Yun Chuwei felt Xie Xuan's burning heat emanating from his cheek.
He seemed to have a fever.
He seemed genuinely uncomfortable and started moving closer to her.
Yun Chuwei reached out and pinched his chin, forcing him to look at her.
Yun Chuwei said, "You should know that the Crown Prince would target you, right? You couldn't possibly be so careless, could you? Xie Xuan, did you deliberately drink the drugged wine?"
She couldn't believe that Xie Xuan, who had experienced the previous life, would be so unguarded.
Xie Xuan was startled, and his eyes seemed to clear a little. He struggled and released Yun Chuwei.
He stood with his head down, trying his best to endure the unbearable feeling all over his body. He spoke, his voice hoarse.
"Weiwei, I did it on purpose."
His hands clenched, and his whole body trembled slightly.
Yun Chuwei asked, "Why?"
“Because…” Xie Xuan seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying, “You secretly arranged for people to help Xie Sheng build a good reputation. Weiwei, why did you help him? Why… did you ignore me? You let my reputation get worse and worse, you didn’t even think of going to Father Emperor to plead for me… you…”
He hadn't actually intended for Yun Chuwei to do these things for him.
But knowing what Yun Chuwei had done for Xie Sheng, he...
Xie Xuan looked up, his slightly red eyes gazing at Yun Chuwei, his eyelashes trembling slightly, his voice almost choked with emotion: "Weiwei, do you even have a heart?"
Yun Chuwei met Xie Xuan's eyes, her heart trembling slightly. She could only whisper, "This matter isn't what you think. I'll explain the details to you later. What does this have to do with you deliberately being drugged?"
Xie Xuan trembled slightly, whether from anger or the effects of the medicine, it was hard to tell.
He continued, "I was thinking, if I were drugged, would you help me...? If you help me, can I then cling to you and make you take responsibility...?"
Yun Chuwei: ...
She hadn't expected that this person would think that way.
She gritted her teeth: "Xie Xuan, you really are..."
She fell silent after saying this.
Because she didn't know how to describe it.
Xie Xuan saw that Yun Chuwei seemed about to speak but hesitated, so he turned away.
He reached out and pressed his hand to his heart, panting and trying to calm himself.
He suppressed the unbearable feeling in his heart, lifted his heavy foot, and took a step towards the door.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Yun Chuwei grabbed his hand.
"Where are you going?" Yun Chuwei asked Xie Xuan.
Xie Xuan looked down at the small hand that was gripping his, his breath hitching. He whispered, "Anywhere... is fine..."
Yun Chuwei pulled him back, pressed him against the wall, and asked, "Did I say you could leave? Hmm?"
Xie Xuan felt wronged: "Yun Chuwei, do you even have a sense of reason?"
Yun Chuwei leaned closer to him and said, "I'm very reasonable. Since you're my fiancé, don't bother other girls to cure this lousy drug for you!"
After saying that, she tiptoed and kissed his lips.
Xie Xuan was overjoyed.
He held Yun Chuwei's slender waist and responded to her kiss.
However, such contact did not alleviate the uncomfortable feeling.
He leaned against the wall, lifted Yun Chuwei up, and held her tightly in his arms.
He raised his head, looked up at Yun Chuwei, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Weiwei, is what you said true?"
Because of Xie Xuan's support, Yun Chuwei is now much taller than Xie Xuan.
She rested her elbow on his shoulder and looked down at him: "Really?"
After saying that, she kissed his lips again.
Xie Xuan trembled slightly as he carried her toward the bed.
-
A night of absurdity.
When Xie Xuan woke up, he found the girl lying in his arms, fast asleep.
Xie Xuan's gaze fell on the bruises on the girl's body. He pursed his lips and said softly, "This skin is indeed very delicate."
Last time, when he bit her shoulder and drew blood, he knew that her skin...
It's not something you can touch.
But he couldn't control himself last night!
At first, when she pressed him down on the soft couch and tore at his clothes, he was able to restrain his impulses.
Later, when he saw her lying motionless in his arms, saying sweetly that she was sleepy, his rationality completely shattered.
"I'm sorry!" He reached out his finger, wanting to touch the bruises on her body, but in the end he withdrew his hand.
He was afraid of waking her.
So he lay there quietly, gazing at the person beside him.
After a long while, Yun Chuwei opened her eyes and met Xie Xuan's gaze.
She didn't say anything, and sat up.
She raised her hand and saw the marks on her body, but she didn't care much.
Instead, he took the clothes and draped them over his shoulders.
Then, he got out of bed.
Xie Xuan quickly went over, knelt on the bed, and took her hand.
"Weiwei, are you angry?" He looked up at Yun Chuwei and asked in a low voice.
When Yun Chuwei met his pitiful eyes, she couldn't bear to say anything harsh, and simply said, "No."
"Then why aren't you talking to me and why are you leaving?" He sounded even more aggrieved.
Yun Chuwei was silent for a moment, then explained, "I just wanted to take a bath. Aren't you overthinking it?"
At this hour, it's not fully light yet, and the migrating geese haven't gotten up.
She wanted to take advantage of this time difference to take a bath so that Guiyan wouldn't notice anything.
After all, if Guiyan finds out, it's the same as if her mother finds out. And if her mother finds out, it's the same as if the old lady finds out.
That will be very awkward.
Upon hearing this, Xie Xuan quickly put on his clothes, then went to Yun Chuwei's side and picked her up in his arms.
"I'll take you to take a bath!"
Yun Chuwei: ...
Yun Chuwei said that they were just engaged, so did this person cross the line?
Xie Xuan looked at the person in his arms with a wronged expression and whispered, "Weiwei, do you dislike me? Don't you want me to hold you?"
Yun Chuwei had no choice but to let Xie Xuan carry her over, serve her a bath, and even massage her.
-
Also taking a bath was Cui Yuetuan, who was in the East Palace.
The person kneeling by the bathtub, massaging Cui Yuetuan's back, was none other than Yun Qianming, who had become a eunuch.
After Cui Yuetuan sent Yun Qianming to the palace for castration, she disfigured him and severed his tendons.
At this point, the tendons in the hands and feet have been reconnected. Although excessive force cannot be exerted, slight movements are not a problem.
In short, Yun Qianming is now a eunuch. His voice has changed, he has become emaciated, and his face is disfigured. Most people wouldn't recognize him at all.
Moreover, because her tendons and limbs had been reconnected, she couldn't even hold a knife, so Cui Yuetuan could keep her by his side without worry.
However, Cui Yuetuan still felt that sometimes he was not very useful.
For example, right now.
She slapped Yun Qianming across the face and said, "You can't even massage a shoulder properly, your strength is as light as cotton, you're really useless!"
Yun Qianming was caught off guard and fell to the ground.
He looked at Cui Yuetuan, his eyes filled with hatred.
Cui Yuetuan was quite satisfied.
She wanted to see Yun Qianming hate her, but he could only cower in the mud, unable to do anything.
