Chapter 160 Nosebleed

"You really don't want to drink?" Tao Yao frowned.

"No." Lu Jiuyuan shook his head.

Looking at the ginseng soup in the bowl, Tao Yao sighed.

Such a good soup, Lu Jiuyuan didn't even drink it.

Thinking about it, she picked up the bowl and took a sip.

Finding that the taste was quite good, she couldn't help but take another sip.

This ginseng is indeed a high-quality ginseng, and it was stewed with the old hen for an afternoon. The soup that was stewed was really delicious.

It's a pity that Lu Jiuyuan didn't drink.

Seeing that she was drinking with gusto, Lu Jiuyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he had to reach out his hand to stop her, "Stop drinking, you've already eaten a bowl of bird's nest just now, mix it up like this, be careful what happens."

Tao Yao heard the words, stretched out her hand to touch her stomach, and was also a little worried, "Then what can I do, since you don't drink, it's a pity to pour it out."

"That's better than eating a bad stomach." Lu Jiuyuan said helplessly.

Tao Yao looked at the half bowl of ginseng chicken soup left, and paused, "You drink the remaining half bowl."

Lu Jiuyuan shook his head and refused, "I won't drink."

"It's delicious, I won't lie to you." Tao Yao said, took a spoon to scoop up the ginseng soup, and fed it to his lips, "Quick, I'll feed you."

Lu Jiuyuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed, turned his face away, "Don't make trouble."

"Just drink it up." Tao Yao didn't want to waste it, and insisted on him drinking it, "If you don't drink it up, if you take it away, I won't be able to sleep at night."

This century-old ginseng costs a lot of money.

Although she didn't buy it, she would feel pain if it was so wasted.

Lu Jiuyuan sighed, "But after drinking, I too..."

"What will happen to you?" Tao Yao wondered.

Lu Jiuyuan glanced at her, but if he drank it, he would be the one who couldn't sleep at night.

But seeing her insist, he didn't refuse this time, took the bowl from her hand, and drank the soup.

Seeing this, Tao Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief, ordered someone to prepare hot water, and prepared to take a bath.

But just as she turned around, she was held back by Lu Jiuyuan, who reminded her, "You still have injuries on your body, so you shouldn't touch the water."

"But I haven't showered for three days." Tao Yao looked pained.

If it was winter, she would still be able to bear it, but now the weather is still so hot, she sweats every time she moves, but she hasn't showered for three days.

Thinking about it made her feel uncomfortable.

"Be patient for another two days." Lu Jiuyuan persuaded gently, "I will wipe it with a cloth tonight first."

Tao Yao looked frustrated and said, "Then will you wipe it for me?"

Lu Jiuyuan paused, then nodded with a smile, "Okay."

Tao Yao was stunned for a moment, and when she realized it, her face became hot, "No, no need, I'll wipe it myself."

The corners of Lu Jiuyuan's lips twitched, and he still nodded, "Okay."

Tao Yao breathed a sigh of relief and hurried into the clean room.

When she finished packing and came out, she heard Wu Ze report to Lu Jiuyuan outside, "The subordinates hung the bodies of those two people on the city wall for a day, and the one who escaped didn't show up either.

It seemed that the man didn't care about the life and death of those two people at all, and he was afraid that he would not be able to lure him out.

Moreover, the prefect's people have searched with all their strength for two days, and they haven't found any trace of that person so far.

The subordinates speculated that the man might have left Linzhou. "

"Well, pull everyone back and don't need to look for them again." Lu Jiuyuan ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes." Wu Ze respectfully responded and withdrew.

Tao Yao heard it, came out, frowned and said: "That man is very cunning, could he still be hiding in the dark?"

"Aku has always been cruel, ruthless, and ungrateful. His two companions fell into our hands and have never appeared. It is very likely that he has fled back to Khitan." Lu Jiuyuan bowed his head in thought.

"You're right, maybe he really returned to Khitan." Tao Yao nodded.

Lu Jiuyuan looked up at her, saw that her hair was wrapped in a cloth, and frowned, "Why do you still wash your hair?"

Tao Yao raised her hand and touched her head, "I haven't washed my hair for many days, if I don't wash it, it will stink."

Lu Jiuyuan was a little helpless, "Can't you bear it for another two days? You still have injuries on your face, and pus will ooze when it touches water."

"No, I avoided it very carefully, and the wounds on my face are all small, so it's fine." Tao Yao said indifferently.

"Who was worried about scars in the morning? I'm not afraid now." Lu Jiuyuan teased.

"I'm worried, but my hair is getting oily, I really can't take it anymore." Tao Yao sighed.

Not washing your hair in summer is too uncomfortable.

"Come here." Lu Jiuyuan waved to her.

"What are you doing?" Tao Yao was puzzled, but she walked up to him obediently.

Lu Jiuyuan didn't speak, just took her hand, let her sit on his lap, then pulled off the cloth wrapping her head, and wiped her hair.

Tao Yao froze for a moment, but then closed her eyes comfortably, feeling his slender fingers passing through her hair.

When going to bed at night, Tao Yao tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

The same is true for Lu Jiuyuan, especially the girl moving around beside him, which made him even more angry.

When she turned around again, he finally couldn't help stretching out his hand, imprisoning her in his arms, and said in a hoarse voice: "Obey, don't move around."

"But I can't sleep." Tao Yao felt restless all over her body.

Lu Jiuyuan scratched her nose helplessly, "I told you not to eat indiscriminately at night, you don't believe me."

Tao Yao paused, "Is it because of that bowl of ginseng soup? Then you can't sleep either?"

Lu Jiuyuan took a deep look at her, "It's because of your noise that I can't sleep."

"Okay, I'll just stay still." After Tao Yao finished speaking, she suddenly felt a heat in her nose, and something flowed out.

She stiffened.

After reacting, she hurriedly covered her nose and got up from his arms.

"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Lu Jiuyuan also sat up.

"I, I seem to have a nosebleed." Tao Yao's voice trembled.

Lu Jiuyuan was startled, and just about to take off her hand to check, but she avoided him and quickly ran out of bed.

She walked to the basin rack, dipped a cloth towel in water, wrung it dry, applied it to the back of her neck, and pinched both sides of her nose with her thumb and index finger, pushing back and up.

When Lu Jiuyuan came over, her bleeding had stopped and she was cleaning it up with a cloth towel.

Seeing this, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Are you all right?"

"It's okay, it's just a nosebleed." Tao Yao hung up the cloth towel, turned to look at him, "Look, there's no bleeding."

Lu Jiuyuan took a deep look at her, "Why did you push me away just now?"

Tao Yao blinked her eyes, "I'm afraid." In fact, she didn't want him to see her ugly nosebleed.

"Okay, okay, go to sleep." She urged, holding his arm.

Lu Jiuyuan actually knew her little thoughts, and felt a little helpless, but he didn't expose it.

……

Two days later, Tao Yao, Lu Jiuyuan and the others prepared to return to the capital.

Gu Changqing and Crown Prince Qi Yan had not finished their errands in Linzhou, so they did not go back together.

When they arrived at the pier, Tao Yao and his party unexpectedly met Princess Zhaole.

She was accompanied by the prefect of Linzhou and officials of all sizes from Linzhou who saw her off.
