How to cough up blood

The sky is getting dark and the moon is sinking.

The lingering black air gathers and disperses from time to time, wrapping something tightly, occasionally there is the sound of whipping, mixed with vague swallowing and low swallowing.

The black mist gently caressed Wu Yunian's face, and then slowly descended, penetrating into every hole.

The black mist and the sympathy of the dead are extremely convenient, and it also made him explore more places in Wu Yunian.There were more and more welts on his body, but it was obvious that the welts at the beginning were extremely heavy, and later turned into red marks like cat scratches.

Ji Fan thought about it: "Is the master running out of strength?"

So the black vine stuck in Wu Yunian's mouth was slowly pulled out.

There was a sudden panting sound in the room, accompanied by a low cough, the corners of Wu Yunian's eyes were red, the finger bones holding the whip turned white, and he said in a hoarse voice: "...Get out!"

This sentence was strangled in his throat before he finished speaking. It was as if Ji Yan had been prepared. Although there was no gag, he was very experienced and knew how to keep Wu Yunian from cursing.

……

The black vine had been dry for a long time, and finally got enough moisture, every inch was covered with water, and the dripping dew was crystal clear, but it was a little too much, and the ground was stained with water.

Wu Yunian's whole body softened into a puddle.

His eyes were slack, and the hand holding the whip became looser and looser, and finally he couldn't hold it anymore. When he was about to fall to the ground, he was quickly picked up by Ji Yanyan.

He stroked his hair back, his facial features were deep and wild, he looked at the whip and pondered for a moment, and asked earnestly, "Is the master still using it?"

Wu Yunian: "..."

damn thing.

He didn't even have the strength to curse.

Gou Shi was very considerate and waited for him for a while, seeing that he hadn't spoken yet, so he let out an oh, expressing his understanding.

"It seems that the master doesn't need it anymore."

He looked at the delicate and hard handle of the whip and the bell attached to it, curiously stretched out his hand to fiddle with it, and said, "Then I will use it for the master."

Exactly how he used it on Wu Yunian is no longer known, but the bell rang intermittently for a long time, and the handle of the whip seemed to be accidentally soaked in the teacup and was also stained with water.

[Ah Ruan: The recovery rate of the dead, 80.00% nine. 】

At noon on the day before he left for the General's Mansion, Wu Yunian managed to recover from the bed. He coughed and stood up a little.The teeth marks on the body and the strangle marks left by the vines were interlaced and mottled on the pale skin.

The surrounding vines disappeared, and Ji Fan disappeared.

The ground was cleaned up, and the whip was placed beside his pillow, as if he was the only one here.

"..."

The depression and anger that was simmering in my heart dissipated all of a sudden.

Wu Yunian lowered his eyes quietly, inexplicably feeling that the room was a bit empty.

Suddenly, his eyes paused, and he raised his wrist to take a closer look.I saw a strange black mark on the originally empty right wrist at some point.

Thin like black vines, but it can't be washed off, as if carved into the skin.

"Cough...cough..."

There was an unspeakable itchiness in his lungs, and Wu Yunian stopped worrying about the mark on his wrist immediately. He frowned tightly, took out a brocade handkerchief under the pillow, and coughed out a mouthful of blood.

This blood was different from the cold blood he coughed up in the past. It was bright red and dazzling, mixed with a strange fragrance.

Poisonous to the bone, fragrant to the bone, so is the blood.

One month before the onset of the poisoning, the internal organs of the poisoned person gradually decayed, but the skin became more delicate.

Wu Yunian was stunned for a moment, then slowly put away the handkerchief, threw it into the brazier, and after getting dressed, he took the bronze mirror on the table

The complexion of the person in the mirror is much better than usual, the lips are bright red, and even the paleness and gloom between the eyebrows and eyes have dissipated a lot.

His appearance has not changed much from when he was a teenager, but this healthy appearance now makes him think that he is back to his youth.

Wu Yunian coughed in a low voice, got up and left the room.

"My lord," Ren Ye and Ren Chun hurriedly greeted him when he came out.

Wu Yunian: "Yes."

Seeing his ruddy complexion, Ren Ye showed a smile on his face: "Your Excellency looks better than usual."

Wu Yunian paused, glanced at Renchun, and nodded slowly: "Yes, the new medicine formulated by Renchun is very good."

For the past few days, Renchun has been researching the solution to bone-wrapping poison, and his eyes are black and tired, so he relaxed a little, and said with a smile: "It's good for adults."

Wu Yunian: "Is everything ready? I must not let anyone other than you know about my going to the General's Mansion."

Ren Ye: "...My lord, are you really going?"

Ninchun: "...My lord."

They had seen Wu Yunian's tragic appearance when he came out of the General's Mansion after changing to the Lie Yu Army. In just one night, his lord almost lost his life.I can't even imagine what my lord will look like if I live in the general's mansion for a month.

Wu Yunian said indifferently: "During the period when I was away from the mansion, if someone sent me a letter, you should pick it up for me first, and then send it to the general's mansion."

Ren Ye couldn't help but said, "Won't your lord take me with you?"

Wu Yunian: "Lenchun is also staying here, I will go by myself," he paused, and then added, "The medicine can be packed, and you can bring enough weight."

Naturally, he had his intentions in doing so, and both Ren Chun and Ren Ye were his confidantes.If he often shows up in the General's Mansion, then the news about him in the General's Mansion may be exposed soon.If you can't explain it at that time, it is the crime of deceiving the king.

Although Ren Chun and Ren Ye were anxious, Wu Yunian had no choice but to make up his mind. After they quietly sent Wu Yunian away according to the original plan, they returned to the National Teacher's Mansion, faking the illusion that the Guoshi was still in the mansion.

……

When Wu Yunian arrived at the General's Mansion, it was already dark.

He walked forward with the attendants for a long time, coughing muffledly: "Where is my room?"

The attendant respectfully said: "The general ordered you to stay in his room."

Wu Yunian frowned, slowly clenched his hands in his sleeves, and after a while, gradually loosened them again.

"Young man, here we are."

The attendant pushed the door open and retreated silently.

Wu Yunian stepped in and looked around.

Cheng Su's room was very spacious, but it seemed a bit too refined, there were even incense burnt on the tables, and thick blankets were spread under his feet.

There were already a few maids waiting in the room, "My lord, the slaves and maids are waiting for you to take a bath," he said before going forward.

The disgust in Wu Yunian's eyes was almost overflowing, he took two steps back, and coughed continuously: "Stay away from me."

The maid said embarrassingly: "But you... you still have to talk to the general..."

Wu Yunian: "Where is he?"

The maid said respectfully: "The general went to the barracks and hasn't come back yet. He just told us to take good care of the young master." After saying that, she clapped her hands, and immediately three people came up with trays, all covered with clean satin.

The maid opened the first one: "This is something for your bath."

Wu Yunian glanced at it, and there were jade combs, saponins, spices, etc. inside, which were very delicate, and they were the things he used in his own house.

He raised his eyebrows, it seemed that Cheng Su had made preparations.

His face was so cold that it could freeze, "Put it there, I will wash it myself."

Wu Yunian originally wanted to get everyone out, but after all, he had something to ask of others, so he could only swallow his anger and give in.

The leading maid struggled for a while, but seeing Wu Yunian's insistence, she had to compromise.

A quarter of an hour later, Wu Yunian's face was flushed by the heat. He lifted his hair and said through the screen, "Clothes."

The maid sent the second tray in, she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at it.

A moment later, there was a sudden loud bang from behind the screen, Wu Yunian dropped the tray, holding the 'clothes', after a long while, an extremely cold voice came out

"...Is this also Cheng Su's preparation?"

The things in his hands were not so much clothes as rags.

The bright red veil is worn on the body in a thin layer, which is partly hidden, and almost everything can be seen.

His identity here is kept secret, but many people speculate that he is Cheng Su's favorite boy.Putting on such a big air at this time, the murderous intent in that voice made many maids feel anxious.

"Yes... it is for you. Since you are here, the most important thing is to serve the general well. These things can help you win the general's favor."

Wu Yunian tightened his fingers slowly, and the gloomy look in his eyes became heavier.

After a while, a sweet smell welled up in his throat, and the blood he coughed up dripped out between his fingers, fell into the bathtub, scattered and disappeared.

"..."

Wu Yunian was stunned for a moment, then slowly lowered his eyes, and after a while, he washed his hands clean.

He didn't say anything more, wiped his body clean, and put on the red gauze.

Her white feet stepped on the blanket, and her thin ankles were lightly covered by the red gauze.As if he wasn't the one who was angry just now, Wu Yunian walked out: "Okay, you all go out."

It was the first time for him to wear a red dress, his complexion was like snow, the tails of his eyes were slender, and the parted thin red lips added a touch of magnificence. The way he looked at him at a glance could suck away people's souls.

The maid raised her head subconsciously, and after seeing Wu Yunian's face clearly, she was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and stammered: "You... there is one more thing," she pointed to the direction of the bed, "Please go and lie down on it. good."

Wu Yunian sat down by the bed, looked at the last tray brought by the maid, and paused, "What's inside?"

The maid blushed and said, "You must have had a good time with the general before."

She was referring to the mottled hickey marks and tooth marks on Wu Yunian's body.The maid didn't know the inside story, and thought that the marks on Wu Yunian's body were left by Cheng Su.

Wu Yunian's face was calm, and he didn't explain much.

The maid lifted the last wooden tray, bowed her head and said, "For the convenience of the general, please prepare it first."

The things placed inside are neatly arranged in a row from short to long, from thin to thick.There are also delicate objects like hairpins, golden in color, with hollow agate balls on the top.

Wu Yunian: "..."

[Fuzhi: Hey, this guy has always been the most flashy, and he's stubborn. 】

【Ah Ruan: Cough, he went to Chunfenglou to ask for advice a few days ago. 】

[Fuzhi: Uh... is he coming soon?How long? 】

[Ah Ruan: There is still a quarter of an hour, oh, by the way, master, there is one more thing, Jade is right next to you, but it seems that the five senses are weak. 】

[Fuzhi: Oh? 】

A blue light flashed across his eyes, and he saw the misty black mist around him.

[Fuzhi: Just watch, it's not me who is crying. 】

After the maid finished saying that, the temperature in the room seemed to cool down all of a sudden.

Seeing that Wu Yunian hadn't moved, the maid urged: "Young master, you'd better hurry up, lest the slaves and servants be difficult to explain after the general returns."

Said they will move forward.

Wu Yunian's eyes were gloomy, like a poisonous snake that was about to be devoured, and his voice was extremely cold: "Stop."

His nails almost dug into his palm, he swallowed the fishy sweetness in his throat, closed his eyes, and casually took one on the tray.

"……I will do it myself."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but the black vine imprint on his right wrist suddenly burned, and there was no wind in the room, but the broken hair falling by his ear was gently stirred.

Wu Yunian didn't notice it.

He looked at the maids in front of him, and his tone was inexplicably cold: "Why...you still want to watch?"

The few of them looked conflicted, exchanged glances, and compromised, put the tray by the pillow, and slowly lowered the bed curtain.

"The slaves and maidservants have gone out. If you need anything, just tell us." Before leaving, the maid was still worried, "The general is coming back soon, you must prepare yourself."

The figure in the bed curtain slowly descended and lay down on the bed.

The maid breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him move, and retreated silently.

Cheng Su came back from the barracks in a busy manner, thinking that Wu Yunian liked to be clean, so he went to the side room to take a shower and change into clean clothes.

Although he knows about those things between men, he is not very familiar with them. A few days ago, he went to Chunfeng Building to ask for advice. After learning for a few days, the mother there directly sent him a few maids, who said they were gentle and very good at serving people. .

I don't know if the service is good or not.

Cheng Su didn't know that the "serving" he understood and the "serving" that Chunfenglou's mother said meant two things.

He wiped his half-dried hair, and when he walked to the door of his room, the maid bowed her head and said respectfully: "General, the gentleman inside is ready and has been waiting for a long time."

Cheng Su pursed his lips, thinking of Wu Yunian's jerky and innocent appearance before, he wanted to laugh, and a pair of peach blossom eyes flashed with pity and tenderness.

This month, he has to take good care of it and not be as impulsive as before.Doesn't Wu Yunian like Yuezheng's gentle and jade-like appearance?

He just wanted to chat with Wu Yunian tonight, so that he could gradually occupy his heart step by step.

Cheng Su thought well. After entering the room, he glanced around, but immediately felt something was wrong.

There was no sign of Wu Yunian beside the table, the desks, or the bookshelf.

Cheng Su frowned slightly, and took a step forward, but heard a low moan from the direction of the bed.

Feather-like, falling in the heart, very scratchy.

Cheng Su froze immediately.
