His words seemed to have caused a huge uproar, shocking the other two people present.

Bai Qingchen's face immediately turned cold and gloomy.

Mu Ci was shocked and stunned on the spot.

Wait, did she hear it right? This guy wants to marry her? ! ! Brother, you are the male lead!

Seeing that she seemed to have a hint of resistance, Wen Xiuqi suddenly felt uncomfortable and said directly: "Princess, you heard me right. I plan to repay you with my body!"

Come on, damn it, you are repaying kindness with enmity!

Mu Ci was horrified and quickly refused, saying, "No, no, no, no, that's not necessary. This princess always does what she wants. I helped you treat the cold poison because I had nothing to do. You don't need to repay me so solemnly. This princess doesn't need you to repay her, really not!"

Seeing her resist so resolutely, Wen Xiuqi felt very uncomfortable. His usually gentle face was now full of grievance and unwillingness. He even ignored Bai Qingchen who was present and looked at Mu Ci steadily, saying, "Princess, haven't you always liked me?"

Mu Ci: “…”

That's really not the case! It's the setting that likes you, it's the original owner!

It's not me anyway! It's none of my business!

The two of them were in a stalemate for a long time. Bai Qingchen, who was standing aside, had not looked happy since Wen Xiuqi said this.

Wen Xiuqi paused, sighed, and decided not to force her. He then said softly, "Princess, please think about it carefully. I will go back and prepare for the next thing."

Before leaving, he glanced at Bai Qingchen who was standing beside him with complicated eyes.

Bai Qingchen sneered. Why would this guy be hostile to him? He didn't like his junior sister, who was as stubborn as a donkey! She was fierce and not gentle, and...

As he was thinking, he suddenly couldn't think anymore.

His gaze slowly shifted to Mu Ci, who was still in a dazed state. It seemed that Wen Xiuqi's words just now had a great impact on her, and she still hadn't recovered.

Actually, if I can be with my junior sister in the future, it is not impossible. It should be very interesting...

Preparations for treating cold poison are proceeding in an orderly manner.

Mu Ci handed over some of the herbs he needed to Bai Qingchen. The main method of helping Wen Xiuqi treat the cold poison was through medicinal bath therapy. The herbs obtained from the extremely dangerous place needed to be mixed with the last drop of crystal dew, some other strong medicines, and then soaked.

People who are infected with cold poison can use their inner strength little by little during the medicinal bath, so that the medicinal properties can be slowly absorbed into the body. Eventually, the medicinal properties will counteract the cold poison and induce the soul-leaving syndrome. If the soul-leaving syndrome is suppressed and then recuperated for a period of time, it can be completely eliminated.

The location for treatment was chosen to be the Princess Palace.

The process of treating the cold poison was extremely dangerous and could not be disturbed in the slightest. Mu Ci sent a group of secret guards, including those arranged by Wen Xiuqi, to secretly guard the mansion to prevent sneak attacks.

After all, the previous sneak attack by the killer Shadow has not been resolved. Wen Xiuqi sent a lot of people but failed to find him. Mu Ci guessed that the guy was at least one of the protagonists and was probably rescued by the heroine Gong Rong.

Apart from the banquet held in the palace, he hasn't seen the heroine or anyone else recently. After waiting for such a long time, Mu Ci felt a little lazy.

It's just that Wen Xiuqi would trigger a small task from time to time, and they were all very strange, especially after she came back from an extremely dangerous place, the various small tasks seemed to be refreshing her presence from time to time.

Something like giving the male protagonist Wen Xiuqi a candied haws, something like buying a small clay figurine for the male protagonist Wen Xiuqi, something like giving the male protagonist Wen Xiuqi a warm greeting... and so on.

She was almost done buying every pair of shoes for Wen Xiuqi!

If she wasn't a princess this time, she probably wouldn't be able to afford such a big boss who spent a lot of money on her! Haha.

Moreover, there are no rewards for these trivial tasks, only punishments. The key is that Wen Xiuqi's face looks like "You see you like me", "I have pledged my love to you and you are still not happy", "What on earth do you want to do", "Do you want to have a flirt with me".

Mu Ci: “…”

Everything was ready, and Wen Xiuqi had been waiting at the princess's residence long ago.

"Prince Wen, are you ready?" Bai Qingchen walked up to Wen Xiuqi and asked seriously.

Wen Xiuqi nodded in response. This time he must successfully suppress the cold poison. He turned his head to look at Mu Ci, staring at her for a long time, and then walked into the room without saying a word.

Mu Ci looked at him. He originally thought that Wen Xiuqi wanted to say something, but who knew that the next moment he just walked away without any reaction.

In fact, Wen Xiuqi wanted Mu Ci to go in with him just now. If she was there, he might have more courage to control everything. But then he thought of the soul-leaving syndrome. If the irritable him came out, he might hurt her indiscriminately. So he suppressed the thought that had just come to his mind.

After Wen Xiuqi entered the room, Bai Qingchen and Mu Ci were waiting outside the door.

The medicinal material Bai Qingchen had been refined for a full seven days and was now all placed in the medicinal bath barrel in the room. Everything after that would depend on Wen Xiuqi's own luck.

"Aren't you going in to keep him company?" Bai Qingchen, who was standing nearby, suddenly asked.

Mu Ci replied directly: "Why should I go in? I don't know any medical skills. You should be the one to go!"

Bai Qingchen choked. He looked at Mu Ci, who had an indifferent expression, with complicated eyes. At this moment, he truly felt that this woman was really heartless!

I felt relieved for a moment, and I don't know why.

An incense stick of time had passed, and there was still no movement in the house.

Mu Ci suddenly became a little irritated.

"Will the medicinal bath really work? That guy might suffocate to death in there!" Mu Ci murmured.

"Junior sister, don't you trust me?" Bai Qingchen seemed completely calm.

"Of course I believe in your medical skills, but... aren't you anxious until your patient is discharged?" Mu Ci asked back.

"Why are you in such a hurry? You won't die. At most, you'll be a fool. There's nothing to panic about. Little sister, calm down. Come, I'll peel some melon seeds for you." Bai Qingchen was sitting under a pavilion nearby, cracking melon seeds and giving advice, quite nonchalantly.

Mu Ci was speechless: "..."

Is it okay that the male protagonist is mentally disabled? !

Before Mu Ci could think about it, she suddenly felt a murderous aura coming. She immediately tensed up, became extremely alert, and secretly kept vigilant.

“Someone’s coming!”

"Yeah." Bai Qingchen had already noticed it a second ago, but the other party had been hiding in the dark and not making a move, so he couldn't determine where he was for a moment. The teasing with Mu Ci just now was just a deliberate relaxation of his vigilance, waiting for an opportunity to act.

At this moment, it is estimated that this guy in the dark is about to take action!

Sure enough, after there was a sudden noise in the room where Wen Xiuqi was, the next moment, dozens of black shadows flashed in front of Mu Ci and Bai Qingchen. The man in the lead had a bloodthirsty aura and cold eyes without a trace of warmth. He looked at the two of them as if they were two dead objects.

When Mu Ci saw the man's face clearly, he immediately thought of the ambush a few months ago. This guy was the killer leader Shadow who had been missing for some time!

This guy has been silent. It turns out he was waiting for this moment. No wonder the last assassination mission was not completed. It turns out he was waiting for this moment.

There was some noise coming from the room where Wen Xiuqi was just now. It was estimated that he had been induced to suffer from the Soul-Leaving Syndrome. Wen Xiuqi in the state of the Soul-Leaving Syndrome was just a brainless and violent guy. To the experienced Shadow, he was no match for him.

This is the best time to assassinate him.

"Senior Brother!" Mu Ci secretly winked at Bai Qingchen.

Bai Qingchen nodded, and the two of them discussed secretly that one of them would lead him away.

Shadow then brought a lot of people with him and had already confronted the secret guards secretly arranged by Mu Ci. He was also accompanied by his left and right messengers. These two people had strange body movements, which was very disadvantageous for Mu Ci who stayed in the capital for many years. Bai Qingchen naturally knew the pros and cons of this, so he directly led the left and right messengers away and went to fight on the other side.

Facing Shadow, Mu Ci might still have a glimmer of hope, but facing the vicious Shadow Pavilion's left and right emissaries, she will only suffer losses.

Here, Shadow and Mu Ci have fought each other before. If Mu Ci were based on his previous strength, he would have been able to easily defeat Shadow. However, he had helped Wen Xiuqi recuperate some time ago, which had consumed most of his internal energy. Although he later cultivated his internal energy again, he still could not recover his previous strength. Therefore, Mu Ci was a little overwhelmed at the moment.

She was even nearly hit by Shadow's palms many times. She had a little sweat on her forehead and remained expressionless, but she was thinking about how to lure him away. After all, with her current strength, if she continued to fight like this, she would definitely not end up well in Shadow's hands.

Just when Mu Ci was secretly calculating the route to divert the enemy, suddenly the door of Wen Xiuqi's room was knocked away with a bang, and hit the stone table beside him with a clang, shattering the wood chips.

The two were shocked by the commotion and looked over there with caution.

Not long after, a man walked out of the room. He was wearing a white inner garment and no black outer garment. He was soaked through because he had just come out of the medicinal bath. The outline of his body was faintly outlined, revealing a kind of untapped power and a hint of beauty.

Wen Xiuqi... No, that's not right! It's Wen Xiuqi who is suffering from the soul-leaving syndrome, the irritable and brainless Xingzhou!

The corners of "Wen Xiuqi's" eyes were slightly red, his beautiful eyebrows were wrinkled, the corners of his mouth were coldly raised, and he exuded a bloodthirsty and violent aura.

Mu Ci looked at him carefully, thinking that maybe the man in front of him was Wen Xiuqi in an extreme emotional state. This guy seemed to have some intelligence.

Mu Ci's guess was correct. Wen Xiuqi's soul-leaving syndrome was triggered by the medicinal bath. However, because the medicinal juice had gradually alleviated some of the cold poison, Wen Xiuqi retained a small part of his rationality, but his negative emotions reached the highest level.

The "Wen Xiuqi" in front of him now is extremely terrifying.

It seems that she and Bai Qingchen made a mistake.

Mu Ci frowned, and various countermeasures kept coming to her mind, but she ruled them out one by one. At this moment, she really couldn't think of any way to control "Wen Xiuqi" at this moment. His fighting power was too high, and no one could easily get close to him.

However, the moment Shadow appeared, he stopped pestering Mu Ci and stared closely at "Wen Xiuqi", ready to strike at the right moment and kill him!

Suddenly, a white light appeared.

Mu Ci thought to himself that this was not good.

Shadow was planning to launch a sneak attack with a poisoned flying knife.

"Wen Xiuqi, be careful!" Although he knew that "Wen Xiuqi" was extremely powerful at the moment, his body still cried out in shock beyond his consciousness.

"Wen Xiuqi" glanced at Mu Ci lightly and then looked away. Then, when the poisoned flying knife was about to hit his upper body, he lightly raised his right hand, and the next moment, the palm wind filled with internal force knocked the flying knife to the ground.

Mu Ci took a breath.

The palm wind just now was so powerful that it almost harmed her. Mu Ci quickly jumped to the side, trying to stay away from the battlefield.

"Wen Xiuqi" ignored her, with a pair of cold eyes, his moves were very crisp and sharp, with murderous intent hidden, and he went straight to the shadow. The two of them fought directly on the roof, with broken walls and tiles, and the fight was fierce.

Mu Ci felt that her situation might not be very good in a while, but she couldn't just leave the dangerous "Wen Xiuqi" here alone. She thought about it, and suddenly remembered something. She hurried to her inner room, took something and stuffed it into her arms, then ran out again.

At this point, the two of them probably already had a clear winner. She thought Shadow had probably been defeated by now.

When he rushed over, just as Mu Ci had expected, Shadow was lying on the ground with blood at the corner of his mouth. He was holding his chest with a look of pain on his face, as if he had suffered extremely serious internal injuries.

As soon as Mu Ci arrived, "Wen Xiuqi"'s gaze fell on her. His eyes were icy cold, without a trace of warmth, as if he was just looking at a stranger, a stranger whose life and death he could decide at will.

"Wen Xiuqi" flashed and came directly in front of Mu Ci, raising his hand to strangle her neck. His eyes were slightly red, making his handsome face look a bit enchanting.

Mu Ci was startled and quickly took out the things he had taken from the room from his arms and held them in front of himself.

"Wen Xiuqi" froze, and the hand carrying murderous intent stopped in front of the thing.

It was a stupid cloth tiger, the one that Mu Ci saw when she turned over after waking up. It looked familiar. She thought it should be the pair of cloth tigers she gave him on the top of the hill. She just didn't know why Wen Xiuqi returned the cloth tigers, and the key point was that he only returned one.

However, Mu Ci believed that this cloth tiger must have a significant influence on Wen Xiuqi, so he hurriedly went into the house to get the cloth tiger and put it in his arms.

Although this cloth tiger may not work, at this moment we can only pray that Bai Qingchen and his family can come here quickly.

When "Wen Xiuqi" saw the cloth tiger, his body paused for a moment, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, the corners of his eyes became redder, and his expression was slightly gloomy, as if he was struggling.

Seeing this, Mu Ci immediately struck while the iron was hot and said, "Wen Xiuqi, I am a good person. I have never done anything to hurt you!"

Strong desire to survive!

"Wen Xiuqi" did not move. He frowned and listened to the familiar woman in front of him chattering in his ear. He was extremely annoyed. He made up his mind and directly pinched Mu Ci's fragile neck.

Mu Ci's breathing gradually became weaker.

Bai Qingchen was estimated to be almost there at this moment. Although he was facing life-threatening danger, seeing that what he said just now seemed to be effective, Mu Ci immediately added: "You...you must...overcome this difficulty. You...you are Wen Xiuqi, you can only be Wen Xiuqi! Don't forget, you still owe me a life, and you still have to pledge yourself to me! If you this time..."

She spoke intermittently, trying her best to stop "Wen Xiuqi" from tightening his arms, and tried to save him with her mouth.

Hearing her words, Wen Xiuqi's eyes darkened, his brows wrinkled slightly, and he struggled slowly, with two consciousnesses colliding in his mind, trying to break free and be reborn.

"If I recover this time, will the princess agree to my request?"

Suddenly, the hand on the neck gradually loosened its grip, and even began to stroke with a hint of soothing intent.

Mu Ci was stunned for a moment, and then he saw the man's eyes gradually become clear, and he regained consciousness without knowing when. His voice rang in his ears, with a cool and gentle voice like running water, speaking softly.

Mu Ci: “???”

She coughed lightly, took a few deep breaths, and looked at the person in front of her with complicated eyes.

Wen Xiuqi recovered?

Before she could confirm Wen Xiuqi's current condition, a prompt sounded in her mind, resolving her doubts.

[Main quest completed: Treat the male protagonist Wen Xiuqi for cold poison, and be rewarded with a well-made red wedding dress. The props have been sent to the prop column. Please check it. Thank you.]

The mission was accomplished, which meant that Wen Xiuqi's cold poison was cured.

Mu Ci thought, but...

Wait, a wedding dress? What kind of reward is a wedding dress? She is not really going to marry Wen Xiuqi!

Before Mu Ci could figure it out, Wen Xiuqi in front of him naturally pulled Mu Ci into his arms, then raised his hand to gently stroke the red mark from being pinched. The smile on his lips showed real emotion, and a hint of heartache appeared in his eyes.

"Princess, I'm sorry for what happened just now. I accidentally hurt you."

Mu Ci was held in his arms, her body still wet, and her face was almost pressed tightly against his chest. As the coldness from the cold poison had already dissipated from Wen Xiuqi's body, the warmth from his chest and the medicinal fragrance around him tightly surrounded Mu Ci, making her feel a little breathless.

She took a deep breath, pushed Wen Xiuqi away, and said bluntly: "What are you doing! I haven't promised you anything! Don't even think about giving yourself to me, and don't even think about becoming my consort. This princess doesn't just want you!"

The author has something to say: Today’s a nice chapter ~ please enjoy it, haha!

I found that many of you actually like my senior brother, (holding his chin)

Wen Xiaoqi's popularity is so low! (Confused)
