Zhao Hu, lying on top of A Tao, looked up at Zhao Cheng and smiled, "I'm still alive..."
"Get up!" Atao shrugged her shoulders.
Zhao Hu rolled over, sat down against the edge of the bed, and said while clutching his arm, "I did save your life, so don't be so mean to me!"
Atao suddenly turned around, and without her noticing, the bracelet on her wrist transformed into a dagger, held against Zhao Hu's neck, as she demanded, "How long have you been awake?!"
Zhao Hu looked confused and said, "I... I just woke up!"
Zhao Cheng chimed in, "That's right, Atao, Zhao Hu just woke up. Why are you asking that?"
Atao said sternly, "You just woke up? And the first thing you do when you wake up is save me?"
Zhao Hu said, "The first thing I saw when I woke up was that you were in danger, so of course I had to risk my life to save you!"
Zhao Cheng said, "That's right, Zhao Hu likes you so much, of course his first reaction would be to save you!"
Atao said, "You've been unconscious for so long, your bodily functions have deteriorated, your bones are stiff, and your mind isn't clear. How could you react so quickly?"
Zhao Hu explained, "I've been my master's guard for so many years, saving people is my instinct. Wasn't it the same when you protected the Princess?"
"Exactly!" Zhao Cheng nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, saying, "Human potential is limitless. Zhao Hu has saved my life several times..."
"Shut up, Your Highness!"
"Stop interrupting!!"
"So annoying!!!"
Atao shouted angrily at Zhao Cheng, then suddenly raised her leg and pressed her knee down on Zhao Hu's crotch.
She brought her face close to Zhao Hu's, staring at the scar on his face, and said, "Does a person who has been in a coma for a long time have any physical reactions when they sleep at night?"
“Men…” Zhao Cheng was about to interrupt when A Tao suddenly turned around, her eyes looking like she wanted to kill someone.
Heng Wenhao quickly pulled Zhao Cheng to a corner, signaling him to stop talking.
"Tell me yourself!" The force of A Tao's knee on his knee caused Zhao Hu's face to change color in pain.
"Ah... be gentle." Zhao Hu gasped softly, "A man... I'm just unconscious, my body isn't dead..."
Atao said, "Then why do you not react normally, but react when I take off my clothes and sleep next to you? And react more than ten times a night??"
"More than ten times!!" Zhao Cheng exclaimed in surprise, "Zhao Hu, you're amazing..."
"You son-in-law, get out!!!" Atao could no longer bear it. She threw a dagger with her backhand, which embedded itself in the wall next to Zhao Cheng's face. The end of the dagger was still trembling.
Zhao Cheng's face turned pale with fright.
Heng Wenhao quickly pulled Zhao Cheng out of the room and saw that Yan Yilun had been subdued by Zhao Yan.
"I don't have time to deal with you right now, you'll have to wait."
Zhao Cheng pointed at Yan Yilun and said something, then crept to the window to eavesdrop.
Yan Yilun looked completely bewildered...
Inside the room, Atao's other bracelet also transformed into a dagger, held against Zhao Hu's neck.
"Tell me! Were you awake a while ago?"
"I don't……"
"If you dare say you don't have it again, I'll castrate you!"
Atao loosened her knees and plunged the dagger hard into the ground beneath Zhao Hu's crotch.
Zhao Hu was so frightened that he took a step back and shouted, "I'll talk, I'll talk! I woke up a long time ago!"
"You're something else!" Atao grabbed Zhao Hu by the collar and demanded, "When did you wake up?"
A few days ago.
"in the end?"
"During the Spring Festival..."
"I'm asking one last time!"
"On the way back to Yanchuan City!"
"This really is the last time..."
"I'm not kidding you! I woke up on the way back!"
Zhao Hu raised his hands and said, "That night, I vaguely smelled your fragrance and woke up. Then I found you sleeping with me in the carriage, and I was so scared that I didn't dare to make a sound."
Atao squinted and smelled: "Are you too scared to make a sound?"
Zhao Hu said, "It's not that I'm scared, it's... it's that I want to smell your fragrance more."
"You woke up on the way back and have been pretending to be unconscious without eating or drinking until now. All this time just to smell my fragrance?"
Atao sniffed her armpits and said, "Do I smell nice? I don't even know it!"
Zhao Hu said, "You guys have been feeding me water every day, I won't die."
Ah Tao retorted angrily, "Is that the point?!"
Zhao Hu sighed and said, "Alright, to be honest, I also want to take a good rest... It's been a long time since I've been able to sleep so comfortably and leisurely. The master and the Right Prime Minister's residence have been peaceful lately, so I just want to take a break."
"Does the Prince Consort know you've woken up?"
"have no idea."
"Really?" Atao moved closer to Zhao Hu, their noses almost touching.
"Isn't it the prince consort who's working with you, deliberately making me take off my clothes and sleep with you?"
"My master truly knew nothing about it!"
"I don't believe it! If the prince consort hadn't taught you these things, how could you be so shameless?!"
"Hey! Isn't it a bit much to slander me like that?" Zhao Cheng, unable to bear it any longer, rushed in, pointed at Zhao Hu, and yelled, "You idiot! Fool! The atmosphere has been built up to this point, can't you just tell the truth?"
"Just tell me you pretended to be unconscious to fool Atao, because you like her and love being with her, right?"
Is it really that hard to say "I love you"?
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hu and A Tao were both stunned.
Zhao Hu took a deep breath and suddenly grabbed A Tao's hand.
"Yes!"
"I……"
Zhao Hu bit his lip and said, "Atao, I like you!"
"You liar, you scoundrel!" Atao broke free from Zhao Hu's hand and was about to hit him when Zhao Hu's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly covered his arm.
Seeing that Zhao Hu's lips were black, which didn't seem to be fake, A Tao quickly rolled up Zhao Hu's sleeve and saw that the wound from the poisoned needle was bleeding black blood.
