Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Xiao Zeyu ordered people to bring Ming Zhu over. The beautiful woman that he had not seen for more than ten days had become withered. She no longer had any charm. She curled up on the ground, like rotten meat without bones.
Xiao Zeyu looked down at Ming Zhu from his seat. He didn’t feel any pity for her and asked coldly,
“You want to see me?”
“I really can’t take it anymore. I’m willing to hand over the antidote.”
Ming Zhu forced herself up. She previously wanted to use Li Daniu to save her life. Now, she wished she could die immediately. This endless torture was more terrifying than death.
“Alright, speak.”
Xiao Zeyu ordered the military doctor to go over and record it. Ming Zhu did not have the antidote on her. If she said she would hand over the antidote, she would just hand over the formula.
“Emperor, before I hand over the formula, can you promise me one request?” Ming Zhu didn’t immediately tell him the antidote formula. Instead, she looked up at Xiao Zeyu and asked for a promise.
“Tell me first.”
Xiao Zeyu’s face was cold, and he didn’t give her any promises. A defeated general had no right to make any requests.
“I only wish for a quick death. After I die, I beg the emperor to return my ashes to the Kazak Kingdom. I don’t want to die in a foreign land.”
Ming Zhu recalled the glory and happiness when she was a princess, and tears streamed down her face. If only her father and brothers had not been so ambitious, they would still be a happy family now.
It would be great if she and her sister didn’t want to take revenge. Although the country was destroyed, they could still live a carefree life with money. However, there was no medicine for regret in the world. They had to bear the consequences.
The winner was king, and the loser was a thief. Humans had to accept their fate!
“Sure. If your antidote can cure Li Daniu, I will grant you a quick death.”
Xiao Zeyu agreed to this request. Once a person died, the debt would be settled. No matter how great her sin was, it would be enough if she paid with her life. He would not be like the father and son of the Wan family, insulting the dead. Ming Zhu’s eyes lit up. She looked at Xiao Zeyu and asked a question that had always been hidden in her heart,Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
Your Majesty, I would like to ask, why didn’t you get the love gu?”
Her Master had said that no one could fend off the love gu. No matter how high his cultivation and willpower were, it was useless.
Thus, she was confident she could toy with Xiao Zeyu, but she didn’t expect her efforts to go to waste.
“Put it aside for now.”
Xiao Zeyu didn’t dare to give this medicine to Li Daniu before he was sure. He wasn’t afraid of being criticized by the world, but he didn’t want to kill his brother with his own hands. Xiao Zeyu dismissed everyone to visit Li Daniu.
Because he was afraid of trouble, Xiao Zeyu brought Li Daniu to stay in the palace. Li Shuang ‘er would come over every day to care for her brother, and Xiao Ying would accompany her every time she came.
Because she missed her child, Xiao Ying couldn’t sleep or eat well. She was so thin that she could fall with a breeze. The carefree girl in the past was now depressed and silent. Even if she was in the house, she didn’t know where her heart had flown to.
She missed the child and was worried that Sister-in-law could not save Li’er. She missed Sister-in-law and was worried that she would encounter danger outside alone, and even thought...
She thought of the culprit who had caused her to be heartbroken and caused her child to be poisoned!
“How is Daniu?”
When Xiao Zeyu visited Li Daniu, the guards had just finished cleaning Li Daniu and changed him into clean clothes. Li Daniu was currently unconscious and had to rely on others to serve him. He was such a strong man, but he was now so skinny that only a handful of bones were left.
Although Li Shuang ‘er tried her best to feed her big brother, making everything into liquid food and feeding him spoonful by spoonful, Li Daniu would not swallow it on his own.
In the end, Xiao Zeyu came up with an idea. He made a funnel. The small end was aimed at Li Daniu’s throat, and the big end was used to pour food into it. This was how Li Daniu had been able to survive until now.
“Brother Shuisheng, my brother still hasn’t woken up. Did you find a doctor?” Li Shuang’ er’s eyes reddened when she saw Xiao Zeyu. Who else could if even the emperor, Brother Shuisheng, couldn’t save her big brother?
“I found a few, but I’ve seen their prescriptions. None of them work. If I use them rashly, I might end up killing Daniu.”
Xiao Zeyu shook his head and looked at Li Daniu, lying on the hospital bed. For the first time, he felt helpless. Was he going to watch his good brother die in front of him?
Xiao Ying looked at her brother and asked,
“Brother, is there any news about my sister-in-law?
“If she comes back, Brother Daniu will be saved.”
“No, there’s no news at all.”
At the mention of Su Qing, Xiao Zeyu’s heart tightened. He regretted not accompanying her to find the snow lotus.
As the siblings were talking, they heard the eunuch’s sharp voice shouting anxiously,
“Don’t barge in; wait for me to report to the Emperor..”
