How to Survive As a Villain

Chapter 14
Xiao Yuan rushed to Yan Heqing and wrapped his body tightly with his robe: “Are you all right? Are you okay?”

Yan Heqing struggled with his last strength, looked up at Xiao Yuan, and then fell face right to the ground.

Xiao Yuan throwed him into his back and nearly fell to the snow. He stabilized his body and hugged Yan Heqing, whom was already frozen: “Don’t sleep! Brother, wake up and hold on for a while, your harem of beauties are waiting for you”.

Yan Heqing wouldn’t wake up even after being called at a few times, Xiao Yuan was also a little anxious. In a panicked strike he took off his coat, wrapped Yan Heqing tightly, and ran towards Taiyi* Palace. (T/N: Imperial physician/doctor)

The old imperial physician that stayed guarding the night in the Taiyi palace, who in over half a year had never encountered a major event, today he was almost scared to death by Xiao Yuan. He whispered: “Your Majesty!!! What’re you doing??”

Why are you alone!! Why are you wearing so little on such a cold day! Who’s the one you’re carrying?! How can you carry someone with your own body!!

The imperial physician thought about too many questions, he doesn’t know how to ask them!!

Xiao Yuan yelled in his heart: Go ask your wife*!! You should just save people!! (T/N: in the raws this appears like a P, which is an internet slang that stands for: Photoshop or Female lesbian, the last one also stands for pretty /婆 wife, I just used the one that made the more sense)

“Inn-ineer room”. The imperial physician was so frightened that he could barely speak.

Xiao Yuan carried Yan Heqing inside the inner room, he picked up his clothes which have been wet by the snow, and put him inside the quilt of the bed, then, he rubbed his hands to get them warmer and covered Yan Heqing’s chest.

The imperial physician quickly boiled a bucket of water putting Yan Heqing inside. When they saw that Yan Heqing’s breathing and body temperature was gradually returning to normal, Xiao Yuan could finally breathe relived.

The imperial physician asked anxiously: “Your Majesty, how are you feeling?”

Xiao Yuan felt a cold sweat and panted slightly: “Me? What’s the matter?”

The imperial physician: “But your Majesty, your face is flushed and you’re breathless. How about you let me exam-…”

Xiao Yuan didn’t heard what the imperial physician was saying to him, he suddenly fainted into darkness.

When he woke up again, he was in his bedroom.

There were a lot of people kneeling down, including the imperial physician, the maid servants and slaves. When they saw that Xiao Yuan was awake, they all shouted: “His Majesty is awake! He woke up!”

Xiao Yuan’s head was buzzing, there was too much noise, so he simply covered himself with the quilt.

Noticing this, Hong Xiu started to dismiss the crowd.

“Wait, is the imperial physician still here?” Xiao Yuan took a slack and asked lifting the quilt in a single move.

“Yes, yes I am.” The imperial physician was a ‘yes-man’.

“How is Yan Heqing?” Xiao Yuan asked.

“Answering to his Majesty, he’s no longer in danger”. The imperial physician replied.

He’s worthy of being the male lead. He wrapped himself with three layers of clothes inside and three layers outside, but still he managed to get a fever. Yan Heqing was frozen for such a long time, but nothing happened to him.

Xiao Yuan said: “Take good care of him.”

After the imperial physician finished his duty, he withdrew from the dormitory.

Hong Xiu covered her mouth and chuckled: “I have never seen his Majesty caring so much about someone”.

If I don’t care about him, he will eviscerate me alive! Unexpectedly, what I did changed completely the original plot. What should I do next?

Xiao Yuan laughed bitterly and propped up from the bed with one hand, trying to sit up.

Hong Xiu quickly stepped forward and gently supported Xiao Yuan: “Does his Majesty wants to drink some water?”

Seeing that Xiao Yuan nodded, Hong Xiu quickly brought the clear water to feed Xiao Yuan. At the same time, Yang Liuan came to report: “Your Majesty, Princess Yongning is here.”

Xiao Yuan choked wIth a mouthful of saliva and gulped down in the air: “Who? Who’re you talking about? Yong- Princess Yongning?”

Yang Liuan hadn’t answered yet when a voice that sounded like jade beads falling came from the door of the bedroom: “My brother, the Emperor”.

Xiao Yuan looked up.

In the original book, a poem was quoted to describe Princess Yongning, that was the poem about a beautiful woman in the North, who looks after the city’s people and then the country.

And now, Xiao Yuan’s head is full of that sentence: independent from the rest of the world.

So this is the beautiful face of the legendary female lead?!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeh! The danger is huge!!!
