Chapter 34: Chapter 34

Su Nuan knew she could not dodge it in time and hugged Zhen Zhu tightly.

She was prepared to have her skin split open, but the whip never hit her.

She tilted her head slightly and looked back, only to see the long whip on Feng Junyi’s hand. His eyes were vaguely enraged.

When Commandery Princess Shuanghua saw him, her hand started to tremble. She immediately knelt on the ground and cried, “Cousin, I didn’t do this on purpose…”

Su Nuan studied the whip in Feng Junyi’s hand. It was covered in barbs, and they had already sunk deep into his flesh. Commandery Princess Shuanghua had also exerted quite a bit of force just now, so Feng Junyi’s hand was badly mangled.

Su Nuan quickly got up and walked towards Feng Junyi, tears welling up in her big eyes. She pouted, looking like she wanted to touch him with her small hands but was afraid of hurting him.

.

She sniveled, “Big Brother Emperor, you… you’re injured. You’re bleeding so much. What should we do?”

She started to cry uncontrollably again.

Eunuch Wang was scared out of his wits. He turned around and kicked the eunuch beside him, who was also frightened. “What are you waiting for? Send for the Imperial physicians!” he said sternly.

“Hold it. I’m fine. There’s no need to panic.”

Feng Junyi threw the whip in his hand on the ground. The eunuchs didn’t know what to do, and the palace maids around them knelt in rows.

Commandery Princess Shuanghua was so terrified that her entire body went limp.

She knew she was done for. She’d only meant to punish the little brat, but she wounded the Emperor instead.

She knew that the Emperor wasn’t on good terms with the Empress Dowager over the past few years. Given his violent nature, she definitely didn’t think she would be able to survive.

She choked out, “Cousin, I really didn’t do it on purpose…”

“Scram.”

Feng Junyi spat out this word coldly and said nothing else.

When the palace maids beside the Princess saw this, they didn’t care about anything else and grabbed the Princess, quickly slipping away.

The surroundings fell silent. Only Su Nuan’s sobs were heard.

“Big Brother Emperor…”

Su Nuan’s heart ached terribly. As she saw his mangled hand, she finally understood how dangerous the situation she was in just now.

If the whip had landed on her, she would be at least half dead.

“Why are you crying?”

Feng Junyi saw her cry because of his injury and frowned slightly. He said coldly, “It’s even more annoying when you cry.”

Su Nuan was stunned for a moment. She quickly sniffed and said, “Then I won’t cry. Big Brother Emperor, can you let the Imperial physicians take a look?”

“There’s no need to blow up this matter. Let’s go back first.”

He reached for her hand.

The young man’s hand was cold around her warm hand. Su Nuan followed obediently and peeked at his other hand from time to time.

Back at Fengqi Palace, Eunuch Wang was so anxious that he quickly retrieved the tissue regeneration ointment. He was about to apply it when Su Nuan stopped him. “Eunuch Wang, may I?”

She was worried that Eunuch Wang, a rough master, would hurt Feng Junyi, so she volunteered to do it for him.

Besides, he might favor me more if I do it.

Feng Junyi glanced at her and resisted the urge to smile. He said calmly, “Let the Empress do it.”

To be honest, Eunuch Wang was worried that the Empress could not treat him well.

After all, the little Empress was used to living like a princess. She wasn’t used to doing such meticulous tasks. It will be troublesome if she manages to hurt him more.

However, the Emperor had already agreed. So, he could only comply.

Eunuch Wang stared at Su Nuan as if he was afraid that something would happen.

Su Nuan, on the other hand, became even more nervous as Eunuch Wang was staring at her.

“Eunuch Wang, can you stay further away?” she asked.

Eunuch Wang had to take a step back.

Su Nuan spoke softly, “Big Brother Emperor, bear with it for a while. Eunuch Wang, bring some wine. I’ll disinfect the wound.”

There was no choice. There was no alcohol in the supermarket.

Eunuch Wang acknowledged her orders but grew even more frightened.

It was right to use wine to disinfect wounds, but it would hurt a lot.

Just as he was still fretting, he heard the Emperor say, “Mhm.”

Eunuch Wang quickly brought the wine over. Su Nuan also retrieved cotton balls from the supermarket. She was about to wipe his wound with the wine when she stopped.

She looked at Feng Junyi with a serious expression. “The wound needs to be disinfected, but it will hurt a lot.”

Feng Junyi said, “It’s alright.”

Su Nuan hesitated. After thinking for a while, she stretched out her other hand and probed, “How about this, Big Brother Emperor? If it hurts, you can bite my hand to feel better.”

“Okay.”

???

Su Nuan was shocked. I only meant it as a joke, but the little tyrant actually agreed?

If it hurts too much, will he bite off my flesh?

She couldn’t take back her offer. Finally, Su Nuan pouted and said, “Alright, I’m going to start.”

She took the cotton ball and approached him carefully. She was nervous because she was worried that Feng Junyi would really bite her.

But, after seeing Feng Junyi’s injured hand again, she made up her mind and gently wiped the cotton ball on his wound.

Feng Junyi stared at Su Nuan’s fair and soft hands and especially her slender fingers. He had long wanted to take a bite.

Now that her hand was so close, he could not let it go so easily.

Just as Su Nuan touched his wound with the cotton ball, Feng Junyi bit her fair hand.

Su Nuan’s body stiffened. The pain in her hand was almost unbearable. But, she was only distracted for a brief moment before she focused on wiping his wounds again.

From his palm to the back of his hand, Feng Junyi had a long wound from the whip. She wiped the blood off first before applying the tissue regeneration ointment evenly.

When she was done, she turned to look at Feng Junyi. He was still holding her hand in his mouth.

She thought it looked a little strange. It’s like… a wolf holding a little white rabbit in its mouth.

But the thought only briefly flashed across her mind.

She stammered, “Big Brother Emperor, I’ve applied the medicine.”

The little girl looked at him pitifully, her eyes red. It seemed like she was reminding him to let her go.

He was still biting her fair and tender hand, which had a fragrant and soft smell. He was reluctant to let go.

Su Nuan quickly retracted her hand and almost cried when she saw the two big tooth marks on her hand.

She wasn’t trying to be coy, but her tears couldn’t help but flow down seeing her little hand bitten like this.

“I’m tired.”

Feng Junyi said calmly, and Su Nuan quickly responded, “Big Brother Emperor, you can rest here. You’ll feel better after you fall asleep.”

“Mhm.”

She obediently brought Feng Junyi to rest and even got Zhen Zhu to bring a stool so she could sit beside him as if she wanted to watch over him.

Feng Junyi asked, “What are you doing?”
