    The next day, Bi Luo opened her eyes with difficulty. Her body hurt as if tongues of fire covered with barbs were licking her, and every inch of her flesh and bones were screaming.

    She raised her eyes and glanced at the surrounding furnishings. It didn’t look like she was in her own tent, and she didn’t know where she was for a moment.She moved her body and was about to get up, but the pain in her back became more and more clear, and the pain made her take a breath.

    “Don’t move.” Her slightly trembling body was embraced by generous arms.The faint smell of gunpowder smoke lingered from his body, and the tip of her nose moved slightly. She immediately knew that the person surrounding her at this time was Huo Sui.”You’re injured and you can’t stand it.”

    His voice was very close when he spoke, and his warm breath touched the tips of her ears.Realizing this, Bi Luo’s body couldn’t help but stiffen, her ears were quietly stained with some crimson color, her breathing was a little rapid, and even her movements were a bit cautious and unprepared.

    “General, I…”

    When she opened her mouth, her voice was slightly hoarse due to dryness.Huo Sui frowned slightly when he heard this, and immediately fetched a glass of warm water from the table next to him, put the cup to her lips, and said in a low voice, “Open your mouth.”

    Bi Luo was so nervous that she didn’t know how to move her hands and feet. She subconsciously raised her hand to take the cup, “I, myself…”

    Huo Sui refused to listen to her refusal and interrupted her directly. His voice was so hoarse that it almost touched the bones of his ears. “You are so seriously injured, why are you trying to be brave? You are seriously injured, and the military doctor has told you not to move around.” He raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes became a little darker, “Be good and open your mouth, okay?”

    The man’s final voice was extremely low and heavy, like a feather brushing against her ears. It made her cochlea numb slightly and even her heartbeat slowed down by half a beat.She subconsciously curled up her numb fingers, the tips of her ears felt hot, and even her breathing became cautious, but she still did not refuse anymore, and obediently followed Huo Sui’s actions, lowering her head and quickly taking a few sips of water.

    Huo Sui curled his lips in satisfaction, raised his hand to pick up the handkerchief, carefully wiped away the water stains that overflowed from the corners of her lips, and asked in a low voice: “Does the wound on your body still hurt?” He gestured to explore her injury.

    Bi Luo froze slightly, her eyelashes trembled slightly and she shook her head subconsciously.She was already disturbed by Huo Sui’s meticulous and considerate actions. The tips of her ears were red and hot. She felt panicked and began to have random thoughts in her mind. Her fingertips clenched the quilt under her harder and harder, like a little animal with nowhere to escape.”I’m just a humble servant, how dare you trouble the general to serve me?” She lowered her eyes and whispered softly, with a hint of panic in her respectful tone, and her eyes were filled with confusion.

    How could she get close to Huo Sui, who was like the rising sun? The dazzling afterglow seemed to melt all fragile things.But unfortunately, she, the person who is least qualified to look up to Twilight, is greedy for the warmth that does not belong to her.

    Raising his eyes slightly, Bi Luo couldn’t help but keep his eyes on Huo Shui, but he looked away in just a moment.She covered up the struggle and expectation in her eyes and quickly lowered her eyes and looked away, fearing that the shady thoughts in her heart would be revealed inadvertently.

    “I remember what I told you, don’t always maintain your identity as a slave.” Huo Sui stared at her slightly messy hair with a heavy look, his voice was low and serious.”To me, you are just Bi Luo, regardless of identity or past.”

    Bi Luo was stunned for a moment, her fingertips gripping the quilt helplessly, her heart beating so fast that she felt like she was about to jump out of her body.She bit her lip and wanted to say something else, but there was only a thin trembling sound in her throat and she couldn’t speak at all.

    Huo Sui looked at her uneasily trembling eyelashes, as nervous as a frightened little ostrich. His heart suddenly softened, and his eyes couldn’t help but darken a little.He laughed softly, his voice low and hoarse, like the crushed evening wind.”Do you understand what I mean?”

    What he said was ambiguous, which made Bi Luo’s heart skip a beat. She was afraid that she would misunderstand the meaning of his words, but she couldn’t help but think about it wildly, making her ears even redder than before.”Please, general, please don’t say such words that can easily misunderstand…”

    Huo Sui smiled lowly when he heard the words, his voice was very deep, with a hint of casual bewitchment.”That’s a misunderstanding.”

    Hearing this, Bi Luo raised her head suddenly, and the back of her head accidentally hit Huo Sui’s chin, and a very light groan came from behind her.She subconsciously wanted to turn around and check, but Huo Sui quickly held her down, preventing her from moving.”Don’t move.” There was a hint of helplessness and headache in his eyes, “You forgot that you were injured again? Why move?”

    She didn’t forget.

    It’s just that she has been a slave since she was a child, and even the most ordinary emotions cannot be easily revealed on her face, for fear of being displeased by her master.She didn’t dare to show the pain in her body, because as a slave, the first thing you should care about is the mood of your master, and secondly, the mood of others in the house.In the end, it’s yourself.

    Thinking about her identity, she froze slightly, as if she suddenly remembered something, and there was a hint of shame in her eyes, but there was no more light.She seamlessly restrained her attempts to get closer to Huo Sui, creating a cold gap between them.

    He was keenly aware of the sudden alienation of the person in front of him and frowned slightly. Just when he was about to say something, there was a slight noise outside the tent.The next moment, Dr. Gu appeared in front of the two of them carrying a medicine box.

    Seeing Huo Sui, who was so fat and half-hugged into his arms, he couldn’t help but add a bit of ridicule to his eyes.After just one glance, he looked away and sat down on the small stool next to the bed dutifully, letting Bi Luo stretch out her hand to feel his pulse.”Girl, this injury…” He smiled, and was about to say that the injury has gradually stabilized, and all he needs to do next is to take a good rest.

    Huo Sui suddenly gave him a warning look. He was a little confused and hesitated for a moment.

    “Is my injury… serious?”

    The moment Bi Luo finished speaking, Huo Sui suddenly nodded towards his forehead from an invisible place behind her.

    Doctor Gu had already figured out the subtle connection between the two of them and understood it instantly.He touched the long beard on his chin, pretending to be serious and said: “It is true… the injury is not serious.” After saying that, he glanced at Huo Sui again, and seeing that the man was satisfied with his forehead, he continued to add, “You can rest well during this period and don’t touch the injury.”

    His words were full of her true condition, but he suddenly changed the topic and said with a smile: “Of course, if you want to recover quickly, you have to find a suitable person to take care of her, move less and rely more on others.” As soon as he finished speaking, he glanced at Huo Sui casually, and when he saw the latter casting a look of approval at him, he couldn’t help but straighten his back and look a little more proud.

    “How’s the injury? The queen and I didn’t hear the truth outside.” Xie Ciyan took Yan Zhaozhao’s hand and entered the tent together.

    Bi Luo subconsciously wanted to get out of bed and greet the emperor, but Huo Sui held her down and raised his eyebrows, “Forgot again? The military doctor told you to move less.”

    But the actions of the two of them were inappropriate at this moment. She struggled slightly, but Huo Sui grabbed her waist and stopped her movement.Just as she was about to speak, her mother-in-law had already walked up to the collapse.

    When Yan Zhaozhao saw this, he quickly said, “There is no need to salute. You should get some rest soon.”

    There was a real smile on Biluo’s lips, “Thank you, my dearest lady.”

    She walked to the side of the bed and held Bi Luo’s hand. Her eyes were full of worry, “What do you think? Does the wound still hurt?”

    Bi Luo smiled back, “It doesn’t hurt anymore. Your Majesty, you don’t have to worry about me.”

    Huo Sui frowned even more when he heard this.”How could it not hurt?” He said subconsciously, “How could it not hurt if the arrow pierces into the flesh and blood? The imperial doctor has said that you need to rest well and take good care of it.”

    Xie Ciyan glanced at Huo Sui with a strange expression, and then looked at the military doctor, “Is he right?”

    Dr. Gu was really sweating for himself. He hurriedly walked to the emperor, looking a little hesitant, but after only hesitating for a moment, he decisively decided to betray Huo Sui. He would not bear the charge of deceiving the emperor.”Back to the Emperor…”

    “Of course you are right.” Huo Sui interrupted without blushing and without a beating heart, “Every word is what Dr. Gu said. He said Bi Luo was seriously injured and needs to rest, is that right?”

    Dr. Gu wiped the cold sweat from the other side of his body again. He had been favored by the general in the past, but it was really embarrassing for him to be like this now.He took two steps closer to the emperor and said softly: “Although Miss Biluo’s injury is serious, her condition has stabilized. All she needs to do next is to warm up and rest.”

    Xie Ciyan raised his eyebrows and looked at Huo Sui with a hint of unexplained meaning, “Oh? Since you know it so well, then go on.”

    “Doctor Gu also said that she should move less and rely more on others. It is best not to leave the bed if necessary.” He added a few words that Dr. Gu had not said before, but he said them without any hesitation, as if what he said was true.

    There was so much cold sweat on Dr. Gu’s forehead that he couldn’t wipe it off. He said tremblingly: “After a few more days of careful care, you can go to bed. If you want to get out of bed, you will have to rely on others, but… this person does not have to be General Huo.”

    Xie Ciyan immediately understood everything, and glanced at Huo Sui, who was sitting on the bed with a calm expression, “General Huo is quite attentive.”

    “Of course.” Huo Sui said with a smile on his lips and said seriously: “Since Bi Luo was injured because of me, it is also appropriate for me to take care of her.”

    Xie Ciyan had an almost indelible smile in his eyes, but he didn’t reveal Huo Sui’s thoughts.”If that’s the case, then take good care of her.” He looked at Bi Luo, who was on the couch and didn’t know that Huo Sui had been watching her. “You should take good care of yourself during this period of time. After you have fully recovered, you can return to your mother-in-law to serve you.”

    Yan Zhaozhao didn’t know the undercurrents among them. After hearing what Huo Sui said, she felt even more worried, “He’s right. You are still young, so don’t let this cause the disease. You can take care of yourself and don’t worry about me.”

    Bi Luo did not want to be taken care of by Huo Sui, but there were no female relatives in the military camp. She was about to refuse, but before she could say anything, she was interrupted by the man behind her, “Don’t worry, I will take good care of her.”
