Helian Sheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Duan Qingxi. He always felt that this woman looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere.
But he has never been interested in women and usually ignores them, so even if he has some impression of her, he can't remember where he has seen her.
"You saved me last night?"
"Oh, yes, and I was the one who cured you of the poison. You don't know that last night, in order to serve you, I..."
"What do you want?"
Duan Qingxi paused, obviously not expecting that Helian Sheng would be so direct!
However, she likes such direct people!
"Since Your Highness has spoken, there's no need for me to be polite. I'd like to exchange Your Highness's life for three conditions. Is Your Highness willing?"
Helian Sheng frowned, his eyes became stern, and the entire temple was shrouded in an oppressive chill.
"How dare you! Are you threatening me?!"
Duan Qingxi's expression remained unchanged as he smiled faintly, "Your Highness, you're joking. How could I dare threaten you? I'm merely negotiating a deal. Besides, you've been poisoned by a Gu, and it's going to take more than a day or two to completely cure this. I'll cure the poison for you, and you'll do me a few small favors. I think this deal is fair!"
Helian Sheng stopped talking. Although he felt that the poison that had tortured him day and night was no longer there, it was difficult to guarantee whether the poison had been completely eliminated.
Duan Qingxi saw this and continued, "Don't worry, I'm also a person who values my life. I won't pester you for too long. The favors I need from you are only small. Besides, His Majesty will need me in many places in the future. I believe His Majesty will not miss this opportunity to remove the poison, right?"
Although she is a woman, if she can really help him detoxify and only needs his help for a small matter, then he might consider it.
"What do you want me to do for you?"
Duan Qingxi raised her lips slightly and said, "I dare not hide it from you, Your Highness. I am actually Duan Qingxi, the eldest daughter of the Duan Mansion. Because I offended certain people, I was hunted down and almost lost my reputation. I finally managed to save my life. But you also know that in this world, a woman's innocence is particularly important. Although I still have my palace blood, it is inevitable that some people will dislike me and want to plot against me, so..."
Duan Qingxi deliberately paused, then raised his eyebrows suggestively at Helian Sheng.
She said it so directly, he should understand, right?
But Helian Sheng's face suddenly changed, and he angrily said, "You want me to take you as my concubine?!"
Duan Qingxi was also annoyed when she heard this, "Pooh! Pooh! Pooh! Who wants to be your concubine?"
Helian Sheng's expression grew increasingly grim, and he gritted his teeth as he said, "Could it be that you want to be my princess?! That's simply wishful thinking!"
"Damn you! Am I blind or stupid? How could I possibly want to be your princess?! I asked you to send someone to escort me back to the general's mansion and find a reason to prove my innocence so that everyone can shut up!"
Helian Sheng: ...
The scene suddenly became awkward. Xiaodai thought... if it were Helian Sheng, it would definitely feel extremely embarrassed!
But who knew that Helian Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "Not the best!"
Duan Qingxi also has a temper. You have to know that she is the eldest daughter of the Duan Group. She is loved by her father and brother in front, and has countless suitors behind. Some are attracted by her family background, some are attracted by her appearance, and of course there are also those who are only attracted by her as a person.
How could he possibly take Prince Helian Sheng seriously?
You have to know that in the 21st century, their Duan Group would be considered the king of a country in ancient times!
She has all the men she wants, so why would she be interested in an ancient prince?!
It's just... she has someone else in her heart, so she hasn't fallen in love yet.
"Humph! That's natural. Your Highness, don't worry. Although my eyesight is not good, I won't fall for you!"
The veins on both sides of Helian Sheng's temples bulged. This woman...why does she deserve a beating so badly?!
