He quickly fastened his belt, then found some women's clothes and dressed Ji Wushang immediately. He laid Ji Wushang flat on the bed before covering him with a brocade quilt.
But at that moment, he saw a drop or two of blood on the brocade quilt!
I was startled. Was this her blood?
Leng Bu, he suddenly realized that blood was flowing from his nostrils!
"Damn it!" Tuoba Heyan quickly got up and found a silk handkerchief from somewhere to barely stop the nosebleed.
Tuoba Heyan watched from afar as Ji Wushang slept peacefully. Although his pulse was rapid and weak, it was still relatively stable. After thinking for a moment, he decided to hurry up and deal with his own affairs first.
He took off his clothes and jumped into the pool. The warm water washed over his chest, and he closed his eyes. But his mind kept replaying what had just happened.
She is an extremely intelligent woman. Even under pressure and pressure, she was still able to "ambush" Tuoba Heyan at a crucial moment. However, what she just did really infuriated him!
Tuoba Heyan punched the water, creating a splash that rose ten feet high. He removed his golden mask, looked down at his face, and wondered if he really did look exactly like that Nan Xuzong. It had caused Ji Wushang to lose his composure and become so stunned!
I must find out what this person looks like and what really happened. I will definitely find out everything about Nan Xuzong and her!
Tuoba Heyan's dark eyes flashed. He was still hot all over. He looked at the creature rising from the water and had no choice but to go and do something.
"Princess Wushang!" He gritted his teeth, and after a long while, he finally managed to vent his anger, his whole body trembling. Suddenly, an image flashed through his mind: a room filled with the color of celebratory red, him blushing with shame, having finished in front of that woman, but then, she blushed with shame as well, and actually reached out to help him…
Tuoba Heyan was stunned.
Have I really forgotten something?
However, Mingming has always lived in the Qingzhao Palace. Except for the time he went out to fight three years ago, he has hardly ever gone out!
He gasped for breath. What was going on?
Ji Wushang felt utterly exhausted, weary and wounded. She could clearly feel Nan Xuzong's warmth, but he wouldn't come closer! Lying on the bed, tears streamed down Ji Wushang's face.
"Cong, why? It's you, it's clearly you!" she sobbed and cried.
The image of Tuoba Heyan removing the golden mask and revealing Nan Xuzong's face kept playing in his mind.
But this man is so ungentle!
Is it him? Is it really him? Or have I mistaken him for someone else? But where in this world can you find someone with the exact same face?
At this moment, Ji Wushang suddenly recalled the conversation he had with Nan Xuzong and the matriarch of the Yuan family in the Jingyuan Villa of General Ji's Mansion that day.
Nan Xuzong has an older brother, a twin brother!
"Ah!" Ji Wushang exclaimed loudly, sitting up abruptly in bed. "No!"
Tuoba Heyan stood there the whole time, from her dreaming, her tears, her cries, to her final gasp, he stood there, his eyes fixed on her, the golden mask on his face, his thin lips slightly pursed, without a trace of extra expression.
Ji Wushang turned his head and saw Tuoba Heyan standing not far away!
In a panic, she quickly pulled the quilt over herself, clutching it tightly with both hands. The next second, she shrank into a corner, crying out, "No, don't come any closer!" He wasn't Nan Xuzong, it wasn't him!
He must be Nan Xuzong's older brother, his biological brother!
How could she marry his own brother! And she almost lost her virginity to him! Is God torturing her, punishing her?!
Ji Wushang burst into tears, his face filled with panic.
"Princess Wushang, you've finally come to your senses? You don't think I'm that Nanxu Cong anymore?" Tuoba Heyan stepped forward, his thin lips curving upwards.
"No, don't come any closer! You're not Nan Xuzong, you're not!" Ji Wushang shook his head. He wasn't, he wasn't!
Tuoba Heyan stopped in his tracks. "Princess Wushang, can't you just forget the past?" He glared angrily at Ji Wushang!
"No, don't force me, no, ah, ah!" Ji Wushang was on the verge of collapse, unable to accept it!
"I will not force you." Tuoba Heyan closed his eyes, then opened them again. "I promise I will not use force against you again."
Ji Wushang looked at him timidly, scrutinizing his words.
"I apologize for what happened last night." Seeing her in such a state of collapse broke his heart! He couldn't bear the thought that she treated him as her deceased husband, nor could he tolerate her lingering attachment to him. But what he couldn't bear even more was seeing her in such pain, so heartbroken!
"I'm sorry," Tuoba Heyan said calmly. "Princess Wushang, I'm very sorry for my tyranny last night."
Ji Wushang was stunned for a moment, her tears still wet on her face, looking at him warily, her worry still there.
"I also apologize for for forcing you to play the zither." Tuoba Heyan still remembered the promise he had made to Huangfu Jun'an.
"You, Princess Wushang, are you willing to forgive me?" Tuoba Heyan asked in a questioning tone, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Ji Wushang remained silent.
"Ji Wushang." Tuoba Heyan looked at her and called softly, "I, Tuoba Heyan, have fallen in love with you—Ji Wushang." He didn't even know how he said those words. He just wanted to hold onto this woman, to hold onto her not as a substitute for her deceased husband, but as her man, a man who could cherish her.
What?
Ji Wushang was completely stunned and dumbfounded!
What did he just say?
Tuoba Heyan stepped forward. "I... I don't mind Yi Nianlang. I will treat him like my own son. If you are interested, I can make him the crown prince." He even changed how he addressed himself! Changed it!
Ji Wushang has become a sculpture.
He actually said he loves himself!
"No, no, no!" Ji Wushang finally reacted after a long while, her cries growing louder and louder, "You can't fall in love with me! You can't!"
Tuoba Heyan stood there dumbfounded.
"Why?!" he shouted.
"No, no!" Ji Wushang shook her head violently, hugging herself tightly, then clutching her head. Finally, she clenched her fists and started hitting her own head. "Ah!"
Tuoba Heyan was stunned. He rushed forward and pulled her into his arms, holding her hands tightly to prevent her from hurting herself. "Wu Shang! Wu Shang! What's wrong with you?"
Ji Wushang completely collapsed.
The man who looks exactly like Nan Xuzong is actually his own brother! And she married his own brother! His own brother actually says he loves her!
"I belong to Nan Xuzong! I belong to Nan Xuzong! I only want Nan Xuzong! I only want Nan Xuzong!" She went completely mad. Tuoba Heyan had no choice but to press her pressure points, and Ji Wushang collapsed into his arms.
His heart ached terribly.
Tuoba Heyan gently stroked Ji Wushang's face and wiped away his tears.
"Why is it so hard to get you?" he murmured, his hand sliding down her cheek, then to her neck, to her firm, soft breasts, to her slender waist, to her pert buttocks; all her beauty was under his control. If he wanted, he could take her as many times as he wanted while she was unconscious.
He had already witnessed her beauty last night.
Tuoba Heyan pulled her into his arms, gently held her cold little hands, and warmed them, transferring warmth to her.
"Forget the past, okay? Stay by my side, and I can give you whatever you want. Everything I want, I can satisfy you. If it's reasonable, I'll get it for you without even frowning; if it's unreasonable, I'm willing to be a tyrant, a foolish ruler, to fulfill your demands! But, could you open your heart to me? Let me live inside?"
Ji Wushang felt her body warm up considerably; the warmth at her fingertips gradually calmed her heart.
She felt incredibly comfortable, both physically and mentally, as she smelled the familiar fragrance of orchids.
She dreamt that Nan Xuzong held her in his arms, and then they sat together on the high rooftop, looking at the stars in the sky, just like before.
Tuoba Heyan reached out and wiped away the tears that flowed from her dream, then remained silent and continued to hold her.
After an unknown amount of time, when Ji Wushang awoke, he saw white curtains and pink ashoka flowers as decorations.
Here again?
She tried to get up, but Shouyue quickly stepped forward to support her, saying, "Your Highness, you're awake? Please don't move."
Ji Wushang looked at Shouyue and asked, "Am I still in the King's palace?"
"Yes." Shouyue nodded.
"I need to go back right now!" Ji Wushang immediately struggled to get out of bed.
“Your Highness, the King said that you cannot leave for the time being.” Shouyue held her hand.
Ji Wushang was furious and immediately tried to pull Shouyue's hand away, "I must leave!"
"Although you have slept for two days and two nights, your body has not yet recovered. Please take care of your health. The King is treating you." Shouyue did not allow Ji Wushang to break free. With a glance, several palace maids standing behind her stepped forward and restrained Ji Wushang together!
"How dare you stop me!" Ji Wushang roared, determined not to stay here any longer! His immediate priority was to take Huangfu Jun'an and flee far away! He would change his appearance and never see anyone again!
I don't want to bear so much anymore. I want to find Beigong Minhao, entrust Huangfu Jun'an to him, and then go down to be with Nan Xuzong!
She couldn't bear another man professing his love to her, especially since this man was Nan Xuzong's own brother! This time, she'd rather die!
"You must make me angry before you will submit!" Just then, a voice came from outside. Shouyue and the palace maids immediately bowed to Tuoba Heyan and then withdrew.
Tuoba Heyan stepped forward, his dark eyes fixed on Ji Wushang. "Since you can pretend to still be hung up on your deceased husband, and then kneel down to send off that Zhenbei King Beigong Minhao! So you're the one who hurt me?"
"No!" Ji Wushang took a deep breath. "You can't love me, I shouldn't marry you!" Ji Wushang shook his head.
"Why?" Tuoba Heyan's eyes were sinister.
“Because you are my husband’s older brother, his twin brother!” Ji Wushang said calmly.
"What?" Tuoba Heyan's eyes widened as he looked at Ji Wushang, then he suddenly burst into laughter. "Haha, haha! How ridiculous, how ridiculous!"
"It's true, otherwise, how can you explain that your face and Cong's face are exactly the same? Cong has a twin brother who was taken away right after he was born!" Ji Wushang had probably rested for two days, and thanks to Tuoba Heyan's medicine, his spirits had improved a lot.
Tuoba Heyan was taken aback. Was this true?
"I don't believe it!" Tuoba Heyan roared the next second!
"If you're not his biological brother, then it's Nan Xuzong!" Ji Wushang curled his lip. Damn it, what a mess this is! When he first heard about these twin brothers, he worried that if they ever met...
Ji Wushang dared not think any further.
"I am not Nan Xu Cong!" Tuoba Heyan gritted his teeth. "How many times do I have to say it before you believe I am not Nan Xu Cong!"
"Then you are his biological brother!" Ji Wushang looked up. "Marrying you was a mistake. I was forced to come here for a political marriage! Tuoba Heyan, let me go! I only love Nan Xuzong, I only love your own brother!"
"Nonsense!" Tuoba Heyan glared at Ji Wushang. "Just a face? You can judge everything based on just a face? What a joke! Princess Wushang, don't even think about escaping with such an excuse!"
"You can investigate yourself!" Ji Wushang forced himself to calm down. "Your birth mother is Zhen Rong, a precious concubine of the Great Xia Zhou Dynasty! Your father is the current ruler of the Great Xia Zhou Dynasty, the Zhou Emperor!"
"I don't believe it!" A hint of panic flashed in Tuoba Heyan's eyes. He turned around angrily and almost ran out of the palace.
Ji Wushang took a breath and sprawled on the bed. After only a short while, she got up and quickly put on whatever she could. She turned her head and saw some hairpins and tassels on the dressing table—her hair ornaments. However, the phoenix jade hairpin that Nan Xuzong had given her was missing. Ji Wushang felt a pang of pain in her heart. She quickly tied her hair into a bun, put on the hair ornaments, and immediately fled Tuoba Heyan's palace.
Upon entering the Miro Palace, Ji Wushang saw Huangfu Jun'an playing with Hongfei and Cuiwu in the courtyard. He immediately ran up to them, calling out, "Nianlang!"
"Princess!" Hongfei and Cuiwu immediately shouted.
Huangfu Junan quickly turned his head and exclaimed, "Ah, Mother, Mother!" That joyful cry filled Ji Wushang with happiness from the bottom of his heart!
