Chapter 1309: The Emperor Is Expecting 23
After disinfecting and cleaning Su Yan’s wound, he applied golden sore medicine.
Situ Xiu sat on the chair, bandaging her.
The guards were also dealing with the bodies and bloodstains in the courtyard and hall.
Ning Zhi was sent away.
Only Su Yan and Situ Xiu were left in the hall.
He tied it tight for her.
Waiting as he wrapped it round and round.
Su Yan’s hand was wrapped up like a big steamed bun.
Originally, the wound was on the palm, but after the bandaging, she couldn’t flex her four fingers.
She tried to take it off.
"My hand can’t move."
Situ Xiu grabbed her arm.
"For the next month, don’t move this hand."
"But, how will I eat?"
Situ Xiu looked up at her.
"You are my guard, not thinking about how to protect me, just worrying about how to eat every day?"
Su Yan changed her words.
"I can’t hold a sword."
"You can’t even protect yourself, how will you protect me?"
"I..."
"What?"
"I... got it."
Su Yan lowered her head, silently clenched her fist.
But she couldn’t clench her five fingers together.
Once the bandaging was done.
Chi Xing came over, clasped his hands, and spoke.
"Prince, the girl Ning Zhi hasn’t left yet."
Situ Xiu’s eyelids moved, he sneered.
"Chi Xing"
"I’m here, sire."
"Since when did my territory become a place where people come and go freely?"
Chi Xing hesitated.
"Prince, Duke Ning’s marriage proposal..."
He stopped talking.
Seeing that Situ Xiu’s expression wasn’t very good.
He hurriedly said.
"Prince, I’ll ask the girl Ning Zhi to leave now."
Chi Xing turned and left.
Soon, only Su Yan and Situ Xiu were left in the room.
Su Yan was puzzled.
"Do you have a marriage proposal with that Ning Zhi?"
Situ Xiu was taken aback, he looked up.
He didn’t answer immediately, but pondered, his lips slowly curled up.
"I can’t have a marriage proposal with others?"
Su Yan thought for a moment.
"Having a marriage proposal is fine."
As soon as she said that, the smile on Situ Xiu’s face froze.
Then he heard Su Yan say.
"But you can’t marry, nor can you take a concubine, or sneak around."
In Su Yan’s eyes, a marriage proposal is just for reputation.
It has no real substance.
So whether or not they have one doesn’t matter.
But those other three things, absolutely cannot happen.
Situ Xiu’s smile grew wider and wide, the look in his eyes towards Su Yan became scorching.
He spoke slowly.
"The parents’ order and the matchmaker’s words. If there is a marriage proposal, it must be fulfilled."
Su Yan shook her head.
"No way."
Situ Xiu’s smile became even brighter.
He leaned back on the chair.
Holding Su Yan’s hand wrapped like a small bun.
He was the Prince of Tiansheng Country.
Second to none but the Emperor.
Not to mention marrying a wife, he could have three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines.
Who would dare say otherwise?
But he didn’t know why.
Hearing her say so earnestly that it’s not allowed, it made him happy inside.
He naturally didn’t have a marriage proposal with that girl Ning Zhi.
It’s only Duke Ning intentionally promoting it.
He was too lazy to respond, which made everyone think they already had a proposal.
He lifted his eyelids.
"You say it’s not allowed, with what position? What are you to me?"
Su Yan opened her mouth but honestly couldn’t articulate anything.
She closed her mouth again, said nothing.
Situ Xiu regretted a bit after speaking.
Seeing her not speaking, head down, he held her in his arms.
Spoke up
"I will consider what you said."
After speaking, seeing no response from her.
He added.
"If we’re talking about a match, there’s no one in Tiansheng Country who can match my status."
