Phoenix Duchess - C44

Dong Ling Wan didn’t even have time to say anything before Xiao Qian carried her into the inner hall and instructed, “Bring in hot water and medicine, and prepare a set of clean clothes.”

Xiao Qian placed Dong Ling Wan on the bed, and brought in the things needed for a bath. “Can you do it yourself?”

Dong Ling Wan slowly nodded her head, while Xiao Qian returned to her room. Immersed in the tub, Dong Lingwan still could not calm down. She hurriedly showered and then got up to put on her clothes.

When Xiao Qian came in with a warm towel and some medicine, Eastern Lingwan had already changed her clothes. He draped the black robe over her body. After taking a bath, a light fragrance wafted into his nose, calming Xiao Qian’s originally angry mood.

Xiao Qian used a hot towel to wipe her face clean. Dong Ling Wan let him fiddle around with her, but couldn’t help being a little stunned. Only when Xiao Qian melted the ointment and placed it on her face did she feel a slight pain. When her consciousness returned to the cage, she couldn’t help but frown.

“Does it hurt?” A hint of coldness flashed through Xiao Qian’s eyes, but when he saw that she was only staring at him, he asked, “Why aren’t you saying anything? Did I scare you?”

Xiao Qian’s wide hands were warm as he gently rubbed her face. In his eyes, there was a gentleness that he had never shown before. Dong Ling Wan couldn’t help but find it hard to adapt to.

Eastern Ling Wan gently shook her head, “No. They are bad people, and bad people don’t get good returns. ”

I’m just curious, you’re too kind to me.

She picked up a towel and helped him wipe the blood off his face bit by bit. Xiao Qian’s hand stopped moving and he lowered his head, but when he looked down, he saw that Dong Ling Wan had slightly lowered her eyes: “I’m also a bad person, I did all sorts of bad things. I really thought my retribution was here when the man came at me. ”

Her face was transparent as tears rolled down her face. Xiao Qian’s eyes darkened as he suddenly pulled her into his embrace, “It’s alright, don’t think about it anymore!”

Dong Ling Wan laid on his chest, holding onto Xiao Qian’s clothes as she began to cry. Xiao Qian didn’t try to persuade her anymore, allowing her tears to soak his clothes.

Xiao Qian waited for the person in his embrace to calm down before he straightened her body. Dong Ling Wan’s breathing was steady, making Xiao Qian think that she was tired from crying and had fallen asleep. However, when he looked at her, he realized that although she looked tired, her eyes were still hazy and she refused to go to sleep.

Dong Ling Wan’s eyes reddened as she looked at Xiao Qian. With a hoarse voice, she said, “My father …”

“I’ve already sent someone to investigate.” Xiao Qian slowly smoothed out her body and covered her with a blanket. “Alright, you’re tired too. You should get a good night’s sleep. Don’t be afraid, I’ll guard you.”

I’ll watch over you.

Dong Ling Wan was still somewhat muddleheaded, yet her heart had somehow calmed down after hearing the words “I’ll guard you”. She smiled, let out an inaudible “En” before closing her eyes and falling into a deep sleep.

Xiao Qian tucked her in and sat on the side of the bed. A trace of pity flashed across Xiao Qian’s eyes when he saw that her hand was tightly holding the quilt.

Eastern Ling Wan, perhaps you are still very wary of me, but I will guard you well.

Looking at her sleeping face, Xiao Qian chuckled. He gently opened her hand and placed it under the quilt. His actions were so gentle that it was unspeakable.

Not far away, Yang Qing looked at this abnormal scene and thought of the piles of corpses piled up outside the hall. He sank into deep thought …

The next day, when Dong Ling Wan woke up, she found Xiao Qian sleeping by her bedside. It was the same black robe from yesterday. The shirt was lacerated and stained with blood. His collarbone was faintly exposed, and the long and slender wound was already scabbed over.

The corners of Eastern Ling Wan’s eyes became wet. He had been guarding her since yesterday afternoon and hadn’t left ever since.

No, Xiao Qian, you shouldn’t have done this to me.

“Why are you crying?” By the time Dong Ling Wan had regained her senses, Xiao Qian was already awake and her hand was placed on the wound below his collarbone.

“I just woke up, and my eyes are dry and dry. It’s me ….”

Xiao Qian smiled, “It’s just a superficial wound. You must be hungry. Get up first. I’ll let them call you for breakfast. If you’re too hungry, you can eat it first. But don’t finish it before I come back.”

“Huh?” Eastern Ling Wan gaped. This was … To accompany her in her breakfast, or to ask her to accompany him in his breakfast?

“What, is it aggrieved to accompany my savior for breakfast?” Xiao Qian frowned. Eastern Ling Wan could only shake her head. Xiao Qian then added, “That’s it. I’ll go change my clothes first.”

Looking at Xiao Qian’s back, Dong Ling Wan let out a sigh. Washing, grooming, without a hairpin, Dong Ling Wan didn’t know how to tie a bun up. She was really in a difficult position, so she could only find a ribbon to tie her hair loose.

In the other room, Xiao Qian was just about to leave after changing his clothes, but he was stopped by Yang Zhe who was walking towards him. “Your Highness can’t stay here forever.”

“Once this matter is settled, I will naturally leave.”

“I can’t stop you from deciding. I just want to ask, how long do you want to take to deal with these things?”

Xiao Qian could understand Yang Zhe’s meaning. He was asking for “yes”, not “yes”.

It was undeniable that he wanted to be with her. How long did he want to stay with her?

“A show. Although I have my own selfish thoughts, I know what’s the most important thing right now. Do you think I’m someone who would mess up the whole situation?” After Xiao Qian said this, he walked past Yang Qing and left.

“You are Xiao Qian.” Yang Qing looked at his departing figure and said softly.

When you have love, you go crazy. You will, Xiao Qian. You will become crazy as long as it’s about Guan Dong Ling Wan.

When Xiao Qian walked in, Dong Ling Wan was holding a large dress as she moved towards the table. She felt like laughing when she saw Xiao Qian’s appearance.

Since they were in the mountains, they were far away from the market. Since she was temporarily unable to find clothes that fit her, she could only find a clean piece of clothing for her that didn’t fit her. However, the size of the clothes was a far cry from her figure.

In front of her forehead hung Liu Haili, her petite body was hung with a large robe, looking like a naughty child who had secretly worn the clothes of an adult. It seemed very out of place.

“Your Highness.” Dong Ling Wan had never been seen in such impolite attire by an outsider before, and she felt a bit embarrassed as she replied.

“I wonder who it was yesterday called ‘Xiao Qian’ and ‘Xiao Qian’. Why did they change their names today? Call me Xiao Qian! ” Xiao Qian laughed as he pulled her to a seat.

Dong Ling lowered her eyes and opened the lid of the cup to scoop up the porridge for Xiao Qian. “Yesterday, I spoke without thinking. I hope Your Highness won’t mind.”

Xiao Qian let out a sigh. He didn’t plan on forcing her. He just put one hand on the table and squinted at her. Dong Ling Wan raised her head and saw that Xiao Qian was enjoying the show.

It was unknown if it was because he hadn’t rested well last night, but the corners of his eyes drooped slightly. Adding to that, his head was propped up, and he wore a purple embroidered robe. It was noble, elegant, and lazy. This made Dong Ling Wan suspicious. Was this noble young master really the man who was like the Shura who took his life yesterday?

Xiao Qian took the bowl of porridge and slowly stirred it with a spoon. “These clothes are indeed large. I have already sent someone down the mountain to get you some new clothes. Do you want anything that you leave behind in the inn?”

“No need, there’s no need.” Dongling Wan shook her head, thinking to herself, “Get her new clothes?” Does this man have her size?

Xiao Qian nodded and continued, “There are no women in the military camp. There are no women in the Black Cloud Mountain. Can you come by yourself in the next few days?”

Dong Ling Wan raised her head. Was he planning to stay at Black Cloud Mountain for a while?
