[“With this kind of performance, he should have some favorable impression of me, right?”]
[“Heartbeat Value, oh Heartbeat Value, please skyrocket!”]
[“Wouldn’t it be great to become an instant hit? Don’t stay green all the time, sister here is really sad.”]
The three brothers looked at her with complicated expressions.
Chi Yanbei was so angry it made his liver ache.
Seventh Brother was protecting this vicious woman so much, but she was completely two-faced!
“Husband, I did a quick divination and knew you would have a bloody calamity today, so I brought hemostatic medicine and bandages. Aren’t I clever?” After saying this, Liang Chuying quickly sprinkled medicine on his wound to stop the bleeding, then took out the bandage and wrapped up Chi Yanzhou’s injury in a few swift moves, even tying it into a bow. It looked quite unique.
But that was the hand of the mighty God of War, after all, and it had a bow tied on it!
No matter how you looked at it, it seemed strange.
Both Chi Yanbei and Chi Yanning thought he would definitely tear it off.
To their great surprise, Chi Yanzhou only gave it a brief glance and took no action!
Chi Yanning was overjoyed—could it be that Seventh Brother had fallen for Seventh Sister-in-Law?
But Seventh Brother was such a blockhead; aside from fighting and killing all day, what did he know about matters of the heart?
“Husband, let me blow on it for you, and it won’t hurt anymore.” After saying this, Liang Chuying blew on it again.
“Husband, hurry up and praise me. Am I not amazing?”
Liang Chuying looked at him expectantly.
[“Damn it, this lady’s face is about to go stiff from all this acting!”]
[“This big blockhead doesn’t even show a hint of appreciation!”]
[“I really want to cripple his hand!”]
[“Dagua, has the Heartbeat Value skyrocketed even a little?”]
[“Big Sis, unfortunately, it hasn’t.”]
[“Damn it, I shouldn’t have bandaged him. Can I find an excuse to take it off now and dislocate his hand while I’m at it?”]
[“Big Sis, if you don’t want to die, you can certainly do that.”]
Chi Yanning couldn’t hold back and secretly turned around to laugh.
Chi Yanzhou gave her another complicated look, then stiffly said, “Unnecessary.”
When he was on the battlefield, his chest was slashed open in many places, and he didn’t even treat those.
It was just a few drops of blood.
Look at her making such a fuss!
Clearly unwilling, yet still putting on an act here.
So pretentious.
[“I knew this dog of a man wouldn’t appreciate it.”]
[“Dagua, I wasted my acting skills bandaging him for nothing. I regret it so much.”]
[“Dagua, I’ll find a way to pull off his bandage later!”]
Chi Yanzhou moved his injured hand behind his back.
Want to pull it off?
No way.
“Prince Rui, it’s terrible. Miss Duan is bleeding too much, and we can’t stop it.”
Just then, a medical maid rushed out in a panic.
Hearing this, the group immediately scrambled into the room.
They saw Duan Qingli lying on the bed, her breath as faint as a thread.
The sheets beneath her were completely soaked in blood, and even the quilt was covered in it.
Chi Yanning had never seen so much blood before and was on the verge of fainting.
She asked weakly, “Second Brother, with Miss Duan in this state, could she really be dying?”
Chi Yanbei grew frantic: “Nonsense! Without my permission, no one can take her life.”
Chi Yanzhou frowned: “Has the imperial physician been summoned?”
“They’ve already rushed to fetch him on horseback.”
[“Tsk tsk, this little green tea’s acting skills are truly top-notch! If I didn’t have the Gossip System, I’d really believe it. Did she use up all the dog blood?”]
【These people are really foolish enough not to tell human blood from dog blood? But it’s not entirely their fault—the room is dimly lit, making it hard to see clearly, and with the incense burning, the smell is completely masked.】
【And this medical maid has clearly been bribed by Duan Qingli.】
【Poor cannon fodder Chi Yanbei is about to be utterly ruined by this so-called “auspicious wedding.” Duan Qingli smoothly marries into Rui Wang Fu, and every day when Chi Yanbei goes to court, she spends time with her lover in their big bed, tsk tsk, how thrilling. Can’t bear to watch anymore, Dagua, let’s move on—it’s too filthy for the eyes.】
“Wuwu, Your Highness, could it be that Li’er is going to die?” Duan Qingli’s face was deathly pale as she tearfully looked at the newcomer.
Chi Yanbei grasped her hand: “No, I won’t allow you to die.”
The medical maid said: “Your Highness, Miss Duan’s condition is extremely critical. Medicine is no longer effective for her. Right now, we could try an auspicious wedding—perhaps once the wedding takes place, Miss Duan will recover.”
As soon as the medical maid spoke, all three siblings turned to look at her.
Could it be that this medical maid really had been bribed by Duan Qingli?
【Tsk tsk, the medical maid is starting to act alongside the little green tea. Chi Yanbei’s tragic fate is about to begin! I’ll come watch his misfortune every day from now on—serves him right for being so foolish!】
Chi Yanbei touched the blood on the bed with his hand and brought it to his nose to smell.
It was indeed dog blood!
Chi Yanbei abruptly released Duan Qingli—he was furious!
“Your Highness, Li’er is in so much pain!”
Seeing him suddenly turn cold, Duan Qingli began her act again.
Chi Yanbei gritted his teeth and said: “Li’er, this is dog blood, isn’t it?”
Huh?
Has she been exposed?
That can’t be!
Isn’t Prince Rui supposed to be easy to fool?
He’s usually impulsive—normally, she could make up any excuse, and he wouldn’t bother to check carefully.
This trick had always worked before, so why did it fail today?
Chi Yanzhou said calmly: “Miss Duan, what skillful tactics. This room is full of dog blood, with no trace of human blood. I wonder what act this is? Forcing a marriage?”
As soon as the God of War spoke, the medical maid immediately knelt in fear: “Your Highnesses, this matter has nothing to do with this servant. It was Miss Duan who begged me pitifully. I saw her distress and agreed to lie for her. After all, if a young woman is pregnant and cannot marry in time, she will be ridiculed by others.”
Seeing her lie exposed, Duan Qingli could no longer keep up the act. She quickly climbed out of bed and knelt with a thud before Chi Yanbei.
“Your Highness, it was all Li’er’s momentary foolishness. Because Li’er comes from a poor family, Li’er was afraid you would look down on me, so I resorted to this trick. All the fault is Li’er’s. But everything Li’er did was because I didn’t want to lose you! And our child—you wouldn’t want our child to be pointed at and gossiped about by everyone, would you?”
【Oh ho, the little green tea has crashed and burned, hasn’t she? Chi Yanbei is so foolish—does he really think this green tea loves him? Stupid, dumb! The gifts he gave her, she immediately took to a secondhand shop to pawn, using the money for her lover.】
Chi Yanbei felt a sour taste in his heart.
He had always believed Duan Qingli loved him and had felt guilty about that night’s incident.
He had planned to explain the matter to his father in the next few days and marry her into the manor, but he never expected her to use the child as leverage.
This disappointed him deeply.
He had been so worried about her just now, only to find out it was all an act.
At that moment, the guard Changfeng came to report: “Your Highness, Imperial Physician Liu has arrived.”
Chi Yanbei: “Quickly, let her in.”
Duan Qingli cried: “Your Highness, it’s Li’er’s fault, Li’er deceived you, Li’er is fine, Li’er is truly fine!”
Chi Yanbei: “Whether you’re fine or not is for Imperial Physician Liu to decide. As for you—”
He glanced coldly at the medical maid, “Get out. If you dare appear before me again, you will be executed without mercy!”
The medical maid trembled in fear, quickly kowtowed, and fled for her life.
This job was far too dangerous.
This Miss Duan had promised it would be foolproof.
What a terrible loss.
