Chapter 503 Extra: Lu Qiongying and Arisaema (Part 3)

"Who are you to manage me?"

Lu Qiongying walked up to him.

"I..." Tiannanxing was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

"Who I choose as my consort and how I live in the future, what does it have to do with you?" Lu Qiongying pressed on.

"I just can't bear to see the princess go astray." He didn't dare to look Lu Qiongying in the eye.

"So what? I can't get the person I like anyway, so what difference does it make who becomes my consort?" Lu Qiongying stared at him straight.

Even though Tian Nanxing didn't look up and couldn't see her eyes at this moment, he could still feel her burning gaze.

It was because of him.

"I can't give the princess the happiness she wants..." He closed his eyes.

"Then how can you be sure that others can give it to you?" Lu Qiongying raised his chin with her hand and forced him to look directly at her.

"Also, you haven't even tried it, so how do you know you can't give me the happiness I want?"

Tian Nanxing took a step back and broke free from her hand that was clamped around his chin.

His face flushed: "Fifth Princess, this is unreasonable..."

"You're just a coward. You're obviously in love with me, but you pretend not to care." Disappointment flashed in Lu Qiongying's eyes.

"In that case, from now on, please don't appear in front of me again."

"Don't worry, I'm not a fool. I won't let someone like Han Yi be my consort. This is all fake. Father didn't really arrange a marriage for us. I asked my third brother to deceive you."

Tiannanxing's head is buzzing

What does the Fifth Princess mean by this?

"I just want to see how sincere you are to me and whether you are willing to take that step for me."

"Since you don't want to, I won't force you. This is the last time we meet."

After Lu Qiongying finished speaking, he went straight into the princess's residence, leaving Tiannanxing standing there blankly.

So, everything was planned by Lu Qiongying?

Just to make him see your true heart?

He left the princess's mansion in a trance.

Suddenly it started to rain heavily. Arisaema didn't bring an umbrella and went home in the rain.

That night, he developed a high fever.

While half asleep and half awake, he dreamed of the Valley Master again.

The valley master drugged him, tied him up, and asked him if he was willing to be that man's substitute.

She stripped him of his clothes, and he struggled violently.

"Let him go."

A clear voice rang out.

It was Lu Qiongying who climbed in through the window with her red rifle.

She stabbed the Valley Master through the body, and the blood he spat out splashed onto his face.

The teenage Lu Qiongying suddenly turned into the little Lu Qiongying.

She filled a basin with clean water and wiped the blood off his face with a handkerchief.

She smiled, like the rising sun, bright and warm.

"Okay, I'm here with you, so you don't have to be afraid."

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but no words came out.

The childhood Lu Qiongying and the present Lu Qiongying appeared before him back and forth.

The last dream was the scene of Lu Qiongying talking to him today.

"In that case, from now on, please don't appear in front of me again."

The last image left to him was Lu Qiongying's decisive figure.

"No. Don't!"

Arisaema woke up from the dream after struggling.

"Master, you finally woke up."

Lu Heng's voice reached my ears.

The dazed Arisaema finally came to his senses.

He slowly opened his eyes and looked at Lu Heng.

"What's wrong with me?" His voice was very hoarse. He felt so tired that he was too tired to even speak a word.

"You were caught in a rainstorm that day, caught a cold, and had a high fever. You've been in a coma for three days." Lu Heng shook his head helplessly.

The master had always been in good health, but unexpectedly a cold caused him to be in a coma for three days.

"Where is the fifth princess?" he couldn't help but ask.

Lu Heng was startled and turned his head away.

Tian Nanxing said with a sullen face: "You helped her deceive me once, are you going to deceive me again now?"

"The fifth princess went to Xinluo." After hearing this, Lu Heng replied honestly.

"What? What is she doing there?" Tian Nanxing suddenly became anxious.

"Some short-sighted little bugs in Xinluo want to rebel, and the fifth princess has gone to the battlefield to kill the enemies." Lu Heng explained the whereabouts of the fifth princess.

"The battlefield is so dangerous, why are you guarding me? Do you have a first aid medical kit prepared for her?" Tian Nanxing suddenly became anxious.

He forced himself to get up from the bed with his weak body.

"In the second cabinet from the left in my pharmacy, there is a box of life-saving pills. Send someone to deliver it to her immediately. This thing can keep you alive as long as you have one breath left. Send it to her quickly in case of emergency. Cough cough cough." He urged Lu Heng to hurry up while coughing.

He suddenly felt a little regretful about why he had been exposed to the rain that day. It was really a very bad time for him to get sick.

He did not get sick earlier or later, but just happened to get sick when Lu Qiongying went to the battle.

"Fifth Princess won't want your things." Lu Heng shook his head.

"She said she would never see you again."

Tian Nanxing was so angry that she started coughing violently.

"Won't you just say you made it? Ahem."

"Master, why are you doing this?" Lu Heng expressed his incomprehension.

Previously, the fifth princess was very fond of him, but he remained indifferent.

Now that the fifth princess is gone, he becomes anxious instead.

Is this the legendary fragrance from afar but stench from near?

Does distance create beauty?

Tian Nanxing understood his hidden meaning. He did not defend himself, but urged: "Don't be long-winded, just send it if I ask you to. The battlefield is dangerous and swords have no eyes. With this life-saving pill, the risk of her getting into trouble will be greatly reduced."

"I understand. I'll go right away. Please take good care of yourself. I don't want to see you die so early." Lu Heng muttered.

Arisaema: ...

This traitor!

…

Ten days later, Tiannanxing finally recovered completely.

He never gets sick before, but when he does, he stays sick longer than most people.

When he arrived at the Imperial Hospital, he heard his colleagues talking about Xinluo's battle situation and immediately pricked up his ears.

"No wonder Xin Luo dared to cause trouble this time. It turns out he got weapons from overseas."

"This time the fight was very close. I wonder if the five princesses can win their first battle?"

"I heard that the remnants of Southern Xinjiang fled there, hoping to revive Southern Xinjiang. They found a group of people who are good at using poison. I'm afraid the Fifth Princess will have a difficult battle this time."

When Tian Nanxing heard this, his heart suddenly became uneasy and he was absent-minded the whole day.

He wanted to ask Lu Heng, but didn't know how to start.

"Third Prince, there is a letter from the border. The Emperor asks you to hurry over to discuss important matters."

The young eunuch hurried over to report the news.

"Okay." Lu Heng hurried over.

Tiannanxing waited for a long time and saw Lu Heng, with an anxious look on his face, return to the Imperial Hospital to select people to take to Xinluo.

He grabbed his hand and asked, "What happened?"

"Fifth sister, something happened."
