A few drops of blood splattered onto the little bird.
Yuandan fluttered her wings, wanting to go out, but Xiao Changqi reached out and pressed her down.
She had to calm down temporarily, but her blood seemed to have turned cold.
It wasn't until they returned to the palace that Yuan Dan shakily crawled out of Xiao Changqi's arms.
The imperial physician was stunned when he saw the little bird crawling out of the emperor's clothes.
Xiao Changqi glanced at him indifferently, and he quickly looked away before continuing to bandage the wounds of this ill-tempered emperor.
The assassin's sword didn't penetrate very deeply, and it didn't injure any bones or tendons, but it was still a truly shocking sight.
On New Year's Day, she squatted on the man's lap and watched as the imperial physician applied medicine to Xiao Changqi and then wrapped him with bandages.
Xiao Changqi waved his hand, and the imperial physicians and palace servants withdrew.
After the last eunuch left and closed the door, Xiao Changqi called to the little bird, "Yuanyuan."
Yuan Dan stared intently at him, then suddenly asked, "Are you doing this on purpose?"
Xiao Changqi, without changing his expression, retorted, "What do you mean by 'deliberately'?"
"Intentionally injuring yourself."
Not to mention that he was protected by so many guards, the man himself was quite skilled in martial arts, and she did not believe that the man would be so easily injured.
Xiao Changqi lowered his eyes slightly and asked in a deep voice, "What do you think?"
Yuandan fell silent. Dundun walked to the pillow next to the man, squatted down, and buried her head in her wings.
Xiao Changqi stared at the little bird in silence for a long time before finally asking, "What wish did you make at the temple today?"
"I don't remember," came the bird's muffled voice.
Just as the bird finished speaking, a muffled groan suddenly rang out.
Yuan Dan suddenly looked up at the man, only to see him clutching his chest with a pained expression.
"Xiao Changqi, what happened to you? Are you alright?" Yuan Dan immediately became anxious and rushed over, but was unable to check the man's injuries.
Xiao Changqi caught the little bird and rubbed her head: "It's alright."
Yuan Dan then realized she had been tricked, and immediately glared at him in dissatisfaction, struggling to get out of his grasp.
"Little Yuanyuan." Xiao Changqi held down the little bird, his tone helpless.
Yuandan was angry with him and emphasized, "My name is Yuandan."
“Yuan Yuan…” Xiao Changqi called her in a hoarse voice.
New Year:"……"
What's the difference between this and Yuanyuan?
On New Year's Day, I didn't want to talk to him anymore, so I squatted in his palm, turned my head away, and looked elsewhere.
Xiao Changqi: "Little Yuanyuan, my wound hurts."
On New Year's Day, she took a deep breath. Even though she knew the man was deliberately using a self-inflicted injury to soften her heart, she still couldn't help but worry about him.
"Why are you so eager to know what I wished for?" Yuan Dan glared at the man, annoyed.
Xiao Changqi fell silent again.
New Year's Day: "I really just prayed for my parents, hoping they can be well and healthy in the other world."
Xiao Changqi responded with a faint "Mm".
I don't know if they believed it or not.
Half a second later, the man asked again, "Don't you want to go back?"
New Year:"??"
Didn't you already ask this question once?
“Your Majesty, I am not like you. I said I would not go back, and I will not go back.”
Xiao Changqi raised an eyebrow: "What makes you look like me?"
"Unlike you, you're such a big pig's trotter!" Yuan Dan said this and quickly flew to the side.
Xiao Changqi: "..."
The tyrant frowned and pondered for a while, not understanding what "big pig's trotter" meant.
Not long after New Year's Day, she flew back, perched on his shoulder, and asked, "Your Majesty, you've been wondering if I'll come back. Do you really not want me to leave?"
The little bird tilted its head and looked at him with an extremely innocent expression.
