Pathological Trapping - Chap 30
He felt that he was in endless pain and darkness.
come down!
There is no end.
Can’t reach the bottom.
He began to cry quietly.
He didn’t dare cry loudly, for fear of attracting the servants in the palace and attracting Mu Jian’s attention.
He missed home and wanted to go back home.
When Li Dezhuang had cried enough and was tired, he raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, opened the door and asked the servants to bring in hot water. He sat in the hot water, numbly feeling the hot water soothing his body.
In the curling hot air.
There were clear and hot tears flowing down his eyes.
He looked like a flower that had fallen on the ground, crushed by someone and covered in mud. His fragile, broken, and thin appearance made him look as if he would not be able to hold on any second and would die.
”Guard Li, someone is looking for you outside, you…”
Mu Jian’s voice stopped abruptly.
He was obviously shocked by the scene before him.
Li Dezhuang leaned against the edge of the tub, with shocking scars on his exposed shoulders and neck. There were also faint traces of blood on the water surface, which sank into the water and disappeared.
He was like a frightened bird, feeling that everyone in this world could be the hunter who hid his gun.
Li Dezhuang hid in the water and shouted, “Get out!”
The young man, contrary to his usual behavior, did not obey. He walked quickly forward and lay down beside the bucket, with uncontrollable anger on his face.
”Who beat you up? Who beat you up like this?!”
”None of your business!”
Li Dezhuang slapped the water surface.
The splashing water soaked Mu Jian thoroughly.
”Get out! Get out of here!”
He couldn’t adjust his mentality, and felt that his head was about to split apart. He had become a madman, twisted, and crazy. Like a balloon stretched to its limit. If you poked it lightly, it would burst with a snap!
The boy was not scared away by his shouting.
Water splashed everywhere.
He was held.
The boy leaned in and whispered in his ear, “I won’t leave. If I leave, who will hold you?”
The balloon, which was stretched to its limit, suddenly couldn’t hold on any longer and the air hole that was squeezed tightly was released.
All his emotions came out in a rush. He slowly calmed down, like a machine on the verge of losing control, but someone found the right way to operate it and it stabilized.
”Can I carry you out? The water isn’t even hot anymore.”
Li Dezhuang blinked slowly.
When the long eyelashes blink, they look like fluttering butterflies.
He slowly raised his eyes and looked at Mu Jian who was so close to him. For a moment, he actually felt that it was ridiculous that he had been afraid of Mu Jian for so long. There were many evil people with black hearts in this world.
Mu Jian carried him out, wrapped him in a huge towel, and slowly wiped the water droplets on his face with his sleeves.
After wiping it clean, he went to find some medicine and applied it slowly and gently on the bruises on his wrists, arms, and knees.
Use your fingertips to spread the white ointment little by little, and finally let it blend into the skin.
Li Dezhuang looked at him.
”You don’t ask?”
”No need to ask. When Guard Li wants to tell me, he will tell me.”
Mu Jian put the ointment down, slowly raised his hand, placed it on the side of his neck, and rubbed it slowly with the tip of his thumb, watching intently.
——This kind of concentration gave Li Dezhuang a momentary illusion——
——He was the one who left the mark, and he was looking at his spoils.
But the next second.
Mu Jian said, “It looks like blood stasis. There is an ointment that can promote blood circulation and dissolve blood stasis. It should be fine after applying it. But for injuries in other places, you still need to use healing medicine.”
”Um.”
He is really crazy.
Everyone is a criminal.
Because of the original work, I always have prejudice against Mu Jian.
Li Dezhuang lowered his head and saw Mu Jian scooping up some ointment and applying it on his body. Although he couldn’t see his face and didn’t know his expression, his movements were serious and meticulous.
“Your Highness…”
”Um?”
”Thank you.”
Mu Jian paused for a moment, holding Li Dezhuang’s hand, and forcibly suppressed the urge to kiss him.
The bright red tongue licked the lips where Li Dezhuang couldn’t see, and raised a very light, faint smile.
He raised his head.
The smile on her face expanded infinitely, bright and beautiful, like an innocent child.
”Why are you being so polite to me, Guard Li? You know I care about you the most.”
Chapter 24 His Highness is Getting Married
”Your Highness, this is something that the Imperial Concubine asked me to marry to Your Highness. After you have read it, remember to burn it.”
”knew.”
The guard who delivered the message stole a glance at Mu Jian.
This inconspicuous Ninth Prince has a handsome face and a pair of dark eyes that are like a piece of frozen ice.
He asked, “Anything else?”
”That’s all. I’ll take my leave.”
Mu Jian squeezed the envelope in his hand, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, making him look unapproachable.
But as soon as he turned around and pushed open the door behind him, the coldness on his face disappeared, replaced by a blooming smile.
Li Dezhuang was leaning against the head of the bed reading a book. When he saw him come in, he sat down inside.
Mu Jian walked over quickly, “Guard Li, I was gone for a while, do you blame me?”
Li Dezhuang’s face turned a little red.
Ever since he was raped by some jerk in a brothel last time, he has been a bit TPSD. He didn’t like interacting with strangers in the first place, and now he hates it even more.
One time he had a nightmare, dreaming of the scene in the brothel that night, and he was so scared that he cried out the name of the only person who knew the secret. Before he woke up, he was hugged by Mu Jian.
From then on, Mu Jian often stayed by his side, even sleeping together, saying that he was afraid that he would have nightmares again.
”Your Highness, what you said is a bit strange. Why should I blame Your Highness?”
Mu Jian answered fluently, “Blame me for being gone for so long, blame me for not accompanying you, and then secretly hiding away and crying.”
