The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day

Chapter 1430: Chapter 813: Xiao Luming Takes the Initiative (4)

"Does it hurt?"

A male voice suddenly sounded by her ear.

Xie Qianyun was so startled.

She turned her head and saw Xiao Luming appearing here at some point.

The bedchamber and the bathing room were clearly separated by a screen.

Xiao Luming suddenly walked out...

Xie Qianyun instinctively reached for the clothes beside her to cover her almost completely bare body.

The injuries on her body were no better than those on her face, even more terrifyingly gruesome.

The first time a Female Attendant helped her apply medicine, she was so scared her face turned pale, and her fingers kept trembling.

She didn’t want Xiao Luming to see either.

"You go out first." Xiao Luming suddenly instructed the Female Attendant.

The Female Attendant looked at the Empress, not knowing what to do.

"Your Majesty, I still need to apply the medicine," Xie Qianyun stated directly.

"Leave us!"

Xiao Luming’s voice grew colder.

The Female Attendant was so scared she was trembling, not daring to resist.

Xie Qianyun didn’t want others to suffer punishment either, so she signaled the Female Attendant to leave.

The Female Attendant left respectfully.

After she left, Xiao Luming walked directly up to Xie Qianyun.

Xie Qianyun couldn’t help but cling tightly to the clothing and said, "Your Majesty, I need to get dressed..."

Before she could finish her sentence.

Xiao Luming pulled away the clothes Xie Qianyun was holding onto.

Xie Qianyun pressed her lips together.

Suddenly utterly exposed... there really was nothing to be shy about, covered in scars and markings, with hardly a piece of unblemished skin, it couldn’t be called beautiful.

Looking at it would only cause horror.

Her eyes flickered, suddenly noticing Xiao Luming’s long fingers picking up the ointment beside him and slowly beginning to apply it to the scars on her body.

There were many scars.

Xiao Luming applied the ointment carefully, leaving no detail unattended.

Xie Qianyun didn’t know what to feel at this moment.

She could only feel the warmth of his fingertips and the coolness of the ointment tracing over her body continuously.

She watched Xiao Luming, crouching down in front of her, his handsome face, long thick eyelashes, and beneath them, deep eyes full of focus.

For a long time.

After ensuring that Xie Qianyun’s scars were all covered with ointment, Xiao Luming took her clean clothes nearby and helped her dress personally.

Is this...

A dream?!

The young Emperor actually serving her himself.

Something she didn’t dare to even dream of.

Yet it happened.

"Raise your arms!" Xiao Luming frowned.

Xie Qianyun hurriedly returned to her senses.

Indeed, it wasn’t a dream.

The young Emperor remained as fierce as ever.

But was it an illusion?!

How did she suddenly feel that he was so gentle when dressing her?

Afraid of touching her wounds.

After a while.

Xiao Luming finished dressing Xie Qianyun, then stood up and lifted her from the wheelchair horizontally.

Xie Qianyun felt a shock in her chest.

She quickly wrapped her arms around Xiao Luming’s neck.

Truly afraid of him dropping her to the ground.

However, her sudden action seemed to be an act of intimacy.

Xiao Luming’s tightly pressed lips visibly softened at that moment.

After toiling for nearly an hour.

The two finally lay together on the bed.

Xie Qianyun kept doubting if Xiao Luming really intended to sleep with her tonight?!

They had slept together before.

On their wedding night and during the expedition.

She didn’t feel too uneasy about it, but didn’t Xiao Luming despise her?!

Suddenly, his conscience was awoken.

"Empress." In the silence, Xiao Luming suddenly spoke.

Xie Qianyun quickly returned to her senses, respectfully saying, "I am here."

"Tomorrow, I will depart for the Imperial Palace. You are seriously injured, and the Empress Dowager said you need to recuperate at the Oasis for several more months."

"Oh." Xie Qianyun responded.

She actually knew.

The Empress Dowager specifically came to tell her, saying that her current physical condition was not suitable for long journeys and that she needed to convalesce quietly at the Oasis.

She was actually quite happy about it.

"After I return, it might be hard for me to come back to the Oasis, but the Empress Dowager will stay here to take care of you." Xiao Luming said again.

"Very well." Xie Qianyun didn’t quite understand why Xiao Luming was suddenly telling her all this.

So she just agreed.

"Take good care of yourself, once you’ve recovered, I will bring you back to the Imperial Palace."

Xie Qianyun pressed her lips together.

She knew Xiao Luming wouldn’t abandon her.

He married her because of her family background, and that was still intact. Besides, she was disfigured because of him. Emotionally and rationally, Xiao Luming wouldn’t discard her either.

She couldn’t help but sigh.

That sigh, Xiao Luming obviously heard.

His expression immediately darkened, and he said coldly, "You don’t wish to return to the Imperial Palace?"

"No." Xie Qianyun lied, "I’m just afraid my appearance will scare those delicate concubines back at the palace."

"The Empress need not worry, I will make arrangements," Xiao Luming assured.

"Oh."

After all, he is the Emperor, who dares to oppose.

"Wu Huahao will also remain at the Oasis." Xiao Luming suddenly added.

"I know," Xie Qianyun replied.

Wu Huahao’s injuries were no less severe than hers.

He naturally had to convalesce together with her.

"You are the Empress, he is a Minister. You must maintain a distance," Xiao Luming stated seriously.

"..."

"After returning to the Imperial Palace, I will immediately have someone find a marriage alliance for Wu Huahao," Xiao Luming continued, "Once he recovers, I will personally grant him a marriage."

"Then you must find a good lady," Xie Qianyun said earnestly.

"Of course," Xiao Luming agreed readily.

His eyes seemingly glanced at Xie Qianyun.

Seeing she didn’t have much of a reaction, his expression seemed to soften.

"Get some sleep," Xiao Luming instructed.

"You too, Your Majesty."

After saying this, Xie Qianyun laboriously turned over, sleeping with her back to Xiao Luming.

Xiao Luming looked at Xie Qianyun’s back, his long arm wanted to pull her into his embrace, but then he remembered the scars covering her body.

He ultimately held back, retracting his hand.
