Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

The first step in a massage is to undress.

Hua Manman has to undress King Zhao every day, and he is already familiar with this process.

She quickly helped him take off his clothes layer by layer.

When Hua Manman squatted down and was about to lift up King Zhao's trouser legs, he suddenly spoke.

"Just press it like this."

Hua Manman paused.

She frowned and said: "But the medical book says that it's best not to use a cloth during massage, and I have to apply ointment on you. You can't use medicine like this."

Li Ji was only wearing a moon-white tunic at this time, his long black hair hung loose behind him, his thin lips were tightly pressed, and his long and narrow eyebrows revealed a bit of gloom.

He was silent for a long time before speaking.

"If you're not afraid, then do as you're told."

Hua Manman didn't understand that she just stroked her trouser legs, what was there to be afraid of?

It wasn't until she pulled up his trouser legs and saw the hideous scars on his legs that she understood what he meant.

His legs were slender and straight, with well-distributed muscles, which should have been a pair of extremely beautiful legs.

However, due to serious injuries, he left extremely ugly scars on his legs.

Just like a piece of the most beautiful jade, if it is broken by someone, even if it is carefully glued on, it will still leave a dazzling crack.

Hua Manman was stunned and didn't move for a long time.

Li Ji lowered his dark eyes, looked into her eyes and asked.

"It looks disgusting, doesn't it?"

Hua Manman remembered that before she crossed over, she was severely injured by her father and was admitted to the hospital, and her grandparents came to visit her.

At that time in the ward, when grandma saw the ugly scars on her body, she was also worried that grandma would dislike her.

In the end, grandma just stroked her hair, with tears in her eyes, and said in a trembling voice.

"Don't be afraid, Manman, grandpa and grandma will take you home."

Hua Manman recalled the mood at that moment, and involuntarily softened her voice.

"It's okay, it will get better soon."

Someone once gave her pain, but someone gave her tenderness.

Those pains may leave indelible scars in her heart.

But those tenderness can also be spread by her to others.

Li Ji could not hear other voices from her heart.

She was trying to comfort him sincerely, without any other emotion.

Li Ji twitched the corners of his mouth, and laughed at himself: "It's not going to get better, the imperial doctors all said that this king's leg is hopeless."

Hua Manman stretched out her finger, and stroked his leg with her soft fingertips, her tone was firmer than ever before.

"It will be fine!"

Li Ji wanted to laugh at her for being too conceited, even the imperial doctor order could not do anything about his injury, how could she be sure that he would recover? Could it be that her medical skills are better than the imperial physician's order?

But when he touched her pair of shining beautiful black eyes, he closed his mouth again.

Those mocking words were swallowed back by him.

Li Ji said expressionlessly.

"Don't just give others hope."

He had hoped for many people, but those hopes turned into despair in the end.

He hated that feeling.

Hua Manman said confidently: "Why don't we make a bet?

If the prince's leg injury can be cured, it will be considered that the concubine has won.

If it is not cured, then the prince has won.

The loser has to meet a condition of the winner. "

Li Ji felt that her self-confident appearance was silly, but there was a faint voice in her heart saying to him——

Trust her once, just once.

If he is disappointed again this time, he will no longer trust anyone.

So he responded in a strange way.

"it is good."

Hua Manman immediately beamed with joy: "Let's pull the hook!"

She held out her little finger.

With a very delicate mood, Li Ji stretched out his little finger and hooked her.
