Chapter 49
He Yunxiao never expected that just holding hands would lead to a little too much reaction from his future wife.
“You! What are you doing! Quickly let go of me!”
Princess Nanzhu’s voice was exceptionally soft and delicate, and even though it was an angry scolding, it sounded very soft and cute to He Yunxiao’s ears.
She tried to pull her little hand free from He Yunxiao’s big hand, but compared to her strength, she was no match for He Yunxiao at all. After a few attempts, which were completely useless, she then swung her pink fist and hammered on He Yunxiao one after another.
“Men and women cannot be intimate! I am the Princess of Qi, and I have a husband!”
Husband?
After hearing the word “husband”, He Yunxiao was excited.
“Who is your husband? How come I’ve never heard that Princess Nanzhu has a husband?”
“My husband is He Yunxiao! The son of General marquis He of the Great Qi. Let go of me, or my husband will not let you go!”
He Yunxiao smiled very happily.
This girl was quite well-informed. The Empress Dowager had just finished speaking this afternoon, and you already know about it now?
We haven’t even gotten engaged yet, but we’re just talking about it, and you’re already pretending to be a tiger?
If I don’t cure this kind of tiger skin, what else can I do? What if we get married and bring out the Empress Dowager and Meng Qingqian at every turn? How can we still live our lives?
Fine, I’ll lend you the “big tiger skin” of “He Yunxiao’s wife” today, but you know what?
The husband, you’re speaking highly of, He Yunxiao, is none other than me.
I wanted to take a chance to confess to Nanzhu, but after seeing how cute she was, He Yunxiao decided not to say anything. I’m just pulling hands today for sure, dare He Yunxiao come and beat me up?
“Don’t move, we’re not holding hands, we’re healing. Healing wounds understand?”
Of course, Nanzhu didn’t believe it at all. She herself was an expert in the art of healing. How could there be a man and a woman holding hands to heal their wounds?
“You’re lying, what kind of healing is this?”
He Yunxiao patiently explained, “The strange poison you have is haemophilia, do you know about haemophilia? Don’t know?”
Seeing that Nanzhu was puzzled, He Yunxiao was also in a dilemma.
But in order to hold his wife’s hand in a dignified manner, this little difficulty was certainly, necessarily, surely, not too difficult for him.
“There is something in our blood, something called ‘blood clotting factor’. This stuff helps wounds heal. What you have now is that this ‘clotting factor’ is missing from your blood. So, once you are injured it is very difficult to heal.
And I don’t call this holding hands. I call it healing. Because your blood lacks the ‘clotting factor’, so I use my internal force to force my blood into your body. In this way, you will have the ‘clotting factor’ and the wound will heal.”
He Yunxiao was not sure if he had explained it clearly, he scratched his head and said, “There are ‘bloodletting’ and ‘blood exchange’ therapies in ancient medicine, they probably mean something similar to this. Do you understand?”
Meng Qingrou, the eldest princess of Nanzhu, nodded her head with a seeming understanding.
Still a little bothered by the hand pulling, she looked at her left hand, which was interlocked with He Yunxiao’s right hand with ten fingers and said, “We’re healing, right?”
He Yunxiao nodded in a hurry.
“Right, right. It’s just healing. You still have men, what is this? Rules like men and women not being intimate can’t be applied to a doctor and a patient.”
The more she paid attention to holding hands, the more Meng Qingrou could feel the sensation brought by the big hand holding the small one.
It was big, a little rough, firm, and warm.
Turning her face away from He Yunxiao, Meng Qingrou said, “How long will it take to heal?”
He Yunxiao made a rough estimate and said, “About half an hour.”
Half an hour, given his own healing speed, was enough for the wound to scab over.
After these words were said, there was no sound.
The two sat hand in hand like this, and for a while, no one spoke.
He Yunxiao enjoyed the moment immensely, and when faced with such a lovely wife, the strange thoughts in his heart were much less, and he was happy just holding hands and looking at the moon.
In the afternoon, he was still a little worried about this fiancée wife who had not yet agreed, but now, whoever dares to steal Nanzhu from him, he will beat him to the punch.
In the night, He Yunxiao heard a rustling sound coming from Nanzhu’s side, and not long after, he saw her hand over a bracelet.
The bracelet was quite ordinary, and no matter how you looked at it, it was just a simple silver bracelet.
“It’s for you.” She said.
He Yunxiao looked at the deserted Linxuan Palace. At the eldest princess, who was dressed like a palace maid, and at the herbal garden that required her personal labor.
Finally, He Yunxiao saw what Nanzhu was holding in her hand, the silver bracelet given to him.
He held Nanzhu’s hand and gripped it a little tighter.
A good girl like Nanzhu, it has to be mine!
If this were the silver given to him by Sister Jiang, He Yunxiao would have accepted it instantly, but this was given to him by Nanzhu, and he hesitated for a moment before accepting it.
He Yunxiao noticed that Nanzhu’s eyes, looking at this bracelet, were full of fondness.
“Why did you give me this?”
Meng Qingrou bowed her head and said, “Nanzhu has done wrong ……”
He Yunxiao even doubted his own ears.
“What did you say?” He pursued.
Summoning up the courage, Meng Qingrou’s voice got a little louder.
“Nanzhu did it wrong. It was Nanzhu who did wrong. I’m sorry. When Young Master cut his palm to heal Nanzhu’s wounds, Nanzhu did not cooperate with Young Master and was still being unreasonable and hitting you. It is Nanzhu’s fault. This bracelet is to pay for your treatment. If it’s not enough for you, then Nanzhu still has some in her palace, so when the healing is over, Nanzhu will go and fetch it for you.”
Hearing Nanzhu say this, He Yunxiao really felt in his heart that he was too lucky. It was too much to thank the Empress Dowager.
Such a good girl deserves her good looks.
As her left hand was being held by herself, He Yunxiao then said, “Extend your right hand.”
Meng Qingrou then stretched out her right hand in disbelief.
He Yunxiao put this silver bracelet on her right wrist.
Meng Qingrou was puzzled and said, “Don’t you want it?”
He Yunxiao smiled a handsome smile and said to his Nanzhu with affection, “Of course I want it, only that a beautiful bracelet should naturally be worn on a beautiful girl. Only then does it have a purpose. Keep the bracelet with you for now, don’t lose it for me.”
[Meng Qingruo’s favorability level changed from 30 to 50]
Although her favourability had increased, what came out of Meng Qing Rou’s mouth were words of rejection, “Young Master should not come to Linxuan Palace again in the future.”
He Yunxiao was greatly puzzled.
“Why?” He asked.
“Nanzhu has already been promised to He Yunxiao by her sister. If Young Master comes here to Nanzhu often, I am afraid that my Husband will misunderstand.”
At this moment, He Yunxiao’s heart: what is my future self? How dare you steal a wife from my present self?
He Yunxiao deliberately did not tell Nanzhu that he was her husband.
He wanted his precious Nanzhu to really like him, to like him without any other factors, not to like him because she was “promised” to him.
“If I don’t come, you won’t be able to heal yourself lke this, you must heal yourself regularly.”
“Then ……” Meng Qingrou said hesitantly, “Then no more coming except to healing the wounds.”
He Yunxiao smiled triumphantly, “Of course so. A decent gentleman like me, how can I take away the loved ones of others?”
Meng Qingrou nodded, and after hearing He Yunxiao give her such a guarantee, she believed in him.
He Yunxiao wanted to take the opportunity to talk to his wife about how to solve the Soul Devouring Pill, but just as the words reached his lips, he heard a cute little baby’s stomach growling.
It had just gone dark and it was now time for dinner.
Meng Qing Rou’s face instantly reddened, and then she lowered her head in embarrassment.
The two of them were still holding hands together, and even if they were doing nothing, they could not be seen by others. Even if that person is not a strange male, but fiancé He Yunxiao, it is still something that cannot be seen by others.
Qi’s heavy customs. If the eldest princess lost her dignity and decorum and was held in the hands of a man like a little maid, it would only give rise to many gossips and hurt Nanzhu’s reputation for nothing.
He Yunxiao would not let such a thing happen, and so he could not take her to a place where she could be seen to find food.
He remembered the lake when he was looking for Linxuan Palace, so he pulled Meng Qingrou up and said to her, “Come with me, I’ll treat you to a barbecue.”
