He'd only get in the way; he can't run, his health is so poor, and he can't fight. If he went, he'd probably be too busy looking after him to even have a chance to fight back.
She doesn't have the ability to take care of Yu Nanqing at the same time and set a trap for the Eldest Princess.
If it weren't for the fear of hurting Yu Nanqing's pride, Su Wanyan would definitely have said, "What are you doing here!"
As if sensing what Su Wanyan was thinking, Yu Nanqing choked slightly: "You don't mean... you think I'm in your way?"
"What else?" Su Wanyan's mouth moved faster than her brain, and she quickly covered her mouth after speaking.
Seeing Yu Nanqing looking at her in astonishment, she quickly added, "You said it yourself first, I didn't."
“I…I’ll go with you. In the end, she won’t dare to do anything to you.” Yu Nanqing felt a desire to prove herself, but also a sense of powerlessness.
Su Wanyan laughed: "It would be hilarious if both of them ended up in the Princess's residence."
Although Yu Nanqing is right, he really can't withstand any more turmoil.
"Let's wait until you're feeling better," Su Wanyan advised. "You can go wherever you want when you're feeling better, but it's really not possible now."
Yu Nanqing pursed her lips in resentment.
Seeing his reaction, Su Wanyan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll bring Mingyu and Xiaobu with me. Didn't you say Mingyu is the best at martial arts? With him around, what are you worried about? Besides, it's broad daylight, so the princess can't possibly resort to violence."
Yu Nanqing turned her face slightly away, saying that it was hard to say.
He hated himself for not being able to help in any way.
Seeing that he was still being stubborn, Su Wanyan pouted and ignored him, then picked up another piece of firewood and stuffed it into the stove.
“Su Wanyan…”
"Speak your mind." Su Wanyan looked up.
Do you dislike me?
"..." Su Wanyan ignored him and focused on tending to the fire in the stove.
But after a while, she still offered a comforting remark: "No."
As she poked at the flames, she said, "It's not a matter of whether you mind or not. Your current physical condition is definitely not suitable for going out."
“That’s not what I’m asking…” Yu Nanqing’s fist clenched slightly inside his sleeve.
Su Wanyan looked up curiously: "Then what did you ask?"
Yu Nanqing pursed his handsome thin lips slightly, awkwardly avoiding Su Wanyan's gaze. After hesitating for a while, he said, "I mean, if it weren't for Marquis Yuanning sending you here in place of him, would you normally not want to marry into this family?"
"What do you think?" Su Wanyan was speechless.
"..."
"Putting aside the fact that you've been paralyzed and bedridden for three years, who could stand your awful temper? You're here speaking to me hesitantly and nervously, but don't forget that when we first met, you almost crushed me to death." Su Wanyan rolled her eyes at him: "And you still think someone would willingly marry you?"
"..." For some reason, even though it was a very sad thing, the way Su Wanyan said it didn't hurt her pride at all.
Instead, it sounded like she was grumbling about her dissatisfaction with him all the time.
"I...I've already apologized." Yu Nanqing wanted to argue her point.
"It's a good thing you apologized, otherwise I would have left long ago. If you don't change your temper, I definitely won't have been able to put up with it for so long."
"..." Yu Nanqing was in the wrong and couldn't win the argument.
Then he asked, "And now? If you were in my current situation, and I asked you to marry again, would you still marry me?"
"No." Su Wanyan replied without hesitation.
Nonsense, if she had a choice, she would choose someone with all four limbs intact, how could she possibly choose a cripple?
Besides, she and Yu Nanqing had no emotional foundation.
"..." Yu Nanqing's heart sank. He wasn't injured before, but now he was.
Su Wanyan asked curiously, "Why are you asking these questions?"
"..." Yu Nanqing didn't really want to talk, but she didn't want to end the topic like this. Her gentle voice sounded somewhat weak: "You said last time that I could ask you questions and you wouldn't be angry."
"Oh." Su Wanyan did say that.
She thought for a moment and said, "However, although I won't marry you, I will definitely treat your illness." Treating your illness and not getting married are not contradictory, and she doesn't want to risk her future just to treat his illness.
Su Wanyan rested her chin on her hand: "In the end, it's not a matter of whether you dislike someone or not. It's just that under normal circumstances, everyone would think and act that way. Like you, if there wasn't a foundation of feelings, you wouldn't marry a sickly person who's about to die, right?"
"..." I always felt that Su Wanyan was right, but I didn't really want to admit it.
He clung to his last glimmer of hope: "So... can we be considered to have a foundation of affection now?"
"I really didn't think much about it." Su Wanyan scratched her forehead in embarrassment.
She was determined to cure his illness, because this would prove the extent of her system's power.
"So what is our relationship now?"
Su Wanyan thought for a moment, then uncertainly uttered two words: "Friends?"
She considered Yu Nanqing a friend. The two had gone through thick and thin together, even facing life and death together. Even if they weren't the best of friends, they should at least be considered friends.
I just don't know what Yu Nanqing thinks of her.
After all, he was a prince of a nation, and he was born in an era where the concept of hierarchy was very strong.
Do you just think of her as a doctor?
Yu Nanqing's heart sank.
friend?
Just friends?
He had only known Su Wanyan for a short time, yet they had been through so much together, so... was he merely a friend?
Seeing his face darken, Su Wanyan's eyes widened in disbelief as she stood up: "Yu Nanqing, don't go too far. After everything we've been through, calling you a friend isn't too much of a disservice to you, is it? Go ask around in the capital and see who can cure you. You should be able to secretly laugh at having me as a friend, and yet you still look down on me?"
Yu Nanqing was stunned: "I... I'm not wronged, and I don't look down on you."
He's just... not satisfied.
But... that's what Su Wanyan was thinking.
It's not that I have any issues with him, it's just that... I didn't think about it that way.
However, their official status is that of husband and wife, even if it was a case of mistaken identity where one of them was forced into marriage...
Yu Nanqing frowned, no...
I can't think about it anymore...
Su Wanyan is right, no normal person would like someone like him...
Given his physical condition and circumstances, he absolutely could not hold her back.
"Why are you frowning?" Su Wanyan brushed aside his bangs and, seeing that he really was frowning, laughed in exasperation: "Heh, you say you're not wronged, but you're probably dying of grievance inside, aren't you?"
"..." Her bangs were brushed aside, and a faint medicinal fragrance wafted into Su Wanyan's nose from her fingertips. Yu Nanqing stared blankly at Su Wanyan with his long eyes raised, his heart pounding uncontrollably: "I... said I didn't."
He doesn't usually stutter like this when he speaks, but now he can't explain a single word.
"Go away! I don't want to see you! Go back, go back!" Su Wanyan didn't want to talk to him anymore and started waving him away.
