Chapter 15 Secret
Xiao Linyuan didn't understand why he suddenly became happy again. Wasn't he ashamed of it but proud of it?
He coughed lightly and said, "Take the leftovers back tomorrow morning."
If you taste it slowly, you will always be able to taste what he means!
Unexpectedly, Song Zijin became even happier, and looked at Xiao Linyuan with a smile, "Thank you, Your Highness~"
"?"
Xiao Linyuan found that this girl was really stupid, so he simply stopped dwelling on this topic.
He doesn't like sweets, but today he ate a lot for no apparent reason.
Song Zijin put away the food box and took out a set of silver needles from the secret compartment underneath.
"Your Highness, you have recovered well. You can drain the poisonous blood appropriately."
Xiao Linyuan is quick to follow advice.
As the two of them got closer, the fragrance on Song Zijin's body became more and more obvious. His breathing quickened slightly, and he felt comfortable all over.
Suddenly, I felt a pain in my hand. I lowered my eyes and saw that she had poked a hole in my index finger.
Fingers as slender and tender as spring onions gently stroked the tip of his index finger, and streams of black blood flowed out of the wound and dripped onto the white handkerchief she was covering with.
There is a bunch of green bamboo embroidered on the handkerchief. The stitching is very delicate, and each bamboo is strong, upright, green and straight.
Generally, only men like handkerchiefs embroidered with bamboo, but her preference is a little unusual.
"Does it hurt?" Song Zijin suddenly asked.
Xiao Linyuan realized that he had lost his composure and quickly regained his composure, focusing on his fingers. "It doesn't hurt."
"That's good." Song Zijin breathed a sigh of relief. Holding his hand like this, she could clearly feel the protruding blood vessels and blue veins on the back of his hand.
She was afraid that the Lord God of War would be displeased and punch her away.
Xiao Linyuan didn't know what was going on in her little head, but instead noticed the wound on her finger.
There were one to three tiny needle marks on each of the five fingers of her left hand. They were very small, but her skin was so white that even the smallest wounds were clearly visible.
As if he thought of something, Xiao Linyuan glanced at the food box next to him and his face darkened.
"What happened to your finger?"
Song Zijin's whole body froze, his breathing seemed to be frozen, and he didn't dare to make any movement.
I just promised not to lie yesterday, but today I was caught red-handed. I’m done for!
Xiao Linyuan squeezed his eyes shut for a moment before saying coldly, "Exhale! Are you planning to suffocate yourself and then blame it on me?"
Hearing his tone soften a little, Song Zijin dared to take a deep breath and looked at him timidly, like a frightened little animal.
"It's a white lie, so it's not really a lie..."
Xiao Linyuan lowered his eyes and glanced at her, "Oh?"
This simple word carried a heavy weight on Song Zijin's face, as if it was saying: You'd better explain yourself, or you'll be in trouble!
This is the majesty of the superior.
Song Zijin was just thankful that he was not Xiao Linyuan's enemy soldier, otherwise he would have died miserably.
"Actually, there is no magic medicine..."
Xiao Linyuan narrowed his eyes, his pupils as deep as the abyss, "So, you bleed yourself to save me?"
Song Zijin forced a smile, "I was afraid that you would know it was human blood and dare not use it, so I made it into peach blossom pastry. I didn't expect that you would not like it..."
"Stupid!" Xiao Linyuan exuded a cold aura.
Song Zijin thought that he could not accept the guilt of eating raw meat and drinking blood, so he shrank his neck hard.
"My blood is immune to all poisons. Although I can't tell what the specific poison was, after I bit my finger and fed you my blood on the first day, you were clearly in much better condition the next day. This is enough to prove that my blood is effective!"
Compared to the guilt of drinking human blood, isn't it more important to stay alive?
She didn't understand why he was so angry.
Xiao Linyuan saw tears gathering in her eyes, and his irritability dissipated immediately.
He sighed deeply and said weakly, "It's not wrong for you to use human blood to save others."
Song Zi was even more confused, "Then why are you so angry?"
He looked like he was about to hit someone just now.
"Your blood is more precious than any medicine worth a thousand gold. If so, you must protect yourself well. Even if you must bleed, you shouldn't choose a place as obvious as your fingers. If I were a bad person and locked you up and bled you all day long, what would you do?"
After hearing this, Song Zijin felt even more wronged and held back her tears, "Only my family knew this secret. I never wanted anyone else to know, not even Xiao Jin."
If Xiao Jin knew, he would not let her come to the palace.
Xiao Linyuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. It was rare for him to feel so powerless.
But she is a pampered girl. Not only can she not be beaten or scolded, she can't be scared either.
He clearly didn't know that she was the one who cherished her life, but he looked aggrieved and accusing, as if he was the one who was wrong.
"I'm not your family."
Song Zijin blew on his left cheek, then on his right cheek, and finally sighed: "Your Highness, you are too smart."
It was also her own fault. Her cooking skills were not good enough to suppress the taste of blood.
The blood on the fingertips turned from black to red, and the pain gradually increased, but it was still within an acceptable range.
After calming down, Xiao Linyuan felt a little annoyed. Why was he so angry just now?
She is just a little girl who knows nothing about the world. Just give her some advice. It’s up to her whether she listens or not. All I have to do is to have a clear conscience.
What will her future be like and how will it relate to him?
But when he thought about what she said when they first met, such as "Your Highness is a great hero, he must be a person with broad vision and open mind", Xiao Linyuan felt that he could not stand idly by.
So he sat up straight and emphasized again the importance of her protecting her secret.
"If I have a doctor by my side, your blood therapy will be exposed, and no one will keep it a secret!"
He spoke with such confidence that Song Zijin began to feel a little scared.
My mother emphasized that her secret must not be known to anyone, and that blood should not be used to save people except in extraordinary circumstances. If it is exposed, she would be worse than dead.
Seeing that she was finally feeling scared, Xiao Linyuan struck while the iron was hot: "You know the current emperor, he advocates the pursuit of immortality. If he knew that your blood could cure all poisons, what would you think?"
Song Zijin's face turned pale. Wouldn't that mean she would become a blood cow?
She grabbed Xiao Linyuan's hand and said, "Prince, please don't tell anyone. I don't want to die yet..."
Xiao Linyuan snorted, "Hmm," and said, "You are not allowed to bleed for others to drink from now on. Remember?"
“Remember!”
Xiao Linyuan curled his lips slightly, then called Chunsheng to get the best medicine for the wound.
Seeing her apply it on the wound with my own eyes made me feel better.
——
Tingtao Courtyard.
After taking Doctor Luo's medicine yesterday, the old princess slept soundly all night and now feels refreshed.
The garden was full of vitality after the rain, and she felt relaxed. She remembered what Dr. Luo said yesterday, "If the energy dissipates, everything will be gone."
Now that her son's complexion is getting better day by day, she really should take good care of herself.
I just don’t know where Liao Yan has been these days. He failed at the critical moment.
At this time, Nanny Jiang walked quickly into the pavilion and whispered a few words in the old princess's ear.
The old princess raised her hand to signal, and the maid who was fanning her quickly lowered her head and left.
"You mean, Chunsheng asked the kitchen for four plates of pastries yesterday?"
"yes."
"Chunsheng is not a greedy person. I'm afraid something happened here." Nanny Jiang was very sure.
The old princess tapped her fingers on the stone table. "Did you find out where Liao Yan is?"
Nanny Jiang shook her head. "A few days ago, Doctor Liao suddenly said he had to go do something important and left the house. He's always been a medicine fanatic. This time, I thought he had found some good herbs and didn't come back in time."
The two looked at each other, and great surprise flashed in their eyes at the same time.
Immediately set off for Ruifengyuan.
I have to say that the way he walks is like he is twenty years younger.
