Chapter 73 The reenactment of the scene (2)
“No, this little one doesn’t dare!” The two hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Chen Hui glanced at the two soldiers and whispered to Li Youde, “Lord, forget it. You will be devalued if you bother with people like them.”
Li Youde frowned when he turned his head to look at her and asked, “Did you hear what kind of things they were saying? Don’t you feel disgusted?”
“No…,” Chen Hui recalled what the two said and shook her head. According to her standard, they hadn’t had the time to say anything.
Looking at Chen Hui’s calm appearance, Li Youde’s anger that had just been aroused by these two people dissipated easily. He looked coldly at the two people and said, “If I heard any rumors in the future, I will hold you two responsible!”
The two were dumbstruck and understood that their life had been saved. They hurriedly kowtowed gratefully, “Thanking lord for the grace of not killing!”
Li Youde ignored the two of them and looked at Chen Hui once, “Are you done?”
“Done,” Chen Hui nodded.
Li Youde turned around and walked forward. After walking a few steps, he asked in a low voice, “Does your belly feel better?”
“Yes, it doesn’t hurt so much anymore. Thank you, lord, for earlier,” Chen Hui thanked in a low voice with a brisk smile at the end.
Li Youde gave a hum, feeling more relieved.
The marching continued after lunch. Chen Hui slept for a moment while leaning against the wall. However, after a while, the pain in her abdomen became unbearable. She vaguely heard Li Youde calling her name. She didn’t resist and touched while following his hand. Before Li Youde could put her in the posture of this morning again, she sat on his lap and put her arm around his neck. She asked him softly, “Lord…if this Lady Chen feels so painful for a moment, can this Lady Chen borrow your shoulder?”
This was simply the reacting of the scene when Chen Hui applied medication for Li Youde. It was the same posture except that Li Youde bit Chen Hui last time. However, it was Chen Hui who wanted to bite Li Youde this time.
How could Li Youde think that she would make such a request? He was stunned for a moment.
Chen Hui breathed in his ear like an orchid. Her delicate and weak voice said, “Lord…okay?”
Li Youde almost immediately got goosebumps all over his body and the tingling sensation that was like feathers scratching his heart rose from the bottom of his heart and gradually spread to his body. His breathing stopped. Only after a few seconds did he say, “…Okay.” He paused and added, “Be gentle.”
“Alright,” Chen Hui chuckled softly in his ear and said softly, “Lord, you are the best.”
For a moment, Li Youde felt that he was willing to be bitten by her.
Because Chen Hui was holding Li Youde, he could only hold her waist with one hand and gently rub her belly with the other at this moment.
Chen Hui closed her eyes and enjoyed Li Youde’s service. The pain in her abdomen seemed so light that it was almost imperceptible.
It was unknown how long after, the carriage suddenly. Li Youde frowned. Just as he was about to ask what was going on, he heard Ah Da say in a low voice outside, “Lord, deputy general Gong came and said that it is an important matter.”
Chen Hui was originally a bit daze and would perhaps fall asleep at any time. When the carriage stopped, she woke up and heard that it was an important matter. She wanted to get up but was pressed back by the hand wrapped around her waist.
She looked sideways at Li Youde, but he looked at the door of the carriage and raised his voice slightly, “Speak.”
“Lord Li, sir Lang received a battle report from the front-line, saying that the movements of the Xi tribe suddenly became more frequent. From now on, we will begin to march in a hurry,” Deputy general Gong said.
Chen Hui heard that it was the senior general who loved to flatter Li Youde before.
“How to be in a hurry?” Li Youde frowned.
Deputy general Gong said, “Presumably, we won’t be able to camp and rest tonight.”
Li Youde was silent for a few seconds before he said, “Then, you should go first. I and my people will follow behind.”
Chen Hui didn’t know whether it was because Li Youde had taken her into consideration. She felt a lot better now and was naturally unwilling to delay the marching speed of the army. After all, she was said to attend Li Youde. Now, not only didn’t she attend Li Youde, she held him back. This absolutely won’t do.
“Lord, this may not be so good,” Chen Hui whispered, “You are the supervisor of the army now. If you can’t advance and retreat with the army, you won’t be able to justify yourself in front of the emperor afterwards. This Lady Chen is almost fine.”
As she spoke, she used a bit of strength to get off Li Youde’s lap and sit aside.
“Lord Li, this…presumably,” Deputy general Gong was also prepared that Li Youde would make this choice and persuaded, “If some little villains thought that it was because lord is timid to fight a war and spread this, presumably, it would be harmful to lord’s reputation.”
It was unknown whether Li Youde listened to the advice of deputy general Gong. He looked at Chen Hui. Seeing that her complexion indeed seemed much better and she was more energetic, he said in a low voice, “Are you really feeling better? If I agree with him, even if you shout to stop at night, you won’t be able to.”
Chen Hui blinked and nodded, “This Lady Chen really feels better.”
Hear what he was saying, just like the male protagonist of Xiao Huangwen’s Seven Times a Night. What shout to stop and won’t be able to? What could he do?!
Li Youde raised his voice and said to the outside, “Alright, deputy general Gong. You don’t have to persuade anymore. I will go with you.”
Deputy general Gong didn’t expect that it was so easy to persuade Li Youde today. He was stunned for a moment and then said with joy, “Yes, lord. Then, this general will go back and report to sir Lang!”
After deputy general Gong left, Chen Hui looked at the outside secretly. The sky was getting darker, but the speed of the carriage gradually increased with the speed of the army. Because of the fast speed, the jolts along the way became stronger. Chen Hui was worried that her body wouldn’t be able to live up to it, but she was relieved after a moment. Probably, the most uncomfortable days of the period have passed. She estimated that the pain wouldn’t be so painful in the following days. Fortunately, her period was not long. It would be over in a day or four.
The rapid marching of the army shortened the original fifteen-day journey to ten days. Among these days, Li Youde still found an opportunity to take her to an inn in a nearby town to do a bit of grooming that the two wouldn’t be in a too sorry state when they reached the destination.
When Chen Hui opened the door of the carriage curiously and looked out, a towering ancient city gate was waiting for her like a small mountain.
