"Ah!" Ji Wushang screamed, digging her fingernails into his back, causing him to freeze in shock.
Yiyun Shangcheng didn't touch her! He didn't touch her! He knew how tight she was! Nan Xuzong looked up at her, stuck halfway there, realizing he had been too ruthless!
"He didn't touch you, he didn't touch you!" Nan Xuzong laughed wildly, and immediately kissed her fiercely! His actions began immediately below.
"No, it hurts!" she cried out in pain.
He seemed not to hear her, but when he saw the hickeys on her body that weren't his, his eyes burned with desire. He kissed her, determined to wash away all the marks left by his predecessor! She croaked, begging him to be gentle, but he was lost in the joy!
"It won't hurt, it'll be over soon!" He murmured immediately after a long while, not pausing for a moment.
Ji Wushang quickly took effect from the lust-inducing drug, becoming proactive and wanting to dance with him!
Nan Xuzong went crazy, personally tasting her lower body. It was so sweet, so incredibly sweet! He smiled; she was his one and only! No one else could covet her beauty. From now on, unless he died, he would never let her leave him!
That insane, bone-deep feeling kept flooding his mind, and Ji Wushang, unable to bear it any longer, finally fainted.
He, however, was immersed in the pleasure of regaining what he had lost, and kept dancing with her to dispel her desire and, in doing so, to dispel the curse on his own heart!
Regardless of what was happening outside, regardless of whether the two of them were hungry or had eaten, he had simply gone mad.
What is Yiyun Shangcheng anyway! Does he deserve Ji Wushang? No! He's nothing but a fart, a bandit who only knows how to rob! Nan Xuzong looked at her sleeping face. She was exhausted, and he felt exhausted too.
"Why are you so cruel to yourself?" he asked calmly, having regained his composure. His arm had just been treated and bandaged.
“You’re not dirty, you’ll always be mine alone,” he said, kissing her forehead. “I’m sorry.”
“I shouldn’t have let you bear all of this alone, let you suffer alone…” He held her tightly in his arms, “Why do we have to wait for the next life to be husband and wife again? We must be husband and wife in this life, and in the next life, and the life after that!”
But she had already fallen asleep without feeling anything.
Life and death outside are irrelevant to them, but it is slowly unfolding!
The next morning. When Nan Xuzong woke up, she was still unconscious. He immediately checked her carotid artery in her neck, thankfully, he had only scared himself.
He held her in his arms, looking at the bruises on her body, feeling guilty, and quickly searched for medicine from various places.
Ji Wushang felt that it would be best if he never woke up, never faced Nan Xuzong, never faced this world. He didn't know if he had betrayed Nan Xuzong, but hearing what Yiyun Shangcheng said made his heart ache!
He kissed her several times, and she almost lost her virginity!
Tears streamed down her face as she sobbed softly in despair.
Nan Xuzong was taken aback and looked at her, unsure whether she was crying because of his rudeness or because of the fear from last night. In any case, her tears had ruined his mood.
"Wu Shang..." He put away the jumbled medicines, then held her in his arms. "Wu Shang, why are you crying?"
"Waaah!" His question made Ji Wushang cry even harder. "Why, why do you still want me? I'm so sorry, so sorry!"
"You haven't done anything wrong to me." Nan Xuzong looked at her. "Don't cry. How could I bear to leave you?"
"I, I'm dirty... Waaah..." She cried again.
"How did it get dirty?" he sighed. He was furious that she had been kissed by someone else, but what was done was done, and she was so ashamed that she wanted to commit suicide! She resisted, but he was powerless to stop her. Could he blame her? No, damn it, she was so scared and so helpless! Should he take his anger out on her? No, she needed his care.
Her heart belongs to herself.
Moreover, Nan Xuzong knew that most of the blood on the ground belonged to Yi Yun Shangcheng. When they fought, he noticed a new wound on Yi Yun Shangcheng's chest, as well as a wound on his back. The little woman he was raising was a little tigress, but she was still somewhat outmatched against Yi Yun Shangcheng and his group.
"Don't worry, okay?" He kissed her lips. "I'm the one who cured you, not him. You're mine." He whispered in her ear.
Ji Wushang was stunned for a moment, "But, but..."
"No buts." Nan Xuzong looked at her. "I won't leave you again. It's my fault. I broke my promise and didn't come back in time. I was wrong..."
He wiped away her tears as he spoke, "Let last night be the past! I don't want you to live in that kind of pain, Wushang, I want to give you happiness."
Ji Wushang nodded, but remembering what Yiyun had said last night, she immediately said, "Cong, I, I heard him say that you, you are going to die, you have been poisoned by his Gu!"
“Don’t listen to his nonsense. Think about it, if I’m still under the influence of his poison and it hasn’t been cured, how can I possibly defeat him? Do I look like I’m poisoned?” Nan Xuzong said, opening his arms to show her.
She looked him up and down. He was completely naked in front of her, his gaze both gentle and resolute. She looked at him, scrutinizing him closely. Her gaze naturally drifted downwards, but she saw something she shouldn't have. She abruptly closed her eyes. "I believe you!"
Nan Xuzong smiled. Clutching his chest, he silently pressed several acupoints on himself while she closed her eyes. Then, he held her in his arms, saying, "I told you, I'm fine."
Ji Wushang was relieved to see that he meant nothing by it.
She nestled in his arms, trying to calm the panic and endless pain of the previous night.
He held her close, letting her find peace in his heart.
Let's have a final battle! There's still a little over a month left. Let him prepare everything, explain everything, and then fight to the death with Yiyun in the city!
Inside the underground palace, Yi Yun Shangcheng lay quietly on the stone bed. His wounds had been simply treated, and his entire body was enveloped in an evil, purplish-black aura. He would never forget how cruelly she had treated him. She had pierced his body with needles, jade hairpins, and glass beads. How much she hated him!
But he was truly obsessed with her.
The more unattainable she is, the more a force compels him to want her!
Her heart felt like it was made of cold stone, completely oblivious to her own thoughts. She had to tell her that Nan Xuzong was using her! He wanted her dead every single moment! He knew that if he didn't die, she would die!
Yiyun Shangcheng got up from the stone bed, his crimson eyes looking outside, then at his chest. He dabbed at the wound, and blood flowed from it.
"What a heartless woman!" he said coldly, quickly regulating his breathing.
What a bastard! I didn't completely take Ji Wushang, it's infuriating! Yi Yun Shangcheng put his clothes back on the stone bed and looked outside.
"Let's have a final battle! Let's see who lives and who dies! The victor is king, the loser is a bandit!" he said coldly, turning around. "I, the King, will definitely win! Ji Wushang, you will definitely come begging to me!"
Moxuan Garden.
Ji Wushang had fallen into a deep sleep at some point, and Nan Xuzong didn't have the heart to disturb her. So, when he told anyone who needed to come to the courtyard to find him, Nan Xuzong turned them away.
But, while she was still asleep, he got out of bed, dressed, and went to the outer room.
"Red Fly, Green Dance!" Nan Xuzong lowered his voice and ordered the two men to come.
Hongfei and Cuiwu immediately came in, "Master."
"Did you hear anything last night?" His tall figure was turned away from them, like a god.
“Replying to Your Majesty, we didn’t hear anything. The Fourth Princess Consort instructed us to prepare dinner for Your Majesty’s return, so that you could all eat together. But we didn’t know when Your Majesty would return… so we didn’t bring the food up, for fear of disturbing Your Majesty and the Princess Consort,” Hongfei said, kneeling down.
Nan Xuzong's eyes darkened. It was fortunate that no one knew what happened last night, otherwise it would have been extremely damaging to Ji Wushang's reputation! That beast, he would definitely kill him with his own hands!
"You may leave and prepare breakfast!" Actually, it was already quite late; the sun was high in the sky. Nan Xuzong snorted coldly, "Keep an eye on what's happening in the other courtyards and report back immediately!"
"Yes." Hongfei and Cuiwu immediately went downstairs.
Nan Xuzong quickly went inside.
Seeing that Ji Wushang was still fast asleep, he walked to the desk not far away with peace of mind. He took out a number of books and paintings, including military deployment maps and topographical maps of various states.
She placed everything on the small desk not far from her, arranged them one by one, and then began to calculate many things.
Ji Wushang had finally slept enough. He stretched and wanted to feel the warmth of the person beside him, but suddenly, he couldn't feel him! He opened his eyes instantly, "Cong!"
“I’m here,” he immediately looked up and replied.
Ji Wushang sat up abruptly, feeling no discomfort whatsoever because he had applied the medicine. Nan Xuzong put down everything he was doing, walked over to her, and sat down beside her bed. "Awake?" he said, gently smoothing her dark hair with his hand. She looked beautiful.
"Mm." Ji Wushang nodded, feeling relieved to see him by her side.
"Are you hungry?" he asked with a smile. "If you are, we can have a meal together."
"Yes, I'm hungry." Ji Wushang nodded and picked her up.
"I can do it myself." Ji Wushang lowered his head, pulled up the brocade quilt, and covered his body.
"What are you still shy about? We've been together at least a hundred times," he said, pulling back her quilt. "Be good."
Ji Wushang blushed and pulled at the quilt. He smiled and kissed her lips before successfully pulling the quilt away. "I've applied some medicine for you. See if you still feel any pain."
"It doesn't hurt anymore," she said, looking down.
Nan Xuzong nodded, "Then put on your clothes first, it's still a bit chilly today." He smiled and took the bellyband from the side, putting it on her himself, and then tying a knot at her back. Looking at her delicate skin, so tender it seemed like it could be broken with a touch, he couldn't help but stroke it.
Ji Wushang was burned by his hot palm and immediately dodged away. "Cong... I want to have a meal."
"Hmm." His Adam's apple bobbed up and down. He put his nimble fingers down, took out a gauze robe from the side, put it on her, and tidied her dark hair.
He lifted her off the bed and tried to help her put on her pants, but she grabbed his hand and said, "I, I can do it!"
Nan Xuzong smiled and said, "Okay."
Under his gaze, she quickly put on her clothes and then tied her belt. He stepped forward and helped her tie it.
He swept her up in his arms and turned to go into the outer room. "Hongfei, Cuiwu, bring in breakfast!" he called out to the outside.
He kept her on his lap; that's how much he loved her, as always.
Under Nan Xuzong's gentle care, Ji Wushang gradually forgot the fear and unpleasantness of the previous night, and his mood slowly improved.
After breakfast, Ji Wushang remembered the incident involving Princess Leng and Consort Jin yesterday and wondered what had happened.
Just then, someone rushed out from outside to the gate of Moxuan Garden, "Fourth Prince, Fourth Princess. This servant has something to report!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Wushang immediately instructed Hongfei to invite the person in. Nan Xuzong frowned slightly upon hearing this, but after instructing Gong Shu and the guards to do their work, he immediately came out of the inner room.
He gently embraced her from the side. She turned her head and smiled slightly. He kissed her lips before looking at the person who had come in outside.
"This servant greets Your Highness the Fourth Prince and Your Highness the Fourth Imperial Consort!" The plump maid knelt down and immediately bowed.
"Get straight to the point," Ji Wushang said.
"Reporting to the Fourth Princess Consort! When Consort Jin was found this morning, she was vomiting and having diarrhea, and was barely recognizable. We don't know if she can pull through! Your Highness requests that the Fourth Prince and the Fourth Princess Consort go and check on her."
Upon hearing this, Ji Wushang vomited and had diarrhea, becoming unrecognizable. It seemed someone had indeed targeted Jin Ruirui yesterday; Leng Ruolan was indeed someone who couldn't sit still! But this suited him perfectly!
Nan Xuzong looked at Ji Wushang, who hadn't told him about yesterday's events yet.
"We'll go right away!" Ji Wushang said. "You go and tell her first! I need to get something!" Ji Wushang waved for the plump maid to leave. Hongfei asked her to leave.
“You didn’t tell me about yesterday.” Nan Xuzong watched her pack up her silver needles and went to help her.
Ji Wushang turned to look at him and explained everything, "That's roughly how it is."
"Okay, I'll go with you to take a look." Nan Xuzong nodded; she did a good job!
When they arrived at Jinbi Garden, they could hear some maids inside sobbing quietly. Nan Xianxian, born to Jin Ruirui, had red eyes from crying and kept scolding the doctors, saying that this one was useless and that one was a good-for-nothing.
On the other hand, they also said they wanted an explanation.
The Prince of Jinnan was in this room inside Consort Jin's inner chamber, looking at Consort Jin and then at Nan Xianxian who was constantly nagging outside. He could do nothing but sigh. Sometimes he would just look outside, hoping to see Ji Wushang and Nan Xuzong. Ji Wushang knew medicine and hoped that he could save Consort Jin and find the person who poisoned her.
As for Leng Ruolan, the Prince of Jinnan has already sent people to keep a close watch on her, but she will continue to be fed and cared for, since she is carrying the Prince of Jinnan's last hope.
