But since her lover was putting on such an effort, she naturally had to try her best to cooperate.
So, Gu Shengyin frowned, showing a very disdainful expression, and said to Long Xiao: "Take off your clothes and let see."
Long Xiao thought to himself, as expected, but outwardly he feigned so difficulty and reluctance.
Then Gu Shengyin took on a more arrogant posture: "I order you to take off your clothes! Otherwise, get out of here imdiately!"
Under the "coercion" of the cold Her Highness the Eldest Princess, Long Xiao had no choice but to reach for his belt.
As he moved, he said sowhat helplessly, "Her Highness the Eldest Princess, you are the first woman to see my body."
Gu Shengyin: "..." Addicted to it!
She pretended not to hear those words.
But when Long Xiao revealed the wound on his body, Gu Shengyin gasped.
This was not acting; it was a natural surprise.
She saw a long wound reaching several inches from the side of Long Xiao’s honey-colored, lean waist and abdon, slanting upwards towards the heart.
The wound was so deep that Gu Shengyin could even see the red, exposed flesh inside. The edges of the wound had already started to blacken, clearly because it had not received effective treatnt for a long ti and had started to beco ulcerated and inflad.
It was remarkable that he could endure it!
Gu Shengyin rembered how, at first, this man had threatened her with calm and composure; no one could have guessed this was a seriously injured man.
And... he had even been soaked in water!
Gu Shengyin, sowhat annoyed, looked up, eting Long Xiao’s gaze.
Long Xiao saw her eyes reddening, thinking she was frightened by him.
Of course, a princess pampered in the depths of the palace, how could she have seen such a terrifying wound?
He apologetically covered the wound with his robe and said to Gu Shengyin, "Did I frighten Her Highness the Eldest Princess? I swear, I an you no harm. Once the pursuers leave, I will imdiately leave this traveling palace."
Gu Shengyin just glared at him, then turned around expressionlessly and left.
Long Xiao was helpless; what was happening?
She seed very angry, yet she didn’t call anyone over.
His original plan was to use forceful ans to coerce Her Highness the Eldest Princess into sheltering him for a few days, but after eting her, he found that his heart, usually hard as iron, couldn’t bring itself to act.
Yes, he couldn’t bring himself to act.
He couldn’t bear to resort to any coercion or threats against this woman.
He had heard stories of beauties leading heroes to their tombs before, but had always scoffed at them.
He always believed that a man should focus on great achievents, and matters of romance were just trivial.
But rationality told him that subduing this woman was in his interest, yet he only watched as she walked out of the hall.
Maybe the next mont, he’ll be surrounded and killed by the guards of this traveling palace.
It must be because the wound’s inflammation muddled his mind. Long Xiao mused bitterly, he had done sothing so irrational.
He no longer had the strength to leave here.
His body kept burning, and only the piercing pain from the wound could barely keep him slightly conscious.
Leave it to fate.
He thought with a bitter smile.
Vaguely, a warm, peach blossom-scented figure approached him.
Long Xiao struggled to open his eyes and saw the person, who had left and returned, half-crouching in front of him, seemingly holding sothing.
"Consider yourself lucky, I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll save your life." A cold female voice rang in his ears.
