“I didn’t ask you to save me. If you really want me to be grateful, then find that Yan Taizu and kill him. If you can get this done, my conscience will definitely be clear.”
Cen Xi never cared how angry Shen Jinchen was. If he died of anger, she would be one less burden. Besides, she didn't care about life or death. A person who has died once can be reincarnated. What was she afraid of? She just hoped to be reincarnated into a better life next time.
As for conscience, she really doesn't have any.
"vomit!"
For some reason, Shen Jinchen suddenly saw Cen Xi vomit a mouthful of blood.
"What? Don't try to scam me! I didn't do anything to you!"
Cen Xi was startled and retreated repeatedly.
"Couldn't you help me up? I was seriously injured saving you, and yet you hurt me with your words time and time again. But I just can't, I just can't bear to give up on you, you heartless woman! Ha!"
Shen Jinchen struggled to stay upright, his lips were extremely pale, and a mouthful of blood gushed from his mouth.
Seeing Cen Xi retreat, his eyes showed even more hurt, his body trembled slightly, and he collapsed.
"Hello!"
Cen Xi called out, and after a few seconds, the other person fell into a coma. It really wasn't a staged accident. Only then did Cen Xi get out of bed, and despite her serious injuries, she helped the other person back onto the bed.
After carefully unbuttoning the other person's clothes, she did indeed discover a large wound.
Cen Xi's heart skipped a beat, as if she felt a pang of heartache. Then, in a panic, she opened the medicine bottle that the other person had just used on her, sprinkled medicine all over his wound, and then found a bandage and carefully bandaged him up.
She checked her forehead and found no fever, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the other person's eyes and brows, Cen Xi couldn't help but recall the past she had shared with him.
This person is usually assertive, so it's rare to see him so calm and serene.
She gently stroked his face, inwardly teasing him:
You even said I have no conscience. If it weren't for you, would I have come to the place I dislike the most, and have to reclaim my identity to fight with you?
If you keep bothering me, you don't have to be in so much pain.
After the two of them played around for a while, it was already evening. Cen Xi observed the person for a while and found that he seemed to be asleep, breathing heavily, and did not look like he was unconscious at all.
Cen Xi had no choice but to accept her fate, lay down next to her, and continue sleeping.
As Cen Xi breathed sweetly in the dead of night, Shen Jinchen slowly woke up. In the darkness, he looked at the person lying next to him, a slight smile playing on his lips. Then, he used his long arm to pull the other person into his embrace before closing his eyes and going back to sleep.
He seemed to have figured out how to get along with Cen Xi.
The next day, Cen Xi saw herself lying comfortably in the other person's arms and couldn't help but laugh at herself before getting out of bed in a huff.
As for blushing or anything like that, they've done far more shameless things, so there's no need for that.
She was already able to walk, and no matter what, she had to go to the palace today. If things continued this way, she and the person lying next to her might be entangled in a never-ending entanglement.
She has never been one to admit defeat, and she has always liked to take the initiative. Therefore, she must have the status of the eldest princess, no matter how much she despised it in the past.
Cen Xi got out of bed and was about to call Qingyi to help her wash up when Shen Jinchen opened his eyes:
"woke up!"
"Um!"
Cen Xi turned to look at him and responded.
"Do you still stand by what you promised yesterday?"
Shen Jinchen showed no outward emotion, but only he knew that he was not calm when he asked the question.
"Since you insist on forcing us together, what's wrong with me agreeing as long as you don't regret it later?"
Cen Xi raised an eyebrow and smiled.
"Are you planning to go to the palace today?"
Shen Jinchen wanted to confirm one more thing.
"Yes, didn't we agree on this yesterday? If you go back on your word, I can go back on my word too."
Cen Xi glanced at the person on the bed and said.
"I didn't say I was going back on my word. We'll go to the palace together later."
When Shen Jinchen got up, he looked at the wound that had been re-bandaged, smiled silently, and got out of bed. Fortunately, he was smart enough not to argue with her yesterday.
"Okay, that works too!"
Cen Xi gave him a meaningful look and nodded.
Neither of them spoke again after that, and they went about getting dressed and washing up.
After breakfast, Shen Jinchen finally spoke:
"I'll come pick you up after court. You don't know anyone in the palace, and I'm afraid something might happen."
"Just take me with you. It's not worth the trip back and forth. I saw Consort Liu before I fainted that day. Just take me directly to her palace."
It wasn't that Cen Xi didn't trust Shen Jinchen, but going back and forth was a waste of time and unnecessary.
"Alright, let's sign this marriage certificate first."
Shen Jinchen handed her a piece of paper and a pen.
Cen Xi was also very decisive. He simply took the calligraphy and quickly signed it with two strokes.
Q: "Is it okay now?"
"Alright, steward, take this to the government office."
After handing the marriage certificate to the housekeeper, Shen Jinchen smiled, stood up, and took Cen Xi's hand.
Cen Xi smiled at him, then naturally took his hand and walked out of the mansion together.
After traveling for about the time it takes to drink three cups of tea in a carriage, they arrived at the palace gate.
After helping Cen Xi out of the carriage, Shen Jinchen indeed took her to Consort Liu's residence first.
Consort Liu was delighted when she saw Prime Minister Shen appear in her palace with a young girl.
He pulled Cen Xi over and said directly:
"Young lady, you are exceptionally brave, truly a general. If it weren't for your timely rescue, I and His Majesty would likely be in grave danger. It was His Majesty who summoned you to the palace today."
"Your Highness, His Majesty told me yesterday that he wanted to see my fiancée, so I brought her into the palace. I hope Your Highness will take good care of her."
Just as Cen Xi was about to reply, Shen Jinchen spoke first.
"Prime Minister Shen has always looked down on women, but I never expected that he would be able to get married in the end. Congratulations! Don't worry, no one can bully her here."
Consort Liu was always gentle and polite, and spoke in a soft and gentle tone. Since Shen Jinchen had answered on behalf of Cen Xi, she did not ask any further questions.
"The morning court session is about to begin. You should hurry to the court. The Imperial Concubine is fine, so don't worry about me."
Cen Xi winked at Shen Jinchen gently and said with a smile.
"good!"
Shen Jinchen gave her a cryptic look, then turned and left the palace.
Consort Liu stared at Shen Jinchen's retreating figure with amusement for a long time before speaking to Cen Xi:
“Young lady, you are so lucky. Prime Minister Shen is the man all the unmarried women in the capital want to marry. Our sixth, seventh, and eighth princesses all like him. But in the end, he likes a girl like you the most.”
"Your Highness, what kind of girl do you think I am?"
Cen Xi asked with a smile.
"She has a lot of spirit, and in every gesture, there is a kind of... a chivalrous spirit that is quick to retaliate and quick to forgive, like a female knight-errant who has fallen to earth. I don't know if I'm describing her correctly?"
Consort Liu said with a smile.
"A female knight-errant? Does Your Highness mean I'm very fierce?"
Cen Xi couldn't help but smile and ask, "This is the first time someone has described me like this."
