"Haoxuan, bring Chen back to the crown prince's mansion. I will personally take care of Chen. In addition, I will have to trouble Haoxuan to take care of all the chores that are piled up in the Crown Prince's Palace. You must use the fastest and most effective method to deal with it. I do not wish for any unnecessary troubles to remain. "
Xie Qingrong said coldly, but the gaze that landed on Xuanyuan Chen's face became gentle once again, a deep gentleness hidden within the depths of his eyes.
Xuanyuan Chen was constantly at Xuanyuan Chen's side. Even when Shen Haoxuan had been reporting to him recently, he had never taken half a step out of the room that Xuanyuan Chen was in.
On the eighth day of Xuanyuan Chen's coma, the wounds on his body had already healed, leaving behind only an indistinct scar.
And today, Xie Qingrong had just finished flipping through all of the news that the Azure Dragon and White Tiger had told him about in Jiang Prefecture, when she heard a hoarse cough sound.
was so shocked that he immediately placed the letter in his hand to the side and quickly walked to Xuanyuan Chen's side. He saw that Xuanyuan Chen's lips were continuously moving slightly, and his voice was too soft, he couldn't really hear what was saying.
When he reached his ear, he heard him say, "Water."
Xie Qingrong immediately poured a cup of warm water and carefully fed it to Xuanyuan Chen. With the release of her throat, Xuanyuan Chen immediately let go of his earlier frown, and started to carefully observe the expression on his face.
His pale cheeks, handsome face, faintly discernible sense of nobility, and the slightest hint of weakness that was revealed by tightly pursing his lips, all of these strangely combined onto Xuanyuan Chen's body.
It was unbelievable that such a strong and resolute man would reveal such a weak expression. However, in the next moment, Xuanyuan Chen slowly opened his eyes, the dark pupils had completely wiped away the weakness on his face.
It was as if he had only seen wrongly with his own eyes, and he was still upset.
Xie Qingrong secretly ridiculed herself. How could a man like Xuanyuan Chen be weak like that?
"A Rong." As soon as he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Chen heard a hoarse voice that sounded like it came from a knife slicing through a coarse leather belt.
Xie Qingrong immediately brought over some water and fed it back to Xuanyuan Chen. Xuanyuan Chen took Xie Qingrong's hand and drank all the warm water in the teacup, only then did he feel his throat become a little more comfortable.
"How long have I been asleep?" Xuanyuan Chen asked. The wound on his back seemed to still be hurting, which showed how serious his injuries were, and when Xie Qingrong looked at him, her eyes turned green and black. It was obvious that she would only show traces of staying up late every now and then.
It was probably because he had been unconscious for too long that Xie Qingrong was worried and stayed by his side night and day.
Xie Qingrong pursed her lips, as if she was extremely unwilling to answer Xuanyuan Chen's question.
Seeing that, Xuanyuan Chen did not press further, but raised his hand with difficulty, smoothing Xie Qingrong's frown, but because he had not moved his hand for a long time, he felt weak.
After slightly lifting it up, he felt that it was a bit sour. After strenuously finishing all the actions he wanted to do, he put it back.
Xie Qingrong's pinky finger quietly hooked up with Xuanyuan Chen's pinky, and said: "You were unconscious for eight days. None of those quack doctors at the Grand Hospital can wake you up early, luckily you're already awake. "
Xuanyuan Chen's body was simply too tired. When he was in Mo Bei, a tendon in his mind would tighten at times, and he would have to worry not only about Wu Huan's sudden sneak attack, but also about whether Xie Qingrong could protect Jiang Zhou and himself.
Then, he travelled day and night to Chu Country, and when he returned, he was assassinated. He was exhausted, and heavily injured.
It was already rare for him to wake up within eight days.
It was also thanks to Xie Qingrong's constant care and protection day and night.
"How is Mo Bei?" This was Xuanyuan Chen's second question after he woke up. However, Xie Qingrong seemed to have already expected it as she said with a light smile, "Mo Yun has brought Wu Huan's thirty man army to slowly approach the border of the Mo Bei. They should have already gone ten kilometers in these few days."
Xuanyuan Chen was slightly taken aback, a trace of anxiousness was revealed between his brows, and he asked. "And then?"
Wu Huan's three hundred thousand strong army had been stationed at a place thirty miles away from Mo Bei. After advancing ten kilometers in these few days, there were still twenty kilometers left.
"Two days ago, after receiving General Xie's letter, I had already sent Shen Haoxuan and Black Tortoise to Mo Bei. Even if they were to travel day and night, I'm afraid it would still take some time to reach Mo Bei. You should get some rest, I'll take care of these things for you temporarily. "
The moment she saw Xuanyuan Chen wake up with her own eyes, she had already decided to go to the Mo Bei in place of him and help him defend the Mo Bei.
Xuanyuan Chen looked at Xie Qingrong's incomparably serious expression, and suddenly lowered his eyelashes. His long and thick eyelashes covered the complex emotions that flashed past his eyes, as he chuckled softly.
But in Xie Qingrong's eyes, Xuanyuan Chen's smile carried a hint of bitterness.
"A Rong, from the moment you came to my side, I have already helped more than enough, but I am unable to even protect you. There is no husband in the world who needs his wife to protect him. "
Although he enjoyed the feeling of being protected by Xie Qingrong, he couldn't do it. Even something like fighting needed Xie Qingrong's help, even if they were husband and wife.
Xie Qingrong moved his finger a little, but this slight movement was naturally unable to hide from Xuanyuan Chen. However, this light movement was just like a little hook, not only did it hook his finger, it also hooked his heart.
"I know all your concerns, but do you trust me? Believe me from the bottom of my heart, believe that I can do this. " Xie Qingrong said softly, but her words did not match the unyielding look on her face, nor the tone that said it could not be doubted.
Xuanyuan Chen stared intently at Xie Qingrong with her deep eyes, the determination and persistence in Xie Qingrong's eyes could be seen. Although there was some helplessness in his heart, what she said was not wrong.
He was her husband, and he should have trusted her. Hadn't he already made his decision long ago? Even though he wanted to break her wings and trap her forever in the cage he made for her, he was still rational enough to let her grow step by step.
As long as she never let go, he would never let go.
Under Xie Qingrong's expectant gaze, he personally heard a word coming out of her mouth.
"Alright."
It contained countless feelings of helplessness, but in the end, all of them were accepted.
"I can promise you, but I still only have one request. You have to protect yourself well and not let yourself get hurt. I hope that there will never be a second time in my life that something has happened in Jiang Prefecture. "
