Gu Ruxue was no longer calm. Her face turned even paler. She pinched her wounded hand and the blood was still leaking, yet the phenomenon was no longer there.
Now the Lord was suspecting her!
How could that be possible?
Gu Ruxue was panicking inwardly and her head was spinning. It was beyond her expectation! However, whatever the case was, it was her wedding day and nothing should go wrong. She was not going to survive at all!
The only reason why the Lord was treating her like this, was because she was the Phoenix Girl. As long as she could prove that she was the Phoenix Girl, then everything would go smoothly!
Gu Ruxue kept thinking and trying to get more blood out of herself, but nothing was happening in the sky at all.
After thinking for a long while, Gu Ruxue said timidly, “Lord, I am on my period, I have been feeling really unwell after the long day, can I lie down on the bed?”
Zhou Huailing, who had shown his suspicion on his face, had a change of expression after hearing what she said.
Then he looked outside the window and saw nothing happening... Could it be... Could it be that the Phoenix Girl’s blood would not work when she was on her period, so the birds could not tell what the blood was.
If that was real, then it all made sense.
He could be sure that Gu Ruxue was the Phoenix Girl, because he saw the strange phenomenon the other day and he could not have been wrong.
That made Zhou Huailing feel less annoyed.
True... He should not have given Gu Ruxue’s past with any other men too much consideration. He married her only because she was the Phoenix Girl. He had way too many girls with him, and Gu Ruxue had her use as one of his women.
As he thought through the whole thing, Zhou Huailing suddenly became more gentle.
He took hold of Gu Ruxue’s hand and asked concernedly, “Look at your wounded hand, does it hurt?”
Gu Ruxue let out a sigh of relief, expression still stiff.
She came back to herself after a long while, and shook her head. “No, no, it doesn’t hurt that much.”
“Someone!” Zhou Huailing shouted.
A while later, some servants walked in one after another. “Yes? Lord and Equal Princess Consort?”
“e and help her wrap up, she got injured accidentally.” Zhou Huailing said as he sat down and drank the tea next to them.
Normally, doctors should be asked to deal with the wounded masters and mistresses, but it was a wedding day and Zhou Huailing did not want to cause any trouble. So he just asked the servants to do the work and finish it as soon as possible.
Gu Ruxue did not dare to say anything more. She was already very satisfied since someone was helping her deal with the wound.
It was some blood-stopping cream and it was the servants of the Lord Ling’s Mansion who were doing the work. So she had to tolerate all the pain when the cream was dabbed.
After the hand was wrapped, Gu Ruxue already became quite pale.
Zhou Huailing did not notice that. After the servants were gone, he said gently, “Ruxue, you are wounded and on your period too, you must be very tired, go and have some rest now.”
Gu Ruxue nodded bashfully.
Although she could not do anything when she was on her period, she was still very anxious when she had to lie next to the Lord.
After removing the ornaments and outer blouse, Gu Ruxue laid down.
Seeing her lying in bed, Zhou Huailing started to walk out of the room.
Gu Ruxue was startled. “Where are you going, Lord?!”
