She trembled all over, desperately trying to break free of all his restraints, hoping to stop him at this final moment, but he was so impatient!
He took her hand and kissed it. "You smell so good, even more beautiful than I imagined..." He sighed softly, kissed her hand, then grabbed her wrist and placed it on her head. He stepped forward, and Ji Wushang was already in tears. He smiled at the corner of his mouth and then kissed away her tears.
He kissed everything, including her lips, and then left after giving her a quick kiss.
He readjusted the angle, and his burning body was now pressed against her delicate body.
She had made preparations: to die the moment she awoke from this nightmare. Since she couldn't grow old with Nan Xuzong in this life, she would end it all with her own hands!
But to her surprise, Yiyun Shangcheng suddenly stopped! His face was filled with disbelief! He looked at Ji Wushang, at that beautiful body, at that fragrant scent, but he stopped.
He released Ji Wushang's hand and then helped her put her clothes back on!
Ji Wushang was extremely surprised. He actually let her go? She opened her eyes and saw Yiyun get out of bed, silently put on her clothes, and then walk out.
This left Ji Wushang completely baffled!
Has he really gone mad? He didn't let me go even when I was yelling at him, but now he suddenly stopped when I didn't resist at all?
I could feel his intense desire, a burning passion that also frightened me!
But I can't think that far ahead! I won't compromise with him!
Since he let her go, she still has hope! Even Heaven is taking pity on her!
Ji Wushang was overjoyed. Although he couldn't understand why Yiyun Shangcheng would suddenly let him go, that wasn't the important question!
Ji Wushang started planning how he could escape from here!
Yiyun Shangcheng walked out of Nixia Palace in utter dejection. He looked up at the night sky. His black velvet silk robe hung loosely on his body, and he looked utterly defeated.
The desire that had just been ignited had not completely subsided, but now he had no choice but to suppress it.
He had never had a woman before, and he was full of enthusiasm, thinking that he would rather make her hate him for the rest of her life than let her go even a little bit. However, things came to an end at this moment.
He wasn't mistaken.
"It's true, it's true... Hehe, hehe..." Yiyun laughed maniacally as he returned to his bedchamber in such a state of disarray. The maids looked at him, not daring to approach, but they were also extremely surprised.
Did the king return to his bedchamber so quickly because he tormented the queen for several nights before letting her go?
At this moment, Yiyun Shangcheng was filled with a fierce aura. She glanced at the maids and they all retreated without daring to stay any longer.
Yiyun closed the door of the sleeping quarters in the upper city before slowly walking inside.
He randomly found a dark corner and sat down on the ground.
His face was contorted with pain. He stared at his hands, his lips trembling. "I never expected... I never expected that I would achieve something after all this hardship... How is this possible? How is this possible? Heh, heh!" He burst into wild laughter, his mournful voice echoing throughout the vast palace!
"Should I kill your child? And then we'll have another one?" His smile suddenly froze, his blood-red demonic eyes staring at his hands. "Just... just let me kill him, and then we'll have another one!"
But after pausing for a few seconds, he held his head in his hands and said, "But you have a body that has been cold for thousands of years. If you damage your body again, what else can you do?"
"Waaah... Ji Wushang, you are so cruel!" He leaned helplessly against the cold wall behind him. "You treat me so cruelly! Then, should I treat you even more cruelly?"
His eyes were cold and filled with a bloodthirsty glint. He reached out, slurped up the wine on the imperial table, lifted the lid, and gulped it down.
After drinking for a while, he suddenly stopped, his eyes filled with coldness, ruthlessness, and intense hatred. "In that case, why not make you the true Demon Lord? That way, you can truly become my person! The child can be born, and I will strangle him after he is born! Then we'll have another one!" Yiyun Shangcheng said, gripping the wine jug in his hand. "Let you duel him! I want to see how he dies by your hand!"
With a crisp "crack", the wine pot in Yiyun Shangcheng's hand shattered into pieces!
Yi Yun Shangcheng stood up, his whole body radiating coldness. He walked out of his bedchamber and immediately headed towards the alchemy hall.
He was busy with his work, and he remembered her face; he would never forget the way she cried. She hadn't cried out about the child… so she didn't know she was pregnant?
Yi Yun Shangcheng looked at the Gu poison she had prepared in her hand, her mind racing with thoughts.
It seems they were all unaware that she already had a child? Yiyun Shangcheng smiled.
Then let Nan Xuzong never know until he dies!
...
Time was unbearably difficult! Nan Xuzong felt like he was in agony. He had countless nightmares. In his dreams, Ji Wushang was the queen of Yiyun Shangcheng! In his dreams, Ji Wushang was pregnant with Yiyun Shangcheng's child! In his dreams, Ji Wushang became a different person—bloodthirsty, cold, and ruthless. She followed Yiyun Shangcheng, wielding a long sword, and fought against him!
Nan Xuzong woke up with a start and immediately sat up on the bed.
"Master." Gong Shu immediately stood up from the chair beside him and hurried forward. "Master, you're awake?"
"Where is Wu Shang? Tell me, has Wu Shang been imprisoned by the King of the Western Regions?" Nan Xuzong was about to get off the bed at this moment.
Huangfu Xuan and Ma Ruyi, along with the imperial physician, hurriedly entered. Huangfu Xuan quickly stepped forward and immediately pressed Nan Xuzong's acupoints!
"What are you doing? Untie me right now! I need to go save Wu Shang, she's in danger!" Nan Xuzong glared angrily at Huangfu Xuan, wishing he could get to the Western Regions right now! He couldn't wait a moment longer!
"You should rest well first, don't rush. I've been sending people to inquire, and she's safe now." Huangfu Xuan tried his best to remain calm, then looked at Nan Xuzong, "I know you're worried about her, but rushing won't help now. If you don't cooperate quickly, you absolutely cannot go! You need to know that what your fourth sister-in-law wants is for you to be completely recovered! You'd better recover as soon as possible, otherwise, she'll be even more anxious waiting!"
Ma Ruyi looked at Nan Xuzong, beckoned the imperial physician to come forward and take Nan Xuzong's pulse, and then said, "Yes, when the Fourth Princess Consort left, she specifically instructed me to make sure that the Fourth Prince recovers. She said, 'Don't be too anxious, everything will be alright.'"
"Get better?" Nan Xuzong snorted coldly. His wife was about to marry someone else and become a queen, so what was there to talk about getting better or not?
"That's just how it is! You wandered around like this, half-dead, and before you could even save anyone, you got yourself killed! I'd like to see how you explain this to your fourth sister-in-law!" Huangfu Xuan waved his hand and quickly ordered someone to bring over the medicine.
Nan Xuzong's chest heaved rapidly. He glanced coldly at Huangfu Xuan and said, "That day, Wushang and I were playing in the lake when someone tried to assassinate us!"
“I will send someone to find out,” Huangfu Xuan said immediately.
"Release my acupoints, I'll drink the medicine myself!" Nan Xuzong sneered again. He needed to recover quickly so he could rescue Ji Wushang!
Damn it, I must kill Yiyun Shangcheng!
He was determined to fight a bloody battle with his master for the sake of his master and the man who stole his wife!
Seeing that his expression and attitude had returned to normal, Huangfu Xuan released his pressure points.
Nan Xuzong coldly replied, "I am also a doctor, and I know my own condition!" As he spoke, he immediately drank the medicine that the imperial physician had handed him.
His meaning was clear: he was blaming Huangfu Xuan for meddling in this matter. The assassination attempt, however, was far more valuable, because Huangfu Xuan should be the one concerned with those things! The sudden appearance of so many assassins in the capital city was bound to cause unrest!
Huangfu Xuan's lips twitched, but he still didn't say anything. Ma Ruyi stepped forward and pulled Huangfu Xuan away, saying, "Xuan, don't be angry."
"I'm not angry," Huangfu Xuan said coldly, and immediately walked out.
A long time passed.
Nan Xuzong looked at the night sky and checked his own pulse, "Gong Shu."
"Master." Gong Shu immediately came in from outside.
"Prepare paper and pen," he said softly. If Yiyun Shangcheng knew how to use poison, surely he knew how to use medicine?
...
Ji Wushang felt that it was already midnight, but he still couldn't reopen his acupoints! What bad luck! What if Yiyun Shangcheng came back again?
Unexpectedly, I suddenly felt that I could move again!
Ji Wushang immediately sat up in bed, quickly straightened her clothes, and carefully re-tied her belt.
Seeing a new pair of embroidered shoes under the bed, Ji Wushang put them on without thinking twice and hurriedly prepared to leave the Nixia Palace.
But just as they reached the palace gate, Yiyun Shangcheng unexpectedly pushed open the door and walked in!
Ji Wushang was startled. He looked as if he had been fighting a bloody battle for three days and three nights and was in such a sorry state!
But what was even more terrifying about him now was... Ji Wushang, his face filled with fear, couldn't help but back away, "You, didn't you go out?"
"Where do you want to go?" Yiyun Shangcheng looked at her with his crimson eyes. "I have been too lenient with you."
“I don’t belong here.” Ji Wushang kept backing away, while he kept moving forward!
"Stay here," Evian City coldly announced.
Ji Wushang frowned and shook her head. "I'm leaving."
"How disobedient!" Yiyun Shangcheng stared intently at her, quickening her pace!
Ji Wushang turned around and immediately ran towards the palace, knowing that he could still climb through the window!
But Yiyun was like an arrow flying through the air, and in an instant she was already standing in front of Ji Wushang!
"Ah!" Ji Wushang exclaimed loudly. He had already picked her up in his arms in a princess carry. Her legs kept thrashing around, so he immediately pressed her pressure points. "You are so difficult to tame! But I am very willing to accept this challenge! My goal is to tame you into a docile horse!"
"Are you insane!" Ji Wushang shouted. Damn it, hadn't he already left? Hadn't he already let me go? Why did he come back! Why is he treating me like this!
That despicable pervert!
Ji Wushang's eyes blazed with fury. "You're a madman, a pervert, a monster!"
"I must be crazy to treat you so well!" Yiyun Shangcheng suddenly said.
Ji Wushang stood there, stunned. He was doing this for his own good, but in a way that suffocated and tormented him? This "goodness" had turned sour!
He placed her on the bed and said, "Rest well and don't even think about escaping. You can't escape!" His eyes were cold as he took out a pill from his pocket.
Ji Wushang looked at it with surprise, "What is that?"
"Good stuff." Yi Yun Shangcheng sneered. He pinched Ji Wushang's chin, forcing her to open her mouth. Ji Wushang glared at him resentfully, her mouth aching from his pinching!
Yiyun Shangcheng tried to put the pill into her mouth, but she pushed it out!
Yi Yun Shangcheng's eyes darkened. He picked up the pill that had fallen onto the brocade quilt. "I have thousands of ways to deal with you!" he sneered. He turned and took a teacup from the table beside him. He poured tea into the teacup and then crushed the pill and put it into the tea. Looking at the teacup, Yi Yun Shangcheng smiled slightly.
He turned around and immediately went forward.
He helped Ji Wushang sit up against the bedside table with one hand, while holding the teacup in his other hand.
Ji Wushang immediately pursed his lips tightly, determined not to drink anything he offered!
It's definitely not good news!
Yi Yun Shangcheng sneered. He hadn't been able to have her body, but her lips were incredibly delicious! He took a sip of tea, leaned in, and tried to force his lips into her. Ji Wushang watched as his face flushed red and then turned pale. Damn it, he was at it again!
He was full of confidence, and as soon as he found her cherry lips, he covered them with his own!
Ji Wushang gritted her teeth, refusing to let him in. He reached up and pinched Ji Wushang's chin. Ji Wushang opened her mouth in pain, and he took advantage of the opening to enter her. The medicine in his mouth was immediately poured into her mouth. She pushed it out with her tongue, but he took the opportunity to curl his tongue up and tease her tongue!
Ji Wushang was startled. He took advantage of the moment to pour the medicine into Ji Wushang's mouth!
Yi Yun Shangcheng continued kissing her fragrant lips with some lingering affection, his tongue determined to tantalize Ji Wushang! Ji Wushang was extremely resentful, and seeing his tongue about to penetrate deeper, she was about to bite down with her teeth!
He seemed to know her perfectly well, and immediately withdrew. His blood-red eyes gleamed with excited glint as he touched his lips with one hand. "Truly wild and flavorful!"
Ji Wushang blushed. "Vulgar! Despicable!"
"I really like it very much!" He smiled broadly, and was about to drink the potion again when Ji Wushang immediately said, "No, I'll drink it myself!"
"But I like to feed you!" He smiled slyly and cunningly.
