Chapter 69

People always thought their lover the most gorgeous in the world, but they had the opposite attitude towards their rivals, believing that they were always trying to seduce their sweetheart.

Looking from where Lingxiao was, Zixiu and Nangong Du were hugging with each other passionately. However, the fact was that Nangong Du clasped Zixiu’s hands behind his back with one hand and pulled Zixiu to him by grabbing his hair with the other. “What do you mean by ‘get rid of the trouble?’ Honey, so you think it’s a shame to be pregnant with my child, right?!” Nangong Du asked, his face ashen.

“No, I’ve never thought this way…” Zixiu was scared out of his wits when he saw this pervert suddenly go mad and he didn’t notice that Lingxiao had run into the room. Shaking his head instinctively, he managed to calm Nangong Du down before shouting for help, “Physician Ling… Is someone there? His Highness… His Highness is…” The word ‘dying’ stuck in his throat.

Hearing his panic-stricken cries, Lingxiao came back to his senses. After careful observation, this insanely jealous young man finally realized what was going on. In the blink of an eye, he conjured out a silver needle and shot it to Nangong Du.

Next, the prince, who had been as fierce as a tiger, suddenly collapsed in Zixiu’s arms.

“Your Highness!” Zixiu turned paled at once, but he still didn’t notice the existence of Lingxiao. Thinking that Nangong Du was dead, he held him up and shook him desperately. “Your Highness, what’s wrong with you? Your Highness! I didn’t mean that! Your Highness! Your Highness…”

“He’ll be fine!” Lingxiao walked to the bed with a sullen look. Even though he had known that he misunderstood Zixiu just now, he was filled with grief and anger because his sweetheart paid so much attention to Nangong Du that he didn’t even notice him come in! Though Zixiu had made it clear that he never liked Nangong Du, from the way he spoke and acted, Lingxiao could tell that far from hating that damn perverted prince, Zixiu was defending him! “If Zixiu remains here, he may fall in love with Nangong Du over time… Damn it! I’ll never let that happen!”

“Zixiu, follow me! I’m going to get you out of the mansion right now!” Putting aside his ambition to challenge the difficult medical problems and the fame of the Valley of Fallen Blossoms, Lingxiao suddenly gave Nangong Du a shove and then strode out in haste, holding Zixiu’s hand.

Zixiu came back to his senses when he felt a tug at him. He turned and looked at Lingxiao in confusion, and next, he suddenly widened his eyes, full of fear.

“You… What the hell did you do to him?” he asked in a trembling voice.

From his tone and expression, Lingxiao immediately figured out that Zixiu must have misunderstood that he had killed Nangong Du and was about to escape. “How come Zixiu always thinks of me as a vicious man?” he thought sadly. “So what even if I’ve done something to Nangong Du? Shouldn’t that pervert be punished for taking over someone else’s fiancée by force?”

At the thought of this, he grew even more furious. Clenching his teeth, he said, “Nangong Du forced you to marry him, so I must make him pay for it!”

“So you…” Zixiu asked in a panic, trying to probe Lingxiao’s attitude.

Burning with jealousy, Lingxiao answered resentfully, “I blocked his vital acupoint, and if he can’t get his blood circulation back up in an hour, he’ll die!”

Hearing that, Zixiu was even more shocked and he immediately shook off Lingxiao’s hand, as if being electrocuted. “How could you treat him like this? It’s not what you think! Nangong Du… He didn’t force me to marry him!”

“Huh?” Lingxiao froze on the spot as if he had just been struck by lightning. “So you married him of your own accord?” he blurted out.

“Bullshit!” Zixiu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He wondered as a straight man, why God always arranged for him to be someone’s wife or fiancée? How ridiculous!

“I was brought here by a perverted woman who kidnapped me! Nangong Du got drunk that night, so he… Anyway, though he suspected that I was a spy sent by a hostile country, he didn’t kill me, so I don’t think he deserves to die!”

Lingxiao didn’t say anything. After pondering for a while, he showed an expression of loss. Grabbing Zixiu by the hand again, he continued with a gloomy look, “Zixiu, if you don’t want Nangong Du to die, I promise I won’t kill him.”

“What are you talking about? You’re making me… Hey, do you think I’m lying to you?”

Lingxiao remained silent. He did think that Zixiu was defending Nangong Du. Even if Zixiu had been kidnapped by someone else, Nangong Du shouldn’t have kept him in his mansion all the time. Because of him, the innocent Zixiu was almost killed by the assassin and now he was even poisoned, so Lingxiao swore to himself that he wouldn’t let Nangong Du go easily!

Lingxiao’s silence triggered Zixiu’s anger. “Damn it! I’ve suffered so much humiliation and abuse here, but this stupid guy even suspected that I had feelings for Nangong Du!” he thought resentfully. “Yan Lingxiao, you quack! You’re still doubting that I’m a woman, aren’t you? By the way, I haven’t got even with you for peeping at me when I was having a bath the other day!”

“Xiuxiu, don’t be mad at me. I didn’t mean to suspect you. I trust you, Xiuxiu…”

“Shut up! If you dare to call me Xiuxiu again, I, I…” Without knowing what to say, Zixiu shook off Lingxiao’s hand in a huff. Out of his mind with rage, he blurted out, “You’re right! I married Nangong Du of my own free will! I like him and I can’t bear to see him die!!”

With that, he rushed to the bed and wrapped the patient in his arms deliberately. When he looked down, he found in surprise that Nangong Du was staring at him with a complicated look in his slightly puffy enchanting eyes.

Meanwhile, he heard Lingxiao’s depressed voice ringing from behind, “I only hit the acupoint that would make him numb!”

Hearing that, Zixiu felt his head buzzing and before he blacked out, he roared inwardly, “Yan Lingxiao, how dare you lie to me again!”
