When Wen Shengjun came back from the ridge, he saw Sheng Tianyue standing on the ground with her hands behind her back, looking at him meaningfully.
Wen Shengjun looked down at the dust on his body and the mud on his hands.
He chuckled, "I'm going to wash my hands."
"I have something to ask you." Sheng Tianyue said.
"Come after you wash your hands!" Wen Shengjun quickened his pace.
After a while, the two of them walked slowly along the field, one behind the other.
As Wen Shengjun walked, he looked at the sugar cane fields that stretched far away.
"I just hope I won't let you down..." Wen Shengjun said.
Sheng Tianyue cleared her throat, "Apart from sister...haven't you ever thought about yourself?"
Wen Shengjun was stunned, "What are you considering? Isn't this a good thing for me?"
He looked down at his legs, looking dazed for a moment.
His expression also became gentler, "At the beginning, she tried her best for my legs and wouldn't let me lose."
"Today, I will try my best to never let her lose!"
Sheng Tianyue was a little moved. She was silent for a moment, then raised her head and said, "Have you never considered... the issue of life-long events?"
"The people in Yunning County are simple and honest, and you go out of your way to teach them for free... There are many women who fall in love with you."
Wen Shengjun said seriously, "Your Majesty is in dire straits, how can I think about such things?"
After saying that, he shook his head again, "I didn't think about it. I don't want to think about it now."
"Both of my parents are gone, and there is no pressure to continue the family line. No one is urging me..."
When he said this, he suddenly looked at Sheng Tianyue.
"As for the relationship, I hope it will come true... Now I am busy with my affairs and have no time for him to take care of it. I am afraid that I will neglect the girl, so... let's not think about it for now."
Sheng Tianyue's heart skipped a beat...
What is he saying?
Did he ask her to wait for him? Or is she being pretentious and overthinking?
Sheng Tianyue had always thought of herself as smart, but at this moment, she felt that she was extremely stupid and couldn't understand whether he meant this.
"By the way, there's something I want to ask Xiaoyue for help!"
He looked solemn.
Sheng Tianyue also quickly calmed down and said, "Say."
"I have noticed in the past few days that some squires from the local area and nearby counties are staring at the sugar cane fields."
"The seedlings raised by the empress are really good, with thick roots and strong seedlings. In just over a month, the sugar cane has grown to half the height of a person..."
"My queen is waiting for this batch of sugar cane to be harvested! Now is the critical period for the growth of sugar cane, so we can't make any mistakes!"
"I'm worried that some people are jealous...and deliberately causing harm! Therefore, I would like to ask Xiaoyue to arrange manpower to patrol day and night to protect the sugar cane."
Sheng Tianyue nodded quickly, "Brother Wen is thoughtful, I will find someone to help."
The sugar cane fields are very large, and patrolling them requires a lot of manpower.
Sheng Tianyue asked her shopkeepers to deploy manpower, and also contacted Yuan Xingzhi to find someone to help.
Even she herself lived in a farmyard very close to Wen Shengjun's simple house.
She is good at Kung Fu, no matter if it is to answer Wen Shengjun's request.
Or because she was concerned about this matter, she wanted to do the best possible job.
That night, she had fallen asleep in the main room of this farmhouse.
But suddenly I heard someone shouting outside.
Sheng Tianyue was still a little hysterical at first.
Suddenly hearing Wen Shengjun's voice, she woke up with a start.
She stood up suddenly, put on her clothes, and walked out quickly.
"Catch them! If you dare to steal sugar cane! Catch them and beat them to death!" someone shouted while holding a torch.
Sheng Tianyue used the moonlight and firelight to see a group of more than a dozen people jumping out of the sugar cane field, all dressed in black, with their heads and faces covered.
They also saw her and hurriedly turned around and ran to the sugar cane fields in the other direction.
With sickles in their hands, they ran and destroyed sugar cane that was half as tall as a man.
"Catch them! Report them to the emperor! The emperor ordered me to plant them!"
"Anyone who dares to destroy sugar cane is disobeying the emperor's order! Going against the emperor!"
"This is the crime of killing the Nine Clans! Catch them! Even if they are beaten to death, they can be killed again by the Nine Clans!"
Wen Shengjun's usually gentle voice sounded particularly chilling and sonorous in this dark and turbulent night!
The men in black hesitated for a moment, then retracted the hand holding the sickle... and did not dare to touch the sugar cane again.
The land is too wide and they can run fast.
Looking for a place where no one was blocking them, they ran away separately.
Sheng Tianyue flew back, only to see Wen Shengjun's face was muddy.
He also has a slight limp in his legs.
"Are you injured?!" Sheng Tianyue was furious, full of evil aura, and she clenched her fists.
Wen Shengjun grinned, "Hiss..."
He didn't know where the injury was, and it hurt so much that he sucked in air.
"It's a little sprained, but it doesn't matter. Fortunately, you arrived in time!" He said with a smile, "The loss is not big."
Sheng Tianyue looked at the injuries on his face and the mud on his body...
Is this just a little weird?
He was injured, but he could still shout such shocking words with such confidence just now to scare away those thieves?
Sheng Tianyue suddenly had a new understanding of this frail and gentle scholar.
It turns out that he not only has a gentle and jade-like side, but he also has a courageous and strategic side.
He caught those people and severely punished the perpetrators, but destroyed a large area of sugar cane... Compared with saving the sugar cane, he decisively chose the latter.
"After being shocked, they probably won't dare to come again." Sheng Tianyue comforted.
Wen Shengjun ignored his injury and immediately returned to his room, studied ink by lamplight, and wrote a letter to Wen Jin in the capital.
A few days later, Wen Jin got news about his eldest brother from Xinying.
She asked Xin Ying to deliver the best external and internal medicines to her eldest brother.
At the same time, Xiao Yuchen's imperial edict was also sent from Kyoto.
…
In fact, Wen Jin was overly worried.
That night, Sheng Tianyue asked his shopkeeper to send him good medicine.
She even personally took care of Wen Shengjun, giving him acupuncture, decoction, and plaster to heal his injuries.
In just a few days, Wen Shengjun was able to move freely.
But on his delicate and gentle face, there was a bruise at the corner of his mouth that had not faded away.
Sheng Tianyue couldn't help laughing every time she saw that bruise.
Yuan Hanjun has noticed something in the past few days.
She found Sheng Tianyue in private, "Miss Sheng, have you asked for me?"
Sheng Tianyue coughed lightly, "I asked. He said he doesn't think about it now."
"Actually, you want to marry him, right?" Yuan Hanjun said straightforwardly.
Sheng Tianyue turned to look at Yuan Hanjun.
She wanted to say, yes, she just wanted to! So what?
But as soon as the words came out, it was, "It's none of your business, don't ask so many questions."
Yuan Hanjun puffed his lips, "I thought you were different from me! You know Kung Fu, you have a free and easy temperament, and when you wear men's clothes, you look like a handsome young man!"
"I thought you were braver than us! I didn't expect you didn't even dare to admit it!"
Sheng Tianyue's heart was beating wildly, and she pretended to be calm, "Why don't you dare? Brother Wen and I are... we have a relationship like family members! It's not what you think!"
How embarrassing it would be if you said it but were rejected!
Even the current relationship can't be maintained!
Yuan Hanjun looked at her for a moment and suddenly said, "Don't you dare ask! I'll ask for you!"
"You...come back!" Sheng Tianyue was anxious.
