Chapter 18 Are you afraid of me?
"My Lord, wake up!"
"Xiao Yuheng, Xiao Yuheng?"
"Lord Dog, wake up?"
Damn, he seems to have really fainted!
Shen Yue had not expected this to happen at all and was somewhat panicked.
But fortunately, Sifang City is Xiao Yuheng's territory, and he and his shadow guards always carry a flare when traveling.
As the saying goes, "One arrow pierces the clouds, and thousands of troops rush to meet you."
Ah, bah, now is not the time to talk nonsense.
In short, as long as they send out a signal, people from the palace will come to support them immediately.
Thinking of this, Shen Yue took out the flare from her arms and was about to pull the switch, but the man grabbed her wrist.
"Shen Er, don't make a sound."
"...So you're not dizzy?"
Didn’t you also hear me calling you a dog prince just now?
If you do this, I will be very embarrassed, brother!
"But if we don't ask for help, it will delay the prince's treatment." Shen Yue looked embarrassed.
In fact, she was quite strong, so it was not difficult for her to carry him on the horse. But the situation was special now, and she was the only one with Xiao Yuheng. If anything happened to him in her hands, not to mention not being able to get the antidote, the people in Cheng Wang Mansion would probably chop her into meat sauce at all costs, which was not a situation she would like to see.
So, she still tried to persuade him.
"Your Highness, your illness is urgent and could be serious or minor. It could be a simple cold, pneumonia, or even fatal in severe cases. You can't hide your illness and avoid seeing a doctor. Have your subordinates call the shadow guards, or we can go find Miss Cheng. She knows how to make medicine, so she can definitely treat you..."
"No, I'm not going anywhere. You take me back to the palace." Xiao Yuheng seemed to have little strength left, and his voice was almost inaudible.
“…Alright.”
Maybe people become stubborn when they are sick. Shen Yue didn't want to argue with him anymore. After all, if she delayed any further, she was really afraid that he would die.
She turned around, let Xiao Yuheng put his arms around her neck, and with a flick of her wrist, she brought him onto the horse.
"Sit down, my lord, we are about to set off."
Xiao Yuheng snorted lightly in response.
His body was getting colder and colder, and his strength was getting weaker and weaker. Shen Yue had no choice but to pull his hands over and fold them in front of her waist, while she rode the horse with one hand.
"Your Highness, most people who catch a cold will have a fever, but your body is cold. It seems it's not just a cold."
Xiao Yuheng crouched behind Shen Yue and opened his eyes a crack. "It's not a cold, it's a cold poison."
As he spoke, he followed the temperature and unconsciously leaned his head against Shen Yue's smooth and white neck, rubbing forward greedily.
"Cold poison? No way, it's so ridiculous."
Shen Yue found it a little unbelievable.
I remember there was a similar scene in her pornographic book. The hero was poisoned by a cold, and the heroine took off her clothes to cool him down with her body in order to relieve him. Then the two of them naturally had sex...
But she just wrote it randomly!
Things like cold poison can only appear in novels and TV dramas, how could it appear in reality?
But then she thought again, don’t time travel and imaginary dynasties only appear in novels and TV dramas? Didn’t they really happen to her?
From this perspective, the cold poison doesn't seem so strange.
Shen Yue's thoughts were flying, but the man behind him kept pulling his thoughts back.
He was greedy for the warmth of Shen Yue's body. Not only did his arms tighten around her, but his head also lowered lower, his cold lips almost touching her neck...
“Chen Er, this king is so cold…”
Of course Shen Yue knew he was cold, because the breath he blew on her neck was cold, so itchy, wow...
No matter what, she would never use her body temperature to warm him, even if she was beaten to death!
"Your Majesty, hold on a little longer, the palace is just ahead!"
Shen Yue felt that he was almost losing consciousness, so she turned her head and tried to wake him up.
It didn't matter that she took a look, she actually saw a layer of frost on Xiao Yuheng's eyebrows.
Oh my god, is this so cool?
Little did she know, something even cooler was yet to come.
As time went by, more and more frost appeared on Xiao Yuheng's eyebrows and face, and the roots of his eyebrows had even begun to turn white. He really couldn't bear it anymore.
"Dodge the shadow guards and go straight into the secret room. You know the way in..." he whispered.
"I...I...I don't know. What is your Highness saying? How come I don't understand?"
Shen Yue was startled and subconsciously started to play dumb.
How come this bastard knows everything? He even knows that she can open the secret room. Is he really a human being?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"
The man didn't respond. Shen Yue looked back and saw that he had really fainted.
From what he said, there should be something in the secret room that can relieve the cold poison, so she has to move the person there as soon as possible.
Shen Yue felt in the saddle bag and found a thin cloak. Without thinking, she wrapped it around Xiao Yuheng and carried him off the horse.
Just like last time, she used a small stone to activate the shadow guard's sleeping acupoint and entered the secret room without much effort.
Xiao Yuheng's secret room was not very big, and the layout was simpler than expected. Apart from the night pearls for lighting, a row of antique shelves, and a few jars of wine, there was only a jade bed.
Shen Yue went forward and touched it, and found that the jade bed was indeed warm.
She first laid Xiao Yuheng on the warm jade bed, then secretly went to the kitchen to boil water and warm a pot of wine. After feeding him the hot wine, she wiped the frost off his face with a hot towel.
"I've done everything I should do. If you still can't make it, don't blame me."
"You're so handsome, it's a pity to die like this..."
She wiped her eyes while talking to herself. Her eyelids grew heavy unconsciously and she fell asleep without knowing when.
When she woke up again, she was lying on the warm jade bed.
Outside the bed, a man was quietly meditating and regulating his breathing. His back was as straight as a pine tree, and even through his clothes, one could feel the outline of his firm muscles.
Shen Yue had to admit that every aspect of this man met her aesthetic standards: beautiful facial features, a clear jawline, large hands with distinct joints, and long hair like a waterfall...
Wait! His hair... turned completely white!
Shen Yue was in a trance for a moment, then exclaimed: "Xiao Yuheng..."
"The King is here."
The man slowly opened his eyes and turned to face her, "Shen Er, are you afraid of me?"
Shen Yue was about to say no, but she froze in place when she met his gaze.
Perhaps it was the effect of the cold poison, not only did Xiao Yuheng's hair and eyebrows turn into snow-white silver, but even the color of his eyes changed!
Beyond the originally clear light brown pupils, the circle of pupils was stained with a strange red. The red was looming, sometimes like an undercurrent surging beneath the surface of a lake, sometimes like a burning flame.
White hair, red eyes... Xiao Yuheng is so handsome!
