"Shi Rou …" Xiao Jin Feng deep voice contained a trace of gentleness as he walked in from outside, holding a cute white rabbit in his arms.
"Greetings to Your Highness…" Su Jinxiu was about to leave, but was called back by Xiao Jin Feng!
"How many times have I told you? Do not shed tears in front of the princess! Do you take my words as nothing?" The deep voice contained a trace of coldness. It was clear that there was no tenderness from before!
"Jun Xiu deserves to die…" Su Jinxiu quickly knelt down and bit her lips. A trace of grievance and unwillingness flashed through her eyes!
"Jin Feng… If you want to blame someone, blame me!" Chu Shirou's long, shapely eyebrows slightly knitted, and just as she was about to get up, Xiao Jin Feng secretly spat out a mouthful of anger, and shouted in a soft voice.
"Get out…"
After hearing that, Su Jinxiu endured the grievances in her heart, stood up and walked around Xiao Jin Feng, and left the room!
"Your Grace, you can't just act like this…" Chun Shirou's illness had made her looked gaunt and weak she couldn't put up a strong facade to reprimand Xiao Jin Feng. It seemed no matter how much water she drank or how much tonic she ate, her body was still like a well that was about to dry up.
"Okay, okay… I am sorry... But who let her make you cry?!... Anyway, look at this, I just bought it from the market, so I'll give it to you!" The haze on Xiao Jin Feng's face disappeared as he turned towards Chu Shirou. That charming smile of Xiao Jin Feng's belonged only to his beloved concubine!
"So cute... Does it has a name?" With the support of Xiao Jin Feng, Chu Shirou slowly sat up and leaned against the bed. This simple action already made her feel as though her entire body was being devoured. Chu Shirou just knew that her end was near.
Even so, Chu Shirou still smiled as she looked at the white rabbit in her arms, revealing her most beautiful face in front of Xiao Jin Feng!
"Your Grace…"
"What?" It was rare to see his wife smiling so happily. Xiao Jin Feng stroked the white rabbit's fur gratefully.
"The day after tomorrow will be your wedding to the Third Princess. You should start preparing now… I can't help you with my current situation... Listening to Housekeeper Zhou's words… He…" Chu Shi Rou inadvertently stated.
"Shi Rou! I won't take a concubine... Shall we give this rabbit a name? How about Xiao Rou? " Under his dark black eyes, a cold glint flashed across his eyes.
"Your Grace… I've realised, I never asked you of anything, had I? But right now, I won't just ask, I beg you! Marry the Third Princess... don't make things difficult for Father, and make the entire Xiao manor panic… Please?" Chu Shi Rou's watery gaze fell on Xiao Jin Feng's face, waiting for his reply!
"No… I won't marry anyone! No matter how serious the consequences are, I will bear all of them... Shi Rou, I won't betray our love, I won't betray my oath to you…" The sonorous voice didn't have any room for discussion. Xiao Jin Feng didn't meet Chu Shirou's gaze because he was afraid that he would see her tears, causing his heart to tremble in pain.
"If that's the case…" Chu Shirou does not wish to see herself become a sinner to the Xiao family. "From now on, I will not drink any more medicine and will just die with grievances." Chu Shirou's eyes were half-lidded, she placed the white rabbit on top of the bed, and laid down. She no longer looked at Xiao Jin Feng. Her slight movements causing her body to feel a hidden pain, but it couldn't overcome the pain of her heart, how could she not know how much her own words had hurt Xiao Jin Feng's heart.
Sitting quietly on the bed, Xiao Jin Feng clenched his teeth, his hands couldn't help but clench. After a long while, his lips parted slightly.
"As you wish… Shi Rou … I just don't want you to talk about death... Don't leave me... I really don't know to do if you leave me…" The deep voice hid the ultimate grief. When Chu Shirou said the word "die," Xiao Jin Feng's heart felt as if it was being ruthlessly pierced by a sharp blade. However, when he heard it, it already caused him to feel bone-deep pain! Xiao Jin Feng turned around and left without stopping, because he didn't want Chu Shirou to see his tears!
In the bed, her delicate body trembled like a maple leaf fluttering in the wind. A faint sob could be heard, and a heavy, bitter feeling rose from the bottom of Chu Shirou's heart. She was careful not to let go… Forgive me... I can't do it.
The Imperial Palace
Time was like fine sand in her hand, no matter how she clenched it, it would flow out and no one could stop it.
Duan Mu Yan was about to become a married woman. In front of the copper mirror, she blankly looked at that beautiful yet slightly haggard appearance, and her tears flowed down her face without any warning. Her heart really hurt. Yuxuan… Forgive me... In this life, I will never be your wife.
Phoenix Storage Pavilion
Duan Zitong sat quietly in a chair that was painted red with real wood. Her eyes, which were calm and indifferent, gradually shone with a cold light. Only one more night, and that slut's daughter will be married as a concubine and become the cheapest princess in the Mo Dynasty.
At this moment, a rapid knock on the door interrupted Duan Zitong's thoughts.
"Come in…" Duan Zitong leaned lazily on her chair and swept her half-closed eyes over the rapidly approaching Eunuch An.
"What is it?"
"Reporting to Seventh Princess, just now, a young eunuch from the Tinker Pavilion sent a message over. Today, at noon, the First Prince went to the Imperial Hospital…" Eunuch An half bent his body, showing extreme respect!
"Imperial hospital? He's taking medicine for that woman?" Duan Zitong guessed.
"No… When the First Prince came out, he didn't bring anything with him… Furthermore, the medicine for Consort Li had already been taken away by a maidservant from the Jade Pear Palace earlier on! " Eunuch An made a report based on the facts!
"Is that so…" Duan Zitong frowned as she slowly walked back and forth. According to common sense, since Duan Jingyang had always opposed this marriage, he should have tried to persuade Duan Mu Yan to reject the decree…. But at this point, he went to the imperial hospital. Could it be…
Duan Zitong was stunned for a moment before she immediately walked out of the Phoenix Storage Pavilion. For some unknown reason, Eunuch An followed closely behind her.
"You're going to the imperial hospital right now. No matter what you do, you have to find out what pill Duan Jingyang took…" Duan Zitong halted her steps and looked coldly at Eunuch An. After that, she headed in the direction of Duan Mu Yan's pavilion.
Duan Zitong was walking through the imperial garden, when she ran into a mama holding a wedding dress and a phoenix crown in her hand.
"Your servant greets Seventh Princess…" Upon seeing that it was Duan Zitong, the other servants hurriedly bowed and paid their respects before opening up a path for her!
"Save it… Where are you guys sending this?" Duan Zitong's bright eyes flashed, and her slender hand lightly touched a seven-colored pearl hairpin!
"Reporting to Seventh Princess, this servant has been ordered to deliver the marriage gifts to the Lovers Pavilion. Since Third Princess' marriage is tomorrow, we are preparing everything tonight..." The head of the Ceremonial Department, Wu Mama, stepped forward and answered carefully!
"Look at my memory, how could I forget that tomorrow is a great day for the Third Sister! Then what are you all dawdling for! Hurry up and go!" Duan Zitong smiled sweetly as a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes!
