"My lord, have mercy!" Ye Langzhong whimpered and almost fainted from fright.
Several secret guards came forward and dragged Ye Langzhong out.
"Chu Shaoyang! How on earth are you going to stop killing him?" Shen Ning couldn't bear it anymore. No matter what, Ye Langzhong was also hurt by her, and she couldn't let innocent people die tragically because of her.
In her excitement, the iron chain made a clanking sound.
"Don't kill him? Should you leave him to report to Chu Shaobai and let him rescue you?" He squinted at her and sneered slightly.
"You..." She bit her lip hard: "Say a condition, as long as you can spare his life."
"Conditions? What qualifications do you have to negotiate terms with me?" Chu Shaoyang sneered and shook his head: "Ning'er, he is just a stranger you met by chance. His life and death don't need you to care about him. I really don't. I know what is going on in your little head, do you know? He took the initiative to tell me the secret, and he also took the initiative to give this gold hairpin to me. He betrayed you early on, and he wanted to ask for it. The king's favor! He sold you, but you begged me and negotiated terms for him!"
Shen Ning looked at him steadily, knowing that he had not lied to her.
When she saw Ye Langzhong's expression just now, she guessed that because Ye Langzhong never dared to look up at her, he felt guilty!
But even if he betrayed her, she couldn't bear to see him cut into pieces by Chu Shaoyang.
However, she bit her lip and did not speak.
She knew that the more she pleaded for Ye Langzhong, the less likely Chu Shaoyang would be to soften his heart.
"Okay, I can spare his life, but you have to agree to one condition." He suddenly changed his words.
"What conditions?" She lowered her eyelashes and waited for him to speak.
"I am injured, and I want you to help me apply the medicine with your own hands. Will you agree to this condition?"
Shen Ning raised her eyelashes, is it that simple
Chu Shaoyang untied the chains on her hands, handed a bottle of ointment into her hands, then raised his neck and waited quietly.
She picked some ointment with her fingers and began to apply it to him, using a very gentle technique. The cool ointment was applied to his injured area, bringing a pleasant coolness and making him no longer feel pain.
He lowered his eyelids and looked at her. Her expression was very attentive and serious. Her fingers were soft and soft, and it was indescribably comfortable. He really wished that if his injury was more serious, she could apply medicine to him longer. Some.
"Lock up that bad old man," he said, clearing his throat.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Ye Langzhong saved his life. He didn't even dare to fart, and was dragged down by the secret guards in despair.
"Your Majesty, the ginseng soup is ready."
"Bring it here." Chu Shaoyang said, took the ginseng soup, scooped it up with a spoon, blew it again, and then brought it to her lips.
She reached for the soup bowl and said, "I can drink it myself."
"You helped me apply medicine just now, and now I retaliate and feed you soup with my own hands. Why, don't you give me this chance?" His tone sank slightly.
She raised her eyes and glanced at him, then drank the spoonful of soup without saying a word.
She didn't want to struggle with her body. This snow ginseng soup was an extremely rare tonic. She needed to replenish her physical strength. Only by nourishing her body and mind could she come up with a better way to get out of trouble.
It was rare for Chu Shaoyang to see her so well-behaved and docile, feeding her a whole bowl of soup in one mouthful, and he was still a little unfinished.
