Chapter 554: The Republic of China, the Marshal's Gentle Cousin 23
Mu Yuanzhao coughed lightly and looked at Adjutant Qian, who had long forgotten his military orders, with a suspiciously cold and hard tone in his voice.
Adjutant Qian was instantly brought back to his senses by what the young marshal said. With a start, he quickly raised his hand to salute, his posture straight and his expression solemn.
"The young marshal will be entrusted to you from now on. I need to go back and calm the people down and find the spies hiding among us."
Adjutant Qian's tone was resounding, revealing a firmness that brooked no room for argument.
Miaomiao was stunned when she heard this, and nodded slightly. She had no idea who this person was, but since he was in the young marshal's room, he must be his confidant.
"Leave the young marshal to me, just rest assured."
After Miaomiao finished speaking, Mu Yuanzhao also followed suit.
“Be sure to proceed with caution and not alert the enemy.
Also, please prioritize the things I instructed you to do before."
Mu Yuanzhao's voice was slightly low, and he almost couldn't control his emotions in front of Miaomiao.
However, he spoke so cryptically that one had to be very smart to guess that he was talking about Teacher Sun, who was praised by the eldest lady as a candidate for Miaomiao's future husband.
Normally, no one would suspect that Mu Yuanzhao had feelings for Miaomiao.
After all, apart from the second concubine who had sharp eyes, had been in the world for too long and had seen too much love, no one else would have thought that a man who had always been self-disciplined and respectful would suddenly fall in love with his cousin.
This impossibility was even more shocking to them than Mu Yuanzhao falling in love with a man.
As the heavy door slowly closed, the air in the room unconsciously became thicker.
Miaomiao turned her head to look at her eldest nephew lying on the bed behind her. Her eyes moved from his pale but still heroic face to the gauze on his chest that was soaked with blood.
"Or, let me change the gauze for you.
Don't worry, I have some experience in caring for patients."
Miaomiao secretly took a look at the Son of Fortune's good figure twice. He was truly the best of the best.
But as an elder, she naturally has to have some ideas and just take a look at them. It's not good to have anything else.
“Thank you Miaomiao.
The first reason I called you to the main building is because both your mother and I trust you very much, even more than we trust other people.
Secondly, the small building is no longer safe."
Mu Yuanzhao coughed twice as he spoke, and the wounds on his body began to bleed even more because of the coughing.
"I understand. Don't worry. I'll help you change the medicine..."
Miaomiao didn't understand all these intrigues, but she knew that she couldn't be a troublemaker. She just stayed where she was told to stay. When Mu Yuanzhao got better, she would throw Teacher Sun in front of him and get rid of him.
That would be perfect.
So, the first thing Miaomiao did when she took office was to change the dressing on Mu Yuanzhao's chest. She also saw with her own eyes the skin that was so painful that it gave off goose bumps, and touched the firm arms.
In short, since Adjutant Qian and her cousin left, Miaomiao began to take care of her nephew's daily life sincerely.
In this corner of the Marshal's Mansion, time seems to have slowed down, yet there is a turbulent undercurrent hidden.
Miaomiao naturally couldn't help with things like Mu Yuanzhao going to the toilet, but she was very attentive when it came to changing the medicine and watching him make the medicine.
Of course, he also needed to help feed them occasionally, because the soldiers around Mu Yuanzhao seemed a little clumsy.
Either he soiled the gauze on Mu Yuanzhao's body, or he accidentally burned him...
However, after only one day together, Miaomiao already felt a little uncomfortable.
It’s not that she is not used to taking care of patients. In the original owner’s memory, she is also considered a veteran.
The main reason was that they were a single man and a single woman. Miaomiao thought she could be absolutely fair, but she couldn't stand her eldest nephew, who didn't seem to know how to avoid suspicion.
That’s right, Miaomiao didn’t expect that she would use such feudal words to describe the relationship between them.
The eldest cousin told Miaomiao that apart from staying in the military camp, Mu Yuanzhao kept his distance from all women, so he knew nothing about many things.
Therefore, when I was with Miaomiao, I felt like I was looking at her as a man.
At least, that's what Miaomiao thought unilaterally.
For example, he didn't think it was a big deal to expose his chest in front of Miaomiao, but when Miaomiao changed the dressing on his wound, Mu Yuanzhao's eyes would unconsciously stare at her.
That ignorant and fragile look, and the hot air he exhaled went straight into Miaomiao's neck.
The handsome and fragile little puppy was okay, but if Miaomiao didn't know that Mu Yuanzhao was a patient and a somewhat old-fashioned young marshal, she would have thought that this guy was seducing her.
So, even though Miaomiao had no other thoughts at first, during these few encounters, she unconsciously triggered some adverse reactions, such as a little dizziness in the chest...
During this day, almost all servants were forbidden to approach the main building, but fortunately, Mu Yuanzhao was not difficult to take care of, and Miaomiao was not tired either.
It was not until night fell that Miaomiao was taken back to her room to rest by her cousin after she had even eaten in her room.
Because Mu Yuanzhao didn't have many people he could trust, it was Adjutant Qian's turn to help take care of him at night.
When the two shifts took over and Miaomiao left, although the light in Mu Yuanzhao's room was still dim and soft, the warm atmosphere disappeared like smoke, leaving only the feeling of an ice cellar.
Adjutant Qian seemed not to notice the young marshal's disdain and saluted as he approached.
"Young Marshal, I have a special discovery about someone named Sun."
His voice was not loud, just loud enough for Mu Yuanzhao who was still lying in bed to hear.
Mu Yuanzhao turned his head slightly and looked at Adjutant Qian with eagle-like sharp eyes.
After getting along with each other, it is even more impossible for Mu Yuanzhao to give Miaomiao to anyone else. She is his and can only be his.
"Speak. Come closer."
The room seemed soundproof, but Miaomiao lived next door to his room, and he didn't want Miaomiao to know that he had checked her "friends".
"Young Marshal, according to investigations, Sun Tianping is a spy sent by Marshal Wang to South City.
Our people also found explosives in the apartment where he lived, but they didn't dare to alert the enemy and retreated again.
The people below asked you what you should do.”
Adjutant Qian's words made Mu Yuanzhao's half-closed eyes suddenly open, and a hint of irrepressible joy flashed in his eyes.
"really?"
His voice trembled slightly, and the tense string in his heart seemed to finally relax a little.
Humph, love at first sight, it turned out to be deliberate.
Mu Yuanzhao didn't care how unrealistic such an encounter was. In short, he was certain in his heart that the man was a traitor.
"It's true."
Adjutant Qian quickly added.
Then, he saw that the joy on the young marshal's face stayed for a moment, but then a deeper rage rose.
"Send someone to arrest him immediately!"
