467 I will take responsibility
Seeing that he was gradually falling asleep, Mother Xiao heaved a sigh of relief.
She removed his hand that was holding her.
However, as soon as she took it away, he frowned and hugged her again.
Mother Xiao remained silent.
If it wasn’t for the fact that she was sure that this guy wasn’t pretending, she would have blown his head off.
She touched his burning forehead and could only accept her fate.
She had already saved his life, so she couldn’t let his condition worsen.
She poured some more water and wet the handkerchief, then placed it on his forehead.
She wanted to go out and pick some firewood to keep him warm, but he held her tightly and did not let go.
It was difficult for her to break free, so she could only take the initiative to rub his cold hands to increase his warmth.
She felt that he was sleeping more soundly, and the temperature on her head did not seem to be so hot anymore.
She fell asleep in a daze.
The next day, the sky was slightly bright.
Liang Yulin slowly woke up and found himself hugging Mother Xiao tightly, his forehead resting on her shoulder.
He widened his eyes and immediately let go as if his hands were burning.
The moment she moved, the handkerchief on her forehead fell to her body.
He also vaguely remembered that he had suddenly felt very cold last night and had been looking for a source of heat.
After feeling that he was hugging something warm, soft and fragrant, he couldn’t bear to let go and hugged it tightly.
He had always thought that he was dreaming, but he did not expect that he had taken the initiative to hold Xiao Hanzheng’s mother.
Then, he recalled that in his sleep, someone kept rubbing his hands and changing a cold handkerchief on his forehead, which made him feel comfortable and allowed him to sleep well.
It seemed like she had been taking care of him the entire night.
Liang Yulin had never been taken care of like this before, especially when he was running for his life.
Looking at Mother Xiao’s peaceful sleeping face, he was lost in thought.
The impression she gave him was that she wasn’t very brave, but she always did unexpected things.
For example, in the capital, when she first saw Xiao Yuanshi, she was very nervous and even a little scared.
However, under the influence of her daughter-in-law, Shi Qingluo, she suddenly had the courage to not only hit Xiao Yuanshi, but also give him a good scolding.
Also, that day in the forest, her expression with hatred and anger when she met Xiao Yuanshi was quite funny.
What surprised him even more was what happened after he met her here.
She had actually been running away with him on her back.
Even though she might be caught up by those men of sacrifice and killed together, she had not given up on him.
If she were any other woman, she would have left him unconscious and ran away by herself.
But she didn’t.
She endured her fear and nervousness and escaped with him, relying on her strong willpower to hold on.
In fact, when she put him down to look for water, he noticed that her legs were trembling when she walked, which meant that it was hard for her to run while carrying him.
He had mixed feelings in his heart.
Especially since he had actually taken advantage of his savior.
The tips of his ears turned red again as he recalled the soft and warm feeling from yesterday.
At this moment, perhaps because she was being watched, Mother Xiao also opened her eyes and woke up.
Seeing that Prince Yi was staring at her, Mother Xiao’s face turned red.
It was mainly because a man and a woman were alone in the cave, and he had hugged her tightly last night, making her a little embarrassed.
“You had a fever last night. Are you feeling better now?” she asked.
She was not going to tell him about how he had hugged her last night to avoid the awkwardness.
Although last night’s situation was excusable, she was a divorced woman, this was not good for their reputations.
She could only pretend that nothing had happened.
If this happened in the past, Mother Xiao would definitely be helplessly lost.
She actually lost her innocence and might even want to die.
However, after being brainwashed and influenced by Shi Qingluo for such a long time, Mother Xiao didn’t think much of it.
She only felt that it was good to be alive.
Liang Yulin smiled. “It’s still a little hot, but it’s much better.”
Due to the wound on his back and the heat, his body was actually a little weak.
Mother Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s good that you’re feeling better.
“Let’s rest for a while and continue to find a way down the mountain. My son should have brought his people to find us.”
Therefore, those people who were chasing him might have left.
Even if they didn’t leave, she wouldn’t feel scared if her son brought people to look for him.
She had complete trust in her eldest son and daughter-in-law.
She felt that they were especially powerful and could not be defeated by anything.
Liang Yulin nodded. “Alright!”
Mother Xiao stood up and moved her numb body.
Liang Yulin thought for a while. “Regarding that, I’ll take responsibility.”
Mother Xiao’s body stiffened, and she was somewhat speechless.
She had already pretended not to know, so why did this person bring it up?
She turned to look at Prince Yi and said, “Although I saved your life, you don’t have to marry me.”
Liang Yulin was stunned at first, then he laughed. “I’m not talking about saving my life. I’m talking about last night.
“We’ve had intimate contact, so I’ll take the responsibility,” he said firmly.
He didn’t hate Mother Xiao.
On the contrary, he found her interesting. When he was with her, he had a leisurely and comfortable feeling.
So, he didn’t reject marrying her and make her his princess consort.
It just so happened that his mother and imperial brother had been urging him to get married, and they wanted him to bring a princess consort back from the northern border.
This time, he could bring her back.
When Mother Xiao heard this, her expression changed.
Not only did he not feel happy, but she also couldn’t help but reach out and hit Liang Yulin’s shoulder a few times.
She said in a flustered and fierce tone, “I saved you, but you actually tried to harm me. How can you be so evil!”
She had never thought of remarrying.
If the news spread that she had a physical relationship with Prince Yi and he had to take responsibility for her, her reputation would be ruined.
She didn’t care about all this now, but she was afraid that it would ruin her son and daughter’s reputation.
Liang Yulin was dumbfounded.
The woman who had been as gentle as a rabbit had suddenly turned into a tigress.
She thought that the little rabbit would really bite when it was anxious.
He immediately explained, “I didn’t harm you. I just want to take responsibility.
Mother Xiao glared at him. “I don’t want you to take responsibility for me, and I won’t be your concubine.
With Prince Yi’s status, if he had to be responsible for her, she would be carried on the Chinese palanquin into the backyard to be a concubine.
She didn’t want to be bound to the backyard anymore. She was living very well now.
Seeing that she had misunderstood, Liang Yulin said, “Not as a concubine, but as a consort.
“I don’t have any mistress in my backyard.”
After some thought, he added, “Not even concubines or anyone else that I have shared a room with before.”
Mother Xiao was stunned. She obviously didn’t expect that Prince Yi, a prince, not only didn’t have a princess consort, but there were also no other women in his backyard.
She was thinking that this prince wouldn’t have any good problems, right?
“You have a hidden illness?”
Liang Yulin’s face darkened. “You’ll know if I have any hidden illness after you marry me.”
When Mother Xiao heard this, her face turned red. She was angry and embarrassed.
She couldn’t help but hit him a few more times. “You’re shameless. Who wants to marry you? ”
After that, she glared at him fiercely. “Shut up. You’re not allowed to mention this again.”
She didn’t care about being a princess consort. Who wanted to marry him? Hmph!
