Prince! The political conspiracy is not a play, the show is real

For a moment, Tao Yao felt a chill on her back. The lie she had told before had turned into a boomerang and was swinging back at her.

Cheng Tianshui looked at Tao Yao suspiciously, then at Chu Huanjun, and asked Chu Huanjun, "Nephew, she and that Lu guy are getting married soon, didn't you know?"

Tao Yao clearly saw the corners of Chu Huanjun's mouth twitch twice, and even the muscles at the end of his eyebrows twitched - but he still quickly revealed a generous smile, covering up the anger that had just been revealed in his expression.

"How would I know all this? Ah—well, I have to congratulate Second Miss Shi first. However, marriage is a major event in life, and it shouldn't be taken lightly. I wonder if Second Miss Shi has discussed her marriage to Master Lu with General Zhenbei?"

Tao Yao smiled dryly and tried to brush it off, but she felt the burning gazes of the three people around her burning on her, as if they wanted to fry her in a pan of hot oil.

Then, Tao Yao suddenly raised her hand to support her forehead, made an expression as if she had a headache, and said in a trembling voice: "Ouch... Why do I feel dizzy? My head hurts so much..."

Chu Huanjun could tell at a glance that Tao Yao was acting, so he decided to act with her.

Chu Huanjun took two or three steps forward and hugged the weak and unable Tao Yao in his arms. With his other hand, he immediately handed the porcelain bowl filled with medicine to the corner of Tao Yao's mouth.

He lowered his head and blew on the still steaming medicine. In this action, he accidentally slid his lips across Tao Yao's cheek, which was a blatant act of taking advantage of her.

"Drink this medicine quickly, and your headache will go away." Chu Huanjun said softly.

Tao Yao seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move, and had no choice but to let Chu Huanjun slowly pour the bowl of medicine into her mouth. Tao Yao could only swallow the medicine like a puppet until the whole bowl was finished.

Tao Yao almost choked.

After a few exchanges, Cheng Tianshui finally understood what was going on. He pointed at Tao Yao and said with a wry smile, "Little girl, you are quite capable. The old man was right about you."

Tao Yao didn't understand what Cheng Tianshui meant by that, but it definitely wasn't a good thing. After feeding her the medicine, Chu Huanjun finally let go of her arms, but the next moment he grabbed Tao Yao's wrist tightly again, leaving her no time to escape.

Tao Yao was about to break free from Chu Huanjun's hand, but Chu Huanjun gently pushed open the door of the front room and walked forward taking Tao Yao's hand.

"Leaving? Where to? Don't you want to see how Lu Che is doing? Why don't you want to see him anymore?"

Chu Huanjun was a little jealous and a little angry, but not to the point of being so petty.

He was angry because Tao Yao did not value his own life. He knew that he had no martial arts skills and was weak, and that he would definitely not be able to defeat Zuo Tang and Zuo Qiu's group, but he still dared to go into the dangerous teahouse alone to save Lu Che.

He was jealous because the person Tao Yao risked her life to save was actually Lu Che - Tao Yao had never treated him like this before.

But it was precisely because of this that Chu Huanjun liked her more. Because she was the kind of person who could do things she normally feared for the sake of the people she cherished, and could burst out with tremendous courage in an instant to break through herself.

Chu Huanjun likes Tao Yao, the girl who is willing to trust a strange boy in the desert and let him ride the Wolf King with her to help him get out of the desert. The girl who is willing to jump into the Chishui River with him without thinking after he was poisoned, even though she can't swim.

Tao Yao couldn't hide her worry about Lu Che. She hadn't expected Chu Huanjun to be so generous this time, so she just stared at him blankly for a long moment, perhaps suspecting Chu Huanjun was up to something bad again.

Chu Huanjun just patted her shoulder and said softly, "Go quickly and see him."

Tao Yao's eyes became hot and she ran in quickly.

The room was tiny, so small it seemed only big enough for a bed. Lu Che slept on that bed, the quilt covering only his lower half. His upper body was naked, his wound freshly medicated and only half bandaged.

Seeing the countless shocking wounds on Lu Che's body, Tao Yao's heart sank suddenly, as if she saw the scene of Lu Che lying in a pool of blood in the attic of the teahouse again.

So much blood flowed out of his body, it seemed that it was almost gone... Tao Yao never knew that a person could bleed so much.

Tao Yao suddenly felt a little dizzy - it seemed that the illusion of blood all over the ground reappeared in front of her eyes, and the fishy, ​​sweet and spicy smell of blood rushed into her nostrils again.

Tao Yao's body couldn't help but tremble. She pinched a piece of flesh on her chest uncomfortably, trying to hold back the urge to vomit that was just aroused by the smell of blood.

Cheng Tianshui noticed Tao Yao's anomaly and quickly stepped forward to explain, "I just applied some special medicine to him. He needs to be left open to air for a while before bandaging him. If you can't stand the sight of blood, you'd better wait until I've finished bandaging him before you come back."

Tao Yao quickly shook her head and bit her lip, saying, "It's not that I can't stand the sight of blood... I'm just worried. Lu Che is so badly injured, how much of a recovery can he expect?"

Cheng Tianshui's expression changed, and he smiled proudly, patting his chest and saying, "Girl, you can rest assured about this. I, Cheng Tianshui, am the best at treating external injuries. I can promise you that as long as you let him recuperate diligently in my clinic for three months and follow the doctor's orders, I will definitely give you a healthy husband."

As soon as the word "My dear" came out, Chu Huanjun's face, which had been smiling just now, suddenly became a little gloomy.

Tao Yao was so focused on worrying about Lu Che's injuries that she didn't notice the details in Cheng Tianshui's words. She nodded repeatedly and said, "That's good, that's good. Thank you, Doctor Cheng..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she rushed to Lu Che's bedside to see him.

Due to excessive blood loss, Lu Che's face was pale and bloodless, and even his lips were cracked and colorless. His whole face was like a sculpture that had not yet been painted with ink, with only outlines but no life.

Lu Che just lay there quietly, his eyes closed, his expression peaceful, as if nothing had happened. He was just taking a nap here, and when he woke up, he would go to the nearby snack street with Tao Yao to find food.

Tao Yao looked at Lu Che lying silently on the bed, and her eyes couldn't help but feel hot and tears welled up - he was clearly a lively and energetic person in the morning, but now he was covered with bruises and lying lifeless on the bed, unable to say a single word to her.

Tao Yao wanted to hold Lu Che's hand, but his hands were also covered with wounds. She was afraid of hurting him, so she had to poke the back of his hand gently with her fingers.

The back of Lu Che's hand was still warm - Tao Yao was finally able to confirm that Lu Che was really still alive.
