She wanted to go back to her room to put her hair back in a bun, or sleep with her hair down. She pulled her hands off the door frame with some effort and was about to turn around when she heard Shangguan Jinghong's rough voice, asking fiercely, "What are you doing here?"
His voice was filled with great hostility, but without having to listen hard, one could hear the trembling in it, as well as some forced emotion.
She looked up somewhat mechanically and answered, "I came here to thank you for your gift. Now, perhaps I also want to tell you that the couch behind you is where I will become your bride on the wedding day."

Thanks for reading. See you tomorrow, guys.
265 The Prince Wants to Divorce His Concubine
After saying this, I thought it was stupid. What's the point of saying this if I want to be his bride here
She smiled and turned around.
A pain spread from her heart like a needle. She had no strength to walk anymore and slowly bent down.
Blame fate
If he had not lost his memory, even if she still could not leave, she would not love him again and would not be trapped in the evil deeds that followed.
He was as vivid as a blank sheet of paper in front of her eyes, as if he loved her deeply, and she finally responded to him. On the night when they slept on the same bed in Tianshen Village, she had made up her mind that she loved him to the point of no return, and that she would eventually part when he went to war, and she would leave with her memories. From then on, they supported each other and forgot about each other. She died, and he grew old. Isn't that good
Because the pain in her heart was too deep, and he was not the complete him today after all.
But fate was so unpredictable that even this small wish could not be fulfilled.
He was so sensitive that he saw through her intention to leave and asked for a child. He met Shangguan Jingcong and it was full of twists and turns, and there were many misunderstandings.
Should he blame fate or blame him for being too persistent? Should he blame her for being able to give him everything except a child
Perhaps, in the eyes of others, she is now in a state of poverty and pride, and deserves to die.
So what.
She never regretted her decision that night in Tianshen Village: cherish what she has.
Unfortunately, his love was just this. If she loved someone, she would not let anyone else touch her again, but he ended up being involved with Shen Qingling.
And now, she finally truly understood what Qin Ge said: Emotions can damage your intelligence.
Even though he knew that Bishui was lying, he still came over.
Shen Qingling was indeed her nightmare, but seeing them like this, her weak heart could no longer bear it.
So, this ending suits her very well.
Since he has promised to be my favorite, I will not break his promise.
"Master Qiao..."
She knelt on the ground, the feeling of the knife cutting her made it difficult for her to breathe... As an anxious and panicked voice sounded above her head, someone reached out to help her, but was immediately interrupted by a stern voice, "Don't touch her."
Jing Ping's hand shook and froze in front of her, unable to move forward or backward for a moment.
"Qiaochu, how many times are you going to use this trick?"
Shangguan Jinghong's voice behind him was full of coldness and sarcasm.
It was ironic that her heart was still fine at noon, but now he no longer believed it.
She didn't know where the strength came from, but she gritted her teeth, stood up, and looked back at him. She wanted to see what kind of determination was in his eyes at this moment.
"Master, how about I escort Master Qiao back to his room?"
Behind the scenes, Fang Ming suggested, and Prince Ning also spoke up, "Eighth brother, Zong Pu and I have discussed this, and Concubine Qiao is now... no longer suitable to participate in our affairs."
"Thank you, Manager Fang, but it's not necessary."
Prince Ning's words made Qiaochu feel even colder. She rejected Fang Ming and finally looked indifferently at the man in front of her.
Shangguan Jinghong's eyes were still stern as he stared at her fiercely, his body trembling and unstable, perhaps because of the alcohol or some other reason.
Shen Qingling's eyes moved, and she raised her hand to grab his sleeve, "Jinghong..."
Shangguan Jinghong glanced at the softness in his arms.
Qiaochu felt an itch in his throat and something came up, sweet and fishy, some of it overflowed from his lips.
She raised her hand to wipe it, and saw a red and black spot on the back of her hand, which was shocking. She put her hand down at a loss, and when she looked up, she saw that Shangguan Jinghong and Shen Qingling in front of her had changed their expressions.
Shangguan Jinghong's pair of sharp eyes were instantly filled with shock and anger.
She knew that he was angry, but as for panic, she seldom saw this expression on his face. He suddenly felt a little desolate and a little funny. When he smiled, her heart was immediately touched. She reached out and pressed her chest tightly, but still curled up in pain. The strength in her body began to be drained away bit by bit.
"Qiao Fei..."
“Outstanding!”
Beside her ears, Shangguan Jinghong screamed, drowning out the voices that seemed to be from Prince Ning and Jing Ping and others. She looked at the ground getting closer and closer in a daze, but her body was quickly hugged into a strong chest.
"Why is this happening..."
Tall men quickly gathered around, and the one who spoke seemed to be Zong Pu.
She squinted her eyes and looked at the man holding her. The strong smell of alcohol made her nostrils twitch. He was half-kneeling on the ground. Her left hand was held in his arms, unable to move. She wanted to raise her right hand to cover her nose.
"Be good, don't move."
Shangguan Jinghong spoke in an unsteady voice and roughly clamped her wrist under his long fingers.
As soon as he put his hand on her wrist, he was already shocked. He picked her up horizontally and walked quickly to the couch.
Qiaochu's forehead was soaked with sweat from the pain, but he angrily scolded Shen Qingling who was still standing beside the couch, "Get out of here, she needs it!"
Shen Qingling finally got angry and sneered, "Shangguan Jinghong, one day, when you regain your memory, you will regret what you have done to me these days!"
She was about to say something else, but she saw a fierce light in Shangguan Jinghong's eyes, like a wounded beast. She was shocked. Looking at his expression, it seemed that he would attack her at any time if he was not holding someone in his arms.
On the other side, Prince Ning and Zong Pu quickly pulled Shen Qingling away.
Shangguan Jinghong immediately put Qiaochu on the couch.
Qiaochu looked at where he was, his body trembled violently, and regardless of the burden that speaking would add to his heart, he stared at Shangguan Jinghong, "Not here, I would rather die here than die."
Shangguan Jinghong was also shocked by her words. Seeing the tears in her eyes, he remembered that she had just said that she was going to be his bride here, but he was here with another woman... Shen Qingling had invited him, and he hated her deeply. He did some intimate things to Shen Qingling. Although he held on to an inexplicable stubborn rationality and did not take Shen Qingling, he did sleep with Shen Qingling on the couch... When he thought of it, his heart was suddenly cut by a knife, and the blood in his body cooled down. The fear of losing her completely swept through every inch of his skin.
266 The Prince Wants to Divorce His Concubine
-
This was because the poison that Qiaomei had given her that day triggered her existing heart disease. He had checked it in Tianshen Village as early as now. The poison itself had not yet reached the stage of taking effect, but she had two attacks, one in Tianshen Village and one at this moment.
She told him that the poison was in the palace, and he had used a trick to get it from Qiaomei.
Last night he tortured her until she fell asleep, and immediately got up to go to the pharmacy in the palace to look for medicine. He had no memories, so he searched drawer by drawer, place by place, and it took him half a night to find the medicine that he had hidden so secretly... The antidote was now being refined in the furnace.
The poison is not a big deal, as it can be eliminated by taking the antidote later. But now the mind has been greatly stimulated, and the poison has induced a heart disease.
The thirst this time was more severe than in Tenjin Village.
But why was it that the person she loved the most was not him but his brother, and why did her heart attack again when she saw him like this
He stroked her sweaty forehead with a trembling hand and shouted to the servants in front of the bed, "Go to Concubine Qiao's room immediately and get my medicine box."
Upon hearing this, the old man ran out immediately.
Qiaochu wanted to break free from the big hands that were tightly gripping her shoulders, but she was powerless. Shangguan Jinghong's red eyes were swaying in front of her. She wanted to speak, but he lowered his head and gently kissed her lips. Zhou Yi's lips on hers trembled violently, "Don't talk, don't waste any more energy. I know you don't want to be here, but you can't move now, otherwise it will only increase the burden on your heart. After I give you the injection, I will take you back to the room as soon as the situation stabilizes."
She raised her hands with great effort and placed them on his chest. Shangguan Jinghong lowered her head in shock, gritted her teeth, sat up straight, and held him in her arms, "Okay, okay, you say."
"You think that I explained to you only because of my mother's matter. You said that no matter how much I say, you won't listen. I still want to say that I went out today just to make it clear to King Xia that he and I are just friends... Whether you believe it or not, I will only say it this time..."
Trying to speak was just making things difficult for myself. A strong pain immediately hit my heart, as if my entire heart was torn apart.
Qiaochu laughed at herself, not knowing whether she was laughing at herself or at him. Suddenly, she felt an icy chill on her face, and something dripped onto her skin. She had been squinting her eyes, and now she raised her head with some effort to look at him, only to see that he was smiling too. His smile was pure, and a bit like the flawless and clean smile he pretended to have on the day they first met. Unfortunately, the curve of his mouth looked old and desolate, as if covered with dust mites.
His eyes were still fixed on her, but they were full of tears.
She reached out and stroked his face, smiling, "Jinghong, your love is always just like this."
Shangguan Jinghong closed his eyes tightly.
He believed her words.
He believed it now; her illness spoke for itself.
He also suddenly understood that the reason why she refused to give him a child and was disloyal was because Shangguan Jinghong was so unbearable to her that he could not imagine it.
He had forgotten it long ago!
He only heard her talk about it briefly and indifferently, except for the incident in Tianshen Village, when she became very emotional and said that Shangguan Jinghong had thought about killing her and even abused her.
But it was too late.
Shangguan Jinghong's heart tightened in pain and he couldn't say a word. It was as if the knife had suddenly grown several times bigger, cutting deep into his heart. Ever since she touched his face, he was ecstatic, his heart was so excited that it seemed to jump out, but now he quickly withered and gritted his teeth before he could speak, "Chuchu, please don't say anything. You can't bear it. It's me who is despicable. After you get better, I will let you beat and scold me. If you don't like it, I will sleep outside your room and guard you like I did in the doctor's room. Okay, don't say anything now."
Shangguan Jinghong's expression and words were full of tears, and every word she said was heard in a low voice. Except for the old friend who left the study, everyone in the room was terrified, but they couldn't help but admit that no matter what happened between Qiaochu and King Xia, between her and Shangguan Jinghong, no one else could say a word.
Shangguan Jinghong is madly in love with her!
Shen Qingling gritted her teeth and suppressed the urge to run away. Just like the time on the cliff, she didn't want anything to happen to Qiaochu!
She wants to see with her own eyes that Qiaochu is safe!
In this way, when the real Shangguan Jinghong comes back, he will know how he has wronged the woman he truly loves.
Although she was thinking rationally, she suddenly thought that in a place where she couldn't see, he had treated her like this. How could a prince be so doting on a woman by standing outside her room...
If he... if he recovered his memory and didn't treat her like this, she would definitely ignore him!
Shangguan Jinghong said this, but saw that Qiaochu was silent and her eyes were a little dazed. He was shocked and suppressed the heart that was about to jump out of his throat. He forced a smile and patted her face, coaxing her: "Qiaochu, talk, if you have anything to say to me, just say it, and I will do it for you when you are better."
He felt sorry for her because it was painful to speak, but if she fell asleep now, it would be troublesome, and he was afraid that she would never wake up again.
He thought, at this moment, no matter what she said, he would accept it, and if she got better, even if she asked him to die immediately, he would agree to it. But suddenly he thought, he couldn't die, maybe he should try to recover his memory, only by knowing their past, he could find a way to open her heart and let her accept him again.
Because he knew clearly that this time, she would never forgive him no matter what.
Qiaochu was very sleepy, and she hugged her in a warm embrace. Her eyelids were heavy, and she just wanted to fall asleep, but she could only hear the voice in her ears. She heard his words, but she wanted him to sleep in her room.
