Xiao Jinxing was visibly tense.
He quickly looked at the spot Bai Mowan was covering with her hand, as if blood had seeped through.
Xiao Jinxing scooped Bai Mowan into his arms in one swift motion.
Bai Mowan leaned into Xiao Jinxing's embrace comfortably.
Despite this, pain still caused her body to tremble slightly.
She knew that the wound on her abdomen must have reopened.
In the moment of tormenting Xie Ruiyao, her hatred and desire for retribution made her completely disregard her own physical condition. As she forcefully stabbed Xie Ruiyao time and time again, she also caused her own wound to tear, but because she was intent on vengeance, she paid it no heed. Now, having ridden back to the Imperial Palace and infuriated Zhao Mengyu with her sarcastic remarks, the pain in her wound grew worse. When she pressed her hand against it, she felt a hint of moisture.
It seemed that blood had indeed oozed out.
