Chapter 13 Everyone Wants to Conquer Me 13
Consort Ling lowered her eyes.
She didn't want to; if she took it out, she would always be controlled by the emperor.
Lu Haitang seemed to see right through her thoughts: "Do you think it's okay as long as you don't take it out?"
"Lin Yi told me you wanted to run away. Do you think you can run away?" Lu Haitang's expression had changed. "Haven't you ever wondered why you always run into Lin Yi or Lin Er every time you try to run away?"
Consort Ling sneered: "Of course I know why. The Emperor sent you to monitor me."
"You call yourselves modern people?"
Lu Haitang: "Before I came here, the Emperor summoned me to the Qianqing Palace."
"He said that if the military camp needs medicine and you don't use it to save people, you'll be beaten to death on the spot!"
Consort Ling turned pale with fright.
"You dare to follow someone like that?" Consort Ling's expression was unpleasant.
“I had no choice. He said he would take me home.” Lu Haitang raised her chin. “He also told me that as long as Lin Yi was willing, he would take both of us back.”
"You actually believe such a thing? I think you've gone mad." Consort Ling thought she was incredibly naive.
"I have no choice but to believe him!" Lu Haitang said loudly.
“I also want to go home, so if you don’t hand over the medicine, then I’ll have no choice but to let Lin Yi kill you.”
The Emperor did summon her when they were about to leave, and he did say that if she did not produce the medicine, she would be beaten to death immediately.
Although it was cruel, she couldn't do it; she had to.
She is now the emperor's woman.
If the dog emperor can kill others without batting an eye, he can kill her too.
He Jiaojiao couldn't cry anymore as she watched the two of them arguing.
Just then, someone came to report that someone else had not made it through and had died from the disease.
He Jiaojiao stood up anxiously and turned to look at Consort Ling: "Give it a try. These are the people who followed me into battle. As long as you have the ability, the Emperor will not kill you."
“I can understand Lu Haitang. I was also forced to commit suicide by the emperor back then.”
"If he hadn't discovered that I was strong and good at fighting when I resisted, I probably would have been dead for a long time."
Consort Ling turned to look at her: "Then why are you still willing to fight for him? You two have been kneeling for so long that you can't stand up!"
"Do you really take his words as gospel?"
Lu Haitang: "Then what do you think we should do?"
Consort Ling didn't know how to answer this question either.
She didn't want to, she didn't want to think about anything.
She feels like she's been kidnapped and taken to a place she can't escape; finding her way home is incredibly difficult.
Lu Haitang: "What do you think we should do?"
“He and I are now essentially mutually benefiting. He pays me and promises to send me back. Why wouldn’t I give this opportunity a try?”
Ling Guiren's thin lips moved, but she couldn't say anything.
At that moment, Lin Er's voice came from outside the tent: "Miss Lu! Boss has a fever."
Panic flashed in Lu Haitang's eyes; ancient medical practices could really kill people.
She stumbled out, and Lin Er, before he could react, hurriedly followed, saying, "Miss Lu, don't go in now, be careful not to get infected!"
Ling Guiren and He Jiaojiao were still standing in the tent, watching her anxious back, not knowing what to say for a moment.
He Jiaojiao looked at Ling Guiren: "At this point, aren't you really going to help?"
Looking at the foggy outside, Consort Ling was already dressed in thick clothes, but the chill from outside still made her shiver uncontrollably.
Lin Yi has contracted the disease, and Lin Er is too busy to take care of her now.
If she runs away today...
Lu Haitang rushed to Lin Yi's tent, knelt down beside him, and touched his forehead; it was indeed burning hot.
"Lin Yi, aren't you in good health? Why do you have a fever too?"
Lu Haitang was so anxious that she didn't know what to do.
All I could do was keep touching his face and head with my palms.
Lin Yi weakly opened his eyes: "Haitang, men and women shouldn't touch each other..."
"Stop talking, I don't want to hear it." Lu Haitang's voice trembled slightly: "You feudal ancient person, if you were in my hometown, I would have already taken advantage of you."
Lin Yi kept coughing.
His face seemed to burn even more: "What...what kind of behavior is this!"
When Lin Er came in, he was shocked. Realizing that he was superfluous, he turned around and went out to make room for the two of them to talk.
After going outside, he thought about it and went back.
"Lin Yi, medical conditions in your ancient times were so poor, what would happen if you died?"
Holding Lin Yi's hand, Lu Haitang rambled on, seemingly unsure what to say: "What should I do in the future?"
"That wicked emperor is so evil. If he kills me while you're not around, there will be no one to plead for me."
Lin Yi's head snapped to attention, and he said to her seriously, "Haitang, watch your words! Cough cough cough~"
Seeing him like this, Lu Haitang pouted and was about to cry again: "Lin Yi, you are my only support here. If you lose your support, I really don't know what to do."
"Although I initially contacted you because I thought you were capable and could protect me, and I wanted to find someone to rely on, I actually really like you."
Lin Yi couldn't hear anything.
All I heard was her saying that she liked herself.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine after a nap."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yi's pupils began to dilate.
Lu Haitang panicked upon seeing this and cried even harder.
"Miss Lu! I've brought Consort Ling with me," Lin Er called from outside.
When Lu Haitang heard the voice, she panicked. Having never experienced anything like this before, she didn't know what to do except cry.
After running out, he pulled Ling Guiren inside, saying, "Please save him."
"For the sake of all the help I've given you before, please save him! Give me fever reducers and anti-inflammatory drugs."
When Lu Haitang begged her, he didn't notice her disheveled state.
Lin Er: "She tried to run away again just now, and I caught her and brought her back."
Lu Haitang looked up at her: "Are you still going to run away?"
Consort Ling remained silent.
