Mercenary Princess - Chapter 150
Just as she was about to turn and leave, her eyes swept across the grass, and a familiar, long-lost object caught her eye, startling her!
She hurried closer, knelt down, and turned his face over. Instantly, everything changed; Rongyue's vision went black, and she cried out, "Quickly, carry him back! Hurry—"
My back is burning with pain.
Long eyelashes fluttered gently as she struggled to open her sore eyes. After a few seconds of blurred vision, the scene before her gradually became clear...
"Ah?!" With a terrified scream, he jumped out of bed and, as if he had seen something horrifying, stumbled and staggered as he fled frantically towards the door.
"You?" She sprinted to block his path, grabbed his arm, and said unhappily, "Have you seen a ghost? Why are you running!"
"Sister, sister, I will never dare to appear in front of you again. I'll leave right now, I'll leave right now!"
"Dongfang Yao, what are you pretending to be stupid for!?"
"Sister, please don't gouge out my eyes! I'll never do it again! I didn't mean to appear in front of you, I really didn't mean to!" Hu Hu looked at Rong Yue's unfriendly face with fear and trembling, his shaking becoming more and more violent: "Don't gouge out my eyes, sister, I was wrong, please let me go..."
My heart was clenching in waves, the pain so intense it felt like my internal organs were twisting and contorting.
He was so thin he was practically skin and bones. If she hadn't been so familiar with his face from two lifetimes, she would have found it hard to connect someone so thin he was practically skin and bones with that elegant and handsome young nobleman.
How could that person be so cruel as to torture him like this...
A layer of morning mist clouded her eyes, and her hand slowly caressed his deeply sunken eye sockets. Looking into the deep fear in his eyes, Rongyue's nose tingled with emotion.
"Your injuries haven't healed yet, go back and lie down."
He looked at Rongyue like a startled deer, his eyes still wary, glancing furtively at the doorway from time to time, trying to escape at the first opportunity.
"Be good, or your sister will get angry!"
Hearing the threatening words, his legs trembled. Although unwilling, he obediently went to the bed, quietly lay down on it, and closed his eyes to rest as Rongyue had told him. But his trembling eyelashes betrayed his unease.
"Gouwa's mother, the porridge is here..." Aunt Liu walked in from outside the door, carrying a bowl of cooked millet porridge.
"Give it to me." Taking the steaming porridge, Rongyue told Aunt Liu to go do other things while she gently stirred the porridge in the bowl with a spoon to cool it down faster.
The aroma of the porridge wafted into his nose, his stomach rumbled impatiently, and his throat bobbed up and down, but he remained lying there motionless, not daring to move an inch.
His appearance broke her heart.

She scooped up a spoonful of porridge, blew on it to cool it, and brought it to his lips: "Drink it."
With Rongyue's permission, he quickly opened his mouth and took a mouthful of porridge, sucking hard on the spoonful so hard that he could almost suck the whole spoon into his stomach.
"Good boy, open your mouth."
Reluctantly spitting out the spoon, he secretly opened his eyes a crack, staring longingly at the porridge in Rongyue's hand.
He scooped up another spoonful, blew on it, and put it in his mouth again...
The bowl of porridge was quickly emptied.
Seeing that Dongfang Yao still looked like he hadn't had enough, Rongyue gently patted his head: "Good boy, listen to me, go to sleep first, and I'll give you some more to eat after you've finished sleeping."
He didn't doubt Rongyue's words at all. He obediently closed his eyes; at this moment, the fear in his eyes had lessened, replaced by a sense of peace…
Upon hearing his even breathing, Rongyue tucked the blanket around him, picked up the porcelain bowl, and tiptoed out.
Walking into the courtyard, Rongyue stared at the bowl and spoon in her hand, recalling Dongfang Yao's hungry appearance just now. Suddenly, she raised her hand and slammed the bowl and spoon down hard on the marble slab, her almond-shaped eyes filled with an unusual, bloodthirsty frenzy!
No wonder Tuoba Chen wanted to tear 'her' apart, and even she wanted to cut him into a thousand pieces!
She was absolutely certain that Dongfang Yao's current state was definitely related to 'her'!
What kind of woman is this? Is she a viper?
If she hadn't returned, if he hadn't seen her, would he have spent his entire life in the mountains, living among animals, a wild man for the rest of his life?! Or worse, feeding on wild beasts, just like he is today?!
What a vicious woman! How cruel she is!
After resting for half a month, Dongfang Yao finally recovered a little. Her body was much better, and her mind was no longer as tense and dazed as before. She also gradually relaxed.
But Rongyue realized that he really did seem to have gone mad again...
Do you know who you are?
He shook his head blankly.
Do you know who your imperial brother is?
He shook his head blankly again.
"Then...do you remember...your wife?"
A look of confusion flashed in his eyes, and then he shook his head, still puzzled.
How did you get here?
"Didn't my sister bring me here...?"
"Where did you come from?"
"On the street."
"From the moment you arrived here, did she... your sister just abandon you in the mountains?"
