Chapter 54 Undressing Her
Shen Jingxuan gently pushed open the door, but before her raised foot could step into the door, she heard footsteps behind her.
She turned around hurriedly and finally saw the person who had made her wait for several hours.
Shen Jingxuan's eyes curved slightly: "Xie Lingxiao, you're back?"
When Xie Lingxiao saw her smiling face, he also raised the corners of his mouth, as if all the hard work of the day was worth it.
He quickly stepped forward and supported Shen Jingxuan: "Why are you here when you are injured?"
"I was waiting for you. Seeing that you didn't come back so late, I was a little worried, so I came out to check on you."
The two walked into the room while talking, and only then did Shen Jingxuan see that Xie Lingxiao's clothes were already dirty and messy.
After hesitating for a moment, Shen Jingxuan looked at Xie Lingxiao as if she had made up her mind: "Where have you been? Why did you come back so late?"
Shen Jingxuan didn't want to ask him too much, but she couldn't help it.
"I'm going to buy you some medicine. The pharmacy is a bit far away." Xie Lingxiao lowered his head and fiddled with the things in his hands.
He took out the medicine he bought and came to Shen Jingxuan: "Lie down, I'll apply medicine for you."
Shen Jingxuan blushed when she heard what he said: "No, no need, I can do it myself."
How could Xie Lingxiao, a man, apply medicine to her?
Looking at her flushed face, Xie Lingxiao raised the corners of his lips: "What's there to be embarrassed about? We are all grown men."
Seeing her blushing face, Xie Lingxiao, who was usually taciturn, couldn't help but tease her.
After hearing his words, Shen Jingxuan felt even more ashamed. She was not a man at all; she was a real woman.
"I'll do it myself." She lowered her head and spoke in a firm tone, holding the medicine tightly in her hand.
Seeing her pretty face flushed, Xie Lingxiao stopped teasing her, turned around and pretended to have something to do and left.
When he came back, Shen Jingxuan was already lying on the couch.
She only applied the medicine in convenient places. There were some places that she couldn't reach no matter how hard she tried, so she had to give up.
Hearing the door open, Shen Jingxuan sat up and moved to the inside of the bed, leaving the space outside for Xie Lingxiao.
Seeing that she didn't dare to look at him, Xie Lingxiao said helplessly: "Have you applied the medicine?"
"Yeah." Shen Jingxuan responded lightly.
Before she could say anything else, Shen Jingxuan discovered with horror that she couldn't move.
Shen Jingxuan's almond-shaped eyes widened slightly, and she looked at Xie Lingxiao: "Xie Lingxiao? What are you doing? Quickly untie the acupuncture points for me."
Xie Lingxiao said nothing, picked up Shen Jingxuan and turned her body so that her back was facing away, but he became more and more nervous.
His hands were shaking, and he kept clenching, unclenching, and clenching again...
After doing it several times, Xie Lingxiao forced himself to not be so nervous.
His face flushed slightly, and he put his arms around Shen Jingxuan's waist and walked to the front to unbutton her clothes.
The clothes gradually fell off, Xie Lingxiao opened his dark eyes slightly, and what he saw were the crisscrossing wounds.
Xie Lingxiao looked at the wound, and his heart seemed to be severely twisted. The sudden pain made him forget to react for a moment.
When he came back to his senses, Xie Lingxiao couldn't help but redden his eyes when he saw the fair and delicate skin covered with criss-crossing wounds again.
He must find out who it is, who is so cruel as to send so many people to besiege a weak woman like her.
Xie Lingxiao gently applied the medicine to Shen Jingxuan, helped her tidy up her clothes, and then untied the acupuncture points.
But Shen Jingxuan just sat there indifferent.
She really didn't know how to face Xie Lingxiao, nor did she know how to break this strange silence.
Seeing that she didn't move, Xie Lingxiao thought she was angry with him so he undressed her and looked at her body.
But if so many wounds are not treated with medicine in time, you will suffer more pain.
He knew that the law was harsh on women, and if she was seen naked like this, it would be like she was not innocent.
If the future husband's family finds out, divorce is a minor matter, and worse still, the wife may be drowned in a pond.
But Xie Lingxiao really couldn't bear to see her endure the pain of the wound at such a young age.
An idea suddenly flashed through his mind: why not wait until he returns to the capital and marry her.
Xie Lingxiao's eyes suddenly widened. He was shocked by his own thoughts and didn't understand why he would want to get married.
He had never thought that he would get married and have children, and he didn't know what the future would be like.
The only reason that kept him alive was to find out the cause of his mother's death.
When thinking of women, Xie Lingxiao was always filled with disgust, and nothing else could be thought of.
But with Shen Jingxuan, not only could he take care of her personally, he could even think of marrying her without feeling the slightest bit of dissatisfaction.
Xie Lingxiao rubbed his chest gently. Thinking of being able to marry Shen Jingxuan, instead of feeling disgusted, his heart beat faster.
He suppressed his pounding heart and looked up at her clothes, which were covered with holes of varying sizes.
Xie Lingxiao took the package and threw the clothes on Shen Jingxuan's head: "Hao Lin, change your clothes."
The vision suddenly turned dark, Shen Jingxuan tore off her clothes and turned to look at Xie Lingxiao.
She saw a smile on his face, which made her feel extremely at ease against his fair skin.
Shen Jingxuan looked at Xie Lingxiao without blinking, as if she was blinded by her smile.
Her almond-shaped eyes instantly turned red and watery. Shen Jingxuan quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at him anymore.
This strange feeling made Shen Jingxuan at a loss. She lowered her head for a long time and couldn't come back to her senses.
The next day the sun was shining and the breeze was gentle.
Shen Jinghuan took her maid for a walk in the yard, occasionally stopping to look at the newly planted flowers and plants in the yard.
Ah Qiao supported Shen Jinghuan and moved lightly: "Miss, you look really good today."
"It's nothing. You should go out more often. It's good for your health and for our little grandson."
"How do you know it will be the little grandson of the emperor? It could also be a girl." Shen Jinghuan lifted the hem of her clothes and continued walking forward.
Ah Qiao heard this and said with certainty, "It must be the little emperor's grandson. Miss, do you like girls?"
Shen Jing laughed and said, "Your young lady likes both boys and girls. They all crawled out of my belly, so how could I not like them?"
In fact, he wanted a boy more. If it was a boy, he would be the eldest grandson of the emperor and his status in the future would be much higher than that of a girl.
But if it is a girl, she is also her child and she will teach her carefully.
Thinking of the child, Shen Jinghuan's brows gradually softened. She must give birth to the child safely.
No matter what the situation is now, we have to wait until the baby is born successfully before we can make a decision about the future.
There were footsteps outside the courtyard. Shen Jinghuan turned her head and saw Guizhi, surrounded by maids, slowly coming to her side.
Guizhi looked aggrieved: "Miss, I came to see you, please forgive me."
Shen Jinghuan said nothing, but Aqiao was unwilling: "Guizhi, you are shameless. You actually climbed into the prince's bed and stole the young lady's husband."
"I didn't expect that a maid like you would be so arrogant and have the nerve to appear in front of the young lady."
When Guizhi heard Aqiao's words, tears instantly welled up in her eyes. She looked even more pitiful as she cried silently.
The maid Yuexi said angrily: "How can you talk like that? This is Concubine Zhi, how can you, a maid, slander her casually?"
"You are committing treason. Wait until the prince returns home and see how he will deal with you."
Ah Qiao stepped forward to argue, but Shen Jinghuan held her hand and said, "Guizhi, you are a concubine now, don't argue with a maid."
"She just wanted to vent her anger for me, don't take it to heart."
Shen Jinghuan spoke up for Aqiao, fearing that if Xie Zihan knew about this, Aqiao would definitely suffer physical pain.
Guizhi looked at the deep affection between master and servant and couldn't help but think of her sister.
It turns out that Shen Jinghuan also knows how to speak for the maids.
But her sister died at the hands of Shen Jinghuan.
If she had been more considerate of the servants like she is now, her sister would not have died.
There was a slight noise behind her, and Yuexi gently shook Guizhi's sleeve.
