"Much better." Hua Ruge nodded.
"Lie down, let me massage for you." Tuoba Rui stretched out his legs, indicating her to lie down.
"No need, it'll be fine in a moment." Hua Ruge was very guilty, and even spoke in a low voice.
Tuoba Rui patted her head and said, "Be good."
"Hm."
Hua Ruge could only lie down obediently as he rubbed her temples with his slender hands.
Hua Ruge was so comfortable that he squinted his eyes.
"Close your eyes. You'll feel better in a moment." Tuoba Rui comforted her softly.
This was the first time Hua Ruge experienced a feeling of sickness and happiness, and the corner of his lips couldn't help but curl up.
She closed her eyes, and images flashed through her mind. She hurriedly opened her eyes and asked: "Did I push Mu Zixi into the pond yesterday?"
"What do you think?" Tuoba Rui's voice carried a bit of pampering.
"I don't remember clearly. It seems like a dream, but it also seems like it isn't." Hua Ruge thought for a while, then asked: "Is there such a thing?"
"Yes." Tuoba Rui answered calmly.
Hua Ruge slapped his forehead and said, "Truly, drinking too much is too much of a mistake. The Cang Lan's messenger must have come to find you."
"Yes."
Hua Ruge asked guiltily: "What did he say?"
"Said he was going to punish you." Tuoba Rui said honestly.
Hua Ruge's face turned bitter: "Logically speaking, I shouldn't have done that during the negotiation period, but I'm drunk, so my apology should be able to resolve the problem."
Tuoba Rui heard and said disdainfully, "They are not worthy enough to listen to your apology."
"Didn't I say that I was afraid that the matter would get out of hand?" Hua Ruge said, with her personality, if it were not for the peace talks between the two countries, she would not have lowered her head.
"So what if it's big? With me here, what are you afraid of?" Tuoba Rui said directly.
Hearing his tone, Hua Ruge had a kind of bad premonition. She looked at him and asked: "Have you already dealt with this matter?"
"Yes, they were all chased away by me. I warned them that they wouldn't be able to pay within three days, so we had to face off against each other." Tuoba Rui calmly replied as he rubbed her temples without stopping.
"What?" Hua Ruge sat up from the shock, his face full of disbelief.
Tuoba Rui frowned: "You haven't recovered from your headache, you are not allowed to move around."
"Previously, didn't you fear that we would be in danger if you force our Cang Lan to join them?" Hua Ruge asked anxiously.
Tuoba Rui grabbed her back and pressed her onto his leg, massaging her while he spoke, "The war has been going on for so long, both the Da Yu and national power have been greatly damaged. Even if we surrender now, we don't have any more troops to attack Dazhou."
"But we can't just casually form enmity with each other. What if they start fighting?" Hua Ruge's expression was very anxious.
Tuoba Rui looked at her, and said with an extremely serious expression: "I can fight with them, and I can kill them, but I can't let them criticize you, nor can I say a single word."
Hua Ruge was stunned.
"Don't be touched. Close your eyes. If it really hurts, then sleep a little longer. I'll call you when breakfast is ready." Tuoba Rui said as he continued to help her massage.
Hua Ruge felt even more guilty, and couldn't help but confess: "I actually didn't feel any pain, I only pretended to be when I was afraid that you would scold me."
She closed her eyes and waited for the storm to come.
But she did not hear him, she only felt himself being dragged from her lap and thrown aside.
Hua Ruge's heart was ice-cold. He must be angry.
He treated her so well and lied to her, how could he not be angry?
She was also very regretful and secretly determined that she would drink less the next time she drank.
She was swearing to herself as she listened to the sounds around her, but it was quiet, as if he hadn't moved at all.
Hua Ruge couldn't help but curiously open his eyes, but the moment he opened his eyes, he saw Tuoba Rui's face enlarged, and then, his lips were sealed by him as he continuously tossed and turned them deep.
Contrary to her imagination, the kiss was not punitive, but gentle and lingering, as if he wanted to show it to her.
Hua Ruge was gradually brought in by him to also close his eyes, as he was immersed in his boundless gentleness.
It was only after a long time that Tuoba Rui finally let go of her. His lovable gaze fixed on her face, and he softly said. "Xiao Ge, you're not really angry with me, so don't be afraid of me."
Hua Ruge stared at him blankly. No matter how he looked at it, seemed to be reflecting on himself.
Can't blame her for lying to him?
"Aren't you angry?" Hua Ruge asked weakly.
Tuoba Rui raised his brows: "I'm angry, but it's better to think that your head doesn't hurt."
Hua Ruge felt extremely ashamed.
Do you have to be so nice to her?
How was she supposed to repay him?
Seeing her regretful look, Tuoba Rui held back his laughter and asked with a straight face: "Can I drink less from now on?"
0
"Yes, yes." Hua Ruge immediately replied with complete sincerity, as obedient as a primary school student.
Tuoba Rui laughed, then extended his hand to rub her head: "Good girl."
Hua Ruge followed him and laughed.
"I'll make you something nice to eat." Tuoba Rui patted her head before she woke up.
Hua Ruge was so moved that he almost threw himself at her.
It was only after Tuoba Rui left that she slowly came back to her senses, her face full of suspicion.
Although Tuoba Rui had always been good to her, it was rare for her to be so gentle and considerate today.
After a long moment passed, her eyes opened wide.
"This isn't to trick me into quitting drinking, is it?" she said suddenly.
When she thought about how she had been moved to such a state and decided to drink less, she felt that this possibility was even more likely.
Hence, she wanted to find Tuoba Rui to argue, but after thinking about it, she had no reason to.
Originally, he thought that he had used his little intelligence without getting scolded. However, it turned out that when he fought the dark man, he would only lose to him in terms of physical strength.
In the future, if you have anything to say, just say it directly.
She pouted in grievance.
Tuoba Rui's breakfast was served, but before he could speak with Hua Ruge, a soldier knocked on the door and said, "Battle King, someone from the palace has arrived. He said that he wanted to announce the decree of the Emperor."
"He still has the face to declare an edict?" Hua Ruge raised his eyebrows.
Tuoba Rui gave her the chopsticks and said, "Eat while it's hot. I'll go out and take a look."
Hua Ruge took the chopsticks and put them on the table, "I'll still watch it with you, otherwise I won't be able to rest at ease."
"Sure." Tuoba Rui pulled her and the two of them walked out of the room.
Walking out of the room, he saw a group of soldiers wearing yellow armor standing on the limestone road in front of the door. Standing at the very front was an old eunuch holding a bright yellow silk cloth in his hand.
At this time, Tuoba Rui also saw the Cang Lan Envoys and Mu Zixi at the side.
He frowned. Still here?
Did he take his words as nothing?
Hua Ruge felt Mu Zixi's gaze on him and calmly welcomed him with a trace of a polite smile in his eyes.
