After the prince was reborn, he forced me to marry him and took me into the East Palace

"Gu Jingheng?" Nan Yuan shook his shoulders a few times and shouted.

But the other party did not respond at all.

Nan Yuan was suddenly a little flustered. This was not in the capital, but in a cave under a cliff. There was no medicine, no water, nothing at all.

Even though she knew that Gu Jingheng had a fever, she had no way to treat him.

"Gu Jingheng, wake up." Nan Yuan pushed Gu Jingheng's shoulder, trying to wake him up.

In this situation, if you fall asleep, you may never wake up.

"Cold..." Gu Jingheng uttered something unclearly, leaned forward, leaned on Nan Yuan's shoulder and rubbed it.

"Cold?" Hearing Gu Jingheng's murmur, Nan Yuan hugged Gu Jingheng tightly: "Will this be better?"

Suddenly, she was somewhat surprised. She looked down at Gu Jingheng and asked, "Gu Jingheng, can you hear me now?"

Gu Jingheng nodded, but his eyes were half open and he did not seem fully awake.

Nan Yuan looked at Gu Jingheng and saw that his lips were dry and chapped, his cheeks were red, and there were some beads of sweat on his forehead. He looked as if he was in great pain.

"Are you thirsty?"

What people with a fever need most is water. Once they become dehydrated, the consequences will be disastrous.

Gu Jingheng closed his eyes again, as if he didn't hear Nan Yuan's words. He just rubbed Nan Yuan's neck subconsciously, as if seeking warmth.

Seeing this, Nan Yuan unbuttoned her coat and put it on Gu Jingheng, while hugging him tightly.

She looked around, trying to find something to drink.

But there was nothing in the cave except trees and vines.

vine?

Nan Yuan seemed to have thought of something, but as soon as she moved, Gu Jingheng became uneasy and put his arm on her: "Don't go..."

"I won't leave." Nan Yuan gently patted the back of Gu Jingheng's hand to comfort him, then slowly pulled Gu Jingheng's hand down, stood up and walked to the vines.

Nan Yuan recognized this vine and confirmed that its juice was non-toxic, so she used a hairpin to cut off a piece of the vine.

A light transparent juice oozes out from the cuts on the vine.

She carefully placed the folded vine on her knees and twisted it hard, trying to squeeze out more juice.

However, the juice was unexpectedly scarce, with only a few drops falling into the stone groove that Nan Yuan had prepared in advance.

She had no choice but to cut off another piece and continue twisting and squeezing.

"Tick-tock-"

Transparent juice fell drop by drop, filling the bottom of the groove with the juice and causing ripples.

Nan Yuan frowned and felt anxious. There was too little juice.

But she also knew that these juices might be the only hope to save Gu Jingheng's life.

So she could only repeat the action of breaking the vines and squeezing out the juice.

After an unknown amount of time, her hands became bruised and battered from constant friction and squeezing, and her skin was scratched by the rough vines, revealing streaks of blood.

But she seemed not to feel any pain and just repeated these actions mechanically.

Time passed slowly as Nan Yuan persisted. Although her movements were more tired than before, the determination in her eyes never wavered.

"Tick-tock-"

The juice dripped into the groove, causing ripples.

I don’t know how long it took, but the groove was finally filled with juice.

Nan Yuan put down the vine in her hand, picked up the stone groove and brought the juice to Gu Jingheng.

Gu Jingheng was lying on the ground, his face pale and his breath weak.

Nan Yuan gently lifted up Gu Jingheng's head and slightly pinched his mouth open.

She carefully poured the squeezed juice into his mouth, one sip, two sips, three sips... Her heartbeat quickened as the juice decreased.

I saw Gu Jingheng's throat moving, as if he was swallowing the juice.

Nan Yuan's eyes became nervous and expectant, and she carefully poured all the juice into Gu Jingheng's mouth.

But the juice was soon finished, and Gu Jingheng's lips were still pale and chapped.

"water……"

Gu Jingheng's consciousness was already a little confused, his mouth opened and closed, as if he was saying he was thirsty.

Nan Yuan quickly got up and ran to the cave, wanting to continue cutting down vines, but most of the vines had already been broken by Nan Yuan, and the remaining number was pitifully small, and not much juice could be squeezed out of them.

Nan Yuan turned her head and looked at the semi-conscious Gu Jingheng, that's all!

She gritted her teeth and decided to go for it.

Nan Yuan squatted on the spot and cut her left palm with a hairpin. The bright red blood flowed down her fingers and dripped into the groove.

The blood flowed much faster than the juice was squeezed out. After a while, a small bowl of blood accumulated in the groove, bright and eye-catching.

"Gu Jingheng." Nan Yuan pinched Gu Jingheng's cheeks, trying to make him drink the blood.

But as soon as he put it in his mouth, Gu Jingheng immediately frowned, as if he was unwilling to drink the blood.

"It's already this time, can you please stop picking?" There was some impatience in Nan Yuan's voice.

I don’t know if it was because of what he heard Nan Yuan, but Gu Jingheng’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and then he slowly opened his eyes.

"You..." Gu Jingheng raised his head and looked at Nan Yuan with some surprise.

He felt the salty-sweet taste in his mouth, and looking at Nan Yuan's palm that was still dripping with blood, he understood what was going on.

He struggled to sit up.

However, before he could sit up, Nan Yuan came up to him and said in surprise: "You're awake, that's good!"

It’s good that he’s awake. Once he wakes up, you don’t have to worry about him not being able to drink the blood.

"Hurry up, drink it first. If it's not enough, I'll get you more." Nan Yuan said as she was about to put the blood in the groove into Gu Jingheng's mouth.

Gu Jingheng was not willing to drink it. In this situation, if Nan Yuan really lost too much blood, he would have no way to save her.

"It's already this time, stop being so pretentious." Seeing that he didn't drink, Nan Yuan became anxious and forcefully poured the blood into his mouth.

Gu Jingheng had no strength due to the high fever and was caught off guard, so he was actually forced to drink a few mouthfuls of blood.

He clenched his teeth and refused to open his mouth.

Nan Yuan watched the blood flowing down in vain, so she could only stop her hand and said angrily: "Gu Jingheng!"

Gu Jingheng forced himself to stand up and looked at Nan Yuan, his brows tinged with anger: "Nan Yuan, are you crazy?

Don’t you know what time it is now? If you… well…”

Before Gu Jingheng could finish his words, Nan Yuan raised her head, drank a mouthful of blood, held it in her mouth, moved towards him fiercely, and blocked his mouth.

Nan Yuan's lips were icy cold with a hint of salty taste. Gu Jingheng felt his whole body tremble. He didn't understand why Nan Yuan kissed him at this time, but his body responded to her subconsciously.

Nan Yuan felt Gu Jingheng open his mouth and passed all the blood into his mouth.

Her movements were not skillful, even a little clumsy, but fortunately, all the blood was transferred in.

Gu Jingheng's Adam's apple rolled and he swallowed the blood in her mouth.

He realized belatedly what he had just done and felt angry and annoyed.

But before he could say anything, Nan Yuan said disdainfully: "What a hassle."
