All that could be seen on Long Fantian's chest were numerous old knife wounds, red, swollen, and cracked, presumably caused by the recurrence of old wounds due to the poison in his body.
It's easy to imagine that the injury was so deep that the bone was visible.
As Mu Tiantian had instructed, Qiu Feng brought over the medicinal powder and liquid.
Mu Tiantian mixed the two ingredients little by little into a paste, applied it to the wound on his chest, and then bandaged it with gauze.
As for the other open wounds, she left them to Qiufeng to treat.
However, just as she was about to leave the room to avoid suspicion, Long Fantian suddenly grabbed her hand and wouldn't let go.
Seeing that he was unconscious and weak, how could he have such great strength to grab people?
No matter how hard Mu Tiantian tried to shake her off, she couldn't, so she had to physically pry her off.
Long Fantian suddenly coughed a few times, his brows furrowed and his forehead covered in a fine sweat, looking as if he was in great pain.
He gripped her hand even tighter.
"Miss Lin, why don't you stay?" Qiu Feng didn't want to trouble the prince any further. After a while, remembering Chun Yu's instructions, she handed the ointment to Mu Tiantian. "Why don't you apply the ointment to the prince, Miss Lin? I... I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
"Hey, no, where are you going..." Mu Tiantian had just stood up and was about to call out to Qiufeng when her wrist was pulled hard before she could even stand up straight.
She collapsed onto Long Fantian, whose chest heaved as he coughed softly.
Mu Tiantian quickly propped herself up, her arms pinned to her sides, his honey-colored chest muscles rising and falling before her eyes, steady and powerful.
Her cheeks flushed, and she quickly sat up.
"Thirsty..." Long Fantian mumbled in a daze.
Mu Tiantian didn't hear clearly and leaned closer.
Long Fantian slightly lifted his eyelids and, through the blur, saw the soft, bright red lips so close to his face; they looked delicious.
He felt both thirsty and hungry.
"What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly. Say it again," Mu Tiantian asked softly.
Long Fantian opened his mouth, and Mu Tiantian, thinking he was about to speak, leaned closer to hear him.
To everyone's surprise, the next moment Mu Tiantian felt a sharp pain in her earlobe.
He actually bit her!
"Let go, let go..." Mu Tiantian slapped his mouth with her other free hand.
However, Long Fantian grabbed her flailing hands and pinned them to his sides. Mu Tiantian's hands were restrained on either side of him, and she almost fell onto him.
Suddenly, Mu Tiantian felt a wet touch on her earlobe. Her body stiffened, and she struggled to break free, but only managed to free one hand.
She covered her ears, her face flushed with embarrassment.
Why is he so restless in his sleep? Biting is one thing, but why is he licking?
“Hungry…” Long Fantian mumbled incoherently.
This time, Mu Tiantian learned her lesson and didn't get too close. She just sat on the edge of the bed and stared at his lips. After a while, she saw his thin lips slightly part and he made a weak sound.
"thirsty..."
This time, Mu Tiantian heard clearly and shouted outside, ordering someone to bring water.
He calmed down after she fed him water, and the large hand that had been holding her loosened its grip a little.
Seeing that Mu Tiantian's face was as red as a blooming red flower, Chunyu asked with concern, "Miss Lin, your face is so red. Do you have a fever too?"
Mu Tiantian pursed her lips and coughed twice. "It's nothing."
Chunyu subconsciously took a closer look and noticed that her ears were also very red, but only one ear was bright red.
"Then this servant will go out first. Miss Lin can call me again if you need anything." After saying that, Chunyu didn't give Mu Tiantian a chance to react and disappeared in a flash.
Mu Tiantian: "......" She ran way too fast!
Mu Tiantian stood a few steps away from the bed and rubbed her wrist, which had been scratched red.
In order to prevent his condition from worsening.
Mu Tiantian had no choice but to grit her teeth and apply medicine to the wound on his leg.
It took a lot of effort, but thankfully it ended peacefully in the end, and Long Fantian didn't make any trouble.
Just as she covered him with the blanket and was about to leave, her wrist was grabbed again, by the same hand, in the same spot.
Mu Tiantian sighed deeply. Here we go again.
She's not getting any rest today.
Long Fantian made no other move, just kept holding onto her and wouldn't let go.
Mu Tiantian simply stayed by the bedside, too lazy to make a fuss.
She asked Chunyu to fetch a basin of water and place it by the bedside so she could cool him down.
As soon as she put the things down, Chunyu ran away incredibly fast, as if she had seen a monster, not wanting to stay a moment longer.
Mu Tiantian wiped the sweat off Long Fantian's body. His body temperature had dropped a lot, and he should be fine after a night's sleep.
Exhausted, she sat down on the footstool and lay down to sleep by the bed.
At midnight.
"thirsty..."
She vaguely heard the sound and rubbed her eyes.
Long Fantian's lips were very dry, and he kept saying he was thirsty with his eyes closed. Mu Tiantian yawned, poured him a glass of water, and fed it to him, but he was uncomfortable lying down. He frowned and subconsciously tried to sit up.
But he was too weak to stand up. Mu Tiantian noticed him struggling and helped him, then pouted and complained, "What a nuisance! Go to sleep after you've had your fill... yawn... I'm so sleepy..."
Mu Tiantian squinted, put down the water glass, and then helped him lie down.
Long Fantian, still half-asleep, saw the red lips in front of him, which looked like cherries. He remembered that the bite he had taken before didn't seem to be the same, so he subconsciously leaned forward and took a bite.
Mu Tiantian felt a sharp pain in her lips, her drowsiness vanished instantly, her eyes widened, and her body instinctively leaned back, but he caught up with her.
Long Fantian frowned slightly, displeased with her fidgeting. He held her head in his large hand as she moved, and lingered his lips on hers, occasionally giving her a light bite.
Mu Tiantian's lips had very thin skin, and a small cut appeared after just a light bite, filling her mouth with a faint taste of blood.
The tingling pain instantly energized Mu Tiantian, who then abruptly pushed Long Fantian away.
Long Fantian's upper body slumped down, and he fell into a deep sleep as soon as his head touched the pillow, unaware that he had eaten what he wanted.
Mu Tiantian was left sitting at the foot of the bed, unable to come back to her senses for a long time, her heart pounding so hard she couldn't stop.
That's insane.
...
The next morning.
Long Fantian awoke with a throbbing pain in his temples. Apart from some dizziness, the poison in his body and the wounds on his body no longer caused him as much pain as before.
A faint, sweet, and slightly fishy taste lingered on my lips, and suddenly a series of images flashed through my mind.
“A dream…” Long Fantian murmured.
Qiu Feng and Xia Yang brought in breakfast.
"Your Highness, you're awake. Miss Lin's calculations were truly accurate." Xia Yang's smiling face contrasted sharply with Qiu Feng's expressionless expression.
Long Fantian got up, dressed, and asked calmly, "What do you mean by 'truly accurate'?"
"Miss Lin said that you would probably wake up around this time, and asked us to bring you breakfast. All of this was made by Miss Lin." Xia Yang couldn't help but praise, "Miss Lin's medical skills are excellent, and her cooking skills are also excellent. No wonder she is Chef Shi's apprentice."
Xia Yang was also a chatterbox, and once he started talking, he would never stop. He remembered what Mu Tiantian had told him and said to Long Fantian, "Miss Lin went to see Ulana. She said she would come to discuss something important with you in a little while and asked you to wait for her. It's about her wedding to the Emperor."
Long Fantian nodded, somewhat absentmindedly, his mind filled with the image of him kissing her.
Is this... a dream...?
