Chapter 138: The Lame Princess vs. the Blind Hostage Prince Consort (15)
Amid the angry roar of the system, Lu Cha obediently collected his thoughts and pushed Xun Ji back to the bedroom in the main courtyard.
Lingying, who was awakened, looked at Xun Ji, who was very weak in the wheelchair, and then looked at Lu Cha, who was holding the brick in one hand.
It's strange that I have the illusion of an arrogant mountain king robbing decent women and men.
Your Highness, are you planning to force yourself on the prince consort?
"Go get the stove ready, hot water, the more the better."
Lingying suppressed her thoughts and did as she was told.
And Lu Cha threw Xun Ji onto the bed.
After Lingying delivered all the things, she asked them to go downstairs to rest and she took care of Xun Ji.
Even though he was covered with three layers of thick quilts, the room was warm, but Xun Ji still couldn't help shivering, frowning, and whispering softly:
“Cold… so cold…”
Lu Cha was about to wipe his face with a towel soaked in hot water when her wrist was suddenly clamped.
Xun Ji regained some consciousness, forced himself to open his blurry and confused eyes, and tried hard to look ferocious.
He couldn't see who was in front of him, so he just relied on his instinct and whispered a threat:
"Don't, don't touch me..."
"Or I'll kill you..."
Bang!
Lu Cha ruthlessly waved his hand and patted Xun Ji's forehead, which was covered with cold sweat: "Behave yourself."
Xun Ji was stunned. He felt that the sweet voice was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
He simply tried to bite her fingertips in revenge, but was slapped again.
The mist in his eyes instantly dissipated, and he pursed his dry, pale lips slightly, looking like a puppy that had been teased but didn't dare to fight back, so he could only stare at his owner with resentment:
"You hit me."
"twice."
Plop, a teardrop fell.
Seeing his pitiful and aggrieved look, Lu Cha couldn't help but pinch his cold cheek harshly.
"So what do you want to do?"
The scorching heat from the skin is enough to make the slight pain negligible.
Xun Ji subconsciously grabbed Lu Cha's hand and rubbed it, his eyes gradually lighting up.
So warm! And so soft!
As if he had found some treasure, he greedily pulled Lu Cha towards him and held her in his arms.
The woman's blurry face also became clear.
Xun Ji stared at the pretty face in a daze, and the image of her wearing red clothes and coming to save him flashed through his confused mind.
Carefully poking Lucha's cheek, "Are you a fairy from heaven?"
"?"
Lu Cha turned his head to look at Xun Ji who was lying beside him, and his brows warmed.
Xun Ji, who had successfully stolen the kiss, narrowed his eyes contentedly, like a cat stealing fish, hugged her tightly, grinned foolishly and whispered, "Mine."
It smells nice, too.
Lucha: "..."
The little villain couldn't have been poisoned and become stupid.
A new round of bone-chilling cold came again, Xun Ji's body was shaking like a sieve, but he still held Lu Cha tightly in his arms.
He rubbed her cheeks and neck affectionately, seeking a warmer place.
From time to time, a faint groan could be heard, as if a young animal in unbearable pain was whimpering helplessly.
Lu Cha pulled out one hand with difficulty, gently rubbed Xun Ji's head, and hummed a lullaby softly.
Gradually, it was Lu Cha who held Xun Ji in her arms, patting his back soothingly:
“The wind is not blowing, the waves are not high, and the little boat is rocking gently.”
It turns out that the fairy's singing voice is so beautiful.
It seems like I don’t feel any pain at all.
Xun Ji slowly closed his eyes, but his hand tightly grasped Lu Cha's sleeve: "Fairy..."
Please, don't go.
Stay with me.
[Ding—Villain’s favorability +10, Darkness -10.]
Noticing Lucha's tense face, the system curiously asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Are you stupid because of the praise?
Lu Cha was slightly surprised: "He didn't even call me mom!"
“…”
It's unnecessary to ask!
-
The next day, early morning.
Feeling the softness in his arms, Xun Ji subconsciously touched it, and the skin on his fingertips was soft, smooth and delicate.
He opened his eyes in confusion and froze for a moment.
Lu Cha lay in his arms, sleeping soundly.
The messy collar revealed her delicate collarbone and a hint of spring, and his hand was on her chest.
“!!!”
Xun Ji's face suddenly turned red. He held his breath, slowly pulled out his arm, gently covered Lu Cha with the quilt, and then retreated stiffly to the corner of the bed.
Biting my nails, I carefully thought about everything that happened last night.
Because of his internal energy training, the cold poison in his body could not be suppressed and he forced himself to return to the Princess's residence. Later...
Although he didn't remember it clearly, the shameful calls of "fairy" successfully made Xun Ji's heartbeat stop for a moment.
Why on earth is he here at Yuanlu Tea? !
Are all the secret guards in the mansion dead? !
Xun Ji's eyes became obscure when he noticed that he was still wearing his nightgown.
Does she know what I did?
A moan suddenly sounded.
Xun Ji closed his eyes lightly, and when he opened them again, they had become as empty as before.
He raised his hands nervously and fumbled around: "Where am I..."
"Of course it's my bedroom." Lu Cha got out of bed sleepily, sat in the wheelchair, and stretched.
"Next time, drink less. You're lucky to have come to my place. If the servants mistook you for a thief, they would have beaten you to death."
"Fix your clothes, I'll wait for you outside."
Xun Ji, who was thinking about how to explain, was suddenly stunned.
Is she helping me find excuses?
Xun Ji temporarily suppressed the troubled thoughts in his mind and stumbled outwards.
But at this moment, Nanny Li knocked on the door and came in: "Your Highness, the Emperor summons you to the palace immediately."
"The eunuch who delivered the message didn't say anything, but judging by his expression, he looked very serious."
Lu Cha nodded, indicating that he understood, and turned his head to look at Xun Ji who was standing next to the screen: "Don't forget to have breakfast."
Xun Ji obediently replied "Yes", and then returned to the West Garden under the guidance of Nanny Li.
Nanny Li had also heard a little about what happened last night. Looking at Xun Ji's distracted eyes, she sighed softly:
"Your Highness is a daughter of gold, yet you took care of the Prince Consort for a whole night, and never blamed me for anything that happened on your wedding day. Instead, you were given all the good things."
"I only hope that you will not let down His Highness's sincerity and treat her well."
"Actually, Your Highness is not as glorious as you think."
Xun Ji was stunned. He wanted to ask a few more questions according to what Nanny Li said, but the other party had already left.
The restlessness in my chest grew a little heavier.
Azhuo, who was waiting in the courtyard, came out upon hearing the noise and saw Xun Ji still wearing his nightgown. He was surprised:
"Master, how could you..."
Xun Ji raised his hand to interrupt Azhuo and walked straight to the bedroom.
The wooden door closed and he slid down to the ground tiredly.
In the previous life, every kind of torture he suffered in the dark dungeon, and the woman's sweet and soft smile, flashed before his eyes.
It was as if it had turned into two knives, one cutting his flesh and blood, the other grinding his heart.
Xun Ji couldn't help but clench his fists, his nails digging deep into his skin.
Suddenly, a light laugh came out.
It seemed like sarcasm, but also like anger, mixed with a hint of helplessness that he himself was not aware of.
He died at the hands of Yuan Lucha!
