Su Yunling stood beside the steaming bathtub, rubbing the back of the man in the tub.

Xiao Ji Chen placed one hand on his bent knee, the corners of his lips slightly curved in a comfortable smile.

"Is it okay? If you rub it any further, the skin will break." Su Yunling looked at his broad and strong back which had turned red after being rubbed.

"Well, how about you take off your clothes and come in, and I'll rub it for you?" Xiao Ji Chen said seriously.

In Su Yunling's mind, an image of two monkeys catching lice for each other suddenly popped up.

"No, I'm afraid of the cold."

"Are you afraid of the cold or of me?"

Xiao Ji Chen stretched out his hand and grabbed her smooth and delicate wrist on her shoulder.

The two people's eyes met through the hazy mist, creating a hint of ambiguity.

Su Yunling stood tall, and out of the corner of his eye he saw the water droplets formed by the rising mist covering his sturdy chest.

After gathering together, the beads slid down along the well-defined muscle lines and flowed into the bathtub.

The picture of a handsome man bathing made her swallow her saliva instinctively.

[I'm not afraid of you, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself and scare you away.]

"Puchi——" Xiao Ji Chen suddenly laughed softly.

Su Yunling saw that he had his head down, his shoulders were shaking from laughing, and he frowned with a look of question marks on his face.

While she was dazed, Xiao Ji Chen stood up from the bathtub, turned around and held her in his wet arms. He held the back of her head with one hand and lowered his head to press his lips hard against hers.

She opened her eyes, which were blurred by the mist, and softened little by little under his passionate and deep kiss.

In the end, he pestered me into taking a bath together.

It rained heavily all night and didn't stop until dawn.

The chrysanthemums in the yard were scattered by the rain, and the flowers were wrapped in water droplets, showing their tenacious beauty.

She had the peony flowers moved under the eaves in advance, so they were not destroyed. Now they are blooming wildly in the morning sun.

When Su Yunling got up, Xiao Jichen was no longer around. She selected the largest wooden box from the space and ordered people to carry it to Liu's Mansion.

She wanted to see if Yin Nixia could fill the box even if she emptied the entire treasury.

Linglan went to the kitchen to bring breakfast. She had just picked up a bowl of bird's nest porridge and hadn't taken two sips when several of Xiao Jichen's concubines came to greet her.

There are five women in total, including Li Rongrong. Judging from their appearance alone, one has to say that Emperor Jing Zhao put a lot of thought into them.

Several of them are beautiful, each with their own unique qualities. She must be thinking that there will always be one who can impress Xiao Jichen.

What a pity. According to Su Yunling's understanding, Xiao Jichen is made up of ten pounds of flesh, eight pounds of rebellious bones, and two pounds of revenge.

He instinctively disliked the women sent by Emperor Jing Zhao, and no matter how hard they tried, they were unable to climb onto his bed.

Emperor Jing Zhao could force people in, but he could not force them to consummate the marriage.

Several women bowed to Su Yunling, the legal wife, in a proper manner, and Su Yunling naturally also served the legal wife.

As long as they behaved themselves and didn't cause trouble, she was willing to treat them with courtesy and even give them appropriate rewards.

Among the few people, two looked honest and decent, and two were smart-aleck people who used a talkative but brainless guy as a gun.

The newly joined Li Rongrong is one of the two smart-alecks. Apparently, she has used her status as a concubine to suppress several minor concubines and gained a great sense of superiority from it.

So much so that there was a hint of obvious pride in her eyes when she looked at Su Yunling.

"Sister, you and I have come all the way to Yanbei, so we must support each other. As women, we all know that if we want to survive in this mansion, we can only rely on the love of our husbands."

After she finished speaking, she asked her maid to hand her a fine jade pear blossom hairpin.

Judging from its appearance, it is undoubtedly a tribute, probably a reward from the emperor.

Linglan looked at Su Yunling's eyes and didn't take it.

Su Yunling didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She was asked to "sell" Xiao Jichen for such a small favor!

An outrageous picture suddenly popped up in her mind. She accepted bribes from several concubines and made a fortune by selling her body to Xiao Jichen.

What a sin, what a sin, luckily she is not short of money now.

After getting rid of those messy thoughts, she began to talk nonsense seriously:

"If you want to gain the favor of the prince, you have to find a way to win his heart, instead of coming to me. Otherwise, even if I kidnap someone for you, I won't be able to keep him."

After speaking a few more official words, she sent them away.

Li Rongrong was so angry that she threw her handkerchief. Su Yunling was beautiful and capable, how could she compete with her?

When that person first found her, her purpose was to create a rift between Xiao Ji Chen and Su Yunling.

But when she saw Xiao Jichen for the first time, she was really moved.

She now wanted him and his heart very badly.

But fortunately, that person died, and the initial promise of not harming Su Yunling and only taking Xiao Jichen away was naturally invalidated.

If Su Yunling lost that face, would Xiao Jichen still like her?

A bold plan began to brew in her mind...

Su Yunling carried her medicine box and went to Xiao Mu's courtyard with Princess Su. Xiao Mu was sitting at the desk by the window, calculating some important military accounts.

The three father and sons have clear division of labor. Prince Su is in control of the overall situation, Xiao Jichen is in charge of external affairs, and Xiao Mu is in charge of internal affairs.

Seeing his mother and sister-in-law coming, he quickly turned his wheelchair around to greet them.

Su Yunling went straight to the point and stated his purpose.

However, Xiao Mu seemed to feel something was wrong. How could he let his sister-in-law touch his body when his elder brother was not around?

Su Yunling looked at his red ears and said bluntly, "In front of the doctor, regardless of gender, take off your hakama and lie down without moving."

Xiao Mu'ergen burst into anger, "Why do you want to take off your hakama?"

He looked at Princess Su for help, but Princess Su was too busy caring about other things as she wanted her son to stand up.

"How about mother help you take it off?"

Xiao Mu looked at the room full of women and felt as desperate as Tang Monk who mistakenly entered the Spider Cave.

But pants are his bottom line and they must not be taken off.

Su Yunling had no choice but to let him expose his entire legs from two inches above the knees.

Xiao Muru was pardoned and cut off his hakama legs with a knife, keeping the bottom line at three inches.

Su Yunling first checked his legs. Because he had not used strength for a long time, his muscles had obviously atrophied. Although he did not feel pain, he often felt numb.

She pulled out her acupuncture kit and began to needle his legs.

Although Xiao Mu didn't feel any pain, he lowered his eyes and watched Su Yunling's hands moving back and forth on the acupuncture points on his legs. His whole body was tense and his nerves were tense.

Su Yunling's beautiful profile became even more attractive with her seriousness, and Xiao Mu was stunned for a moment.

When he came to his senses, he pinched himself hard.

I inexplicably developed a sense of guilt, and next time I must let my eldest brother come along no matter what.

After Su Yunling finished the acupuncture, she ordered her subordinates to prepare the medicinal bath according to her requirements, and asked Xiao Mu to soak in it for half an hour before going to bed every day.

Then she gave him a bottle of brown pills and told him to take two in the morning and two in the evening.

"Lingling, can Ziqian still stand up with this leg?" Princess Su hid her anxiety and asked cautiously but full of hope.

Although Xiao Mu had no hope, he was listening quietly.

Su Yunling smiled, "At least one month."

Princess Su was overjoyed, "You mean..."

"Princess, Madam Yin is here." A maid with a slap mark on her face ran in hurriedly.

Su Yunling had just put away the medicine box when she heard Yin Nixia's angry shout from outside the courtyard:

"Su Yunling, get out of here. Do you think you can live well if you ruin my peaceful life? Bah, dream on!"
