Chapter 21 - Death of Rong Xun

"Someone is coming to save her. They must not be allowed to run away!" The shouts of the Princess Linlang behind him, as well as the sounds of arrows shooting, kept on coming out.

However, the current Princess Pearl was abnormally calm, because she was currently sitting in Rong Xun's embrace with Rong Xun protecting her from behind. There was nothing in this world that could harm her.

Even if she did, she wouldn't be afraid. With someone she loved the most, it didn't matter even if she lost her life.

In any case, there was nothing else in this world that could be missed besides him.

"Sir."

His vision gradually became clear again. The pearl was brought to the depths of the forest by him, and a seven or eight year old child came out to greet him.

"Let's get in the car." Rong Xun got off the horse first, and then carefully helped her down.

When she truly laid down on the carriage, she felt her whole body go limp, and the pain from her injuries and the fatigue that she had forcefully endured a moment ago returned once again.

"Rong Xun, you —" She turned his head to look at him, obviously wanting to say something to him.

However, before he could finish his words, his mouth was already pressed back by a finger.

"Rest well. We'll talk about it when you wake up. I'll stay here with you. "

Just as he finished speaking, his palm landed on her eyes, blocking out the relatively glaring light outside.

A warm feeling came over her. Her tired eyelids felt as if they were pressed down by something heavy. The tip of her nose was filled with the faint, cold fragrance of his body as she fell into a deep sleep.

"Ming Zhu, Ming Zhu."

In a daze, someone called out to her, and her cheek was gently poked.

At first, she didn't want to pay attention to him. The main reason was that she was sleeping soundly and had no desire to open her eyes.

However, the voice that called her was clearly persistent, and the sensation on her face became more distinct. Finally, she reluctantly opened her eyes and looked around in a daze.

First, she met a pair of gentle eyes. Rong Xun looked at her with a smile.

Facing this kind of smile, she couldn't help but smile back. This feeling was very comfortable, as if her chest was filled with something, causing her to be unable to extricate herself from it.

"You've woken up. I was going to wake you up after you've had enough sleep, but I'm in a hurry to say a few more words to you."

Rong Xun patted her cheeks. His actions were gentle and intimate, obviously wanting her to get up.

Ming Zhu slowly sat up, completely awake. She carefully stared at him.

Rong Xun's face was always full of smiles, but when she was properly seated, he extended his hand and grabbed her.

"Later, in the town, there will be a doctor to treat you. You have to be obedient, take your medicine when you need it, and don't be afraid of pain …"

Rong Xun warned her in detail, and his face was filled with worry. Princess Pearl had a small problem, and that was that he was very afraid of hardships. Usually, when he ate the medicine, as long as Rong Xun was by her side, she would be especially conflicted.

"What are you saying this for? When you saved me, you told me that I'm your wife, so naturally, I need you to feed me medicine."

Princess Pearl raised her head, her face was not red as she said these words, there was no mental pressure at all.

Rong Xun was startled, but immediately laughed out, and caressed her hair.

"Yeah, I want to feed you too, but I'm afraid of getting there."

"What did you say?" Ming Zhu did not hear the latter part of his sentence clearly, and asked with furrowed brows.

But all he received was a gentle smile and the topic was brushed aside.

"Why are your hands so cold?"

The two kept interlocking their fingers, the pearl gradually discovered that something was amiss, and Rong Xun's hands became colder and colder.

Even in the instant she gripped him, his fingers actually shook a few times spasmodically.

Rong Xun withdrew his finger from her hand, shook it a little, and then stuffed it back into her palm.

"You've held it for too long, so it's a bit numb."

Ming Zhu raised her eyes and glared at him, "Nonsense, you were the one who held my hand, and I didn't even feel numb."

When she said this, she didn't dare to look up at him. There were two traces of a suspicious flush on her face. It was obvious that she was somewhat embarrassed.

The two of them had not seen each other for a long time. They were enemies, after all.

Even now that they had met, the two of them had tacitly avoided all topics related to the battlefield in order to avoid making the atmosphere worse.

It was so easy for them to meet each other. They all wanted to be happy with each other and not get entangled in other things.

When Ming Zhu raised her head again, she immediately realised that Rong Xun's face was pale white, even her lips were somewhat parched, without a trace of blood.

She frowned and raised her hand to touch his face.

However, Rong Xun pulled her hand, and placed both of her hands in his palm.

"It's not that I'm ugly, it's just that your face is too red."

When he said these words, Ming Zhu felt her cheeks heat up even more. Presumably, her cheeks were also unimaginably red. She lightly snorted at him.

"You laugh at me."

Rong Xun had been closely staring at her face the entire time. His gaze was focused and serious, as if he could not find enough of it no matter what.

"Is there a wound on my face?" She felt a little uncomfortable.

"No, I just want to have a look at it and I'll earn it with just a glance."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Once I've recovered and Linlang doesn't let you look at me, I'll sneak over to see you."

Ming Zhu comforted him softly. Rong Xun's gaze was still focused on her, as if nailed there, unable to move at all.

As the main general, Ming Zhu had long since become accustomed to this kind of attentive gaze, so she might as well let him see enough.

"If there is a next life, I must find you as soon as possible. I must immediately marry you so that no one can snatch you away. "We won't let anything separate us, be it our homeland or the lives of ordinary people."

When Rong Xun said these words, his gaze was complicated, contained regret, and also carried a bit of resolution.

Ming Zhu was stunned for a moment, then bitterly smiled and said: "Why wait for your next life, this life is enough."

She raised her head and her tone became serious, "There is no need to wait for now. As the heaven and earth shall bear witness, we shall be husband and wife." "Don't say it in such a pitiful tone, as if I had abandoned you. You clearly didn't want me anymore."

From Ming Zhu's tone, there was a hint of accusation. Previously, she was willing to give up everything to return to the mountain forest with Rong Xun, but Rong Xun gave up.

She had always kept this matter in her heart, and now she had to seize the opportunity.

"You won't be able to do it for the rest of your life. I can't let you live and die by yourself. You have to have someone to accompany you."

"What do you mean lonely for a long time? Come with me." Ming Zhu opened her eyes wide and looked at him, full of dissatisfaction.

Rong Xun slowly turned towards her and rested his head on her shoulder.

"I can't do it in this life, I can't do it with you."

"Why can't I? We're not fighting, so you can stay with me." "If Lin Lang disagrees, I'll snatch you away. You are one of my men..."

"You're fine, I'll accompany you in the next life." He took her hand to his lips and kissed her fingertips.

"Rong Xun, don't say those words.

Princess Pearl trembled as an ominous premonition welled up from the bottom of her heart.

She felt as if the person leaning on her shoulder was about to slip away. She immediately put her arms around his back and felt a sticky sensation on her palm.

This feeling was too familiar. It was so familiar that it made her feel terrified.

Spreading out his palm, a crimson patch appeared on his palm.

The smell of blood rushed into her nose. No wonder the smell of blood was lingering around her. It was to cover up the smell of blood.

No wonder he wanted to wake her up. He really wanted to say a few more words to her.

"Rong Xun, Rong Xun..." she called to him.

However, he seemed to be asleep. He leaned against her body just like that, allowing her to shake him with all her strength.

Her long, curly eyelashes did not move at all. The pair of eyes that should have been as bright as stars were now covered, and could no longer emit any of their original brilliance.

"Don't sleep, you big liar, you promised to marry me! I don't want the next life, I want this life, now! "

She didn't even dare to shake him anymore. Rong Xun's face was pale white and her lips were pale white.

"Wait a moment, we're getting married right now."

Her eyes were red, and the tears were in them. The guards would blink and fall, but she kept trying to keep them from flowing.

Rong Xun had always loved her when she was crying, but now that he was asleep, no one would see him crying, much less care about her. So she wanted to hold back his tears.

Ming Zhu sat up straight, allowing him to lean on her shoulder once more. She twined the black hair of the two of them together, turning it into a braid that was intertwined with her heart.

"The heaven and earth are the witnesses, the sun and moon are the witnesses. I, Ming Zhu, and Rong Xun have become husband and wife.

She held Rong Xun's hand, her ten fingers interlocked. There was still blood on her palm, and it was already showing signs of congealing.

"I already said that you loved me the most and when I cried, now that you can't see me, I will cry for nothing." "But it just doesn't listen to me. It just wants to cry and you'll be able to wake up. You love me so much, so how can I bear to live on in this world by myself …"

As she spoke, her voice became choked with sobs. It had become somewhat unclear.

The studio was completely silent. Zheng Ming and the three main stars were together, watching the scene on the screen, were all silent.

This was a very long shot, the bright and beautiful Princess Pearl was crying because of the departure of their lover, but she could not believe that he had just left her.

That kind of silent and enduring cry, yet it was filled with infinite sadness. Each and every word of "Rong Xun" sounded like it was instigating all of that pain into the hearts of the observers.

The audience also had the ability to keep their voices down, so even if the surrounding staff members couldn't see what was happening on the screen, just listening to Xia Han's lines and that kind of sorrowful tone was enough to affect them. Every single one of them automatically held their breaths to prevent themselves from disturbing Director Zheng's emotions.

"Very good, Xia Han's mood is extremely good. Rong Xun, come, this is to give your red packet some pressure. Next time don't be so stingy, you actually abandoned our Princess Pearl without saying anything.

Zheng Ming blinked and praised Xia Han softly. After his emotions changed, he returned to having a teasing look.

He took out a big red packet and stuffed it into Chu Yu's hands. This was the usual practice in dramas, usually, those who performed dead would receive a red packet, not to mention that in this drama, even if Rong Xun suffered so much, it was the Super Star Chu who acted. This red packet was obviously very generous.
