In fact, these were just superficial injuries to Xiao Chengji, so he didn't care much about them.

But Yan Yu was really worried about him and stayed by his side without taking off his clothes.

Seeing Yan Yu like this, Xiao Chengji felt a tingling pain in his heart.

In fact, this was not the first time he was stabbed or injured, but this was the first time someone cared about him like this.

Originally, he felt that the wound didn't hurt that much, but since Yan Yu cared, Xiao Chengji pretended that he was seriously injured.

Xiao Chengji concealed the matter from the emperor and did not tell him. The group of assassins had made complete preparations, and Xiao Chengji's men had not found out anything. Even if the emperor's men came, the result would have been the same.

Besides, Xiao Chengji was in danger because he took Yan Yu out, and he didn't want the emperor to think that Yan Yu had to go out because he had too many problems.

Xiao Chengji knew these people's behavior very well. Most of the time, these people would blame the servants or the women and would never blame the masters.

Xiao Chengji will take on some responsibilities if he can. As a man, he will never let others blame his woman.

Yan Yu slept beside Xiao Chengji at night. She didn't seem to sleep well, with her eyebrows slightly furrowed, perhaps she had a bad dream.

The room was a little dim. Several lights had been turned off, leaving only one lamp at the bedside. The gilded glass lampshade emitted a faint yellow light, and the scent of soothing incense filled every corner.

Xiao Chengji's facial features were too three-dimensional and deep, and they appeared softer under the light, lacking the cold and callous feeling he had during the day.

After a moment, Xiao Chengji raised his hand and pushed the black hair on Yan Yu's face behind his ears.

The scenes at that time seemed to be happening before his eyes. Xiao Chengji had always known that Yan Yu liked him. Many times, others might not be able to tell whether he was liked by another person, but he could definitely detect the unique feelings from the details.

The way Yan Yu looked at him and the tone she used when speaking to him were always different from the way she treated others. Her admiration was not expressed in words, but was demonstrated through the long time they spent together.

What Xiao Chengji didn't know was that Yan Yu actually valued him so much that she was willing to die with him.

To be honest, Xiao Chengji must have felt very happy about this fact.

But reason told him that such a thing could only happen once.

Even if he really encounters an accident in the future, he cannot let Yan Yu follow him. Suicide for love can happen on the stage or in a novel, but it must never happen to Yan Yu.

Xiao Chengji stroked Yan Yu's pointed chin with his fingertips.

Maybe they really should have a child. With a child as a support, Yan Yu would not do anything stupid easily even if he encountered danger in the future.

Even if Xiao Chengji died, he didn't want Yan Yu to die.

Yan Yu was really restless in his sleep, as if he had a nightmare. He woke up suddenly, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and breathing seemed to be difficult.

"Your Highness!"

Yan Yu covered his chest with his hands, and finally saw Xiao Chengji, and then he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Chengji held her in his arms: "It's okay, the king is here."

Yan Yu's eyelashes quickly became moist, and she buried her face in Xiao Chengji's arms and cried silently.

She lost her parents and brothers when she was young, and went south to live with her grandparents alone. For many years, she felt that her situation was not warm enough.

The only person she loves the most now is Xiao Chengji, and she absolutely cannot lose Xiao Chengji again.

"Your Highness, take good care of your injuries and make sure you get well." Yan Yu's voice was a little choked up, "I..."

Xiao Chengji patted her back gently: "Okay, even if it's just for you, I will take care of my body."

Yan Yu hugged his waist and started crying again, soon soaking his clothes on his chest.

She will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly.

Normally, Yan Yu is not a very serious person, and he won't be too ruthless in doing things.

But once her bottom line is touched, she becomes ruthless and even cruel.

In a sense, Yan Yu is exactly the same person as Xiao Chengji, and only people with the same nature can have such a fatal attraction.

The imperial physician had instructed that Xiao Chengji's wounds should be patched twice a day, and the bandages should be changed to clean ones. He had several injuries on his shoulders and back, but only the shoulder was deeply wounded, while the wounds on other parts were shallow and not that deep.

Yan Yu did not delegate matters such as changing the dressings to other people, but did it himself.

At first, Xiao Chengji didn't want Yan Yu to come for the exchange, mainly because the wound was a bit hideous, and the bleeding and scabbing during the healing process made people feel more or less psychologically uncomfortable. Xiao Chengji still wanted to maintain his indestructible image in front of Yan Yu.

Yan Yu was completely worried that others would hurt Xiao Chengji due to their clumsiness. Although Xiao Chengji felt that she was sometimes clumsy, Yan Yu considered herself to be deft and skillful.

To be honest, Yan Yu was indeed more gentle. Her fingers were nimble and light, much gentler than those eunuchs. Many times, before Xiao Chengji felt any pain, she had already carefully untied the bandage and sprinkled the medicine powder on him evenly and carefully.

After changing two or three times, Xiao Chengji also got used to letting Yan Yu come.

In the morning, Yan Yu no longer slept in. Instead, he carefully pulled Xiao Chengji over, touched his body again and again, untied the bandages, looked at the wounds on his body, and after carefully checking that the wounds were not cracked or bleeding, he applied a thin layer of medicine powder and re-bandaged them.

During this time when Xiao Chengji was injured, he still had the energy to think about other things, but he could only think about it. Considering his injuries, Yan Yu would never let him do anything reckless.

So early in the morning he saw the disheveled, pitiful little beauty touching herself in his arms, undressing her and dressing her. The scene was as beautiful as it could be, but he could not do anything.

Yan Yu finally finished bandaging him and breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't ride a horse when you go back, Your Highness, come with me in the carriage."

Xiao Chengji said "hmm" in a nonchalant tone: "The wound hurts."

Yan Yu's heart instantly lifted up, and he looked worriedly: "Where does it hurt?"

Xiao Chengji pointed to his shoulder.

Yan Yu suspected that he had pressed the wound just now, and hesitated whether to untie it and change the bandage again.

Seeing that she had been fooled, Xiao Chengji smiled and said, "Give me a kiss, and it won't hurt anymore."

Yan Yu actually believed such an obvious lie, and really leaned over and kissed her through her clothes.

After the kiss, look up at him.

Her eyelashes were very long, but at the moment they were wet, and her black and white eyes were also moist enough to seem to drip water.

Xiao Chengji chuckled and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
