Chapter 783 - The Prince Is Well (32)
Chapter 783: The Prince Is Well (32)
Three days had passed since Ji Xun went into a coma.
He never woke up once in these three days.
Lord Yi’an named all the doctors and imperial physicians in the capital as quacks.
Even Priest Yongyan could only shake his head.
Before he said Ji Xun would be fine if he stayed with Ming Shu, but why did it become like this?
Priest Yongyan also couldn’t think it through. The prince was well at that time.
The princess consort also accompanied him.
Ming Shu sat beside the bed with her head lowered, and the expression on her face was totally blocked off.
“Princess Consort.”
Ming Shu looked up to the speaker, her eyes calm.
Lord Yi’an looked like he was ten years older, and very tired. “You should go back and take a rest, I’ll stay with him for a while.”
“No, I’d better accompany him here,” Ming Shu said lightly. “If he wakes up and doesn’t see me, he’ll cry again. It’s very troublesome.”
Lord Yi’an moved his lips and looked at his son on the bed. “He was doing quite well… But how…”
His voice sounded like he was being choked by someone.
Then it was a sigh.
Lord Yi’an found a place to sit down as well. The two stayed with the man on the bed in silence.
Lord Yi’an was old and couldn’t bear staying up so late, so he left after it began getting darker.
Ming Shu supported her chin and studied the man lying in bed. He seemed to be sleeping.
She reached out to draw along his eyes, brows, and cheekbones.
The warmth from him passed all the way to the edge of her heart along her fingers, tender like water.
As the minutes ticked by, Ming Shu leaned against the bed, resting.
“Wife…”
Ming Shu seemed to hear Ji Xun’s voice in a trance, but she felt she couldn’t move, like she was trapped by something.
“Don’t move.” Ji Xun’s voice sounded in her ear, very close, like it came from her heart.
“Listen to me,” Ji Xun continued in a low voice. “I’m leaving, but we’ll meet again soon, believe me, very soon… I’ll find a way and leave with you.”
“I don’t know if you’ll keep this memory…”
Ji Xun murmured to himself.
Ming Shu couldn’t talk. She didn’t know why he could.
After a moment, Ji Xun continued, “I’ve left something to you and I’ll tell you how to use it. If… If you want to be with me, just do as I tell you. In the future, no matter how far we’ll be, I’ll be able to find you.
“Of course, if you don’t do what I say, the process is perhaps going to be a little awkward, but I’ll still get the result that I want. So, best of all, do what I say.”
The last sentence was also a murmur. It seemed he was very afraid that he might frighten her.
But his tone… was originally very creepy.
Ji Xun gave instructions on how to use what he had left for her.
“…I’m leaving now, see you next time.”
Ji Xun’s voice faded away, and gradually, Ming Shu could move her stiff body.
She opened her eyes in a rush. The man was still lying quietly on the bed.
Ming Shu bent over to feel his pulse—it had stopped.
He left something?
Where is it?
Ming Shu took a quick glance over the bed yet found nothing.
Ming Shu opened Ji Xun’s hands and really found something like a gold coin in his right hand.
There was a small hole in the middle, with strange patterns, and it looked a little messy. It was disorganized and not in a particular form.
Swoosh—
A gust of wind passed by and the room plunged into darkness.
Ming Shu unconsciously clutched the gold coin, but no one attacked her.
“Hehe, little cutie, we meet again.” The enchanting voice sounded from the top of Ming Shu’s head.
Ming Shu looked up. It was the enchanting woman she had met in the Yunxi Pavilion before.
The woman sat on the beam, throwing and catching a gold coin which was the same as that in Ming Shu’s hand. “He’s so careless to give it to you this way. What if others grab it?”
Ming Shu frowned. He left two?
The woman jumped down from the beam. With a fragrance striking her nose, Ming Shu saw that gold coin in the woman’s hand disappeared. “I’m sorry, but I can’t give this to you, or it’ll break the rules. You can’t have this as a virtual character, so little cutie, would you give that one to me as well?”
Ming Shu smiled. “You’re really not picky.”
Then she handled the gold coin to Little Beastie. Little Beastie took a bite of it, which almost made its teeth fall out. Little Beastie then threw the gold coin into the space in tears.
Luo Yan looked at the woman’s body and complained, “Alas, I can do nothing about it. I didn’t find a proper body so had to use this temporarily.”
“You can live so delicately with an inappropriate body, so impressive.”
Luo Yan formed his psychopath’s smile. “Don’t try to change the topic, this is not cute. That thing is going to get you into trouble, so you’d better give it to me.”
“You want it? Okay, kill me now.”
Luo Yan may have thought of what happened last time and his expression distorted. “I won’t kill you.”
Killing her would be a nightmare.
“Then you won’t get it.”
Luo Yan was silent for a while. “You don’t believe you’re a virtual character, why don’t you think about it? Why do you think you can have infinite chances of resurrection?”
“Because I’m powerful.”
“…Don’t you think it’s very much like a game setup?”
“No.” Ming Shu was determined.
“What’s the use of self-deception?”
“What’s the use of lying to me?”
Luo Yan: “…” She’s incurable!
Just fight!
The killing intent around Luo Yan strengthened. Ming Shu decided to draw first blood, so she picked up the vase next to her and threw it over.
“Shit!”
Luo Yan cursed and then also entered into combat mode quickly.
Ming Shu wanted to get that gold coin back.
She didn’t know what it was, but Ji Xun said he could find her through it, so it must be very important.
Luo Yan’s attack was deadly fierce, fatal, and vicious.
But each time Ming Shu voluntarily sought death, he would avoid her.
Rumble—
Luo Yan’s movement paused and he was kicked down to the ground all at once. The ground began to shake at the same time.
“Where’s the thing?” Ming Shu pressed Luo Yan.
“Shit.” Luo Yan cursed, but then he revealed the psychopath’s smiling face again. “Those who want to take something from me are all dead.”
Ming Shu pressed harder against Luo Yan and asked in the same tone, “Where is it?”
Luo Yan felt pain in that instant. Some cold, thin objects stuck into his skin and bones.
Sure enough…
Every time there was a surprise for him.
A painful expression appeared on Luo Yan’s coquettish face, but he was still smiling, so it looked quite weird.
Ming Shu began to search him, but found nothing. Probably he also had a storage space.
The shaking became heavier. Ming Shu frowned but didn’t stop searching.
She was out of energy…
She couldn’t even feel the ordinary space now, not to mention the space of a loaner.
But…
She could try to destroy it.
“You’re crazy!” A thin, weak, and tender voice sounded.
