Becoming a widow for the sake of good fortune? The short-lived prince lived a hundred years

"Tsk!" Weak chicken!

Yan Xining did not take advantage of his illness to kill him. She withdrew her hand, jumped off the bed, walked barefoot on the ground, and walked towards the table.

After playing for a long time, I feel a little hungry.

She lifted her middle garment, sat down with her legs spread wide open, and without using a wine glass, she directly picked up the small silver pot and drank from it with her neck tilted back.

What wedding wine? Go to hell!

Chu Jinxun narrowed his eyes. Under the red candle, the features of the woman in red were delicate yet unfamiliar. The clear wine slid into her throat, and he seemed to be able to see the swallowing movement of the snow-white neck in red. Some wine spilled and landed on her red lips, brightening the rouge color.

She was not wearing shoes, and her snow-white toes were exposed from under the hem of her skirt. She exuded a sense of grandeur and freedom, yet also a bit rough... like a wild cat.

A dark glint flashed through his eyes, and he narrowed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "You are not an assassin?"

I'm afraid this is not a fool!

"If I were an assassin, you would be dead now!" Yan Xining turned her head and rolled her eyes, but her eyes narrowed slightly.

At this moment, on the bed, the quilt was half lifted, revealing a handsome man in a snow-white undershirt, half-open. He was half-turned, his black hair hanging down, covering half of his chest. He leaned against the bed, his face pale, blood still on his lips, and his eyes seemed bloodshot, yet wet, like the sky after rain.

The sharpness and ferocity just now are all gone, and the red and white form a sharply contrasting picture, which has a strong visual impact!

So pure and lustful!

Yan Xining became interested and walked closer with the wine jug in her hand. She took a look at the pool of blood on the ground. The blood was black in color. She walked around it, came to the bed, and looked down at him.

"then who are you?"

"I am your princess for the wedding! To put it simply, in name only, you are my man and I am your woman!"

Chu Jinxun pursed his lips again, his tone full of doubt: "Are you Yan Xueqi? One of the three most talented women in the capital?" Has the rumor about her being a lady from a noble family become so untrue?

"I'm sorry to disappoint you. My name is Yan Xining, and I'm from the countryside! I'm not good at poetry, calligraphy, painting, or needlework, and I have no moral integrity. They heard you were dying, and they were afraid that Yan Xueqi, whom they had carefully nurtured, would become a widow, so they asked me to take her place! Of course, you could also think I was trying to sow discord."

The girl snorted, not sure if it was self-deprecating or joking.

Chu Jinxun's eyes deepened a little, and he seemed a little dazed.

Yan Xining smiled at him and said, "The delicate flower in your heart has been replaced by weeds by the roadside. Are you disappointed? I understand this feeling of disparity, but I can't help you!"

Chu Jinxun looked at the pool of black blood, then raised his head and faced her with a nonchalant smile: "Congratulations, my princess, you don't have to be a widow anymore!"

"hehe!"

Chu Jinxun twitched his thin lips, and a wave of emotion appeared in the depths of his clear eyes: "You seem a little disappointed?"

"Of course. If you died, the entire palace would be mine. Now that you're alive, do you think I should be happy?" Yan Xining didn't care and raised his head to drink.

"Then why did you save me?" Chu Jinxun narrowed his eyes again. A woman who coveted the royal family's property?

"I didn't want to save you, I just felt a little guilty!" Yan Xining's eyes flashed, her whole face lit up, and she suddenly took a few steps closer. After seeing his wary eyes, she stopped, her eyes burning with enthusiasm and expectation: "Anyway, I saved you. This is a life-saving favor. Don't you have to... repay me handsomely?"

"Are you short of money?" Chu Jinxun pursed his lips.

"What are you saying? I'm a country boy, how can I not be short of money?"

"...Okay, how much do you want?"

"At least... one hundred taels of silver!"

"Sure! I'll have someone bring it to you tomorrow morning!" His tone was flat, but the ending was a little hard to describe, even revealing some gnashing of teeth?

"Deal!" Yan Xining shook the empty wine jug. "Can you ask someone to bring some food? I'm hungry! This won't satisfy my hunger!"

Chu Jinxun glanced at her, his expression cold and indifferent, as if the pale-faced man with only one breath left had disappeared, replaced by the current "Keep away from strangers": "Come here!"

A voice soon rang out from outside: "What are your orders, my Lord?"

"Prepare some water, and also, bring some food!"

"Yes!"

Chu Jinxun waved to Yan Xining.

"What are you doing?" Calling the puppy?

However, she still walked to the bedside with a straight face. The sickly little girl had just woken up, wouldn't she be thinking about the wedding night?

Chu Jinxun raised his eyes, his gaze cold and without a trace of warmth: "Let's talk about cooperation!"

Yan Xining glanced at him and said, "You say!"

"I know you don't want to marry me, and it's not my intention to marry you. I can give you a place to live and all the honors a princess deserves, but beyond that, there's nothing else!"

Yan Xining smiled: "What is this other thing talking about?"

Chu Jinxun looked at her smiling eyes and playful expression. He was silent for a moment. Was the daughter of the Weiyuan Marquisate who was mistakenly swapped with someone in the countryside actually like this? He said slowly, "Skin-to-skin contact!"

Yan Xining: “…”

Does she look so impatient?

"You and I are husband and wife. I won't restrict you from doing anything you want, but you must behave properly in front of outsiders!"

"Well, isn't it just about cooperating with each other, not disturbing each other, sleeping under the same blanket, but having different dreams?"

Chu Jinxun paused, thought about it, and nodded silently. Although... that was indeed what he meant.

Yan Xining looked him up and down.

Under her gaze, Chu Jinxun gathered his scattered clothes to cover his half-exposed upper body.

A hint of teasing flashed across Yan Xining's eyes. "Do you know you're not born weak or sick as the legend says, but rather poisoned?"

Chu Jinxun pursed his lips and nodded silently. He wasn't born with a disease, but with a poison! The poison weakened the body and eventually led to death. However, no matter which doctor examined him, they couldn't find any signs of poisoning, so he fell ill every few days. Even the imperial physician's diagnosis was simply that he was born with a deficiency.

He grew up sick and always had medicine bottles in his arms. The imperial physician knew his family's doorstep better than his own.

He also always believed that he was born with a disease and was born with deficiencies.

until……

Yan Xining raised her eyebrows and smiled, the corners of her lips turned up, her eyes like a pool of autumn water flashed with a bit of cunning light: "I can cure it!"

Chu Jinxun suddenly raised his eyes and looked at her, with inquiry, scrutiny, and questioning in his eyes, but without surprise or expectation.

"Aren't you happy?"

Chu Jinxun twitched the corner of his mouth. "From childhood to adulthood, I've been examined by all the imperial doctors in the palace. Doctors all over the world take no less than a thousand taels of medical fees from the palace every year. Do you think I should be happy?"

I understand. I’ve been disappointed so many times that I don’t dare to hope anymore!

Yan Xining's eyes were filled with a flamboyant smile. "Every profession has its specialties, and a thousand medicines can cure a thousand diseases. Just because they can't do it doesn't mean I can't! Besides, if it weren't for me, would you have woken up and fought me in bed for three hundred rounds?"

A hint of red flashed across Chu Jinxun's pale face. Looking at the woman in front of him, he felt... indescribable!

Didn't she feel that there was something ambiguous in what she said?

"Tell me your conditions!"

"I think your previous agreement is a good one. We are now in a partnership. Since it's just a partnership, my detoxification and treatment are considered additional services, so I will charge for them!"

“How much will it cost?”

"One hundred taels at a time!"

"Is this your condition?"

"Well, just tell me whether you agree or not!"

"make a deal!"

Yan Xining's eyes lit up. She liked the wealth and generosity!

Her beautiful eyebrows suddenly curved, her moist red lips lifted slightly, and she smiled sincerely: "Brother, that's great! Don't worry, I will definitely find the herbs to remove the poison from your body, so that you can be full of energy and no longer be troubled by illness!"

Chu Jinxun said in a gloomy tone: "You... should call me: Husband, or, Jinxun!"
