Chapter 171: What are you afraid of?
"Men don't shed tears easily, but they do when they are sad." The onlookers sighed.
"That's right. The princess and the prince are a loving couple. It's a pity that fate played tricks on them. The princess suffered such a misfortune at such a young age. It's such a pity." Another person echoed.
"My relative works at the Princess's mansion. I heard that ever since the Princess got into trouble, the Princess has been taking care of her without taking off his clothes. He hasn't eaten or slept for several days and has lost a lot of weight."
"There are few men in the world as infatuated as Junma."
There were also different voices in the crowd: "You can only judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart. He is showing so much affection now, but maybe he will remarry in a few days."
Someone else echoed: "It's possible. I've seen many people like this. They pretend to be very loving in front of outsiders, but in fact they have been sleeping in the same bed with different dreams for a long time."
Someone retorted, "Don't gossip about this. When the Duke married the Princess, he swore in front of General Longyuan that he would only marry Princess Lingxi in this life. If he has any second thoughts, he will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."
"Is this true?"
"Of course it's true. I was there and I heard it with my own ears."
"It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. It's unreasonable for General Longyuan to ask the county horse to swear such an oath."
"After all, he is General Longyuan. If I were in this position, I would be more powerful than him."
"I heard that Princess Lingxi is domineering and strong-willed. No wonder General Longyuan asked the princess to swear such an oath. He is afraid that the princess will abandon Princess Lingxi."
Everyone was talking at once, saying all sorts of things.
Pang Xuduan frowned.
When did these people gather here?
The Princess's Mansion is not a small family.
What a bunch of lowly people dare to gossip about the Princess's Mansion.
Just as he was about to instruct the doorman to drive away the outsiders, Xie Yingmian spoke.
"I don't have the patience to listen to your hesitant and sobbing." Xie Yingmian said coldly, "If you're dead, you're dead. If you're not dead, you're not dead. Just tell me the answer directly."
Pang Xuduan's face changed.
Even with so many people guarding him, Xie Yingmian didn't give him any face at all.
As expected, Xie Yingmian, like that idiot Xiao Lingxi, came from the countryside, had no manners and no manners.
Pang Xuduan was upset, but didn't dare show it: "Princess Ling, please forgive me."
"The princess's situation is really complicated."
"Right now, the princess is still breathing, but the imperial physician has already determined that she is doomed. Although she is still alive, she is not much different from having passed away, so..."
Xie Yingmian interrupted him: "You talk too much nonsense."
"She's still breathing, so she's not dead. Can't you just tell me she's not dead?"
Pang Xuduan was extremely angry.
A village girl is indeed a village girl.
Even if she rose to a high position and became Princess Ling, it could not cover up the vulgarity in her bones.
No wonder he could become friends with that village girl Xiao Lingxi.
Xie Yingmian saw Pang Xuduan's contempt clearly.
Her eyes dropped slightly.
After getting to know Xiao Lingxi, Xiao Lingxi told her about his life experience.
Xiao Lingxi's mother was a female doctor in the village. By chance, she saved her father who had lost his memory. The two fell in love with each other over time. In the presence of the villagers, they worshipped heaven and earth, got married, and gave birth to her.
When Xiao Lingxi was eight years old, his father accidentally hit his head and regained his memory. He remembered his identity and even remembered that he had been married and had a son.
Father Xiao brought Xiao Lingxi and her daughter back to the Xiao Mansion to meet Xiao Kehan and his mother.
This was originally a very clichéd story.
But, there is no bloody struggle and tearing apart of the story script.
Xiao Kehan's mother died of illness several years ago.
Xiao Kehan did not resent his father who had been missing for many years. Instead, he was very surprised that he had a new sister and took Xiao Lingxi out to play all day long.
Xiao Lingxi was ostracized by the noble ladies because she came from the countryside.
When Xiao Kehan saw his sister being isolated and bullied, he vowed to win a princess title for her.
Later, Xiao Lingxi's parents disappeared.
Xiao Kehan took on the responsibility of being a father. He used his military merits to win the position of princess for Xiao Lingxi, and helped Xiao Lingxi marry her beloved.
However, the reason why Xiao Lingxi fell in love with Pang Xuduan was because Pang Xuduan never disliked her for being a country girl.
Now it seems that
Pang Xuduan not only disliked it, he disliked it to death.
"Take me to see her." Xie Yingmian's voice became colder.
Pang Xuduan said, "Princess Ling, please forgive me. The princess has entered her dying stage. Please give her some respect and don't disturb Lingxi's reincarnation journey."
Xie Yingmian said bluntly: "What if I can save her?"
Pang Xuduan was stunned: "What did you say?"
Xie Yingmian stared into Pang Xuduan's eyes and said lightly, "Since Princess Lingxi is still alive, I can save her."
Pang Xuduan almost couldn't maintain his expression.
He was determined to kill Xiao Lingxi.
Xiao Lingxi only had one breath left, and he no longer concealed his relationship with his cousin.
If Xiao Lingxi came back to life...
Pang Xuduan couldn't imagine the consequences.
"Princess Ling, are you joking?" Pang Xuduan forced himself to remain calm. "Ever since Lingxi fell into the water, I've summoned countless imperial physicians, and every one of them said there was no way they could save her."
"How can Princess Ling save Lingxi?"
Xie Yingmian: "The imperial physician is the imperial physician, and I am me. What does it have to do with me if the imperial physician can't save me?"
Pang Xuduan said, "That being said, Princess Ling is not a doctor after all."
"Lingxi is already pitiful enough, Princess Ling, please stop making such jokes."
"For the sake of your acquaintance, please allow Lingxi to leave in a dignified manner."
Pang Xuduan said this while bowing deeply with a humble attitude.
Xie Yingmian stared at Pang Xuduan for a while and laughed out loud.
"Pang Junma." Xie Yingmian said in a deep voice, "I only want to ask you one question, do you want Xiao Lingxi to die, or do you want Xiao Lingxi to live?"
Pang Xuduan gritted his teeth.
Of course he wanted Xiao Lingxi to die.
Xiao Lingxi refused to reveal the whereabouts of the key even at his death, and it is very likely that he did not even know the existence of the key.
He has used Xiao Lingxi to gain the status, wealth, and fame he deserves.
He had long been fed up with Xiao Lingxi, that vulgar country girl.
Xiao Lingxi is now just a stumbling block to him. Shouldn't he kill her and keep her for the New Year?
Pang Xuduan thought so, but did not dare to say it.
He said, "Princess Ling, you're joking. Of course I hope Lingxi is alive."
"Really?" Xie Yingmian smiled, "Since you want Lingxi to live, why are you making excuses?"
"Didn't Xiao Lingxi tell you? I have a Heart-Protecting Pill here. The Heart-Protecting Pill can bring the dead back to life. It's a unique holy medicine in the world."
"I went to see her to give her medicine. Since she's not dead, there's a chance she could be resurrected. Why did you keep trying to stop me from seeing her?"
Pang Xuduan's expression changed several times.
That bitch Xiao Lingxi always said that she would never hide anything from him.
As a result, such an important matter was not told to him!
"Princess Ling, you are too kind, but..."
"Pang Junma, what are you afraid of?" Xie Yingmian interrupted him, her voice faint, "Could it be that Princess Lingxi was killed by you?"
