chapter XXXI
It was the fourth day since Dark laid in bed, and the eighth day since Xuanyuan Che left.
Chen Lin seemed to be used to it these two days. She would go to watch the soldiers train with the city lord every day. Although he was smiling all the time, he was extremely nervous. It was the same for both Xuanyuan Che and the Snow Dragon Kingdom. Since Dark was injured, there had been no news from the Snow Dragon Kingdom.
"City Lord?" Chen Lin said worriedly.
"Empress, what is it?" All along, the City Lord had been very respectful to her. These days, she had slowly gotten used to it. Perhaps he had always been like this to others.
"Is there really no news from the Snow Dragon Kingdom these days?”Chen Lin clenched her fists. Why did she feel that something was wrong?
"Yes, there's no news at all. However…"There was a hidden meaning in the City Lord's words, and he seemed to be hesitating whether to tell Chen Lin.
"But what?" Chen Lin asked anxiously.
"None of the people who went to investigate returned…"
" What?!" None of them came back? In other words, he had sensed the existence of those spies? Chen Lin looked at her stomach. The temperature in winter was too low. Chen Lin was dressed very bloated, so her stomach could not be seen at all. However, she knew very well that the most important person to her was there.
Lowering her brows, Chen Lin's eyes were dim. The battle was about to begin…She felt so powerless…
The City Lord looked at Chen Lin's back as she turned around and left. He opened his mouth and took a step forward, wanting to say something, but he ultimately did not say anything. In fact, he also knew that they probably couldn't delay the Emperor any longer. A head-on battle was inevitable. He only hoped to hold on until that moment.
Perhaps it was because she was pregnant, Chen Lin had been feeling uneasy during this period of time. She did not want to do anything, but reality forced her again and again. She could only support herself.
She had never told anyone about her pregnancy. After all, she could not afford to lose now. No matter who it was, she had to be on guard.
"Empress! Empress!" Lian 'er ran to Chen Lin nervously.
Chen Lin quickly helped Lian 'er up and saw that she was panting. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Dark…Dark has woken up!" Because of her anger, Lian 'er spoke intermittently.
Chen Lin hurriedly rushed into the military tent. When she barged in, Ming Zheng wanted to get up. Chen Lin walked forward and held Dark's arm."Don't move around when you just woke up. I don't believe you don't know your own injuries!"”
Because she was worried, Chen Lin's tone was inevitably a little blaming.
After placing Dark on the bed, Chen Lin looked up and realized that although Dark did not say anything, his face was red. She had forgotten that in ancient times, men and women were not allowed to give and take clearly…However, she was not an ancient person…
" Hmm! Dark's healing ability is amazing!" It's very difficult for someone to recover so quickly!"
Chen Lin said with a smile. However, she had just confirmed that he…only had 80% of his internal strength left. Moreover, he could not cultivate anymore…
"Actually, I know about my body, so there is no need for the Empress to blame herself. This is what I should have done!" Dark's eyes flashed.
"I will do my best to help you." Although Chen Lin's medical skills were outstanding, she could only say that she tried her best.
"Who injured you?" Chen Lin could not help but ask. To be able to injure Dark to such an extent, he was definitely not an ordinary person…
"I don't know him. He's a man with a silver mask. His martial arts were very good, and even the Emperor might not be able to touch him.”
Chen Lin was shocked. Although she had never seen Xuanyuan Che fight with her own eyes, her intuition told her that he was very powerful.
Lian 'er had been standing outside the tent the entire time, so Chen Lin naturally felt it. Hence…
"Dark, let me ask your brother something serious!”As he spoke, he pretended to cough twice, his face blank.
"What do you think of Lian 'er?”
The moment she finished speaking, the people outside held their breaths. What was the Empress doing?
Without a doubt, Dark's face turned red again. It seemed like there was a chance!
"Just say it!" Chen Lin patted Dark's shoulder generously! It was considered encouragement.
"Lian 'er is quite good." Dark lowered his head, thinking about something.
"Just good?" Chen Lin decided not to let it go.
"Empress, I am only a secret guard!" Dark suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with an unknown color.
When Chen Lin heard this, she was immediately stunned. Dark was a secret guard and was destined to hide in a corner to silently protect her master. However, Chen Lin had her own thoughts.
"Lian 'er, come in!" Chen Lin's expression turned cold. Since they both had feelings for each other, then he would be a good person for once!
" Empress…" Lian 'er looked at Chen Lin bitterly. Dark did not know that Lian 'er was outside. For a moment, the two of them were so embarrassed. Chen Lin, who was thick-skinned, would not be so embarrassed. Therefore, only the two of them were embarrassed.
"Lian 'er, I can see that you two should have feelings for each other.”Chen Lin looked at the two of them and continued,"If possible, are you willing to be ordinary people and live a quiet life?”
The two of them looked at each other and did not speak.
"It's not easy to find someone who can stay by each other's side. Think about it carefully! There wasn't much time left, only half a day. I hope you can tell me the answer tonight.”With that, Chen Lin came out of the tent.
Breathing the air outside, Chen Lin's heart suddenly ached. It wasn't easy to find someone to be with…Tears were about to flow out of her glass-like eyes. Even though she had once denied her heart, but…in reality, she had feelings for Xuanyuan Che, right? That devilish man would appear in her mind from time to time!
Hehe, I'm really a fool!
If Dark and Lian 'er agreed, it would be a transfer of her feelings. She hoped that they could be happy.
Ah! How could I forget! She had found some herbs that were very effective on Dark's injuries yesterday! Now, she was going to help him make pills! What if he was willing to elope with Lian 'er? It's only safe to bring the medicine with you! Then…the person who had a serious look on her face just now skipped off to make her medicine.
………………
"Wow! Dark! Lian 'er! The two of you won't be sitting here all afternoon, will you?”The moment Chen Lin stepped in, Ming and Lian 'er's sitting posture was the same as when she left…Chen Lin sighed…These two people were really determined!
When the two of them saw Chen Lin appear, their eyes began to flicker.
"How is it? Have you thought about it?" She couldn't wait to see these two elope…
"Empress, I want to know what you want to do.”Dark looked at Lian 'er and asked Chen Lin.
Chen Lin curled the corners of her lips. It seemed like Dark was planning to give up Xuanyuan Che for Lian 'er!
Chen Lin took out Jue's jade pendant and the medicine in a small medicine bottle.
With a serious expression, he said,"Take this jade and leave tonight to find the assassin world's Rakshasa-Jue." He will help you settle down! Also, this medicine will be very beneficial to your injuries!”
Dark frowned. How did the Empress know Jue?
When Chen Lin saw Dark's expression, she knew that he was up to no good! She slapped him on the head." Why are you thinking so much! I've already laid out a backup plan for you guys! Take good care of Lian 'er. Otherwise, I'll strangle you to death!" Chen Lin raised her hand and was about to pinch him.
Lian 'er, who was standing at the side, quickly stopped her." Empress, Dark is still injured. Please be careful!"”
"Yo, Lian 'er, you're already protecting Dark and not caring about my life or death?”Chen Lin hid in a corner and drew circles with a sad expression…Lian 'er's face was shy, and Dark's face was filled with black lines…
Knowing that she no longer felt wronged, he stood up abruptly. After giving the two of them a fright, he started to chase them away." Alright, alright, you guys leave quickly! If you don't leave now, the daylily will be cold!"
Lian 'er looked at Chen Lin with tears in her eyes. Chen Lin quickly protected the money bag at her waist. Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Niangniang, stop fooling around!" The more Lian 'er spoke, the more she wanted to cry. Then, her tears started to fall." If we leave, what about the Empress?”
Chen Lin scratched her head." The Snow Dragon Kingdom and the rebels are going to attack the city in two days. The Emperor will be here soon." I'll be fine."
Dark, who was silent, took out a glass bottle from his pocket and handed it to Chen Lin. His expression was not very good."The emperor asked me to give this to you before he left. If he can't come back in time, I'll let you take it." He said that we can't be caught by the people of the Snow Dragon Kingdom…"
Chen Lin's eyes suddenly widened. She trembled as she took the beautiful bottle and opened it to the tip of her nose. His body shook violently. It was demonic aura…The poison of the desert. The person who took it would stop breathing in a moment…
She held the bottle tightly and put down her hand. She looked at the two people in front of her with a smile." You guys go first!" This medicine was not a big deal. If he could survive, he hoped to see her again. If they were not fated, then they could only never meet again.”Chen Lin smiled as she pushed the two of them. "The two of you should leave quickly. It's easier to leave at this time. If you delay any longer, you won't have a chance."
Lian 'er, who was pushed in front, ran back after taking two steps. He hugged Chen Lin tightly. You must live well." Tears fell on Chen Lin's exposed neck, making her tremble.
Enduring the discomfort in her heart, Chen Lin patted Lian 'er's back. If you two are well, one day, we will meet again.”
Chen Lin gently pushed Lian 'er away and gently wiped the moisture on her pretty face with her fingertips." Lian' er, you're a good girl. If you keep staying in the palace, you won't find happiness! In the future, live a good life with Dark."
"Ming, I'll leave Lian 'er to you!" Chen Lin teased as she handed Lian 'er's hand to Ming's wound.
"Empress, if there's anything in the future, Dark will definitely do his best to help you!”Dark held the small hand in his hand, his heart filled with joy.
Chen Lin still maintained the smile on her face and nodded.”
He no longer looked at the two of them and turned around to walk into the night.
The hand in his sleeve did not loosen for even a moment. Mo Sha…If he knew that he could not be compared to the world he wanted, why would he be so sad now?
The silver-masked man reappeared in the dark night. His eyes were a little blurry as he looked at Chen Lin. It was unknown what he was thinking. (Guys, you can guess who this silver-masked man is. There's a prize for guessing correctly!)）
The first day since Ming and Lian 'er left, the ninth day since Xuanyuan Che left…
Perhaps everything was as calm as it seemed on the surface, or perhaps there were turbulent undercurrents.
Between the two, Chen Lin was more inclined to the latter. There was still one day left before the agreed time…
That glass bottle, that poison, she kept it in her bosom. He did not expect that the jade pendant he carried with him would turn from a life-saving jade pendant to a poison that was close to death…
