Chapter 73 Love and Hate "Xiao Yu, don't you hate me at all...
Yan Shu was stunned when she heard this, and then her eyes were filled with tears.
"Yes! I hate you!"
The eyes that had regained some vitality instantly turned pale after hearing the girl's words. Xiao Yu raised the corners of his lips slightly, revealing a self-deprecating smile.
He just knew it.
His Shushu must hate him to death.
Yan Shu choked up and continued crying, "I hate that you've been lying to me all the time, and I hate that you're always ready to kill people, but I've never wanted you dead!"
Yan Shu shed tears and looked at Xiao Yu aggrievedly:
"I don't know if you will believe it, but I still have to say it! I really don't know why the glass of wine you drank at the coronation ceremony turned into poison. I did poison it that day, but I didn't want to poison you!" Tears flowed from the corners of the girl's eyes, and fell drop by drop on the marble floor of the hall.
"I wanted to drink that poisoned wine myself, but I don't know why yours became poisoned!"
Yan Shu covered her face and cried.
That day in Suning Palace, Empress Dowager Zhao Jing said to her with a smile.
If he didn't want Xiao Yu's past to be made public, he would be attacked by the royal family, lose his throne, or even his life.
If he didn't want his mother to have any accidents in Yan Palace, what would he do?
Yan Shu had to obediently commit suicide at the queen's coronation ceremony.
Yan Shu really thought that Queen Dowager Zhao Jing wanted her dead so that her death would make way for the Chu family to become queen.
But who would have thought that Empress Dowager Zhao Jing's real intention was to kill Xiao Yu.
At this moment, Yan Shu already suspected that there was something seriously wrong with the bottle of poison given to her by Empress Dowager Zhao Jing.
Because on the day of the Queen's coronation ceremony, the wine that Yan Shu prepared for herself was clearly poisoned.
The wine jug had a special mechanism designed on it. She had practiced it many times and there was no way she could get it wrong.
So the wine must have been tampered with by Empress Dowager Zhaojing's people.
Yan Shu recalled with a pale face.
When Xiao Yu heard that Yan Shu was going to drink the poisoned wine herself, his pupils suddenly shrank.
"You wanted to drink the poisoned wine yourself? But why did you drink it? Could it be that you..." Xiao Yu seemed in disbelief.
That day he went to Suining Palace, and Chu told him.
Yan Shu already knew everything about his past.
Knowing that he was once the blood of King Xiao Wei, knowing how humble he was in the past.
In addition, after discovering the contraceptive drug, she now felt disgusted and hated him in every way.
So Empress Dowager Zhaojing made a bet with him.
Betting on whether Yan Shu would rather kill him than become his queen at the coronation ceremony.
That's why Xiao Yu felt so complicated and painful when he saw Yan Shu pouring wine for him.
Even when he drank the wine, Xiao Yu still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
He was hoping that the wine might not be poisonous.
Maybe his Shushu doesn't want him to die.
But when he took the first sip, Xiao Yu knew he had lost the bet.
As the poisonous wine churned through his internal organs, tearing at his entrails, he spit out blood.
From that moment on, his world became extremely dark.
It turns out that this life is no different from the previous one, and his Shushu still hates him as much as before.
But Yan Shu now said that he wanted to drink the poisoned wine himself, and a trace of confusion flashed across Xiao Yu's eyes.
He suddenly recalled his previous life, when Yan Shu also committed suicide by drinking poison, and his heart suddenly ached.
So, is his Shushu going to leave him again?
Is it because you know his vile past that you would rather die than be with him?
Thinking of how she drank that glass of wine so resolutely that day.
Xiao Yu felt a surge of fear in his heart.
Fortunately, fortunately, the cup he drank was the poisoned wine, if Shushu had left him like she did in the previous life.
Xiao Yu didn't dare to think about what he would become without Yan Shu.
At this moment, he looked at the still lively girl in front of him, his cold long fingers stroking the side of her face, and the corners of her narrow eyes were flushed.
"Does Shushu hate me so much? She would rather die than be my queen..."
Looking at Xiao Yu's eyes that seemed to be filled with hidden pain, Yan Shu suddenly became furious. Not knowing what he had misunderstood again, she immediately began to explain, "What are you imagining? It was indeed me who wanted to drink the poisoned wine, but it was Empress Dowager Zhao Jing who forced me to do it!"
Yan Shu wiped the tears from her face. Thinking of the despicable methods of Empress Dowager Zhao Jing, she burst into tears of anger and grievance. "She used your past and my mother's life to threaten me, saying that if I committed suicide on the day of the coronation ceremony, she would let you and my mother go. I had no choice but to agree to her. Who knew her true intention was to use me to kill you..."
Yan Shu felt a little scared as she spoke.
He looked at Xiao Yu's pale face and suddenly felt a little worried.
"Are you really okay with the alcohol you drank? Have you called a doctor to check it out?" After saying this, Yan Shu looked at the wound on Xiao Yu's chest that was still bleeding. Her eyes suddenly felt sore again. She pulled her sleeves and blocked it against her chest. She was really angry and scared.
"Can't you just speak properly? Why do you always have to use a knife?"
After listening to the girl's explanation, Xiao Yu's still dark eyes gradually brightened up.
He held Yan Shu's hand, and his usually calm and cold tone now carried a hint of urgency and disbelief.
"Doesn't Shushu dislike me? Didn't Chu tell you everything about my past?"
His blood is so dirty and his past is so vile.
They were treated just like livestock, used as poison vessels for King Xiao Wei.
Doesn't she care at all?
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, a trace of confusion flashed across Yan Shu's eyes. She didn't know why Xiao Yu thought so.
"Why should I dislike you? They use you as a poison vessel, torturing you every day. Aren't they the ones who are disgusting?"
That day, when Yan Shu heard Empress Dowager Zhao Jing mocking Xiao Yu's past, she was already indignant.
She didn't understand why Empress Dowager Chao Jing said these words without any guilt or remorse, but in such a condescending tone.
It was obvious that from the beginning to the end, the only ones who did evil were King Xiao Wei and those members of the Xiao royal family who bullied the weak and feared the strong.
And they are both sons of Ningguo Jun.
Why should Xiao Yu endure all this for no reason?
They imposed all these sufferings on him, and in the end they still despised him for being so lowly. They are the ones who deserve to go to hell.
Yan Shu also didn't understand why Xiao Yu was so obsessed with his past.
This is obviously not something he can choose.
Yan Shu then took Xiao Yu's cold hand, which was resting on her cheek, and could not help but complain, "Do you always think that I would despise and hate you because of your past? If so, you really underestimate me."
Yan Shu said this with some anger, "If Empress Dowager Zhao Jing doesn't tell me, are you going to keep it a secret from me?"
"And that medicine, if I hadn't discovered it, how long would you have continued to deceive me?"
Looking at Yan Shu's tearful eyes, it seemed like the tears were about to fall.
Xiao Yu's eyes suddenly panicked, and he immediately shook his head and said, "Of course not."
The cold and slender palm wrapped around the girl's warm hand, and a complicated look passed across his face, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.
"That's just a drug that sterilizes men. I... just don't want to have children."
Listening to Xiao Yu's dry words, Yan Shu thought of something and suddenly felt that everything seemed to have an answer. A hint of disbelief instantly appeared in her dark eyes.
"Are you drinking this medicine because of your past?"
When Xiao Yu heard this, his expression paused slightly, and then he turned his face away without denying it.
When Yan Shu saw his expression, she knew that she had guessed at least 70% right.
I suddenly felt anxious and angry, thinking Xiao Yu was a fool.
Since it is because of his past, he has to sterilize himself.
If this were to be made known to others, I'm afraid no one in the world would dare to believe it.
Yan Shu really wanted to scold him at this moment.
But now, looking at Xiao Yu's wound that was still bleeding, he felt that now was not the time to scold him, so he spoke.
"I'll go get the doctor. You wait here!"
But before Yan Shu could take even half a step, Xiao Yu reached out and pulled her back.
"Don't go!"
Yan Shu suddenly felt helpless and a little angry: "But you are still bleeding!"
But Xiao Yu just shook his head and said it was okay.
"It's just a little skin breakage, it's nothing serious."
Of course Yan Shu didn't believe him at this moment, so she raised her hand and directly pulled open the collar of his shirt.
Looking at the knife wound on the chest, blood was oozing out, but fortunately it was not too deep.
Yan Shu was no longer so worried, but she still had to call the medical officer, otherwise what if the wound got infected?
So Xiao Yu finally couldn't persuade Yan Shu, so he had to go out and ask Zhou Tong to ask someone to go to the Imperial Medical Bureau to find someone.
When the medical officer arrived at Baohua Palace, although he saw that the king and the queen seemed to have had an argument and the atmosphere was strange, he did not dare to ask any more questions.
He could only carefully treat Xiao Yu's chest wound with medicine and then bandage it.
Before leaving, he also reminded the king not to act drastically in the next few days.
Yan Shu was worried and asked a few more questions about the poisoned wine.
The medical officer just shook his head and said that he did not detect any poison in Xiao Yu's body, so he should be fine.
Yan Shu finally felt relieved after hearing this.
After the medical officer left, Yan Shu looked at Xiao Yu who was sitting on the small couch, and walked over to sit down with him.
She looked at Xiao Yu's extremely pale face, her eyes welling up with tears and mixed feelings in her heart.
If it weren't for Xiao Yu's special physique, if he had really died from drinking the poisoned wine that day, then he would have been killed by her.
Although it was not her intention to kill him, she was indeed the one who poured the poisoned wine.
Just like before, it was not her intention to push Xiao Yu into the snake cave, but it was indeed she who pushed him.
She really did, and did a lot of things that almost got him killed.
"What's wrong?" Looking at the dejected girl sitting next to him, the young king gently pinched her chin and turned her towards him.
"Didn't the doctor say it was nothing serious?" Xiao Yu thought Yan Shu was angry about the wound on his chest.
But Yan Shu just sighed, and looked at him with her dark almond-shaped eyes.
"Xiao Yu, don't you hate me at all?"
She didn't care that she pushed him into a snake den, and she didn't care that she offered him poisoned wine.
Yan Shu felt a little complicated and didn't understand why Xiao Yu had such deep feelings for her?
He could easily forgive the person who nearly killed him several times. Doesn't he have any hatred towards him at all?
When Xiao Yu heard this, a hint of darkness flashed across his eyes.
Hate her?
Of course he hated it when he crawled out of the snake cave covered in blood.
He planned every step carefully and became the Crown Prince of Xiao State just to get her to his side one day and take revenge on her.
He deliberately planned the coup just to see her crawl at his feet and beg for mercy.
But when he saw her tearful eyes on the night of the palace coup, all the hatred in Xiao Yu's heart disappeared.
If it weren't for the cup of poisoned wine at the Paradise Banquet in the previous life, they wouldn't have become entangled in such hatred.
As if he thought of something, a trace of surprise suddenly flashed across Xiao Yu's eyes, and he finally asked.
"Could it be that the cup of poisoned wine that Shushu served at the Paradise Banquet was also done by the Chu family?
