Xi Men Rui Xue's voice came from behind her. She sounded weak and weak like a mosquito, but she heard it clearly. She held his hand that was holding her sleeve and turned around to face him again. He was still covered in blood on the bed.

"Medicine..." His voice trembled as he was barely able to utter a word. At this moment, the hand that he was holding gently moved towards his chest. When he stopped, Ruo Ruo followed his hand and brought to his bosom.

She found a small package. If she was right, it should be medicine.

He reached out and took out the bag. When he opened it, there was indeed a powder inside. "Is it a Golden Sore Medicine?"

He nodded, "Spread it over the wound and bandage it again." After saying that, Xi Men Rui Xue closed her eyes as if she could not take it any longer.

"Rui …" If he cried out in fear, he couldn't die! If he died, how would she deal with him?

She didn't want to tell anyone, but she had never really treated anyone's wound. She had only touched the musical instrument the most, but she had never touched such a wound.

Her hands trembled as she peeled off his clothes, one by one, they were all stained with blood. When his skin was exposed in front of her eyes, her face reddened as she realized that this was the first time in her life she had undressed a man.

Not caring about being shy, when the last piece of clothing was taken off, several criss-crossing wounds on Ximen Ruixue's chest were exposed. The wounds were either deep or shallow, like arrows or knives.

Gritting his teeth, he tried to prevent himself from screaming out loud. Then, he found a soft cloth and wiped the blood off of his body as lightly as possible, wiping off the medicinal powder that had been scattered all over his body. With that many injuries, he did not even need to think to know that it would hurt.

After taking care of the upper part of his body, there were three arrow wounds on his leg. He applied medicine on them as before, and then found cloth to wrap the three wounds. When everything was done and he sat down on the bed panting, looking at him, it was a miracle that he was able to come back alive despite so many injuries.

"Water …" He gently called out once he was done with the wound. His thin lips opened and closed, still revealing a hint of paleness.

The cup was placed next to his lips, and he drank it bit by bit. She thought that he would definitely go to sleep, but he did not, squinted her eyes, and said: "Ruo Ruo, put away those clothes, put them under the bed, and go to the closet to find a set of clean clothes."

"Alright." At such a time, she had long since forgotten the grudge and hatred. She quickly followed his instructions and did what he told her to do.

After retrieving a set of clean clothes, his face was now filled with exhaustion, as if he was extremely tired.

Just as he was about to put it on, the sound of low footsteps suddenly came from within the courtyard, causing him to be alarmed. He quickly grabbed the set of clothes from Ruo Ruo's hands and put it on, standing firmly on the ground. If he had not seen her covered in blood before, he would not have been able to connect her with the injured him.

He didn't know what he was going to do. Did he lose his life? That's what a bandaged wound looks like.

"Clean up the bed sheets and check if there are any blood stains on the floor. Hurry." As he urged her in a low voice, the sound of footsteps outside the door was getting closer and closer. At the same time, a male voice also sounded.

"Cui Er, is Sixth Brother here?" Cui Er's voice was so natural. It finally made him understand the reason why Xi Men Rui Xue did not let him call Cui Er.

So there were some people that he didn't believe in either.

But at this moment, he actually believed in himself.

He was very smart. Even when his entire body was covered in blood, he did not let the blood drip onto the ground. The cloth he was wearing was extremely absorbing, so the blood had already been absorbed by his clothes, so naturally there wouldn't be any blood dripping onto the floor. The bed sheets had already changed, and when he quickly finished, his body was suddenly hugged by Xi Men Rui Xue from behind. She cried out in alarm at his sudden action.

The man actually bent his head down, and his lips instantly fell on hers. His kiss wasn't as warm as last night, but it still made her blush and feel her heart palpitate. Thinking of his injury, her hand on his chest didn't do anything to push him away.

"The Crown Prince just returned. He's in his room."

"I'll go in and take a look."

"Absolutely not." Cui Er seemed to be stopping him, but the voice had lost its confidence.

The door creaked open behind Zhiruo, and a fresh scent of the night came from outside. Before Zhiruo could even take a breath of the smell, the voice of the man from before could be heard, "Sixth brother, when did you move into this small yard again? Isn't the palace good? "

The tip of her tongue trembled as she hooked onto Ruo Ruo's lilac. At that moment, if Ruo Ruo knew that he was holding on, she would obediently lie in his embrace and let him kiss her for another five seconds before he finally let go of her lips as if he was reluctant to part with her, "Big brother, it's so late. What wind blew you over here?"

"Hehe! Sixth Brother hasn't slept yet but has just returned from the palace?" After a slight hesitation, the First Prince Ximen Rui asked with a deep voice.

Xi Men Rui Xue gently placed it on the ground. She used her hand to stroke her face and gently said, "Be good and go to sleep." As he said that, he opened the bed for her. Ruoruo obediently entered the bed. The wounds she had applied medicine on Xi Men Rui Xue were constantly flashing through her mind.

Heavens, I really don't know how he managed to do that. He actually had the ability to remain expressionless in front of that prince. No one could tell that he was feeling uncomfortable.

So many wounds, although not fatal, but the pain was necessary.

"Un, I just returned. Ruo'er just went to admire Lian Lian. Look, the room is filled with the scent of dew and Lian." The tone of Xi Men Rui Xue's voice was calm and refined. There was not a single ripple in her calmness.

Xi Men Rui Chu continued, "Fifth brother asked me to come over and check that you left the palace safely. It's good that you're back. I won't disturb you any longer."

"Yes, big brother, I'm fine." He replied with a smile and looked at Ximen Rui Chu. He did not ask him to stay because it was unnecessary and this was his bedroom. It would be weird if he really did leave anyone behind.

If she did not understand the profoundness behind their words, then she knew very little about the Imperial Family and was not interested in them. However, the more she wanted to stay away, the more the people from the Imperial Family dragged her inside.

"Cui Er, send our guest off." Although he was still confident, Ruo Ruo could feel the fatigue in his voice. Only she knew how serious his injuries were.

The door was closed by Cui Er. Zhiruo quickly sat up and was about to get out of bed to pull the curtains. She needed the moonlight when she bandaged up the room, but now, it was no longer necessary.

Xi Men Rui Xue pulled her arm. "Where are you going?"

The tone of her voice sounded as if she was afraid that she would run away. "I'll go and close the curtains."

"No need, I don't want to arouse Cui Er's suspicions." With that, he laid down on the bed with the support of the bedpost.

Under the moonlight, Ruo Ruo saw the gray color on his face again. When she untied the belt and buckle, blood started to faintly seep out from the wounds that had just been bandaged up. Ruo Rui wanted to help him bandage the wounds again, but Ximen Rui Xue said, "No need, I'll sleep for a while."

"Oh." Seeing that he refused, Zhiruo only responded with a light reply before lightly pulling the bedsheet over his body.

At this moment, Ruo Ruo could no longer fall asleep. She was in high spirits as she looked at the unenthusiastic Xi Men Rui Xue lying on the bed, she was like a sleeping tiger, his claws were no longer sharp, it seemed that with one hit, she could completely crush him. However, looking at his somewhat ashen face and seeing that she had nothing to do, she quietly guarded him throughout the night.

It was not until the sky had turned white that the sound of rapid footsteps and reporting could be heard from outside the door. "Crown Prince, Fu Qing is here."

Although the man on the bed had only slept for four hours, he still opened his eyes in the shortest amount of time. When he saw her, a gentle smile appeared in his eyes as he said, "Ruo'er, go to sleep."

It was like her amnesty, she was really sleepy. It was as if she was hypnotized by him as she lay on the bed, seemingly asleep.

Other than sleeping at night, Ximen Ruixue stayed in her study room. She did not want to disturb her; initially, she was happy, but upon thinking about the wounds on his body, she could not seem to get away from him. However, it seemed that Fu Qing had not left his side at all, and it seemed that the injuries on his body were caused by Fu Qing changing the medicine for him. Thinking that it was another man who had changed the medicine for him instead of her, she felt a little awkward.

She shook off the confused thoughts and started to read, but no matter how hard she tried to make up her mind that the page that had been opened was the first page, she could not read it.

He couldn't see anything.

Cui'er and the two mama were still there, taking care of her daily meals. When she woke up that day, the bloodstained clothes and bed sheets she had left under the bed had long since disappeared.
