After giving her contraceptives, she went mad, criticizing the prince for turning white-haired overn

After Xie Linyuan finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the cave.

Before I had taken more than a few steps, I heard the little girl's weak voice behind me.

"Xie Linyuan."

"Are you... are you going to leave me?"

Xie Linyuan turned around and saw Shen Ning wrapped in his cloak, sitting pitifully by the fire.

The firelight illuminated her pale face, and her dark eyes stared at him.

He was silent for a moment, then spoke.

"I have something to take care of."

"You stay here and don't go anywhere."

After saying that, Xie Linyuan left the cave without looking back.

Outside the cave, wind and snow were raging.

Shen Ning felt a slight itch in her chest.

She sat by the fire, hugging her knees, and gradually felt that something was wrong with her body.

Yanjing is located in the north, and the weather was extremely cold during the spring hunt this year.

She fell into the water twice in a row, and was injured and poisoned.

Her health probably won't hold up.

Outside the cave, waves of cold air seeped in, but the heat within her body grew increasingly intense.

My shoulders and back are sore, and my throat is dry and itchy.

She huddled up, her eyes fixed on the cave entrance, hoping Xie Linyuan would return soon.

Gradually, the howls of wild beasts could be heard from not far away.

The high-pitched, drawn-out sound drilled into her ears, making every nerve in her body tense.

In her current state, if a wild animal were to break in, she probably wouldn't even have the strength to struggle.

He could only let those wild beasts tear him apart.

The sounds of the wild beasts gradually faded away, and she unknowingly drifted off to sleep.

-

When Xie Linyuan returned, it was getting dark.

When they came in, their boots smelled of blood.

He sheathed his dagger and entered the cave, where he saw Shen Ning leaning limply against the haystack.

The girl was pale and breathing weakly, as if she might die at any moment.

"water……"

"So thirsty..."

A soft moan escaped from her chapped lips.

Xie Linyuan took out a handkerchief, wiped the blood off his hands, and strode over to her side.

With a serious expression, he reached out and touched Shen Ning's forehead.

My forehead was burning hot.

Sweat trickled down her temples and into her collar, soaking through her clothes.

Xie Linyuan frowned, somewhat at a loss.

Shen Ning fell into the water twice today, both times because of him. I didn't expect this cold to come on so quickly.

"Shen Ning".

He carefully helped her up and gently patted her cheek.

"Wake up."

"Wake up."

Shen Ning's breathing was rapid and shallow, her eyes barely open a crack, her gaze unfocused.

"Xie Linyuan, I'm thirsty..."

"Okay, I'll give you some water."

The man took off the water pouch, put his arm around her waist, and carefully brought the water to her lips, feeding her little by little.

But after feeding her most of the pot of water, Shen Ning's body became even hotter.

His heart suddenly tightened, and he felt somewhat at a loss.

In her past life, when she lost her loved ones, she also had a high fever for three days.

For those three days, he stayed by her bedside until her fever subsided before heading to the military camp.

On that day, there were both physicians from the prefectural government and imperial physicians invited from the palace.

But in this desolate wilderness, with only the two of them, he didn't know what to do.

"Are you feeling unwell?" he asked in a low voice.

"Take off your wet clothes, okay?"

Shen Ning was in a daze, instinctively curling up, her lips pressed together until they turned white.

"No……"

"It's all wet, be a good girl." The man said, slowly reaching out to take off her outer garment.

The girl's skin was burning hot, and every touch stimulated his tense nerves.

The inner garment was also somewhat damp from the sweat.

Xie Linyuan closed his eyes, bit his lip, and took off her inner garment.

He even regretted that he shouldn't have pushed her today, causing her to fall into the lake and catch a cold.

Even after drinking all the water in the water pouch, Shen Ning's forehead was still burning hot.

It's getting dark now, and wild animals often roam this area, so I'm afraid I won't be able to get back today.

The girl, still dazed, nestled in his arms and reached out with her last bit of strength.

In the midst of the chaos, she touched the man's exquisite and handsome face.

"A-Yuan..."

Her breathing was very weak, and her breath came out intermittently.

"What did you call me?" Xie Linyuan's expression changed, thinking he had misheard.

The name A Yuan was what she called him in her previous life.

During their countless entanglements, she would always call his name gently, her eyes reddening.

"A-Yuan?"

Xie Linyuan was somewhat incredulous.

"Shen Ning, what did you call me just now? Say it again."

Shen Ning was very hot and her head was spinning, so she couldn't hear what he was saying at all.

Xie Linyuan trembled slightly, but he didn't want to believe that she, like him, might be someone who had been reborn.

In her past life, they were husband and wife for two years, and she hated him intensely.

The Shen family was destroyed, she lost her child, and blamed all the tragedies on him.

As Xie Linyuan thought about it, he felt as if his heart was being tightly gripped by something.

A pair of dark, deep eyes stared silently at the girl in his arms.

A moment later, he drew a dagger from his waist and then slashed his wrist.

Fresh blood dripped down the dagger.

Xie Linyuan used his other hand to pinch the little girl's chin, making her lips and tongue slightly open.

Shen Ning looked as if she was about to suffocate, her eyes half-closed, and she was having extreme difficulty breathing.

Xie Linyuan leaned down, his lips brushing against her reddened earlobe, and whispered.

"Shen Ning, I don't owe you anything in this life."

After saying that, he dripped his blood, drop by drop, into the girl's lips.

A faint taste of blood seeped into my throat.

Just when Shen Ning thought she was about to die, she seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

Xie Linyuan held her close while pulling his cloak over her delicate body, letting her eat greedily.

He was sent to the Qin state as a hostage for ten years during his childhood.

For ten years, he was imprisoned by the Qin royal family in a dark and sunless iron cage.

They imprisoned him like a dog, tortured him, and used him as a test subject for the royal princesses and princes.

He had tried every kind of poison and taken countless antidotes, which kept him clinging to his worthless life.

Later, the fifth princess of Qin broke his right leg, gave him one last dose of medicine, and then threw him into the black market arena, intending for the wild beasts to tear his body apart.

He fought and competed with the wild beasts of the arena for survival.

Those beasts in the black market love his flesh and blood the most.

It was at that time that he discovered his blood was different from ordinary people's and could detoxify some poisons.

In his past life, he had thought of saving Jing'er, but Jing'er never woke up.

He looked at the girl in his arms and did not hesitate.

Today, he doesn't want her to die.

The fever on the little girl's forehead subsided slightly, and Xie Linyuan pulled off her clothes and put them on her.

As darkness fell, the howling of wolves echoed from a distance.

After Xie Linyuan extinguished the fire, the entire cave was so cold that it sent chills down one's spine.

She held Shen Ning in her arms, pressed her close to herself, and fell asleep beside the haystack.

It was pitch black all around, with only the charcoal fire providing some residual warmth.

The sound of wind and snow howling came from outside the cave.

After the wolf's cries gradually faded away, Xie Linyuan looked down at the person in his arms before relighting the fire.
