge of the bed, covering her cold, and said, "How is Duanzhou doing now?"

Gu Mingzhu said: "Chaos, but everything is under control."

Xu Jue nodded: "Duanzhou caught them off guard. The news will soon spread, and the next battle will be a vicious battle. We must act as soon as possible before the news spreads."

She doesn't speak.

Knowing that she was sullen, Xu Jue stretched out his hand and gently tugged at the servant, Gu Mingzhu couldn't help but gasped.

Xu Jue immediately sensed something was wrong, sat up straight, and asked, "What's going on?"

Gu Mingzhu shook her head and said: "It's nothing, it's just that I exerted too much force yesterday and my arm hurts, it will be fine after a while."

Xu Jue squeezed her wrist up a little, pressed it, and watched her reaction: "Does it hurt?"

"It's not painful." Gu Mingzhu said, thought for a while, and added: "It's really fine."

Xu Jue untied her wristband, pulled up a large piece of her sleeve, her whole arm was purple and blue, and said in a low voice, "Is this all right?"

Gu Mingzhu wrote lightly: "It's nothing compared to you falling from the city wall yesterday."

Xu Jue was silent for a while, then said, "I have a measure."

Gu Mingzhu put down her sleeves: "I know, of course you have a sense of propriety, Yue Yan said it, it was your idea, but..."

Gu Mingzhu stared at him: "I don't want to."

"If you get hurt, I will hurt. Is this a good reason? Is it enough?"

Xu Jue said: "That's enough, I will listen to you from now on, whatever you say is what you say."

Gu Mingzhu snorted softly and said, "When are you going back?"

Xu Jue said, "Where are you going back? Kyushu?"

Gu Mingzhu pondered for a while, and said: "Nowadays there is chaos in the southeast, the news about you here will probably reach the capital soon, what about Kyushu?"

Xu Jue leaned back: "You think I'm in the way?"

Gu Mingzhu glanced at him, and unhurriedly put on the wristband: "What are you thinking about now?"

Xu Jue smiled: "Isn't it obvious?"

Gu Mingzhu responded: "En?"

"I'm thinking of you, Prince Ming... Your Highness."

His Royal Highness called this statement very softly, as if deliberately teasing.

Gu Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, raised her hand to touch his forehead, and said, "I didn't have a fever, what's wrong with my brain today."

Xu Jue smiled and said: "The tiger charm is on my mother, and the royal family wants soldiers, so I will give it."

Gu Mingzhu said: "They definitely want it."

Xu Jue said: "I can't involve others in my affairs alone. Regarding the matter of military power, my mother has sent a letter to Jiangling to return the military power in the northwest. At this point, Kyushu is no longer the boundary of the Xu family."

Gu Mingzhu's eyes were full of emotions.

"His Royal Highness King Ming..." Xu Jue said, "Aren't you going to take me in?"

Gu Mingzhu closed her eyes, a little unbelievable, Xu Jue's way of having no way out undoubtedly cut off her own way out.

He followed her to be this rebellious courtier and traitor.

Xu Jue approached her, and said in a low voice, "Does His Royal Highness need a bed warmer? I can."

Gu Mingzhu pushed him away, with a strange expression on her face, and said, "Where did you learn these words?"

Xu Jue laughed softly: "There is no way, there are many capable people around you, so I have to find another way, you are not allowed to be a heartless person."

There was no Kyushu on him, as if he had lost all scruples and burdens, he just smiled like that, with affection and desire in his handsome eyes.

This person found her weakness.

Gu Mingzhu curled her fingers imperceptibly, scratched her heart, and said calmly: "It's still hurting, what a wave, rest."

Xu Jue carried him to the bed with force and lightness, and said, "My eyes are bloodshot. It seems that I haven't slept all night. Go to sleep. There should be news before dark."

Xu Jue covered her with the quilt, and Gu Mingzhu fell asleep after a while, taking advantage of the warmth of the couch.

Overnight, the inside and outside of this small inn were replaced by her people.

Xu Jue didn't sleep anymore, his injuries were not serious, he propped his head up and looked sideways at her.

Her long hair covered the pillow, and she breathed lightly.

In Xu Jue's eyes, the frivolity and sloppyness just now were gone, they were black and shiny, and her right finger was wrapped around a strand of her hair.

After a while, he got out of bed after making sure he was asleep.

The rain hasn't stopped.

He had nothing to do, so he sat by the window, looked at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of him, thought for a while, and wrote a letter.

On the way, Ming came in with medicine in his hand, Xu Jue handed him the letter and said, "How is it outside?"

Ming Yi handed the decoction to the table, took the letter, and said: "Half an hour ago, a team captain surrendered with [-] soldiers from the Captain's Mansion. Everyone is concerned about their wives and children. It should be settled before dark."

Xu Jue recalled yesterday's danger, and said, "She is really too courageous..."

Ming Yi lowered his head slightly, thinking to himself: Really.

Xu Jue said again: "Pass the letter to Jiuyue and ask him to do as I wish."

"Yes."

Ming Yi was about to leave when Xu Jue said, "Wait."

He turned back and waited for orders.

Xu Jue said, "I'll go to the clinic to buy some medicine for bruises and falls."

Ming nodded and backed out.

When it was getting dark, there was a sound from the stairs of the inn, and the door was knocked.

Xu Jue said, "Go in."

The people outside pushed the door and entered.

There was warmth in the house.

Yueyan took the rain and dew, glanced at the room, and said with lowered hands: "My son."

Without raising her head, Xu Jue said, "I stayed up all night and fell asleep."

Yue Yan pondered for a while, and said: "Three of the four teams in Duanzhou Duwei's Mansion are willing to surrender, and there is one left with about [-] troops, fleeing towards Dangzhou."

Xu Jue said, "Have you counted the rest?"

"It's been counted, everyone's name is on the register, a total of 610 people?"

Xu Jue looked a little surprised, and smiled: "No wonder she relies on you so much, she has good ability, I take back what I said yesterday, Huang Xia's daughter really lives up to her reputation."

Yueyan stood quietly, feeling that he had something to say.

Xu Jue's eyes changed slightly, and his tone was low: "You saw it yesterday too, she values ​​me very much."

Yueyan said: "Miss's feelings for the son, we will naturally know."

Xu Jue said, "So, put away your thoughts."

Yue Yan's eyes shook, and he looked up at him.

Xu Jue was looking at him, his eyes were slightly cold.

Yue Yan lowered his head almost immediately: "I..."

The embarrassment of being peeped through his mind surged up.

"Don't ask me how I know, after today, I will act as if I don't know anything."

Yueyan was almost ashamed, her voice was hoarse: "...Thank you, my lord."

"Don't call him Shizi in the future."

"……Yes."
