Chapter 165 A Feeling of Being Caught in the Act
He could allow Shen Sangwan to hit him, but he couldn't retaliate.
"If you don't tell me, I'll throw you in that pool and let you soak all night."
【Hey—Master, this is child abuse!】
"You're not human, so you don't count. If you don't like how you look now, I'll DIY a new, ugly adult man for you and then throw you in there. See how considerate I am?"
[Hehehe—so thoughtful, so incredibly thoughtful.]
Xiao Tong forced a laugh and tried to twist her body to escape, but Shen Sangwan held her down tightly.
[My lord, it was all the Empress's fault...she threatened me, yes, it was all the Empress's fault. I'm actually on your side, my lord!]
Xiao Tong said "yes" several times, and Shen Sangwan guessed that this guy was lying. He was repeating a word just to bolster his courage.
Oh—? Really?
[It was the Empress who forced me. She said if I didn't help her, she would make you, Your Majesty, find ways to torment me every day. I... was scared, so...]
[Waaah, Master, this isn't my fault! You always obey the Empress's every word. If she really spoke up, I wouldn't have been able to escape.]
Xiaotong's words were so pitiful, with snot and tears streaming down her face, perfectly expressing her helplessness.
If Shen Sangwan hadn't known that Xiao Tong had previously made a bet between her and the main system, she would have genuinely believed what Xiao Tong was saying now.
"It's windy at night. If Your Highness stays up there in the wind for too long, you'll have a headache tomorrow."
Emma——
Startled by the sudden sound, Shen Sangwan immediately flipped over the high wall.
Wen Yuening didn't expect that her words would frighten Shen Sangwan.
He leaped up and caught the rapidly falling body.
"boom--!"
The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground was accompanied by Wen Yuening's muffled groan.
There were pebbles on the ground; his back must have been scraped and bleeding.
"Are you...are you alright? I didn't mean to, you just appeared out of nowhere, I..."
"Your Highness, why don't you get up from Yue Ning first?"
"Oh! Okay."
Shen Sangwan hurriedly got up and then went to help Wen Yue Ning, who was lying on the ground.
"Are you hurt? I think I heard you call out softly just now."
"It should just be a minor scrape, nothing serious."
Seeing that Shen Sang was about to grab her, Wen Yue Ning quickly raised her hand to stop her.
"That won't do. Come on, let's go to the side hall. Take off your clothes so I can take a look. If the injury is serious, we need to apply medicine immediately."
As she spoke, Shen Sangwan pulled Wen Yuening toward the side hall.
Because she was focused on the injury on her back, she didn't notice the smug smile on Wen Yuening's face.
"Your Highness, Yue Ning can do it herself."
That makes it sound like I'm in a huge rush to do something.
Wen Yuening slowly unbuckled her belt, took off her outer garment, and then unbuttoned her undergarment.
Her movements were exceptionally alluring, and Shen Sangwan found it hard not to suspect that Wen Yuening was deliberately seducing her.
After her fair skin was exposed, Shen Sangwan couldn't help but swallow several times.
This skin looks so soft and smooth!
"If Your Highness wishes—"
"What are you thinking about? I'm not thinking!"
Shen Sangwan interrupted Wen Yuening first, then pulled down the small clothes. The skin in the middle of her back had been scratched, but fortunately the clothes cushioned the wound, so it wasn't too serious.
"Don't move. Where's the ointment you put on me earlier? Let me put some on for you."
"It seems to have been placed on that table in the main hall."
This put Shen Sangwan in a bit of a dilemma. She couldn't very well disturb Xiao Yan Yan's rest at this time!
"Your Highness, Yue Ning's injury is nothing serious. It will heal on its own in a couple of days without any medicine."
"Your skin is broken and bleeding. If it's not treated properly, it might leave a scar. Girls love to look beautiful, so you absolutely can't have a scar."
Shen Sangwan went to the dressing table next to her to look for any ointments to apply to external injuries.
"Hey, there actually is one."
When they turned to the last box, they found a bottle of ointment for treating external injuries.
I grabbed a piece of wood. (It's a tool for scooping out medicinal ointment, a local dialect term.)
Shen Sangwan first took some ointment and applied it to her palm, then gently applied the ointment to the area around the wound with the pad of her right hand.
"If I hurt you, just let out a sound, and I'll try to be gentle."
The application was done very carefully, and the other person did not move or make a sound throughout the entire process.
"All right."
After applying all the medicine to her palm, Shen Sangwan gestured for the other person to put on their clothes.
But Wen Yue Ning acted as if she hadn't heard anything and remained sitting blankly in her chair.
"Ah Ning, you're done applying it."
Shen Sangwan spoke up again to remind her.
"Yue Ning is already injured, does Your Highness still want to send her away?"
"Hey—wait, didn't we agree on this during the day? Why are you changing your mind now? Even the weather forecast isn't as fickle as you."
"Then you sleep here, I'll go somewhere else."
"Your Highness~ would you please stay with Yue Ning for a while? I promise I'll just stay close to you and won't do anything inappropriate."
Shen Sangwan pursed her lips, narrowed her eyes, and gave Wen Yuening a look that said, "Do you think I believe you?"
"Is Your Highness starting to dislike Yue Ning? Yue Ning knew it... In that case, I'll just go back to Fengluan Palace!"
Her tone was like that of a young wife who had been abandoned, which made Shen Sangwan's heart soften a little.
"I'll trust you one last time. We're both injured, so don't do anything reckless."
Upon hearing Shen Sangwan agree, Wen Yuening immediately changed her expression and eagerly grabbed Shen Sangwan's arm.
"Yue Ning knew that His Highness would not want Yue Ning to be alone."
"Alright, alright, I've been busy all day, time to sleep."
Shen Sangwan pushed the person to the bedside, "You sleep on the inside."
"it is good."
Seeing the other party agree so readily for the first time made Shen Sangwan a little curious. Had they really changed their minds?
If Wen Yuening hadn't injured her back, she probably wouldn't have been so well-behaved. Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes, and things are unpredictable.
Now all she can do is obediently hold Shen Sangwan and sleep soundly.
This was the most peaceful night Shen Sangwan had ever slept in, sharing a bed with him.
There were no messy dreams, and no Wen Yue Ning causing trouble.
This made her lower her perception of Wen Yuening's dangerousness.
Only Xiaotong silently mourned for her master.
They are still too young and do not understand the wickedness of human nature.
The next day, after getting out of bed, they applied medicine to each other's backs before going out.
After a night's rest, Cen Yan's energy had recovered somewhat. Just as Shen Sangwan and Wen Yuening were leaving the side hall, Cen Yan also came out, wanting to get some fresh air.
Good morning!
"well!"
For some reason, when Shen Sangwan saw Cen Yan catch her with Wen Yuening, she had the illusion that she had been caught in the act, to the point that she could hardly speak properly.
Wen Yuening, however, naturally stepped forward to greet her, "Is the Princess feeling any better?"
"After taking Her Majesty the Empress's pills, I feel refreshed and comfortable. I thank Her Majesty again."
