Chapter 174: You bandage for me

  The King of Shu was very interested, but also had some worries, "This person you're talking about, won't he be another case of 'the mountain is high and the water is far'?"

  Song Chu smiled and said, "This person is currently near the Wang City. If Your Majesty is interested, you might as well invite him to come and take a look."

  "Really?" The King of Shu had just developed a slight interest in the handsome man and wouldn't let this opportunity slip away.

  Song Chuayi carefully described Minchi's appearance. Minchi was originally born beautiful, and with the added embellishments of the narrative, King Shu's interest became even stronger. He immediately ordered the gathering of 10,000 soldiers from nearby Wangcheng to begin searching.

  So, Song ChuYi kindly reminded him of the general direction.

  The King of Shu has a new goal, and Song Chu'er takes advantage of the opportunity to slip away immediately, saying he's going to Tianjing first to take in the scenery.

  After leaving the Shu King's palace, Song Chuyi went to the post station to pick up his things and then rushed straight to Ji Yu's lodging place.

  This is a small courtyard in the southwest corner of Wang City, where weeds are overgrown, but the only three houses seem to have been newly built in recent years, and they don't look shabby among the weeds.

  Song Chuanyi saw the clothes drying in the courtyard and was sure it was this place, so he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

  In a moment, Ji Yu came out of the house and saw that it was Song Chuyi. He quickened his pace, "Sir, why is your face so pale?"

  As he approached, Ji Yu only saw that Song Chuyi's temples were covered in fine sweat, and hastily took the things from her hand, reaching out to support her.

  Ji Bian and Wei Jiang also came out immediately after, seeing this situation, their faces slightly changed, and they hurriedly walked over quickly.

  "I'm injured, prepare some clean water and help me bandage." Song Chu gave a simple instruction.

  Ji Bian immediately went to fetch water.

  Wei Jiang felt that Song Chu Yi should have a private conversation with Ji Yu, and since he couldn't help much here, he went to help Ji Yan burn water instead.

  Two people entered the house, sat down, and Ji Yu asked, "What happened?"

  "Last night, I was stabbed." Song Chu closed her eyes. Under such severe injuries, responding to the King of Shu in the morning had exhausted all her energy.

  He could see her exhaustion and didn't ask further.

  Half a moment later, Ji Bian carried in two large buckets of water and saw Song Chu closed his eyes to rest his mind, so he put down the water and retreated.

  "I'll go find Wei Jiang to bandage you." Ji Yu stood up and walked out.

  He had just reached the door when he heard a weak voice behind him, Song Chuyi saying, "You come and bandage me."

  "You..." Yu Hui turned around and saw Song Chuyi's calm and peaceful gaze, the words of refusal reaching his lips but swallowed back down.

  Song Chuoyi reached out and untied his belt, taking off his outer robe and throwing it to one side. "Stop dawdling. The affairs between men and women are not worth my life. If you're unwilling, go get Tan Ran to come over. I don't believe anyone else."

  Ji Yu looked at her undergarment which had been stained with a large patch of blood, slightly furrowed his brow, and walked to her back to kneel down.

  The undergarment fell off, and inside was a mess of bandages wrapped around the wound. Ji Yu used his sword to cut open the bandages, but some had already stuck to the wound. They couldn't be pulled off, and most of the wound hadn't scabbed over yet. Some small parts had scabbed over but cracked open again. The sight was unbearable.

  She wet the cloth with water to remove the stuck feathers, knowing it would hurt, so she spoke to divert her attention. "Don't you know that you're different from others? With so many scars on your body, what will you do in the future?"

  What he meant by "outsiders" was other men, of course. As soon as Song heard this, she couldn't help but laugh and say, "What's the point of being so delicate and pampered? Relying on your looks to make a living will only lead to a bad ending."

  "Shh... be gentle." Song Chu gritted his teeth, feeling Ji Yu's strength ease up. He continued, "Besides, even with this face of mine, I still can't fill my stomach."

  "Hmm." Ji Yu let out a soft hum.

  "At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, she turned her head and looked at him, 'I'm saying you have no humanity, I've been hurt like this, can't you comfort me?'"

  "You look okay." said Jiyu Dao.

  Song Chu pouted. "Is that supposed to be comforting?"

  "Did I say you're a rare talent? Do you believe me?" Ji Yu said, quickly tearing off a piece of cloth stuck to the wound, fresh blood slowly trickling down his back.

  But Song Chu didn't feel particularly painful, just felt itchy when sliding down his back.

  The sunset shines through the window and falls on Song Chuyi's body.

  She wasn't a beauty, but her skin was smooth as jade, and after years of not seeing the sun, it was much whiter than her face, contrasting with the fresh blood, blending into a peculiar beauty in the sunset.

  Song Chuyi had never thought that she was ugly, at least her facial features were very regular, and even when viewed separately, each one was excellent, it's just that for some reason, when combined together, they looked ordinary. Moreover, she was not lazy or casual in her daily life, but rather confident and elegant like a scholar, without any gentle virtues, as a woman, she was indeed a complete failure.

  However, he didn't dislike such a woman at all, but rather admired and respected her more. The longer they were in contact, the more precious qualities he discovered in her.

  "There's something I probably shouldn't ask, but I'm really curious." Ji Yu wiped her back clean and applied medicine while asking.

  "Hmm?" Song Chu nodded for him to continue speaking.

  Ji Yu listened carefully and made sure there was no one outside, then asked, "Have you ever thought about men?"

  "Alas!" Song Chu smacked his lips and said, "Food, sex, and desire are all natural. Even saints can't help but have desires, how can I be without them?"

  However, Song Chu has always been very measured in this regard. For example, even if she is interested in Ying Ji, it only stops at "watching". Although she was touched by Ji Yu's chest, she would not go further. Some people should maintain a good relationship between monarch and minister, and some should not take a step beyond the bounds of brotherhood. As for Zhao Yi Lou...

  Song Chu suddenly thought of him for a long time. That eccentric child also didn't know why he suddenly left without saying goodbye.

  "Alright." Ji Yu fetched a clean blouse from inside the house and handed it to her.

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, one's body was wrapped up so that only the shoulders could be seen, and there was nothing to be ashamed of.

  "Sir, you rest well, I'll go cook." Ji Yu got up and picked up the bloody rag, making the bed for Song Chu.

  After a day of running around, Song Chuyi was exhausted and fell asleep on the bed after lying down for a while.

  She slept soundly in her chamber, while the royal city was thrown into a state of utter chaos.

  An army of ten thousand men and horses set out, the people in the royal city thought it was going to war again, and they all closed their doors and didn't dare to come out. Who would have thought that it was just to find a handsome man?

  All the ministers deeply understood the temperament of the King of Shu and knew that it was useless to persuade him, so they instigated the queen to speak.

  Unfortunately, good advice fell on deaf ears and didn't shake the king of Shu's heart at all. The king of Shu's logic was this: if you don't have the ability to produce a peerless beauty, then just do your job honestly and don't jump out and point fingers.
