The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 1029 - 620: Sweating It Out (Third Update)
Everyone retreated outside.
Naturally, Eunuch Ping also left.
He turned to Feng Xiyun beside him, observing her respectful and elegant demeanor, genuinely saying, "Imperial Physician Feng, with your dedication to His Majesty, he will surely reward you generously."
He truly thought Feng Xiyun had a commendable character.
If anyone had feelings for His Majesty, they would not allow such closeness between him and the Empress, revealing their own selfishness.
In Eunuch Ping’s eyes, with His Majesty’s charismatic and imposing presence, all the women would admire him, thus he believed Feng Xiyun also admired His Majesty; yet with such grace, he quite appreciated her.
Listening to Eunuch Ping’s words, Feng Xiyun smiled warmly, "I am merely fulfilling my duties; I haven’t thought of seeking reward from His Majesty."
"In the palace, maintaining one’s original aspirations is the way to ensure self-preservation," Eunuch Ping said sincerely.
"Thank you for your guidance, Eunuch Ping," Feng Xiyun replied respectfully, looking pure and benign.
Eunuch Ping said no more.
He also waited in an orderly manner, awaiting His Majesty’s orders.
Inside the screen.
Xiao Jinxing took off his clothes, lifted the bedding, and lay down beside An Ning.
An Ning’s entire body was feverishly hot, like a furnace.
He extended his arm, ultimately drawing her into his embrace.
Her body was alarmingly hot.
Xiao Jinxing quickly held her tightly, wishing for her to start sweating immediately.
"Mm..." An Ning seemed to sense someone beside her, mumbling softly.
"What did you say?" Xiao Jinxing couldn’t hear clearly.
"Uncomfortable..." An Ning managed to utter two clear words.
"Once you sweat, the fever will break and you won’t feel uncomfortable," Xiao Jinxing whispered gently in her ear as he hugged her close.
An Ning’s body instinctively clung tightly to Xiao Jinxing.
She suddenly felt so much warmer.
Sleeping alone, she always felt cold.
Always so cold, so cold.
Her hand unconsciously slipped inside his nightclothes.
Xiao Jinxing’s body tensed slightly.
Her whole body should have been hot, yet her hands and feet were frighteningly cold.
Xiao Jinxing placed her other hand on his abdomen too, using his body heat to warm her hands.
At the same time, he placed her cold little feet between his legs, fearing she might not feel the warmth; he removed his pants so her feet could directly touch his warm skin...
An Ning indeed felt much warmer.
Her entire being felt wrapped in a warm bubble, prompting her to want to be even closer.
She was almost entirely pressed against his body.
Xiao Jinxing’s breathing became irregular.
He felt he might be even hotter than An Ning at that moment.
"So warm..." An Ning murmured.
Her voice hinted at satisfaction.
"You’re warming up, but I’m about to overheat..." Xiao Jinxing said helplessly.
Yet his arms remained tightly around her, not releasing her at all.
As if he sensed a hint of sweat on her body.
"Haha..." An Ning chuckled softly.
Her laughter was clearly vibrant.
Xiao Jinxing wondered if An Ning was awake or asleep at that moment.
She didn’t open her eyes, but her body kept snuggling against him...
"An Ning, don’t move," Xiao Jinxing’s deep voice was slightly hoarse, somewhat suppressed.
An Ning seemed not to hear.
Her body didn’t stop.
"An Ning, if you move again, I will..."
Before he finished speaking.
An Ning suddenly turned over, pressing down on him, her lips nearing his.
The fiery kiss was truly due to An Ning’s excessively hot body.
Xiao Jinxing involuntarily gripped the bedding tightly.
His body stiffened further due to An Ning’s initiative...
For a long while.
An Ning released Xiao Jinxing’s lips, looking at his flushed cheeks and the sweat on his forehead that he was suppressing.
She asked, "Did you miss me?"
Xiao Jinxing’s Adam’s apple moved.
An Ning’s scorching fingers caressed his alluring Adam’s apple.
Who could have such handsome features, even in this spot?
Xiao Jinxing’s breath became noticeably heavier.
As An Ning’s lips approached his Adam’s apple...
"Ah!" An Ning screamed.
Her entire body was quickly pressed back into the bed by Xiao Jinxing.
The next moment, her unruly body was firmly pinned beneath him, rendering her immobile.
Above her, a deeply suppressed voice sounded, gritting out, "Sweat properly for my sake!"
"..." The best way to sweat was clearly not this!
...
Outside the screen.
Eunuch Ping listened intently.
Feng Xiyun naturally knew what he was listening to.
She also heard the commotion on the bed inside.
Unconsciously, she clenched her hand into a fist, showing no emotion.
After a while, Eunuch Ping revealed an amused, motherly smile.
He just felt that His Majesty and the Empress should be this way... reconciled.
At dawn.
Xiao Jinxing’s voice emanated from inside the screen, "Eunuch Ping."
"At your service."
"Dress me."
"As you command."
Eunuch Ping walked in with a chuckle.
Seeing His Majesty arising with disheveled clothes, pants wrinkled beyond recognition.
Xiao Jinxing’s eyes tightened.
Eunuch Ping promptly shifted his gaze away, respectfully dressing His Majesty.
"Is Feng Xiyun here?"
"Replying to His Majesty, Imperial Physician Feng and I have been outside awaiting your orders."
"Didn’t sleep all night?"
"Yes."
Xiao Jinxing pursed his lips.
Eunuch Ping quickly commented, "Imperial Physician Feng has a decent character and is diligent in her duties."
"Let her in."
"As you command."
Feng Xiyun followed Eunuch Ping inside, bowing respectfully, "Your servant greets Your Majesty."
She then raised her eyes, seeing His Majesty dressed neatly.
No different from the day before.
But last night...
Feng Xiyun tightly pressed her lips together.
"The Empress sweated profusely last night. Today, I felt her, and her fever has seemingly subsided. Please examine her again; if her condition has improved, you may rest and return later," Xiao Jinxing said to Feng Xiyun.
"Yes." Feng Xiyun appeared very respectful.
She stepped forward, cautiously taking An Ning’s pulse.
Suddenly noticing a mark on the Empress’s neck.
Though unmarried and inexperienced, she had been taught about intimate matters due to her age and knew what it meant.
"How is it?" Xiao Jinxing asked.
Feng Xiyun quickly returned to her senses.
She hadn’t focused on the pulse at all.
"Please wait a moment, Your Majesty."
Xiao Jinxing pursed his lips.
After a while.
Feng Xiyun reported respectfully, "Your Majesty, the Empress’s fever has subsided, and her breath is stable. I will prepare a few more doses of medicine for two days to ensure recovery."
"Good." Xiao Jinxing nodded, relaxing slightly.
"I will go to prepare the medicine for Her Highness..." Feng Xiyun stood up.
As she rose, her body suddenly swayed.
Xiao Jinxing was right beside her and swiftly supported her.
"Feng Xiyun." Xiao Jinxing called her somewhat apprehensively.
Feng Xiyun weakly said, "I am fine, Your Majesty; simply dizzy from not sleeping all night, no need to worry."
