Chapter 93 I, Huo Zheng, swear here

"You have a cold body. Why are you running out to get into the cold wind instead of staying inside?"

Chunzhi was about to go into the house, but when she heard Huo Zheng cough, she immediately turned around and looked at him.

Huo Zheng clenched his right hand into a fist, put it to his lips and coughed several times before stopping.

He said in a hoarse voice: "You haven't come back yet."

That's what I said.

It was as if Haruji had left him to do something.

Chunzhi wanted to say something to him, but was speechless for a moment. She walked up slowly and said in a somewhat stiff tone, "Hurry into the house."

Huo Zheng stood by the door without moving, "What about you?"

"I'm going back to the house too." Chunzhi said, "Who is like you? You know it's cold outside but you still want to stand outside and freeze."

As she said this, she turned and went back to the house.

Huo Zheng followed her into the main house.

Haruji heard footsteps and turned to look at him, "Why are you following me?"

Huo Zheng said: "You were the one who let me into the house."

Chunzhi suddenly: "..." I asked you to go back to your room, not to follow me into the house!

But Huo Zheng entered her room as naturally as if he were entering his own home. He walked to the table, poured a cup of hot tea and warmed his hands.

Seeing this, Chunzhi couldn't help but look at him again.

Huo Zheng stepped forward and handed her the cup of tea.

Chunzhi asked curiously, "Why are you giving it to me?"

Huo Zheng said: "You keep looking at me, aren't you thirsty?"

Chunzhi thought to herself: I have been watching you, wondering how you can be so natural in someone else's house.

Huo Zheng handed over the teacup, and Chunzhi took it.

She sat down by the window with a cup of tea in her hand, looking at the grass and trees in the yard covered with a thick layer of snow.

The ground was covered with silver, leaving behind a trail of footprints.

There were birds perched on the eaves, chirping.

Chunzhi thought of her tofu workshop. When the swallows returned in spring, they always liked to build nests under her eaves.

Now the house is empty, and I don’t know if the swallows will come again next year.

Huo Zheng walked slowly to Chunzhi and looked out along her line of sight.

He didn't say anything, just stayed quietly beside Chunzhi.

When she was working in the tofu workshop, Chunzhi was always busy doing this and that and rarely had time to rest.

Now in the Song residence, she doesn't need to do anything, and she often accompanies Song Wan'er to visit Song Anlan.

It was difficult for Huo Zheng to be alone with her for a while.

It was quiet all around.

It was so quiet that only the sound of the two people breathing could be heard.

Chunzhi took a sip of hot tea and called out softly, "Huo Zheng."

"I am here."

Huo Zheng stared at Chunzhi and responded in a low voice.

Chunzhi whispered, "You found the Resurrection Flower for Song Anlan this time and saved his life. Just ask for whatever you want."

She said, "The Song family is the richest in Dongzhou and is extremely wealthy. Even if you ask for half of the Song family's wealth, the Song brothers and sisters will definitely agree."

Huo Zheng asked her, "What about you?"

Huo Zheng looked at Chunzhi with eyes as dark as ink. "I want you, do you agree?"

Chunzhi raised her eyes and met Huo Zheng's gaze, "Huo Zheng!"

"You are Song Wan'er's sister, the sister that Song Anlan personally recognized. You are also one of the Song siblings." Huo Zheng said, "If I want to repay a favor and take you away, will you agree?"

Chunzhi was silent for a moment, "Huo Zheng, you..."

Huo Zheng said, "I thought about repaying the favor, but Chunzhi...how could I bear to embarrass you in the slightest?"

Chunzhi was silent.

Huo Zheng said, "I know Song Anlan saved your life, and you consider him your savior. No matter what he asks, you can't bear to refuse. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't jump into the river and leave, nor would you be saved by Song Anlan. This is ultimately because of me, so I will repay this favor for you."

He said, "I will pay you back what you owe him."

Chunzhi bit her lip, "Huo Zheng..."

Huo Zheng said seriously, "I didn't know you were worried so much before, nor did I know what you were afraid of... It wasn't until today that I understood your difficulties."

He said, "I didn't want to be born into a royal family, and I don't want to drag you into a den of danger. But you and I are already husband and wife, and as husband and wife, we should be of one mind and one heart. Tell me everything you're worried about, afraid of, or want, and I'll do my best to keep you safe and content."

Song Anlan talked a lot with Huo Zheng a few days ago, and Huo Zheng thought about those words over and over again.

Finally, today, I said these words to Harue.

After hearing what Huo Zheng said, Chunzhi couldn't help but be moved. "So... you said you wanted to marry me, are you serious?"

Huo Zheng said: "Of course I am serious."

Chunzhi put down her cup. "But you are the revered Prince of Chang'an. If you marry me, you will surely be ridiculed... Not only will you be ridiculed, but how will you explain it to your mother if you marry me?"

"This is my business." Huo Zheng saw that Chunzhi had softened a little and immediately said, "As long as you agree, I'll take care of the rest."

Chunzhi said: "You want to marry me now because you can't let me go for the time being. In the future, you will have three wives and four concubines..."

Huo Zheng immediately raised his hand and swore, "I, Huo Zheng, swear here that I will only marry Chunzhi in this life and will not marry again or take concubines. If I break this oath, I will be struck by lightning and nothing I ask for will be granted!"

His oath was very poisonous.

Chunzhi was stunned for a moment.

She looked up at Huo Zheng and said, "I am just a country girl. How could I have the ability to make you do this?"

Huo Zheng looked at her with eyes as dark as ink, "Chunzhi, you don't even know how good you are."

There is only one Chunzhi in this world.

If I lose her.

It is rare in the world.

Chunzhi was about to say something when Huo Zheng suddenly started coughing again.

He turned around and covered his lips with his fist, as if he didn't want Chunzhi to see his miserable appearance.

Chunzhi quickly stood up and helped him sit down. "The doctor told you to rest well. Why didn't you follow the doctor's orders?"

Huo Zheng gradually recovered and whispered, "You ignored me before..."

Haruji: “…”

Huo Zheng added: "You only care about Song Anlan."

Haruji: “…”

"Stop talking." Chunzhi said, "Go lie down on the bed."

Huo Zheng asked tentatively, "Lie on your bed?"

Since Chunzhi didn't refuse, he took it as her consent and immediately stood up and walked towards the bed.

Huo Zheng had just taken a step when he seemed to remember something, stopped, and reached out to Chunzhi for support.

Seeing this, Chunzhi had no choice but to reach out to help him.

She helped Huo Zheng onto the couch and covered him with a quilt. Just as she was about to leave, Huo Zheng reached out and held her back.

He asked Chunzhi, "How long have you been guarding Song Anlan's bed?"

"Not long." Chunzhi said helplessly, "Wan'er was always guarding his bedside."

"Then you stay with me." Huo Zheng moved inward, giving half of the bed to Chunzhi.

Chunzhi didn't want to stay in the same bed with him in broad daylight, so she said, "I'm going to see if the medicine the doctor gave you has taken effect."

Huo Zheng hugged Chunzhi to prevent her from leaving, and whispered in her ear: "As long as you are by my side, all my illnesses will be cured."
