Concubine to conquer the world

Chapter 373 Just a Bodyguard
In the room, Han Mu gently placed Xia Qingxin by the table and sat down.

With the light in the room, he could see her red and swollen side face more clearly.

Feeling distressed, he left a sentence: "Go down and get the medicine for the empress."

Before Xia Qingxin could stop her, Han Mu turned her head and walked out.

Seeing such a man worrying about her, Xia Qingxin felt a little better and felt a little warmth.

The damage he suffered in Nanye's dormitory just now has diminished, and he feels less sad in his heart.

Soon, Han Mu returned, holding a bottle of ointment in his hand.

After closing the door, he sat down beside Xia Qingxin, and gently applied the white ointment to her side face.

The ointment stuck to the skin, sending a touch of coldness, but Xia Qingxin felt warm in her heart.

Han Mu was very close to her, she could feel his breath passing over her cheek, and she could smell his body fragrance as he got closer.

From the corner of her eye, she glanced at the simple but clean room.

All of a sudden, I was surprised at how meticulously this man cleaned himself up.

The bottom of my heart's view on Han Mu has changed a bit.

If his background was any better, he would definitely be a favorite among the noble ladies in Kyoto.

The ointment slowly rubbed onto her red and swollen face through Han Mu's fingertips. Even though Han Mu's movements were very careful, the pain mixed with the cold still made Xia Qingxin choke in her throat again and again.

Xia Qingxin looked at Han Mu's serious and meticulous expression, and she smiled bitterly.

A man beat her mercilessly just now, and another man healed her wound meticulously.
This seems too ironic, but I have to admit that God is still kind to her, leaving such a person by her side who can warm her.

When Han Mu was about to retract his arm after applying the ointment, Xia Qingxin suddenly put his arms around his neck.

She asked, "Do you like me?"

Han Mu froze his movements, and also froze every nerve in his body.

It took a long time for him to look away from Xia Qingxin's intertwined eyes, and looked away in a panic.

"The subordinates are just... just doing their duty to take care of the empress"

Xia Qingxin raised her lips and smiled, bringing her face closer.

"You're worried about me, I can see it in your eyes."

The bottom of Han Mu's heart was trembling violently, and he said incoherently: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty's face is hurt very much. The woman's face is... yes. It is very important to a woman. My subordinates are anxious about my mother's concern. Taking care of my mother is a must. The duty of subordinates..."

Seeing Han Mu dodging, Xia Qingxin moved closer to him, almost pressing her cheek against his.

"Just now you pulled me into your arms so tightly, is this also your duty?"

Hearing this, Han Mu shifted his gaze to her face again to meet her gaze.

His face flushed red to the ears.

He faltered and said: "Your Majesty couldn't stand upright just now, and my subordinates are afraid that your Majesty will accidentally fall again."

Xia Qingxin tapped the tip of his nose lightly with her lips.

"lie."

"Since you don't admit that you like me, then I won't force you to admit it. One day, you will admit it."

"In the future, don't call me your empress in private, call me Xin'er, call me now and listen."

Han Mu's face became hotter and hotter.

He pulled the corner of his mouth and wanted to call out those two words tentatively, but after a long time of deliberation, he still didn't have the courage.

He has deeply remembered the words of respect and distinction since he was with the prince.

He tried his best to restrain the stirring emotions in his heart, and told himself to be rational.

The one in front of him was the princess, not a woman he could expect.

He's just a bodyguard
