Chapter 132 I have nothing to repay you with but my body.
There was no one else in the room, and the composure Yun Si had been maintaining finally crumbled completely.
The moment the door closed gently, my tense back instantly relaxed.
She lay limply on the edge of the bed, burying her face in Qin Ye's cool palm, her shoulders trembling slightly uncontrollably.
The lingering fear, like a cold tide, finally surged forth, almost engulfing her.
She almost lost him forever.
If she had been just a moment later...
If there's even the slightest error with her antidote...
She dared not think any further and could only hold his hand tighter, as if only in this way could she confirm that he was really still there and had really been pulled back from the brink of death.
Warm tears welled up silently, soaking his palms and the brocade quilt.
She remained in that position, letting her emotions flow freely.
I only felt much lighter after I had completely vented.
The sky outside the window gradually darkened, and the study was dark and gloomy as no lights were turned on.
Yun Si raised her head, her eyes red and swollen, but her gaze had regained its clarity and determination.
She brought warm water and gently wiped away the cold sweat from Qin Ye's forehead and the dried blood from his lips.
Her movements were gentle and focused, her fingertips brushing over his handsome yet pale eyebrows, his high nose, and his tightly pursed thin lips.
Every part is cherished and treated with utmost care.
This man, whether in his past life or this one, has sacrificed far too much for her.
She owes him two lives.
The debt of gratitude is so great that it would take several lifetimes to repay it.
"Qin Ye."
Yun Si called to him softly, her voice hoarse yet gentle: "Get well soon."
She tucked him in, then sat quietly on the footstool by the bed, holding his hand and watching over him without blinking.
In the darkness, her gaze remained fixed on his face, listening to his breathing gradually become steady and long, and a sense of peace settled in her heart.
No matter how much wind and rain there is outside, or how many eyes are watching, at this moment, all she wants is to stay with him.
As night deepened, all was quiet.
After an unknown amount of time, the person on the bed let out a very soft, almost inaudible murmur, their long eyelashes trembling slightly, as if showing signs of waking up.
Yun Si immediately held her breath, moved closer, and stared at him nervously.
Qin Ye's eyelashes trembled a few times before he slowly opened them.
My consciousness had not fully returned, and my vision was blurry.
But instinctively, he grasped the soft hand that had been enveloping his palm with an extremely weak grip.
His gaze struggled to focus in the dim light, finally settling on the blurry yet incredibly familiar silhouette beside the bed.
“Yun Si”.
His voice was weak and hoarse as he called her name uncertainly.
"I am here."
Yun Si quickly replied, "Qin Ye, I'm here."
Upon confirming that it was indeed Yun Si, a look of surprise flashed across Qin Ye's eyes.
Why are you crying?
He could vaguely see that her eyes were a little red, and Qin Ye suddenly realized something, a smile playing on his lips: "Is it because of me?"
Yun Si didn't mince words and nodded honestly, "Mm."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ye's smile deepened: "Then it would be worth it for me to die."
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Yun Si pressed her fingers to his lips, her nose stinging with tears: "I finally managed to develop the antidote and cure this poison. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have suffered like this..."
"It was my own choice."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Si suddenly stood up and kissed his slightly cool lips.
Qin Ye lay on the bed, his body slightly stiff.
Before he could even react to the kiss, Yun Si had already pulled away.
Qin Ye's gaze lingered on her lips, a hint of lingering desire in his eyes.
"come over."
His gaze deepened, revealing a gleaming desire.
Yun Si saw what he was trying to do and shook her head sternly: "No."
"Yun Si!"
"Your body is still weak..."
Before the word "weak" could even leave his lips, Yun Si was pulled close by him, lifted onto the bed with one hand, and pressed into his arms.
Is it weak?
Qin Ye's thin lips brushed against her ear as he asked, "Want to give it a try?"
Yun Si was startled.
He just woke up, how could he have such strength?
That's such a fast recovery!
"Qin Ye, don't do anything reckless."
Yun Si was genuinely worried about his health.
"Then don't move."
Qin Ye's voice was extremely hoarse, carrying an undeniable domineering tone: "Let me hug you."
He didn't do anything more outrageous; he simply held her tightly in his arms, rested his chin on the top of her head, and took a deep breath.
It was as if he wanted to absorb all the reassuring aura emanating from her into his very being.
Yun Si's stiff body slowly softened, and she obediently nestled in his arms.
She could clearly hear the steady, powerful beating of his heart in his chest.
The voice seemed to possess some kind of magic, making her feel incredibly at ease.
Yun Si touched his pulse and secretly examined him again.
To her astonishment, she discovered that the poison in Qin Ye's body had been completely eliminated. Judging from his pulse, he did not seem like someone who had just been poisoned and almost died.
This recovery speed is simply incredible.
Yun Si guessed that it might be related to his own internal strength.
But in any case, this is a good thing.
"What's wrong?"
He asked in a low voice, his large hand gently stroking her back with a soothing touch, "Were you frightened?"
Yun Si gave a muffled "hmm," wrapped her arms around his waist, and hugged him even tighter.
Qin Ye sighed silently and kissed her hair: "It's my fault."
The two embraced quietly, enjoying the rare tranquility and warmth.
After a long while, Qin Ye suddenly spoke up: "I have no way to repay the Princess's life-saving grace. It seems that I can only repay her with my body."
Yun Si: "..."
She was speechless and gently punched his chest: "Even in this state, you still can't be serious."
"Okay, close your eyes and go to sleep."
That night, Yun Si slept in Qin Ye's arms, feeling warm and at ease. When she woke up, Qin Ye was no longer in the study.
This person.
Yun Si sat up in bed, unsure whether to be relieved that his body was in good health or angry. Couldn't this man rest a little more?
She got up and went back to Qiwu Garden, where she encountered an enraged Doctor Ji.
"Your Highness, why didn't you try to dissuade His Highness? Yesterday was so dangerous, and he actually went to the morning court today!"
Yun Si gave him a helpless look.
"Your Highness is truly the most disobedient patient I have ever treated."
Doctor Ji became increasingly angry as he spoke: "I stayed up until the wee hours of the morning last night to prepare the herbal medicine for him, and he ran off first thing this morning!"
"Alright, Dr. Ji, don't be angry."
Yun Si had no choice but to clean up the mess for him: "Actually, I examined His Highness again last night, and he probably doesn't need any more treatment."
"No?"
"Yes, he's in good health, so he recovered on his own and didn't need any further treatment."
"oh."
Doctor Ji seemed to be deep in thought.
Judging from this, he was somewhat aware of his prince's physical condition.
When Yun Si returned to Qiwu Garden, the weather turned gloomy, and soon a light rain began to fall.
One autumn rain brings a chill, and the temperature suddenly dropped, catching people off guard with its cold.
Granny Qian was efficient and meticulous in her work. Seeing that the weather had turned cold so quickly, she promptly instructed her servants to prepare various items for winter.
Hot water bottles, hand warmers, silver charcoal, and thick clothes and brocade quilts were all prepared within a day.
However, Qin Ye's poison was cured, and life returned to normal. Two days passed, and Yun Si did not see him again.
Instead, bad news arrived, but it was something we had already expected.
The Xiao Prince's Mansion is about to have a "joyful event".
