After Si Huaijing made this move, Shen Yueyu looked at him with a bit more weirdness in his eyes.

She looked at Si Huaijing carefully and found that he was also injured, and even his long white hair, which he usually took good care of, was a little messy.

"Why didn't you tell me you were injured?" Shen Yueyu handed him the remaining ointment:

"Use it."

Si Huaijing reached out and took the ointment, his eyelashes drooping:

"Thank you."

Shen Yueyu looked at his now somewhat embarrassed appearance and asked him in a low voice: "Why?"

Si Huaijing raised his eyes: "Why?"

"Why do you want to help Jiang Zeye?" Shen Yueyu looked at him carefully:

"You are the fifth prince of Xinglan Kingdom. If you kill Jiang Zeye, you can even gain military merit, which will be better for your plan."

"You're increasing the risk to yourself by helping him."

"I'm not helping him." Si Huaijing shook his head slightly: "I'm helping myself."

"What do you mean?" Shen Yueyu asked.

Si Huaijing had a strand of white hair falling down his cheek. He looked at Shen Yueyu with gentle eyes: "You are my wife, you can't let anything happen to you."

"So, when I protect him, I am also protecting you."

"Why are you protecting me?" Shen Yueyu was still a little suspicious of him.

She still didn't believe that Si Huaijing would take such a big risk to help her for this reason.

Si Huaijing smiled bitterly:

"My out-of-control value is very high."

Si Huaijing said, pulling Shen Yueyu's hand and placing it on his flawless face:

"I wonder if my wife is willing to help me."

Shen Yueyu lifted his cheek, but saw a smile that did not reach his eyes under this perfect and charming fox face.

"Is this a condition of exchange?" Shen Yueyu asked him.

She discovered that Si Huaijing's out-of-control value was indeed very high, about seventy, which was quite dangerous.

"Of course." Si Huaijing chuckled.

"This is a deal between the two of us."

Shen Yueyu: "Okay."

After Si Huaijing said this, she felt less worried about it.

After all, the transaction between two people is the most fair. Si Huaijing will not do things for others for no reason. Now that he knows that he wants her to appease his out-of-control value, Shen Yueyu feels more at ease.

Upon hearing this, Si Huaijing's smile deepened. He gently kissed the back of Shen Yueyu's hand, with ripples in his fox eyes, like a bewitching demon.

"Then I'll trouble you, my wife."

Shen Yueyu looked at him with a more complicated look, but he also used his mental power to pass it to him.

Xu Yanzhuo, who was guarding Jiang Zeye, looked away when he saw this, feeling too embarrassed to watch.

He turned his back to Si Huaijing and muttered, "What a bunch of predators."

"Jiang Zeye slapped me once, and Si Huaijing slapped me twice."

Si Huaijing pretended not to hear. He looked at Shen Yueyu with a smile in his eyes, and it seemed that his eyes were full of Shen Yueyu.

Because Shen Yueyu's current mental power level was too high, she didn't have to put in any effort, and there was not even any mental fusion, and she quickly cleared out all the mental power from Si Huaijing.

It was as if there was no difference between Si Huaijing in front of her and those male orcs she had kindly comforted.

Shen Yueyu withdrew his hand: "Okay."

Si Huaijing's fingers grabbed nothing, but he didn't get angry. He just stood up gracefully.

"Thank you, my wife, for your gift."

Shen Yueyu soon heard the system's announcement in his mind:

[Ding, the system has detected that the capture target Si Huaijing's favorability towards you has increased by +3, and the current total favorability is 71.]

71. It turned out that he had increased his favorability without realizing it.

This is a very high number. Shen Yueyu knows that Si Huaijing's words can lie, but his favorability cannot.

Si Huaijing seemed to be in a good mood because he had just cleared the out-of-control value. He applied the ointment on the wound.

"Those people are still looking for Jiang Zeye." Si Huaijing's voice was faint:

"So, we can't light a fire to roast meat for warmth. Please be patient for a while."

"I'm fine." Shen Yueyu looked at Si Huaijing's back.

I found that even in such a situation, his back still looked elegant and noble, and he naturally exuded an unattainable temperament.

"It's you." Shen Yueyu asked him softly:

"You have achieved your goal. Don't you want to leave here early?"

"After all, you are now a general of the Xinglan Nation. If someone finds out that you are showing favoritism, then your plan will be affected."

Shen Yueyu knew that Si Huaijing had been consolidating his power in Xinglan Country over the years. If those people knew that Si Huaijing did this, many of them would definitely be disappointed in him.

Si Huaijing's fingers, which were applying the ointment, paused slightly.

"You are my wife and master. I will not leave until I have ensured your safety."

Shen Yueyu shook his head slightly when he heard this: "You are lying."

Si Huaijing turned around and looked at her: "I don't understand what you mean."

Seeing him like this, Shen Yueyu didn't want to pretend anymore, so she stepped forward, looked at him and said:

"Do you know why I've always been a little worried about you?"

Si Huaijing shook his head gently: "I don't understand. It seems that I haven't done anything to hurt Miss Shen Yueyu, right?"

Shen Yueyu squatted down to look at him, and met Si Huaijing's eyes: "You have it."

Si Huaijing nodded gracefully: "Ms. Shen Yueyu, please speak."

"You drugged your brother Si Yelin for a long time, causing him to do many impulsive things. He lost control of his emotions and nearly transformed into a beast."

Shen Yueyu stared into his eyes: "What is your purpose in doing this?"

Si Huaijing's lips curled slightly, but he did not deny the answer.

"It's okay if you don't tell me, let me guess." Shen Yueyu thought for a moment:

"Si Yelin is the Crown Prince. You and him have always been superficially close, but in reality they are at odds. Although he didn't completely lose control because of me, he paid a heavy price—he was deposed from the Crown Prince position."

"You must be feeling very happy, right?" Shen Yueyu looked at him:

"After all, it's not easy to take revenge on him like this."

Shen Yueyu's words undoubtedly revealed Si Huaijing's dark thoughts, and a dark crack seemed to finally appear on his gentle fake smile.

Seeing this, Si Huaijing sighed softly: "I was negligent in this matter after all, and he found out some clues."

Shen Yueyu looked at his still gentle mask and asked: "Why don't you continue to lie to me?"

"My wife already has the answer in her heart, right?" Si Huaijing's voice was light.

Indeed, if he continued to deceive Shen Yueyu, Shen Yueyu would not believe it, so it would be better to be honest with her.
