"Ahhh..." Long Chuqing looked at the Soul-Locking Spell on her left hand and cried out angrily. The thought of having to start all over again made her unhappy. She had saved up enough to live a carefree life for hundreds of years, but now she was penniless.

She thought to herself, "Waaah... I don't want to try anymore, I just want to lie down, ahhh..."

Xiao Han was unaware of her inner thoughts. When she suddenly called out, and then stared blankly for a moment, and sighed for a moment, he felt confused and amused.

After a moment of silence, Long Chuqing came to the bedside with a worried look on her face and took his pulse. "Hmm, the situation has improved somewhat."

He noticed that the things she used to secure her feet were his calligraphy brushes and brush holders.

She noticed his gaze, followed it to her legs, and said casually, "I couldn't find anything particularly handy, so I'll borrow this."

For a long time, the room fell silent.

Without spiritual energy, you get hungry quickly.

"Hey... since I helped you detoxify, could you ask your buddies outside to get me some food? I haven't eaten for days and I'm starving."

She could sense someone outside, so she nudged his arm and asked.

This woman showed no fear or panic in the unfamiliar environment, remaining calm and composed in the face of adversity. Xiao Han was amazed by her composure and calmness, but also felt somewhat helpless.

She was half-sitting on the edge of the bed, and he was lying there. He could see her snow-white neck and collarbone, which were covered with pink spots, which he had left earlier. He glanced at them a few more times.

"Hey...can you do it or not? Give me an answer." Long Chuqing urged him, pushing his arm as he remained silent for a long time.

He slowly raised his gaze, looking into her eyes, but without a trace of emotion.

"Oh dear! Look at me, I forgot to seal your speech acupoint," Long Chuqing slapped his forehead, giving an embarrassed dry laugh.

He turned around and took out silver needles. "Let's make this clear first, you're not allowed to complain later that I immobilized you. If I find you saying anything unnecessary, I'll seal a few of your acupoints and leave you paralyzed in bed for the rest of your life."

She gave them a warning first, since they outnumbered her and she couldn't beat them for the time being.

"Tell them to make a midnight snack, and bring along a bottle of strong liquor. Also, tell them to prepare a bucket of hot water; I need to take a bath, you've covered me in this mess..."

Long Chuqing frowned as she spoke and glared at him.

Xiao Han: ... He stared at this woman with a black line on his forehead. He was usually calm and aloof, but now he wanted to curse.

"Blink if you agree."

Xiao Han coldly called out, "Bronze..."

Long Chuqing pointed the weapon at his face, smiling as she looked at him, making him dare not make a move.

Xiao Han stared at her, momentarily stunned. This woman's smile was so beautiful. No, he had just been about to curse her.

Looking at his silver needles again, he sighed inwardly, feeling utterly helpless.

A moment later, Qing Tong arrived at the door: "What are your orders, Master?"

Xiao Han snapped out of his thoughts and ordered, "Prepare a midnight snack, add a pot of strong liquor, and also prepare hot water; I want to take a bath."

Bronze responded, "Yes..."

After Qing Tong left, he happily told everyone, "The prince is alright now. He said he wants a midnight snack and a hot bath! I'll go and give the orders."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Doctor Yuan stroked his beard, pondering, "It's faster than I expected. Such a strong medicine, this can't be!"

"Don't worry, I won't let them in. Can you remove your needles now?" Xiao Han sighed and said helplessly.

Seeing that he really didn't intend to call for help, Long Chuqing put away the needle in her hand.

After carefully placing the silver needles, she thought it over. She couldn't keep threatening him with the needles forever; they still needed to get out of here! So she tried to communicate with him calmly.

"Hey, look, we have no grudges against each other, I pose no threat to you, and I even helped you. Let's just wipe the slate clean of our previous unpleasantness."

Xiao Han thought about it and realized it was true. Besides, he was currently unable to move and was being controlled by her: "Deal, then can you release my immobilization acupoints?"

"No rush, look, you still have acupuncture needles in your eye! It's not good to move around too much later," Long Chuqing said with a sly smile.

Seeing her smirking, Xiao Han guessed that she was probably afraid he would take action!

Hot water was brought over shortly afterward, and Long Chuqing went to the side to wash up.

At that moment, Qingying also brought the food. He looked around inside and then over there. He heard the sound of water over there and wondered if it was the prince or Miss Qian washing up, and whether Miss Qian had woken up yet.

He had indeed been worried about one thing, and felt a little ashamed. The girl was still unconscious, yet he had sent her to the prince's bed. What if something happened? His conscience was constantly on edge.

"Sir, the midnight snack has arrived. I'll leave it outside for you," he said before leaving.

After Long Chuqing finished washing up, she saw food laid out on the table in the living room.

She hopped into the inner room with her legs bent, a rather comical movement that seemed completely out of place with her appearance.

"Hey, do you have a dry towel? I want to dry my hair,"

She washed her hair, and her wet hair was simply tied up with a hairpin. Water kept dripping from the ends of her hair. She had just come out of the bath, and her cheeks were rosy. She looked extremely beautiful.

Xiao Han looked her up and down curiously: "You're quite unceremonious, very comfortable."

Long Chuqing raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly: "Since we're here, let's make the best of it!"

Xiao Han couldn't do anything about her. "The second shelf on the left of the cabinet there," he gestured with his eyes towards the cabinet.

Long Chuqing skipped over, rummaged through the wardrobe, took a towel to dry her hair, ran her fingers through it, and then let it hang to dry.

After she finished, she said to Xiao Han on the bed, "I'm going to eat something first, you can just lie there!" Then she was about to jump out.

"Wait a minute," Xiao Han called out to her.

Long Chuqing, leaning on the table, asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Release my pressure points, I'm hungry, I need to eat."

Long Chuqing glanced at him, thought for a moment, and said, "No, you haven't had your needles removed yet."

She thought to herself, "No, I can't let him go. If he makes a move, this lame man won't be able to escape."

Xiao Han knew what she was worried about—she was afraid he would retaliate against her later! "Then come and see. I feel much better. Don't worry, you helped me, I won't do anything to you."

Long Chuqing pondered for a moment, then reluctantly said, "This is really troublesome."

I walked over on one foot and sat down by the bed to take his pulse. "It's indeed stable to an ideal level, but after you eat your fill, you'll need to have your pulse checked again."

Seeing his questioning expression, Long Chuqing explained seriously, "Because you have been using your internal energy to suppress the medicinal properties, the internal dryness has rushed into your dantian. If you don't expel it all in time, your ability to raise your internal energy will be limited in the future."

She scratched her forehead, slightly embarrassed, and said, "And also, I just gave you a needle prick there! If the acupoint isn't opened, it might not be able to get up again."

"If you don't believe me, you'll find out when you try it."

Hearing her say that, Xiao Han smiled wryly and said, "You're saying all this because you're afraid I'll retaliate against you, aren't you?"

Even if it were true, I can't admit it! Long Chuqing laughed awkwardly twice: "Haha...nothing like that, didn't we just talk about it?"

She skillfully removed the silver needles from his body and released his acupoints.

After she put away the silver needles, he had already quickly put on his clothes.

She was about to hop out to eat when she was suddenly picked up in mid-air. Caught off guard, she instinctively reached out to grab him.

Xiao Han glanced at her and said indifferently, "You jumped really ugly." Then he carried her out of the room.

Long Chuqing grabbed him, glanced at him, and thought to herself, "You try being lame and see how much better you look than me."
