"Hmm? How should I put it? Maybe it's still a bit lacking!" Bai Chen said with a naughty smile.
Wan Ruo's face instantly flushed. She frowned slightly and gently bit her lip. What did this mean?
Bai Chen enjoyed this little girl's flustered and helpless look. It was simply irresistible!
At this moment, he suddenly leaned closer to Wan Ruo. His straight nose touched her cheek, and he whispered in her ear, "You wouldn't... just stand by and watch me die, would you?"
His voice was full of temptation, so charming that it could make one swoon. Oh my god, who could resist this!
Wan Ruo stood there stunned, her heart pounding wildly. Seeing this, Bai Chen quickly held her cheek and kissed her.
At this moment, Wan Ruo's pupils dilated. She held her breath and didn't dare to move.
Bai Chen gave a devilish smile and then pushed her down onto the bed, kissing her more passionately.
Just as his hand slid down her body, Wan Ruo felt as if she had been electrocuted. She quickly reached out to stop him.
Bai Chen had long anticipated her resistance. He grabbed her wrist and pinned her hand above her head. No matter how hard Wan Ruo struggled, it was in vain.
Wan Ruo could only use her other hand to stop him, but it was all within his expectations.
Bai Chen pinned both of her hands above her head on the bed with one hand and pressed his whole body on top of her. Looking at her panicked and embarrassed expression, and the way she tried to wriggle her body to resist, it was simply exciting.
"If you keep resisting like this, I'm afraid I really won't be able to hold back from doing something to you!" Bai Chen sized up her alluring body up and down and said teasingly in her ear.
Scared, Wan Ruo didn't dare to move anymore. Her face was flushed, and her big, charming eyes were full of affection. At this moment, she was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, destined to be at Bai Chen's mercy.
On the other side, Bing Tu felt guilty because Princess An Yao was injured while saving him. So instead of returning to the posthouse, he followed Si Hongxi back to Yiru Palace.
At this time, Princess An Yao was lying in bed with a high fever. The wound on her shoulder had become more and more serious, and the wound was infected.
The imperial physician and the maids were in the room helping to clean the wound, while Si Hongxi and Bing Tu were waiting outside.
They only saw the maids going in and out to change the water. As soon as the clean water was sent in, a basin of bloody water was sent out.
From time to time, there were also Princess An Yao's miserable cries and the doctor's soothing voices.
Si Hongxi paced anxiously back and forth outside the door. Seeing Bing Tu looking calm, Si Hongxi was very angry!
He stepped forward and grabbed his collar and said, "If anything happens to An Yao, I won't let you go!"
"Your Highness, isn't your reaction a bit too intense? Don't worry. I applied medicine to her when I brought her back. It's the golden sore medicine I always carry with me. She'll be fine!" Bing Tu said coldly.
Just as the two were facing off and on the verge of an outburst, the imperial physician came out.
Si Hongxi quickly stepped forward and asked, "How is she? Is her condition serious?"
"Your Highness, Princess An Yao's injury is indeed a bit serious. Fortunately, she received simple treatment before she was brought back, which saved her life. Now that she has taken the medicine, the fever has subsided. The wound has also been cleaned and medicated. However, she still needs to rest for a few days and change the dressing every day for the wound to heal. It's very likely that there will be a scar left!"
Hearing the imperial physician say that it was just a scar, Si Hongxi heaved a sigh of relief. Compared to life, what was a little scar on the body?
But inside the room, when Princess An Yao heard what they said, she got angry!
For a delicate princess like An Yao, how could she get married with a scar on her body?
"Princess, you can't get out of bed now. Your wound hasn't healed yet!" The personal maid stepped forward to stop and persuade her.
"Let go of me! Let go of me. It would be better to kill me than to leave a scar! You useless people! Useless!" An Yao slapped the maid on the face.
Hearing the noise, Si Hongxi and Bing Tu quickly came in to check the situation.
Si Hongxi saw the maid kneeling on the ground and An Yao going crazy. He quickly stepped forward to stop her.
"An Yao, what are you doing?"
An Yao looked up and saw Si Hongxi and Bing Tu. She didn't want them to see her in such a mess, so she shouted, "Get out! Get out! I don't want you to see me like this!"
Bing Tu saw An Yao's shoulder. The wound that had been bandaged well began to bleed again after her tossing. It made him feel a bit heart - broken.
"Brother Hongxi, how can I get married like this!" An Yao slumped on the ground and cried.
Si Hongxi hugged An Yao and gently stroked her head and said, "Silly girl, it's just a scar. It's not a big deal. What could be more important than your life?"
"You don't understand. You don't understand at all!" An Yao burst into tears.
How could Si Hongxi understand An Yao's thoughts? If there was a scar on her body, how could she get married?
Even if the person who married her didn't mind, she would mind herself. Every time she thought of the disgusted expression on the face of the person she liked when seeing the scar on her body, how could she bear it? She was a noble princess!
Bing Tu on the side seemed to see An Yao's worry. He said coldly, "Don't worry. If you don't mind, the engagement will be held as scheduled."
An Yao slowly raised her head, with tears in her eyes. She pouted and said, "I don't want your pity! Get out of here! I don't want to see you!"
Although An Yao had a crush on Bing Tu, she didn't want him to marry her out of guilt, and she didn't need his pity!
"I'll tell the emperor that I'll stay here to take care of you until you recover to show my sincerity!" Bing Tu said coldly.
Hearing Bing Tu say this, An Yao felt a bit better.
Si Hongxi helped An Yao onto the bed and coaxed her to sleep.
After the two of them came out, Si Hongxi looked at Bing Tu and asked doubtfully, "Are you serious?"
"Of course. I'm the heir of the outer vassal state. I always keep my word!" Bing Tu said lightly.
What on earth was this guy plotting?
After Bing Tu's careful care for several days, An Yao quickly recovered.
An Yao had initially rejected Bing Tu, but later she found that although Bing Tu seemed rough on the surface, he was actually very considerate. Her affection for him became stronger.
After Si Hongxi went to see Wan Ruo before, he talked to her about An Yao's injury and said that there was a risk of leaving a scar. Wan Ruo kept it in mind.
She asked Yun Jiu if there was any medicine that could remove scars.
Yun Jiu said with a smile, "Miss Ruo Ruo, you should ask Shopkeeper Bai about this! After all, it was him who saved you from your injuries!"
Wan Ruo thought it made sense. After he treated her injuries, there really weren't any scars left!
But then again, how did Yun Jiu know that it was that guy who saved her from her injuries? Just thinking about this, Wan Ruo's face instantly turned red. Embarrassed, she took the opportunity to slip away.
She found Bai Chen and explained her purpose.
Bai Chen looked at Wan Ruo seriously and said, "It took me a lot of spiritual power! If you want to help the princess, there are other ways!"
