The Cruel Tyrant

55

Su Mu slowly opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was Gu Yunzhou's indifferent face.

"Gu Yunzhou."

Su Mu felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained. He opened his mouth but only made a small sound.

He tried to move the body still held in Gu Yunzhou's arms, feeling a little stiff and painful. In addition, his body also felt sticky and exuded a strong smell of blood. It all caused Su Mu to frown uncomfortably. He raised his arms weakly, attempting to get up from Gu Yunzhou's arms.

Gu Yunzhou sat on the ground with one hand holding him and one hand on Su Mu's chest to send internal force into him. He looked at Su Mu who was struggling like a newly born kitten in his arms without any expression.

Su Mu moved for only a brief while but already felt that he had no strength left at all. In the end he gave up the useless struggling. He lay in Gu Yunzhou's arms and looked at him, "Can you help me call the maid in?"

Gu Yunzhou looked at him coldly and said, "No."

Su Mu asked with exasperation: "Why?"

"You are too weak. For the time being you cannot be let go of." Gu Yunzhou said calmly.

Su Mu looked at his dirty body with disgust, and said, "But I can't remain in this state, I'm going to attract flies."

Gu Yunzhou looked at Su Mu and then made a move with his right hand. The curtain in the distance immediately flew over and covered Su Mu's naked body. In the next instant Su Mu felt himself wrapped and then lifted.

The door of the room was suddenly opened, and the maidservants guarding outside didn't even have time to react when Gu Yunzhou disappeared holding Su Mu.

Inside the imperial palace, in the Royal Garden, Gu Yunzhou suddenly appeared beside a clear pond holding Su Mu. He pulled the gauze wrapping Su Mu and threw it aside, then still hugging Su Mu, he walked in without a flicker of change to his expression.

Su Mu's face blushed a rare deep red. Seeing that he would be immersed in the pond water, he reminded the other with exasperation: "It's only spring now, you want to freeze me to death? Hey, hey......huh?"

When his whole body sank into the water, Su Mu was surprised to find that he did not feel cold at all. Su Mu lifted his hands from the water, and a layer of steam rose from his bare arms. The cold water did not make Su Mu feel cold but instead only made him feel refreshed.

"I didn't expect internal force to have this kind of use." Su Mu said in surprise.

But then again, Su Mochi only knew how to use his internal force to kill people so it was not surprising that this body did not have such a memory. However, Su Mu truly admired Gu Yunzhou for being able to use his internal force to achieve this effect on others as well.

The cold pond water washed Su Mu's pale and pliable body. He raised his hands laboriously to wash his dirty body, when suddenly there was a noise that caused Su Mu to stop.

"Your Majesty, chen qie is here, ah......Your Majesty, you are so bad......chen qie will not comply~!" (TN: chen qie is used by the emperor's wives and concubines to refer to themselves and can be translated as "I, your lowly concubine")

"Ai fei, you are too naughty, haha......I caught you......" (TN: ai fei is what the emperor calls his wives and concubines and can be translated as "beloved concubine")

What came after that was a series of indecent and erotic sounds that would make anyone blush.

Su Mu recognized that this was Su Yuan, that old thing's voice, but he didn't plan to stick his nose in; it was just that the words that came next from the woman made Su Mu's eyes go cold.
