"My lady, it's me."
"You're hurt?"
The acrid smell of blood instantly banished all of Ji Xiaosong's drowsiness.
"None of this blood is mine."
Ji Xiaosong didn't believe him and made Xiao Shen strip down completely so she could examine him carefully.
Only after confirming that Xiao Shen had no wounds did she finally let out a long sigh of relief, her taut nerves relaxing.
"Thank goodness you're alright. You really scared me."
Ji Xiaosong's voice trembled slightly, and the rims of her eyes were a little red.
"Weren't you at the camp outside the city? Why did you suddenly come home?"
"The Second Prince has been so brazen with his insults. I had to teach him a lesson and make him give up on any ideas he might have."
"You have your plans, so I'm not worried. But there's one thing. You are my husband and the father of our four children. I want you to be a little more afraid of dying. You need to stay alive to be our pillar of support."
