He fed her the soup one mouthful at a time, his movements careful and gentle. He was completely different from the wild and violent man he was.
But Shen Ning knew that even jackals, tigers and leopards would occasionally show their tender side, but that didn't mean they wouldn't eat people.
She ate and drank enough, then closed her eyes and rested her mind.
Even though her eyes were closed, she could still feel his eyes falling on her face and never leaving her.
"Your Highness, why are you staring at me? If you are doing it because I saved you, then you don't have to. I don't like to owe others. You saved me, so I will save you. Let's The two don’t owe each other.”
She opened her eyes and met his gaze.
"You saved me because you were reluctant to let me die, and because you had begun to like me." He suddenly spoke in a determined tone.
"..." Shen Ning almost couldn't help but squirt. She stared at him and couldn't figure out where this man's mysterious confidence came from.
"Your Highness, I don't want to..."
Before she could finish her words, he covered her mouth and pressed his big palm tightly on her lips, making her speechless.
He smiled loudly and confidently: "I know you won't admit it. The women in your Western Chu country are all duplicitous. They say they don't want it, but they want it in their hearts. They are nothing like us in the Eastern Qin Dynasty. If you like a girl from my country, you will like her, and if you love me, you will love me. After you marry me, I will not allow you to be so duplicitous, do you understand?"
marry you
When did I agree to marry you
She opened her eyes wide and glared at him.
"Are you so happy when you heard me say that I wanted to marry you? Look at your eyes so wide, are you very happy? I promise you, I am willing to marry you as my only woman and my prince Concubine, from now on, you can enjoy the honor and favor with me and be looked up to by everyone, and your current nominal husband, Chu Shaoyang, will also kneel at your feet and look up to you. "
He smiled brightly and with high spirits.
Shen Ning was dumbfounded when she heard this.
He released his hand covering hers, took her hand, stroked the thick gauze on her wrist, and looked at her without blinking, his eyes were surprisingly gentle.
He said with a serious expression: "Since I was poisoned, I have been suffering from cold poison almost every day. If I can't soak in the sulfur water in time, I need to drink hot blood to suppress the poison. My servants always prepare various animals. Blood, including chicken blood, duck blood, goat blood, I don’t know how many animals I have drank over the years, but no one has ever fed me with their own blood like you. You were the only one, and I felt like it at that time. I just thought, if I don’t die this time, I will definitely marry this woman, and I will do what I say!”
It turned out to be because of this!
If she had known this, she would not have cut blood to save him. She should have found the blood of any animal and fed it to him, such as a rabbit or a pheasant. If he wanted to repay his kindness, let him marry a rabbit and a pheasant. !
"Your Highness, you told me earlier, oh, why didn't I think of catching rabbits and pheasants? If I knew their blood was also effective, I wouldn't have cut my own blood. Cutting my wrists hurts so much. I regret it now. If you die, if you turn back time, I will definitely feed you rabbit blood, and I will never use my own blood. Hey, why didn’t I think of that at the time? I was so stupid!”
