As the dim candlelight shone, Xiao Ziwu saw that his hands were covered in scarlet blood.
"My darling is injured?" Xiao Ziwu was shocked!
These words struck him like a thunderclap. Shi Que, disregarding his still-bleeding arm, rushed over.
Xiao Ziwu's pupils constricted, and he held his breath, only daring to let her lean gently against him, not daring to move at all.
"Where are you hurt, young lady?" Shi Que asked, wiping away her tears, feeling both ashamed and remorseful.
The two then noticed that Tianyun's lips were white from biting them, and her forehead was covered in cold sweat, making her look as if she had just been pulled out of a hot spring.
Xiao Ziwu instantly lost his temper, shouting, "Quickly, go and find a doctor!"
Shi Que nodded in alarm and ran out as fast as the wind.
Xiao Ziwu forced himself to calm down, bent down and picked her up, placing her on the bed. Seeing her trembling pitifully, he went over and closed all four windows.
He washed his blood-red hands clean in the washbasin, then quickly returned to the bedside to be with her.
I've never seen my baby look so weak before.
Xiao Ziwu felt as if his heart was being torn apart by hyenas, a dull pain rising within him as if his flesh and bones were being ripped apart. He loosely held the woman's hand, then gently stroked her cheek, picking up two strands of hair damp with cold sweat and tucking them behind her ears, trying to make her feel better.
"Where does it hurt? Tell me."
His Highness's voice was like that of someone warmed by the winter sun, carrying a heart-warming gentleness, completely unlike his previous angry demeanor. Tianyun breathed a sigh of relief.
A slight smile appeared on her rosy cheeks as she said shyly, "There's no need to call a doctor..." Her voice was so weak it sounded like a mosquito's wings, and it was somewhat feeble.
Even when you're injured and bleeding, you're still acting so recklessly?
Xiao Ziwu suddenly pinched the tip of her nose.
She was always so confident and fearless in front of him, easily making him surrender.
But what can we do?
...
He could only hide his deep affection and tenderness. He gently persuaded her, guiding his hand under the covers to touch her slightly cold abdomen. "Listen to me, I can only feel at ease after the doctor has examined me."
Tianyun was wrapped up in layers of clothing like a silkworm, her eyes glistening with moisture as she said, "I've had my first period..."
The young woman's delicate voice sounded as if it had been choked, and her soft murmurs were almost inaudible, but Xiao Ziwu, who was leaning close to her, could hear them clearly.
Even the man's porcelain-like face was flushed, his usual cold and indifferent demeanor shattered.
This is a private matter for a young woman...
Although he didn't know much about it, he knew it was something he was ashamed to share with others.
The skin beneath his palm was icy cold through her robe. Xiao Ziwu suppressed his shyness and instinctively removed his shoes and socks, then pulled the woman, who was wrapped up like a silkworm in his arms. His palm pressed against her clothes under the covers, and a steady stream of heat flowed into the woman's waist and abdomen.
"Does it feel any better?"
Tianyun felt so comfortable in the warmth that she couldn't help but drift into a drowsy state. Upon hearing this, she could only nod slightly in a daze.
Xiao Ziwu breathed a sigh of relief, "Good boy, go to sleep."
Seeing her fall into a deep sleep, Xiao Ziwu relieved his worries, propped his elbows up and looked at her intently, while his other hand did not dare to stop for a moment, and he pressed his palm against her lower abdomen to circulate his qi.
As his mind relaxed, he felt a secret joy flow from his limbs into his heart.
The onset of menstruation signifies the budding of a young woman's beauty, and I am fortunate to be a part of it, witnessing the moment when the bud matures.
He couldn't help but lightly kiss her sleeping face, a fleeting touch that left no room for his overwhelming joy.
※※※※
With His Highness around, Tianyun felt an overwhelming sense of security and slept soundly until dawn before finally waking up.
When she opened her eyes, she saw that His Highness was still in the same position she had been in when she fell asleep, and the warm current in her waist and abdomen was still flowing continuously.
Tianyun's two watery eyes nearly welled up with tears again. All the fear and anxiety she had endured throughout the night was finally relieved at this moment.
Her half-crying look was truly pitiful. Xiao Ziwu sighed softly and gently touched the top of her head, "How could you be so bold?"
Not only was she completely unrelated to the ladies of noble families, but she also dared to chase him all the way to the border alone!
Oh, so he wasn't exactly alone; he also had a female bodyguard who wasn't very capable.
Fortunately, Shi Que couldn't hear his inner thoughts, otherwise she would have burst into tears: Can't you give me some face?
This reprimand was unavoidable. The young woman affectionately nuzzled the prince's warm hand, and feeling guilty, she smiled ingratiatingly at him, not daring to utter a single word.
If His Highness hadn't arrived in time last night, I'm afraid I would have been dead by now!
Seeing her eyes darting around without saying a word, Xiao Ziwu smiled silently, pinched the soft flesh on her cheek, and wouldn't let her go.
"Hmm? Say something."
Tianyun wrapped his arms around Jie Jin's waist and leaned against him. Suddenly, he heard roosters crowing and dogs barking outside, and the morning star was setting, indicating that dawn was about to break.
Your Highness should return to camp.
She reluctantly raised her eyes and asked the question that concerned her most, "Will Your Highness send someone to escort me back?"
Tianyun was terrified. If he were sent back, he feared he would be kept under strict surveillance by his father, Old Master Shangguan, and wouldn't even be allowed to step out of the mansion!
"Will you obediently go back?" Xiao Ziwu raised his slanted eyebrows and subconsciously asked her a question.
He was far away at the border and couldn't keep her there. Even if he could send her back once, she would sneak out again. There was no way to stop her.
I'm afraid I'll be even more worried then, wondering if she'll get cold, hungry, or tired on the way, or if she'll be threatened, and her innocence will be in jeopardy, just like last night.
Just thinking about it made him lose control. It would be safer to take her with him and keep her by his side, protecting her and easing his worries!
