Jiang Fu glanced at the girl on the bed, his expression somewhat grave.
This is the fourteenth person the Emperor has killed.
If this continues, it will eventually become impossible to hide.
He walked over, and was about to cover Nanzhi with a white sheet and carry her away when he saw Nanzhi's eyelashes flutter. The next moment, she suddenly opened her eyes.
Jiang Fulai was so frightened that he collapsed to the side with a thud, his hand trembling as he pointed at the dragon bed.
"Your Majesty..."
Xiao Lanchuan frowned and looked at him with displeasure, until he followed his hand and saw Nanzhi sitting up.
Nanzhi blinked, looking at him with some confusion.
"Your Majesty, why is Chief Eunuch Jiang holding a piece of white cloth?"
For the first time, Xiao Lanchuan was shocked.
He stared at the girl in disbelief.
"You...you're not dead?"
"Of course I'm not dead, why does Your Majesty say that?"
Xiao Lanchuan was overjoyed and chased the palace servants away, his eyes fixed on her.
"Tell me all the details of what happened last night."
Nanzhi touched her neck, then said in a panic, "Last night, I don't know what happened to you, you suddenly lost your mind and grabbed my throat, almost strangling me to death."
As she spoke, she seemed conflicted and embarrassed: "I really didn't know what to do, so... so I bit your lip, and you let me go."
is that so?
No wonder his lips hurt so much.
He rubbed his wound, looking at Nanzhi with a meaningful gaze.
Nan Zhi's eyes reddened, but instead of running away out of fear, she walked up to him and asked with a worried expression, "Your Majesty, are you ill?"
"...Yes, I am very ill and could kill you at any moment." He lowered his eyes and stared at her, his tone sinister. "If you want to live, get out of here."
Xiao Lanchuan had long ago sworn that he would not let anyone who dared to betray him get away with it.
If she dares to leave, he will kill her right now, without waiting for him to lose his mind.
He thought she would actually be scared and run away.
But the girl hugged him without hesitation.
"Zhizhi won't leave. Zhizhi is worried about His Majesty and wants to stay by His Majesty's side for the rest of her life."
Xiao Lanchuan's eyelashes trembled slightly.
In that instant.
He clearly felt his heart skip a beat.
[Ding! The target's affection level has reached 30%. Congratulations, host!]
[Ding, host's points increased by 100, current points: 210.]
Tsk.
Nan Zhi discovered that no amount of physical contact could compare to how easily Xiao Lan Chuan's favorability could increase her points.
It seems like her ten million is beckoning to her.
After successfully deceiving Xiao Lanchuan, he offered to send her back to Changqiu Palace to recuperate.
Nanzhi said, "What if Your Majesty does what you did last night? This servant would like to stay with Your Majesty."
"But I don't want to..."
Xiao Lanchuan was stunned by his own thoughts as soon as he opened his mouth.
He was now afraid that he might hurt her.
Nanzhi also sensed his thoughts, and she hugged him tenderly, saying, "Your Majesty, this servant is not afraid."
If I don't live with him, how can I accumulate points to have babies?
Xiao Lanchuan looked at the girl nestled in his arms, remained silent for a long time, and finally lowered his arms to embrace her.
Considering how devoted she was to him, he reluctantly agreed to let her stay.
Nam Gyi's neck was covered in severe bruises, which looked quite frightening.
After Chen Weizhi prescribed the medicine, Dai Xue personally applied it to her.
The red rash on her face gradually subsided.
Today, Xiao Lanchuan didn't have to attend court; he just watched her from the sidelines.
After applying the medicine, Dai Xue wrapped the ointment with a white bandage and then tried to leave.
Xiao Lanchuan then asked her to bring another layer of red gauze.
He personally wrapped the red gauze around Nanzhi's neck.
He looked into her deep eyes.
Nanzhi felt somewhat uncomfortable watching his actions.
I always felt it was dangerous, like the two ends were about to tighten and strangle her to death.
She tentatively asked, "...Your Majesty, why do we need to add another layer?"
Xiao Lanchuan slowly straightened the red veil: "White is too ugly."
It looks like white silk.
Her pale face made her seem as if she might be blown away by the wind at any moment, which was irritating.
After finally completely concealing that patch of white, Xiao Lanchuan slightly curled the corners of his lips and raised his hand to touch the almost invisible rash on her face: "Want revenge?"
Nanzhi looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Qin Jingyi tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.
I felt even more restless after waking up in the morning.
She sent Yulan to investigate the situation outside Shangyang Palace.
When Yulan returned, she told her that there was no sound from inside.
This means that Nam Gyi was not driven out.
That's so strange.
Nan Zhi is already so ugly, there's no way the Emperor would still favor her.
Even if they killed her, they should at least have seen her body brought out.
She was just about to ask Yulan to go and take another look when she heard Jiang Fulai's voice.
"This servant greets Your Highness, the Noble Consort." Jiang Fulai entered from outside, his face amiable, showing no sign of anything amiss. "Your Highness, this morning His Majesty felt that the palace servants were not serving him properly, so he remembered the osmanthus cakes you made and specially sent this servant to ask you to take them to Shangyang Palace."
Was the service inadequate?
Thinking of her?
Qin Jingyi was overjoyed and quickly stood up: "I will do it right away."
As she spoke, she wanted to ask Yulan for help.
Jiang Fulai said, "His Majesty only wants what the Empress does. If anyone else interferes, His Majesty will be unhappy."
Qin Jingyi then left Yulan behind and went to the small kitchen in the side hall to busy herself.
