Cen Xi opened her eyes and found herself in an inn, no longer tied up on the mountain. After looking at her body again and confirming that she had not traveled through time again, she knew that she had been rescued.

The pain in her lower abdomen made her subconsciously touch it, and then she felt the discomfort in her lower body. Cen Xi knew very well that she had miscarried.

She couldn't help but close her eyes and sigh. The child was lost after all; she hadn't been able to protect her.

Shen Jinchen was standing by the octagonal table, writing something. Hearing a noise from the bed, he turned his head to look.

Seeing Cen Xi staring blankly at the bed curtains, Shen Jinchen couldn't help but step forward and ask:

"You woke up without even calling me, and what are you doing staring at the bed curtains?"

"Is your child gone?"

Cen Xi turned her face to look at Shen Jinchen.

"You're not thinking of divorcing me again, are you? Cen Xi, we're already married. We may not have a child this time, but we can have another one."

Shen Jinchen was afraid that Cen Xi would say something about leaving, so he quickly cut off what Cen Xi was about to say.

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Seeing his nervous expression, Cen Xi couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"She's injured like this, and she's not worried at all. Is Her Highness stupid?"

Seeing him smile like that, Shen Jinchen's lips curled into a crazy smile. It seemed that even without the child, this woman wouldn't leave him.

"No matter how badly I was injured, you saved me, didn't you? What else could I have done if I wasn't injured? If the other side wanted to kill me, and I had no way to fight back, wouldn't I have been at their mercy? Luckily I didn't die, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to complete the mission, and if God were to punish me, I wouldn't be able to be reborn into a good family in my next life, which would be quite tragic."

Since Cen Xi had died once, she was no longer so afraid of death. After all, everyone has a soul, and she could be reborn as a human in the next life.

Even if the other party wanted to obliterate her soul this time, there was nothing she could do; life and death are in the hands of fate.

She didn't die, did she? It seems that God still needs her.

"You woman! Sometimes your thinking is really hard to understand. Are you hungry? I asked the inn to prepare some porridge for you. The temperature is about right now, have some."

Seeing how easily she viewed death, Shen Jinchen seemed to understand. He had risked his life to save her, but she had only been moved for a month or two, feeling utterly helpless.

"I think I have blood on me, and I want to take a shower."

Cen Xi had been hungry for so long on the mountain, but now she didn't feel hungry at all, probably because Shen Jinchen had given her medicine.

Thinking of how terrible she looked when she was unconscious, she wanted to wash herself clean.

"I've already done it for you. Check yourself to see if you're clean. Just eat in peace. Although the medicine I gave you earlier had a satiating effect, you still need to eat to recover."

Shen Jinchen looked at her with a smile and teased her.

"oh!"

Cen Xi glanced down and realized that she was indeed quite clean and didn't seem to have any bloodstains. It was just that it was the middle of the night, and she hadn't noticed it earlier.

"Then let's eat. Bring the food over."

Cen Xi bossed Shen Jinchen around without any mercy. After all, her husband was meant to be bossed around, and if he didn't want to, she would just do whatever she wanted to him.

"How could I dare disobey the lady's command?"

With a triumphant smile, Shen Jinchen walked to the bedside and fed Cen Xi spoonful by spoonful.

After finishing his meal, Shen Jinchen didn't continue with his official duties. He climbed into bed, took Cen Xi's hand, and asked with a smile:

"Aren't you moved that your husband traveled a thousand miles to save you?"

"So what if I'm moved? So what if I'm not? A woman marries a man for food and clothing, and to ensure my personal safety. You don't even have this much awareness, yet you dare to say you love me and like me?"

To be honest, Cen Xi was quite touched, but she was the kind of person who would hold back three parts of her emotions, even if she was deeply moved.

There's nothing she can do; society taught her a lesson from her past life: to love others, you must first love yourself.

"You heartless woman, no wonder Jun Jianchou gave so much but still couldn't get you."

Shen Jinchen turned his face away and muttered reluctantly that meeting such a woman in his life was also his calamity.

"You want me to be with Jun Jianchou?"

Cen Xi grabbed his ear and asked.

"Who cares? I'm just a little indignant. Cen Xi, have you lost your mind?"

Shen Jinchen was never ambiguous about court affairs or when fighting with others, and he never showed any fear. Unfortunately, he suffered a complete defeat at the hands of Cen Xi.

"I've lost my conscience, and that's true, because you are a dog."

Cen Xi was naturally moved, but she didn't want to say it out loud. However, expressing it through actions was also an option.

So she leaned in and gave Shen Jinchen a light, quick kiss on the lips.

"Cen Xi!"

Shen Jinchen was overjoyed, his eyes sparkling as he stared intently at Cen Xi, as if he could make her bloom with joy.

"Why are you so touched? Go to sleep. I'm still injured, so don't do anything rash."

Cen Xi turned her head and revealed a sweet smile.

At this moment, she felt as if she was truly experiencing love.

It would be a lie for Cen Xi not to be moved that someone would risk their life to save her in such a situation. She was somewhat disappointed when she was placed in the formation, but in the end, the other party came to save her, didn't they?

Jun Xiaoqiao had said that the capital was surrounded on all sides and it would be impossible for him to come, but he still came in the end.

"You're touched, aren't you?"

Shen Jinchen grabbed Cen Xi's arm, wanting to confirm the answer in his heart.

"So what if it is? I wonder if Prime Minister Shen is heartbroken. Our child? There will be no heir when we return this time. Are you going to ascend the throne? Don't forget your promise to me."

Since Cen Xi was moved, she didn't bother to deny it, so she turned around and told him clearly.

But even when she speaks sweet nothings, her words are hard to hear.

Because she has already gotten used to letting go.

A person who once never dared to hope for love is now behaving like those women in the dating scene...

In any case, Cen Xi was at a loss for words; she simply couldn't do it.

"Ah-Xi, I know you're heartbroken, but we're still young, and we'll have children eventually. Besides, this baby might be a girl. Don't worry, I'll definitely save that spot for my son and I'll never set foot there again. Does that put your mind at ease?"

Shen Jinchen put his arm around Cen Xi and looked at her seriously before speaking in a formal manner.

"The two culprits on the mountain, did they escape or get caught?"

Cen Xi glanced at Chen Jinchen and tried to change the subject. She was cold-hearted by nature and not suited for emotional analysis, so she immediately shifted the focus to Yan Shengxiao and Xiao Qiliang.

"After I arrived, I helped Jun Jianchou out. He didn't escape and has now been captured by us."

Shen Jinchen's voice became somewhat weak whenever Jun Jianchou was mentioned.

Jun Jianchou was truly exceptional towards Cen Xi. If he hadn't struck first, it would have been only a matter of time before Cen Xi agreed to Jun Jianchou's proposal, and there would have been no chance for him.
