Chapter 101: Seen from the inside out

Xie Zhuoning was in a coma for two days and two nights, and Xiao Jinxuan stayed with her for two days and two nights.

Whether it was feeding medicine or water, or washing the face and hands, he, a prince of great wealth and status, actually did everything himself.

If he hadn't been concerned about the difference between men and women, he would have probably taken on the entire job of applying and changing the dressings for Xie Zhuoning.

"Sister Zhuo Ning, please, please wake up soon. If you don't wake up, His Royal Highness Prince Xuan will bury me alive!"

While changing the medicine, Song Yuqiu whispered in Xie Zhuoning's ear.

The longer Sister Zhuo Ning was unconscious, the sharper and colder the look in Prince Xuan's eyes became.

It was as if he was not looking at a living person, but a cold corpse.

Several times, he looked at her so hard that her hair stood on end and her scalp exploded, and her heart was in her throat.

After wrapping the last bit of gauze around it, she looked at Xie Zhuoning who was lying on the bed without any reaction. For no reason, her eyes turned slightly red and her voice became choked with sobs.

"Sister Zhuoning, please wake up soon. I can't bear to leave you..."

Not only because she was afraid that Xiao Jinxuan would use her as a scapegoat, but also because Xie Zhuoning was the first person who gave her warmth after she came to this strange world.

She no longer regarded Xie Zhuoning as an ordinary friend, but regarded her as her closest relative.

"Are you ready?" It was Xiao Jinxuan urging outside the door.

Song Yuqiu raised his hand to wipe away his tears and responded loudly, "Okay."

After packing up her medicine box, she got up and went out.

Seeing Xiao Jinxuan standing upright at the door in a moon-white brocade robe, she bowed and prepared to leave.

But before she even stepped out of the door, she heard the man's cold voice, "When will she wake up?"

I've heard that His Royal Highness Prince Xuan is cold and distant, and doesn't like to talk much.

But he asked this question almost eight hundred times a day.

Song Yuqiu could only smile apologetically, "It depends on Sister Zhuo Ning's own wishes... If she has a strong desire to live, she might wake up tomorrow."

"knew."

Rarely, Xiao Jinxuan did not look at her as if she were a dead person. Instead, he waved his hand calmly, motioning her to leave.

Song Yuqiu felt relieved and quickly ran away with the medicine box on his back.

"Xie Zhuoning, don't you want to cancel the engagement?"

Xiao Jinxuan ran his fingertips along Xie Zhuoning's cheek. He sat beside the bed and looked at her peaceful sleeping face quietly.

"If Xiao Bicheng knew that you were unconscious, not only would he not cancel the engagement, he would also marry you lovingly. By then, he would have gained the righteousness of the world and the support of your father, and he could also be affectionate with other women. And you would get nothing except occupying the position of Crown Princess."

"Are you willing?"

Xie Zhuoning's eyelashes trembled, as if he really heard what he said.

"And your father, Lord Xie, went to war for many years to protect his country, but in the end he couldn't protect his own daughter. How guilty must he be? And you let him die before his daughter died, and he lived his whole life in self-blame and regret."

"Can you bear it?"

She bent her fingers slightly, as if trying to grasp something.

"Your father is in deep sorrow all day long and can only numb himself with alcohol. Then the family property you have worked so hard to take back will be returned to your uncle."

"Are you willing?"

Xie Zhuoning finally opened his eyes tremblingly, "You... stop talking..."

I have to say that Xiao Jinxuan knows how to arouse people's desire to survive.

If she continues talking, even if she goes to hell, she will open the coffin and jump up!

Xiao Jinxuan was slightly stunned and almost thought he was hallucinating.

It wasn't until his eyes met and he saw those clear and bright almond eyes like snow that he reacted.

He held the man in his arms and said softly, "Xie Zhuoning, you finally woke up."

"I have to stay awake. If His Royal Highness Prince Xuan continues talking, I will die with my eyes open..."

Xie Zhuoning curled the corners of his mouth, originally thinking of escaping a disaster and making a joke to liven up the atmosphere.

Unexpectedly, the man's hand tightened little by little, with such great force that he almost rubbed her into his bones.

"Xie Zhuoning, stop scaring me."

His voice was so soft, so soft that it seemed to tremble.

There was a buzzing sound in Xie Zhuoning's mind, as if something flashed by.

She coaxed him softly, as if to comfort a child, "Okay, okay, I'm fine now, right? By the way, can you give me a glass of water first?"

My throat is so dry and hoarse that it's almost smoking.

"Water!" Xiao Jinxuan immediately called someone to bring hot water.

He took the cup, blew away the hot steam gently, and passed it to Xie Zhuoning's mouth.

Xie Zhuoning laughed dryly. "I can ask a servant to do this kind of work. How can I ask His Royal Highness Prince Xuan to condescend to serve me?"

Xiao Jinxuan said calmly: "There are no servants in Prince Xuan's Mansion."

"Is this Prince Xuan's Palace?" Xie Zhuoning was surprised for a moment, then understood everything and whispered, "No wonder it looks so cold and unpopular."

There were no maids in Prince Xuan's mansion, so naturally no one served her tea.

You can't ask those guards to serve you personally, right?

"How about I come by myself?"

Xiao Jinxuan looked at her deeply, "Are you sure?"

Just drink some water, what's so uncertain about that?

Xie Zhuoning raised her hand to take the cup, but she didn't expect that this simple action would cause wounds all over her body, and she grimaced in pain.

Well, sometimes you can't be too stubborn.

"Don't move, let me take a look." Xiao Jinxuan immediately lifted the quilt and checked her wound.

Xie Zhuoning was only wearing a thin undershirt, and she didn't even have time to cover herself up. Her face was filled with embarrassment. "Well, Your Highness, I am still an unmarried girl after all."

Isn't it very rude of him to look around so casually?

After confirming that the wound was not broken, Xiao Jinxuan heaved a sigh of relief and raised his eyes with a smile, "Oh? Since you know that there are no maids in Prince Xuan's Mansion, then guess who treated your wounds? Who changed your medicine every day?"

Boom——

These words were like thunderbolts that struck Xie Zhuoning so hard that he was burnt on the outside but tender on the inside.

In other words, Xiao Jinxuan saw her naked from inside to outside?

After being stunned for a long while, she came back to her senses, frowned, and said very seriously, "Your Highness Prince Xuan, do you know that you can't look at a girl's body casually?"

"Yeah." Xiao Jinxuan nodded.

He was a man who always restrained himself and followed the rules, but when he met Xie Zhuoning, he repeatedly did outrageous things.

But he has no regrets.

The moment he picked up the scissors and decided to cut Xie Zhuoning's clothes himself, he had already thought of the answer in his mind.

After a pause, he said seriously, "I will be responsible for you..."

"Then we're even!"

Xiao Jinxuan raised his head suddenly, "What did you say?"

"We're even now," Xie Zhuoning explained. "I wanted to have it both ways before, but I was wrong. I paid the price for it and finally got my life back. Now that you've seen my body, we're even now."

"As for saving my life, I saved you once before, so we're even!"
