A concubine? You're more like a joke. I'd rather send you to your death.

"Don't cry... I'm fine, quickly help me change into some clean clothes."

Bai Luoluo didn't want to say a word right now; in fact, she really wanted to cry.

"This servant will help Miss change her clothes."

Xiao Tao moved very gently, but because she was too weak, Bai Luoluo was in excruciating pain whenever she touched her.

After several attempts, it still didn't work.

"Miss, please bear with it for a little while. There are no maids in this mansion, so I can only help you change."

"it is good."

Bai Luoluo was extremely annoyed by the current situation.

When the doctor arrives, how will she face anyone?

Xiao Tao exerted force with her hand.

"what.........."

Bai Luoluo immediately cried out in surprise.

Gu Yanchi pushed the door open and entered. A gust of wind swept past him, and he was already at the edge of the bed, but his eyes were closed.

"Luo'er, what's wrong?"

Xiao Tao quickly grabbed a blanket and covered Bai Luoluo with it.

Seeing Gu Yanchi's eyes closed, Bai Luoluo wanted to say thank you.

Otherwise, she would be too ashamed to face anyone.

“Xiao Tao is too weak. I have a back injury, and it hurts a lot if I move too much. I can’t wear these clothes.”

Bai Luoluo's voice was low; she had never felt so embarrassed.

"Otherwise... I'll hold Luo'er while I wear it, don't worry, I'll keep my eyes closed the whole time."

Gu Yanchi was worried that the doctor would arrive soon, and that his current state was not a solution.

"Alright."

Bai Luoluo felt extremely embarrassed, but at this moment she had no other choice.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yanchi stepped forward and picked Bai Luoluo up in his arms.

"Xiao Tao, why don't you go help your young lady change her clothes?"

"Yes."

At this moment, Xiao Tao was utterly shocked.

The sensation under his hand made Gu Yanchi's heart pound uncontrollably.

Soon, the changing was completed smoothly.

Gu Yanchi placed her on the bed.

He slowly opened his eyes, looking at his swollen lips, and clenched his fists under his sleeves.

Bai Luoluo felt a little embarrassed when she saw his burning gaze.

An ambiguous atmosphere lingered between the two, and neither of them spoke for a moment.

At this moment, Leng Ye arrived with Doctor Li.

"This old servant greets Your Highness."

Doctor Li bowed slightly, showing respect.

"Dr. Li, the princess has a back injury. Is there any way to treat it?"

"If it's the spine, acupuncture is needed."

Dr. Li answered truthfully.

"Achi, just have Doctor Li give me a few acupuncture needles."

Bai Luoluo knew how to give injections, but she couldn't do it herself on her back.

“Your Highness, you mustn’t.” Doctor Li lowered his head. “The back is injured, and acupuncture requires the back to be exposed. How can this old servant overstep his bounds?”

In an instant, Bai Luoluo understood.

But without injections, she estimated she would need to stay in bed for a few days.

Furthermore, are there any ointments or similar medicated plasters available?

The effects of oral medication are not as fast as acupuncture, and most importantly, Chinese medicine is too unpleasant to drink, so she is resistant to it from the bottom of her heart.

"Luo'er, why don't you prescribe the medicine first?"

Gu Yanchi naturally didn't want others to see her back, so taking the medicine was the only option left.

"But I don't want to take medicine, it's too bitter."

Bai Luoluo protested, saying that a few injections would have been enough, so why did she have to take medicine?

"I can have someone prepare candied fruit for Luo'er, so it won't be so bitter."

So it turned out she was afraid of bitterness. Gu Yanchi looked at her resistant little expression and immediately found it very cute.

"I want to get acupuncture, why don't you let Xiaotao do it for me?"

Bai Luoluo didn't want to take the medicine and wanted Xiaotao to help her, but how could someone who had never studied medicine find the acupuncture points?

"Miss, this servant dares not."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tao, who was standing to the side, quickly refused.

If she accidentally hurts the young lady, she couldn't afford to pay for it even if she had ten heads.

“Xiao Tao hasn’t learned this skill, and if she inserts the needle incorrectly, it could harm her body. Luo’er, don’t be willful about this.” Gu Yanchi directly rejected her suggestion. “Doctor Li, go and prescribe the medicine.”

Bai Luoluo pouted, unable to find a rebuttal.

After all, one should not randomly insert needles into acupoints on the human body, and she knew that doing so was too risky.

Seeing Bai Luoluo's obedient appearance, yet also a little aggrieved, Gu Yanchi stared at her for a long time before realizing it was inappropriate and quickly looking away.

Leng Ye was quite tall, so he naturally noticed Bai Luoluo's swollen and red lips.

Oh my god... what did he miss!

Has Your Highness consummated your marriage with Your Highness?

this--

Leng Ye began to imagine all sorts of things, standing there motionless for a moment, already lost in her fantasies.

Seeing him standing there dumbfounded, Gu Yanchi frowned.

“Cold Night..”

Overthinking it, Leng Ye didn't react at all.

Seeing this, Xiao Tao reached out and pushed Leng Ye.

"Brother Ye, the Prince is calling you again."

Leng Ye snapped back to reality in an instant, "What are your orders, Your Highness?"

He immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at Gu Yanchi's slightly angry eyes.

"Go out and guard this place."

Seeing his reaction, Gu Yanchi didn't say anything more.

After all, no one knew that Leng Ye was imagining him and Bai Luoluo.

Upon hearing this, Leng Ye bowed slightly and fled as if escaping.

"Xiao Tao, go and make me a pot of tea."

Bai Luoluo said gently.

"Please wait a moment, Miss, I'll go right away."

After saying that, Xiao Tao quickly walked out.

"Achi, come here, let me take your pulse."

Seeing that his breathing was steady and his complexion was much rosier than before, Bai Luoluo wanted to confirm whether the Gu worms were truly asleep.

"it is good."

Gu Yanchi approached, half-squatting on the edge of the bed, and extended his wrist.

Bai Luoluo's fair fingers touched his pulse, carefully examining it.

A moment later, a hint of joy appeared on Bai Luoluo's serious face.

"Achi, the Gu worms are likely already dormant and won't wake up anytime soon."

"Thank you so much, Luo'er. I'm sorry, I..."

"Alright, the poison has taken effect and Achi has lost his mind. This is not your fault."

Bai Luoluo knew he didn't mean to hurt her, so she interrupted him.

"Luo'er..."

Gu Yanchi felt guilty.

He truly deserves to die; he actually hurt the person he loved most.

I don't know when I can get rid of the Gu worm's control.

He reached out and tidied up the stray hairs on Bai Luoluo's forehead.

The movements were gentle, and Bai Luoluo felt her heartstrings tremble slightly.

Could you please stop flirting with her? This man is sometimes far too gentle, which is completely inconsistent with the killing god of war in the book.

In fact, Gu Yanchi was only gentle with her; no one else would receive such treatment.

At this moment, Bai Luoluo seemed to have forgotten the scene of their first meeting.

“I can do it myself, Achi, there’s no need for that.”

Bai Luoluo couldn't stand it and turned her head to the side.

Upon seeing this, Gu Yanchi paused in his actions.

"I hurt Luo'er this time, and I will accept whatever punishment I am given. I just hope that Luo'er will not be afraid of me."

In the past, whenever he fell ill on the night of the full moon, he would bind himself with chains and imprison himself in the dungeon to prevent himself from losing control and harming innocent people.

He didn't want Bai Luoluo to be afraid of him or avoid him, and he knew he deserved to die.

Hearing the trembling and cautious voice in her ear, Bai Luoluo immediately turned her head.

"I'm not scared, I'm just not used to people getting too close."

Bai Luoluo looked at him, her eyes showing no fear whatsoever.

"Next time... I will lock myself in the dungeon and this will not happen again."

Gu Yanchi's eyes darted away as he spoke, because he didn't want Bai Luoluo to see him in such a disheveled state.

Hearing this, Bai Luoluo was somewhat taken aback.

Locked in the dungeon, this is how he spent those years.

Bai Luoluo could only imagine the despair and helplessness Gu Yanchi must have felt at that moment.
