Her life is not in much danger...So there is a slight danger to her life...
She"ll be fine anyhow because poisons don"t affect her.
She cannot carry a child....
It doesn"t matter as long as she is fine, right?
No...No... She is not entirely fine...
She cannot carry a child...
SHE CANNOT CARRY A CHILD!
Shengli"s mind took a while deciphering what the physician said, while others were deeply shocked by the revelation.
Shengli remembered all the time his little kitten talked about having his children and he felt a shooting pain in his heart.
It does not matter to me...
It does not...
I only want her to be happy and alive, smiling by my side...
I only want her...
But...
It matters a lot to her...
It will devastate her...
She"ll feel little about her and she hates feeling little...
She learned all the languages and sword play just to be equal to me...
She always wants to be the best for me...
Even though it is nothing for me, she"ll consider this is as a big flaw...
If she knows she has this flaw, She"ll start to hate herself...
She"ll feel inferior, insecure and will deem herself unworthy to stand beside me...
She acts stupid sometimes these days... When it is about me...
She will distance herself from me...
She"ll push me away...
No! I cannot let that happen... I cannot live without her...
Not for this little reason...
SHE MUST NOT KNOW!
Shengli looked at the physician who is the only one other than their family who knows about this... He cannot live...
Feiye who was noticing Shengli standing frozen for a moment and his clueless and panicked expression turning murderous towards the physician and guessed what"s going on his mind.
"Imperial Physician Xuan Li, can you explain what kind of poison my niece got affected with and the antidote for it? We can find any medicine there is", Feiye"s words made Shengli a bit rational.
That"s right! She can be cured! If we find the medicine before she wakes up, she never has to know!
"That... I don"t know what kind of Poison it is... But I"m sure it"s a c.o.c.ktail of many poisons. I... I"ve never come across this poison before... Without knowing the poison, the antidote cannot be derived", the Imperial Physician had a confused and shameful expression. All these years of medical practice and he cannot even give a proper name of the Poison. Is this poison even from the realm of humans?
If he does not know, he need not live either! Shengli decided and before he acted, Feiye with the permission of the Emperor, got the physician to leave and Rijun who was shook to the bones followed him too.
His father will be devastated. Even though he is AoTian"s son, She is the only one of his blood and if she cannot give birth, his father"s bloodline will end with her!
The Emperor tried to talk to Shengli who looked pale and out of sorts. His blue nerves in the forehead were visible indicating how stressed he was and his hands were shaking as he leaned on the wooden part.i.tion of the bed chambers placing his other hand on his heart.
The Emperor knew his brother must be devastated because he cannot have children with her but couldn"t she find all kinds of medicines? If she knew, she"ll find a medicine, right?
The Emperor tried to talk to Shengli but he spoke first, "She must not know of this! I"ll kill the one who tells her about this. It is a promise", he said in a resolute manner.
"But brother, can"t she find rare medicines? Wouldn"t it be better if she knows about it? ", the Emperor wanted to remind Shengli.
Shengli gave a dry snort. If she pulls herself together and tries to find a medicine for her problem, will she be able to find it? Who knows if this is not the doing of the G.o.ds? They clearly don"t want her to be with me! They interrupted our alone time before and are they thinking that I"ll leave her for this reason? They are mistaken! As long as I breath and she breaths, I will only love her! I will never let go of her.
"She must not know", he repeated and went back to Xing"s side leaving the perplexed Emperor.
After she wakes up, I will find a roundabout way for her to try and find medicines for her problem. But I can bet my last coin that she won"t be able to find a medicine there! It does not matter to me. No matter how hard those G.o.ds try to keep her away from me, I will not let her go! She is mine...
Shengli made this decision in his heart and lied next to her and placed his arm around her waist. She felt a little cold that startled him a bit so he held her close so his warmth will pa.s.s to her.
Wake up soon, my moon! I miss hearing your voice!
Shengli could not sleep the whole night. He wanted to know who poisoned her. She had promised him that she won"t deliberately eat poisons. So this poison must be forced on her. If it really was s.h.i.+hong as he suspects, he will give him his own taste of medicine.
_______________________
Xing in the Netherworld didn"t know of the happenings here in the mortal realm and the loss her body had suffered. But years had pa.s.sed there and she could not find a way out and her hope had been dwindled a lot by now and she had secing thoughts about getting back to the land of the living.
Wouldn"t it be much easier to find the river and cross it? Will my mother be there waiting for my father still? Will I be able to meet her?
That"s right! I should try and find my mother. I cannot go back and only pa.s.s the River! Xing came to a conclusion.
Xing was strong and had a really strong will and resolve. But getting trapped in a place with nothingness and gloom had made her hopeless and a pessimistic. Also since she didn"t know that time is pa.s.sing extremely fast in the Netherworld, she lost all hope of even her body remaining.
Xing succ.u.mbing to the temptation of the nothingness of the Netherworld came to the conclusion of accepting her death as expected by the G.o.d of death.
Afterall, this is the place that can break even the strongest of the hearts. No one who entered the realm of the nothingness had escaped its clutches and entered back to the land of the living.
