Jian An Kee

After a day and a night.

I stood in the corner of the room and cast my eyes on the pale man on the bed.He is the father of my child.

I came to him with a thick black concoction, picked up a small spoon, and fed the dark brown viscous liquid that had condensed in the cup into his mouth, silently saying in my heart: I don't owe you anything.You were attacked because of me, and you were saved because of me; you were wounded because of me, and you were given medicine because of me.I don't owe you anything.

He drank the concoction, coughed a few times after a while, suddenly grabbed my cuff with his left hand, and clasped my throat with two fingers of his right hand.

I backed up with a "hiss", and the medicine cup in my hand fell to the ground with a clang, but he had already woken up, and changed his button to a caress, his tone was rapid and low: "Is it you?"

"Don't touch me!" I snapped.

His eyes moved down quickly, and he paused in my abdomen. Before he could speak, he was interrupted by a violent cough.

"Don't get excited. Well, General Sun, more than half of your entourage has been injured, and all the guards originally stationed in Fuchun have arrived. Got it?"

He supported himself to sit up with his backhand, his eyes were blurred, and he still smiled and said to me: "My daughter's family will not change her fierce nature. Alan, how are you doing recently?"

His personal soldiers and attendants were originally blocked by me.At this moment, after hearing the movement in the house, several guards rushed in like headless chickens. Seeing Sun Quan sitting upright on the bed, they all knelt down and confessed: "Your humble rank has brought danger to the lord, and he deserves death!"

Taking advantage of their passionate apology, I kicked the silver lamp that had just fallen to the ground with my toe, causing it to roll under the pedals.

Over there, Sun Quan saw my small movements and said, "I have something to say to Alan, and the guards all retreat."

When the people retreated, he turned his head and said to me: "You have a body, and you are still like a child. Sit down."

I walked over slowly and sat next to him, while he stretched his leg and kicked the pedal away: "What medicine did you feed me at first?"

I shook my head and refused to speak, but when he saw this, his face darkened: "Finally, I am very worried about you being like this."

I couldn't hide it, so I simply opened the palm of my left hand to show him: there was a circle of gauze wrapped around the tiger's mouth, which was the wound left by my bloodletting.

He bent down and picked up the silver cup and brought it to his nose: "You put your own blood in it?"

I lowered my head, pretending to be deep and sad: "It's just a small medicine." I wouldn't tell him that my blood is different from others, otherwise, the wound on his body may not heal when.

"Come here." He motioned, opening his arms to wrap me in his arms.

My eyes were a little wet, and I leaned my head on his shoulder.He untied my hair tie, ran his fingers through the loose hair, and rested his chin on my shoulder.

He whispered in my ear: "Fool, what are you thinking..."

I could feel his trembling from the depths of his chest, so I grabbed his shirt, feeling inexplicably melancholy, extremely melancholy.

He moved his hand to my abdomen, and the baby probably also felt the touch from his father, and stretched his arms and legs in the abdomen.

I frowned and said "hmm", Sun Quan quickly raised his head, straightened my shoulder, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"He's moving." I said joyfully, grabbed Sun Quan's hand and motioned him to move to another place to gently stick it: "Do you feel it, the child is moving, he knows you're here."

He didn't speak, and looked at me quietly with emotions in his eyes that I had never been able to read.

This strange silence made it difficult for me. I reached out to touch the gauze wrapped on his cheek extending from his left ear to his jaw—there was a knife wound as long as the gauze.

He pulled my palm down and finally broke the silence: "What are you thinking?"

I didn't know how to deal with it at all, and finally I said, "It's okay."

He laughed, and slowly inserted his fingers between my fingers, interlocking them, making my hand hurt: "Alan, I can't imagine how you have spent the past six months."

"I'm fine." I heard his passionate tone, and I suddenly felt an irresistible disgust in my heart: "I'm doing well, and I've gained a lot of weight."

At this time, I couldn't help but think: Are you planning to gently expose the persecution of me by your mother?Since there is a first time, there is no guarantee of a second or third time... No, I will not compromise on this point.All unstable factors should be eliminated, no matter for Sun Quan or my child who is about to be born.

He was still smiling, but he couldn't hide the gloom in his eyes: "Okay, I'm relieved when you say that, go and rest."

"No, general, don't be too tired. Your injury has not healed, and you have been poisoned by bandits. You must rest well."

He nodded, with a deliberate smile flowing in his green eyes.

Feelings are the most invisible thing that kills people.The entanglement between the two of us finally ended with me paying some unspeakable price to the outside world and his scars.

I walked out of the room with the silver cup in my hand, and the steward Shen Yu with one arm hanging outside the door immediately looked up at me without any trace, his eyes contained too much emotion.

I easily caught his eyes, and after looking at him, I smiled: "The general let you in."

"Yes." He saluted me meticulously, and hurried into the room.

A hint of jealousy rose in my heart: Why are his Sun Quan's subordinates so loyal to him? On the other hand, in my hands, except for a Gongsun Shao who doesn't talk about principles and only acts according to his mood, the rest of his qualifications are mediocre.Oh, by the way, it is estimated that there will be a lot of monsters who will sing against me in the future.

Pearl is very loyal to me, but because of this, I can't bear to drag her into the muddy water all the more.I only hope that she will marry a man as she wishes in the future, be safe and happy.

The rising sun began to melt last night's fresh snow, and smoke rose from the dense camps on the river beach.The traces of the bonfire that had been lit the night before were no longer to be found.

Has it been so long since Sun Quan got out of trouble?Resting my palms on my forehead, I squinted at the sun.

"Miss, don't stand in the wind, what should I do if I catch typhoid for a while?" Zhu'er rushed from the house, holding my fur cloak in her hand.

I turned my head in disgust: "This cloak is made of fox fur, it's so scary. Give me another one."

Ignoring my hypocrisy, she stood on tiptoe and put on the cloak for me without any explanation, and tied the belt with her fingers that were red from the cold inflexibly.

I spread my arms and asked with a smile: "Zhuer, you are so kind, can I give you a hug?"

"Hey, miss, I'm worried about your stomach." She dodged my wolf hug helplessly, but insisted: "You haven't slept all night, go back to the house and have a rest."

"Understood, long-winded grandma!"

Unexpectedly, there is another big Buddha in the bedroom waiting for me.Grandma, the old man, was sitting by the bed with a cup of hot tea.

I was shocked: "Grandma, why are you here, so early in the morning..."

Her voice was tired and worried: "Alan, you haven't slept all night?"

I hurriedly said no, I slept in the west wing room and slept very well.

"Nonsense, why do you still look tired?"

I almost spat out a mouthful of blood: Could it be that all of them this morning are creditors from my previous life, and they should work together to drive me crazy?

I moved to the side of the bed and sat down, motioning to Le Ling to rub my swollen calves: "Grandma, I'm fine. I'm planning to rest now."

She sighed: "Alan, tell Grandma the truth, who is General Sun, and why did he come looking for you?"

I spread my hands together: "He is Sun Quan."

"Sun Quan?" Grandma muttered, thinking about the origin of this name.

"Uh, Le Ling, talk to my grandma." I motioned for her to come, and I quickly took off my coat and lay down on the bed.

"No," Le Ling replied crisply: "Old lady, it is our General Sun from Jiangdong, Master Sun, the one who defeated Prime Minister Cao last year and returned to Yecheng."

"It's him?" Grandma couldn't help asking: "What is he doing here for such a big man? Could it be that Alan's husband is serving as consul under him?"

"Grandma!" I said awkwardly, "It's not clear in just a few words... Le Ling, tell me."

"Ah, miss, where did the slaves start?"

"Whatever." I prevaricated, not daring to look at grandma's face, quickly covered my face with a quilt, and said, "I'm sleepy!"

So the two of them walked out of the bedroom and continued talking, their voices also subdued.

"Back to the old lady, our lady...is engaged to General Sun."

Grandma was confused: "What about the new customer?"

Le Ling hurriedly said: "Mr. Gongsun was originally a consul under the command of the Governor, and later... was entrusted to take care of Miss."

"This—how decent." After a long silence, grandma finally said.I had expected that her old man would say this soon.

The footsteps gradually faded away, and grandma didn't come into the house to question me, so I fell asleep in a feeling of luck and shame.

Before dinner, Sun Quan sent someone to invite me.I held Pearl's hand all the way through the East Wing where he rested temporarily.There were more than a dozen guards standing in the small central hall, and they all bowed respectfully when they saw me.

I was dizzy from being dazzled, so I covered my eyes with my hand, and said, "Everyone get back, what's the point of standing here together?"

The first one came over to make amends to me: "During this critical period, I dare not leave my post without permission. Miss, please forgive me."

For a moment, several grandchildren and nephews of the Sun family who were standing in the corridor greeted me one after another. Sun Quan’s cousin, Sun Jiao, even came over and earnestly asked me to try my best to persuade me to solve the important problem of “General Sun’s body is not recovered and he is busy with paperwork”.

I signaled Zhu'er to stop outside the room, and entered the room alone, and saw Sun Quan sitting on the bed half leaning on the table, holding a scroll of bamboo slips in his right hand, concentrating on himself.

I walked over lightly: "General?"

Seeing me standing alone in front of him, he couldn't help frowning, and said: "You dare to walk around with a big belly, come and sit down."

He stretched out his hand to support me, placed me on the beauty couch, and grabbed an embroidered pier for me to lean on: "How about it, is it okay to sit?"

I nodded obediently: "The general is better himself, you should sit down and rest."

"I heard from them that it was the doctor you found for me who detoxified the poison."

I hurriedly said: "It's also a coincidence, it just so happens that I have a doctor here who is familiar with Yue people's soil poison."

"Oh?" He was a little absent-minded, and said, "Then I have to find a chance to meet him."

Then he stroked my hair and asked me if I was shocked, and I carefully asked him to verify the process of his rescue-stupid enemies, timely rescuers, and of course his own unparalleled bravery and wisdom, which finally made him successful out of danger.

Or it could be said that the monsters and we are two different worlds, such a perfect rescue without revealing any traces, if not because of my position, I really want to praise her in person.

He held my hand tightly and said, "When I was attacked, I was thinking, Alan, you are a hurdle that heaven sent me, and I cannot escape."

I put on a displeasure tone: "What, could it be that I framed you this time?" In fact, my heart suddenly jumped, he wouldn't think that I framed him, would he?

He replied with a blank face: "It's almost the same. If you didn't hide in such a remote place willfully, how could I be in such a mess?"

"It's not fair, it's not my fault." I said half-truthfully, but my heart felt cold for a while.I don't know exactly what he was referring to in these few sentences, but his attitude was enough to irritate me.Can a man actually blame the woman for all the reasons for the rigid relationship between the two of them?It is tolerable and which is unbearable.

"General, you ignored me a lot of the time. What can I do? Do I come to you to ask for an explanation? I can't be so humble."

I showed him my face, but he didn't notice, he picked the end of my hair and held it in his palm: "Alan, I'm just saying, don't worry about it."

I fell silent, not understanding what he meant.

He laughed slowly: "Well, let's say you are smart, but sometimes you are very dull. Isn't this why your man is not allowed to complain behind others?"

Is he acting like a baby to me?Just kidding, it's not that I don't like this, in fact, I know that he is not such a person.

really.Then he immediately said: "Now you are inconvenient to move, tomorrow I will have a doctor from Jingkou come to accompany you, and you can stay here for another month with peace of mind. When the child is born, shall we go back?"

I shook my head vigorously, "No."
