The Hickey of the Demon Lord: The Substitute Princess

Chapter 216

Thinking of this, her fragrant lips rose slightly, with a sense of contentment.

Pushing open the door, Su Min walked in with the medicinal soup. Nan Gongzheng had already stood up, neatly dressed, standing by the desk, casually flipping through the top account book.

As soon as he saw her enter the room, he raised his handsome face and looked at her, then his gaze fell to the bowl of black concoction in her hand.

"Didn't you mean a small injury? Do you want to continue taking medicine?"

He mistakenly thought it was the medicine Su Min took, he frowned slightly, walked to her side, and asked a question with concern.

Su Min smiled sweetly, brought the medicine bowl to his face, and said softly. "It's not mine, it's what you want to drink."

"What?" He was displeased, and his thick eyebrows were deeply frowned. The medicinal soup was not only ugly, but also revealed a strong bitter and fishy smell, which made him uninterested.

Su Min put the medicine on the table, pressed down on his body, let him sit by the table, stabilized his emotions, and spoke softly. "I asked Grandpa to help you write a folk prescription, try to cure your headache."

"There are so many imperial doctors who are helpless, don't waste your efforts." Nangong Zheng glanced at the medicinal soup, and refused with one sentence.

Su Min looked at him with a smile, overcoming rigidity with softness. "Could it be that he made an excuse because he saw that the soup tasted bad?"

"It's useless, I've said it a long time ago." He was as stubborn as ever, and he began to suffer from illness when he was 15 years old. He suffered from severe headaches, but there was nothing he could do.Over the years, his body has endured many difficult days and nights, and he has little hope.

Su Min's expression softened, she smiled, and said sincerely, she told herself that she must convince Nangong Zheng. "I believe in Grandpa's medical skills, and I also believe that he will not harm you."

"You made it for me yourself?" After a brief silence, he suddenly thought of something, looked at her, and asked with raised eyebrows.

Su Min sighed softly, her interest in speaking faded, and there was a faint sense of loss between her brows and eyes.Although not obvious, it has already affected Nangong Zheng. "It's been more than half an hour, and you don't want to drink anyway, so forget it."

"Forget it, I'll drink it once today." Nan Gongzheng couldn't continue to confront Su Min, and he knew that she cared about him, so he picked up the unpleasant medicinal soup, treated it as fine wine, and drank it down in one gulp.

Su Min took the empty bowl from his hand, her eyes flashed, her smile deepened, and she instructed earnestly. "It's not just today. You have to drink medicine every day in the future. If you want to get a cure, you can't be lazy. Even if I'm not here, you have to remember."

Sure enough, Nan Gongzheng's brows were deeply frowned, and his handsome face was tense, as if the task was too difficult.

Seeing his emotions, Su Min smiled more clearly, but what he said hit the nail on the head. "Just like you take pity on my body, I don't want you to be plagued by headaches every time. Although it won't kill people, it's not easy, isn't it?"

Only then did Nangong Zheng curse in a low voice, and hit the table with his fist heavily, with a domineering aura. "Could the old man be taking revenge on me? How could there be such a disgusting and unappetizing medicine? Are you sure he didn't grab a few handfuls of herbs indiscriminately to deceive people?"

"Aren't you afraid of everything? Do big men still care about this nasty medicine?" She was furious for a moment, and chuckled instantly, but of course Nangong Zheng couldn't understand her ridicule, so he leaned forward suddenly, and sealed it suddenly. Hold her lips.

Su Min was like a cat who had tasted chili, she jumped and pulled away suddenly. When his lips and tongue were entangled with her, the strong bitter taste that could not be dispelled made her frown.

"Well, it's so hard..."

"Well, you also think this is more like a prank."

Nan Gongzheng raised his eyebrows proudly. He looked down at her delicate appearance of jumping feet, and the corners of his mouth secretly raised.

"You have to suffer." But she didn't have the slightest intention of retreating and compromising, her bright eyes were aimed at Nan Gongzheng, and she never gave up on those four words.

She paused, walked to Nan Gongzheng's side, hugged his neck, and opened her mouth. "The big deal is that when I'm by your side, I'll drink with you."

"Why ask for trouble?" Nangong Zheng's heart felt hot, he turned his face and looked deeply at her cheek, but his displeasure disappeared silently.

She gently pressed her small face against his temples, her expression was gentle, and her words moved her. "You may not know what kind of person grandpa is. I have already told him that I care about you and like you, so he will never joke about it. This medicine is by no means a prank. I can tell you You promise, although it is a bit troublesome to take medicine every day, I don't want to see the scene where you still frown and can't sleep peacefully."

"Okay, I promise you."

Nangong Zheng held her fingertips and said in a deep voice, this can be regarded as an explanation from him to her, and it can also be regarded as an explanation to himself.

"You have to remember that you are no longer alone. You can't be the same as before. It doesn't matter." She breathed lightly, blowing in his ear.

"You too."

He smiled faintly, stood up and hugged her.

"Even if you think I'm long-winded, I still have to say these words. Don't think of yourself as omnipotent and invincible. You will also get sick and suffer from pain. Don't let your temper act. You also know that your temper is not Well, there are some things that cannot be tolerated." She put her small face on his chest, and his embrace made her feel airtight, like a huge tent, protecting her from the wind and cold.

"Well, I know that you are doing it for my own good."

He couldn't help laughing, it was rare to hear Su Min nagging, she used to be very calm and rarely showed her private side, but now getting along with her, he felt more and more that she was a cute little woman.

She was the only one who, even if she made herself drink the foul-smelling concoction, she had to persuade him to drink it together, and she couldn't bear him to live in pain.

She is different from those women in the past.

She is not only the kind of woman who exists to satisfy his desire as a man, but also fills the emptiness and loneliness in his heart for more than 20 years.

More like lovers, more like family.

Two days later.

afternoon.

Fan'er persuaded Su Min to take a nap. She felt sleepy after reading an account book, and told Fan'er to go out to get medicine. Seeing Fan'er's disapproving but helpless eyes, she smiled and persuaded her to leave.

Who came in and who went out in the room, she didn't feel it, the emotions for several days made her tense up at night, busy dealing with Nangong Zheng's greed, unable to fall asleep, until now she returned to the familiar place, all Tiredness pours in, completely released.

She slept soundly and didn't even have a bad dream.

When Nangong Zheng walked to her side, she didn't notice anything. She turned over slightly, the warm quilt was mixed with her body, and a soft sweet voice overflowed from her satisfied red lips.

After a while, she woke up faintly. She was rubbing her eyes in a cute and cute way, her long hair was scattered on the pillow, soft and shiny, shining and moving. She turned her head and saw him sitting on the edge of the bed looking down at her.

"Miss, your medicine..."

Seeing that the door was ajar, Fan'er thought Su Min had already got up, pushed the door in without thinking, and walked into the inner hall with the soup.It's just that the scene in front of her suddenly surprised her. Didn't Nangong Zheng go out just now?How come you came back so soon?

Su Min was still half asleep, but suddenly woke up because of Fan'er's words.

Nangong Zheng was suspicious, and walked a few steps forward. The medicinal soup was still hot, and the smell made him feel a little familiar, but it also made him feel that there were more indiscernible emotions in his heart.

"This is how the same thing."

He finally opened his mouth, his eyes swept over Fan'er, and finally fell on Su Min. His voice was very calm, but it was also heartening.

"What a coincidence." Su Min smiled wryly, and that sigh, shallow, faint, disappeared in the wind.

It was only today that she thought of asking Fan'er to prepare some contraceptive pills, but she was caught before she drank it, and she suddenly didn't know how to explain it.

"Now that I've seen it, I won't continue to hide it from you." She smiled lightly, raised her face, and said very plainly. "Don't you want children?"

Unexpectedly, Nangong Zheng didn't fly into a rage when he heard the words. His black eyes sank, and his eyes were full of solemnity. "I admit, I don't like children that much."

His father, the emperor, once doted on his mother and concubine, but he was unable to protect his wife and children.

He didn't know whether he hated him, or thought he was useless, that he only understood Fengyue, but not the responsibility of a man.

But he didn't know if he was a responsible man and a good father.

This sentence seems to be enough.

Su Min lowered her eyebrows silently, her heart was full of bitterness and loss, but she convinced herself that it was nothing, he still liked her, it was not a big problem, so there was no need to make a big fuss.

They have plenty of time, they still have a long way to go, she is only 17 years old, everything has just begun, it doesn't matter, take your time...

She just thought of this, but suddenly she heard Nangong Zheng's deep voice with unwavering emotions.

"It was my fault."

He was greedy for pleasure and obsessed with her body and mind, but he didn't expect to be so considerate. He ignored her feelings. From today's perspective, he is a selfish man.

He gently held her face, and looked deeply into those clear eyes.He didn't want her to continue to misunderstand, and he knew that her gentleness and understanding would not misunderstand his thoughts, but he also didn't want to make her sad.

He knew he hurt you, and she was willing to obey what he didn't explain to her.Seeing her accommodating, she was extremely shocked, stunned, suddenly realized, and then felt heart-piercing pain.

"I forced you to hide your words. You don't want to and you can't tell me a lot of words. Do you think that will destroy something..." He bent down, held her little hand, and said seriously.Her eyes were hot, as if tears were about to well up.

"I'm closer to you than anyone else, but sometimes I don't understand you, it's too selfish."

He smiled bitterly, and slowly covered her eyebrows, not letting her cry, and looked at her intently.
