Jiang Shi has suffered many assassination attempts in the past seventeen years.
He knew that as long as he was alive, no one would want him to have a good life.
He had seen too many people die in front of him, and many people had died for him.
But when he saw Yu Tanqi lying in his arms with a weak breath, his heart beat violently because of fear.
He was afraid that she would leave him too.
"Tan Qi, don't sleep. Stay awake. We'll be home soon. With Doctor Xu here, you'll be fine."
He looked down at Yu Tanqi from time to time, his voice trembling, afraid to see her close her eyes.
Yu Tanqi tried hard to smile and responded softly.
I can’t sleep, because if I do I won’t be able to wake up.
The girl was already fragile, and the arrow pierced her shoulder, causing serious injuries.
I don't know if the arrow is poisonous.
She endured the weakness and powerlessness and did not let herself close her eyes.
Fortunately, they did not encounter the killer again on their way back.
Finally returning to the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, Jiang Shi appeared in the medicine garden holding Yu Tanqi. Xu Mubai was checking the herbs. When he heard the sound, he looked up and was startled.
The boy's black eyes turned red, his chest was stained with blood, and his voice was hoarse: "Doctor Xu, please save her quickly."
Xu Mubai's expression changed, and he hurried forward to check on Yu Tanqi's condition.
Yu Tanqi was not in a good mental state. She began to feel dazed and could not hear their voices clearly.
After vaguely hearing that her life was not in danger, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes went dark, and she fainted with relief.
Jiang Shi pursed her lips. In order to prevent her from feeling pain, Xu Mubai sprinkled medicine on her to make her faint.
Looking at the girl's pale and weak face, his heart ached.
He hated this feeling.
Why do the people he cherishes always get hurt or leave because of him?
His parents and grandmother all left him one by one.
Is he a naturally unlucky person?
Xu Mubai said, "Hold her shoulders. I want to pull the arrow out."
He lowered his eyes and did as he was told.
The girl's shoulders were slender and thin, and he pressed them tightly. Suddenly, he thought that she was very delicate and was afraid of the bitterness of medicine. She often acted like a spoiled child and refused to take the medicine.
How painful must it be for her when the sharp arrow pierced her shoulder?
But she still took the blame for her without hesitation.
The first words he said after being shot were "Be careful."
His eyes suddenly turned red again.
The sun was scorching hot in the early summer afternoon, but he felt no warmth and a chill ran down his spine.
Xu Mubai carefully pulled out the arrow and was about to tear off the fabric of his clothes when a blue piece of fabric suddenly appeared in front of him.
Jiang Shi tore off his clothes.
Xu Mubai reached out to take it, sprinkled some medicine powder on it, and carefully wrapped it around Yu Tanqi's injured shoulder.
After wrapping her up, he said, "Carry her into the house first. I'll go get the medicine."
Jiang Shi carefully carried Yu Tanqi into a room.
Xu Mubai suddenly saw the blood on his back and his face changed: "Prince, you are injured on the back."
The young man didn't even turn his head or stop walking: "It's okay, go get the medicine."
Xu Mubai frowned slightly and finally sighed.
After he brought the medicine over, Jiang Shi took it and whispered, "I'll apply the medicine to her."
Xu Mubai looked at him, wanting to say something but stopping himself. In the end, he said nothing and turned to leave.
Jiang Shi carefully untied the cloth strips and pulled open the girl's blood-soaked clothes, revealing a section of her snow-white, slender shoulders.
He had no romantic thoughts. When he saw the blood hole, his breath was choked and he almost dropped the ointment in his hand.
He didn't dare to think too much. His pale and slender fingers picked up the milky ointment and gently applied it to her wound.
Fortunately, Yu Tanqi was in a coma due to the Chinese medicine and did not feel any pain.
After he carefully applied the medicine, his back was already wet and cold.
The wound should not be covered as this will affect healing.
Fortunately, it is summer and she won't catch a cold.
Jiang Shi looked at Yu Tanqi's pale and weak little face, a little dazed.
After a while, he suddenly leaned over and gently kissed her lips.
His lips trembled slightly, gently touching her warm lips, as if only in this way could he feel that she was still alive.
The boy closed his eyes, and a hot tear fell from the corner of his eye and dripped onto Yu Tanqi's cheek.
She was unconscious and motionless, so naturally she couldn't feel his emotions at the moment.
She is alive, she will not die.
After a long time, Jiang Shi stood up, feeling a little dizzy and almost unable to keep his balance.
The arrow wound in his back had to be healed.
Jiang Shi took off his clothes expressionlessly, revealing his lean upper body.
Contrary to rumors, he has a fair complexion but is not thin. He has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, with tight muscles, and is very handsome.
The wound was under the butterfly bone and he couldn't see it, so he could only apply medicine with his backhand.
The wound did not penetrate the body, and his injury was not serious at all compared to Yu Tanqi's.
He didn't use anesthetic powder, but applied the medicine directly.
The pain made his brain clearer.
…
Yu Tanqi opened his eyes and instantly felt pain in his shoulder.
As she frowned, her consciousness gradually became clear.
She is still alive.
Yu Tanqi stared blankly at the ceiling of the bed, and Jiang Shi's hoarse voice rang in his ears.
"You're awake now. Does the wound still hurt?"
She tilted her head and saw Jiang Shi sitting on the edge of the bed. His narrow black eyes were bloodshot and he looked a little tired, as if he had not rested for a long time.
She blinked and gave a pale smile, "It's okay, it just hurts a little."
Jiang Shi looked at her, his fingertips trembling slightly.
The little girl, who was afraid of bitter medicine, endured the pain without saying a word after an arrow pierced her shoulder. When she finally woke up, she did not act like a spoiled child or cry, but instead tried hard to make herself look fine.
How could he not feel sad about this?
He suddenly stood up and leaned over to touch her forehead.
Yu Tanqi was stunned and stared blankly at the enlarged face in front of him.
Her breathing hitched, and the boy's warm breath sprayed on her face, itching, and her cheeks began to heat up.
He quickly stood up and said, "Fortunately, I don't have a fever."
Yu Tanqi's long eyelashes trembled slightly, she lowered her eyes and pursed her lips.
Jiang Shi's voice was hoarse: "Don't do this again in the future. There will be guards to protect us."
Yu Tanqi whispered, "I know, but what if? I don't want you to get hurt."
Jiang Shi was stunned.
It had been a long time since he had heard anyone tell him that they didn't want him to get hurt.
The only person who ever said that to him was his grandmother when she was still alive.
"I know I'm weak, but I also want to protect you." Her voice was soft and sweet, like a piece of melted honey, unexpectedly stuffed into his heart.
He suddenly wanted to hug her.
However, his gaze fell on her injured shoulder, his eyes stinging, and he whispered: "You are my fiancée, I should be the one to protect you, how can I let you protect me. Fortunately, you are okay..."
If something really happened to her, he didn't know what would become of him.
He couldn't bear the pain of getting and then losing, for he was afraid he would collapse.
What he had was too little, and he couldn't afford to lose her again.
