When Mu Qingwan woke up again, she felt as if she was suffocating. Something seemed to be strangling her tightly around her neck. Her head was dizzy, and her whole body hurt as if it had been torn apart and reassembled.

She vaguely wondered if she was going to die?

Otherwise, why would I be unable to breathe?

She moved her body, but instead of loosening the thing holding her neck, it became tighter. Was she really going to die?

No, she can't die yet. The fate of Xichu is still in her hands. She must persuade Xia Houxie to give up the idea of ​​attacking Xichu. She must ensure the safety of her father, the queen, and her queen. She can't die yet.

With this thought in her head, she began to use both hands to pull the thing around her neck, but no matter how hard she tried, it was of no use. Oh no, she was about to suffocate.

"No...let me go..."

She screamed hoarsely and opened her eyes.

The sudden brightness caused her eyes to squint in discomfort, and she could only see a blurry figure in front of her. After a while, she opened her eyes after getting used to it, and Xia Houlie's cold and angry face suddenly came into view.

At this moment, the thing resting on her neck that made her unable to breathe was his hand!

When she realized this, she gasped.

He wanted to kill her! This was her first reaction.

He wanted to kill her while she was unconscious. Does this man hate her so much?

When Xia Houlie saw her waking up, a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips, "Why don't you pretend to be dead?"

"Who is pretending to be dead? Let go...let me go..." She was choked by him so much that she couldn't say a complete sentence.

The pain in her neck was unbearable, the pain on her forehead was excruciating, and almost every part of her body was in pain. What on earth did this damn man do to her while she was unconscious?

"Mu Qingwan, I tell you, based on your words and deeds, it would not be too much for me to cut you into pieces with a thousand knives!"

Mu Qingwan grabbed his hand to prevent him from using any force, and said with difficulty: "I... what on earth... did I... make you... hate me so much..."

Xia Houlie sneered, "What did you do?" He exerted force suddenly, and Mu Qingwan shed tears in pain, "You don't have to do anything, just your eager heart is enough to kill you a thousand times or ten thousand times.

!”

"Let go... let go..." Mu Qingwan's whole body was numb with pain, and her breathing became increasingly difficult. Just two words had exhausted all her strength.

"Your Majesty, the water is ready..." Eunuch Li, who entered from the outer hall, never expected to encounter such a situation, and was so frightened that he froze in place.

Xia Houlie let go of his hand, and Mu Qingwan's body lost its center of gravity for a moment and fell heavily to the ground, causing Eunuch Li to exclaim: "Your Majesty——"

But looking at the emperor's face, he didn't dare to help her rashly, so he could only worry about it.

Mu Qingwan collapsed on the cold floor like a rag doll. Xia Houlie looked at her with disgust and strode away with his sleeves rolled up.

Such a shameless woman does not deserve his pity!

Xia Houlie walked to the outer hall and stood in the wind for a while. His mind was filled with her painful appearance just now.

He had indeed lost his composure just now. After all, she had a fever. Even if she was still thinking about another man, the debt could be settled with her later, so why rush it?
