Chapter 25 I will rest in peace only if I die in your hands
Yu Fei went to the prince's bedroom at night, and Jing Cang thought she was asking for sex, so he pulled her to make love. During the period, she was a little absent-minded, and he was dissatisfied, so he forcibly dragged her into the abyss of passion.
Perhaps what she thought about during the day will appear in her dreams at night. In her daze, she actually saw the scene in the original text, but the protagonist was her.
The same root of the snake was ineffective. The emperor and the empress knew about her evil deeds and ordered her to be dragged away and beaten to death. Jing Cang wanted to plead for mercy, but Yang Zhi shook her head gently at him. He hesitated for a long time and finally chose to remain silent.
"Crown Prince, Your Highness, Jing Cang, please save me..." Yu Fei struggled to break free from the shackles of the palace maids and begged, "Save Fei Fei, I don't want to die..."
Jing Cang looked towards her, that look was filled with a myriad of emotions: hatred, pity, hesitation... and finally determination. He turned his head away and became that arrogant and cold-hearted prince again.
“Bang bang bang—”
With the wooden board thicker than his calf leaning against his body, Yu Fei felt as if all his internal organs were broken. Amid the sound of the drizzling rain, he could still hear the sound of bones breaking and blood splashing.
"I'm not Miss Yu..."
"I didn't... hurt the prince..."
She murmured in a sad voice, as if hoping that the nobles in the hall would hear her truth and leave her alive.
I was sweating all over from the pain, but my body felt like it was in an ice cellar and I was gradually losing my breath before dying.
I really want them to give her a quick death!
If she fell into the sea, the cold sea water would pour into her nose and mouth, and she would lose consciousness in a minute or two, instead of like now, as if there was a big truck rolling back and forth behind her until she was crushed into a pulp.
…
"Yu Fei, Yu Fei, what's wrong with you?"
Jing Cang was awakened from his sleep by sobbing and mumbling, shaking Yu Fei's body.
Yu Fei opened her eyes in confusion and through the dim light outside the tent, she could see clearly that she was lying on Jing Cang's bed.
"Did you have a nightmare?" Jing Cang patted her face and scanned her body covered with the quilt. "Or is it painful somewhere? You keep shouting."
Yu Fei thought of his ruthlessness in the dream, turned his head and said sullenly, "My whole body hurts."
"Then I'll ask someone to call the imperial physician." Jing Cang pretended to lift the tent.
"No need." Yu Fei put her arms around his waist, "Brother, just hug me."
"I never coax children." Jing Cang saw that she was fine and lay down peacefully.
"When you wanted me, you coaxed me a lot." Yu Fei snorted, "So you actually like to bring harm to children."
"What nonsense." Jing Cang frowned, "How can this be confused with the same thing?"
"Why can't we talk about them together?" Yu Fei retorted. Seeing his face getting darker, he changed his words, "If you say we can't, then we can't."
After making a few jokes, she thought this was a good opportunity to use dreams to deal with the "evidence".
She struggled to nestle in his arms, pressed her soft body against him, and whispered, "Brother, I had a dream. In the dream, you ordered people to punish me with a cane, and beat me to pieces, turning me into meat paste."
He also acquiesced to the Empress' order. Regardless of the dream or reality, if he insisted on protecting her, even at the risk of death, she would be absolutely fine. Unfortunately, he was too rational!
Jing Cang was stunned when he heard this.
Recalling the time on the way back to Beijing, she couldn't stand the pain from the new medicine he applied to her legs, and howled like a ghost to force him to drink Ma Fei San. He was so angry that he said he would smash her bones after he exterminated the snake, and Huo Dao agreed and beat her into a pulp to relieve his hatred.
He looked down at her snow-white face lying in his arms like a docile cat, and suddenly he felt that she was not so hateful.
"As long as you listen to me, I won't let you choose such a cruel way to die."
After hearing this, Yu Fei felt as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on him, and his teeth could not help but chatter.
She thought that after spending some time together, he would give up his thoughts of killing her. Even if he had not changed at all and they were cuddling each other before going to bed, he should have the least manners as a man and not say such cruel words that would ruin the mood.
But he didn't play along with her at all and told her the truth openly.
Yu Fei let go, turned over, and curled up in the quilt like a wounded little animal, crying, "If I had known you were so heartless, I shouldn't have told you about my nightmare. I just brought shame upon myself."
Regardless of whether she was sincere or just pretending, she definitely said it because she hoped to get his comfort, not to add fuel to the fire.
Jing Cang listened to her scolding, threw off the quilt and sat up, saying coldly: "Yu Fei, who are you showing this sad and bitter look to? Don't you know how the relationship between us started?"
If she hadn't been a slave, he would have killed her long ago with her arrogant and unreasonable temper.
In fact, she didn't have to be killed, but she didn't repent. She plotted against him before, and then used her power to control him everywhere, and she never really humbled herself.
Even if he wanted to care for her, he would never tell her. With her personality, if she dared to turn her face away from him, she would be furious if she knew.
Yu Fei cried and complained, but he didn't seem to be moved at all, instead he brought up the past. She thought for a while, wiped away her tears, turned around with a look of despair on her face: "I know, I am already a dead person in your eyes."
As she spoke, she pinched her palms secretly, tears rolling down her cheeks. She looked at him tenderly and said timidly, "I'll die, but I have one request."
Jing Cang looked at her crying and felt upset. He turned his head away and said, "You say."
"I want to die in your hands." Yu Fei grabbed his hand and put it around her slender neck, hugging her lover like a moth to a flame even though she knew there would be no ending. "I love you, and this is how I will die with my eyes closed."
The neck in his hand was soft and tender, and he could strangle her throat with two fingers, but he couldn't seem to imagine her losing her breath. He thought that it might be the male snake's fault, and his heart felt like needles piercing his chest.
Jing Cang stroked her warm skin and said softly, "Okay." She was his, and his life and death should be decided by him.
Yu Fei blinked and suddenly suggested: "Then you can't tell anyone else that I put you under a spell."
Jing Cang was surprised that she suddenly changed the subject, and heard her add: "Parents can't do that either."
"What are you planning now?" he asked her.
Yu Fei lifted his wrist and bit it, saying pitifully, "This same-rooted snake can only be cured by giving birth to a child. If your father and mother knew, I'm afraid I would die without even seeing the child. If only you knew, maybe I could accompany the child to a full moon and a hundred days before I die."
Speaking of giving birth to a son to relieve the pain of the snake, Jing Cang felt a headache. It was not enough that she had caused him one disaster, she also wanted to leave him a small disaster.
However, if a girl is born, she will be cute when she is gentle, and if a boy is born, he will inherit his appearance, which is not so difficult to accept.
Jing Cang stroked her rosy lips and said, "That makes sense. I promise you."
Yu Fei held his fingertips and said vaguely: "Thank you, brother. I like you, brother."
Jing Cang remembered what she said just now, "I will love him until I die in his hands, and I will never close my eyes again." He was interested in rubbing her teeth, "Do you really like me that much?"
Yu Fei bit his finger and pressed on him tenderly, "I want to answer this question with my body."
I thought to myself: Finally, she has told this perfect lie. Now she has a trump card to hold the Queen accountable.
