Masquerade in Bridal Attire and Marry the Prince

33. She Is a He

It was too dark, and Du Chuxuan didn’t see Yuxing Tianrui’s scarlet red ears. Anyway, he was still too dizzy and uncomfortable at this moment.

Yuxing Tianrui swallowed, “Don’t think too much. I’m not trying to save you. I just didn’t want to expose my whereabouts because of you. Who cares about you?”

This was downright a lie the opposite of which was the truth. Du Chuxuan snorted inwardly. This tsundere boy. Admitting he was trying to save him was the right way to gain Du Chuxuan’s loyalty.

Too lazy to argue with him on this, he smartly grasped the key point in his words, “There were chasers?”

“Of course! You think you’re a fairy from heaven that they don’t want to get you even after you killed so many of their fellow soldiers?” Yuxing Tianrui grumbled. This person simply didn’t have anything like a woman.

But this wasn’t what in Du Chuxuan’s mind. Right now he was so pissed off at Ashina Yi that he wanted to tear him into pieces. He was his sect-brother! Was this a behavior of betraying the sect?

“Why are you sitting so far away? It’s cold at night. Probably we’ll have to cuddle to keep warm in sleep. Are you seducing me to approach you?” Shaking Ashina Yi off his mind, Du Chuxuan deliberately teased Yuxing Tianrui because the latter was sitting so seriously in nervousness.

“You’re so right, my princess. Did you save me from the siege just in order to gain my affection now?” Yuxing Tianrui knew this wasn’t true but still said it and pushed Du Chuxuan in bashful irritation.

However, the part he pushed happened to be a wound. He heard Du Chuxuan groan at once and then no more sound from her. This really scared Yuxing Tianrui. He quickly took out a lighter. He hadn’t done this earlier in order not to attract chasers, but now he had no other options.

The person in front of him obviously passed out from pain. Her face was full of misery. Yuxing Tianrui regretted. He shouldn’t have pushed her when he knew she was injured. She didn’t wake up after he tapped on her shoulder several times. Supposedly, she really passed out again.

Looking at Du Chuxuan’s pale face, he wondered whether his stupid hurtful words were heard. He regretted immediately after he said it, and now didn’t know what to do.

He had to admit that Du Chuyue was gorgeous. Such a gorgeous woman would have been a very beloved wife to any noble man.

Forget it. Now it was time to pay back. Yuxing Tianrui took a deep breath. Even though he hadn’t intended to marry Du Chuyue, her youthful years would be bound with him forever anyway. Moreover, she got wounded today to save him. Thinking of this, Yuxing Tianrui silently made a decision.

She saved his life, and he should repay with it. Yuxing Tianrui swore that he would never ever betray Du Chuyue. Then, he took off her clothes, without any moral pressure.

After the long hesitation, he could finally continue to do what wasn’t finished and reached out to her belt. After the first step, the next steps were much easier. He took with him a bottle of medicine for healing injuries. Ada had put it this morning in his sleeve pocket just in case.

Carefully taking off the armor and outer clothes, Yuxing Tianrui silently chanted mantras to calm down, hoping no one would know this. He was genuinely trying to save her!

Yuxing Tianrui took a deep breath and was about to apply the medicine on her, when his eyes were suddenly planted on Du Chuxuan’s chest.

What the hell?!What in heaven’s name did he see?! What kind of joke this was?!

He immediately understood why she had said that she was humiliated by the small breasts.

She wasn’t humiliated by the small breasts! Because she, no, he didn’t have breasts at all!

Then, the dubious monthly period and everything else came to light one by one.

Yuxing Tianrui sat there, expression changing in an unfathomable fashion. Even Ada, if he was here, couldn’t tell what was in his Prince’s mind.

Fortunately, Yuxing Tianrui had a strong willpower and managed to go on applying medicine calmly in such a crazy situation.

In the end, the male body made him more relaxed. Occasionally, he wiped out the blood stain on the body next to him. This lasted until late at night before he cleaned every wound on Du Chuxuan.

He appeared calm indeed, but his mind wasn’t peaceful at all!

After all, he was the Crown Prince of Shenglan, an identity second only to the emperor in this country. What’s more, he would ascend the throne someday. What did the Du family treat him as? It was alright if the eldest daughter was married, but how could they fool him with a man?

And the blood-stained handkerchief on the night of their wedding. Was it also a way that this man used to deceive him? Back then, Yuxing Tianrui had questioned himself harshly and really believed that he had been disloyal to his Qing.

Gritting his teeth, Yuxing Tianrui refrained hard not to kick Du Chuxuan out. He didn’t need to think to know the identity of this man lying on the ground.

Born on the same day as Du Chuyue, he was her twin brother. The twin sister and brother, regarded as auspicious, were known to many powerful figures in the capital. Otherwise, the Du family couldn’t have become an exclusive merchant to the imperial family.

The thought of this made him angrier. As long as he told this to father, there would be no place for the Du family in the capital. The crime of Deceiving the Emperor was enough to have the whole family sentenced to death!

At this moment, Du Chuxuan didn’t know how many times he had died in Yuxing Tianrui’s script. He was merely dizzy and felt everything was unreal.

He could sometimes feel himself but other times couldn’t. He suddenly went back to the Moon Brothel in the capital and had fun with the beautiful women. Suddenly, he went to the barracks and waited to be summoned by Yuxing Tianrui at any time.

He floated like this for a long time, until he felt thirsty, unbearably thirsty. He opened his mouth but wasn’t able to make a sound.

As the growing desire for water dominated his consciousness, he forced himself to open his eyes. At this moment, he felt at lose, as if everything was illusory, having no idea of what time it was or where he was.

“Water! I need water!”
