I disinfected and cleaned Su Yan's wounds, then applied some wound medicine.
Situ Xiu sat in the chair and bandaged her up.
The guards were also dealing with the corpses and bloodstains in the courtyard and the hall.
Ningzhi was sent away.
Only Su Yan and Situ Xiu remained in the hall.
He tied her up tightly.
Waiting for it to be wrapped and tied up again and again until it's all done.
Su Yan's hands were wrapped up like a big steamed bun.
The palm of my hand was originally injured, and after it was bandaged, all four fingers were unable to move flexibly.
She tried to take it apart.
"I can't move my hand."
Situ Xiu pulled her arm
"Don't move this hand for the next month."
"But how am I supposed to eat?"
Situ Xiu looked up at her.
"You are my guard, and instead of thinking about how to protect me, you only think about how to eat every day?"
Su Yan changed her tune
"I can't hold a sword anymore."
"You can't even protect yourself, yet you dare to protect me, the king?"
"I······"
"What?"
"I see."
Su Yan lowered her head and silently clenched her fist.
None of the five fingers can be lifted.
Waiting for it to be tied up.
Akahoshi walked up, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and spoke.
"Your Highness, Miss Ningzhi has not left yet."
Situ Xiu's eyelids twitched, and he chuckled.
"Red Star"
"Your subordinate is here."
"Since when did my territory become a place where people can come and go as they please?"
Red Star hesitates
"Your Highness, the marriage agreement with the Duke of Ningguo..."
With that, Akahoshi stopped talking.
Situ Xiu's expression didn't look good.
Hurry up and say
"Your Highness, I will ask Miss Ningzhi to leave immediately."
Akahoshi turned and left.
Soon, only Su Yan and Situ Xiu remained in the room.
Su Yan was puzzled
"Are you engaged to Ning Zhi?"
Situ Xiu was taken aback and looked up.
He didn't answer immediately, but seemed thoughtful, a slow smile playing on his lips.
"Is it forbidden for me to have a marriage agreement with anyone else?"
Su Yan thought for a moment
"A marriage agreement is acceptable."
As soon as he finished speaking, Situ Xiu's smile froze.
Then, Su Yan...
"But you cannot get married, you cannot take a concubine, and you cannot have an affair."
In Su Yan's eyes, the engagement was just a matter of reputation.
It's nothing substantial.
So, it doesn't matter whether it exists or not.
But the other three things cannot be included.
Situ Xiu's smile grew wider and wider, and his gaze toward Su Yan became increasingly intense.
His voice was slow
"The marriage is arranged by parents and matchmakers. Once a marriage contract is made, it must be fulfilled."
Su Yan shook her head
"Can't."
Situ Xiu's smile grew wider with age.
He leaned back in his chair.
He grabbed Su Yan's hand, which was tied up like a small steamed bun.
He is a prince of the Tian Sheng Kingdom.
He is second only to the emperor and above all others.
Not to mention marrying a wife, he could even arrange for three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines.
Who dares to say no?
But I don't know why.
He was pleased to hear her say no so seriously.
He and that woman named Ningzhi were not engaged.
It was only because the Duke of Ningguo deliberately promoted and publicized it.
He didn't bother to respond, which led everyone to believe that they were already engaged.
He raised his eyelids
"You say no, but by what status? Who are you to me?"
Su Yan opened her mouth, but couldn't really explain it.
She shut her mouth again and stopped talking.
Situ Xiu regretted it as soon as he finished speaking.
Seeing that she was silent and had her head down, he pulled her into his arms.
Speak
"I will consider what you say."
After I finished speaking, I saw that she didn't react.
He said again
"If we're talking about matching social status, then there will be no woman in this Heavenly Holy Kingdom who is a good match for me."
