Shalan looked up at Xie Changqing, her curled eyelashes swaying slightly, and the smile on her lips was a bit bitter: "How could I expect someone to save me before?"

"I have no one to look forward to. Behind me are my brothers and clan members who need to be protected."

"I can neither retreat nor fall, so I am fearless and always save myself."

"Besides, why would you come to save me?"

"That princess said that as long as I leave, she will find a way to keep you and let you marry her."

"I think you must have been with the princess at that time, talking to her in a very gentle voice, and teaching her son to ride a horse..."

Xie Changqing stood up and hung on Sha Lan.

He covered Shalan's lips with his palm, and the waves surged in his deep and dark eyes.

The tangled muscles on his arms and shoulders showed that he was suppressing and unable to control his emotions at this time.

Shalan's glazed eyes were calm and calm.

She slowly grabbed Xie Changqing's hand covering her mouth, "I hated you so much at that time. I hated you."

"Those whips on my body hurt, but my heart hurts even more. I think you must have given up on me again... You still think that this stubborn stalker of mine is finally gone."

"I hate myself even more. I have known since I was a child that no one can be trusted, yet I still expect you to save me."

"That's when I realized that I was hopelessly in love with you, so when I was in such danger, I would be distracted and hope that you would save me, but you don't love me..."

"Yaya——" Xie Changqing's voice was suppressed and stiff, and the pain was like a tear in the heart, a constant pain, "I have not given up on you, I have been looking for you all the way."

"From the capital to Anyang, to Xiaoshi Village, to Danzhou, to the islands——"

Shalan raised her head and kissed Xie Changqing on the lips, "I know, the man named Uncle Li told me."

"Xie Changqing, I am not saying this to make you blame yourself and regret it. I have figured it out. I still like you and I will stay with you, but you must always be good to me."

"If you treat me badly one day, I will kill you."

"I really will."

Xie Changqing responded to her threatening confession with a hot and lingering kiss.

He grabbed the crook of Shallan's leg.

"you--"

Shalan pinched Xie Changqing's arm with both hands, "Your wound has collapsed!"

"I know. Little princess, are you so worried about me that you are willing to kill me in the future?"

Xie Changqing's tone was soft and slow, but he took over everything about Shalan without hesitation. His laughter was hoarse and low: "Let me die now."

The ultimate lingering, indeed a small death.

At the end of this time, Shalan didn't have the strength to lift her fingertips. Her eyelids were shaking, and there was a thin layer of sweat on her flushed face, like a spring begonia in a painting.

Xie Changqing kissed her red cheek lovingly, "Do you want to take a bath?"

Shallan closed her eyes, "I'm so tired."

I don't want to move at all.

Xie Changqing wrapped Shalan in a thick blanket, thinking that the weather was not warm now and there was a cold wind at night.

Shalan's body is weak, so if she is soaked in sweat and sleeps all night without washing, she is afraid that she will feel a little uncomfortable.

After lying like this for a while, Xie Changqing got up, put on his clothes, and ordered someone to prepare hot water.

It was already past midnight, and the soldiers got up early for daily training.

The soldiers guarding the courtyard gate also happened to change their posts, but there was generally no fire in Xie Changqing's barracks. Food was provided by the army, as was drinking water and hot water.

The delivery of hot water was a little slow.

Xie Changqing asked someone to put the hot water away. After closing the door, he picked up Shalan, who had already fallen asleep, and thought that a stove should be prepared nearby to make it more convenient for Shalan.

Shalan was taken out of the warm blanket by him, and the cold air in the room hit her.

He immediately shrank from the cold.

She leaned in front of Xie Changqing, frowned slightly and raised her eyelids: "I'm really sleepy."

"I know, soon." Xie Changqing hugged her and put her in the hot water. His original intention was to wash her away from the sweat and then send her back to rest.

But he was new to this and didn't know how to tie up his hair first.

After putting Shalan in, her hair was soaked.

Xie Changqing didn't know how to arrange the hair, so he was in a hurry and his face turned black. He watched helplessly as the brown hair stuck to Shalan's shoulders and back.

Shalan lay on the edge of the tub and looked at him with raised eyebrows, "You must have done it on purpose."

Xie Changqing was speechless for a moment, then took an embroidered handkerchief and put it on Shalan's head, turned around and went out.

Shalan rested her cheek on her arm, knowing that he should call someone.

Sure enough, after a while, the doctor who was looking after Shalan came in.

The doctor's wife took the comb and sat on the round stool beside the bathtub, and said with a smile: "Princess, take a nap when you are tired. I will help the princess with her hair. I will call you when I am ready."

Shalan let out a light "hmm" and closed her eyes.

The doctor's wife carefully washed her hair and tied it with an embroidered hairband, and found that Shalan had fallen asleep.

She hesitated to wake her up, but Xie Changqing came in.

Xie Changqing went out for a walk and felt refreshed when he came in. He walked to the tub in a few steps and reached out to hold Shalan's shoulders.

The doctor's wife quickly stopped: "General!"

Xie Changqing turned around, "What?"

"this."

The doctor's wife handed over a blanket and whispered: "Wrap the princess and get up, lest the cold air on your body freezes her and wets your clothes."

Xie Changqing was silent for a moment and took the blanket.

Shalan was half asleep and stood up cooperatively the moment he stretched out his hand.

When Xie Changqing carried her back to the bed, Shalan opened her eyes and put her hands around Xie Changqing's neck: "Are you still going to work? How long?"

"I have to be busy, but I won't leave Yao City, only stay in the city... at noon, and come back at noon."

After receiving the answer, Shalan relaxed her hands, huddled into the blanket and continued to sleep.

Xie Changqing stroked her wet hair and turned to look at the doctor.

The doctor's wife smiled and said: "General, don't worry, I know how to take care of the princess. You can go and do it."

"..."

Xie Changqing was silent for a moment, nodded, stood up, and left.

……

It was already afternoon by the time Xie Changqing returned to the barracks after finishing his work.

When he came, he also had food delivered to him.

Not surprisingly, Shallan was still asleep.

Her hair had long been dried and braided and hung on the bed. The end of the braid was tied with an embroidered hairband, and the pink and purple petals on it were as fresh and beautiful as her cheeks.

Xie Changqing sat on the side of the bed and watched for a while, then got up and went to the desk outside, took out a small box from the drawer of the secret cabinet, slowly walked back to the bed and sat down again, lifting the soft blanket from her feet.

As Shalan slept in a daze, she felt something cool on her feet.

Someone pulled her blanket away.

"Xie Changqing?"

Shalan opened her eyes sleepily, glanced at the handsome man, and whispered: "What are you doing?"

[This plot is coherent, so I put it all here to save everyone from scratching their heads]

[I got the hospitalization slip, waiting for bed]

[It’s too difficult and I have to wait for an appointment at the ophthalmology department. According to the doctor, I have to work and live with one eye for a period of time before the macular swelling is reduced. This is a long-term process and a new experience! 】(End of this chapter)
