Chapter 33

When Li Youfu saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince carrying Gu Yanling over, he thought she had just been pampered by His Royal Highness in the cold spring and had lost her strength. When he approached her, he heard His Royal Highness say, "Go call the doctor."

Gu Yanling was not wearing shoes or socks. Chang Feng noticed the wound on Gu Yanling's ankle and asked, "Did she get bit by a snake?"

Xiao Xinghan: "Yeah."

Li Youfu said anxiously, "Ouch! How did you get bit by a snake? I'll go back and call a doctor right away."

Chang Feng: "Master, let me hold you."

Xiao Xinghan: "No need."

Gu Yanling poked her head out from Xiao Xinghan's arms: "Brother Chang Feng, don't worry, the snake is not poisonous, I was just scared."

Chang Feng also noticed that the two bloody holes on his ankles had not turned black, "You still have to be more cautious."

Gu Yanling grabbed Xiao Xinghan's collar and said, "The situation was too critical at the time. I was so worried about the young master that I couldn't think of anything else. Fortunately, there was no poison. I almost thought I would die."

When he said this, Xiao Xinghan hugged him tightly again, "Okay, stop talking."

Gu Yanling's final words were: "As long as the young master is alright."

After saying this, she quietly put her face in Xiao Xinghan's arms.

When Chang Feng heard that Gu Yanling was injured while saving His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, although he was worried about him, he was relieved in the end. After all, His Royal Highness's life was worth a fortune and no mistakes could be made.

When they returned, the imperial physician was already waiting. Gu Yanling was placed on the couch. Her ankle was already swollen. After cleaning and bandaging the wound, the imperial physician said to Xiao Xinghan, "Master, although this snake is not venomous, it still needs to be carefully rested."

"If it hurts, apply ice."

Xiao Xinghan: "Li Youfu, bring the Qingxin Jiedu Pill over here."

Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has spoken, Li Youfu naturally has to go and get this priceless elixir.

Gu Yanling: "It's not poisonous, so don't eat it. What a waste."

Xiao Xinghan fed the pill to Gu Yanling's lips: "It will relieve your pain. You will feel better after taking it."

Gu Yanling thought that the snake bite was not in vain. Xiao Xinghan was much gentler to him now. He had never used this tone before.

After everyone left, Gu Yanling began to act coquettishly: "Master, I'm still a little scared even though you're holding me."

Xiao Xinghan held him in his arms: "Don't do this next time."

Gu Yanling: "Then can I let the snake bite the young master? This snake looks so brightly colored, what if it is poisonous? I can't let the young master get hurt."

Xiao Xinghan was not someone who could be fooled so easily. He was too worried to think and said calmly, "Can you tell whether a snake is poisonous or not?"

"You've been wandering around in the mountains since you were little, and you know how to get rid of parasites and treat illnesses. How could you not be able to tell the difference?"

Gu Yanling was ruthlessly exposed, and she lost her composure for a moment. She pouted and got up from Xiao Xinghan's arms, turned her back to him silently, and began to cry.

Xiao Xinghan turned him around.

Gu Yanling cried even harder, pushing away the hand that was wiping her tears, and sobbed, "I'm worried about you, I would do this regardless of whether it's poisonous or not."

Xiao Xinghan: "Okay, stop crying. I believe you."

Only then did Gu Yanling let him wipe her tears, and then she threw herself into his arms, "What you meant just now was that I was playing tricks, and that my kindness was not rewarded. You are such a disgusting person."

Xiao Xinghan had no choice but to coax him again carefully.

Gu Yanling was bitten by a snake after all. Even if it was not poisonous, the wound was so swollen that she fell asleep in Xiao Xinghan's arms after crying so much.

When I woke up, the room was brightly lit with candles.

Gu Yanling found herself still in Xiao Xinghan's arms, having fallen asleep. Perhaps the detoxification pill had taken effect, and the pain in her wound had subsided. She met Xiao Xinghan's eyes and said shyly, "You've been holding me the whole time? Why didn't you put me on the couch?"

Xiao Xinghan chuckled and said, "I'm afraid you'll wake up and complain that I'm not here to watch over you."

Gu Yanling denied it: "I'm not that kind of person!"

Xiao Xinghan: "Are you hungry?"

Gu Yanling nodded: "I picked a basket of mushrooms and am waiting to eat them in a hot pot."

Xiao Xinghan asked someone to prepare, and soon a pot was set up on the table. Originally, they were cooking a black chicken and river fresh pot, but because Gu Yanling was bitten by a snake and couldn't eat it, they changed it to a winter melon and pork rib pot, and also put the processed mushrooms in it to cook.

Gu Yanling had a good appetite and ate two large bowls in a row. Xiao Xinghan saw that he was greedy and stopped him, saying, "Don't eat so much. Don't overeat."

Gu Yanling reluctantly put down her chopsticks after hearing this.

Xiao Xinghan had the pot removed from the table. Gu Yanling needed to recuperate now, so he could only rest more. The servants brought him hot water for him to wash.

Gu Yanling sat on the bed: "Master, I can't sleep, please stay with me."

Xiao Xinghan: "I'm not leaving."

Gu Yanling patted the bed: "Come up and hug me."

After helping Xiao Xinghan undress, Li Youfu led the servants out of the inner room and stood guard behind the screen.

Gu Yanling put her arms around Xiao Xinghan's neck and said, "Master, tell me a story."

Xiao Xinghan: "..."

Gu Yanling always clings to people when she's sick, and now that she's been bitten by a snake, it's like she's sick. "How about you tell me what's fun in the capital? Is the capital very prosperous? How is it different from Yangzhou?"

Xiao Xinghan touched the back of his neck: "You'll know when you and I go to the capital."

Gu Yanling thought to herself, "I won't go to the capital with you." She shrank her neck and refused to let him touch her. She put her face close to Xiao Xinghan's chest and said, "I want to know now. Tell me."

Xiao Xinghan's large hand gently stroked his back, "It's prosperous, more lively than Yangzhou. It suits your temperament. You'll like it."

Gu Yanling: "Is it really that lively?"

Xiao Xinghan rarely left the palace, and couldn't tell how lively the life among the people was. However, every New Year's Eve, he would stand at the highest point of the city gate with his father, the emperor, and his mother, the queen, and set off the most colorful fireworks to get rid of the old and welcome the new. That day was indeed very lively.

Gu Yanling didn't care: "We in Yangzhou also have beautiful fireworks, it's nothing special."

Xiao Xinghan: "..."

Gu Yanling: "Anything else?"

Xiao Xinghan: "You'll know when you go there."

Gu Yanling snorted: "I think it's just like that, that's why the young master can't say it."

Xiao Xinghan: "Why, if it's not as lively as Yangzhou, you won't want to go?"

Gu Yanling said sweetly, "Oh, I will go no matter how lively it is. I want to be with the young master forever. I can't bear to be separated from the young master. Wherever the young master goes, I will go."

Xiao Xinghan lowered his head and kissed his lips.

Gu Yanling's face was dizzy from the kiss, and she was a little breathless. She grabbed Xiao Xinghan's hand and said, "Master, is it time to put the pills in?"

Xiao Xinghan: "..."

Gu Yanling looked at him expectantly.

Ever since that experience, Gu Yanling has become somewhat addicted to it. Once she gets intimate with Xiao Xinghan, she can't help but think about him.

Xiao Xinghan felt a little helpless. If the snake bite had not happened, he would never let Gu Yanling go tonight just because she was so proactive.

"The doctor said you need to take care of yourself and stop dwelling on unnecessary things."

Gu Yanling argued: "The snake is not poisonous. I thought I was already healed."

Xiao Xinghan rubbed his inconspicuous upper lip beads: "Tomorrow."

Gu Yanling pushed him and said, "Why are you still here with me? I want to sleep."

Xiao Xinghan: "He's always good at destroying bridges after crossing them."

Gu Yanling also felt that her actions were a bit unkind, so she hugged him again and said, "Then you can do it for me tomorrow when I recover."

Feeling that her words were a bit hasty, she added, "I also want to have sex with the young master as soon as possible."

Xiao Xinghan kissed his lips: "Definitely tomorrow."

Gu Yanling had no idea of ​​the consequences of her words. While lying in Xiao Xinghan's arms, she was happily looking forward to tomorrow.
