Chapter 100 Did I Hurt You?
"You'll find out in a moment."
Murong Che said, then turned to Wang Defa and ordered, "Arrange the Lingyun Palace."
After returning to Lingyun Palace on the dragon chariot, Murong Che carried Xue Youli into the bedroom in front of the servants.
"Banxia, help your master bathe and change clothes immediately."
"yes!"
Banxia immediately brought hot water and helped Xue Youli wash and change clothes.
When she saw that Xue Youli's changed skirt was stained with blood, she felt so distressed that tears fell down her face.
"Master, Lian Xin must have been instigated by Concubine Xue! Why didn't the Emperor convict Concubine Xue? Isn't he the one who dotes on you the most? How could he let Concubine Xue off so easily?"
Xue Youli changed into clean pajamas and raised her hand to wipe away Banxia's tears. "Silly girl, the emperor must have his reasons for doing this. Besides, you said it was Concubine Xue, do you have evidence?"
"Your servant..."
Banxia bit her lower lip and said angrily, "Even if there is no evidence, even I can see that it was Concubine Xue who murdered you. Your Majesty is so wise, how could he not see it?"
Xue Youli was amused by her words, "You are right. If it was really Xue Qingyao who did it, even you can see it, how could the emperor be completely unaware of it? So, the emperor must have his reasons for doing this."
"But you are like this..."
Banxia said this, and then she looked at Xue Youli's belly. Her nose felt sour again. "Master, you are not really having a miscarriage, are you?"
She served Xue Youli closely every day and knew that the emperor often came to Lingyun Palace. When she saw the bloodstains on Xue Youli's skirt just now, she was completely shocked.
Xue Youli listened to her choking voice, raised his hands to hold her childish face, and coaxed her, "My dear Banxia, please don't cry, your master is just having her period."
"ah?"
Banxia still had tears in her eyes. When she heard this, her eyes widened in surprise.
"Pfft!"
Xue Youli raised his index finger to make a silent gesture and whispered to her, "This is a secret between us."
Banxia pursed her lips and nodded vigorously, "Master, rest assured, I will keep this secret to myself!"
Xue Youli looked at her cute little movements and raised her eyebrows, "Are you not crying now?"
Banxia wiped away the tears from her eyes shyly, "I'll go get you a kettle of hot water to warm your stomach!"
Xue Youli raised his hand and rubbed her head, then said with a smile, "I'm fine. It's getting late. Go and have some rest. The emperor is here with me."
"Yes, yes, yes! Then I won't be a nuisance here!"
Tonight, Xue Youli deliberately made her face very white in order to make it look more like a miscarriage.
Now that she has finished washing up, the powder on her face has been washed off, revealing her rosy face.
Banxia looked at her rosy face and finally felt relieved.
After Banxia left, Xue Youli looked up and saw Murong Che leaning against the door frame.
He also changed his clothes, wearing a dark green brocade robe and a jade belt around his waist. With his extremely handsome face, he looked like a noble and elegant young man.
"emperor."
Xue Youli bowed towards the man and saluted gracefully.
Murong Che took her by the hand, pulled her to the soft couch in the room and asked her to sit down.
"Put your hand over here."
"ah,?"
Xue Youli didn't know what he wanted to do, but she still extended her right hand obediently.
Murong Che glanced at the hand she stretched out and said lightly, "It's not this hand, it's the other one."
Xue Youli met the man's gaze, hesitated for a moment, then raised the back of her left hand, which was behind her back, in front of him.
Murong Che pinched her fingers with his big hand and turned her hand over with her palm facing up.
Suddenly, the wound on her palm was exposed to the man.
Her hands were very white and tender. After washing the cut on the palm, there was a two or three inch long wound left, which was indeed quite shocking to look at.
Xue Youli saw the man's frown and said quickly, "Although the wound looks long, it is actually just a superficial wound. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten it."
This is indeed just a superficial wound. Once the wound scabs over, it will heal in a few days.
But Murong Che didn't think so. He took out a white jade porcelain bottle from his waist.
"This is a golden medicine that Dr. Cheng personally prepared for wounds. It is very effective."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xue Youli stretched out his uninjured right hand and was about to take the white jade porcelain bottle.
The man suddenly raised his hand upwards, leaving her hand empty.
"I'll apply medicine for you."
Murong Che opened the golden medicine and gently applied it to her injured area without waiting for her reply.
The cool, clear ointment was applied to the wound, causing a slight burning sensation.
Xue Youli's hand trembled and he instinctively wanted to pull his hand back.
"Don't move."
Murong Che slightly increased the strength of his big hand that was pinching her fingers and held her hand tightly.
He lifted the curtain and looked at her, "Did I hurt you?"
He looked into her eyes patiently, and there was a hint of heartache in his tone that he himself was not even aware of.
"No, it doesn't hurt too much." Xue Youli was not some delicate and delicate lady, so she didn't take this minor injury seriously at all.
"I'll be gentler." Murong Che was obviously much gentler when applying the medicine to her. After applying the medicine, he thought for a while and blew gently a few times on Xue Youli's palm.
The warm and moist air blew into the palm of her hand, and the tingling sensation made Xue Youli's ears feel numb for no reason.
My heartstrings seemed to be plucked by soft feathers, making them itchy.
"hiss!"
Xue Youli was afraid of being itchy, so she reflexively wanted to take her hand away.
But the man held her so tightly that she couldn't move at all.
Murong Che heard her gasp and raised his eyebrows, "Does it still hurt?"
He had used as little force as possible when applying the medicine, but he still hurt her.
Xue Youli raised her eyes and looked at the handsome face in front of her. Somewhere in her heart softened and she felt an inexplicable palpitation. "No, it doesn't hurt."
[Why is he looking at me with such disgusting eyes? It makes me feel terribly uncomfortable.]
Murong Che saw her turn her head uncomfortably and look away, and curled the corners of his lips, "The medicine has been applied, let's go to sleep."
sleep?
Xue Youli quickly covered her lower abdomen and said, "Your Majesty, I am not feeling well today and cannot sleep with you. How about you... eh!"
Before she could finish, Murong Che picked her up from the couch, stretched out his long legs, walked to the bed in two or three steps, and put her on the bed.
In order to prevent her from having any more wild thoughts, the man immediately emphasized, "When I say sleep, I mean pure sleep."
After saying that, he also got on the bed, stretched out his long arms, and held Xue Youli in his arms.
Xue Youli lay in the man's warm embrace, enveloped by the clear masculine scent, and unexpectedly, she felt very solid and at ease.
[No, no! Xue Youli, wake up! You can't be fooled by the temporary beauty of a man! You can be attracted by his money, you can be attracted by his body, but you must not be tempted. If you are tempted, you will lose! You must always remember your goal of entering the palace. You only seek glory and wealth, not a trace of true love! ]
[Don’t forget! You are going to be the queen! After your period is over, it’s okay to have sex with him, but don’t be emotional! ]
Now that she's on his pirate ship, how can he let her get off?
Murong Che listened to the advice she gave herself in her heart, his peach blossom eyes narrowed, and his eyes became darker, "Sleep quietly, no more noise!"
Xue Youli was preparing herself mentally when a man's voice suddenly came from above her head.
She raised her little face and blinked blankly, "Ah? Your Majesty, I didn't say anything... Um!"
She had only said half of her words when Murong Che lowered his head and covered her mouth.
Well, it's much quieter now.
