"Stop!" Just as the Second Prince, Zhao Zecheng, was about to press his fiery lips against Zhang Zixun's, he hugged her tightly. Just as the latter was on the verge of despair, an angry voice came from outside the door. At the same time, the door was kicked open. The Fourth Prince rushed behind the Second Prince with a fierce look on his face and pulled him away. Before the Second Prince could react, he punched him in the face. The Second Prince staggered and fell to the ground. A trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. It seemed that the Fourth Prince's furious punch was not light. Zhang Zixun lay weakly on the bed. In her anxiety, she wanted to use her magic power to open his eyes, but she realized that there was not a trace of immortal power in her body. She was secretly shocked. Logically speaking, she should have recovered a little after being healed by the Primordial Divine Artifact, the Purple Butterfly Dream! Why did he feel weaker and weaker now? He couldn't even resist an ordinary mortal? However, there was no time to think about this now. Zhao Zeyi knocked the Second Prince to the ground with a punch and ignored him. Instead, he went to Zhang Zixun's side and asked with concern,"Zixun, are you alright?" A line of tears was already hanging from the corner of Zhang Zixun's eyes. She said weakly,"I'm fine, thank you!" Zhao Zeyi saw her like this, and the anger in his heart grew. He turned to glare at the Second Prince, who had already regained his senses and stood up. Now, the latter seemed to have been sobered up by this punch, and his face was filled with disbelief. No matter how overbearing he was, he would never do such a thing! What was going on today? He slapped himself in the face and said regretfully,"I'm sorry, Zixun. I didn't do it on purpose! I really don't know what's wrong with me! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
"Sorry? Just a simple apology?" Zhao Zeyi suddenly stood up and glared at the Second Prince. He had clearly seen the Second Prince holding Zhang Zixun's hand and expressing his feelings for her. Zhao Zeyi was a person who didn't want to fight with others. Although he felt like his heart was being cut by a knife, he still decided to leave quietly to help them. However, just as he turned around, Zhang Zixun's cries of struggle suddenly came from the room. He immediately turned around and was furious. He kicked the door open and punched the Second Prince. He did not expect Second Brother to be such a person. Zixun did not agree and wanted to force him. He had really thrown the royal family's face!
"What else do you want? Do you want me to die as an apology?" The Second Prince's arrogance was also rising. He had a rebellious nature, strong and domineering. Now that he could apologize to Zhang Zixun in such a humble manner, it was already the greatest concession he could make. What else did he want from him?
"You." The Fourth Prince was instantly enraged. He clenched his hands into fists and made cracking sounds. He really wanted to punch him again. Just as he raised his hand and was about to punch, the Second Prince was ready to counterattack. Zhang Zixun forced herself to sit up."Enough! Stop!" Hearing this, the two of them immediately stopped and turned their faces away angrily.
"Don't you feel embarrassed? A dignified prince actually fought for a little girl like me! If this spread, where would Zi Yue's national prestige be? Ahem." Under his excitement, he affected the injuries in his body and started coughing violently.
"How are you?" The two princes ran over and asked excitedly at the same time. Then, they glared at each other, neither of them convinced the other. Zhang Zixun pulled her hand out of their grasp and continued,"I know you guys treat me well, but I can tell you clearly that I only treat you guys as friends. If you can't accept it, then forget it. I'll leave this place as soon as possible. I won't see you again.”This time, Zhang Zixun had completely cut off all their hopes. Actually, she did not want to do this either. However, if she did not make things clear now, it would be even more difficult in the future. The sooner he explained, the sooner he would be free. This was good for the three of them.
"Zixun, it's me." The Fourth Prince and the Second Prince said at the same time. However, when he saw Zhang Zixun's determined expression, he could only swallow his words. However, the Second Prince did not give up. He asked tentatively,"Is there really no possibility at all?”His tone was almost pleading. Zhang Zixun couldn't bear it either, but she had no choice. The emotional scars from her previous life were too heavy. She didn't dare to open her heart easily now, especially when she was a member of the royal family.
"Yes, impossible!" He rejected her outright. At this moment, the Second Prince was already in despair. Although he was a playboy, he had never cared so much about a girl. But now…Her heart seemed to have shattered at this moment. The Fourth Prince glanced at Zhang Zixun and sighed."Forget it, Imperial Brother. I've thought it through very clearly these few days. What's yours is yours. If it's not yours, I won't be happy. Let go." The Second Prince glanced at him, his eyes filled with loneliness. There was silence. The Fourth Prince suddenly felt very relaxed after letting go of all this. He smiled and extended his hand to Zhang Zixun."Are we still friends?"
"We're still friends. Thank you." Zhang Zixun replied with a smile.
"What about you?" Zhang Zixun turned to the Second Prince and asked with a smile. The latter smiled bitterly and did not answer. He was the second prince of the Ziyue Kingdom. He had been a playboy for half his life and had seen countless women in the world. Many people wanted to throw themselves into his arms, but they could not do so. Today, he was rejected so directly. It was a huge blow to him! He turned around indifferently and walked out desolately. Zhang Zixun's eyes darkened, and she still felt rather upset.
"Forget it. Second Imperial Brother is fine. It's fine as long as he understands. We'll still be best friends like before.”"Yes, we're still friends." Zhang Zixun nodded with a smile.”"But I hope you brothers won't fall out because of me, or else I'll be in big trouble!"”Zhao Zeyi shook his head." I won't. Don't worry. I was just impulsive just now. I believe that Second Brother won't mind."”
"That's good." The atmosphere became silent. Zhao Zeyi looked at Zhang Zixun and suddenly thought of something."By the way, why are you so sick? You've always been in good health!" Looking at Zhao Zeyi's questioning gaze, Zhang Zixun felt a little awkward and did not know how to answer. So, he could only say casually,"Well, who doesn't get sick sometimes?" I didn't expect the illness to come like a landslide!”Seeing that he didn't seem to believe her, Zhang Zixun didn't want to dwell on this anymore. She could only order him to leave."Alright, I'm tired. You can go back first. I want to rest for a while.”As he spoke, he lay down. Zhao Zeyi looked at her again and left quietly. Zhang Zixun said quietly,"I'm sorry, I really can't."”However, she didn't see Zhao Zeyi's tears fall the moment he turned around. He knew that they could never go back to how they were before.
"Useless! He couldn't even handle a woman. To think that I even told them that Zhang Zixun had woken up and asked them to visit her.”A figure flashed out from the shade of the tree and looked in the direction where Zhao Zeyi had left. It was none other than the vicious Qing `er.
Night fell, and the cold moonlight shone on the ground. The palace fell into silence again. In a small room in the middle of Yi Lan, the candlelight flickered, making it seem a little dark. The door and windows of the room were tightly shut. A figure was sitting by the table with a solemn expression. His hands were constantly fiddling with the scraps of paper on the table. This person was Zhang Zixun's maid, Xiao Ju. What she was fiddling with was the paper she had brought back from the backyard. She did not tell anyone about this matter. She just wanted to find out what was going on. Because the few words she saw on the paper made her feel that this matter was definitely not simple. From the moment she got the pieces of paper until now, she had already pieced them together for a few hours, but she still could not piece them together completely. She couldn't help but sweat profusely. She faintly felt that this matter must have something to do with the young miss, so she had to spell it out as soon as possible.
"What's going on? I can't do it well!" Xiao Ju said to herself. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. "Dong dong dong"
"Xiao Ju, are you there? Are you asleep?" It was Qing 'er's voice, scaring Xiao Ju so much that she couldn't help but tremble. She stammered,"Sister Qing `er, what's the matter? I'm already asleep." At the same time, he quickly put away the paper.
"Oh, you're asleep. I saw that there was still light in your room, so I came to look for you. Can you open the door?”The Green Girl continued. Xiao Ju was shocked again, but she had no choice. She could only bite the bullet and check for a while before slowly walking to the door to open it.
"Xiao Ju, what's wrong? Are you alright? You don't look too good!" When the door opened, Qing 'Er saw Xiao Ju's nervous expression and asked. At the same time, he walked into the house and looked around. Seeing this, Xiao Ju became even more nervous. Did she discover something?
"Sister Qing `er, what's the matter? It was already late at night. It was better to go back and rest.”
"Xiao Ju, did you clean the backyard today? Did you see any pieces of paper?" Hearing this, Xiao Ju subconsciously took a few steps back. However, none of them escaped Qing 'er's eyes. Viciousness flashed across his eyes.
"Oh, no, I haven't cleaned the backyard. Why?”Xiao Ju tried her best to remain calm.
"Is that so?" Qing 'Er approached Xiao Ju step by step, and her expression instantly turned cold, scaring Xiao Ju so much that she almost fell to the ground. "Then what is this?"”He bent down to pick up a piece of paper and placed it in front of Xiao Ju. Xiao Ju cursed herself in her heart for being careless. How could she have missed a piece?
"You know everything, right? Take it out?" Qing `er ordered.
"No! I don't know what your motive is, but I definitely can't let you hurt Miss!”Xiao Ju shook her head firmly and retreated step by step. Qing 'Er reached out and grabbed the paper from behind her, pushing her to the ground.
"This is not up to you!" The Green Girl wanted to kill her, but she was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so she warned,""I won't kill you today, but if you dare to tell anyone, I won't let you off!”After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving Xiao Ju sitting on the ground in a daze.
"Impossible! How could Sister Qing 'er be such a person? No, Young Miss is like a sister to me. Even if I die, I must tell Young Miss that she must never eat anything that Qing 'er sends over! The Goose Falling Sand must be given to the Young Lady, absolutely not! Xiao Ju quickly rushed out of the room. However, she had lived in this treacherous palace for more than ten years. She was not a little girl who did not know anything, so she suddenly stopped after taking two steps. His thoughts quickly turned, No, since Qing 'er said that if I dared to say it, she would not let me off, then it must not be a joke. There must be a conspiracy behind this." After figuring out all of this, Xiao Ju immediately returned to her room and found a pen and ink. After she was ready, she held the pen and pondered for a moment before writing this paragraph with a trembling voice: "Miss, if my guess is correct, then when you read this letter, I will already be gone. Because I discovered Qing 'Er's greatest secret. So she's not a good person. She's been planning to harm you all along. Although I don't know why, I realized that the reason why your condition hasn't improved is also related to Qing 'Er. Xiao Ju doesn't know what happened, but if you see this letter, don't eat anything Qing 'er gives you! This was because there was a deadly poison inside that was difficult to save by immortals, the Falling Goose Sand. Moreover, I also discovered that Qing 'er wasn't the only one who wanted to harm you. There should be other accomplices. So, Miss, you have to be careful! The Prime Minister's coma was also related to this matter, right? Who asked you to not tell me anything usually? Now, I can't help you at all. I can only use this letter to remind you not to trust the people around you! Although I know that you didn't tell me because it was for my own good, the world is unpredictable, and I still got involved. Miss, thank you for taking care of Xiaoju these days. I'm really happy and glad to have met you! I hope I can still be your girl in my next life. Even if I'm not, it's good to be your sister! Take care of everything! Qing 'er's final stroke!" After writing the letter, Xiao Ju's face was filled with tears. She really didn't want to leave Miss, but she had no choice. To save Miss's life, she had to risk her life. She hoped that she could still do something. This was the last thing she could do for the young miss. Xiao Ju put away the letter, collected her emotions, and walked out of the room. When she arrived at Zhang Zixun's room, as expected, Qing 'er was guarding the door. Perhaps she was preventing her from leaking the secret to Zhang Zixun.
" What are you doing here?" The Green Girl asked coldly. Xiao Ju looked at her calmly and said emotionlessly,""Don't worry, I won't tell anyone your secret. I'll leave tomorrow. It's just that now, can I say goodbye to Miss for the last time? If you're worried, you can watch from outside the door.”The Green Girl looked at her suspiciously, but in the end, she chose to believe her. So he let her in. He was indeed eavesdropping outside the door.
"Miss, are you asleep? Miss, I am Xiao Ju." Xiao Ju gently walked in. There was no candlelight in the room, so it was very quiet. At this moment, Zhang Zixun seemed to hear someone calling her. She opened her eyes and said in a weak voice,"Who is it?" Xiao Ju took out a lighter and lit the candles on the table, and the room lit up.
"Xiao Ju, it's you. It's so late. What's the matter?”Seeing that it was Xiao Ju, Zhang Zixun forced herself to sit up and asked in confusion. Xiao Ju hurriedly ran over to hold her." Miss, don't move. I just couldn't sleep, so I wanted to talk to you."”As he spoke, he sat beside Zhang Zixun.
"What's wrong, little girl? Is there something on your mind?" Zhang Zixun asked casually. He held Xiao Ju's hand. When the latter saw the haggard look on the young lady's face, she could not help but cry. Zhang Zixun panicked and hurriedly wiped it off for her."What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Xiao Ju forced a smile." It's fine. I just wanted to say thank you for taking care of me during this period of time, Miss. Happy and I are very happy!" Thank you!"
"Silly girl, what are you saying? We still have to be together every day in the future!”Zhang Zixun hugged her in a comforting manner. Xiao Ju was very strange today. What happened? Zhang Zixun was puzzled.
"Miss, if I'm not by your side in the future, you must take good care of yourself, understand?”As she spoke, she looked out the window. Qing 'Er was staring at her. However, she secretly placed the letter under Zhang Zixun's pillow. Hopefully, she could see it.
"Miss, remember my words. Take good care of yourself. I'll leave first. You can rest!" Without waiting for Zhang Zixun to react, Xiao Ju quickly fled, her eyes filled with tears. Walking out of the room, Qing 'Er stared at her coldly.""At least you know what's good for you!"
"You don't have to look at me like that. I've long since learned a saying in this palace, and that is, only the dead won't reveal secrets. So don't worry, I won't be a threat to you. Although I don't know why, I'll give you a piece of advice. It's not too late to let go now!”After saying that, he left quietly. Behind her, Qing `er watched as she left. A look of struggle appeared on her face, but it was replaced by coldness in an instant."I have no way out. My soul has been sold to the devil!”Zhang Zixun lay on the bed again, her emotions restless. Xiao Ju's words kept echoing in her ears, and she felt that something was wrong."Could it be that this girl has encountered something so hard that she wants to commit suicide? Not good, something must have happened!" At the thought of this, Zhang Zixun suddenly stood up, but her entire body was weak. What was going on? No matter how serious the injury was, it should be more or less healed after a few days of recuperation. Why was he getting weaker and weaker? I can't even mobilize the immortal energy in my body. What's wrong with me? Although she couldn't get up, she bumped into a pillow and a letter suddenly fell to the ground. Zhang Zixun saw it by accident. It was a letter. When did you put it here?" Out of curiosity, she opened it. His face instantly turned pale, and his hands trembled."This is impossible! This is impossible!"
