Chapter 240 Scam
After an unknown amount of time, Xuanyuan Jing's fingers moved slightly, and then he slowly opened his eyes. Seeing Xiao Fuguang with tears on his face, he forced a weak smile.
"Fu Guang... I knew you would come..."
When Xiao Fuguang saw him wake up, he cried with joy and held his hand tightly.
"Xuanyuan Jing, you finally woke up, you scared me to death!"
Xuanyuan Jing was breathing slightly, his voice hoarse.
"Don't cry... I'm fine..."
Xiao Fuguang looked at him and spoke anxiously.
"I know you wouldn't do something stupid like that. You've been set up, right?"
Xuanyuan Jing smiled bitterly.
"The Emperor is still unwilling to let me go."
Xiao Fuguang hugged him and spoke into his ear.
"I know. I've already sent Jiang Yuan and Lin Ji to the fiefdom to mobilize troops. I've also asked Wen Ying to find the ministers entrusted by the late emperor and ask them to save your life and delay your attack for at least a month. As long as there's still time, we can send a hundred thousand troops into the imperial city and we..."
Xuanyuan Jing shook his head slightly.
"Fuguang, no need, no need to waste any more energy."
Xiao Fuguang looked into his eyes angrily.
"What do you mean by no longer needed? Xuanyuan Jing, what do you mean?"
Xuanyuan Jing spoke slowly.
"Fu Guang, I'm sorry, I broke my promise. I can't protect you forever."
"I'm sorry. I did have a purpose for marrying you back then. Of course, I really wanted to marry you, and it's also true that I wanted you to help me take care of An Ning."
Xiao Fuguang spoke after hearing this.
"I knew about An Ning's condition the moment I learned about it, but it doesn't matter. An Ning is also my sister, and it's my duty to help her recover. I've never blamed you for this."
Xuanyuan Jing continued to speak.
"But I still lied to you."
"Fuguang, don't save me. The emperor won't be at peace until I die."
"When I returned from the fiefdom, I discovered that some things in my study were missing. I knew this day might come."
"I just didn't expect the tricks he used were so bad."
"Fu Guang, I've already written the divorce agreement for you in the drawer of the study. In addition, I've prepared some property for you in Dayan. Gu Ying knows about this. I've also arranged your and An Ning's identities. You and An Ning will go to Dayan to live..."
Listening to him talking so much in a disjointed manner, Xiao Fuguang felt a sense of panic in his heart.
"Xuanyuan Jing, that's enough."
"I'm telling you, it was you who wanted to marry me, so don't even think about leaving me alone."
She hurriedly reached out to touch his face and looked into his eyes.
"Xuanyuan Jing, please don't give up, okay? I will definitely be able to rescue you. I still have a lot of connections that I haven't used yet..."
Xuanyuan Jing looked at her eyes, which were already red from crying. His eyes were full of guilt and his eyes were also red.
"Fu Guang, no, there's no need."
Xiao Fuguang asked with some hysteria.
"Why, why not?"
Xuanyuan Jing looked at her, tears rolling down from the corners of his eyes.
"Because I also lied to you about something important."
Xiao Fuguang looked at him with a firm gaze and spoke.
"I don't care what you've lied to me about, I will definitely rescue you, Xuanyuan Jing. I won't give up on you, and you can't give up either. Do you hear me?"
Xuanyuan Jing spoke helplessly.
"But, I didn't have much time left to live."
"Fu Guang, I've been poisoned for years. Even if you rescue me, it will only take a month or two. Don't bother."
Xiao Fuguang was struck by lightning, her whole body froze in place, tears welled up in her eyes again, her lips trembled, and her voice was broken with disbelief.
"You...what did you say? Poisoned for years? No wonder, no wonder, no wonder you never let me take your pulse, Xuanyuan Jing, you lied to me..."
Looking at her collapse, Xuanyuan Jing felt a sharp pain in his heart.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I failed you."
"On the battlefield, I witnessed your martial arts prowess and your strategic planning, and I knew you were capable of taking care of An Ning for me. But I was conflicted. How could I, a dying man, be worthy of you?"
"But when I saw the Crown Prince and Prince Rong asking for marriage, I felt unwilling to accept it..."
Xiao Fuguang looked up at him with tears on his face.
"So? So when my mother passed away, when I was desperate, you came out like a savior and offered to marry me, making me feel grateful to you, making me feel guilty about you, and making me willingly take care of my sister for you."
Xuanyuan Jing couldn't help shedding tears, his tone sounding weak.
"It's true that I like you, and it's also true that I'm plotting against you. Fu Guang, except for not being able to be with you forever, I will do everything I promised you."
The hand with the iron chain held Xiao Fuguang heavily and reached out to take off the hairpin on her head.
"I know what the emperor wants. Take An Ning away tomorrow. Ten days later, you should arrive in Dayan. You will be safe. By then, I will give the emperor what he wants and make him promise not to hunt you down forever..."
It turned out that he had planned everything out. Why was he so flustered and anxious all day? It was simply a joke. Xiao Fuguang laughed in anger, tears rolling down his eyes.
"Xuanyuan Jing, you are good at planning."
"Hahahaha, I, Xiao Fuguang, have been fortune-telling for many years, but I never expected that I would have such a fate. Xuanyuan Jing, you deceived me so much. From the time we got married until now, it has been two years. You have been so considerate and attentive to my emotions. You deceived me into falling in love with you, a dying man, and now you are going to abandon me like your mother. Xuanyuan Jing, you are great..."
Seeing her collapse and incoherent speech, Xuanyuan Jing apologized again with a sad face.
"I'm sorry. It's my fault."
"Fuguang, listen to me again and take An Ning away."
Xiao Fuguang pushed him away with a crazy smile.
"Okay, okay, very good, Xuanyuan Jing, since you have planned it so thoroughly, then I will do as you wish. I will take all your money, including the secret guards in the center, and then go to Dayan to start my new life."
After saying that, he turned and left.
There was a hint of trembling in his back.
Xuanyuan Jing looked at the sharp hairpin in his hand, then at her back.
Fu Guang, I will avenge your mother for you. In the next life, I will find you and compensate you well.
