At night, everything falls into a deep sleep, and the bustling city of Kyoto appears even quieter under the bright moon hanging high in the sky.

Only from the side rooms of the princess's mansion could one hear a restrained but heart-wrenching cough from time to time.

The delicate beauty lay on her side, this time without a handkerchief, but covering her lips with one hand.

I just leaned on the edge of the bed, panting for a long time.

I coughed so hard that my internal organs ached, and my eyes became wet due to the physiological reaction.

It seems that just by blinking your eyes, drops of water will fall.

Qiu Fu in the outer room was sleeping very soundly. She was very tired after being on the road for the past few days.

I finally got a good night's sleep, but my head felt heavy and I couldn't control myself at all.

When she suddenly woke up, the room had become quiet.

Subconsciously, he raised his arm and wiped it on his left side, then stood up and walked towards the door. The unbearable cough seemed to still linger in his ears.

But after listening carefully, there was nothing.

She pressed her ear against the door in worry, and couldn't tell whether she was dreaming or something else.

I wanted to speak, but I was afraid that what would happen if I woke up my master who had just finally fallen asleep.

After hesitating at the door for a while, he whispered, "Princess~Princess, are you okay?"

"..."

Got no response.

She waited by the door for a long time to make sure there were no uncomfortable sounds inside.

Then he went back to sleep.

Outside the bedroom window, a black figure completely blocked the faint light.

I don't know how long I stood there.

As the candlelight flickered, a figure suddenly flashed by, and the place was empty.

In a blink of an eye, the person had reached the bed. A corner of the light bed curtain was lifted, revealing a pale and beautiful face.

She frowned and slept very uneasily, gasping for breath even in her sleep.

Coughing is harmful to the body, and I just coughed up blood.

His hands were limp at his sides, and his palms were a shocking red, which was really scary to look at.

Perhaps he didn't have enough strength, and the handkerchief on the table next to him was torn into a tangle.

After all, I didn't catch it.

The figure stood beside the bed and stared at the beauty's face for a long time in the bright candlelight.

Then he slowly sat down.

The people of Kyoto City all know that Lord Qi, whom His Majesty invited, is extremely handsome, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and a high nose bridge. His face does not look like one that can go to the battlefield.

He is upright and bookish, with a bit of the flavor of a civil servant, yet he has an imposing aura.

He is a great general with iron will on the battlefield.

The capture of ten cities directly made those officials who were originally dissatisfied speechless.

General Qi, who had been trying to restore his manners during the day, walked into the princess's boudoir without any hesitation and sat on the edge of the princess's bed.

But there is no intention of following the strict rules for men and women at all.

half an hour.

He picked up the soft and limp hand and gently squeezed it in his palm, then took the handkerchief next to him and carefully wiped the glaring red.

The person on the bed was unconscious and showed no signs of waking up. His breathing was shallow, as if he would break down at any moment.

My hands also felt cool.

General Qi wiped the white palms carefully, turned his fingertips over and placed them on the weak pulse.

“Cough cough cough… cough cough cough cough cough…”

Even though he didn't wake up, he subconsciously withdrew his hand and covered up the shattering sound when he couldn't control himself anymore.

I was unaware of anything that happened just now.

I finally felt a little better, but before half an incense stick had passed I woke up feeling uncomfortable again.

Like a prisoner on the verge of death, he curled up continuously, waiting for the judgment from hell.

Yan He felt the increasingly strong smell of blood in his throat, and finally couldn't help but coughed up blood.

After I calmed down, I felt like I had almost given away half my life.

Even if she didn't die of discomfort, she would die of coughing sooner or later.

This person is weak.

He lay weakly on the bed, staring at the ceiling with half-closed eyes for a while.

Panting tiredly, breathing the air around him slightly rapidly.

She didn't know how long it took, but when the stuffiness in her chest eased a little, she felt drowsy.

A faint woody scent mixed with the smell of blood wafted over.

She half closed her eyes, blinked, and moved her nose unconsciously, but didn't wait for confirmation.

The already unclear consciousness has become blurred.

When I woke up the next day, I opened my eyes to meet Qiu Fu's curious gaze.

The smell I smelled at night was also diluted by the strong smell of medicine.

"Princess, did you sleep well last night?"

Qiu Fu carried the medicine and placed it on the square table, then walked forward to help her master up and lean him against the wall.

"I saw that the princess didn't move the handkerchief she placed there. I think she felt better last night."

There was no blood to be seen either, which was a good sign.

The little girl was still talking happily.

Yan He lowered his eyes and glanced at the palm of his hand. It was clean and spotless.

Although she was exhausted from the coughing at night, she still had some impressions.

I originally thought that Qiu Fu had cleaned her while she was sleeping.

It doesn't seem to be the case now.

I wasn't so dazed that I thought I was dreaming, but I clearly coughed up blood last night.

She wanted to take the handkerchief, but she didn't have the strength.

"Princess? Princess?"

As Qiu Fu was talking, she prepared a toothbrush and handkerchief. She turned around and saw her master staring at something in a daze.

I looked over there, but there was nothing.

"Princess? What are you thinking about?"

Yan He came back to his senses, supported himself with her hand and got out of bed. After washing up, he sat down on the recliner next to him.

Qiu Fu was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she laid blankets in various places in advance.

He chased after him with the medicine in his hand.

"Princess, drink it while it's hot. It's most effective."

"Ahem...Dr. Lin said that?"

"No, that's what I thought of myself, hehe."

Qiu Fu grew up with the princess since she was a child. The general's mansion has a simple staff and nothing messy.

The master was so good that he chose her as a little maid to serve him and didn't want anyone else.

Sometimes she is naive and romantic, which is quite cute.

Yan He curled the corners of his mouth, then frowned unconsciously when he smelled the strong smell of Chinese medicine.

A little conflicted.

But he still lowered his head and drank it without changing his expression. The bitter and hard-to-swallow taste instantly spread in his mouth.

Even after it went down my stomach, it seemed as if even the organs in my body could smell it.

I quickly reached out and picked up a piece of candied fruit and put it in my mouth, and then I gradually felt better.

"Cough cough cough..."

Qiu Fu brought a small blanket over to cover her and said, "Master, please stay here for a while. I will ask someone to make some breakfast and bring it over."

Without waiting for her to speak, he continued, "What would you like to eat, Princess? I'll ask them to make some dumplings. You are weak, so you should eat more. How can your body bear it if you don't eat..."

Before Yan He could say a word, she had already spouted off more than ten sentences.

He turned his head away from her and coughed, then waved his hand, signaling her to go quickly.
