CHAPTER 1783: CHAPTER 1790: ZHAO GUI GETS INJURED (3)

"Your Majesty—Your Majesty—"

The guards finally caught up, shouting as they galloped toward Helan Hao. As Helan Hao heard the approaching guards, his wavering emotions suddenly cleared, remembering that she had been bitten by a snake and needed his help to treat the wound!

When the guards approached, he raised his hand to stop their voices and movements and continued to lower his head to remove her clothing. Seeing this, the guards hurriedly turned their bodies around, fell silent, and turned their faces away.

They were all men; they understood what the Emperor intended to do.

He untied her clothes, knelt beside her, and carefully examined her, not missing an inch.

Zhao Gui’s skin was exceptionally good. Since childhood, Jin Guifei wanted to cultivate a daughter far superior to the legitimate princess, so she instructed her to bathe daily with milk, adding rose petals, Bai Zhi, Ginseng, Poria, and other skin-nourishing substances. Over more than ten years, her skin had been nurtured to resemble that of a baby, dewy and tender, almost oozing water at a pinch!

Helan Hao wasn’t unfamiliar with women. Apart from Hanna, he had also slept with a few women gifted to him by subordinates for Filial Piety. Those women were considered beauties, yet compared to the woman before him, they were as different as heaven and earth!

Indeed, a princess is truly incomparable to daughters raised by those sluts.

Having finished inspecting the front, with no traces of snakebite, he then removed his own robe, laid it on the ground, and turned her over, carefully examining her back, yet there was still no trace of any bite.

The inspection process was grueling for him. Her porcelain-white, jade-like skin, the exquisite curves, and the faint fragrance emitted by her body quickly made him lose his composure. Just as he was planning to do something, he suddenly discovered on her inner thigh four tooth marks slightly larger than pinpricks, with a small amount of blood seeping from them, tinged with a purple-green hue.

Damned snake!

How could it have bitten there? How it managed to do so was beyond comprehension!

Seeing the snake-bitten jade leg, Helan Hao had no choice but to suppress his burning desire and help treat the wound.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

Hanna shouted, riding over on her horse.

Helan Hao raised his head, seeing Hanna charging toward him. He quickly grabbed Zhao Gui’s clothes and covered Zhao Gui’s naked body.

"Your Majesty, you said you would marry her only to form an alliance with Great Jin. You also promised my mother that in this lifetime, you would treat only me well. How could you do this to me!"

Hanna cried out, heartbroken.

She truly loved Helan Hao, loved him deeply. She would even die for him; she could let go of anything, but what she couldn’t let go of was Helan Hao’s heart for her.

Helan Hao, somewhat displeased with her publicly confronting him before the guards and servants, said, "The Queen Consort was bitten by a snake. I’m just helping her treat the wound. You’re overthinking!"
