After helping Lu Jiuyuan back to the bed, Tao Yao asked, "Do you want to lie down or sit?"

"Sit down." Lu Jiuyuan said.

Tao Yao nodded, took the pillow, and put it on his back intimately.

Looking at her busy figure, Lu Jiuyuan asked, "Why are you here?"

Tao Yao sat down beside the bed, "It's not just me, my father, my uncle, my second sister, the crown prince, and Master Gu are also here."

Lu Jiuyuan was taken aback.

At this moment, Wu Ze reported from outside the door: "Duke, the eldest princess heard that you are awake, and came to see you."

Tao Yao heard the words and looked at Lu Jiuyuan, waiting to see his reaction.

Lu Jiuyuan frowned, and said without hesitation: "I'm still unwell, and it's inconvenient to see guests. Please forgive me, the eldest princess."

"Then you have a good rest, I will come to see you later." Outside the door, Zhao Le said softly.

Lu Jiuyuan did not respond.

Zhao Le stood outside the door for a while, but didn't get a response, so she lifted her foot and left.

The corner of Tao Yao's mouth twitched, and she thought to herself, what a shame, the dignified eldest princess is chasing a married man and won't let him go.

Fortunately, Lu Jiuyuan didn't treat her like anything.

But thinking of what Jing Wen swore to say that day, she still felt uncomfortable in her heart. She pulled Lu Jiuyuan's sleeve, frowned and asked, "What kind of friendship do you have with this eldest princess?"

Lu Jiuyuan was startled, and when he met her serious eyes, he said firmly: "There is no friendship at all.

"Really? But how did I hear that you originally wanted to be the Lord?" Tao Yao blinked and looked at him with a smile.

Lu Jiuyuan scratched her nose amusedly, "Which chewing tongue do you listen to?"

Tao Yao turned around and turned her back to him, "I didn't come out of nothing, it was Princess Jingwen who said that I would soon be a concubine.

And when I just came here, I did see Zhao Le taking care of you. "

Lu Jiuyuan's face darkened, and he frowned and said, "It's nothing, don't listen to other people's nonsense, I have nothing with her."

"Really?" Tao Yao turned around, tilted her head, and stared at him with burning eyes.

Lu Jiuyuan's eyes fell on her small face, his throat rolled down, and he said "um" in a low voice, "Really." After a pause, he said, "Ma'am, I'm a little thirsty."

"Oh, I'll pour you water." Tao Yao got the answer she wanted, so she stopped struggling and got up to pour him a glass of water.

She didn't actually believe what Jingwen said, but she had doubts in her heart. Compared with outsiders, she naturally believed in Lu Jiuyuan more.

Now that she heard him denying it personally, the doubt in her heart was gone.

Lu Jiuyuan didn't like Zhao Le at all.

In addition to what he said, she can also see it.

Although Princess Zhaole has a noble status, her appearance is really average.

If it was possible for them, how could they wait until today?
Thinking of this, her already pretty face became brighter, and the smile on her face couldn't be concealed.

After Lu Jiuyuan finished drinking the water, Tao Yao asked, "Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?"

Lu Jiuyuan paused, and looked up at the smiling girl in front of him.

The two hadn't seen each other for nearly two months, and only he knew how happy he was when he opened his eyes and saw her.

The girl he misses so much is by his side, within reach.

When he was ordered to go to the border and sneaked into Khitan to rescue Princess Zhaole, he accidentally fell into an enemy's ambush and was seriously injured.

He could have recovered from his injuries at the border and then returned to Beijing, but he chose to leave with his injuries.

As a result, his injuries worsened and he passed out.

No one in Wu Ze understood why he was in such a hurry to hurry, only he knew that he just wanted to return to Beijing as soon as possible to meet this girl.

But he really didn't expect that when he opened his eyes, he saw her.

The corners of his lips twitched, and he handed the cup to her, "Very hungry, please trouble Madam."

Tao Yao smiled, "You don't have to be so polite, I'll get someone to get you something to eat right away." After she finished speaking, she was about to stand up, but her wrist was pinched with warmth.

Before she could react, her body was carried by a force, she tilted backwards, and fell into Lu Jiuyuan's arms.

Immediately afterwards, shadows enveloped her, and the man's warm lips covered hers, kissing hers softly.

Tao Yao's eyelashes trembled, and she couldn't help stretching out her arms to hug his thin neck.

The originally gentle kiss suddenly turned into a storm because of her actions.

Tao Yao's mind was blank, she felt that she was like a small boat in the rough waves at any time, she would be rushed into the waves at any time, and instinctively clung to her tightly.

"Knock knock!"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the house, and Wu Ze's voice said, "Duke, Madam, Second Miss Tao and the others are here."

Tao Yao was startled, she turned back rationally, and hurriedly pushed Lu Jiuyuan away.

When meeting the man's dark eyes, he stammered: "Second, Second Sister and the others are here."

"Yes, I heard it." Lu Jiuyuan closed his eyes slightly, covering up the gap of love in the middle, and then raised his sleeve to wipe the silver thread from the corner of her mouth for her, and said in a hoarse voice, "Go and open the door."

Tao Yao was taken aback for a moment, then realized something belatedly, her small face was red and hot.

She was about to get up, but when she saw the hem of his clothes that she had ripped open by herself, she immediately turned around and closed them up for him.

After making sure that the skin on his chest didn't reveal anything, she opened the door with satisfaction.

Lu Jiuyuan looked down at the fastened clothes, and a smile flashed across his eyes.

As soon as the door opened, Tao Yao saw the three of Tao Ling, Gu Changqing and Qi Yan.

Everyone was staring at her with straight eyes.

Tao Yao paused, feeling a little guilty after all, coughed lightly, and raised her hand to say hello, "You guys are here."

"Fourth sister, why are you running so fast? We almost lost you." Tao Lian rushed over and complained, "My legs hurt from running."

Tao Yao apologized, "I'm sorry, when I saw Wu Ze, I was impatient, so I chased him first."

"Hey, Fourth Sister, what's wrong with your mouth, it's so swollen." Tao Lian suddenly said again.

Tao Yao said calmly, "I was bitten by a big mosquito just now."

Lu Jiuyuan: "..."

"What kind of big mosquito actually bites someone's mouth?" Tao Lian frowned, puzzled.

Tao Yao: "..."

Sensing the probing gazes from other people, she really wanted to find a place to bury Tao Lian.

Why are there so many words from this girl?

"The Duke just woke up, you all come in." Tao Yao turned sideways.

Hearing what she said, everyone's attention was shifted to Lu Jiuyuan, and they no longer paid attention to the redness and swelling of her lips, but asked with concern: "What's wrong with the Duke, has something happened?"

While speaking, Gu Changqing and Qi Yan had already entered the room first.

Lu Jiuyuan leaned on the bed and said to Qi Yan: "I am unable to move around and salute, please forgive me, Prince."

Qi Yan had already taken a step closer, and said with concern: "The Duke's words are serious. By the way, where is the Duke injured? Are you feeling better now?"
