He Lianhuang was going to kill her. No. She didn’t want to die. She was still pregnant with Brother Jin’s child. She could still make a comeback. She just needed to wait until September arrived. When the Shang Institution reopened, she would be able to contact her master. With her master around, she could finally pay back all her grievances to Feng Tianlan.
He Lianhuang’s hand stopped before it grabbed her. He glanced at her coldly and retracted his hand. “Since Xi Jin said that he would give you a good ending, I will believe him. You should die at his hands instead of mine.”
He turned around and left after saying those words. He was sick of listening to her threats and instigations.
Shen Yunya was the most disgusting person he had ever met in his life!
Xi Jin raised his head and glanced at He Lianhuang who just came out. He glanced back at the dilapidated room and looked sideways at Rui’er, who was retracting her head in fear. “Go get the imperial physician for some anti-miscarriage medicine to prevent her from miscarrying.”
“Yes,” Rui’er replied. She retreated.
He Lianhuang’s eyes met Xi Jin’s. He spoke to him in his usual tone, “Xi Jin, we were once brothers. No matter what feelings we have towards Dai’er, I hope that you can give her an explanation for this. After all, we watched her grow up and pampered her.”
“Of course. You, on the other hand, are spending most of your time in my Dongshu Nation even though you’re the emperor of Xi Yuan Nation. Aren’t you afraid that your position might be snatched away?” Xi Jin raised her head. His gentleness had disappeared.
He Lianhuang frowned slightly when he met that cold gaze. “I wanted to meet Zhaoyang. I need to fight for her hand.”
Xi Jin sneered, “Just give up on that.”
He Lianhuang was following right behind him as they left the palace.
Rui’er delivered the anti-miscarriage medicine. She was brought to the East Palace by the eunuch. She bowed when she saw Xi Jin, who was sitting in the seat of honor. “Crown Prince.”
Although he was a Crown Prince, she always found him to be as gentle as a jade. Despite being royalty, he didn’t instill fear but respect in people. However, when she saw the Crown Prince today, she felt as though his gentleness had evaporated completely. It was as if he was the second Demon King, which made her feel scared.
“I heard that there is a man called ‘Brother Qi’ who is currently with Feng Tianlan?” Xi Jin spoke slowly.
Rui’er raised her head abruptly and looked at Xi Jin. She kneeled immediately and spoke in a trembling voice, “Crown Prince…”
“It is easy for me to find out what’s going on. Tianlan will fulfill her promise to let him go. However, I still have a lot of doubts that need to be cleared up by you.”
“Crown Prince…I… Please just kill me, Crown Prince.” Rui’er was shivering when she heard threats in Xi Jin’s words. She was on the verge of crying.
“You will die, and he will die too. I am very kind. I will fulfill both of your wishes.” Xi Jin’s voice was as cold as ever. She didn’t know when he had turned into a different man.
Rui’er was lying prostrate on the ground. She didn’t dare to cry out loud. Besides shivering, she had no other options.
Xi Jin looked at her coldly. “You just have to tell me what you know. If you tell me whatever you told Tianlan, I won’t lay a finger on him.”
Rui’er raised her head and looked at him with eyes filled with tears. She spoke in a trembling voice while looking at the cold Xi Jin who had no trace of gentleness left, “Yes.”
She had no choice but to betray her miss once more for the sake of Brother Qi. She really was letting her miss and her own conscience down. However, she had no choice.
Xi Jin listened to what Rui’er said quietly. Then, he squinted his eyes dangerously. “You said Shen Yunya fed both Jiang Ying and I bewitching elixirs?”
“Yes,” Rui’er replied.
Xi Jin replied with a ‘huh’. Then, he asked, “Are you done? Or are you still hiding something from me?”
