She hurriedly threw down her package and went to check on Yu Nanqing, only to find that he had fainted, his breathing was disordered and weak, and the bloodstains dripping along the edge of the bed were almost dry.
She's only been gone a short while, how come she's vomiting blood again?
Is it because he's going to get two injections today that he's angry?
Su Wanyan felt guilty; she was like a piece of porcelain, so fragile that it would break at the slightest touch.
She carefully helped Yu Nanqing to a more comfortable position. A little blood had already dripped onto the sheets. She touched his face and stroked his forehead. Seeing that his body temperature was normal, she took out a wooden basin from under the bed, intending to fetch some water to wash him.
But after holding the wooden basin in his hand, he remembered his previous disgusted look, frowned, and kicked the basin back in.
She ran quickly outside, calling out, "Xu Si! Xu Si!"
Su Wanyan ran to the kitchen shouting all the way. Xu Si, who was in the kitchen, was in a daze. As soon as he heard Su Wanyan's voice, his eyes lit up.
But then a wave of panic washed over him, and he rushed out, on the verge of tears: "Shhhhh—Oh dear, my lady, you're calling me over so openly, I could live a life I don't even have enough lives to survive!"
He had been worried that Su Wanyan wouldn't come back ever since she crawled out of the dog hole today, and now that she's back, he's even more anxious.
Su Wanyan didn't care: "Hurry up and go find some clean basins and towels. I need to wash the prince."
Xu Si trembled. He was getting too close to Su Wanyan. If someone tipped him off and the Emperor found out, he would be in big trouble!
He looked around and saw that many people were already staring at them. Su Wanyan grabbed his collar and said, "If you don't listen to me, I can make you pay right now. If you listen to me, I'll find a way to protect you if word gets out!"
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away, I'll go right away." Xu Si, hearing that she would protect him, didn't know where his confidence came from, and simply believed Su Wanyan's words.
Even though he was still injured, he hurriedly went to find a basin for Su Wanyan.
He not only found a basin for Su Wanyan, but also thoughtfully fetched hot water.
Su Wanyan wrung out a towel and first wiped the blood from the corner of Yu Nanqing's mouth. Then she lifted the blanket and wiped his upper body.
Yu Nanqing's upper body was wrapped in bandages, and he was lying on his side on the bed. There was only a limited area to wipe. She glanced at Yu Nanqing's hair. Last time she washed his hair, it took her a lot of effort just to clean that one head of hair.
But no matter how carefully she scrubbed, it was impossible to get it completely clean.
She wondered if she should wash Yu Nanqing's hair once his injury had healed a bit.
Suddenly, Su Wanyan noticed that he seemed to be holding something in his hand. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was the needle case.
Su Wanyan was stunned for a moment, then opened her eyes curiously at the needle pouch in his hand. Hadn't the needle pouch fallen to the ground? The silver needles had even spilled out, and she had stormed out without cleaning it up.
Is Yu Nanqing able to get out of bed?
She lifted the blanket and looked at his legs, which had already developed atrophy...
That's unlikely.
She tried to pry Yu Nanqing's hands off, but found that he was holding them very tightly. After several unsuccessful attempts, Su Wanyan simply gave up, washed the towel again, and prepared to wipe his lower body.
However, at that moment, Yu Nanqing suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed Su Wanyan's hand.
The force of his hand was not strong, as if he had deliberately made it light. He stared at Su Wanyan with his eyes wide open, his eyes bloodshot.
Su Wanyan was startled: "You're awake?"
A barely perceptible shock, and even more so disbelief, filled Yu Nanqing's eyes. He thought Su Wanyan would leave like this, but why... did she come back?
He opened his pale lips, about to say something, when he realized that Su Wanyan had pulled the blanket off at some point. His already ashen face darkened, and he immediately reached out and pulled the blanket over himself.
Su Wanyan was stunned for a moment, then reached out to lift it: "What are you doing? Aren't you afraid it'll get dirty if you don't wipe it?"
Yu Nanqing's face darkened further, and he pressed one hand down on Su Wanyan: "It's none of your business!"
"You!" Su Wanyan was about to start cursing, but when she thought of how he had just vomited blood today, she suppressed her rising anger and glared at him angrily.
Just then, Xu Si came in carrying a basket of tools, his voice trembling: "Your Majesty, everything you requested... this servant has brought it all for you."
Hoes, sickles, brooms...
Su Wanyan's eyes lit up: "You've come at the perfect time."
She tossed the towel directly into Xu Si's hands: "You come and wash the prince."
Since they are both men, Yu Nanqing shouldn't have any objections this time, right?
Xu Si paused for a moment, put down the basket, hesitated before stepping forward, looked at the towel in his hand, and then at Yu Nanqing on the bed whose face was as black as charcoal.
Finally, his gaze fell on Su Wanyan.
Su Wanyan gave him a threatening look, and Xu Si had no choice but to swallow hard: "Your Highness, this servant... will help you wash up..."
After saying that, she reached out to pull off the blanket covering him, but before she could even touch the blanket, a gust of wind swept over her.
With a cold face, Yu Nanqing slapped Xu Si on the chin.
Xu Si let out a miserable scream as his fat body was thrown straight out and crashed heavily to the ground with a loud thud.
Su Wanyan was slightly startled, but before Xu Si could even get up, Yu Nanqing had already stretched out his claws towards Xu Si, and a surge of internal energy erupted instantly.
Even Su Wanyan, who was standing to the side, could feel the tremor coming towards her. In an instant, Xu Si was suddenly grabbed by Yu Nanqing from a distance. Yu Nanqing held Xu Si's neck with his five fingers, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged.
Xu Si's eyes rolled back immediately, and his face turned ashen in an instant.
"Yu Nanqing, what are you doing!" Su Wanyan shouted, "If he dies, I'll have no one to command!"
"..." Yu Nanqing stared at Xu Si with his sinister eyes, remaining motionless.
Xu Si was held captive like this without even uttering a cry; his breath seemed to have stopped.
"Yu Nanqing!"
"I don't trust anyone!" Yu Nanqing glared fiercely at Su Wanyan: "Can you guarantee he didn't come here intentionally to kill me?"
“I called him here. He was going to use a chamber pot to wipe your body, but you complained, so I asked him to bring me some new pots. I guarantee he didn’t come to kill you!” Because she was anxious, Su Wanyan said it all in one breath, and at a very fast pace.
"..."
Yu Nanqing looked coldly at Su Wanyan.
Seeing Xu Si's face turn a deep purplish-red, Su Wanyan said anxiously, "If you don't let go, he'll really die!"
Yu Nanqing gritted her teeth, but in the end, she reluctantly let go, her thin lips pressed together.
"Cough cough cough... cough cough yue..." Xu Si lay on the ground in pain, clutching his neck, sticking out his tongue and coughing while gasping for air. He felt nauseous and almost vomited, ignoring the pain in his body.
