Chapter 770: The Prince Is Well (19)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Prince Six wouldn’t agree to divorce his wife just like that. He needed time to consider it.
But Ming Shu didn’t care. Apparently she said she was just suggesting it, and that was true.
“Your Highness, it looks like the prince is…” The carriage slowed suddenly and the guard spoke up.
“Which prince?” asked Prince Six.
Which prince would run here in the wilderness?
Ming Shu lifted the curtain and took a look. A man was squatting beside the road in the distance.
He folded his arms around his knees and huddled into a ball; his whole body collapsed in on itself and his clothes were dirty and messy. There were no servant girls or boys with him.
Prince Six hadn’t gotten an answer when Ming Shu got off the carriage and walked over to the person.
Prince Six: “…”
Shouldn’t he be that fool?
The guard soon gave a positive answer to Prince Six.
It was that fool.
Ming Shu caught his arm and squatted down at her convenience. “How are you here? Who brought you here?”
Or it was… that he came here by himself?
After a long while, Ji Xun looked up with a pale face. His lips were abnormally blue, mist suffusing his eyes, and he looked very miserable.
“What happened?” Ming Shu held his shoulder.
“Wife, left, me?” Ji Xun pulled his mouth down and looked like an abandoned puppy.
Ming Shu: “…” I just left for a moment, how is it related to this again?
I’m not arguing with a fool.
Calm down!
Ming Shu avoided that question. “Where do you feel uncomfortable?”
Ji Xun opened his lips and said weakly, “It hurts.”
Ming Shu retained a cool look on her face. “Where does it hurt?”
Ji Xun pointed at his own foot.
Ming Shu made him sit down and lifted his clothes. There was blood oozing out of his ankle and it was no longer the normal red color.
The wound was a snakebite. It shouldn’t be some kind of deadly poison, otherwise Ji Xun wouldn’t be just complaining “it hurts” right now.
But who knows if it’s a pa.s.sive snake venom…
Prince Six’s carriage stopped nearby. He saw Ming Shu bend over and help suck the venom out for Ji Xun, and frowned.
Through a short time of contact with her, he knew this woman was arrogant and willful.
But what she was doing right now…
It shocked him a little. She shouldn’t have done such a thing for a man.
A fool.
Prince Six was lost in his own thoughts when he saw Ming Shu come over with the person in her arms. “Your Highness, I need to borrow your carriage.”
Prince Six: “…”
Can I say no?!
But …
Why did she drive him out!
That was his carriage!
Seeing the carriage leave so quickly, Prince Six touched his own face and took several deep breaths, so as to hold back the impulse to catch up with her and beat her up.
–
Ji Xun left with some others, but got separated from them. He walked there alone by asking the way.
The mansion’s servants were almost startled to death.
Then Ming Shu came back with him, and they were relieved.
But before the sigh of relief was breathed, they heard that the prince was bitten by a snake.
The mansion went into chaos again.
It was already dark when the mansion quieted down.
After a hard day, Ming Shu went to bed early. But in the middle of the night, she suddenly felt Ji Xun approach. He kissed her face, then her lips.
Ming Shu was too lazy to move so just let him be. But he was going too far then.
She had to open her eyes. Ji Xun hovered above her body.
“Why don’t you sleep at this late hour, aren’t you sleepy?”
“Wife, hot,” Ji Xun said in a low voice.
“Go outside and calm down.” Ming Shu pushed him but found his body was not hot, instead, she felt waves of heat in herself.
“I’m not hot. Wife, hug,” Ji Xun said fawningly, “comfortable.”
Ming Shu wanted to get up, but her body was weak.
WTH!
What’s happening?
Ji Xun came closer to kiss her. Ming Shu felt comfortable touching him.
Ming Shu then subconsciously held him tighter.
“Stop that now.” Ming Shu avoided him and squeezed him in her arms.
Ji Xun lay in her arms obediently. “Wife, hug hug, not hot.”
It’s hotter hugging you!
“Wife…” Ji Xun suddenly trembled and his voice became weak.
Ming Shu pressed him beneath her and kissed him all over.
Ji Xun felt numb and feeble all over his body, blood frozen.
Then his faint moan faded vaguely into the background.
–
When Ming Shu woke up the next day, she felt guilty and sat on the bed for a long time.
Ji Xun tilted his head to look at her. “Wife?”
“Get some more sleep.” Ming Shu pushed him back. As the quilt slid down, it revealed the red marks on Ji Xun’s shoulder.
Ji Xun watched Ming Shu put on her clothes, tidy up the room, and even clean up the bit of blood on the bed.
His eyes darkened.
F**k. She’s trying to cover it up again!
He was quite muddleheaded earlier, but last night… He suddenly woke up. The thick fog front of him seemed to have dispersed.
He remembered how he became like this.
He remembered her…
Ming Shu was going to leave the room now.
Ji Xun hurriedly called, “Wife? Where are you going?”
Ming Shu looked back in an instant.
Ji Xun: “…”
A moment later, Ji Xun raised a smile on his face and looked at her directly. The smile remained innocent, just the same as the fool’s, but it seemed a little different.
Ming Shu looked at him for a while then left still without looking back.
Is this psychopath cured?
Sleeping with him can cure the disease?
Scary! I’m running away!
Ji Xun: “…” WTF!
Come back!
Doing bad things without admitting, you should be caught and thrown into the pond!
–
“Your Highness, Your Highness, something is wrong.”
Prince Six put down the book in his hand and looked at the servant running over in a rush. “What’s the matter?”
The servant wiped his sweat. “Princess Consort… Princess Consort broke in and… went to the imperial concubine.”
Prince Six: “…”
He followed the servant to the residence of the imperial concubine and happened to see Ming Shu come out of the room. It was not clear what was going on in the room, but the two guards outside were lying on the ground now.
“Good morning, Your Highness, do you offer breakfast?” Ming Shu greeted with a smile.
What breakfast!
She ran to his mansion and beat his wife, then she asked for breakfast? Why didn’t she just go to heaven!
“Princess Consort, can you explain this?”
“Your wife drugged me, so can’t I beat her?” Ming Shu held her chin high and spoke very unhappily.
Yesterday she sucked the venom for Ji Xun, but then she took the detoxification medicine.
Besides, the snake venom shouldn’t have that kind of effect.
So the only explanation was that Song Yunjiao did it.
Ming Shu went to see a doctor before coming here. She was told that there was a very mild and not fatal poison in her body, and if it was not tested for carefully, it would be very hard to discover.
Usually the hidden poison wouldn’t come out, but once it encountered with something special, the effect would come.
Ming Shu hadn’t touched anything special, but she was affected by the snake venom first, then drank the detoxification medicine and the poison was dissolved.
Then last night happened.
“Drugged you?” Prince Six frowned heavily. “Do you have any evidence?”
“No.” Ming Shu formed a bright smile. “But that doesn’t stop me from suspecting her and beating her up.”
“…”
