Chapter 539 How about I bleed you a little more and take it back with me?
As Jiang Nuanzhi spoke, without even blinking, she directly handed the porcelain bottle to Xiao Yuanshan.
Seeing that Xiao Yuanshan did not accept it, she asked in surprise, "Your Highness, you wouldn't be unwilling, would you?"
Xiao Yuanshan squinted and remained silent.
Jiang Nuanzhi was not in a hurry, but spoke even more sincerely: "Your Highness and Princess are a deeply devoted couple. I'm sure Your Highness would be willing to give some of your blood for the Princess. It's the Princess's husband's blood, so I'm sure the Princess will be more able to accept it, and it will further strengthen their marital bond."
Xiao Yuanshan finally couldn't hold back and sneered, "Do you think I'm a fool?"
Previously, Arijung had made numerous schemes to try and take his blood.
Xiao Yuanshan vaguely guessed the reason, but he dared not be certain.
Now this little girl has actually clumsily danced in front of him? For a moment, Xiao Yuanshan even found it laughable.
Jiang Nuanzhi blinked, not even glancing at Xiao Yuanshan. She put down the porcelain bottle and, in a daze, helped Li Mingyu massage her wrist, sighing to herself, "It's normal for the prince to be reluctant to bleed. The prince's body is of great value, so naturally it's very precious... If it's not possible, let someone else do it."
As she spoke, a hint of regret lingered in her voice: "Decades of deep affection between husband and wife, in reality, it's nothing more than this."
Women in this world are always deeply affectionate; for the men they love, they would readily give up their lives. What are a pair of legs compared to that?
As she spoke, she placed her hand on Li Mingyu's extremely thin knees, sighed softly, and then changed the subject: "But what about men and women? They are ultimately lacking."
Even knowing there was hope, even knowing he could save her, he was unwilling to do it even if it only harmed his body slightly...
Sigh, it's truly a感慨 (feeling of deep emotion).
"Shut up! You still dare to instigate the Prince and Princess? Are you really not afraid of death?" Seeing Xiao Yuanshan's increasingly gloomy eyes, Marquis Xie shouted on his behalf: "Besides, the Princess doesn't necessarily need to use the Prince's blood. It might be better to find a young woman with a clean background."
“Yes, what you say is true, Lord Marquis.” Jiang Nuanzhi nodded suddenly, which startled Lord Xie. His imposing but not very intelligent face was full of defensiveness.
Jiang Nuanzhi continued, "There are countless people who can do this kind of thing, but surely you know that no one's blood can make him as happy as the Prince's?"
Upon hearing this, Lord Xie was momentarily speechless.
Go and see Xiao Yuanshan in a barely perceptible way.
Jiang Nuan sighed the next second: "Really, I spoke without thinking. Let's not talk about this anymore."
She glanced at Li Mingyu and suddenly said, "Your Highness, please take care of yourself. By the way, how exactly did you injure your legs back then?"
As she spoke, Jiang Nuanzhi's eyes showed a hint of pity: "Such a beauty, how could she have wasted so many years of her youth sitting in a wheelchair?"
Li Mingyu subconsciously tightened her fingers and looked at her legs.
Even though she knew that the woman in front of her was from the Li family and that her words were definitely not just about showing concern for her, she was still inexplicably moved by her words.
Her lips trembled for a while before she calmly wiped away her hot tears and said in a hoarse voice, "If you want to sow discord between me and the Prince, I advise you to give up. I only love the Prince, and that is my own choice. I am willing to give the Prince my reputation, my life, and everything else, and I would not want the Prince's health to be harmed in the slightest."
I absolutely cannot harm the Prince's body; you must find another way. As long as I can stand up again, I'll gladly accept anyone's blood.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuanshan looked at his wife's trembling eyelashes. Although she tried her best to hide it, after so many years together, how could Xiao Yuanshan not see the disappointment in her eyes?
He suppressed the urge to kill Jiang Nuanzhi, only now realizing how troublesome this woman was.
In the art of warfare, winning hearts and minds is paramount.
Now, as if regaining his senses, he realized that he had been led by the nose by this woman for most of the day.
He took a deep breath, slowly raised his hand, and his deep voice seemed to contain anger: "Knife!"
The people around were stunned when they heard Xiao Yuanshan's words.
His personal servant immediately took a dagger and placed it in Xiao Yuanshan's hand.
Without hesitation, Xiao Yuanshan slashed his palm.
"Your Highness!"
Li Mingyu looked at her with teary eyes: "How can you harm your health?"
"Your Highness clearly cherishes the Princess."
Jiang Nuanzhi's eyes lit up as she looked at Xiao Yuanshan's blood, especially after she saw that he had already filled the small porcelain bottle. She immediately grabbed another bottle and placed it beside him, saying without a word, "Your Highness and Princess are truly a loving couple. The Princess has such a husband; all the women in the world must be envious. Your Highness, you should at least fill two bottles; three would be even better."
As Jiang Nuanzhi spoke, she took out the third porcelain bottle.
Xiao Yuanshan looked at Jiang Nuanzhi, whose greed was almost no longer concealed, and said in a sinister voice, "How about I bleed you a little more and take it back with me?"
That's excellent, excellent!
After saying this, Xiao Yuanshan simply removed his hand.
Jiang Nuanzhi was taken aback, coughed lightly, and immediately took out a handkerchief: "Your Highness, please wipe yourself."
Xiao Yuanshan looked at the handkerchief in his hand and threw it away in disgust.
Jiang Nuanzhi picked up the handkerchief and a medicine bottle: "Your Highness, this is hemostatic medicine. Please give some to the Prince. Don't worry, he will be fine in a few days. It won't harm the Prince's health."
Li Mingyu tenderly held Xiao Yuanshan's hand, took the medicine but did not give it to him, and then instructed the maid beside her, "Hurry up and prepare the medicine."
Then, with tears in her eyes, she looked at Xiao Yuanshan and said, "Your Highness has suffered because of me."
Xiao Yuanshan took a deep breath, he was so angry he was about to explode, but he gritted his teeth and suppressed his emotions, and ruffled Li Mingyu's hair: "It's alright, I'm willing to do anything for you."
As he said this, his gloomy gaze, sharp as an arrow, seemed to want to pierce Jiang Nuanzhi like a sieve.
Tears welled up in Li Mingyu's eyes instantly, and she nodded heavily while holding Xiao Yuanshan's hand.
Seeing this, Jiang Nuanzhi twitched the corner of her mouth and thought to herself, "Just as I thought."
She didn't intend to hide this method from Xiao Yuanshan.
What she was gambling on was that Xiao Yuanshan wouldn't want to disappoint Li Mingyu.
After all, for a man, it's just some blood; compared to his beloved wife, it's nothing.
Fortunately, Xiao Yuanshan really cares about Li Mingyu.
Furthermore, she noticed that Xiao Yuanshan's expression was off as he looked at Li Mingyu's leg, and guessed that Li Mingyu's leg ailment was related to Xiao Yuanshan, which she was probably right about.
It seems that Xiao Yuanshan did not want A Rong's life.
Although she didn't know why, she was probably right. After all, if he wanted to kill A Rong, he had more opportunities in the Great Wilderness before.
