The prince longs for me every night after mastering thought-reading Chapter 61 - 61 59 Too Shy

Chapter 61: Chapter 59 Too Shy Chapter 61: Chapter 59 Too Shy Xiao Jinyan confird repeatedly before allowing the Military Doctor to leave.

Shen Chuwei was so hungry by now that she didn’t care whether there was at or not, deciding to satiate her hunger before anything else.

The fastest eater under normal circumstances, since her injury, she ate slower than a pampered young miss.

Xiao Jinyan watched Shen Chuwei quietly, thinking about what had happened yesterday, he asked, “Aren’t you afraid of death?”

Shen Chuwei swallowed the porridge in her mouth, “Of course, I’m afraid.”

Xiao Jinyan asked again, “If you are afraid, why did you take an arrow for ?”

Shen Chuwei answered, “Your Highness, it was an ergency, and I didn’t think too much at the ti, as long as Your Highness was fine.”

At that mont, all she could think of was that if Xiao Jinyan had t his end, she would not even have the chance to freeload anymore.

Regrettably, all her good luck seed to be used up that day, which was why her injury was so severe.

What Shen Chuwei didn’t know was that the arrow was poisoned, and had it not been for Xiao Jinyan feeding her so water, which just happened to be the Spiritual Spring Water she had previously taken from the Spiritual Spring, she might have died from the poison long ago.

Shen Chuwei had heard from Qin Xiao that a Daoist calculated a fortune for Xiao Jinyan, predicting great danger during the autumn hunt, so she had specially taken the Spiritual Spring Water to be prepared.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinyan was stunned for a long ti.

Among all the won around him, none had ever considered his well-being like Shen Chuwei did.

Those won spoke more sweetly than they sang, but at the mont of danger, not one of them could do what Shen Chuwei had done.

“Don’t do that again next ti; I’m not so weak as to need a woman to take an arrow for .”

Shen Chuwei nodded, “This concubine will listen to Your Highness, Your Highness is the most powerful.” In the end, she didn’t forget to add a flattering remark.

Xiao Jinyan said, “Don’t be glib, eat your al.”

“What this concubine said is the truth.” Shen Chuwei’s eyes curved with her smile as she continued to drink her porridge and eat the side dishes.

Although her stomach was full, her mouth had beco tasteless from the bland food.

After the bowls and chopsticks were put away, Xiao Jinyan laid Shen Chuwei flat on the bed, a movent that beca skillfully effortless after being repeated several tis.

He turned to get the dicine box and placed it on the nightstand.

Shen Chuwei looked at him in confusion, “Your Highness, what are you doing?”

“Lie still, I’ll change the dressing for you,” Xiao Jinyan said as he opened the dicine box and took out the dicine and gauze.

Shen Chuwei looked down at her wound, located above her chest — wouldn’t that require taking off her clothes, showing her shoulders and more?

When she looked up, she saw Xiao Jinyan sitting by the bed with the dicine and gauze in hand.

At this mont, she really, really missed Chun Xi.

Taking off her clothes like this was just too embarrassing.

As Xiao Jinyan lifted the quilt, he glanced at Shen Chuwei, and his slender fingers reached her waist, deftly untying the fastening with a light pull.

Shen Chuwei shyly watched Xiao Jinyan, thinking to herself that this didn’t seem like just changing a dressing; it felt more like unwrapping a present.

After untying the fastening, Xiao Jinyan’s hands moved upward, peeling back the lapel to reveal fair skin.

He looked up at Shen Chuwei; her face was flushed peach, and her clear, lovely eyes were fixed on his hands.

When he unfolded the gauze, the wound beneath was revealed.

Shen Chuwei couldn’t help but speak up, “Your Highness, please be gentle.”

“Mhm.” Xiao Jinyan’s movents were adept as he sprinkled dicine on the wound and then rewrapped it with fresh gauze.

During the process, the pads of his fingers inevitably touched her soft, fair skin, silky smooth like satin, delicate like milk.

Xiao Jinyan composed himself and helped her get dressed again, covering her with the blanket before finally looking at Shen Chuwei, “Alright, sleep now.”

Shen Chuwei’s eyes curved into a smile, “Your Highness, goodnight.”

A flicker of puzzlent crossed Xiao Jinyan’s eyes, “Goodnight?”

Shen Chuwei explained, “Your Highness, ‘goodnight’ ans that I like you.”

Xiao Jinyan paused, recalling that this was the third ti Shen Chuwei had confessed to him.

Why couldn’t the girl retain a bit of modesty?

She ntioned ‘like’ so casually, as if she was afraid he wouldn’t know it otherwise.

“I understand, there’s no need to ntion it again.”

Chun Xi uttered an “oh.”

Feeling sleepy herself, she closed her eyes and went to sleep.

Xiao Jinyan sat by the bed, watching her for a long while before standing up and leaving.

The next day, a piggish scream of agony emanated from the tent of Prince Xiao Yunxuan.

“It hurts, it hurts so much!”

Seeing that the Prince hadn’t gotten up, a subordinate entered, intending to wake his master; but as soon as he touched the Prince, the Prince started shouting, startling the subordinate into stillness.

“Prince, what happened to your face?”

When Xiao Yunxuan woke up, his entire body was in pain, untouchable and painful even to speak.

He barked angrily, “What do you an by that?”

The subordinate turned and brought a mirror to the Prince, “Please look for yourself, Your Highness.”

Xiao Yunxuan took the mirror and saw that one side of his face was swollen terribly high and one of his eyes had turned a large patch of purple, making him look like a national treasure.

“What is going on?” He had just finished shouting when the pain made him grimace.

The subordinate cautiously replied, “I’m not sure what happened, Your Highness.”

Xiao Yunxuan threw the mirror aside and clenched his teeth as he got up from the bed but imdiately fell off the bed.

He was in imnse pain from the fall.

The subordinate hurried over to help the Prince stand.

This ti, Xiao Yunxuan didn’t dare to shout loudly, “Quickly, call the Military Doctor.”

“At once.” The subordinate ran out quickly.

Soon, the Military Doctor arrived, carrying a dicine box.

After examining him, “Your Highness, it appears you’ve been beaten with fists and kicks.”

Xiao Yunxuan angrily retorted, “Nonsense, I was sleeping soundly all night.

Who would dare beat with fists and kicks?”

Looking at the wounds, it was obvious to the Military Doctor that he had been beaten, especially the face and the eye that had clearly been hit by fists, but he didn’t dare say so.

After applying so ointnt, the Military Doctor left with his dicine box.

Xiao Yunxuan stared at the injuries on his body, dumbfounded, “This is really beyond belief.”

His subordinate ventured a guess, “Your Highness, could you have co into contact with sothing unclean?”

Xiao Yunxuan looked at his subordinate with confusion, “Unclean things?”

“Yes, Your Highness.

You were sleeping in your tent peacefully last night, so how could you have been beaten by soone?

Only sothing unclean could have managed this,” the subordinate said.

“You make sense.” Xiao Yunxuan thought for a mont and then said, “Hurry and find a Daoist.”

“As you command.” The subordinate ran out to carry out the order.

Xiao Yunxuan touched his face again and instantly winced, “It’s so painful!”

Xiao Yunxuan didn’t leave his tent today, fearing that the other Princes would see him in this state and mock him.

Xiao Jinyan knew well Xiao Yunxuan’s concern, so he and the other brothers went early to Xiao Yunxuan’s tent.

They entered directly without waiting for the Guard to announce them.

They happened to see Xiao Yunxuan holding a mirror, staring at his face swollen like a pig’s head.

A few Princes couldn’t help but let out a laugh.

Xiao Che stepped forward a few steps, looked at Xiao Yunxuan’s pig-like face, and stifled a laugh as he asked, “Big brother, what happened to you?

Why is your face so swollen?”

Prince Xiao Qing speculated, “Could it have been the bite of so poisonous insects?”

“It doesn’t look like a poisonous insect bite; look at big brother’s eye, all purple and bruised.

It’s more like sobody has given him a good beating,” Xiao Jinyu said, not able to hold back a laugh.
