Chapter 49 – You Will Be My Only Exception

Naturally, that butler also exchanged a few pleasantries before finally sending Ji Yunhao off.

That maid was still rolling around on the ground in pain, and she had screamed so much her voice became hoarse.

“Guards, throw her out!” The butler ordered the maid to be dragged out like a dead dog.

Although that maid was still alive, without the antidote to cure the whip’s poison, she would be destined to suffer a miserable life of pain until death could seize her…

With an example having been made, the maids in the crown prince’s residence became more cautious and conscientious. No one dared to speak more freely than they were allowed to.

……

Ning Xuemo was injured on her back, arm, and shoulder.

The injuries on her arm and shoulder were easy to deal with. She could apply the medication on those by herself. However, the injuries on her back would require someone else’s aid. Furthermore, she would have to take off her top…

Ning Xuemo took the pill bottle from Ji Yunhuang, looking at his indifferent face while he was sitting by the side of the bed. “Is Your Highness not going to go outside or turn around?”

Ji Yunhuang’s eyes smiled. “There’s no need. I always see matters through to the end.”

‘Was he doing it on purpose?!’

Ning Xuemo secretly clenched her teeth. “I need to apply the medicine.”

“Okay, apply it.”

Ning Xuemo said, “…Then, may I ask your Highness to call a maid to help me apply the medicine on the wound on my back.”

“I have never allowed any woman to enter my sleeping quarters. At most only the shadow guard can enter. You want him to apply the medicine for you?” Ji Yunhuang raised his brow.

“…Your Highness, there is an exception to everything. I’m female too. Doesn’t this count as letting a woman in? Since Your Highness has already made an exception once, couldn’t you do so a second time?”

Ji Yunhuang glanced at her. “If there’s a first, there’s a second. If there’s a second, there’s a third. Hence, I have decided that in order to avoid the third exception, I will not make a second exception. You will be my only exception.”

‘Only one your head!’
