Su Wanyan propped his head up with a pillow and held the water glass to his lips.
Yu Nanqing took a small sip, and a sweet sensation flowed down her throat, making her feel much more relaxed.
Su Wanyan took his pulse, and it appeared to be stable, but he was weak and feeble, and his body was extremely depleted.
Su Wanyan reached out and grabbed one of his arms: "Come on, relax, let me show you the injury on your back."
The more relaxed Yu Nanqing's body was, the more effort Su Wanyan had to exert. When moving him, Su Wanyan needed to put one leg on the bed and use the strength of her leg to pull her upper body to move Yu Nanqing.
Yu Nanqing's back was oozing blood, some fresh and some dried and discolored.
Su Wanyan carefully helped him take off his clothes: "Fortunately, they didn't stick to the clothes, and the wound didn't fester."
The scab was just slightly torn.
Su Wanyan took out some wound-cleaning medicine from the cabinet and returned to the bedside: "I'll put some medicine on you."
Yu Nanqing let her do as she pleased, her top was pulled off, and a blush quietly appeared on the tips of her ears.
His gaze fell on the distorted vase ornaments in the room, which Su Wanyan thought were pretty and had placed in a prominent position. He looked at them for a while, then his eyes fell on the package she had bought, which was bulging inside and he didn't know what it contained.
It seems that Su Wanyan always buys a lot of things whenever she goes out of the manor, and if they are rare or interesting, she will occasionally share them with him.
When Su Wanyan applied the medicine to him, her face was very close to his body, and her breath gently touched him, causing a tingling sensation that made Yu Nanqing's throat dry.
Yu Nanqing tensed up and quickly looked at the dressing table, where Su Wanyan had bought a strange doll. Because Su Wanyan liked it, he now found the doll much more agreeable.
My gaze then fell on the table in front of me, where the bottles and jars that had been left behind still sat.
Yu Nanqing looked around the entire room, but his attention was still focused on Su Wanyan's soft breath. He seemed unable to suppress that strange blood and qi, and not only could he not suppress it, but it seemed to be burning more and more intensely.
"Yu Nanqing," Su Wanyan suddenly said, "you seem to smell. You need to wash yourself."
"Cough!" Yu Nanqing was caught off guard: "Cough cough cough..."
"Ouch!" With this cough, a little more blood spilled from his back. "Calm down. It's normal to smell if you don't shower. You're a patient, and I'm not blaming you for anything. I'm just letting you know that I need to clean you up so you can prepare. What's there to get so worked up about!"
After saying that, Su Wanyan raised her hand and smelled herself; she hadn't washed herself for several days.
But she couldn't smell her own odor.
I should probably take a shower tonight.
Yu Nanqing raised her hand to cover her eyes, speechless.
He knew Su Wanyan liked cleanliness, and now... he was helpless.
“By the way, I saw the Princess’s carriage on the street today. It looked like it had just come from the palace. Does the Princess go to the palace every day?” Su Wanyan suddenly asked.
Yu Nanqing really didn't know about this floor.
He didn't let go of the hand covering his eyes, and after thinking for a long time, he finally uttered two words: "Maybe..."
Her voice carried a hint of embarrassment, as if she hadn't yet recovered from what had just happened.
"Emperor Yuanhe and the Eldest Princess are definitely not talking about anything good. They might be plotting how to deal with us."
As Su Wanyan was speaking, she suddenly realized that Yu Nanqing was a patient and it wasn't appropriate to talk about these things, so she changed the subject: "I bought two maids. I'll bring them over for you to see when you're feeling better. If I'm ever too busy, they can take care of you. Those two maids are so pretty and delicate."
He was a child from a poor family who had no other choice but to sell himself to a broker.
“…Cough! Cough cough!” Yu Nanqing suddenly coughed again.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Su Wanyan grabbed his wrist and held it for a while.
She was a little unsteady, but nothing serious. Su Wanyan asked curiously, "What words upset you? Did you not want to be served?"
Yu Nanqing remained silent.
Su Wanyan immediately understood his expression: "That won't do. I'll be exhausted if I do all this myself. If you don't want those two maids to serve you, then let your own people serve you. I'll teach you if you don't know how. Besides, you're stronger, so it'll be easier for them to serve you."
Judging from Xiaobu's appearance, I can tell that these people have never served anyone before.
But it's okay, she'll teach you, she can teach you step by step.
Yu Nanqing frowned and swallowed hard. After a long while, he finally spoke: "Su Wanyan... will you abandon me?"
Will I gradually distance myself from him and leave him after arranging everything?
“It’s not like I’d abandon you.” Su Wanyan chuckled. “I really can’t bring myself to give you up halfway through.”
After applying the medicine, Su Wanyan helped him get dressed while asking, "Are you hungry? Did Xiaobu feed you anything?"
"I'm asleep."
It means not yet.
"Then bear with it. I'll go to the kitchen and make you a medicinal meal. It'll help you feel more energetic."
"You...do it yourself?"
"Aren't you touched?" Su Wanyan asked with a smile.
"..."
Su Wanyan is very straightforward, so straightforward that Yu Nanqing sometimes doesn't know how to respond.
At the same time, he was well aware that such straightforward words had no real meaning; they were just words Su Wanyan said naturally when she was happy.
But for him, it was a series of palpitations, and he didn't know how to suppress them...
"Oh, by the way, I also bought you a few sets of linings today, so you can change them easily. I'll let you try them on when you have time."
Yu Nanqing's eyes brightened slightly: "...Okay."
“I bought some for Chi En too. I’ll take them to him when he wakes up.”
Upon hearing that Su Chien had also bought some, the light that had just lit up in Yu Nanqing's eyes dimmed again.
It turns out it wasn't just for him.
"I bought a set for Mingyu too, and he looks quite good in it."
Yu Nanqing almost coughed up again. She'd even bought some for Mingyu too…
So... in her eyes, he was just like everyone else, nothing special...
Yu Nanqing's pale lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything at all.
Finally, he pursed his lips, turned his head away, and stopped looking at Su Wanyan.
Su Wanyan assumed he was tired and wanted to rest, so she reached out and covered him with a blanket: "Then you should rest well. I need to rearrange your treatment schedule. Be a good boy and listen to me."
Previously, we only treated his legs, but now that his body is weak, the acupuncture technique needs to be rearranged.
After saying that, she got up and left the room without hesitation.
As soon as the door closed, Yu Nanqing turned his gaze, trying to catch up with Su Wanyan's figure, but the door closed neatly, giving him no chance at all.
Yu Nanqing felt a sense of emptiness.
His fists were clenched under the covers, and the stabbing pain in his heart intensified.
He was so... unwilling to accept it...
