The man's gaze was too blatant; it was the way a man looks at a woman, and she understood even if he didn't say it.
Su Yujiao stood up to leave, but stopped at the door.
Her hands were pressed against the door, her fingertips trembling slightly, and her slender, rounded shoulders trembled gently with nervousness.
She was struggling, hesitating, as if she were making a decision that was difficult to talk about.
Finally, she took a deep breath, placed her hand on her neck, and began to unbutton her collar.
"I have nothing to offer you in exchange, except for this body."
"If you want it, I'll give it to you right now."
Lu Ziqian stared at her slightly trembling back, his dark eyes like a deep winter night, a tremendous sense of oppression raging wildly in the small space.
“Turn around.”
"Didn't you want to exchange your body for it?"
"I'd like to see how you intend to please me."
Su Yujiao paused in taking off her clothes. She spoke toughly, but when she actually did it, she trembled with shame.
The woman walked to the bedside, pressed herself against him, and kissed him.
Lu Ziqian rolled over and pinned her down, taking the initiative and pressing his lips to her soft ones, demanding her domineeringly.
Su Yujiao turned her face away, tears streaming down her cheeks. The man paused, then gently kissed the tear tracks on her face, the taste salty and slightly bitter.
He looked at the woman trembling beneath him, suppressed his intense urge, released her, and thoughtfully covered her with a blanket.
The man pulled her into his arms, burying his head in her thick, beautiful hair, inhaling the faint orchid scent emanating from it.
"Why are you crying? You can tell me if you don't want it." He whispered in her ear, his voice gentler than ever.
"Don't cry, I'm not that heartless. It hurts me to see you cry."
"I was just trying to upset you. You always misunderstand my good intentions."
"I came here for no other purpose than to help you."
As Lu Ziqian spoke, he gently kissed the woman's trembling eyelashes again: "We are husband and wife, isn't it normal to do this kind of thing?"
Why do you always feel like I'm humiliating you?
"I just... have a bit too much demand."
Su Yujiao turned around and glared at him, and Lu Ziqian immediately surrendered: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything more."
"Don't move, lie down with me for a while, and wait for my good news tonight."
"I haven't slept for three days and three nights."
Su Yujiao looked at the dark circles under the man's eyes and thought about how he was seriously injured but had helped her fight off bandits along the way, and her heart softened.
She let him hold her.
Lu Ziqian could feel her relax and stop being so tense.
He saw her hug him even tighter, as if she was savoring this beautiful moment.
She woke up at night, but the man was gone.
Su Yujiao sat up abruptly, opened the door, and found that Mo Shu outside was gone.
She couldn't help but worry, thinking about what Xiao Liu had said. The royal court of the Xiao Nan tribe was not easy to break into; the general had risked his life to obtain the prescription.
She kept telling herself to calm down and not to overthink, otherwise she would become more and more anxious.
Su Yujiao even imagined the scene of thousands of Lu Ziqians dying tragically.
He couldn't sit still at all and kept pacing around the room.
As time went on, Su Yujiao became increasingly uneasy, always feeling that something bad would happen to him.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Mo Shu appeared with the seriously injured Lu Ziqian, carrying a large sack.
"Young Madam, the General is seriously injured."
The moment Su Yujiao realized what was happening, her face turned from red to white, and her mind went completely blank.
"Ziqian!!"
Her legs felt weak, a natural reaction to excessive panic, and she tried to calm herself down by holding onto the table.
At this moment, Mo Shu had already helped the unconscious Lu Ziqian to bed.
"Young Madam, please treat the General."
Su Yujiao realized what was happening and immediately went to the bedside to check the wound. The fatal wound was in her leg; the arrow had hit the major artery in her leg, and she would bleed to death soon.
"Young Madam, do you know how to treat external injuries?"
"If the bleeding is not stopped soon, the general's chances of survival are slim."
Su Yujiao looked at Mo Hua, who was covered in blood, and asked, "Are you injured too?"
"I am unharmed. This... is all the general's blood."
Su Yujiao's face turned pale again. Such a large amount of bleeding meant that the situation was more dangerous than she had imagined.
She tried to calm herself down and immediately pulled out a bandage to tightly wrap around Lu Ziqian's thigh to stop the bleeding.
"Go find the stove, the earthenware pot, and the water."
"Fetch a few more buckets of water."
"Find more candles and bronze mirrors as well."
"Oh, and I'd like another big bowl of sweet soup."
"yes."
After Mo Shu left, Su Yujiao immediately went back to her room to retrieve her surgical instruments.
When Su Yujiao returned, Mo Shu was already in the room.
"Put these tools in a pot and boil them."
"yes."
Su Yujiao prepared a bowl of sugar water and fed it to him mouth-to-mouth, which could quickly replenish the water and energy needed by his body.
After that, she took out a bowl and a dagger, took some of Lu Ziqian's blood, and then pricked her own finger.
Let the two drops of blood mix fully and observe for any clotting. If there is no clotting, she can give Lu Ziqian a blood transfusion.
While this method cannot determine whether blood types are compatible, it can generally determine that blood types do not conflict.
In her previous life, she had type O blood, commonly known as universal blood.
Although her time travel was a soul transmigration, Su Yujiao's appearance and name were the same in this era.
So she decided to take a gamble, betting that her current body also had type O blood.
Otherwise, they could only watch Lu Ziqian bleed to death.
