Dongling Yuanyong did not expect that Ximen Yourong would feel uncomfortable and even angry because he was forced to separate from Ximen Ruozun.
However, her attitude of directly drawing a clear line with him in exchange for being able to protect Ximen Ruozun made him extremely disappointed, as if she didn't care about his affection at all.
Is he the only one who is being sentimental?
Thinking that she had no affection for him, Dongling Yuanyong's heart almost cooled down.
However, looking at her cold face and her indifferent eyes, he suddenly realized something.
He recalled that when he first met her, her face was always calm and calm, and although she was respectful to him, she was distant.
At that time, she really had no desire for him! But now, she no longer seems to be afraid of offending him in front of him, and her words are straightforward and conflicting... All this can show that she is no longer cautious to guard against him. She
The hurt look on her face also betrayed her. She was not completely merciless towards him, because she was angry with him!
Thinking of this, Dongling Yuanyong looked at her almost firmly and said:
"Ximen Yourong, you are disappointed and sad, right?" Because he did not fully protect her.
Ximen Yourong raised her eyes to meet his, and she said without hesitation:
"From the day I had no choice but to step into the Cold Moon Palace, disappointment and heartbreak have never been far away for me!"
"So, to this day, you still disdain being the queen of others?"
If he saw anything through her, then her nature of being indifferent to fame and fortune was definitely not false.
She didn't think it was her honor to be the queen at all, and he believed it, but today she said it so estrangedly that it hit him to a certain extent.
He expected her answer to be less decisive, but she said:
"If possible, I hope I can take off my "phoenix crown" now and feel relaxed!"
Her determination earned him a sneer, which also inspired him to say without hesitation:
"Ximen Yourong, you are finally tempted! What you want to take off is not the phoenix crown, but the heart that remains in my body!"
His hint of ridicule made Ximen Yourong feel a stab in her heart. It turned out that she had nowhere to hide her thoughts that she was not sure about.
However, no matter if he saw through it, she could still veto it decisively:
"My heart lives in my body and has not gone anywhere!"
Her objection made Dongling Yuanyong chuckle. His seemingly gentle palms held one side of her face, but his thumbs pressed hard against her skin and said angrily:
"Don't you admit it? Your outspokenness proves that you are no longer afraid that others will kill you. Because you have realized that there is a place for you in the hearts of others, so you dare to be so presumptuous."
Ximen Yourong's heart trembled again, and her expression moved slightly, but she turned her head away from his touch, then stopped looking at him and said coldly:
"Your Majesty's place is too precious, I can't afford it!" It's just a place, what's the use of her presence?
Dongling Yuanyong understood that she didn't care about the place he gave her.
Seeing her indifference as she turned her head sideways, he finally got up angrily and left without looking back!
Probably because his anger at leaving was obvious, Xiang Qing hurried in and looked at Ximen Yourong and asked:
"Miss, how come your Majesty left and was so angry?"
"Make the bed, I'll take Ruozun to sleep tonight!"
Ximen Yourong didn't answer the question. She reached out and took Ximen Ruozun into her arms, caressing his fleshy cheeks and feeling sad.
It was her original intention to make him angry. She originally thought that only by letting him leave in anger with no one to help her could she gain some initiative for herself!
However, his words shocked her. It turned out that he was right. She dared to anger him so much because she felt the affection he had for her. She subconsciously understood that he would not kill her just because she made him angry.
Got her!
However, she felt his affection for her, but she didn't want it, because incomplete affection would make her heart incomplete, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear such incompleteness...!
Early the next morning, the screams of a palace maid suddenly came from the supposedly peaceful Lengyue Palace, and then the shrill cries of a baby also rang through the ears.
The screams and cries came from Ximen Yourong's dormitory, which made Xiang Qing, who was walking to the dormitory carrying breakfast, so frightened that he started running.
When Xiang Qingchong ran in and took a look, Ximen Yourong and Ximen Ruozun were almost covered in blood. She saw that the tray in her hand fell to the ground with a clang.
In shock, Xiang Qing was stunned with fear until Ximen Yourong shouted to her:
"Xiang Qing, come here and help me...!"
After hearing Ximen Yourong's order, Xiang Qing quickly ran forward to pick up Ximen Ruozun and hugged her. Only then did she see clearly that there was a deep scratch on one of Ximen Ruozun's arms. He looked like a wild beast.
...beast?
Xiang Qing thought of something immediately, but she didn't ask for confirmation immediately. She first helped Ximen Yourong deal with this shocking mess.
Doctor Ai was hurriedly invited to take over the treatment of Ximen Ruozun's injuries. Ximen Yourong, who was tensed up, relaxed and fell to the side, breathing tremblingly.
At this time, the second palace maid Qiaoer, who was also in shock, urged Xiang Qing and said:
"Xiang Qing, look at your Majesty, your Majesty is also injured...!"
In fact, because Xiang Qing went to prepare breakfast, Qiaoer, who was waiting for Ximen Yourong to wash up, witnessed the entire process of Ximen Ruozun and Ximen Yourong being injured.
It was "Xue'er" who showed her bestiality and suddenly attacked Ximen Ruozun. Ximen Yourong was bitten by "Xue'er" in order to save Ximen Ruozun. This is why Qiao'er screamed and Ximen Ruozun cried miserably!
After Xiang Qing heard Qiao'er's words, she immediately asked Ximen Yourong:
"Miss, let me see where you are injured. Yan Buyan...scare...Miss...!"
Xiang Qing cried out the last two words "Miss". She didn't expect to open Ximen Yourong's sleeves. The injury on Ximen Yourong's arm was much more serious than Ximen Ruozun's, and there was no blood.
Still flowing.
Xiang Qing was so distressed that she cried. She quickly took the cotton cloth handed over by Qiao'er and pressed it on Ximen Yourong's wound while crying angrily:
"Miss, you should have told me if you were injured. How could you let the blood flow like this?"
"I'm fine, don't worry..."
Ximen Yourong comforted Xiang Qing in a weak manner. Ximen Ruozun's shrill cry just now diverted everyone's attention. In addition, she didn't say a word even when she was injured, so no one paid attention to whether she was seriously injured.
Everyone thought the blood on her sleeves was from Ximen Ruozun's wound that had been contaminated on her body.
Even Qiao'er thought her injury was not serious, so when Ximen Ruozun's condition stabilized, Qiao'er remembered that Ximen Yourong was also bitten on the arm by "Xue'er", but she didn't expect that Ximen Yourong turned out to be
The injury was so serious.
After Doctor Ai helped her apply medicine to stop the bleeding, he also took her pulse.
However, after Doctor Ai completed this "by the way", the results of Ximen Yourong's pulse condition made him secretly puzzled.
However, Dr. Ai didn't ask anything in public. He just said a few insignificant words and started to bandage Ximen Yourong's wound.
After Ximen Yourong sent the others out, Doctor Ai spoke bluntly:
"Your Majesty, I wonder if your Majesty knows that she has severe cold syndrome?"
Ximen Yourong remained calm. Doctor Ai asked this question, which proved that Dongling Yuanyong had not mentioned her cold poison to Doctor Ai.
Since Dongling Yuanyong didn't mention it, she said as if she didn't know:
"I've always been afraid of the cold. It's normal for my hands and feet to be cold all year round. Maybe it's related to the cold syndrome mentioned by Dr. Ai."
"Strictly speaking, ordinary cold symptoms cannot be applied to the empress. Her cold syndrome is much more serious, which will affect her..."
Doctor Ai hesitated to speak, then he changed the subject and said:
"Your Majesty's cold syndrome is severe, but it is not impossible to reverse it. I will try to give you a prescription to see if it can be improved."
"Then there is Dr. Laoyai."
Ximen Yourong smiled slightly. She knew very well what Doctor Ai had not finished saying.
Her cold poison not only affects her by making her afraid of the cold, but she may also be unable to conceive a child because of her physical condition.
She had never regretted not being able to have children in the past, and now, she seemed to have nothing to regret!
Moreover, in addition to not being able to give birth to a child on her own, Ruozun's existence has given her the feeling of being a mother. This is the reason why she must do everything possible to protect Ruozun.
After Dr. Ai left, when Ximen Yourong looked at Ximen Ruozun's little face that was asleep because he was tired from crying because of the pain, she was so distressed that she shed tears that she had not shed for a long, long time!
She put her trembling hands on Ximen Ruozun's little body and whispered softly:
"Ruozun, in order to keep you safe, forgive my aunt for being so cruel to you, because my aunt will never let anyone take you away from me!"
Xiang Qing, who was left behind, heard her words and almost concluded:
"Miss, it was you who made Xueer commit animalistic behavior, right?"
"Xue'er is a beast after all. If you are hungry, you will also have the hunting instinct of the beast. It can be seen that it is not suitable for us to keep Xue'er in the Cold Moon Palace anymore."
Ximen Yourong casually said the reason why Xueer hurt others, but Xiang Qing understood the underlying meaning of Ximen Yourong.
Yesterday, the courtiers unanimously demanded that Ximen Yourong and Ximen Ruozun be separated. At the same time, Xueer also became the reason for everyone to attack Ximen Yourong.
Dongling Yuanyong came as usual last night, but left angrily. One night later, Xueer suddenly hurt someone, and she happened to hurt Ximen Ruozun and Ximen Yourong.
Unbeknownst to others, after Xiang Qing calmed down, she guessed that Xueer was not animalistic because of hunger, but because Ximen Yourong did something to induce Xueer to hurt someone.
Ximen Yourong's purpose in doing this was for no other reason. She wanted to risk her life and survive.
Others used Xue'er to fabricate that she had the power of enchantment, but she only let Xue'er hurt people to break the rumor that she had witchcraft to control Xue'er.
If she and Ximen Ruozun were both bitten by Xue'er, how could Xue'er be controllable by her?
As for Ximen Ruozun also having to suffer the consequences, this was Ximen Youler's last resort.
Since she wants to act, she must be ruthless and do her best. Only in this way can she take the initiative and not be manipulated by others!
