Chapter 334 The Girl in My Heart
"Pfft, pfft, pfft! You're a prince, a noble man, blessed with good fortune. How could you possibly die?" Xiao Jiuyue had barely finished speaking when he realized what was happening. "Wait, what do you mean you're dying, so you came to see me?"
This sentence sounds weird no matter how I listen to it.
Jun Lie looked around, and finally, his gaze fixed on Xiao Jiuyue's face, with a look of surprise: "Why are you here? Is it because I'm injured that you came to see me?"
"I have news about Hou Jian, so I came to Hongdu." Xiao Jiuyue answered directly without any detours.
"You came to see me secretly because I was poisoned and injured?" Jun Lie was obviously very happy because of this idea. Even though his face was pale and his lips were black and purple due to the poisoning, his eyes and eyebrows still showed joy.
"Ahem." Xiao Jiuyue cleared his throat and said, "Third Prince, we are partners. Seeing you injured, I must come to see you. The Xiao family has not been vindicated yet, so I'm sure you will be fine."
"I've been poisoned, a life-threatening poison. If I die, I've already told Lan Ying and Guo Yang to carry on my will and continue to redress the Xiao family's wrongdoing."
Jun Lie's voice was weak, and every word he spoke seemed to have exhausted all his strength.
"Stop." Xiao Jiuyue interrupted him, seemingly about to say his last words. "The Crown Prince has already sent someone to find you a cure for this minor poison. You'll be fine. Besides, we're partners. You're the Third Prince, and you're Jun Lie. You're a man of your word, and you won't break your promise to a little woman like me."
"Just take advantage of this opportunity now to recuperate, and don't rely on your good health to take the blame for others!" Xiao Jiuyue blurted out. There were many wounds on his body. It was okay when he was young, but if he was older, these hidden injuries would probably make him feel uncomfortable all over!
"From now on, I will only protect you." Jun Lie's eyes were fixed on Xiao Jiuyue. He looked weak and like a yandere.
Xiao Jiuyue's mouth twitched: "We are cooperating, but I didn't say we have to take the blame for others."
"I do." Jun Lie's burning eyes enveloped her like a raging fire. Xiao Jiuyue couldn't help but step back. She always felt that Jun Lie now was like raging lava, as if to melt her dusty heart.
"Jiuyue." Jun Lie suddenly grabbed her hand.
Even though he was poisoned and injured, his bony hands, combined with her black clothes, made the blue veins on his hands look even more frightening.
"You should take good care of your injuries." Xiao Jiuyue took the initiative to speak.
Jun Lie looked at her and muttered to himself, "Jiuyue, if I die from poisoning like this, it would be such a pity. I still haven't married... the girl of my heart."
In the room where candlelight flickered, two figures, one black and one white, one sitting and one lying, seemed to be petrified. The room fell into silence, and even the sounds outside could be faintly heard by her ears.
"No, you'll be fine. Everything is interdependent and mutually exclusive. We will definitely find an antidote." Xiao Jiuyue pretended not to notice the affection swirling in Jun Lie's eyes. She said, "Hua Qing has read your fortune. By tomorrow at the latest, you'll be safe!"
"Hua Qing, a member of the Lingnan Hua Clan, is well versed in numerology. If she says you're fine, then you're definitely fine." Xiao Jiuyue glanced at Hua Qing, who was sitting on the ground at the door, and asked, "Hua Qing."
"The eldest lady is right. Your Highness the Third Prince is a man of good fortune. Everything will be fine tomorrow." Hua Qing stood up and moved closer. The scene in front of him was like a painting. The weak Third Prince and the eldest lady who was sitting by the bed and visiting the boudoir at night... no, the eldest lady who was visiting the bedroom at night, aren't these two people a perfect match?
"Third Prince, where there is sincerity, even metal and stone can be moved!" Hua Qing resumed his mysterious look as a fortune teller.
"Then, can I get what I want?" Jun Lie's words were more of a question to Xiao Jiuyue than to Hua Qing.
"Yes!" Hua Qing answered directly: "Your Highness the Third Prince will definitely marry the girl of his dreams."
"Jiuyue, you said she is proficient in numerology, so what you said must be true. I will definitely be able to marry the girl of my dreams, right?" Jun Lie held her hand, his eyes full of expectation.
Xiao Jiuyue was dazed for a moment. The Third Prince's appearance completely met her aesthetic standards. His face was pale and pitiful, and his glass-colored eyes were filled with expectation, making people want to pick all the stars in the sky and give them to him.
"Jiuyue." Jun Lie's hands involuntarily increased their strength.
Xiao Jiuyue's thoughts were pulled back, and her eyes gradually became clear: "That depends on who the Third Prince wants to marry. Your Highness is of noble status, and there are countless people who want to marry you. However, there are also some who don't care about status."
Xiao Jiuyue's words seemed to echo his words: "For example, some girls just want a free and easy life. Maybe they don't have overwhelming power, but as long as their spouse truly loves each other and their family is safe, that's the greatest blessing."
"Jiuyue." Jun Lie's lips moved, but before he could say anything, Xiao Jiuyue interrupted him, "Third Prince, you will be safe." She lowered her eyes and pushed Jun Lie's hand away.
After saying that, Xiao Jiuyue took Hua Qing away.
Before leaving, Hua Qing turned back to Jun Lie and encouraged him, "Good luck, Third Prince. You will definitely marry the girl of your dreams."
Xiao Jiuyue glanced sideways, and Hua Qing immediately shut her mouth, pretending not to say a word. Soon, both of them left.
"Master, Miss Xiao has been gone for a long time." Lan Ying came over with the boiled medicine. God knows how hard it was for him to pretend that he didn't know Miss Xiao and the others had arrived. Lan Ying handed the medicine forward and whispered, "Master, is Miss Xiao particularly distressed to see you so weak?"
"I told you that the self-torture trick works. When I marry Miss Xiao, don't forget to give me a big red seal!" Lan Ying grinned, but in the middle of his smile, Jun Lie hit him with a chestnut: "It's useless."
"Pour out the medicine." Jun Lie rolled over and sat up. He didn't look weak at all as he had just shown in front of Xiao Jiuyue. He frowned and covered the arrow wound.
"Master, although you're not poisoned, the arrow wound is real." Lan Ying put down the medicine bowl, helped him sit up, and said, "Master, this medicine is to relieve the poison in your body. You'd better drink it quickly!"
"The prince will bring the medicine tomorrow morning at the latest. This medicine is fine." Jun Lie covered his wound and thought of Xiao Jiuyue's voice in his mind: A free life, no overwhelming power, and a true relationship between husband and wife?
Isn't this a disguised rejection of him?
"Hmm." Jun Lie moved, causing the wound to ache, making him even more uncomfortable. He glanced at Lan Ying and said, "We'll practice an extra hour tomorrow."
"Ah..." Lan Ying's face suddenly changed when he heard that he had to practice for an extra hour. He said, "Master, I still have to make medicine for you tomorrow. What did I do wrong? Otherwise, Master, just tell me directly."
"Hmph." Jun Lie snorted coldly and lay down again. Jun Lie closed his eyes: Born into a royal family, he was destined to have nothing to do with an ordinary life. Could he give the girl he loved the life she wanted in the future?
