The light from the luminous pearl in the room was hazy and soft. The man lying on the bed was as still as a virgin. When Shen Jiaojiao looked at him, she was filled with shock.
A gentleman as handsome as jade, unparalleled in the world!
Although the man in front of me was somewhat weak, true beauty lies in the bone structure, not just the skin, and it was still evident that he had a refined appearance.
Shen Jiaojiao stared at him in shock. Besides his stunningly beautiful face, there was also a thick, almost tangible black mist emanating from his entire body. What was that?
This was the first time Shen Jiaojiao had encountered such a situation. Chu Tianyang hadn't had this black mist on him before, so she was a little curious.
He couldn't help but reach out, wanting to touch what that black mist was.
When Chu Tianling first saw this mysterious wife, he was shocked and his eyes widened. He realized that his eyes seemed to be damaged, and he couldn't see her face clearly.
It looked as if a person radiating golden light was walking over, the light both soft and dazzling.
Was this a dying man's final burst of energy before death? Or did he see a fairy godmother?
Chu Tianling opened his eyes wide, tears streaming down his face, looking utterly pitiful.
Shen Jiaojiao's hand was originally reaching for those black things, but when she saw this person, she suddenly burst into tears, and her hand turned to touch his face.
Ah! How warm it is!
In the quiet bridal chamber, Shen Jiaojiao, dressed in her wedding robes, bent over and stood by the bed, her right hand reaching out towards her nominal husband.
Neither of them spoke.
Shen Jiaojiao didn't understand. Why was she crying for no reason?
Suddenly, Chu Tianling felt a surge of heat rushing up from his dantian, fast and intense.
Before he could speak, he pushed away Shen Jiaojiao's hand with all his might, turned his head, opened his mouth wide towards the window, and spat out a mouthful of bright red blood.
Shen Jiaojiao stood to the side, her body stiffening. Could it be that she's just gone like this?
Although I knew this day would come, couldn't we have waited a little longer?
Ugh! This is terrible.
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Chu Tianling found that his previously cold and heavy body had become somewhat lighter!
This was the most relaxed he had ever experienced in his 18 lifetimes, and all of this was brought about by the Crown Princess before him.
Shen Jiaojiao's face regained its indifference, and then she looked at the man who had just vomited blood. He was dressed in red, his hair as black as ink, draped over his shoulders, his face as white as jade, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. His long eyelashes cast faint blue shadows as he looked at her with his eyes open, as if stars were shining within them. His pale pink lips were stained with fiery red blood, making him dazzling.
Her heart pounded as she watched, secretly wondering if this was some kind of demon that had come to life.
Chu Tianling was afraid she would worry, and he didn't know what to say. He had so many things he wanted to say in his mind. She must be terrified, right? He gave a reassuring smile. He actually wanted to say, "Don't worry," but before he could speak, everything went black and he fainted.
Shen Jiaojiao was startled when she saw the person in front of her. She hurriedly turned around, pounded on the door, and shouted, "Someone come here! His Highness the Crown Prince has just fainted! Quickly, find the imperial physician to take a look!"
The steward was already waiting at the door. Upon hearing the call, he quickly opened the door and summoned the imperial physician, who had been waiting for a long time, to come forward and take his pulse.
The imperial physician shuddered when he saw the blood under the bed. He had been taking care of the Crown Prince's health all along, and he knew his condition very well. Now, he feared that things were not going well.
When I took her pulse during the day, it was very weak and faint, clearly a sign that she was about to die. I felt so sorry for the bride.
He looked serious, having already prepared for the worst. He reached out to take his pulse. Hmm?
What happened?
Why is this pulse even stronger than during the day? Although it still indicates a short lifespan, if she dies a few days later, people will criticize the bride less.
This is a great blessing.
The butler stood to the side, his face full of bitterness. What kind of mess is this?!
Although we always keep white cloths on hand, alas…
Shen Jiaojiao already knew the outcome, so she remained calm and accepted it quickly. It was just a pity that such a beautiful face was lost so tragically.
She asked the imperial physician, "Imperial physician, you've been taking his pulse for quite a while now, how is His Highness the Crown Prince? Please tell me quickly!"
The imperial physician put down his hand, stood up, bowed to Shen Jiaojiao, collected his thoughts, and looked at the young and vibrant Crown Princess with complicated emotions before him, replying, "Your Highness, I have just taken your pulse. His Highness is still alive, but he has fainted. His condition is relatively stable."
Shen Jiaojiao looked at the imperial physician and thought to herself, "This person knows what everyone wants to hear. He's telling you first that he's not dead yet."
Looking at the unconscious person, what should we do next? Thinking it over, I asked, "Should we just let him rest? Where will I sleep tonight?"
The imperial physician, not wanting to meddle, quickly bowed to the Crown Princess and the steward, saying, "The Crown Prince is unable to move, so let him continue to rest. I will come to see him again tomorrow morning. I will take my leave now."
After saying that, he left quickly.
Shen Jiaojiao looked up and met the steward's gaze. The steward's eyes darted away for a moment, then he lowered his head and said in a slightly unsteady voice, "Your Highness, today is His Highness's wedding day, his wedding night. Although His Highness is unable to move, according to custom, he should still stay in the same room with you."
He secretly glanced at the Crown Princess. She was expressionless, and he couldn't tell whether she was happy or unhappy. He guessed she was unhappy.
Mustering his courage, he continued, "Your Highness, you must be tired after a long day. This old servant will take his leave now!"
Shen Jiaojiao watched as the housekeeper left and the door was closed. Was he worried that she would run away?
She just wanted to say that people were overthinking it. They wouldn't run away. As for sleeping, she had seen all sorts of things as a police officer before, and this was a living person! She wasn't afraid at all.
She just wanted to say she was so hungry!
She only drank a few sips of the sweet soup that Wang brought her in the morning.
Fortunately, there was still some food left on the table. Although they didn't drink the nuptial wine, everything that was supposed to be served was already on the table.
Shen Jiaojiao didn't care whether the food was hot or cold. She sat down and started eating the food she liked.
After eating, I walked to the bedside. Chu Tianling was sleeping on the outside of the bed, and there was still room left on the inside.
She saw the thick black mist swirling around the other person, a blackness that seemed tangible. What was it?
Shen Jiaojiao thought she should ask the King of Hell what this was.
She took off her clothes, crawled over Chu Tianling's body, and lay down inside him. She glanced at the pale-faced man beside her, closed her eyes, and frantically screamed in her mind.
"Yama….."
"Yama….."
...
She didn't know how many times she called out, but then she felt her body lighten and she found herself in a familiar place, shrouded in a gray fog.
"Chen Jiaojiao! Why are you calling me? It's giving me a headache!" Yama said with a dark face, clearly displeased.
Shen Jiaojiao looked at him with surprise and her eyes shining: "That's great! I have something I want to ask you. I met someone who was emanating a thick black mist. It was very strange. I don't know what happened. I wanted to ask you about it."
King Yama frowned, feeling something was off. Shen Jiaojiao was just an ordinary person. Although she possessed great fortune, she shouldn't have been able to see him.
Moreover, how could an ordinary person be covered in black mist?
