The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength

The girl cried, her delicate face like jade was like pear blossoms in the rain.

"Can I ever see you with long hair in this lifetime?"

She asked in a hoarse voice, looking into the distance, not daring to look at him.

Zenmu's heart seemed to be hit by a stone, and ripples spread out from the center.

He did not answer her question. He should have denied it immediately and told her that he would never grow long hair in his life and let her give up the idea. But the words came to his lips, but he couldn't say them.

Maybe he was too tired, so he couldn't speak, Zenmu thought.

Neither of them spoke after that. Zen Mu closed his eyes and lay quietly on Qu Xiaoyou's legs. The unique fragrance of the young girl lingered on his nose, making him drowsy.

"Xiaoyou! Senior Brother!"

Suddenly, faint shouts were heard not far away, and flickering flames appeared in the woods.

Qu Xiaoyou exhaled heavily and responded loudly in the direction of the fire, "We are here!"

Zenmu fainted at some point, and when he woke up again, he found himself lying in a room in Baimiao Village. Outside the window, the sky was bright, and roosters were crowing over and over again, reminding people to start a new day of work.

He really had lost too much blood. After a night's sleep, he still felt dizzy and had no strength in his body. His face and lips were still frighteningly pale.

"Big Brother." A familiar voice sounded beside his ears, and Chanmu realized that the room was full of people, including Lu Xiuyuan, Xia Younan, Chan En, Chen Yi, Zhu Li, Xiong Fei...

They all looked very tired, probably because they had been guarding him here since he brought them back last night.

"Brother, are you okay?" When they saw him wake up, several people rushed to his bedside and asked him with concern.

Zenmu was touched and thanked them, saying that he was fine. Then he couldn't wait to ask, "Where's Xiaoyou?"

Xia Younan raised his eyebrows and motioned for him to turn his head. "He's lying next to you."

Zen Mu was stunned and turned his head to look inside the bed, and saw Qu Xiaoyou, who also looked pale, lying next to him.

She must have been in a lot of trouble. Her eyes were closed and she was sleeping peacefully. She hasn't regained consciousness yet.

Zenmu reacted and felt angry and embarrassed. He struggled to get up from the bed and blamed them unhappily, "You are so ignorant of etiquette. Men and women should not touch each other. How could you put us in the same bed?"

He wanted to get out of bed, but his limbs were sore and his head was dizzy. He moved several times, but finally lay back down awkwardly.

Xia Younan sighed and explained helplessly: "Both of you have health problems and cannot live without someone. Isn't it the idea to put you together so that we can all take care of you?"

"You..." Zenmu wanted to refute, but he couldn't say anything.

After a pause, he turned his head to look at Qu Xiaoyou who was still sleeping beside him, frowned and asked: "How is she? Is the poison gone?"

Xia Younan nodded and replied: "Yes, it was because the detoxification was too painful that she fainted from the pain."

Zenmu nodded and said nothing more.

"Big Brother, you are so good to Xiaoyou. In order to temporarily slow down Xiaoyou's poison, you even fed her blood. She almost lost her life due to excessive blood loss." Xia Younan looked at him and joked, with a hint of amusement on his expression.

Zenmu heard the teasing in her words, glared at her unhappily, and retorted: "Monks are compassionate. Didn't your husband feed you blood to keep you alive?"

Xia Younan chuckled, took Lu Xiuyuan's arm, and leaned her head on his shoulder sweetly, "Yes, but we are husband and wife, are you too?"

Zenmu was stunned, his wheat-colored face suddenly turned red, and he stared at her for a long time without being able to utter a complete sentence.

"Big Brother, do you like Sister Xiaoyou?" Zen En rushed to the bedside and asked Zen Mu with a curious look on his face.

Zenmu was so angry that he narrowed his eyes, raised his hand and slapped him on the bald head.

"Ouch!" Zen En screamed, covered his head and bounced far away, screaming in pain.

The culprit Bai Ziweng is dead, the prescription for the antidote to the human skin Gu has been obtained, and the Gu in Qu Xiaoyou and the boy from Diancheng has also been cured.

In this way, the mission they came here for was successfully completed. After taking care of Chanmu and Qu Xiaoyou for three days to recover their strength, they were ready to go and rode their horses to leave Bai Miao Village.

When saying goodbye to Yue Xiangsong and the others, Bai Yiyao was still reluctant to leave, and kept saying that she would go to Beijing to play with Xia Younan when she had time.

Xia Younan said to her with a smile: "You can go, but you either need to bring a man or your brain, otherwise you will be easily deceived."

Bai Yiyao's face turned red so much that it seemed like blood might drip out.

The marriage between Bai Yiyao and Yue Zhibai went quite smoothly, and Bai Yiyao's parents were very satisfied and relieved about Yue Zhibai.

The Miao village has already been decorated, and they are just waiting for the auspicious day to arrive in a few days so that the newlyweds can worship heaven and earth and enter the bridal chamber.

The return to the capital was relatively smooth, and Lu Xiuyuan gave the formula for curing the human skin Gu to Lu Shian.

Lu Shi'an was overjoyed and immediately sent the recipe to the border by carrier pigeon. The military doctor prepared the antidote according to the recipe, which resolved the poison problem at the border, and the three armies gradually returned to normal.

In this matter, Lu Xiuyuan had made another great contribution. Lu Shi'an praised him generously in the court and rewarded him with a lot of gold, silver and treasures, which attracted his subjects to praise him.

On the winter solstice, heavy snow fell for three whole days, so that when the sky cleared, everything in the world seemed to be covered with a layer of shimmering white coat, dazzling people's eyes with only amazement.

Just after morning, the streets were already bustling with cars and people.

There are especially many stalls selling hot food on both sides of the road, with everything from steamed buns, mutton soup, to big stews. All of them are freshly cooked with firewood, and the fragrant hot steam continues to attract the taste buds of passers-by.

Yes, in this freezing weather, having a hot meal is more useful than putting on more clothes.

Everyone was wrapped up very thickly, with plush coats and thick mink hats, as if they wanted to wrap themselves up like a ball, but their faces and ears were still red from the cold.

Passersby rubbed their hands and stamped their feet, with hot air coming out of their nostrils, a scene unique to winter.

The sunlight in the winter morning was not very warm. Xia Younan and Lu Xiuyuan, Su Yu and Lu Yanluo, Zhu Li and Xiong Fei, all wore thick cotton coats and strolled on the street, talking and laughing.

Xia Younan wore a thick velvet brocade skirt inside and a sky blue embroidered cape outside. She had a green plum hairpin in her bun on her head.

Her pretty face was lightly made up, and she looked exceptionally fresh and lovely, causing Lu Xiuyuan beside her to be unable to look away.

Lu Xiuyuan wore a black robe with gold edges inside and a black mink fox fur cloak outside, which made him look particularly tall and slender. His brows were full of dignity and domineering. He and Xia Younan were a perfect match made in heaven.

"We're here. Zhu Li and Xiong Fei, go in and buy some." When they arrived at a store selling winter clothing, quilts and other equipment, Xia Younan took out a thick stack of silver bills and handed them to Zhu Li and Xiong Fei.

"Okay!" Zhu Li and Xiong Fei agreed, took the banknotes and ran into the store.
