Hongdi

On a moonless and windless night, with endless pain, Yu Xun stared at a pair of empty eyes, watching the weird dance of the oil lamp bean-sized flames dancing in the moderate mountain wind, his heart was as cold as water...

The curtain was raised, and a familiar medicinal fragrance wafted in along with the slightly bitter smell of Sophora japonica.Yu Xun turned his head subconsciously, but it wasn't the person who made him worry.

"Your Highness, Bei Yaofei has left a prescription saying that it will be one for the morning and one for the evening. I just fried it, so eat it while it's hot." He Bomeng stirred a bowl of bitter-smelling medicine with a spoon, scooped up a spoonful and handed it to him. To Yu Xun's eyes.

Yu Xun frowned and looked at the black soup that looked like ink, feeling displeased, "It's clearly agreed to make a pill for me to eat, but it's a soup again. Damn..."

Seeing that Yu Xun didn't speak, He Bomeng hurriedly blew again, "Bei Yaofei added a lot of Sophora japonica, it's not bitter."

"It's no wonder that Sophora japonica is not bitter." Yu Xun rolled his eyes angrily, took the medicine bowl, and drank it with his head raised in anger...

The medicine is very fragrant. It seems that it is not a medicine but a soup made of Sophora japonica, but it is so bitter that it makes your tongue astringent, and you dare not take a second sip...

He Bomeng took the medicine bowl, turned around and poured a cup of tea, but Yu Xun waved his hand, letting the bitterness remain between his lips and teeth, and continued to watch the lantern dance.

"Your Highness, what should we do next?"

"What's next?"

He Bomeng looked at the pale master, frowned his thick black eyebrows, and bowed his head in silence.

Yu Xun stared at the lantern flower, sour eyes gushing out bursts of mist.He raised his hand and rubbed his unconvincing eyes vigorously, regained his composure and asked quietly, "What's the next step? Keep marching."

"But His Highness looks like this, I think, we should rest for a few days before leaving?"

"Are you kidding me? The fighting over there is in full swing, let's rest here? Are you looking for scolding?" Yu Xun buried his head in the pillow to calm down his complicated thoughts, and said after a long while: "Didn't Xiaotian call Zesheng Du Hao from the hall has been transferred, why don't you see him?"

"Returning to Your Highness, Du Hao has been moving around the army, and seems to be in contact with someone. He will come back every few days to report to you, Your Highness, don't you remember?"

Yu Xun rolled his eyes, and immediately understood that the problem was with the medical officer surnamed Bai.He thought about it for a while, this Du Hao was in charge of the southern affairs when he was in Yushalou, and he should have gone to inquire about information, but he couldn't remember what he had reported to him.

Sighing softly, Yu Xun said, "Can I get in touch with him? Tell him to get a carriage, make it softer, and I won't ride a horse."

"This subordinate will do it."

Before He Bomeng was ordered to leave the tent, a tall man walked in through the curtain, "Your Highness, there is no need to look for it, I'm back."

Yu Xun looked at that extremely ordinary face, thought for a long time, but finally couldn't remember, "Are you Du Hao?"

"Yeah, didn't His Highness just look for me?"

"Where have you been these days?"

Du Hao rubbed his nose in embarrassment, "I, I."

Yu Xun suddenly discovered that this person suddenly had an ordinary face, but he had a pair of bright small eyes, like lacquer, shining brightly under the dim light. He suddenly regained his energy and decided to tease this person, " Du Hao, Du Hao, Xiaotian, what do they call you?"

"Ah?" Du Hao was thinking about how to sum up the events of the past few days, but Yu Xun suddenly changed the subject, leaving Monk Zhang Er confused.

"Speak quickly."

"They all call me Lao Du."

"Old Du? How old are you?"

"25."

Yu Xun twitched the corners of his mouth, "Old Du, has anyone ever told you that your eyes are very bright?"

"Ah?" Du Hao is very dizzy now. When he saw Yu Xun the first few times, he was just like a puppet in a daze. That's why he had doubts. He took his usual recipes and prescriptions and asked people everywhere.Finally, some eyebrows came back to report, why did this person suddenly become like this?

Seeing that he didn't answer, Yu Xun pursed his lips in displeasure, "Has anyone ever said that?"

"No, no." Du Hao blinked his obsidian-like eyes, and looked at him with some embarrassment, "What does Your Highness mean by asking these things?"

"Well, don't let others call you 'Old Du' in the future, it's so ugly, and you're old-fashioned, so annoying." Yu Xun looked at Du Hao with a blank face, and smiled: "I've thought about it for you." If they want to ask about the name in the future, just say that I named it and let them change their mouths.”

Du Hao had a bad feeling...

"You know Xie Ximing, right? His name is Little Crab. As for you, just call him Little Mouse."

Du Hao raised his eyebrows, "Your Highness, are you kidding me?"

"No. Have you ever looked in the mirror? Your eyes are black and bright. Only mice have such elf eyes." Yu Xun said, nodding seriously.

He Bomeng rubbed his somewhat frightened brows, and stood up bravely, "Your Highness, don't make fun of him, let's explain the business."

Yu Xun rolled his eyes at him, and said to the depressed man, "Little mouse, what have you been doing these days?"

Du Hao shouldn't...

"Little mouse..." Yu Xun deliberately lengthened the ending, forcing Du Hao to answer.

"Go back to Your Highness, I'm going to see the doctor."

"Look for a doctor? Who do you see? Me?"

"Yes. This subordinate found that there are two flavors of the medicine that His Highness used are not quite right, but we need to check for more details. According to an old doctor, it may be related to the witchcraft of Xi Kingdom, so I plan to go there ..."

"No need to go." Yu Xun hurriedly interrupted Du Hao, and said: "This matter has been resolved, my personal doctor has rushed over, and it's all right. Thank you."

Du Hao clasped his fists flattered, "This is what a subordinate should do. But I don't know who is His Highness's personal doctor, and is it trustworthy?"

"Bei Yaofei, you should have heard from Xiaotian, right?"

Du Hao nodded.

"Little mouse, I can't ride a horse now, go and help me get a car. Hurry up, I have to go on the road tomorrow."

"This subordinate will do it."

"Well. If there is nothing wrong, you can go down."

"Yes."

Du Hao and He Bomeng were ordered to leave the tent.The moment the curtain was raised, Yu Xun saw a black figure sharply, staring blankly at the falling curtain, he didn't come back to his senses for a while.

The camp that suddenly became quiet, let the bitterness soaked in the mouth sweep the entire cranial cavity again, smacked his lips, continued to look at the cheerfully dancing lanterns with some sadness, shrinking his body in the cool mountain wind that invaded the tent, Yu Xun felt A heart is inexplicably empty...

The person who realized this suddenly laughed at himself, when did he start to be filled with that person?Staring at the brighter and brighter lanterns in the darkness, his green eyes gradually became sour and gradually blurred...

"Bei Yaofei, you bastard!"

In the end, I still couldn't help it, and scolded the benefactor who always came to save me from the fire and water, and finally couldn't help it, buried my face in the pillow, and stopped the tears from bursting out of the embankment...

"I'm an asshole? Hong Yuxun, can you think before you speak?"

The cold and waveless words resounded in the silent tent, disturbing the dancing lanterns and stopping the incoming mountain wind...

Yu Xun rubbed on the pillow for a while, raised his head to glance at the speaker, but quickly turned his face away in anger.

The cool fingers were like steel forks, they were inserted tightly into the thick silver hair, and with one force, the small head was lifted up.Seeing the man biting his lip and holding back the pain, Bei Yaofei was already upset, but he couldn't save face, let go to comfort him, "Say it again, who is the bastard?"

Yu Xun blinked his foggy eyes, not squinting at the nervous person.

"say."

Bei Yaofei pulled hard into his arms, and Yu Xun was like a burden, directly bumping into that strong chest, a stream of blood trickled down the roots of his hair, and the wound on his back was instantly torn open...

"what……"

Yu Xun yelled out in pain, stared at the maniacal man aggrievedly, pouted his lips stubbornly, and immediately stopped talking.

The bright red blood slid down the white forehead, reflecting the two cinnabar moles at the corners of the eyes. The green eyes with thick water mist were crystal clear under the dim light, as if Xinhe's lips were slightly raised after the rain, as if angry. But it's like inviting...

Bei Yaofei's captivating face made Bei Yaofei fall instantly, leaning over, bowing his head, ignoring those frightened eyes, Bei Yaofei opened his mouth and bit the upturned pink lips, sucking lightly, but he couldn't feel it was enough.He pressed the person towards him fiercely, and in exchange for that person struggled for a while, he bit his soft lips hard. The person opened his mouth in pain and wanted to shout, but he was caught by him, and his tongue rushed into a strange place. Heaven and earth, but found that it was so painful...

Bitterness, the unique taste of Sophora japonica, a blind medicine I added with ulterior motives, not for anything else, just to let him know that I exist; I just want him to understand that the person who heals him and saves his life is himself; I want him to remember that there is still one person in this world who is dedicated to him...
