Tong Xiaoye has been in a coma, unable to feel Xuan Jinmo's cold and cruel eyes. There is no care in this gaze, only planning and indifference. In fact, she should not have a high fever all the time. Wumengguo is good at using medicine, so she caught the cold
It's just a small problem.
Keeping the fever high like this will definitely cause damage to her body.
Xuan Jinmo thought coldly: This can only be blamed on her own bad luck. Every time she hears words she shouldn't hear and sees things she shouldn't see.
The carriage was bumpy and it was very cold outside. Although the curtains were hung down, the wind still blew in through the gaps in the bumps. Tong Xiaoye's hair was not tied up. At this time, some hair strands were blown by the wind and brushed her hair.
Cheeks and Xuan Jinmo’s hands.
She seemed to be a little afraid of the cold, so she unconsciously leaned against Xuan Jinmo's chest and hid herself in the thick cloak. Her body was still trembling slightly and her hands were very hot.
Tong Xiaoye's left hand hangs softly on her side, and the red silk thread is quietly tied around her wrist. The bright color and simple knotting fall into Xuan Jinmo's eyes, which is a bit ironic.
Fifteen years old. From the age of fifteen, he has known how to please women and how to make women sacrifice their lives for him. His uncle said that the best weapon in the world is a woman's heart. If you win a woman's heart, you can win her heart.
Won half of the world.
My head hurts and feels heavy.
Tong Xiaoye reluctantly opened her eyes and smelled a cool smell in the air, mixed with the warm fragrance of medicine, and a strange but gentle voice: "Miss Tong, you're awake."
"Where is this?" Tong Xiaoye asked softly, her voice was a little hoarse, her throat was sore, and it hurt to frown even after swallowing a mouthful of saliva, "Are you——?"
"This is Lord Xuan's mansion. My name is Mingyue. Lord Xuan asked me to come here to serve the girl." She was a woman of about seventeen or eighteen years old. She was very beautiful and charming, and her eyes were full of smiles.
Tong Xiaoye was a little confused. She stared at Mingyue for a while, and then looked around. She found a very clean room with not many things, but it was very elegant.
"Master Xuan has official duties and is not here at this time. However, Master Xuan repeatedly told him when he left that he must serve him carefully and don't neglect anything." Mingyue said gently. Although she is a slave, she is not timid.
Tong Xiaoye smiled reluctantly and closed her eyes again. Her head hurt so much that she didn't want to think about anything or face anything. She didn't even want to pay attention to it. How could she get from the palace to Xuan Jinmo's mansion so well?
Mingyue didn't speak anymore, and stood quietly in front of the bed, looking at Tong Xiaoye who was a little pale but still beautiful even though she had been sick for many days, her eyes were a little complicated.
This girl will be Xuan Jinmo's wife in a few years.
The twilight outside the window was getting darker and darker. Tong Xiaoye on the bed kept sleeping and waking up. He had taken medicine but could not eat anything. He also vomited most of the medicine after taking it. His stomach seemed to be on fire and he felt extremely uncomfortable. Therefore,
Even when he was asleep, his brows were slightly furrowed, making him look pitiful.
"Has it always been like this?" Xuan Jinmo sat at the table and asked calmly.
Mingyue nodded and said softly: "My body is very weak now. I'm afraid the medicine was a bit harsh at that time, so I won't be able to recover for a while."
Xuan Jin said indifferently: "I haven't been together for a while, why is she still so soft-hearted? If she tells what she knows, it will probably be me who you have to sympathize with."
Mingyue said sadly: "She is also your future wife after all. How dare Mingyue not be cautious."
Xuan Jinmo looked at Ming Yue coldly and said stiffly: "If you feel aggrieved, you can leave here. I won't force you. I told you not to use affection for me. If your body needs it, I will give it to you. If you want a word of love,
, No! She is just a chess piece, you just need to act like a slave, nothing else has anything to do with you."
Mingyue lowered her head, hiding a sigh in her heart and not daring to say more.
"That's all, come and have a drink with me." Xuan Jinmo said calmly.
Mingyue walked over quietly, sat down, picked up the wine glass, and smelled the aroma of the wine. It was the best wine from the kiln, with a mellow aroma in the mouth. "Do you really like her?"
Still couldn't help but ask this question, knowing that Xuan Jinmo would never belong to her in this life.
From the beginning, his adoptive mother Yu Meiniang told him very clearly: "You serve Xuan Jinmo, you are a slave. What you dedicate is only your body, not your feelings. If you become emotional, you will lose your stupidity."
The opportunity to be by his side. You must keep in mind that you are just a loyal slave whom Xuan Jinmo’s uncle asked me to train. You have the warmest body, the most loyal heart, and the clearest identity."
When she looked at her adoptive mother innocently with her eyes open, she said clearly: "You have to remember, you can't be emotional, and Xuan Jinmo won't be emotional either. You are not his choice, and he will not fall in love with anyone.
, but once you fall in love, it will be forever, but it will never have anything to do with you!"
Her adoptive mother's voice still rang in her ears, but she could never accept it. Although she understood that her adoptive mother's words were right, after being with her for so long, he didn't even have any attachment to her body. It was just a kind of catharsis.
A simple need.
Xuan Jinmo looked at Mingyue coldly, his eyes indifferent and ruthless.
"She is the first woman you have brought back to your house in person." Mingyue knew she shouldn't say it, but she couldn't control her mouth and the words just blurted out.
"She's still a child." Xuan Jinmo said indifferently, "Besides, it's not your turn to be jealous! Mingyue, remember, if she does anything wrong, your life will not be enough to compensate!"
Mingyue lowered her head and swallowed the wine in the glass with tears. The wine was obviously mellow, but now it was extremely bitter in the mouth. The wine was obviously warm, but it was cold to the heart.
It was past midnight, and it was getting colder and colder outside. The rain seemed to have been falling, and no sound could be heard in the wind, except for the rustling of leaves.
Xuan Jinmo left the study and walked along the corridor to the room where Tong Xiaoye was resting. Mingyue was sitting at the table, resting her chin on her hands and taking a nap. The room was very quiet. Tong Xiaoye on the bed was also resting with her eyes closed, her brows slightly furrowed and she was breathing.
to stabilize.
"Master." Mingyue, who was resting, heard the sound of someone pushing the door and immediately straightened up. When she saw it was Xuan Jinmo, she immediately stood up and said hello respectfully. As long as she is not facing Xuan Jinmo alone, the rules are not allowed.
Half wrong.
"It's okay, you can go and have a rest." Xuan Jinmo's voice was also very calm, not as cold and harsh as before, but it sounded like the master's attitude towards his slave, "I'll stay here for a while, and I'll call you if I need anything.
"
Mingyue didn't speak, but slowly retreated. Her eyes were lowered, and she couldn't tell what she was thinking. The door was gently closed by her. Although her footsteps were slow, they were slowly getting further away.
