Doomed to be Cannon Fodder

Truly feeling pain, she obeyed him and sat down, letting out a muffled groan due to the pain in her chest and her forehead.

Long Heng, “…” He wanted to reach out and support her, but she was already seated. She was only subconsciously placing her hand over her heart, brows knit tight.

“Go lie down,” He hadn’t thought that she was so gravely injured. He’d seen how ashen-faced she was when she sat down. How had she fallen and injured herself to this extent, unless it was that Miss Lin who caused her injuries? He momentarily felt unhappy within his heart, his brows slowly furrowing.

Bai Xiangxiu thought that the Prince was thinking of doing something to her; why else would he ask her to go lie down on the bed so early in the morning? But she had no choice either, what with how strong the other’s presence felt. Whatever he wanted to do today, she would just have to take it.

“This, this concubine is not tired.” She was a modern woman. Even if she had no choice, she wanted to try and fight a little to protect her chastity!

“Lie down,” Long Heng unconsciously used the tone that he used with his subordinates. He had once commanded a large army, but he seemed helpless in front of this little woman.

She was clearly already pained to the point of her face being bloodless, yet she still persisted in sitting there. He could not help but become irritated and chide her. However, seeing her tremble, he knew that she was just scared. This was still the first time he was seeing such a weak woman.

Her entire body trembling, Bai Xiangxiu realized that she would not be able to escape it. Before her eyes surfaced the image of the young girl who had been beaten to death, causing her to shudder involuntarily as she slowly lay down on that rather hard bed.

Noooooo, was this the prelude of her chastity being lost? She wanted to weep, closing her eyes aggrievedly for a long time before realizing that the other party had not made a move. Hesitantly opening her eyes, she discovered that Long Heng had not budged, sitting there with an upright posture and not even glancing towards her. She couldn’t help but lie there stunned, what does this mean?

Xiao Shi came in with tea not long after, accompanied by a doctor. This doctor was young, and Long Heng was secretly unhappy as soon as he saw him.

“Blindfold him,” He said in a low voice, and Xiao Shi took out a handkerchief to blindfold the young doctor. His Highness does indeed feel something towards mistress! He wouldn’t be so nervous otherwise! Although the doctor was young, he was still already over forty. Especially when considering that this was a temple, and the doctor a secular disciple of the temple, this degree of precaution was truly a bit too much.

Only then did Bai Xiangxiu realize that Long Heng had only asked her to lie down because she was injured. Also, he had called for a doctor, seemingly treating her quite well. It was just, well, what’s happened to the male lead? Is his conscience suddenly springing to life? As far as she remembered, he had never cared about the women in his harem, feeling that they were annoying and stifling. But the scenario up till now seemed to have changed completely. At the very least, this male lead was seriously deviating a little too much. But what exactly had she done wrong? She didn’t remember doing anything other than giving him a present?

After taking her pulse, that doctor said in a rather tremulous tone, “Your Highness, this mistress has suffered a collision, and I’m afraid that she had suffered some internal injuries, and needs to peacefully rest for a period of time. She won’t be able to perform any big movements, and cannot exert herself beyond her capabilities.”

“Give me your prescription!” He hadn’t thought that she was injured so badly, and as a general, how could he fail to understand that this was not an injury suffered from falling? It definitely had to do with something striking her chest.

After the doctor had given the prescription and left, Long Heng asked once more, “Tell me, how exactly were you injured?” How could someone fall so heavily in a temple? He really didn’t understand this.

“I really just fell by accident,” she continued to insist on that version.

“You…” Just what exactly was she not telling him the truth for? Long Heng walked around in circles, his anger emanating from him in waves. Bai Xiangxiu was scared into a cold sweat, and he actually turned to leave without even saying a word.
