"Alright, behave yourself. It'll be over soon. I'll help you change your dressing."
Xie Lingqin regretted it as soon as she said it.
I meant to be serious, but I just realized that it sounded like a lover playfully scolding each other.
This is really... not like me at all.
Love is poisonous.
What are you thinking?
Yuwen Yao was undressing when he saw Xie Lingqin blushing and staring blankly. He asked her gently in a low voice.
Xie Lingqin glared at him, "Thinking of you is poisonous; it corrodes my heart."
Upon hearing this, Yuwen Yao was slightly taken aback, then suddenly burst into laughter. However, his laughter was short-lived, and he clutched his chest and began to cough.
Xie Lingqin quickly stepped forward to pat his back, "Serves you right, serves you right for being so arrogant, for being so willful, for sulking with me, for not taking care of yourself..."
Suddenly, Yuwen Yao grabbed her hand. His phoenix eyes were fixed on Xie Lingqin, their depths as gentle as the moonlight.
"Xie Lingqin, you are my poison, corroding my heart, my body, and my thoughts. For a day and a night, I am tormented by you and miss you. I can't control myself."
Xie Lingqin pursed her lips and chuckled reproachfully, "Alright, that's poison. Here, let me apply the medicine for you."
"Yes, I will obey my wife's command."
"Don't talk nonsense."
"Xie Lingqin, just you wait. I will marry you and bring you back to my Crown Prince's residence, so that you can be my Crown Princess openly and legitimately."
Xie Lingqin suddenly chuckled, "Alright, I want ten miles of brocade red, a hundred officials offering their blessings, and the whole world congratulating me. Can you do that?"
"Can."
Xie Lingqin's hand holding the medicine bottle stiffened slightly. She had been joking, but Yuwen Yao was serious; she could see the deep affection in his eyes.
“Then, I will take charge and make you the man behind me. I will always be in front, and you will not have to be behind me.”
"good."
Xie Lingqin couldn't continue speaking and quickly changed the subject, "Don't move, hurry up and take it off."
"My lady, you're telling me not to move, and you're telling me to take my clothes off. These orders are making me feel completely lost."
"Yuwen Yao, how come I never realized you were so good at talking?"
"Never heard of that. 'One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black'... Madam, please have mercy."
Xie Lingqin finally withdrew her hand from Yuwen Yao's back. "Behave yourself."
"My hands are sore and my whole body is in pain. Please help me take them off."
"you……"
"I know that the pain is in my body but the wound is in your heart."
"you……"
"I love seeing you look so distressed and heartbroken when you see me suffer."
Xie Lingqin shut her mouth, looking at Yuwen Yao's shirt, which was almost too wet to wear, and then at Yuwen Yao's expression.
Indeed, the gauze inside was almost completely stained with the inner garment.
Such a fastidious person, yet he insisted on waiting for her to arrive, truly...
How should I put it?
Xie Lingqin felt a pang of tenderness mixed with a sweet feeling. She immediately raised her hand and gently helped Yuwen Yao unbutton his clothes.
To be honest, getting close to someone just now is one thing, but getting even a decent glimpse of something at this close distance is quite another.
That figure...
That's fucking great.
He looks slim in clothes, but has a muscular build when he takes them off—definitely a solid physique.
Her skin wasn't the jade-white of a pretty boy, nor was it that tanned, vibrant wheat color, but it was so sexy that it made you swallow hard, wanting to reach out and touch it, lean on it.
Water droplets streamed down her firm chest; she was infinitely more beautiful than any picture book could depict her…
besides……
Look down.
Thankfully, he wasn't just wearing shorts, but that made it even more...
"Xie Lingqin, you're just helping me take off my clothes, why is your face so red?"
Suddenly, Yuwen Yao's voice, tinged with sarcasm, rang out from above.
Xie Lingqin immediately came to her senses, "It's so hot in here, I'm suffocating from the fumes."
"Your ears turned red from the smell?"
"Yuwen Yao, don't speak. I'll take off the gauze for you."
"Oh, thank goodness."
"Fortunately what?"
Xie Lingqin asked as she unwrapped the gauze.
"Luckily, you like my body, otherwise, I would be very sad."
Xie Lingqin...
"Yuwen Yao, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll pounce on you right now, believe it or not."
Xie Lingqin suddenly raised her head and said domineeringly, which made Yuwen Yao, who had been looking at Xie Lingqin with a mocking expression, pause in surprise.
His Adam's apple bulged, and he clearly swallowed.
“I would be most pleased to welcome you,” Yuwen Yao then said.
Xie Lingqin felt a surge of embarrassment and annoyance, but after a moment, her starry eyes flashed. "Is that so? With your stamina, and your current injuries..." Xie Lingqin touched Yuwen Yao's wound. Yuwen Yao gasped slightly, his sword-like eyebrows furrowing in pain.
"Yuwen Yao, with your looks, you think you can pounce on me? Or..." Xie Lingqin chuckled softly, "you want to be on the bottom."
"Xie Lingqin!"
So, be honest.
Let's see who's dirtiest!
Oh!
This time, Yuwen Yao behaved himself.
He was injured and looked down upon by the woman he loved. What could he do? He endured it and waited for his wounds to heal...
It was a rare opportunity to outmaneuver Yuwen Yao, and Xie Lingqin's heart suddenly fluttered with joy, as if a rabbit were leaping inside her. Her brows seemed to bloom with the quiet elegance of an orchid and the brilliance of a pearl.
Those starry eyes, illuminated by the glowing pearl, seemed to glow with warmth, as if they were reflecting the galaxy within one's heart.
"Yu Qingyi has successfully left the city."
In the quiet yet increasingly ambiguous atmosphere, something had to be said to distract him, so that Yuwen Yao wouldn't keep staring at that section of snow-white, jade-like neck in front of him.
Xie Lingqin didn't even look up, she was carefully applying the medicine. Hearing this, she nodded, "I know, Yu Qingyi secretly asked Yuanyang to come and talk to me. Speaking of which..." Xie Lingqin paused, "I always felt that Yuanyang was not an ordinary guard, and Yu Qingyi was a little afraid of that Yuanyang."
“Yuanyang was arranged to be by his side by someone else…”
"Huh? Who is it that has this skill?"
“A woman who secretly loves him, but whom he doesn’t dislike, sss.”
"I'm sorry, I'm so shocked. Don't worry, I'll be gentle." Xie Lingqin said, but her shocked gaze lingered for a long time. "Really?"
"I have not lied to you."
"Yu Qingyi is really lucky. What about Nie Zuier? What's her background with Prince Yi?"
"This matter is a long story, I'll tell you next time you give me my medicine."
"Yuwen Yao, if you keep acting inappropriately, I'm really going to pounce on you and make sure you're traumatized for the rest of your life."
The shadow that cannot be above.
So Yuwen Yao became obedient again, gritting his teeth, with a hint of resentment.
The gauze was removed, the medicine was carefully applied, and then the wound was wrapped with gauze again, all of which went very smoothly.
"Alright, let's go, go out and get some rest."
Xie Lingqin picked up the medicine bottle and gauze from the ground and helped Yuwen Yao to his feet.
"Your Highness, the Emperor has sent Eunuch Ni to see you. He is already in the courtyard."
The two had barely moved when the sound of wind came from outside the dark room.
