Chun Zhi nodded repeatedly but still felt uneasy, leaned closer to Wei Zhong, and whispered, "Your Majesty and the Ninth Prince of Yan Kingdom are sharing a room..."
Wei Zhong glanced around and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Why worry about so much at a ti when we are facing external enemies? As long as we, as servants, keep our mouths shut tightly!"
Chun Zhi thought Wei Zhong made sense and quickly went to the small kitchen to boil water.
Wei Zhong looked at the servants in the courtyard and straightforwardly replaced them with the Bai family guards.
The Bai family guards are all insiders, tight-lipped.
As soon as Wei Zhong left, Bai Qingyan said, "Doctor Hong prepared a dicine box for ; there’s hemostatic dicine inside. I’ll apply it for you first."
Saying this, Bai Qingyan was about to go behind the screen to get the dicine box for Xiao Rongyan. She had just taken a couple of steps when Xiao Rongyan stood up, swiftly grabbed Bai Qingyan’s arm in two steps, and pressed her against the pillar by the wall.
The mask already removed, Xiao Rongyan’s facial features were tense, his hands tightly gripping Bai Qingyan’s shoulders, his hands slightly trembling.
"Not lighting the smoke signal for help because you can’t bear to lose Yecheng Pass, but aren’t you afraid sothing might happen to you?!" Xiao Rongyan’s face was pale, breath slightly rapid, his overall expression rather grim, voice deep and severe, cold and authoritative. "Bai Qingyan... do you really not regard your own life as life!"
He couldn’t imagine, if he hadn’t arrived in ti today, what the situation would be after the city was breached.
Bai Qingyan’s shoulder ached from Xiao Rongyan’s grip, she raised her hand to gently clasp Xiao Rongyan’s sturdy wrist, only then did she realize Xiao Rongyan’s body temperature was alarmingly high.
"Why are you so hot?" Bai Qingyan raised her hand to cover Xiao Rongyan’s forehead, her brow tightly furrowed, "You’ve got a fever. Did you co here injured? Where are you hurt?"
If it was a fresh wound, a person wouldn’t be this hot!
Xiao Rongyan looked at Bai Qingyan, whose eyes were full of worry, his pupils trembled as he asked, "You’re worried about my injury, what about yourself?"
Bai Qingyan looked into Xiao Rongyan’s trembling pupils, their eyes t, there was a surge of warmth in her eyes, her heart inexplicably felt intensely sore and swollen: "Where are you hurt? Let see..."
Xiao Rongyan, looking at Bai Qingyan’s expression, finally softened, gritted his teeth, his Adam’s apple moved, he lowered his gaze to her lips, leaned down, and kissed her, punishingly biting her lips hard.
Bai Qingyan’s heart felt both sour and swollen when Xiao Rongyan’s scorching thin lips pressed against her own, biting her lips, forcefully prying her teeth apart, tears unconsciously falling from the corners of her eyes.
Her mouth was full of a salty tallic taste, her lips hurt too, but she didn’t dare to push Xiao Rongyan away... afraid of touching his wounds. Rembering how Xiao Rongyan, disregarding life and death, charged into the Xiliang camp first, slaying Xiliang enemies with his sword, covered in blood, she tightly grasped the armor on Xiao Rongyan’s body.
Their bodies were tightly pressed together, Xiao Rongyan, mindful of Bai Qingyan’s belly, didn’t press her hard against the pillar after all.
Tasting Bai Qingyan’s tears, Xiao Rongyan released Bai Qingyan, his deep gaze fixedly on her: "Not caring about your own life or death, not caring about our child, Kid... is there only the Bai family, only national unity in your heart?"
Xiao Rongyan’s voice was sowhat choked. Even now, seeing Bai Qingyan standing safely in front of him, he was still filled with lingering fear.
Bai Qingyan wanted to explain, but seeing Xiao Rongyan’s tired, bloodshot... eyes full of disappointnt, it was as if her throat was being gripped.
"In tis of significant issues, don’t care about personal matters, those words... are what I once said! We reached a consensus! But Kid, when you actually faced a crisis, did you... did you think of even a little bit? Hmm?" Xiao Rongyan ca close to Bai Qingyan, their weary foreheads pressed together, "Did you think at all, if sothing happened to you, if sothing happened to the child, what... would I do? Hmm?"
Bai Qingyan’s lips quivered, unable to answer for a long ti.
"I’m not as good as you..." Xiao Rongyan’s voice weary, seed to carry a low laugh, "Kid, I’m really not as good as you are!"
In tis of significant issues, don’t care about personal matters. If he could really do that, he wouldn’t have disregarded the obstruction... and led the troops to Jiangzi City.
Willing to lay down his life for the other, but not for the country. This was the unspoken understanding they both had. This ti, knowing clearly what giving up Yunjing ant, yet between Yan Kingdom and Bai Qingyan’s safety, he chose Bai Qingyan.
He knew, Bai Qingyan would never let the news reach the front lines, would never allow Zhou to lose Yecheng Pass.
So he ca, because he didn’t know what he would be like without Bai Qingyan, he couldn’t imagine, he only knew he couldn’t afford to lose her.
"I’m truly afraid, afraid that we won’t make it to where we can settle in Baiwo City, run a small business... live our own lives."
Pushed to the limit, Xiao Rongyan murmured softly, his vision blurring, unable to hold on, collapsing softly before Bai Qingyan.
"A Yan..." Bai Qingyan exclaid, "Wei Zhong! Wei Zhong!"
Wei Zhong rushed in upon hearing the sound, saw Bai Qingyan with a big belly kneeling on the ground, tightly holding onto Xiao Rongyan, who hadn’t removed his blood-stained armor, took three quick steps forward, and helped Bai Qingyan support Xiao Rongyan to the bed.
"Has the military doctor arrived?" Bai Qingyan, pale-faced, asked.
Wei Zhong looked up and saw the injury on Bai Qingyan’s lips, stunned for a mont, hurriedly said, "Not yet, I’ll send soone to hurry them up!"
"Hurry up!"
Bai Qingyan sat by the bed, slowly unbuckling Xiao Rongyan’s armor, seeing that the clothes around his waist were soaked through with pus and blood.
Bai Qingyan’s pupils trembled, gently lifting the clothes on his waist and abdon, the fine cotton cloth wound around his waist and abdon had already bunched together, entwined like a rope around his narrow waist with no excess, the wounds that had healed were torn open again beneath the armor, lack of tily dressing led to festering...
Bai Qingyan looked at Xiao Rongyan, whose body was covered in cold sweat, facial features tight, tears falling like a broken string.
He rescued her with such a body!
Bai Qingyan tightly held Xiao Rongyan’s hand, stood up and shouted loudly to the outside, "Wei Zhong! Has the military doctor arrived?"
"Your Majesty, soone has already been sent to hurry them!" Wei Zhong was also extrely anxious.
Soon, seeing the military doctor enter the courtyard, Wei Zhong quickly entered the room, picked up Xiao Rongyan’s mask, hurried around the screen, and handed the mask to Bai Qingyan, "Your Majesty has arrived!"
Bai Qingyan took the mask, gently placed it over Xiao Rongyan’s face, put Xiao Rongyan’s hand on the bed, just about to get up, but her hand was tightly grasped by Xiao Rongyan.
"Kid..."
Hearing Xiao Rongyan’s murmur, Bai Qingyan sat down by the bed and responded, "I am here! The child and I are perfectly fine, let the military doctor check your wound!"
Xiao Rongyan seed already unable to hear Bai Qingyan’s words, gripping her hand with increasing force, painfully, until Bai Qingyan’s fingertips turned white.
