Ye Qingxue was slightly taken aback, looking at the arm he stretched out in front of her. Although it was thin and the veins were visible, it seemed to contain infinite power.
She was just joking, but his scarred wrists were resolutely extended. This was Yun Zhuo's sincerity, and she was shocked, as if something had hit her heart hard.
In fact, in her mind, the deposed crown prince and Prince Ding were no different; they were both people who would fight tooth and nail for the throne. They were princes, and they were willing to sacrifice anyone for that position.
It just so happens that she and Yun Zhuo share a common enemy, which is why they walk this extremely short path together.
Therefore, Ye Qingxue did not expect that Yun Zhuo would actually let her bite him.
Ye Qingxue smiled faintly and pushed his arm away: "Did you wash up after you came back? The smell of sweat and blood mixed together doesn't smell good at all. You should leave."
After saying that, Ye Qingxue was about to turn her face away, but to her utter surprise, her chest churned violently, and before she could react, she vomited a mouthful of blood.
It sprinkled on her pale chin and on Yun Zhuo's arm, which he hadn't had time to retract.
Yun Zhuo's pupils contracted slightly. At this moment, she realized deeply that it was true when she said that she didn't have much time left.
Footsteps came from outside, and it was Granny Xing walking over. She was talking to Chunqian: "I made some underwear and socks for Miss, but I forgot to give them to her. I'll take them over now and see if she likes them."
Chun smiled and replied, "Miss will definitely like it! Since returning to the Marquis's residence, no one has ever made these things for her, not even Madam Zhou."
The rest of the words were spoken in a low voice, and a barely audible sigh could be heard between them.
Ye Qingxue swayed precariously and slid off the bed. Yun Zhuo quickly caught her, and she leaned on his shoulder, her mouth stained with a lot of blood.
She spoke with great difficulty: "Find an excuse not to let the old woman in... in."
Yun Zhuo heard the footsteps outside getting closer and closer. He looked around and suddenly picked Ye Qingxue up from the bed.
"Miss, you still want to spar with me so late? Fine, I'll keep you company to the end!" Yun Zhuo said loudly, and jumped out of the window with Ye Qingxue in his arms.
Granny Xing and Chunqian heard someone leap out of the window. When they entered Ye Qingxue's room, they found no one there.
Granny Xing looked at Chunqian: "It's so late, is Miss still going out to spar with Young Master Ling?"
Chunqian was also surprised, as nothing like this had happened before.
The young lady was already exhausted from dealing with all the troublemakers in the Marquis's mansion every day, and with the deadly poison in her body, she simply didn't have the energy to go out and spar with others so late at night.
But what they had just heard wasn't false either.
Chunqian guessed, "Miss probably hasn't practiced in a long time and is itching to show her skills, which is why she insisted on sparring with Young Master Ling. Granny, put down the clothes and socks, and she'll see them when she gets back. I'll take Granny to rest."
Granny Xing rushed over from the Jingzhou estate, anxious and worried. The journey was quite long, and she was also quite old and tired, so she didn't insist. She put down the clothes and socks and went out with Chunqian.
Yun Zhuo carried Ye Qingxue back to his small room and placed her on his small bed. Fortunately, the blood she vomited was spilled on both of them; otherwise, even if he had carried her out, Granny Xing would have discovered it.
“That old woman cares about you. Keeping this a secret is not a long-term solution,” Yun Zhuo said softly.
Ye Qingxue remained silent for a long time, but then said, "Please help me tell Chunxia and Dong to keep quiet and try to coax Granny back to Jingzhou Manor as soon as possible, so that she doesn't know that I'm about to die."
Yun Zhuo nodded slightly and tucked the blanket around her: "You should rest here properly. I'll come and take you back after I've finished instructing them."
Ye Qingxue closed her eyes wearily.
Yun Zhuo got up to leave, but then noticed the bloodstains on her lips and chin. She wanted to wipe them clean with her sleeve, but then felt that her outer garment was too stiff, so she revealed the sleeve of her inner garment and held it to wipe them for her.
Ye Qingxue was startled.
She suddenly opened her eyes and stared at him blankly.
Yun Zhuo was only focused on whether her bloodstains had been wiped clean, and did not look into her eyes, as if he did not notice her abnormality.
After going out to inform Chunxiadong, he returned with Xiaobao behind him and said in a low voice, "She just vomited a lot of blood. Can you check how she is now? Should we invite Xiangsizi over?"
Because Xiao Bao was the only one who could heal her injuries, Yun Zhuo trusted him a lot and knew that his eyes were different from ordinary people, allowing him to see things that others could not.
Xiao Bao sat down by the bed and saw Ye Qingxue's pale, bloodless face. Her round, big, clear eyes suddenly turned red, as if tears were about to well up, but he didn't cry.
He took Ye Qingxue's hand and placed it in his own soft, plump hands, holding it tightly.
"Today is the sixth day. In four more days, Mother will die. In the coming days, Mother will only get weaker and weaker." Xiao Bao's voice was childish but very serious.
“Even if you summon the love-sick seeds, it won’t help.” Xiao Bao said, “Mother, can I sleep with you tonight? I’ve never slept with you before.”
Although his hands were white, plump, and soft, they were as cold as ice. Ye Qingxue felt as if her hands were wrapped in ice.
If I sleep with Xiaobao... what's the difference between that and sleeping in the freezing cold?
Yun Zhuo grabbed Xiao Bao and pulled him away: "She's not really your mother. If you want to sleep with your mother, go find your real mother. Don't take advantage of a young virgin."
Xiao Bao stomped his foot angrily: "She is my real mother! One day, you will all believe what I say!"
