Chapter 580 I’m Here to Take Your Life Today
Bai Yu'an and Li Suining returned to the Dongchu Palace together, and Fuxing called Bai Yu'an aside.
"What's wrong? Have you thought it through about staying in Dongchu?" Bai Yu'an asked with some anticipation.
Fuxing twitched the corner of his mouth, "You really want me to stay? What about you?"
Bai Yu'an's eyes dodged for a moment and he didn't answer Fuxing's words.
Fuxing immediately laughed dryly and changed the subject. "Okay, I came to you to talk about something else. The Second Prince might be suspicious and think that Xiao Suining can observe the stars. Tell Xiao Suining to be more careful in the future."
Bai Yu'an was not surprised, but asked with concern, "Did he ask you today?"
"Well, he tested me. However, I said a few words to him, and he may be more suspicious of me now. Anyway..." Fuxing said to Bai Yu'an very seriously, "Yuan Xiaonian is not Yuan Huaihong. We must not let him know about Sister Suining's stargazing. Otherwise, I'm afraid he will be blinded by greed and use Sister Suining as a knife."
Bai Yu'an nodded, "So if he doubts you... is that okay?"
"Don't worry, it's okay. He knows my abilities and doesn't dare to mess with me." Fuxing's little expression was full of pride.
Bai Yu'an smiled and didn't ask any more questions.
When they went to bed at night, Fuxing secretly asked Li Suining, "Have you seen the second prince's future?"
"Well, the second prince is the Purple Star of Destiny. He will become the most powerful emperor of Dajin and will lead Dajin to expand its territory..." When Li Suining said these words at this time, he couldn't help but think of Dongchu.
She immediately stood up and asked Fuxing seriously, "Sister Fuxing, if the Second Prince expands his territory, will he attack Dongchu? Will Uncle Emperor and Brother Zitong be in danger?"
"No, they are the royal family. Even if Dajin attacks Dongchu, they are far away from here. Don't worry." Fuxing covered Li Suining with a small quilt. "Okay, go to sleep!"
After listening to Li Suining's words, she became more certain of her guess that Yuan Xiaonian should not be provoked, and even that Yuan Xiaonian should become the backing of the Bai family.
What should she do?
"Sister Fuxing, there's one more thing," Xiao Suining said sadly, "Xingxing seems to be ignoring me again. What should I do?"
"The stars are tired. Suining, please don't watch the stars recently, okay? We are going back to Dajin anyway, so you should let the stars rest."
Fuxing knew that it was because Yuan Xiaonian changed the future. Now, there were two more uncertain factors in stargazing, so Li Suining could not see anything again.
"Okay then, Sister Fuxing, you should go to bed early too." Li Suining closed her eyes obediently.
Late at night, Fuxing left Yunzhao Pavilion again.
But this time, she didn't go to the Buddhist temple to find Cao Huaping, but went to see Zi Yunlai.
"Little Fuxing?" Zi Yunlai was particularly happy to see Fuxing coming. He waved her over and asked her to come over. "Have you thought it through? Do you plan to stay in Dongchu?"
"It would be useless for me to stay in Dongchu," Fuxing said coldly, "because... I won't live much longer."
"Cough, cough, cough..." Zi Yunlai coughed excitedly and sat up in front of him. "Kid, what are you talking about? Why do you say...you won't live long?"
Fuxing's expression was solemn. "Because... the poison girls in Yaowang Valley all have short lives. In fact, it's a miracle that my aunt has lived to this age, but I... definitely can't do that."
"Child, what poison is there in your body? Have you consulted the imperial physician?" Zi Yunlai was only thinking about saving Fuxing and letting her live a little longer.
Fuxing shook his head. "It doesn't matter. I came here today not to live a few more days, but..."
She clenched her fists at her sides and spoke slowly, "Today... I'm here to take your life."
"What?" Zi Yunlai was not afraid, but was even more confused. "Why... do you want to kill me?"
Fuxing took a deep breath and said, "I want your life, but I can save Zitong's life for you. Are you willing?"
She didn't give Ziyun a chance to answer, "It's useless even if you don't want to. The person I want to kill can't survive."
"Hehehe..." Zi Yunlai suddenly chuckled, "Silly child, don't worry, I am willing, I am willing. If you can protect Tong'er for me, I will do anything for you."
He didn't struggle any more, but slowly lay down, looking at Fuxing with his beautiful eyes, and asked with a smile, "Does it hurt? I'm a little afraid of pain, please hurry up!"
Then he closed his eyes.
Fuxing's face showed a trace of reluctance. He didn't act immediately, but subconsciously explained, "Actually, I don't want to kill you so soon, but... if I don't kill you now, we will have to return to Dajin, and it will be too late when we return. I can only..."
Zi Yunlai kept his eyes closed, and his voice sounded slowly and gently, "Silly child, I don't blame you! It's okay! Come on, don't be afraid!"
Come on, don't be afraid.
Fuxing's hands trembled slightly. She quickly cut her wrist and placed the wound next to Ziyunlai's lips. "Drink my blood, and you will die soon. It won't be too painful."
Zi Yunlai then opened his eyes and saw almost black and purple blood flowing from Fuxing's wrist. His eyes showed obvious heartache.
"Kid, you've worked hard over the years." He obediently drank some of Fuxing's blood.
The smell of the blood was very strange, not fishy at all, but rather very sweet, like candy.
In just a few breaths, Zi Yunlai felt a pain spreading from his internal organs and instantly penetrated his entire body. Then, he lost consciousness and stopped breathing.
Fuxing stood by the bed all the time. Only after she confirmed that Zi Yunlai was dead did she lower her head. A tear fell to the ground and she left quickly.
Zi Yunlai's body was not discovered until the next day. This incident was like a thunderclap that instantly awakened the entire Dongchu, as if all the sleeping people suddenly became energetic.
Yuan Xiaonian didn't expect the accident to happen so quickly. When he received the news, he looked at Fuxing first, as if questioning why Fuxing didn't remind him before.
Fuxing's face was hidden in the big hood, she lowered her head, and no one knew what she was thinking.
"Let's go to the front hall first." Yuan Xiaonian called everyone over. "With the death of the King of Chu, I wonder what will happen to Dongchu? And that crazy woman Cao Huaping, isn't she still alive? She... won't kill Zi..."
"Second Prince!" Bai Yu'an quickly interrupted Yuan Xiaonian and shook his head at him. He didn't want Li Suining to hear that Zi Tong was in danger. "Let's go over and take a look first."
At this moment, the little girl was crying breathlessly, "Yes, Brother Zi Tong must be feeling very sad right now. Let's go see him first, and the Queen Mother too. They must be very sad."
The group hurried out the door and headed straight for the front hall.
