Chapter 226 High-Ranking Regent × Frail Orphan Girl 3
Peach Blossom Village
Chu Yue took Qi Yuan back down the mountain to recuperate.
Qi Yuan's injury was nothing serious, especially since Chu Yue had used a prop. However, Qi Yuan wanted to stay, and Chu Yue didn't say anything, but she was very worried about him and changed his dressings every day.
At night, Chu Qiao frowned as she looked at the man who was occupying the bed and refusing to leave, feeling slightly angry.
"Yue'er, come here." Qi Yuan called out in a deep voice. She was already his, and he would marry her in the future. What was wrong with being in the same room now?
Chu Yue hesitated, even though she had already prepared the room next door for him to stay in.
"Your injury hasn't healed yet..."
Qi Yuan was so angry he laughed. He'd gotten bolder avoiding her like this.
"Come here, Moon, I don't want to say it again." The aura of the person in a superior position compels one to submit.
Chu Yue's face paled slightly as she shuffled over.
Qi Yuan grabbed her and pulled her into his arms: "Why are you hiding? Hmm?"
Chu Yue shrank back, "No...you're injured..."
"I'm fine now." Qi Yuan didn't want to say more. Thinking about how he felt that night, he felt restless, and he also wanted to prove whether he was really healed.
He lowered his head and kissed her rosy lips, forcefully holding her in his arms. Qi Yuan became more and more excited. He was now awake, and the feeling below him was right. He was really healed.
"Yue'er, I will be good to you," Qi Yuan breathed excitedly, tearing open Chu Yue's clothes and domineeringly leaning down.
"don't want……"
"Call me 'husband' and let me hear it..."
"..."
Chu Yue was unable to resist and was exhausted from the ordeal.
……
Late at night, after Qi Yuan had fallen asleep contentedly, Chu Yue slowly opened her eyes.
"Yueyue, I can finally see you! How is it? Are you satisfied?"
001 was blocked for a long time before it was released.
"good,"
"Hehe, I'm incredibly good to you." 001 shyly covered her mouth with her wing.
"Alright, I'll say it again. Don't deduct points from my account for things like fertility pills, or I'll go on strike."
Chu Yue pouted and said.
"Don't worry, you won't lose a single point, and there will be a reward after you finish."
"Alright, take a fertility pill, let's finish the mission first."
After giving her the fertility pill, 001 hid inside the system.
Chu Yue nestled back into Qi Yuan's arms, thinking she might not be able to handle it, but her fighting power was surprisingly good.
Qi Yuan unconsciously pulled the person closer to his arms.
……
During his recovery period, Qi Yuan did not return to the military camp, but he had already contacted the people he needed to contact.
He already knew the situation in the palace and the military camp very well, but the emperor's condition was still not optimistic, and he was being kept alive by medication every day.
The crown prince was young and had no children, so the collateral branches of the Qi family began to stir.
That position is coveted by everyone, and everyone dreams of obtaining it.
After giving instructions to his guards, Qi Yuan realized that Chu Yue had not yet returned.
He only contacted the person in the shadows after Chu Yue went out to gather herbs. He didn't want to tell Chu Yue his identity yet, for fear of scaring her.
Despite her seemingly timid nature, she's actually quite brave when she goes out alone.
As night fell, Qi Yuan's heart sank. Countless possibilities flashed through his mind, and he anxiously went out to look for someone.
Following the route Chu Yue usually took to gather herbs, they wondered if Chu Yue had gone to her usual resting place again.
He hadn't gone far when Qi Yuan witnessed a scene that made his eyes widen in horror: Chu Yue was running forward in a panic, with people closing in from behind.
The prince immediately understood that these people were after him; one assassination attempt wasn't enough, so they had come all the way here.
And with Yue'er's appearance, he dared not imagine what would have happened to her if he had arrived even a little later!
"Moon!"
"Husband, save me..." Chu Yue staggered and almost fell, her voice trembling with helplessness.
Qi Yuan flew over, caught Chu Yue, quickly put her on the ground, then snatched the sword from the man's hand. With a swift stroke, all of them died.
"Yue'er, how are you?" Qi Yuan hugged Chu Yue and asked softly.
Chu Yue was terrified, tears streaming down her face: "Husband, who...who are they? Why...want to kill me?"
"Moon, I'll explain this to you later. I'll take you back first."
Qi Yuan wanted to calm her down before explaining to her.
"Your Highness, I am late," a guard rushed over to apologize. "Your Highness, please forgive me. What should we do with these people?"
Qi Yuan didn't have time to stop them. These people didn't even need the guards to take action; he could handle them on his own. These people were so clueless.
He looked down at Chu Yue's reaction. Chu Yue's eyes widened, filled with fear and helplessness, her lips trembling: "You are..."
"Moon, I didn't tell you because I was afraid it would scare you. Let's go back first, and I'll tell you slowly, okay?"
Qi Yuan was somewhat worried about her.
Chu Yue's face was covered in tears, and she was trembling uncontrollably. She hadn't recovered from the shock when she was frightened by Qi Yuan's identity.
The guard then realized he had caused trouble. Qi Yuan gave him a look, then carried Chu Yue away.
The prince would surely punish him, but the guards, still furious, stabbed each of them a few more times before throwing them off the cliff.
Qi Yuan carried Chu Yue to the bed, then took a handkerchief, wet it, and wiped her face.
Chu Yue trembled slightly as she backed away, showing some resistance.
Qi Yuan's expression darkened slightly, but remembering that he had concealed the truth first, he lowered his voice and said, "Yue'er, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I was just afraid of scaring you. I originally wanted to tell you after everything was settled."
"You are... a prince, why..." Chu Yue was heartbroken as to why he had lied to her.
"Moon, I was being chased and shot with an arrow. You saved me. These are all facts. I just didn't tell you my identity. Please don't overthink it, okay?"
Qi Yuan patiently explained.
Chu Yue remained silent, her body enveloped in an aura of sorrow.
"Moon..."
"You are a prince... I am just an orphan, why..."
He was a high-ranking prince, while she was just a commoner.
"Moon, you are already mine. Do you still want to have wild thoughts?" Qi Yuan said again in a deep voice, "No matter what my identity is, it won't change the fact that you didn't tell my wife."
Chu Yue didn't believe it and said sadly, "You are a prince, how could you not have a wife? I... am not worthy of you..."
Qi Yuan was so angry that she had a headache. She seemed weak, but she was so stubborn.
"Except for not telling you my identity, I haven't lied to you about anything else. I'll say it again, I have no wives or concubines, only you."
Chu Yue didn't know what to do. She couldn't understand why the high and mighty prince would take a liking to an orphan like her.
Or is it just something new and exciting, something you'll discard and abandon once you've had your fill of fooling her?
"Moon, don't think too much, okay? You've been frightened. Now get some sleep. I'll stay here with you."
Qi Yuan was helpless against her; this was his tribulation. Although he was ambushed, meeting Yue'er made it all worthwhile.
Chu Yue remained silent, lying down quietly with her eyes closed.
Qi Yuan had no choice but to stay with her to prevent her from overthinking.
