The sun shone warmly through the parted cloth window and fell on Junxu’s body, which was very comfortable. Junxu slightly raised the corners of her lips. It was quite nice to have such a dream. In the past, she would just cuddle up with her big dog, lie quietly on the floor, and enjoy the most comfortable afternoons. At that time, she was truly and unconditionally happy. Her parents would come home from work, and the mist rising from the colourful pottery teacups would fill the room with the fragrance of tea and ink. Satoru would lie quietly next to her, breathing.
The door curtain was gently lifted, and Cai Han walked in with bloodshot eyes. Junxu opened her eyes in surprise. Cai Han forced a smile
‘My lord, my lord, the military doctor is in a hurry to prepare medicine… He will be right over.”
Junxu glanced at his attire—ancient costume, that expression—lying. She let out a soft sigh, closed her eyes, raised her right hand, and swung it hard at the bedboard. A loud sound—pain…
She let out a heavy sigh—she understood…
While she was still sighing, Cai Han was already kneeling on the ground, flogging her left and right, and the sound of cracking made Jun Xu a little confused
‘You… What… What’s going on?’
Cai Han was kneeling on the ground with her face red and swollen, kowtowing
‘My lord, it’s my fault, I will try my best to correct it, please don’t be angry anymore’
Jun Xu was puzzled
“What’s wrong with you?’
‘Cai Han is lazy and gluttonous, stupid, ugly, rude, and foul-mouthed. He is only fit to be a gigolo in a brothel…‘
Jun Xu was dumbfounded, listening to the boy in front of her ranting and raving about how worthless he was
’That…that…ah, stop, stop!‘
Cai Han immediately stopped talking and started slapping him again. Jun Xu was sweating profusely
’Stop!’
The boy raised his face, his big eyes full of fear and pain. Junxu gasped twice
‘Don’t belittle yourself like that…’
The boy trembled. Junxu froze. What had she said wrong? Just as she froze, the boy rolled over and came at her
“My lord…my lord, are you going to abandon your servant? Don’t abandon your servant, I’ll take the punishment… I have been with you for ten years… I am stupid, I am foolish, but… but… but… I cannot go, I don’t want to go! Please, please, my lord.‘
Junxu felt weak all over, gritted his teeth, and held out his trembling hand to stroke the top of the young man’s head
’Don’t cry, who said you had to go? What would I do if you left?’
Junxu was speechless. I don’t know anyone here, after all. Cai Han suddenly lifted his face, and Junxu was taken aback. He smiled
‘Who said you were ugly? You’re such a handsome and spirited young man, heh heh, where are you ugly? Hurry up and stop crying, get me a glass of water.’
‘Apart from death, Cai Han will never leave my master!’
His tone was firm, and his gaze even firmer, piercing Junxu with cold sweat.
There was a sneer at the door
‘Your Highness has died once, and yet you can tell the difference between good and bad. That’s really rare.‘
Junxu looked up and saw a young general walk in, casually sitting by her bed and giving her a light, slow glance with his phoenix eyes
’Or perhaps Your Highness knows how to make better use of scarce resources?”
Junxu remained expressionless, while Cai Han cautiously walked over
‘General Tong… why isn’t the military doctor here?‘
Tong Li roughly grabbed Jun Xu’s arm
’Everyone is too busy from the battlefield to have time to serve anyone else!‘
Jun Xu frowned and used some strength to shake off Tong Li’s hand, giving him an unfriendly look
’General, you don’t even know the rules of propriety, do you?”
Tong Li snorted
‘I don’t mind, Your Highness, so what do you mind? If Your Highness really minded so much, you wouldn’t have followed someone else’s shadow so obsessively and done despicable things, would you?”
Jun Xu’s jaw almost dropped. What do you mean… You don’t mind? Why… It sounds so awkward… He turned his head and looked at Cai Han… Could it be… He’s not… an eunuch?
Tong Li’s logic was all messed up. He looked at Jun Xu, who didn’t say a word, and snorted. He roughly grabbed Jun Xu’s wrist
‘I guess he won’t die. Just calm down for a while. Don’t go to the battlefield to die for no reason, and make a mess of things.’
Cai Han blushed, and she should have held back her anger. Jun Xu pretended not to hear, and Tong Li kicked the bed
“Your Highness! Did you hear that? !’
Jun Xu subconsciously looked up, this man… He had bushy eyebrows and feng eyes, a full forehead, a narrow chin, and quite good skin. He was indeed good-looking, but… Jun Xu looked down… That’s about it, I can’t see anything else.
Tong Li saw Jun Xu’s angry eyes
‘What are you looking at!!!? Do you want to die!?’
This sentence was really familiar to Jun Xu. She couldn’t help but glare at him, coldly saying
