Xuanfeng immediately noticed and reminded Ning Xi'er, "Your Highness, the Prince is still injured..."
What he really wanted to say was, "His Highness is still injured, please don't upset him..."
But he dared not.
Ning Xi'er indeed stopped talking and carefully examined Xie Zhun's expression...
I placed the back of my hand against his forehead to check if he had a fever due to a wound infection.
Unexpectedly, Xie Zhun suddenly raised his hand and slapped her hand away...
Before leaving, he gave Ning Xi'er a deep look.
His expression was one of hurt and grievance, but he didn't say anything.
Ning Xi'er suddenly felt a little guilty.
She looked at her hands and quickly caught up.
Halfway there, they were stopped by Wei Xunfang, who had been watching the commotion from the sidelines.
"If you still want me to leave, then I'll send you away!"
Ning Xi'er showed no mercy whatsoever.
Wei Xunfang forced a smile, "I had imagined what Hong'er's future princess would look like, but I never expected it to be like this..."
Ning Xi'er glared at him, as if to say, "Who are you trying to imply?!"
She was rude to him, aside from his previous indiscriminate humiliation and attempts to make her back down...
To be blunt, if she hadn't had something to say to him privately, she wouldn't have been ambushed by Xu Yan, and Xie Zhun wouldn't have been injured as a result...
This was all a chain reaction. Ning Xi'er knew that even if Wei Xunfang hadn't kept her tonight, Xu Yan would have found another opportunity...
Perhaps we should just grant permission to proceed...
But Wei Xunfang clearly expressed that he looked down on Ning Xier, so why should Ning Xier still smile at him?
Unexpectedly, Ning Xi'er is even more capable than I imagined...
Wei Xunfang laughed instead, not with mockery, but with a hint of compromise.
Ning Xi'er glanced at him warily, and seeing that he didn't speak, she prepared to walk past him and go after Xie Zhun...
Unexpectedly, Wei Xunfang turned around and solemnly said, "Can you promise me that you will stay by Hong'er's side forever?"
Ning Xi'er turned her head. He changed too quickly, didn't he?
But upon closer examination, the differences become apparent.
What Wei Xunfang wanted wasn't just to stay by Xie Zhun's side, but to be with him forever, "always," never leaving...
Ning Xi'er then remembered Wei Xunfang's mention of the "Ziwei Technique," which concerned how she had traveled here and whether it was possible to travel back in time...
Perhaps he truly glimpsed a sliver of divine secret?
So, she tacitly agreed to stay by Xie Zhun's side, but made a promise not to leave easily?
Xie Zhun returned to his room and stood there for a while, only to find that Ning Xi'er hadn't followed...
I'm getting angrier!
He even broke two cups!
Xuanfeng and Xuanshuang, who were outside the door, exchanged a glance and both saw the astonishment in each other's eyes.
In their eyes, His Highness was calm and self-controlled, rarely showing his emotions, but ever since the Princess came into his life...
Not only does the prince appear happy, but now he's openly showing his anger?
At this moment, they deeply missed Eunuch Xu.
Without Eunuch Xu's guidance, their princess seems completely clueless!
Your Highness, wasn't your anger wasted?
Ning Xi'er rushed over, but in fact, three cups of tea's time had already passed.
Xuanfeng and Xuanshuang advised Xie Zhun to lie down and to be careful of the wound on his back...
Xie Zhun, however, refused and instead created the best opportunity to tear the wound apart, just to see if that heartless girl would feel any pain in her heart!
Realizing this thought, I suddenly felt incredibly naive and prepared to discuss it further...
Xuanfeng and Xuanshuang recognized the footsteps outside and immediately ran out.
"how's it going?"
Ning Xi'er couldn't help but feel a little worried as she watched them hurry by.
Xuanfeng and Xuanshuang exchanged a glance. Xuanfeng remained expressionless. "His Highness must be in pain from his wound. He couldn't help himself and smashed two water cups just now..."
After saying that, he showed the scraps he had collected to Ning Xi'er.
Ning Xi'er didn't have time to answer before she lifted the curtain and went inside.
Xie Zhun was about to lie down when he touched the wound on his back. His brows furrowed as he heard footsteps behind him.
The visitor sat down on the edge of the bed and prepared to lift his robe.
Ning Xi'er asked with concern, "How are you? Does the wound hurt? Or is it itchy?"
Slender fingers, through the fabric, stroked Xie Zhun's back, avoiding the areas where his hands were.
He muttered to himself, "No way! I clearly used medicine powder before bandaging."
But thinking back to how he hugged me tightly then, and helped me clean the glass shards from my hands and remove the mercury...
It might have aggravated the wound...
This only exacerbated my worries.
Xie Zhun didn't turn his head, sullenly lying on the pillow with his back to Ning Xi'er.
Ning Xi'er prepared to unbutton his robes and examine the wound on his back...
He reached out and slapped it away in the opposite direction.
"Smack!"
A sharp crack, utterly merciless.
Ning Xi'er was stunned by the beating. If she couldn't sense that this person was angry, she would have lost her mind.
However, Ning Xi'er had been hit twice by her, and she was also getting angry.
The first time I was hit, I could say it was out of kindness; I was angry that she didn't consider my feelings...
This time, she meant well by checking his wound, but he just wouldn't appreciate it...
He even hit her!
Perhaps it was too quiet behind him, Xie Zhun slowly turned his head and saw Ning Xi'er's surprised and somewhat hurt expression...
My heart suddenly clenched!
