There were scabbed scars on Xiao Changyu's face, two very deep ones, dark red and glaring.
After drinking the poisoned wine, he fell limp in Bian Xianyi's arms, his face turning pale, sweat oozing from his forehead: "Princess, I'll drink it for you, maybe it can ease your... hatred?"
"Liulang, Liulang..." Big tears fell from Bian Xianyi's eyes. With trembling hands, she tried to wipe Xiao Changyu's face, which was full of pain. More and more sweat seeped out. She could feel Xiao Changyu's body trembling slightly, just like her heart.
"Don't cry..." Xiao Changyu raised his hand with great effort, and Bian Xianyi held it tightly. "It's my incompetence that I can't be with you properly. I asked you to take risks in order to stay with me. I should bear the consequences for this."
"No, no, it's my fault. I shouldn't have seduced you..." Bian Xianyi shook her head, tears splashing out of her eyes, "I don't deserve you..."
In fact, she was not attracted to him at the beginning. He was the legitimate son of the Shangshu Mansion, and among all the princes, Xiao Changyu was only slightly more prestigious than the twelfth prince. She was proud and arrogant, and she was always unwilling to lose to others. Xiao Changyu had the status of a prince, but was not favored by the emperor and did not make any progress.
She had never thought of marrying him until the Shangshu Mansion collapsed and she became a criminal slave. She knew that she had no hope of becoming a legitimate wife in this life, so she remembered the prince who was still infatuated with her. She began to try her best to please him and win his heart step by step.
She had never thought that he would treat her so well. In order to keep his virginity for her, he refused the teaching maid awarded by His Majesty several times. He refused marriage twice for her and rejected His Majesty's kindness in granting marriage. For her, he was willing to give up the dignity of a prince just to give her the status of his legitimate wife.
"I... I know everything..." Xiao Changyu smiled while enduring great pain, "These... are not important. After all, I have... received your sincere treatment..."
"Liu Lang, no, I can't live without you..." This is the person who treats her the best in the world, more sincere than her parents, "Ah Xi, Ah Xi!"
The stunned Ah Xi finally came to his senses and rushed forward to take Xiao Changyu's pulse. He was shocked after the diagnosis. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Shen Xihe, who still looked indifferent.
"Miss Bian... yes, it's a poisonous mushroom." Sui Axi's face turned pale.
Bian Xianyi's pupils constricted and her whole body stiffened. It was the poison she had pretended to be. Shen Xihe really found it just to make her fake it come true and reap what she had sown, but in the end he harmed the person she loved the most.
Soon, blood began to seep from the corners of Xiao Changyu's lips, nostrils, and eye sockets.
Shen Xihe lowered his eyes: "You guys go, this matter is over, please take care of yourself."
Bian Xianyi's eyes were dull and she was distraught as she helped Xiao Changyu up with the help of Sui Axi. Sui Axi spent a lot of money to buy a carriage and drove out of the city quickly.
After driving the car to the outskirts of Beijing, Sui Axi jumped out of the car and said, "Miss Bian, let me give His Highness acupuncture."
A glimmer of light appeared in Bian Xianyi's dull eyes. She did not dare to delay and immediately gave up her seat, helped to take off Xiao Changyu's clothes, and stared at Sui Axi while he was giving her acupuncture.
An hour later, Sui Axi's face turned pale and he withdrew his hand. He touched Xiao Changyu's pulse. The two held their breath and concentrated. Every moment seemed as long as a year. After waiting for half an incense stick, Sui Axi felt relieved and tears welled up in his eyes: "It's done, let's find a pharmacy to get the medicine!"
