Chapter 46:
For five consecutive days, Chen Lin lay silently on the bed. At least Xiao Die was slowly recovering, but Eunuch Shen said that Chen Lin did not show any signs of improvement. Xuanyuan Che had been guarding Chen Lin's bed. When Eunuch Shen took her pulse, he was shocked. The Empress had a strong will to survive. Although her pulse was weak, it was still beating stubbornly.
"Wan 'er, take your medicine."
"Wan 'er, there are your favorite pastries here.”
"Wan 'er…Wan' er…"
Xuanyuan Che was like this every day and did not feel bored. However, Chen Lin was still the same. She looked worried. What was the difference between him and the living dead?
"Eunuch Shen, when will she wake up?" Xuanyuan Che's voice was hoarse. Only the heavens knew how uncomfortable he was feeling right now, seeing the once lively person turn into this.
"Emperor, actually…the Empress has long been poisoned by the cold.”Eunuch Shen hesitated for a moment before deciding to tell Xuanyuan Che. "The Empress 'body seems to have been infected with cold poison, but this poison will not act up unless it encounters extreme cold. But Empress…"
Xuanyuan Che was shocked. Frost poison? "When did this happen?"
"It was already infected before the emperor's tour. However, this poison was very strange. If it did not take effect, no matter how wonderful the doctor was, he would not be able to detect it. The person who poisoned her must have targeted the Empress's medical skills.”Eunuch Shen's tone was unusually heavy. This cold poison…was incurable…
Although Xuanyuan Che didn't know any medical skills, he had heard of the cold poison. The cold poison could be said to be the king of all poisons…Looking at the woman lying on the bed, Xuanyuan Che couldn't help but frown. Her body still had to endure the cold poison?
"Cold…" Chen Lin muttered in her sleep as her small face scrunched up.
Xuanyuan Che's heart ached as he took off his boots and went to bed. He hugged Chen Lin in his arms, afraid that the cold poison had acted up…The person in his arms trembled violently, and her entire body was cold. Cold poison…as the name suggested, when the poison took effect, it had to withstand the corrosion of ice.
" Wifey, I'll hug you. You won't be cold anymore…you won't be cold anymore…" Xuanyuan Che's voice was still hoarse, but it was very gentle.
Eunuch Shen looked at the two of them and finally shook his head and left. The two of them were equally stubborn and heartless…Their futures would be filled with many obstacles.
Chen Lin hugged Xuanyuan Che's strong waist. If she found her home, she would subconsciously rub against Xuanyuan Che's chest. Xuanyuan Che's tightly pursed lips slowly rose. Just like that, he hugged the woman who was slowly calming down and fell asleep…
Perhaps the cold poison had saved Chen Lin's life. After the cold poison acted up, Chen Lin, who did not show any signs of improvement, stimulated her senses and actually woke up the next day.
However, besides Xiao Die's pale face, there seemed to be something missing.
"Sister, you're finally awake!"Xiao Die shouted excitedly.
Chen Lin looked at the already weak Xiao Die and could not help but be touched. After all, her body had been tortured so badly. Chen Lin seemed to have suddenly thought of something.
"Xiao Die, who brought me back?”She remembered that she had fainted and had lost all feeling in her body. Moreover, how could Consort Hui let her go when she had such a good opportunity? Don't tell me it's because she can't bear to see me die? He wouldn't believe it even if he died!
" Sister…" Xiao Die looked at Chen Lin and bit her lip. She was a little hesitant. The emperor caused her sister to have a miscarriage some time ago. Looking at her sister, she seemed to hate it when she mentioned the emperor in front of her…but the emperor has been really good to her sister these days…
Pursing her lips, Xiao Die still felt that it was better to say it out loud," Sister, it was the Emperor who carried you back…These days, it was also him who took care of you…" Xiao Die originally wanted to say that the Emperor was so gentle these days, whispering to her every day…But seeing her sister's tightly furrowed brows, Xiao Die still stopped.
"Xiao Die, help me get someone to prepare hot water. I want to take a bath.”Chen Lin looked in other directions and no longer looked at Xiao Die. So what if he saved her? So what if he took care of her? There was nothing between them now. She wished she could wipe off a few layers of skin from the places he had touched!
"Sister…"
"Xiao Die, you should understand me, right?”Chen Lin interrupted Xiao Die. She did not want to listen anymore, especially about everything related to Xuanyuan Che.
"I heard that the Emperor stayed by Consort Hui niangniang's side all night last night.”
"That's right! Consort Hui niangniang suddenly committed suicide, the emperor must go comfort!”
"But fortunately, Consort Hui Niangniang is fine, otherwise, the Emperor would be heartbroken.”
"Our niangniang's body is probably weaker than Consort Hui's right now, right? However, when the Emperor heard that something had happened to Consort Hui, he still left his master and left!”
"Moreover, I heard that Consort Wan Niangniang's trouble was caused by Consort Hui Niangniang! The emperor hasn't punished her yet!"
"After all, they have been husband and wife for so many years, and Consort Hui has always been so favored…"
The two palace maids who were helping Chen Lin prepare the bathwater chatted casually. Every sentence made Chen Lin feel extremely uncomfortable, but on second thought, she found it funny. Why did she feel uncomfortable? From the looks of it, Xuanyuan Che wasn't that heartless after all, was he? At the very least, wasn't he quite tolerant towards Consort Hui, who had been married to him for many years? Perhaps the cruelty was only directed at him!
Always taking care of herself? He left just as he woke up. The heavens were saying that they were fated to miss each other…
He picked up the clothes beside him, put them on, and went back to sleep. She could feel her body. From the moment she knelt on the snow, she had a rough guess…Ying 'er…No wonder she said those words when she left…But she was probably the one who poisoned her, right? Humans were really contradictory creatures…
Xuanyuan Che looked at Chen Lin's sleeping face in a daze. When he heard that she had woken up, he rushed over and realized that she was sleeping soundly. Why didn't he ask where he was when he woke up? With her medical skills, she definitely knew that she was poisoned, but why didn't she question Consort Hui?
Chen Lin suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Xuanyuan Che. This was the first time he had such an expression on his face, but he no longer felt anything for her now…
Chen Lin started slowly. Xuanyuan Che also regained his cold gaze and watched Chen Lin's difficult movements.
"Emperor, I heard that Jing has been grounded by you in the Imperial Residence of Jing?”Chen Lin looked straight into Xuanyuan Che's eyes.
Xuanyuan Che raised his eyebrows. The words she said when she woke up were actually Jing? Could it be that she couldn't see him? Or did she and Jing Zhen…
"Ouyang Wan, this is not something you should ask.”
"Your Majesty! I don't mind what you think about me and Jing, but to Jing, you are very important as his brother. So, Emperor, no matter how ruthless you are, don't hurt him!”Chen Lin knew what Xuanyuan Che was thinking, but she did not bother to explain. She did not think that he would believe her if she explained.
Xuanyuan Che's breathing started to become erratic." Consort Wan! Remember your identity!" He had said this to her before, but he did not expect her to say it again today.
"If I didn't remember my identity, I wouldn't be here long ago. Chen Lin's lips curled up provocatively. She wouldn't stop until she provoked Xuanyuan Che.
Xuanyuan Che pulled Chen Lin over and smiled wickedly. He leaned close to Chen Lin's ear and whispered,"Do you think you're still worthy of Jing? Don't forget that you are a pair of broken shoes that I have worn. A person like Jing is not someone you can imagine! Even looking at it was a stain on him!”
Looking at Chen Lin's dazed eyes, Xuanyuan Che's smile became even more evil." Ouyang Wan, speaking of which, I really want to see you begging under me. I actually miss that taste.”
Chen Lin felt that her chest was about to explode. Her anger could not be extinguished. Broken shoes? Xuanyuan Che! You hurt people enough!
She raised her hand and was about to slap Xuanyuan Che's face, but he stopped her with one hand. He gripped her fair wrist tightly," Ouyang Wan, the only outcome for attacking me is death! However, while I'm still interested in you, you should experience the taste of life! Also, you'd better recover quickly. I don't like sick women in bed.”
Xuanyuan Che looked into Chen Lin's eyes and said every word in an abnormally serious manner.
Chen Lin looked at the hand that was thrown by the bed. It was actually bruised on the edge of the bed…
"It's best not to think so much. You don't care about yourself, but you probably care about that palace maid called Xiao Die very much, right? Ying 'er betrayed you, but that girl has always been by your side!”Xuanyuan Che said casually before stepping out of the room.
Chen Lin was so shocked that she was covered in sweat. He actually used Xiao Die to threaten her? Did he know about Ying 'er's matter? Was it really that good to torture others while looking at that heartless back? The other hand covered the injured hand…I have to say, Xuanyuan Che, you really found my weakness this time…
Xuanyuan Che swept everything on the table to the ground. Eunuch Shen was silent. The only person who could make the Emperor so angry…was that person from Phoenix Palace…
"Eunuch Shen, recall all the secret guards that were sent to investigate Ouyang Wan's identity!”Xuanyuan Che leaned against the table and panted.
" Your Majesty, you've been investigating for so long…" It's a pity to suddenly stop. Moreover, would you be at ease if you didn't find the emperor?
"There's no need to investigate anymore. No matter who she is, she can forget about running away! And Ouyang Wan is already dead!" Xuanyuan Che tidied his clothes and narrowed his eyes dangerously.
[I don't care who you are! You're all mine now. Other men, especially Jing, don't even think about it!]
Eunuch Shen could also tell that the Emperor was really…trapped…
"What about King Jing?" Eunuch Shen stood behind Xuanyuan Che, feeling the emperor's aura emanating from him.
"Jing, it's time to give him a fief." Xuanyuan Che's voice became distant. Eunuch Shen was startled. The Emperor had once said that as long as King Jing was willing, he could stay in Jingdou forever. This was the greatest trust he had for a fellow King, but now the Emperor was talking about fiefs?
Both of them fell silent. However, Eunuch Shen was very perturbed. He understood the Emperor. He did not know how to treat a person sincerely. The Empress would not easily fall in love with this person who controlled the world. In the past, when they were on the tour, she had once thought that the two of them could really be together. However, he later saw that the Empress had a very strong self-esteem, and the way she thought about things was far from that of ordinary people. The current situation…
"Your Highness, the Emperor has decreed that you cannot leave the residence!" The person beside Xuanyuan Jing advised.
"Shut up! I don't want to repeat myself! I want to leave the residence!" Xuanyuan Jing glared at the person in front of him who was trying to stop him. Lin 'er seemed to have miscarried, and there was something else going on. Besides, he had a bad feeling about it. He felt that something had happened to Lin 'er. Xuanyuan Jing couldn't help but lose his temper when this person tried to stop him again. His Imperial Brother had stopped him, and now even his guards were doing the same!
The attendant was a little afraid when he saw the prince's angry look. After all, the prince had always had a good temper and had almost never lost his temper with the servants.
" Your Highness…The Emperor…" The guard swallowed his saliva and tried to persuade him. After all, the Emperor's temper was even scarier…
"This king doesn't want to repeat myself. Even if imperial brother blames you, it's not your turn to be punished!”Xuanyuan Jing's face darkened.
The guards were still standing in front of Xuanyuan Jing. Who could ignore the Emperor's words?
"Get lost! Did this king's words fall on deaf ears? Since when is it your turn to speak!" Xuanyuan Jing couldn't stand being held by someone all the time, so he slapped the guard.
"Puff!" The attendant immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. Xuanyuan Jing turned around and left.
He had a gentle personality, but deep down, he was not much different from Xuanyuan Che. After all, they were brothers.
His mind was filled with Lin 'er's suffering. How could he still listen to the servant?
Before Xuanyuan Jing could step out of the gate, a group of guards barged in. The leader was the instructor of the Royal Guards beside Xuanyuan Che. Seeing Xuanyuan Jing about to leave, he cupped his fists and said,""Your Highness, please return."
Xuanyuan Jing clenched his fists and looked around at the group of guards." Instructor Lin, you don't want to fight me, do you?" Do you think these people are my match?”
There were quite a few guards, but he could still handle them.
Instructor Lin frowned. The aura that King Jing was giving off was so similar to the Emperor's…They were indeed brothers. However, if King Jing had any ill intentions…
"Wangye, the emperor only asked me to bring a message, he has no intention of making a move.”
" Speak!" Xuanyuan Jing was obviously impatient.
