Chapter 115 Tooth Marks

Chapter 115 Tooth Marks

Shen Nanzi felt a cool sensation on her right shoulder. She didn't know when her thin outer garment had shifted, revealing her snow-white shoulder.

His lips landed on her, the warm touch sending chills down her spine.

My body was trembling violently, and my fear was gradually increasing, with my anxiety growing infinitely.

He didn't bite her; the touch gradually increased in intensity... The sensation spread from that spot, as if he wanted to devour her completely.

As her thoughts gradually returned, the thought that he had shamelessly tried to humiliate her in the carriage sent a rush of blood to Shen Nanzi's head, and she frantically tried to break free.

His arms tightened, and his long legs forcefully pinned her lower limbs in place.

Then came his kisses and his kisses, and her bare shoulders became his territory, where he lingered, reluctant to leave.

His confinement became a comfort, soothing her fear and unease, as if to lead her into endless love affairs.

Suddenly, his shoulder sank, and unexpectedly, sharp teeth embedded themselves into his flesh and bone.

The pain, like an electric shock, shot through her bone marrow and spread everywhere, making her body stiffen. Her fingertips dug into the blankets in the carriage, turning her knuckles white.

"ah!"

Shen Nanzi couldn't help but let out a painful scream.

Qinghe, sitting outside, frantically tried to pry open the car door. The scene before her left her in a dilemma, unsure of what to do.

His own princess was pinned down in the carriage by Prince Jing, who leaned down and buried his head in his princess's neck.

It looked like they were fighting, but it also looked like they were... doing something indescribable.

Qinghe leaned more towards the latter, because Princess Jing's clothes had slipped off her shoulder.

She immediately closed the carriage curtain and covered her pounding chest.

Should she intervene or not?

Then, a suppressed groan was heard from Princess Jing.

...They were undoubtedly having an affair.

Qinghe covered her ears, her face flushed, and dared not listen anymore.

Inside the carriage, Shen Nanzi's body trembled, her chest heaving violently.

Beads of sweat glistened on his forehead, and he stared at Xie Yan with bloodshot eyes.

He raised his head, his eyes reddening, his fierce expression carrying an unreadable emotion.

His lips were stained with bright red blood, like a bloodthirsty demon.

He looked at her once snow-white and rounded shoulders, which were now a mess, with wet marks from kisses.

There were also shocking teeth marks, and blood oozed from the wound, gradually blurring the teeth marks.

There was a hidden heartache in her eyes; a kiss would make her forget, but this mark would make her remember him for a lifetime.

lifetime!

He landed contentedly beside her, pressing her against his chest once more, letting the swaying of the carriage alleviate the pain in his chest.

Shen Nanzi pressed her face against his warm chest, glanced down at the spot where he had bitten her, gritted her teeth, and thought, "He really is vengeful!"

If she takes a bite, he will bite back.

She realized that she had just misunderstood him and thought he was going to do something inappropriate to her; it turned out that he had done it on purpose.

Thank you, dog!

Inside the Prince Jing's residence, Xie Yan removed the black brocade, revealing her broad shoulders and narrow waist.

The lines are sharp and the blocks are distinct. A closer look reveals numerous, crisscrossing scars.

On his taut chest, there was a stark tooth mark, the blood now congealed, some of it blackened and clinging to the severed flesh.

Stone was astonished. "Your Highness, I'll go get you the medicine powder."

"It's nothing! Just a minor scratch."

Xie Yan thought of Shen Nanzi, so delicate, sweating profusely from the pain in the carriage.

"Give a bottle of pain-relieving medicine to Princess Jing."

Stone was somewhat puzzled, but he still obeyed the order and left.

As soon as Shen Nanzi returned to the courtyard, she had someone serve her a bath. Xie Yan acted as if he were sick, holding her all the way.

The hot weather, coupled with the pain in my shoulder, made me feel unwell all over.

After taking a bath, Shen Nanzi left her shoulders bare, not daring to touch her wounds.

When the aunt saw this, she was startled, thinking that she had been seduce by a lecherous man.

"Who the hell dares to insult the Princess?"

"Grandma, don't be afraid, it's Prince Jing."

Upon hearing Shen Nanzi's words, Auntie's heart, which had been hanging in her throat, finally settled down.

Then, with pity, she said, "Prince Jing is too ruthless!"

He is not a good man.

"This old servant will go and get you the medicine powder."

As the aunt was speaking, she went to the outer room. At that moment, a maid came to report.

"Aunt, this is a medicinal powder sent by His Highness Prince Jing."

The aunt looked at her suspiciously, "You hurt someone, and then you give them a sweet treat?"

Shen Nanzi listened to the conversation outside.

"Auntie, throw away his medicine powder."

Before Shi Tou even left the courtyard, he heard Princess Jing's order and wanted to go back and tell her.

This powder is the best medicine for wounds, containing analgesic ingredients, and is extremely rare.

Even their prince was reluctant to use it, so he brought the whole bottle over.

Stone stormed back to the courtyard and told Xie Yan what had happened.

Xie Yan remained silent; she didn't believe him.

Who told him to bite her so viciously! He made their already broken relationship even worse.

But he didn't regret it; he was afraid she would forget him.

The weather is relatively cool on the day of the summer festival.

In the central courtyard in front of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, officials stood solemnly, the atmosphere serious, with only their robes fluttering in the wind.

The bronze tripod emitted a blazing fire, and the aroma of incense and candles filled the entire Imperial Ancestral Temple.

Inside the main hall, the bronze bell rang loudly, the sound of which could be heard for miles around.

Then, the sound of the jade chime arose, unlike the deep and resonant sound of the bronze bell, it was crisp, melodious, and lingering.

It seems to be a tribute to the ancestors.

Those of royal lineage stood below the hall, holding prayer texts and chanting blessings in unison.

The women stood on either side, heads bowed.

On the dragon throne, the emperor listened with his eyes closed.

The sacrificial ceremony lasted for most of the day, and many women and children could no longer endure it.

After the most important part was over, many people quietly relaxed and let the children go out to play.

Cheng'er had been standing all day and was parched, so Shen Nanzi had Qinghe take him to his aunt.

She remained there, waiting for the ritual to completely end.

About half an hour later, Shen Nanzi received a message from her maid that her aunt and Cheng'er had disappeared.

Qinghe hadn't seen them along the way and was searching everywhere.

Shen Nanzi was somewhat flustered; Cheng'er was her lifeblood.

At such times, when everyone's attention is focused on the sacrificial ceremony, it is indeed a good opportunity for those with ulterior motives to make their move.

The Imperial Ancestral Temple was grand and elaborate, standing in distant view of the Imperial Palace.

If an elderly person and a child are lost, that's fine, but if they are actually kidnapped, they won't know which direction to search for.

Shen Nanzi deduced from her aunt's habits that in such hot weather, she would definitely take Cheng'er to a cool place.

The sacrificial ceremony was almost over, and she could come out at any time; her great-aunt certainly wouldn't have gone far.

Moreover, she had instructed Qinghe to take good care of Cheng'er. Why did she separate from them?

Shen Nanzi, dressed in the plain clothes of a sacrificial ceremony, searched among the various halls.

Finally, they asked a group of guards on the imperial road, and they said they saw an old man and a child heading south.

The group of five soldiers all said they had seen it.

Auntie and Cheng'er won't get lost, they must have gone to the palace!

At this moment, Shen Nanzi didn't care whether they were lying or not. After repeatedly confirming, she lifted her skirt and headed towards the palace.

She searched and asked along the way, and after about half an hour, she returned to the palace.

This is the north gate of the palace, reserved for the royal family. She has a talisman, and Cheng'er also has a talisman, allowing them to pass through without hindrance.

After Shen Nanzi entered the North Gate, she asked the guards, who said that Cheng'er had indeed returned to the palace and headed towards the stone bridge.

Shen Nanzi had no idea who Cheng'er was looking for here.

As she ran, she seemed to see the figures of two women in the covered walkway, but Shen Nanzi didn't have time to look closely.

He then ran towards the Hall of Harmony and Joy.
