Chapter 134 The Climax of Something Worse Than Death
The palace held a grand celebration banquet, and all the civil and military ministers from the dynasty were present. They all gathered around the emperor and first sang his praises, and then they praised Yu Jinchen. He said that his literary skills, military skills were invincible, and he was praised to no one else in the world.
Yu Jinchen kept yawning, obviously not interested in such an occasion. If his father hadn't issued an imperial edict to him, and he didn't want to offend his face at such a happy moment, he wouldn't have come.
He was thinking about Lin Leer in the Villa and wished he could be by her side now. Unfortunately, he could only deal with the things in front of him.
The emperor also praised Yu Jinchen. He looked very happy, thinking that he had been the puppet emperor in Xiaoyun Dynasty for so many years, and today, he could finally feel proud.
Opposite him, Yu Jinlan was still personable, modest and polite, and he was always smiling. It was obvious that Yu Jinchen, who was opposite him, was very impatient, so he smacked at him and motioned for him to go outside.
Yu Jinchen nodded and found an excuse to leave the hall.
"Haha, Xiaojin," after Yu Jinlan left there, she immediately stepped forward and hooked his shoulder with a smile, "That's great, I know that as long as you are here, neither living hell nor dead hell will work!"
Yu Jinchen took his hand and said, "Brother, this is the palace, and you are the prince. How unbecoming it is to let others see you like this."
"Oh, who would see it?" Yu Jinlan held the wine bottle in his hand and winked at him, "It's time for us brothers to have a drink. There were so many people around you just now, and I didn't have the chance to toast you.
.”
Yu Jinchen curled her lips and smiled, took the wine in his hand, and drank from the spout.
"Xiao Jin, I really don't know how to express my gratitude to you," Yu Jinlan seemed really touched and lowered her head.
Yu Jinchen looked at him, shook his head and laughed, "Brother Emperor, do you want to cry again?"
"Xiao Jin, it was you who took back the imperial power from the Hunter King, rescued my father and me, and it was you who personally led the troops and defeated Ming Cangxiang's 400,000-strong army. The Xiaoyun Kingdom is today entirely due to you.
And what about me, the prince? But I haven’t done anything.”
"Brother Imperial," Yu Jinchen raised his eyebrows indifferently, "Why do you have to speak so unfamiliarly? Don't forget, I am also a member of the Yu family."
Yu Jinlan raised her head and smiled, "How could I forget? It's because I remember it every day, so I always remind myself that in fact, you are more suitable to sit on this throne than me."
Yu Jinchen raised his evil eyes and said, "Brother Emperor, there are some things you shouldn't say nonsense. You are the prince and the future emperor."
"Haha, yes, I am the prince. But some people don't think so." His smile became more and more distorted, revealing a coldness that Yu Jinchen had never seen before. "They would think that you are more suitable than me. No matter where you are.
The prestige among the people is still the status in the eyes of the ministers. You, the second prince, will always be higher than me, the prince."
Yu Jinchen's face instantly turned a little gray, and his body swayed unsteadily. He reacted quickly and immediately tapped a few of his acupuncture points to protect his heart, raised his head, and looked at him in disbelief, "Are you drinking?
Is it poisoned?"
Yu Jinlan smiled and said, "It's the same as what you did in Songlin City. Haha, Xiaojin, brother Huang learns first and sells first. This is a 'green plum', which has no antidote. You don't know, in order to find it, brother Huang,
It took so much effort.”
"You want to kill me for the sake of the throne?" Yu Jinchen sneered, "Power can indeed change a person and everything."
"Hey," Yu Jinlan sighed, "Xiaojin, don't be angry with me. It's too uncomfortable to sit on this throne with you here. I did this because I had no choice."
The eyes looking at him were colder than ever before. Yu Jinchen turned around and left without saying a word.
"Xiaojin, you will also help the emperor this time, right?"
Yu Jinlan's shout sounded behind him.
Lin Leer was lying on the table, raising her head and looking at the door from time to time, "It's been so long, why hasn't he come back yet?"
"Miss, have some fish fillet porridge, you haven't eaten much at night." Aunt Liu personally brought the porridge to Lin Leer's room, "Come on, come and try it, this is freshly slaughtered live fish.
"
"Thank you Aunt Liu." Lin Leer took it, picked up the spoon and scooped it a few times. Before it was brought to her mouth, she smelled the faint fishy smell in the bowl, and her stomach was churning. She said "pop"
He threw down the spoon, ran out the door and retched.
"vomit……"
Aunt Liu quickly followed her out and stroked her back, "Hey, miss, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Don't scare Aunt Liu, tell Aunt Liu quickly."
Lin Leer just waved her hands, and in a moment she vomited out all the food she had eaten at night, until her face turned sallow and her lips pale.
After being helped back to the house by Aunt Liu, she sat down, drank some water, and then said with a bitter face, "Huh... that fish... is too fishy."
"Fishy?"
Aunt Liu took the bowl of porridge and smelled it carefully, "No, this is fresh -"
Suddenly, as if she thought of something, her eyes widened. She quickly put down the porridge, came over and asked, "Miss, how long has it been since your period?"
"Menstruation... ah! It seems to be two months ago. There have been a lot of things lately. I also..."
At this time, even Lin Leer was stunned. Her eyes were also widened, "Liu, Aunt Liu, are you doubting me...I..."
Aunt Liu laughed excitedly, "Haha... I'm not doubting it. Now I'm sure. Miss, you are happy! When I gave birth to Xiaohu, my reaction was exactly the same as Miss's. I couldn't smell the smell of seafood."
"Really? I really have it?" Lin Leer still looked confused.
"It's really true! Miss is pregnant!"
"Ah!" Lin Le'er suddenly shouted, hugging Aunt Liu and spinning around, "Haha, I have a baby, I have a baby!"
"Oh my lady, you can't stop being so careless," Aunt Liu was so frightened that she quickly helped her sit up on the bed, "When you're pregnant, you have to take care of your body at all times."
"Yeah, yeah," Lin Leer nodded like a good baby, grinning to her ears.
"Haha, the second prince will definitely be very happy when he hears the news when he comes back."
"Hehe," Lin Leer lowered her head in embarrassment, "I really hope I can tell him first."
"Miss, just wait here. I'll go down and cook you something light. By the way, tell them the good news."
"Thank you Aunt Liu."
Lin Leer still feels like she is dreaming. Unexpectedly, a little life has arrived so quietly. A baby that belongs to her and Chen.
Her hand unconsciously touched her belly. Although she couldn't feel anything yet, the joy of becoming a mother for the first time seemed to make her grow up instantly. She really wanted to see Chen right away and tell him face to face.
"The second prince is back!"
Lin Leer stood up in a hurry, opened the door and rushed out, "Chen!"
Yu Jinchen's face was very pale. When he saw Lin Le'er, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and just caught her body that rushed towards her and hugged her tightly without saying a word.
Everyone in the garden smiled heartily, knowing that it would be best to leave their time to these two people, and they all retreated in a tacit understanding. Only Ah Ke and Basang stared at the owner who looked wrong with some confusion.
"Chen! I miss you so much!" Lin Leer hugged his neck, no longer caring about being reserved, and kept telling her how much she missed him.
Yu Jinchen pulled her to sit down and listened with a smile. His handsome and enchanting face revealed a hint of nostalgia that was not easy to detect.
Lin Leer finally noticed something strange about him, "Hey, Chen, why don't you say anything?"
Yu Jinchen opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Ah!" Lin Leer was shocked. She quickly supported his shaky body, "Chen, what's wrong with you?!"
He wiped the corners of his mouth, smiled, reached out and touched her knitted eyebrows, "I'm fine, don't worry."
Lin Leer was so anxious that she shouted outside, "Ake, Basang!"
"Yes," the two people rushed in. When they saw the scene in front of them, they hurriedly took the master and helped him sit on the bed. Basang glanced at the dark pool of blood on the ground and was surprised, "The master has been poisoned?"
Ah Ke no longer hesitated, turned around and ran to get the medicine.
"Poison? How could you be poisoned?" Lin Leer was running around in a hurry, "Basang, go and call the doctor!"
"No need," Yu Jinchen calmly raised his head, smiled reassuringly at her, and said lightly, "It's 'green plum'. There is no antidote for this poison. The more powerful a person is in martial arts, the more severe the poisoning will be. Dare you, the emperor?"
If you do this, you won't leave any chance for me." No one knew the current situation better than him. He used his last breath of energy to protect his heart, just to hold on and come back to see her.
Basang's eyes widened suddenly. "Green Plum" is a weirder poison than "Poison Princess". As long as Poison Princess finds the seven poisons that are mixed with the poison, there is still a cure. Green plum will die even if it touches the skin.
Risky detoxification will only increase the spread of toxicity.
Moreover, this poison has no cure.
Hearing his words, Lin Leer felt her head buzzing, her heartbeat suddenly stopped, and her vision turned white. It took her a long time to find her voice, "Yu Jinlan... he wants to harm you?"
Yu Jinchen suppressed the sweetness that kept rising in his throat, held her hand, and locked her fearful eyes, "Le'er, from now on, you have to write down every word I say."
Lin Leer looked at him blankly. She couldn't hear what he said, she just kept repeating, "You won't die... You won't die... It's okay, it's okay..."
"Le'er," Yu Jinchen grasped her arms tightly, as if he was using up his last strength, "Stay alive, do you hear me? I want you to live."
"Master!" Ah Ke rushed in holding the medicine, "Medicine, the medicine is here -"
"Medicine! Medicine!" Lin Le'er seemed to see hope, grabbed the medicine, and poured it out with trembling hands, "Chen, don't you have a lot of strange medicines? This one will definitely work! Come, take the medicine, take the medicine quickly...
"
Yu Jinchen held her hand and shook his head gently, "It's useless."
Lin Leer fell to the ground, her eyes wide open, and her chest heaved violently. She hugged her head violently and shook it desperately. This was a dream, this must be a dream, Yu Jinchen was still fighting, and he was still
did not return!
Ah Ke was anxious, "Basang, why are you still standing here? Ask the people in the Zodiac to find the antidote!"
Basang lowered his head and said, "It's Qingmei."
A Ke was stunned.
Yu Jinchen held her hands lovingly, "Le'er, I don't have much time left to hold on, please let me take a good look at you, okay?"
"No!" Lin Leer suddenly screamed and hugged him fiercely, "I won't die! You won't die! I won't let you die! You said you would marry me when you come back, you can't break your promise!
"
Basang grabbed Ake's arm and silently pulled her back to the door.
Yu Jinchen hugged her, her beautiful face was still stunningly beautiful, "I'm sorry, I can't do it."
"I don't want you to say sorry, I just want you to marry me! You can't do this to me... Without you, I don't know what to do..." Lin Leer cried until her voice became hoarse, and the hand that grabbed his clothes dug into her.
in the palm of her hand, but she didn't even notice it.
Yu Jinchen held her cheek, "You know, and you will still live a strong and happy life."
"No... no..." Lin Leer shook her head, crying until she choked, "You can't do this to me..."
He stretched out his index finger and pressed it on her lips, "Le'er, listen, I want you to officially become the master of the Zodiac."
"I don't want to be a master, I only want you, I only want you!" Lin Leer grabbed his hand and put it on his cheek, "Chen, please, don't be so cruel to me, okay? Don't leave me alone,
No matter where you go, I will go with you..."
Yu Jinchen's face was almost pale, and his eyes were a little blurry. It seemed that he could no longer hear what she was saying, but he still pulled himself together and looked at the woman he loved with his whole life, "Le'er, I must
You want me to see your happy life, okay?"
Seeing his appearance, Lin Leer panicked. She knelt down in front of him in fear, held his hand tightly, and her voice trembled fiercely, "Chen... don't die, I beg you not to die... don't leave me...
…”
Suddenly, his expression froze and his brows knitted together. Then, he slowly relaxed and smiled softly. He wiped away the tears on her face and looked at her tenderly, "Le'er, really.
Thank you for staying with me."
He remembered everything. He remembered everything she did during the period when he was possessed by the devil.
Unfortunately, it was at the last moment of his life.
"Bad guy! You are a bad guy! Why did you let me fall in love with you and then leave me when I couldn't help myself? Yu Jinchen, I hate you, I hate you!" Lin Leer yelled at him like crazy.
Shouted, and finally, lying weakly on his lap, crying loudly, "I don't want you to die..."
He stroked her long hair distressedly, "Le'er..."
"Oh... Chen... I beg you... don't leave me..."
His strength gradually gave out, and he fell on the bed amidst her exclamations. He could no longer hear any sound in his ears, only saw her silent crying, and his eyes slowly closed, as if he was using his eyes.
With the last bit of strength, he said to her, "Do you know what is more terrifying than death? It is knowing that you are about to live alone in this world, and I...can't do anything..."
"dust!!!"
In a certain corner of this world, there is always a corner where he will sleep forever. For him, where she is, that is his final destination.
Ah Ke and Basang rushed in quickly. When they saw the scene in front of them, neither of them took a step forward.
Lin Leer no longer cried, she just held him blankly, letting her tears flow freely.
"Chen... let me tell you good news... you are going to be a father, and we will have a very cute baby... It's a pity that you haven't given him a name yet..."
"Miss!!"
Ah Ke and Basang helped Lin Leer, who had fainted, with misty eyes.
Suddenly, both of them felt pain in their necks at the same time, and the next second they all lost consciousness and fell to the ground...
**********
Darkness, continuous darkness, stretched out terrifying tentacles toward her, tightly wrapped around her body, and dragged her into the bottomless abyss.
She was afraid, she struggled, she called for help, but all to no avail. She could only watch herself falling, falling...
Tears filled her eyes.
Chen, where are you? Why don't you come to save me? It's so cold and scary here. There's no one around. Where are you?
"Miss has been comatose for three days." Xiao Yu'er looked at the person lying on the bed with red eyes. A Ke handed over a hot towel, and Xiao Yu'er wiped her gently, "Sister A Ke
,Have you found the second prince?"
A Ke shook his head.
That night, when she and Basang woke up, the second prince had disappeared. They mobilized everyone in the Twelve Palaces, but there was still no news. The only possibility they thought of was that the master left on his own.
Because he didn't want the young lady to see him die in front of her eyes. For her, that was a pain that she would never forget.
Xiaohong said worriedly, "Miss is pregnant now, her body won't be able to bear it. What should I do?"
Ah Ke looked at her and said, "The young lady doesn't want to wake up, so we have nothing to do."
"Hey," Xiaoqing sighed softly, "the young lady has suffered such a big blow, and she feels very, very sad now."
Aunt Liu walked in with a bowl of porridge, "Miss, aren't you awake yet?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"How can this be done? It's been three days. If you don't eat anything, your body will collapse." Aunt Liu walked over, held Lin Leer's hand, and said softly, "Miss, Aunt Liu knows that you are feeling miserable.
, but, regardless of yourself, you have to take care of the child in your belly, which is the flesh and blood of you and the second prince."
Everyone turned away silently, trying their best to hold back the tears that were welling up in their eyes.
"The second prince must also hope that the young lady can live strong. Young lady, for the sake of the child and the second prince, Aunt Liu please wake up, okay?"
"Aunt Liu, let's go out first," Ah Ke suddenly said, "let the lady have a good rest."
"Hey," Aunt Liu and several maids retreated.
Ah Ke looked at Lin Leer, who was still sleeping, and said softly, "Miss, don't despair, even for the sake of your children, hope is given to you." After saying that, he turned around and went out.
The room instantly became silent.
After a long time, the person on the bed slowly opened her eyes, and her empty eyes lost their former brightness. It seemed that the moment he left, he had taken away everything about her. Even the right to cry was taken away by him.
.
Her hand touched her lower abdomen. Is this the only hope Chen left for her?
She sat up and raised her weak hand to block the sunlight through the window. She slowly got out of bed and sat at the table. Looking at the bowl of steaming porridge, she picked up a spoon and scooped up a bowl of porridge.
Put the spoon into your mouth.
In her pale mind, she was occupied by an increasingly clear idea. From now on, she must live well. For Chen, for him and her hope, she must work hard and live strong.
Outside the door, Xiaohong was lying on the crack of the door and quickly covered her mouth with joy. She turned her head and said excitedly to several people, "Miss is awake, Miss is awake, she started to eat."
Apart from being happy, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the door was pushed open.
Seeing Lin Leer standing at the door, everyone was startled, "Miss..."
"He..." Lin Leer moved her lips, "Where is he?"
Everyone looked at A Ke in tacit understanding.
"Miss," Ah Ke lowered his eyes, "Master has left."
"He's gone?" Lin Le'er raised her head suddenly and asked in a trembling voice, "He's gone...what do you mean?"
Ah Ke told her what happened that night and their guesses, and then said, "Miss, the master doesn't want to see you in despair. At least, the master in the miss's heart is still alive."
Lin Leer lowered her head, unable to see her expression clearly, and her shoulders were shaking uncontrollably.
He was really cruel, and he actually used this trick in the end, making her wait and look forward to this small hope all her life.
The funny thing is, he succeeded.
She took a deep breath, raised her head calmly, and said to Ah Ke, "A Ke, ask everyone in the garden to come to the front hall. I have something to say."
Ah Ke stared at her deeply, then lowered his head and said, "Yes."
It was a small time and the front hall was packed with people.
Lin Leer looked at them and said in a clear voice, "I don't want to say anything more about what happened. Now, I just want to tell you." Her eyes became colder and her hands clenched tightly.
Quan, "Anyone who harms the second prince, I will never let him go! No matter he is the prince or whoever he is, I will not let him have an easy time!"
There was silence in the hall, and everyone looked at her momentarily.
Lin Leer looked around and said, "I will close this villa."
