General's humble stand-in

No matter how Princess Pingnan looked at Tao Zhuo's face, she felt that it was an eyesore. It was not an enviable surprise, but a clean and clear one that aroused people's pity.

The silver hairpin pressed against Tao Zhuo's left cheek with a cold glow, and the coldness seeped into the flesh and blood through the pores.

Tao Zhuo pursed his lips tightly, looking from the corner of his eyes, he could only notice the hand of the princess holding the silver hairpin.His face remained calm as if there were no waves, but he knew that the panic in his heart made his breathing stagnate in his throat.

How is it possible not to be afraid, the wounds on the body can be covered, but the wounds on the face can't be blocked, who doesn't cherish their appearance.Even if he died, he didn't want to end up disfigured.

"You also hate that you look like Mo Ziji?" The princess sneered, "Don't worry, you won't look like that soon."

Viciousness gathered in the beautiful eyes almost instantly, Princess Pingnan slashed along Tao Zhuo's cheek vigorously, and instantly a long bloodstain stained his face.

Really unable to bear the torture and pain, Tao Zhuo let out a painful moan from his throat.

Clutching the silver hairpin that was dripping with blood, Princess Pingnan smiled comfortably, "You little slave, do you know it hurts? I just like to hear your painful melody, please hum a few more times."

Saying that, Princess Pingnan raised his hand again and raised the silver hairpin in his hand.

Before the arm fell, suddenly a silver light struck like lightning, hitting the Princess' wrist impartially.

"Ah." The pain made Princess Pingnan exhale, the hairpin in his hand fell to the ground, and there were bloody scars on his wrist.

"Gu Yan." Princess Pingnan was out of breath.

Tao Zhuo only felt his heart stop for a moment, and then hit his chest frantically again.He subconsciously wanted to turn his head to look, but he was afraid that his current appearance would stain his eyes.

He lowered his head humbly, wishing he didn't come.

The silver soft whip in his hand is used for self-defense, usually it is not visible when it is worn around the waist, but it came in handy today.

Gu Yan walked over step by step with a gloomy expression.

When she saw the shocking wound on Tao Zhuo's body, Gu Yan clenched her teeth in disbelief, and veins popped out of the hand holding the soft whip.

Because Princess Pingnan was pregnant, Gu Yan really couldn't do anything to her, so she kicked Caizhu's abdomen. The painful Caizhu turned pale instantly and knelt down on the ground.

"Get lost." Gu Yan's eyes were full of cruelty.

Seeing this, Princess Pingnan didn't dare to talk back, grabbed the colorful beads and left in a hurry.

Even though she was angry at him for ruining Zizhi's property, she was also angry at him for being jealous and clinging to him. It can be seen from his appearance at this time that Gu Yan still had a momentary palpitation and a dull pain.

After untying the rope on his wrist, Tao Zhuo couldn't stand up at all, and fell directly into Gu Yan's arms.

The smell of blood lingered in her nose, whether it was the deep bloodstains on her wrists or the wounds on her face that kept bleeding, Gu Yan couldn't help but panic.

Picking up Tao Zhuo, Gu Yan told Gu Ansheng, "Go to Cheng Mansion and ask Shen Feng to come over, hurry up."

— Gu Yan walked in a hurry on the road, Tao Zhuo leaned against his chest and listened to the sound of heartbeat coming from inside.All the injuries, all the pains, seem to be unimportant.At this moment, only him, and only him, is enough to heal all Tao Zhuo's pain.

All the tenacity and tenacity were quietly stripped away at this moment, Tao Zhuo slowly closed his eyes and fell into darkness.

It seems to have had a long dream, and the peach blossoms are blooming in the dream.Always feeling that something is lost, Tao Zhuo keeps looking for it, but he will never be able to get out of this endless youth.

When Tao Zhuo woke up, it was already three days later.

The afternoon sun shines through the window screens, casting a faint ray of light in mid-air, casting a golden glow.

There were bursts of pain and itching in the body, Tao Zhuo twisted impatiently and wanted to reach out to grab it, but someone grabbed it under the wrist.

"Don't move."

"Master?" Tao Zhuo was slightly taken aback, "Why are you here?"

Shen Feng raised his eyebrows, "Guess."

Taozhuo smiled embarrassedly, feeling that he really asked nonsense.

Like a cute cat, Tao Zhuo kept rubbing against Shen Feng's arm with the top of his head, "Master, I miss you."

"I didn't see it." Shen Feng said with a serious face, "You have been in a coma for three days, and you have read Gu Yan's name hundreds of times, without me even once."

"Ah?" Tao Zhuo blushed in embarrassment, "Really?"

"Of course it's fake."

Tao Zhuo glared at Shen Feng, "I'm not in shape, how can I look like a master."

Shen Feng put a handsome face in front of Tao Zhuo, the smile on his lips made Tao Zhuo feel creepy.

"What is it like to be a master?"

Tao Zhuo was about to speak just now: Gentle, kind.Suddenly, he saw a few more silver needles in Shen Feng's hand, and before he could ask carefully, they had already penetrated into his body.

The severe pain made Tao Zhuo lose his eyesight for a moment, arching his back like a ripe prawn, clenched his fists and trembling constantly.

Fortunately, this tingling pain only lasted for a short while, and gradually turned from pain to numbness all over the body.

Seeing that Tao Zhuo's face recovered, Shen Feng said with a smile, "The apprentice is disobedient, most likely because he needs to clean up, just prick it a few times and it will be fine."

It is recorded in medical books that pricking the meridians with silver needles has the effects of dispelling cold, detoxifying, promoting blood circulation, and activating collaterals.Tao Zhuo understands all these things, but there is one thing she doesn't understand.

"Master." Tao Zhuo had a bitter face, "Why didn't you perform acupuncture while I was drowsy?"

Shen Feng replied seriously, "You didn't know the pain at that time, so it's so boring for me to tie it."

Almost spat out a mouthful of blood, Tao Zhuo angrily turned his head to the inside of the bed, and stopped talking to Shen Feng.Those purgatory-like days have been survived, and it is not worthwhile to be pissed off by the master.

Pulling out the silver needle in Taozhuo's body, Shen Feng secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the blood stains on it had returned to normal bright red.

"From tonight, take a medicated bath for an hour every day, and then use the ointment I left you to smear your wounds, especially your face. I guarantee you will return to your normal form in half a month."

Tao Zhuoqi hummed and howled, "I was originally human."

Shen Feng covered his lips and snickered, and lightly pushed Tao Zhuo's shoulder, "My dear disciple, don't be angry, let me tell you a shocking secret for Master."

I didn't want to talk to him at first, but I couldn't bear the curiosity in my heart.Tao Zhuo turned his head, but still had a small face.

"What secret?"

"Want to know? Give me a smile first."

Tao Zhuo grinned helplessly, Shen Feng shook his head and said, "I made you laugh, but I didn't make you act like a dog. Why are you drinking your teeth?"

"you……."

Seeing Tao Zhuo was angry again, Shen Feng hurriedly comforted her.

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore." Then he lowered his head and leaned into Tao Zhuo's ear and said, "What I want to tell you is that you didn't say Gu Yan's name while you were asleep, but the general."

Tao Zhuo lowered his eyes, a trace of sadness flashed across.

I love your heart, everyone knows it.It's hard to fathom what you mean to me.

The days of recuperating are pleasant, often sitting outside the door basking in the warm sun, worrying about eating and drinking without being disturbed by anyone, even the general has never come here once.

Shen Feng still had to take care of Cheng Ziyuan, so he only came here every now and then to take a look at Tao Zhuo's injuries.Fortunately, it was only a flesh wound, and it was almost healed if it scabbed over.

Probably to let Tao Zhuo rest, Gu Ansheng also moved to live elsewhere.

At night, the flickering candlelight magnified Tao Zhuo's figure infinitely.

The water mist is filled with oxygen, lingering like a fairyland.Tao Zhuo leaned against the wooden barrel with his head up, the warm water nourished every tiny pore on his skin, and the strong smell of herbs in his nostrils.

The wound is always itchy, but Tao Zhuo dare not scratch or touch it, for fear of leaving scars.The love of beauty does not discriminate between men and women, so Tao Zhuo still has lingering fears when thinking of the despair when the silver hairpin brushed his cheek.

Just as he was thinking wildly, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Gu Yan didn't expect that Tao Zhuo was soaking in the medicated bath with every inch of her body, and she stopped at the door and froze.His gaze inadvertently swept across Tao Zhuo's thin shoulders and delicate collarbone, and an inexplicable restlessness gushed out from his lower abdomen, causing Gu Zhan to squirm his Adam's apple and swallow dry saliva.

Tao Zhuo was also dumbfounded, and subconsciously burrowed into the water until his lower jaw was submerged in the water.

After recovering, Gu Yan hastily turned her back to Tao Zhuo.

"Your master has been busy for the past few days. The special messenger has sent herbs, and I brought them here for you."

Tao Zhuo nodded, thinking that he couldn't see, and let out a low "oh".

Putting the two packs of herbs in her hand on the table, Gu Yan left without saying a word.He just walked to the door and stopped again.

"It hurts, is it better?"

"Yeah." Tao Zhuo lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look at him, and replied softly, "It's almost healed."

"Did you apply the medicine on time?"

"Yes." Tao Zhuo nodded habitually, "It's the back...."

Suddenly stopped, Tao Zhuo stopped talking.In fact, the injury on the back is irrelevant, and I can't see the scars left behind.Talking to him now, it seems like I have some idea.

All was silent, and there was a moment of silence in the room.

"I'll wait outside. Call me when you apply the medicine. Shen Feng said that the ointment he gave should be applied on time, otherwise there will be scars."

The sound of closing the door came to my ears, Tao Zhuo parted her red lips slightly, panting for a chaotic breath.

My heart was pounding like a deer, and it was like a muffled drum beating hard.Painful, chaotic, and joyful.Hope to cover up the disappointment of the past, finally complied with that sentence, the scar is healed and the pain is forgotten.

The bright moon is in the sky, reflecting the shadows of trees.

Gu Yan leaned against the door with her hands folded, her eyelids drooping, and her thick eyelashes reflected a fan-shaped shadow.

With Tao Zhuo, Gu Yan didn't dare to think too much.He didn't know what kind of existence Tao Zhuo was in his heart, but seeing the scars on his face faded, he was faintly relieved.Perhaps, what he cares about is the face similar to that of Zizhi.

After a long time, the door was pushed open again.

Tao Zhuo was wrapped in plain white obscene clothes, his face was flushed, and water dripped from his hair.

"General." Tao Zhuo's voice was very soft, as if afraid of disturbing him, "Come in."

Gu Yan followed behind Tao Zhuo, but felt that his figure was thin, as if he could not bear the wind.

In the past, Tao Zhuo's fleshy face was a bit baby fat, and in addition to the cold weather and thick clothes, he didn't seem to be thin.But now, the clothes are attached to the wet skin, and the lines that reveal are weak and beautiful.

Today is different from the past, and there is always a gap between the two.The obscene clothes slid down to reveal her thin waist and narrow back, Tao Zhuo buried her little face in the quilt in embarrassment.
