The Eldest Princess

Chapter 11

Just as the two siblings stared at each other, neither willing to speak first, Chan Yu had already finished cleaning Xuan Fusang. After careful examination, she quickly said, "Your Highness, there is some residual poison in the wound. It may hurt for a while after applying medicine to remove the poison."

Xuan Ruichen's attention was immediately drawn to her. Just as he was about to stand up and look at her wound, she reached out and grabbed him, stopping him. She didn't want him to look at it again, so as not to arouse his emotions, and she felt that she had done the right thing.

Chanyu applied the medicine very skillfully and quickly, but Xuan Fusang still trembled in pain, and his grip on his hand tightened a little, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Her series of reactions caused Xuan Ruichen's tears to fall uncontrollably one by one, hitting Xuan Fusang's hands and her heart, melting the barriers she had built.

Xuan Fusang told himself that he couldn't let him go like this, but her body went against her will and he couldn't help but soften her voice, "I'm fine, the wound just looks a little scary, but it's not a serious injury."

She was obviously in pain, but she still spoke gentle words to comfort him. After hearing that, Xuan Ruichen cried even harder.

He suddenly thought of the conversation he had with his father.

"You can always trust your sister. Do you know why?"

"Because we are siblings with the same father and mother." His answer at that time was very certain. Is there any relationship in this world that is stronger than blood relationship?

The response he got was beyond his expectations. A trace of disappointment flashed across his father's eyes. He shook his head and said in a low voice, "No."

"We are not biological siblings from the same father and mother!" At that moment, he felt a panic in his heart, as if the unique and eternal bond connecting him and his royal sister in the past and future suddenly disappeared.

His father, who had a serious face at the time, was amused by his innocent reaction and said with a smile: "You are siblings, but this is only one of the reasons. The more important reason is not this."

Then, his father straightened his expression and looked deeply into his eyes, obviously expecting him to give the correct answer. But he didn't understand at all at that time, "Why is that?"

"It's because her life and death depend on yours." The father sighed and said slowly: "Your sister cherishes her life very much, so she will never let you die, provided that you don't hurt her."

"How could I possibly hurt my sister?" Although he didn't understand the deep meaning at the time, he immediately asked back in disbelief when he heard the last sentence.

After hearing his words, the father smiled again, "So, I say, you can always trust your sister."

Now he is no longer as naive as he was back then, he has already vaguely known that the reason why the emperor sister treats him so well is not just because they are siblings. But he doesn't think there is anything wrong with this.

Many examples in the book and around him made him understand that blood ties are actually not reliable and interest relationships are even more changeable.

So he thought that the close blood relationship mixed with the shared interests of life and death might make the family relationship between them even stronger.

But this strong relationship made him a little angry at this moment. Even if his life and death were important, did she have to get hurt for him? This was not what he wanted to see at all. He wanted to secure the throne in order to better protect her.
