Under the dim candlelight, Yun Chunnuan covered her mouth, trying hard not to make any crying noises.
But she was truly excited!
The Blood Beads were so amazing!!!
She was already happy about having this Golden Finger before, but never as excited as she was now!
But today...
She seemed to have damaged the circle in her hand.
Yun Chunnuan worryingly pinched her finger and carefully inspected the red circle.
It was still so faint, if not examined closely, it was really hard to see.
She really wanted to try now if she had broken the Golden Finger, and whether the Blood Beads still existed...
But the Barbarian General was sleeping outside, she was afraid she would wake him with any slight movement.
In such an atmosphere, he was able to sleep, meaning he must be truly exhausted.
She was reluctant to wake him.
So, Yun Chunnuan suppressed her curiosity, and gently hugged him from behind, pressing her little face against his broad back, warm and trusting, filled entirely with a sense of security.
She didn’t even know when she fell asleep.
Suddenly awakened the next day, it was because of the man’s low growl.
In her sleepy stupor, Yelyu Lie, seemed to have gone mad, rushed over, held her delicate face, and scrutinized it carefully.
Yun Chunnuan rubbed her eyes, completely baffled by his actions, "What’s wrong?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the Barbarian General shouting towards the doorway, "Qiao’er! Quickly, go fetch the doctor! Go get the Central Plains Doctor named He Xuanzhi from the street! Have your brother fetch him!"
Yun Chunnuan was fully awakened by his shouting, "What happened? Who got hurt?"
Yelyu Lie’s hands were trembling!
He gently held her in his arms, his tone exceptionally gentle, "Nuannuan, don’t be afraid, no matter what you become, you are my Yelyu Lie’s wife, I want only you in this life, it can only be you, don’t be scared!"
Yun Chunnuan tilted her head slightly: "?"
What did he mean by no matter what she becomes?
Wasn’t her face pretty?
Just as the Little Princess was bewildered, Qiao’er, summoned by Yelyu Lie’s yelling, appeared in the room with her hair in a mess.
Initially also sleepy, seeing the naked General on the bed, she was first shy, and then saw the Little Princess with a face full of blood.
She screamed, and without waiting for the General to yell at her, she turned and ran, crying as she ran.
The exaggerated crying woke all the maidservants in the courtyard.
Granny Ye was making breakfast, but ran out in a panic, pulling Qiao’er and asking, "What happened? Who’s in trouble?"
Qiao’er cried loudly, "The Princess! Her face is ruined! Someone broke into the room last night and ruined her face! It’s covered in blood! Waaa! The Princess was so beautiful, what will happen now!"
Granny Ye almost fainted in fright, "Quick, quick, quick, get the doctor!"
Yun Chunnuan in the room, hearing the conversation outside, was utterly dumbfounded.
What did they mean her face was ruined?
Where was it ruined?
Her little hands quickly touched her pretty face, only to find dried blood stains...
Then she recalled that last night she had applied three Blood Beads to the scars on the Barbarian General’s back.
The blood that seeped into the scars had also spread beyond the scars.
She hadn’t wiped it off and had fallen asleep holding him.
It must have rubbed onto her face, leading to his misunderstanding...
It was indeed a big misunderstanding, after Yun Chunnuan wiped her face clean in front of the Barbarian General’s red eyes, Yelyu Lie was humbled.
He pulled on the bloodied bedsheet, nervously asking, "And what about here? What’s going on? It’s all blood! I thought you..."
After the previous incident of Ah Yang planting the Fragrance-seeking Grass on the Little Princess, Yelyu Lie had become as jumpy as a startled bird.
He thought he had let his guard down and harmed his beloved, and that some vile creature had scratched her delicate face.
His first thought was to comfort her, not even thinking so much.
Who would have thought...
Yun Chunnuan helplessly came up with an excuse, "Period! My period came, and it accidentally got on the sheet!"
Yelyu Lie: "?"
He didn’t understand what a period was.
Yun Chunnuan was in despair!
She had to explain to him again what a period was...
By the time the Central Plains Doctor arrived, carrying a medicine box, Yun Chunnuan was still in her underwear.
