Quick Wear: The Stunning Beauty is Forbidden to Be Pampered

Chapter 699 World 6: The Weak and Helpless Crown Princess (139)

"No one of you can leave!"

Sheng Changling hadn't expected Sheng Jin to show up here. The intelligence clearly stated that he was still stationed in Jiangnan. How could it be...

Ignoring his surprise, Sheng Changling protected Liu Lingxi firmly behind him, glaring fiercely at the newcomers with a vigilant look on his face.

what to do……

Xier, I can’t protect myself anymore.

There has never been a moment more despairing than this one.

Is there anything more painful than losing what you once had?

Sheng Changling would rather die than watch Xier fall into the arms of another man.

"Do not--"

"Sheng Jin, I'll go with you and release Sheng Changling."

Liu Lingxi shed her previous cowardice, grabbed Sheng Changling's hand, and pulled him back, as if to protect him.

"Xier~"

Sheng Changling was very satisfied with this answer. He thought that he had finally left a trace in Xier's heart. For this moment, his death was worth it.

He knew the principle that the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. If he failed, there was naturally no reason for him to survive.

As long as Xier isn't implicated, that's fine.

"Xi'er, you must protect yourself from now on. I can't go on with you."

Faced with Sheng Changling's words that were obviously a farewell, Liu Lingxi didn't know how to react. She had never been good at parting.

However, my eyes became more and more sore, and tears welled up unconsciously. I don’t know when, my vision became blurred.

But the situation is such that no one will let the enemy live, unless he wants to let the tiger go back to the mountains.

Isn’t Sheng Jin in front of us a living example?

Suddenly, a voice interrupted this beautiful scene. The person's voice was full of displeasure and an inexplicable sourness.

"Xi'er changes her heart so quickly."

"..."

Liu Lingxi still has some grudges towards Sheng Jin. After all, the way he got her was not very glorious.

She was not in a good mood during the time she spent with Sheng Jin, and had almost no good memories.

So when facing Sheng Jin at this moment, she couldn't help but feel insecure and a little timid.

"Sheng...Sheng Jin..."

"Come, take this traitor away, and the Queen will follow me."

Sheng Jin's secret guards appeared in unison and tied up everyone, including Empress Dowager Rong and Concubine Rong, and even the "Grand Emperor".

Jiang Wuyou didn't need to be kidnapped because she was already dead.

Sheng Jin thought, let’s end it all this this time.

So he gave the order to exterminate the Jiang family and the Rong family, leaving no one alive.

*

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

The situation here has changed drastically and is no longer what it was when he was in power.

There were some unfinished memorials on the desk. Sheng Jin took a look at them and then looked away without any interest.

He was more interested in the beautiful woman in front of him holding the child - Liu Lingxi.

"Sit down, Xier."

Sheng Jin looked at the slender woman in front of him with high eyebrows and a face as white as jade. He had a lot to say but didn't know where to start.

On the other hand, Liu Lingxi's expression changed from the previous gloomy look to one of calmness.

"Xi'er, long time no see."

"Yes, it's been a long time since we last met. I'm relieved to know you're doing well."

There was another moment of silence.

"Are you still willing to come back to me?"

Finally, Sheng Jin asked the question. This was something he had buried deep in his heart, and it was also the most tangled question along the way.

After asking this question, his grip on the cup suddenly tightened, and he didn't dare to take his eyes off the woman.

"Heh~"

Liu Lingxi didn't say anything this time. She chuckled sarcastically and lowered her head to hide her expression.

After waiting for a long time, just when Sheng Jin thought Liu Lingxi would continue to remain silent, Liu Lingxi finally spoke.

"Have you ever given me a chance to choose? You all disregarded my wishes, took things by force, and made me bear all the consequences. Why?!"

"Sheng Jin, didn't you ask me? I'm telling you, I don't want to. You can kill me or chop me up as you please."

After Liu Lingxi finished speaking, she suddenly stood up. However, because she stood up too quickly, her vision went dark and she fell straight forward.

The baby in her arms was thrown out because of unconsciousness, which was extremely dangerous.

Fortunately, Sheng Jin had been paying attention to her, holding one in each hand and successfully rescuing them both.

"Xi'er, Xi'er!"

"Whoa whoa-"

It seemed that mother and child were connected by heart. When Yu'er saw that her mother had fainted, even though she was still young, she burst into tears out of worry.

Sheng Jin had no time to coax him, so he could only leave him to the secret guards. The poor captain of the secret guards held the soft ball in his arms, flustered and not knowing how to react.

"Imperial Physician, tell the Imperial Physician quickly."

"Yes."

……

All the doctors on duty at the Imperial Medical Bureau were here. After discussing with each other, they made a diagnosis and the judge came out to report.

"Your Majesty, the Empress has been poisoned by a poison called 'Beauty's Fury'. It is colorless, odorless, and has no antidote. Those poisoned by this must remain calm and composed. The slightest anger will cause the poison to attack the heart, and no medicine can cure it."

"So how is she now? I order you to save Xi'er's life, otherwise, you will lose your heads too."

The imperial doctors looked frightened, but they were actually calm inside.

Alas, it’s not easy to be an imperial physician. I’ve gotten used to it a long time ago.

However, they really couldn't bear to see such a beautiful woman die, so they decided to get treatment as soon as possible.

After a long period of acupuncture, Liu Lingxi had been pricked like a hedgehog, but her complexion was much rosier than before, as if she had recovered a little.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. The Empress's condition is under control for the time being. Fortunately, the poisoning was not too long ago. But remember not to stimulate the internal heat, otherwise the anger will overwhelm the heart and it will be impossible to cure it."

"Is there no way to detoxify it?"

Sheng Jin still felt unsafe. People in this world have seven emotions and six desires. Who can remain calm all the time? Even Bodhisattvas may not be able to do that.

He suddenly realized that separation in life was not the most difficult thing to endure, but separation in death was.

When he thought that the person he had finally seen would disappear from sight forever and never be found again, he felt extremely sad.

It felt like being crushed by a big hand. It hurt so much that I couldn't breathe anymore!

"No, this poison is a legacy from the previous dynasty, a secret remedy for harem infighting. The victim will die silently after being stimulated. Others will only think that she died of anger and heart palpitations, so there is no antidote."

"I understand. You guys go and develop the antidote. At the very least, you can protect Xier's life."

"Yes."

After everyone left, Sheng Jin knelt down in front of the woman's bed, his face full of self-blame.

Thinking of Xier's illness this time, which almost cost her life, he wanted to beat his unreasonable self to death.

Is your status important?

It doesn’t matter, as long as Xier is alive.

He never knew a word about her, but he was heartbroken for her many times. He just wanted to be with her, through life and death.

In this way, Sheng Jin guarded Liu Lingxi for two days and two nights. It was not until Marshal Sheng Changfeng led the army to attack the imperial city and successfully arrived at the palace that Liu Lingxi woke up.

"water……"

"Shui, hurry up, Xier is awake."

After Liu Lingxi drank a few sips of water from Sheng Changfeng's hand, she suddenly realized that this familiar voice...

"Changfeng."

"I'm here, Xier. I'm sorry I'm late."

Sheng Changfeng held the face he had been thinking about day and night, and he cried and laughed, laughed and cried, danced and gesticulated, almost becoming a madman.

God knows how scared he was when he first arrived here and saw Xier lying quietly on the bed.

At that moment, all the joy disappeared. Even if he conquered the world, he had no attachment to it and wished he could go with them.

"Am I dreaming?"

Liu Lingxi was in a trance for a while. It felt like she was in another world when she suddenly saw her old friend.

As if seeing the doubt in her eyes, Sheng Changfeng kissed her little face and rubbed it affectionately with his nose, making Liu Lingxi feel a little itchy.

She finally woke up from her dream. This familiar breath, this familiar movement, and this familiar face—

It turns out it was not a dream!

"Changfeng, you're finally back!"

"Yes, I'm back."

"You don't know, I miss you so much."

"I know. I miss you so much I'm going crazy."

……

The intermittent chattering inside successfully made Sheng Jin's eyes red as he was separated from them by a wall.

Great, I finally woke up.

I was so scared, afraid that Xier would never wake up.

As long as Xier is alive, what will happen if I don't disturb her?

He listened greedily to the voice that haunted his dreams, unwilling to miss a word or a pause.

Xier...
