Chapter 133 - Die with Her

“No!”

Mo Junyang who was always calm changed his expression instantly. Before Shi Qingxue fell on the floor, he walked quickly to hug her, but the body in his arms was soft and unconscious, which terrified him.

“Qingxue. Qingxue!”

Mo Junyang shouted several times, but Shi Qingxue didn’t answer, as if she were dead.

He reached out his trembling hand to Qingxue’s nose. She didn’t…breathe!

“No. No way!” Mo Junyang was petrified. The nightmare in the previous life came again and it was almost the same. He couldn’t help but doubt that she wasn’t reborn.

It was that Cold Palace, and he hugged Shi Qingxue, watching her die, and his heart was gone with her. He was horribly desperate.

Wei Zichao reacted first and reminded in a hoarse voice, “Master, Lady Qingxue is alive. Her pulse is still active.”

Mo Junyang suddenly came to his senses and checked Shi Qingxue’s neck. It still beats weakly.

She was still alive!

His desperation was gone and he heaved a sigh of relief while the different anxiousness filled his brain again.

He didn’t dare to delay and carried Shi Qingxue, striding outside.

Wei Zichao hurriedly stopped him. “Master, how should we deal with the people in the prison?”

Mo Junyang stopped for a second and didn’t even look back. “Lock them up. Before we investigate and find the truth, none of them is allowed to leave.”

Shi Baoning finally came back to reality from the accident when she heard that Mo Junyang would even lock her up. She roared, “Your Excellency, you are just King Rui’s heir. You are not qualified to investigate or lock us up.”

“Qualified? Ha!” Mo Junyang snorted and said in a cold voice, “If there is something wrong with Qingxue, I will make all of you die with her.”

Mo Junyang didn’t care that his words could scare them to death and carried Qingxue to King Rui’s mansion. Shen Luo happened to be in the mansion these days and must be able to save her.

“Mo Junyang, stop!”

Shi Baoning shouted angrily, but Mo Junyang went away and disappeared soon.

She wanted to chase him, but Wei Zichao stood in front of her in advance and said formally, “Infanta Baoning, please stop. My master said you can’t leave the prison.”

“Mo Junyang has no right to lock me up. Step aside.” Shi Baoning certainly wouldn’t be stopped by a guard and pushed his hand away, planning to walk outside.

Wei Zichao didn’t stop her but winked at the people behind.

“Swish!”

More than ten guards showed their weapons at the same time and the sword light lit up in the dark prison. It could almost dazzle and blind their eyes.

Shi Baoning was frightened and moved backward. Shi Baoyou supported her. “Baoning, don’t move. Be careful, or you would be injured.”

Shi Baoning didn’t expect that Wei Zichao dared to hurt her. After being stunned for a while, she got angrier and thought they were rebellious.

“Who are you? How dare you be rude to me, an infanta? Let me go. Otherwise, after I come out, I will take your life.”

Wei Zichao didn’t fear the threat which was outwardly strong but inwardly weak. He even smiled. “My master ordered me to watch you. If I offend you, please forgive me.”

“I am an infanta! You actually make me stay in this shabby prison. Be careful. I will tell His Majesty about Mo Junyang’s behavior and get him in trouble.” Shi Baoning came to the prison to visit Shi Baojin, which was her baseline. Thinking that she would have to stay here for longer, she felt uncomfortable and couldn’t bear it.

But Wei Zichao said, “Infanta, if you think the environment in the prison is not good, I can tell some people to decorate it. Just stay here at ease.”

He said something nice but refused to let them go.

Shi Baoning stomped in anger. She thought Mo Junyang was not so bold, but she was terrified by the broadsword in front of her, at a loss what to do.

Shi Baoyou calmed down first and pulled Shi Baoning’s arm, comforting in a low voice, “Baoning, don’t be anxious. Let’s just wait. If Grandma and Aunt find that we don’t go back home, they would come to look for us.”

Shi Baoning’s eyes lit up and she said confidently, “Right. Mo Junyang dares to disrespect us. I don’t believe he dares to disobey Princess Royal and Duke Shi. Let’s wait and see.”

Then she glared at Wei Zichao with provocation.

Wei Zichao still smiled and said indifferently, “Both of you don’t need to be anxious. After Lady Qingxue recovers, you will be safe.”

In another word, if there was something wrong with Shi Qingxue, Mo Junyang would really bury all of them with her.

“You!” Shi Baoning’s face turned pale out of anger.

“Mr. Wei, I have taken care of Lady Qingxue all the time. Can I look after her now?” Xia Mang suddenly cut in.

She was not fragile or afraid of being locked in the dark and wet prison, but she was worried that others couldn’t take good care of Shi Qingxue.

Wei Zichao glanced at Xia Mang and didn’t refuse her at once as before. But he didn’t agree, either, just saying cautiously, “I need to report to my master and ask for his permission.”

Xia Mang nodded repeatedly and bowed to Wei Zichao. “Anyway, hope you can tell me about Lady Qingxue’s situation in time. I would appreciate it.”

Upon hearing that, Wei Zichao couldn’t help but look at this maid several times and praised her secretly while agreeing. “Of course, no problem.”

Seeing that Wei Zichao was friendlier to a maid than to her, Shi Baoning was furious, her face and neck burning.

But Wei Zichao ignored her. After arranging everything, he glanced at Shi Baojin who curled up to play dead after Shi Qingxue went into a coma and then left.

In King Rui’s mansion, it was heavily guarded. Apparently, something serious was going to happen.

In the Love Xue House, the miracle-working doctor Shen Luo was sitting on the bedside and checking Shi Qingxue’s pulse, with sweat all over his head because he rushed here and he was scared by Mo Junyang’s sullen face.

“What’s wrong? Have you found anything?” Mo Junyang had asked the same questions three times since Shen Luo came in.

Shen Luo wiped the sweat on his forehead and sighed with emotion secretly. He had known Mo Junyang for more than ten years, and it was his first time to see this cold-blooded man at a loss, who even forgot what he had just said. Shi Qingxue had an extraordinarily great influence on him.

But Shen Luo didn’t have the nerve to say that in front of Mo Junyang. He had to repeat, “I am feeling her pulse. Don’t disturb my thoughts. Otherwise, how could I know…”

He stopped abruptly and raised his hand, trying to take off Shi Qingxue’s clothes.

“What are you going to do?” Mo Junyang swiftly stopped Shen Luo’s hand and looked at him, with his fierce eyes.

Shen Luo explained in a hurry, “No. I doubt that she was poisoned. I have to find out where her wound is.”

Mo Junyang didn’t allow him to. Obviously, he didn’t want Shen Luo to touch Shi Qingxue.

Shen Luo got anxious, too, and said crossly, “How would I know what poison is in her body without checking her wound?”

“Quack!” Mo Junyang commented mercilessly and disdained Shen Luo who had to check the injury before knowing the patient’s condition.

Shen Luo was unable to respond to this unreasonable man.

He was in a rage and stopped. “Do you want to save her or not? If I don’t know where her wound is, how can I prescribe a medicine special for the disease? What if she…”

Before he finished his words, he shut up as soon as Mo Junyang glared at him.

Mo Junyang didn’t want anybody to touch Shi Qingxue, and even this thought made him want to kill, but he couldn’t joke about her life, so he gave in.

“Check quickly. Don’t touch her randomly.”

He showed a long face and stared at Shen Luo’s hand. It seemed that Shen Luo owed him a lot of money and he would chop this hand later.

Shen Luo was frightened by his imagination and shrank his neck. He didn’t dare to reach out his hand again and was afraid that Mo Junyang would get back at him later. Then he would be miserable.

“How about…you examine her? Just check if there are wounds on her body.” Shen Luo compromised and figured out a solution. He didn’t want to irritate Mo Junyang.

Mo Junyang certainly nodded. Although he didn’t know about medical skills, he thought he was sensitive. He recalled what had happened in the prison and lifted Shi Qingxue, reaching out his hand to touch her back neck. Then he found a black dot in the center of her fair-skinned back neck. The dot spread and seemed to blacken the skin around.

“How is it possible?” Shen Luo looked serious and moved closer to check it carefully. In an instant, his expression changed.

Mo Junyang focused his eyes on Shen Luo and asked anxiously, “What happened? Do you know what’s wrong with her?”

Shen Luo shook his head subconsciously and put two fingers on Qingxue’s pulse again. He then lifted her eyelids and checked for a while. At last, he seemed to confirm something and sat back in the chair beside the bed in low spirits. He had never looked so dignified before.

“What on earth happened? Tell me now!” Mo Junyang was nervous. If he didn’t hold Shi Qingxue, he would push Shen Luo away.

Shen Luo goggled, too, and howled, “Why did you vent your anger on me? Did I poison her?”

Mo Junyang didn’t feel guilty at all and said directly, “Detoxify her now! Why do you hesitate?”

Shen Luo was speechless. If it weren’t Mo Junyang who spoke, Shen Luo would beat him to death.

He was depressed and frowned. “Do you think I don’t want to? But do you know what poison is in her body? It’s Lethal Seven.”

“Lethal… What?” Mo Junyang had never heard about it.

Shen Luo suggested Mo Junyang put down Shi Qingxue first and sighed before explaining, “This is a rank poison from the western region. Lethal Seven means it can kill the victim. As long the poison enters the skin, it would spread all over the body and make the victim unconscious instantly. If she doesn’t take the antidote within seven days, she would die in the dream without any awareness.”

Mo Junyang was uneasy and then forced himself to calm down, saying, “Since you know what it is, give her the antidote as soon as possible.”

“Uh…” Shen Luo looked at Mo Junyang helplessly and didn’t believe that this smart man would be so blunt and couldn’t understand what he meant.

But Mo Junyang was silent, so Shen Luo had to make it clear. “I only heard about it from my master when I was a child, and I have never seen the poison or the antidote. My master said…”

He paused for a while and didn’t intend to give Mo Junyang a chance to deceive himself. Then he gritted his teeth. “There is no antidote to this poison.”
