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

By the time I had treated my wound and returned to the inn, it was already dark.

Qu Xiaoyou helped Chanmu sit down, then went downstairs to bring back the food. Just like how he used to feed her, she scooped up a spoonful of vegetable porridge and fed it to his mouth.

Zenmu was stunned for a moment, and used his uninjured hand to take the bowl, "No need to do that, I can use this hand."

Qu Xiaoyou dodged his hand and said firmly: "Don't say useless things. I only know that I should treat you the same way you treated me before."

Zenmu had no choice but to compromise and let her feed him.

"Does it still hurt?" Qu Xiaoyou asked him with concern while feeding him.

Zenmu, on the other hand, had a nonchalant expression and said, "It hurt a little at first, but it doesn't hurt anymore. It's just a small wound, and it's nothing compared to the injury you got during the martial arts tournament."

"This can't be compared. Your injury is unfair and it shouldn't have happened. It's all because of me..." Qu Xiaoyou felt extremely guilty.

Zenmu tried to comfort him, "Don't say that. Who would have thought that she would suddenly appear?"

Qu Xiaoyou sighed and said, "No matter what, your injury is caused by me. From today on, it's my turn to take care of you, just like you took care of me before."

After helping him finish his bedtime work, Qu Xiaoyou came to his bedside and made it for him.

Zenmu sat at the table and looked at her quietly. She was dressed in white and had black hair like a waterfall. Under the warm yellow candlelight, she looked less cold and more tender.

She bent over, her hands moving slowly and carefully, her face, which had regained its color, was so beautiful and graceful that one could not take their eyes away.

Zenmu looked at it, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. In this situation, he actually felt a kind of...

Realizing this, Zenmu was shocked and quickly looked away, secretly cursing himself for having such a ridiculous idea. It was simply too scary!

Amitabha, please forgive my sins.

After the bed was made, Qu Xiaoyou came to the table, picked up Zenmu, helped him sit on the bed, and squatted down to take off his shoes.

"Xiaoyou!" Zenmu was startled and quickly moved his feet to the side, "No way."

"Okay." Qu Xiaoyou didn't waste time talking to him. She forcefully turned his feet over and gently took off his shoes.

After taking off his shoes, Qu Xiaoyou sat next to him again and raised her hands to untie his clothes.

"This really won't work." Zenmu felt like crying but couldn't, and he covered his clothes tightly with his healthy hands.

A man and a woman alone in the middle of the night, what's going on?

Qu Xiaoyou glared at him unhappily, "Aren't you wearing a shirt underneath? What are you afraid of?"

"No! Men and women shouldn't touch each other. You'd better go back to your room quickly, otherwise if people see you, they will gossip about you." Zenmu frowned and persuaded her.

Qu Xiaoyou stared at him steadily: "So what if you spread rumors? Anyway... you have already ruined my life."

Zenmu was a little flustered, and said to her with a sad face: "Don't say such things, I can't bear it."

Qu Xiaoyou looked at him for a moment with her moist eyes, and couldn't help but raise her hands to hug him, and said in his ear in disappointment: "I have you in my heart, and you have Buddha in your heart. We have nothing to do with each other, and there is nothing we can't afford to worry about."

"Xiao You..." Zenmu was worried. The soft jade and warm fragrance were so close to him, and the girl's aroma lingered around his nose.

He wanted to push her away, but couldn't.

Qu Xiaoyou continued, "Don't worry, I love you just as you love Buddha. You can't live without Buddha, and I can't live without you.

"Why not just leave it like this? I won't force you to accept me, I won't force you to leave the monastery and marry me. I don't want a name, I don't want love, I just want to be with you day and night, and see you year after year."

Zenmu sighed deeply, his heart in a turmoil.

He knew that he couldn't let Xiaoyou be like this. He had devoted himself to Buddhism and couldn't ruin the girl's life.

But the girl was so determined that it frightened him.

What was he afraid of? He didn't know.

Because of Chanmu's injury, the two stayed in Liuyue City for another seven or eight days.

It was obvious that Chanmu's injury was in his arm, but Qu Xiaoyou treated him like a paralyzed patient during this period. Not only did she serve him tea, pour water, make the bed and fold the quilt, but she also took care of the servant's work such as fetching water for washing feet and washing clothes.

Chanmu refused all the time, but what was the use of his refusal when faced with Qu Xiaoyou's stubborn temper?

Only when Chanmu's injury was almost healed did the two of them ride on fast horses out of the city and gallop all the way to the capital.

------

In the imperial study of the palace, sitting on the dragon throne that was supposed to be occupied only by the emperor, was another man.

On the desk in front of the man, on the chair beside him, and on the ground around him, memorials to the emperor were piled up like mountains, hundreds and thousands of them.

The man sat at the desk, holding a brush and writing quickly, writing the contents of each memorial. Then his young wife, who was standing beside him, took the jade seal and stamped it with a "snap".

This unlucky man was undoubtedly Lu Xiuyuan.

He was seen gritting his teeth and glaring with an expression that looked as if his liver was about to explode, but his hands kept doing work that was not his job.

Lu Xiuyuan had never been so speechless in his life. When he received the urgent letter from Lu Shian in Liuyue City, he thought something big had happened. When he returned, he did not even enter the palace, but ran straight to the imperial palace.

Unexpectedly, once he entered the palace, he never left again.

That bastard Lu Shian, when he said something big had happened, he was referring to Ye Shiqing's birthday and he wanted to take his wife on a trip.

But the country could not be without a king for a day, so he issued an edict to summon Lu Xiuyuan back.

The reason why he said it was a big deal was because he was afraid that he would not be able to make it to a tourist attraction in time to celebrate Ye Shiqing's birthday.

Lu Xiuyuan was so shocked that he was shocked inside, but someone didn't give him the chance to refuse and just ran away with his wife.

Lu Xiuyuan was concerned about the Lu family's kingdom, but he could not ignore it, so he was forced to stay in the palace to deal with all matters of the court.

What's even more tragic is that because the imperial seal had been lost for more than a month, he had no way to review the memorials and official documents from that period of time. They all piled up and were handed to him all at once.

He had to review memorials and handle affairs day and night, and was exhausted.

What made Lu Xiuyuan even more angry was that when he handed the jade seal to Lu Shian, he said embarrassedly that he had done a poor job and that a corner of the jade seal had been damaged at some point.

Unexpectedly, Lu Shian just glanced at it casually and said calmly: "It's okay. The jade seal was missing a corner before it was lost. My wife wanted to eat walnuts at that time, and I couldn't find a hammer for a while..."

When Lu Xiuyuan heard this, he almost fainted from anger. He pointed at him for a long time but couldn't say a word.

Then, Lu Shian ran away.

He ran away with Ye Shiqing overnight.

The more Lu Xiuyuan thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. While cursing Lu Shian from head to toe in his heart, he quickly moved his sore wrist to write and draw on the memorials. He was so angry that his eyes almost popped out.

Xia Younan was watching from the side with both heartache and amusement. After he finished reviewing a memorial, she held his hand and comforted him, "Alright, alright, take a break, husband. You're as angry as a pufferfish. If you continue reviewing, you'll probably explode and die."
