"Ugh..." Pei Jue’s pupils contracted as he suddenly pressed down on her back, his arms wrapped tightly around her, and he gritted his teeth with strained breaths as he lifted her slightly upwards.
"Madwoman!"
—
Jieqiu Mountain, Northern Yong military camp.
The soldiers were training intensely, sweating profusely.
Bare-chested, they exchanged crude jokes as their collective roars thundered during the vigorous exercises.
"Great General!"
Seeing Pei Jue enfolding a drenched woman in his cloak, holding her in his arms as if carrying a precious treasure straight to the Central Military Tent, the soldiers’ eyelids twitched in shock as they all turned to look as if they saw sothing unbelievable.
Pei Jue: "What are you looking at? Continue your drills."
"Yes, sir!" the crowd responded in unison.
Pei Jue then instructed Zuo Zhong, "Have Puyang Jiu report to my tent!"
"At once." Zuo Zhong acknowledged and left.
A group of generals and soldiers followed closely, circling around him excitedly.
"Left Guard, who is that young lady?"
"Right, right, what enchantress dares to move the Great General’s heart in spring?"
A burst of laughter rose, further fueling their excitent.
They didn’t know what had happened, but curiosity shone in their eyes as goose bumps of interest erged on their skin.
"Are you courting death, lad?"
Zuo Zhong wore a complicated expression.
Seeing Shi’er Niang attempting suicide by jumping into the river had terrified everyone. Even soone as composed as the General changed his complexion and without saying a word, he jumped into the river to save her.
Instead, Crown Prince Chunyu, who kept proclaiming that he would take Shi’er Niang back to make her his Crown Princess, saw the General diving into the water for the rescue and actually added insult to injury, rushing forward to punch the General in the back...
So, the General was saving Shi’er Niang with injuries of his own.
Zuo Zhong had been following the General for a long ti and had never seen him behave like this toward another person.
Their struggle in the river was barely visible under the dim night light, but Zuo Zhong, having followed the General for so long, could discern the General’s emotions from the tiniest details.
That young lady must have really stirred the General.
At the mont the General picked up his cloak to wrap the lady, Zuo Zhong personally witnessed that even the typically calm and restrained General had pitched a tent...
But before returning, the General had sealed his lips.
It concerned Shi’er Niang’s reputation after all. How could it be spread?
Zuo Zhong had no choice but to repeatedly bow and beg for rcy.
"Nothing to disclose, brothers, nothing to disclose."
"If you don’t want to suffer a military beating, stop prying into the General’s private matters."

When Puyang Jiu arrived with the dicine box, the effects of Feng Yun’s dicine had beco extrely severe, her face looking as though it had been roasted over a furnace, her forehead covered with fine sweat, and her lips as red and luscious as if they were about to drip, emitting faint whimpers that were a man’s death knell.
"This is a fierce dicine!" Puyang Jiu exclaid in shock, his eyes wide, "If not relieved, it can kill..."
After saying that, he looked aningfully at Pei Jue.
"This must be fate, Wangzhi, harmonious with your yang-excessive condition. Why not..."
Pei Jue’s face was cold. "Shut up!"
"Yes, yes, I’m preparing the dicine, preparing the dicine."
Puyang Jiu knew his temperant, felt sorry for him, and sighed as he sat down, murmuring discontentedly, "Our General Pei is a gentleman, disdains villainous acts, and would never take advantage of soone in a vulnerable state..."
Pei Jue remained silent, his calm face betraying no emotion.
Even Puyang Jiu could hardly imagine how the General had controlled the blaze within him, suppressing his desires on the verge of losing control.
"How is it?" Pei Jue’s gaze was calm as he looked at Feng Yun’s soft, pale cheeks, which had a moist luster like suet jade, with two rows of eyelashes trembling helplessly and pitifully.
She was bewitching enough to lead a man to his doom.
He took another long look at Puyang Jiu.
Puyang Jiu sat up primly, very much aware of the value of his own life.
He acted as if he couldn’t see the stunning view before him and sighed with feigned ignorance, "Tiger and Wolf dicine, Tiger and Wolf dicine, the one who administered it is truly malicious. Had it not been for years of treating Wangzhi and the experience I’ve accumulated, along with so success, I’m afraid this young lady would have been ruined."
In other words...
Feng Yun had been drugged like this by soone else.
Pei Jue, on the other hand, often had to endure similar tornt.
Puyang Jiu inquired carefully: "Who could be so heartless as to do this to such a tender young lady? Chunyu Yan?"
Pei Jue glared coldly, "Get to the point."
Puyang Jiu nodded, his eyes drifting sideways before exaggeratedly sighing again.
"The dosage was heavy, even with my tily treatnt, I fear it will damage her essence and harm her body..."
Pei Jue swallowed hard, "What will happen?"
Puyang Jiu’s face beca somber, speaking more seriously than before.
"This young lady, in the future, will likely find it difficult to conceive, unable to beco a mother."
