Chapter 50 -49: The Snake Slithers onto the Bed
Shen Chuwei thought about Xiao Jinyan’s spirits today, and indeed, he didn’t seem well.
She had assumed it was because he was upset due to a cold war with Lady Liang.
She intended to withdraw her hand, but suddenly a large hand pressed on the back of her hand.
His palm was so large it easily covered hers.
The cool touch on his burning forehead felt very comfortable.
Sensing she wanted to move away, he reached out to stop her, wanting her to keep it there.
He slowly opened his heavy eyelids and saw Shen Chuwei propping herself up to look at him.
Seeing Xiao Jinyan open his eyes, she simply sat up and said, “Your Highness, you have a high fever.
This concubine will go get you some medicine.”
Xiao Jinyan, of course, knew he was running a high fever.
He just didn’t want others to know to avoid all kinds of suspicion.
“No need.
This palace will be fine after resting for one night.”
“Your Highness, if a high fever doesn’t abate and isn’t treated promptly, it’s very easy to cause brain damage.”
It wasn’t an exaggeration; a persistent high fever could indeed lead to brain damage.
If Xiao Jinyan turned into a fool, how could she continue to freeload?
Xiao Jinyan: “Nonsense!”
Shen Chuwei nodded compliantly, “This concubine was talking nonsense.
As the Crown Prince, Your Highness has the protection of the dragon spirit, so certainly no harm will come from the fever.
Could you please let go of my hand now?”
Xiao Jinyan looked at her without speaking, his hand still pressing on hers without any intention of letting go.
Shen Chuwei: “…” Your Highness, what do you mean by this?
In the dead of night,
In the darkness, a black figure appeared outside the tent.
From a bag, three poisonous snakes were taken out and put into the Crown Prince’s tent.
Three snakes, flicking their tongues, easily climbed up one leg of the bed.
The other two snakes each climbed another leg of the bed.
Shen Chuwei had waited quite a while, and Xiao Jinyan showed no intention of letting go.
The temperature in the palm of his hand kept rising as if it were going to melt her.
“Your Highness, it would be better to take some antipyretic medicine; otherwise, will you even be able to go hunting tomorrow?” she urged him gently.
Xiao Jinyan’s eyes paused, then he caught sight of a snake suddenly appearing behind Shen Chuwei.
It had a triangular head, signifying it was extremely venomous.
He commanded in a deep voice, “Don’t move.” His voice was hoarse from the high fever.
Shen Chuwei, puzzled, watched as Xiao Jinyan propped himself up on the bed with one hand and slowly encircled her waist with the other, pulling her closer and closer, until their faces neared each other.
Shen Chuwei’s heart pounded like a drum.
Was Xiao Jinyan planning to take advantage of her?
With him burning up like this, did he still have the strength for intense activity?
Xiao Jinyan’s gaze stayed on that poisonous snake, but his limbs were weak; he dared not strike.
If he couldn’t kill the snake in one go, the consequences would be dangerous.
Normally, he wouldn’t concern himself with a single poisonous snake.
But now, the snake was less than half a meter from Shen Chuwei, which was far too dangerous.
Their distance grew closer and closer, so near that they pressed tightly against each other.
Through the thin layers of their clothes, she could clearly feel the heat of Xiao Jinyan’s body as well as the definition of his abs, which indicated his excellent physique.
Shen Chuwei mentally berated herself: what time was it to be assessing his build?
A hot breath whispered by her ear because Xiao Jinyan was right against it.
Shen Chuwei tensed up, her hands pressed against Xiao Jinyan’s shoulders, conflicted by his status as to whether she should push him or not.
“Your Highness, what do you intend to do?”
Xiao Jinyan didn’t mention the snake behind her, fearing she would frighten the venomous creature into lashing out, which would only complicate matters.
“Don’t move.
It will be over soon,” he said.
Shen Chuwei looked down at how close they were, the scorching heat even beginning to warm her as well.
Xiao Jinyan seized the opportunity, grabbed the blanket with all his might, rolled the poisonous snake inside, and threw it forcefully onto the ground.
Xuetuan suddenly opened his eyes; in the night, they emitted a deep blue glow.
As the snake wriggled out of the bedding, Xuetuan bared his teeth and spread his claws, pouncing at the snake and striking at its head with a swipe.
Shen Chuwei was wondering what he meant by “will be well very soon,” when she noticed Xiao Jinyan had thrown the blanket away.
“Why would you throw the blanket for no good reason?”
Xiao Jinyan saw Xuetuan attacking the snake, and only then did he sigh in relief, “It’s done.”
At that moment, Shen Chuwei saw a bamboo viper by the head of the bed, raising its head and flicking its tongue, aiming straight for Xiao Jinyan.

Only then did Xiao Jinyan realize how slender Shen Chuwei’s waist actually was, feeling even hotter than before.
Just as he planned to let go of Shen Chuwei, she suddenly hugged him tightly, pulling the small gap that had opened between them closed again, leaving no space at all.
Beads of sweat covered Xiao Jinyan’s forehead, and his breathing grew heavier.
With one hand wrapped around Xiao Jinyan and the other waving at the bamboo viper, Shen Chuwei said, “Scram!”
The bamboo viper flickered its tongue, its sharp little head looking back and forth between Xiao Jinyan and Shen Chuwei, as if hesitating.
When Xiao Jinyan relaxed for a moment, dizziness and blurring of vision made him furrow his brows, puzzlingly looking at Shen Chuwei.
“Shen Fengyi, let me go,” he said weakly.
Shen Chuwei whispered very softly into Xiao Jinyan’s ear, “Your Highness, wait a little longer.”
Shen Chuwei’s voice was soft and sweet like a marshmallow, coupled with the warm breath that flowed into his ear.
Xiao Jinyan, a young man of blood and vigor, especially with a beauty in his arms, how could he remain indifferent?
Xiao Jinyan frowned deeply.
Shen Chuwei continued to hurry the bamboo viper away, and threatened with her gaze, If you don’t leave, I might just turn you into medicine.
The bamboo viper paused its flickering tongue as if frightened, turned around, and slithered down the bed, making its way back where it came from.
Shen Chuwei saw the bamboo viper scared off, her lips curving into a smile, “Go on, run if you dare.”
Meanwhile, Xuetuan had killed two poisonous snakes and was now cleaning his snow-white fur.
Shen Chuwei looked at her hand around Xiao Jinyan’s neck and quickly withdrew it; after all, it had been just a temporary expedient.
Xiao Jinyan lifted his gaze to Shen Chuwei, his eyes unreadable.
“Your Highness, lie down for a while, I’ll go get medicine.” Shen Chuwei smoothly stepped over Xiao Jinyan’s long legs, was about to get off the bed, but Xiao Jinyan suddenly caught her wrist, “Don’t disturb the Military Doctor.”
This time a Military Doctor had come with them.
Shen Chuwei now understood why Xiao Jinyan had been insisting on enduring without seeking a doctor’s help—he did not want others to know about his high fever.
“I won’t call for the Military Doctor, I have medicine for reducing fever,” she said.
A flicker of confusion crossed Xiao Jinyan’s eyes, “You brought fever-reducing medicine?”
Shen Chuwei replied, “It’s always good to be prepared when traveling.”
Her Space was filled with many medicines; fever-reducing medicine was just one of the common ones.
Xiao Jinyan nodded and released her hand, “Then fetch it for me to take.”
“I’ll go right away.” Shen Chuwei swiftly got out of bed to pour water, then put the fever-reducing medicine into it before turning back to the bedside.
“Your Highness, drink slowly.”
Xiao Jinyan took the teacup, lowered his gaze to the clear water in the cup, and looked up at Shen Chuwei with confusion, “Isn’t this just a bowl of clear water?”
