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

Sure enough, as she asked this question, Chu Jinxun's face turned even redder and he opened his eyes.

But his hands under the water involuntarily clenched together, and his breathing became disordered.

He pretended to be calm, but his eyes turned away from Yan Xining, and his voice was so soft that he lacked confidence: "Just, just woke up!"

Yan Xining saw how uncomfortable he was and understood. He was only wearing a pair of underwear in the water. It was okay when he was unconscious, but now that he woke up and looked into her eyes, he was bound to feel embarrassed.

She looked away, smiled, and asked, "Do you need me to help you up?"

"No, thanks!" Chu Jinxun sat up straight. He hadn't noticed it before, but now it seemed even harder for him to smell the strong medicinal smell in the room. He also discovered another bathtub next to him. The dark water in the tub was the source of the medicinal smell.

He felt a little cold, and when he lowered his head, he saw his naked upper body with water droplets rolling down. It was really... rude.

He turned his head a little hurriedly to look at Yan Xining, and met a pair of smiling eyes. Those eyes were as bright as autumn water, open and clean, without any impurities in them.

His heart stagnated and his lips pursed into a line.

Then, he looked down at himself unsurely.

In fact, even when he was sick, he was not really idle. He could wield a sword and practice martial arts and boxing.

Those abdominal muscles were proof of that. He had no excess fat on his body, and even when he wasn't sick, he was actually full of strength. Sometimes he appeared weak, but it was just for show.

Outsiders may not know, but Yan Xining is a doctor, she should know!

Is it because his figure...isn't good enough?

Chu Jinxun's mind wandered for a moment before he finally came to his senses.

"How long have I been in a coma?"

"More than two hours!"

Chu Jinxun was stunned.

This time he woke up so quickly?

Was it because of that bucket of black water, or was it because of Yan Xining’s medical skills?

He suddenly wanted to laugh again. Whether it was a bucket of black water or Yan Xining's acupuncture, weren't they all her medical skills?

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome. You've helped me so much, so consider this as a reward!" She smiled, and the light from the window fell into her eyes and fell on her. Her eyes were glowing, and her whole body seemed to be glowing, making him unable to take his eyes off her for a moment.

The lake in his heart rippled once, and then rippled again.

That day, during a banquet at the Imperial Palace, he suddenly fell ill and nearly died. His father stood by his bed, silent for a long time, then suddenly told him that he had been engaged since childhood. It was only a joke, spoken in the presence of his mother, but his father had said that there was no joking in the imperial family.

Then, my father sent a eunuch to the Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion to convey the imperial decree and choose a date for the wedding.

That was... half a year ago, right?

He understood that it was his tragic illness that had stirred a paternal bond between him and his father. Perhaps he felt pity for him and wanted him to get married, or perhaps...

He didn't want to think about it that way, so he just thought it was his father's pity on him!

Everyone in the capital thought that he was going to marry Yan Xueqi, who was famous in the capital and was known as one of the three most talented women.

Some people are envious, jealous and hateful, and naturally there are a lot of unpleasant words, although those words are only said in private.

They all thought he was lucky, that despite his frail body, he was able to marry such an outstanding person. They also felt sorry for Yan Xueqi, that such a beautiful and noble woman had ended up being a widow!

But he only felt bored.

He had met Yan Xueqi before.

There may be a mysterious connection between people.

He doesn't like it, he even hates it.

He also begged his father to cancel the engagement, saying that he was dying and did not want to ruin Miss Yan's life.

Of course it didn't work.

He thought, just marry her, it doesn't matter. There are so many empty courtyards in the mansion, I can just ask a few more people to keep an eye on it.

It wasn't until a few months ago that he received news that the Yan family had found their lost eldest daughter!

He couldn't help but sneer in his heart, thinking that Weiyuan Hou had a good plan.

He thought that the eldest daughter of the Yan family who had been found was also a pitiful person. When she arrived at the palace, he would let her wear fine clothes and eat delicious food without worrying about food. He could not and would not give her anything else.

The wedding was originally scheduled for half a year later, but that time, he suddenly fell ill.

When my father heard about the folk belief of having a happy wedding, he moved up the wedding date.

It was done in a hurry and everything was done in two days.

Even when worshipping in the hall, only a rooster can be used as a substitute.

Who would have thought that when he woke up, he would see Miss Yan?

It's so novel, interesting, bold, passionate and informal!

And, very smart!

That time in the palace, he really felt surprised and funny.

She was really brave. Those girls from official families were so scared that they didn't even dare to raise their heads when facing the power of her father, but she still dared to extort a thousand taels of gold from her father.

Unconsciously, he looked at her more often without even noticing it himself.

Actually, even he himself didn't believe it.

He knew that his poison was unavoidable and no one in the world could cure it, not even that person...

That person said that he was lucky to live to the age of 20, but living to the age of 30 was against heaven's will!

So he never thought about love, let alone getting married and starting a family.

It's all such a coincidence.

Just a few days ago, a thought suddenly occurred to him: If that person is Yan Xining, it actually seems possible!

He felt a little regretful. On the wedding night, the three rules he set seemed to have trapped himself!

"Do you need help?" A clear female voice suddenly broke into his ears, shattering all his thoughts.

He raised his head, his eyes a little confused.

Yan Xining pointed at him.

Only then did he realize that he was still soaking in water.

"No, no need!" He stood up hurriedly.

"Then go get dressed. I've got dry clothes ready for you behind the screen!"

His underwear was soaked with water and almost stuck to his body. He felt a little embarrassed and walked quickly behind the screen. Sure enough, his clothes were hanging on the shelf over there.

From underwear, to middle clothing, to outer robe.

Did she prepare it?

A pair of white hands seemed to appear before his eyes, holding his clothes and placing them one by one on the shelf.

The corners of his lips unconsciously raised.

He took a dry towel and wiped the water droplets off his body. After hesitating for a moment, he took off his wet underwear and quickly changed into dry ones.

When the cool breeze blew on him, his fingers curled up a little. At this moment, he was naked, with only a screen between them. He actually stretched both feet into one of his trouser legs.

He hurriedly exited and put it on again, but in his haste, he accidentally bumped into the shelf, making a bang.

The girl's clear voice came: "Did you fall?"

"No, no, don't come over here! I, I can do it!" Feeling her approaching, Chu Jinxun's heart was about to jump out of his chest. He tried to stop her in a panic, his face flushed, his tongue tied, and he was anxious and panicked.

Fortunately, I finally wore it right this time.

He let out a long sigh and heard a chuckle.

There was a hint of teasing and mischief in the smile, and the voice was far away.

She didn't even come close. It turned out that she was trying to scare him on purpose.

So naughty!

Chu Jinxun was stunned, but not angry. Instead, the corners of his lips lifted unconsciously. Something warm rose quietly from the bottom of his heart, warm and delicate. He quickened his pace. At this moment, he was a little anxious because there were some things he wanted to say to her right away!
