It had been snowing non-stop and the weather was cold.
Even the rooms with heaters were filled with cold wind.
Not to mention the usually deserted place – Jing Xuan's courtyard. Previously, she had been injured by Na Tuo after he drank some wine. After resting for a while, she gradually recovered. However, her palm had been pricked by a wine bottle and could no longer embroider. She had been recuperating, but she was still the same as before. She would either sit in the room or stand in front of the window in a daze.
She would not eat or drink.
Until today, when she finally fell ill.
When she woke up, she had been lying motionless on the bed. Her hollow, lifeless eyes stared at the curtains above her head.
It was as if she had lost her soul.
No matter how the maidservants called out to her, she did not move.
The maidservants who usually took care of her were worried that something might happen to her, so they hurried to inform Na Tuo.
After hearing Gong Shilin's words, Na Tuo could only make a symbolic trip here.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw several maidservants standing by the bed.
"Step aside."
She stretched out her hand and pushed the maidservants away.
The maidservants knelt down. "Your Highness."
"Get out."
"Yes."
They left one by one.
Na Tuo stood by the bed and looked down at the pale, lifeless Jing Xuan.
He had to admit that this woman was indeed beautiful!
She had the charm and gentleness of a Great Lin woman.
However, no matter how beautiful she was, in Na Tuo's eyes, she was just a useless chess piece.
He could discard her or crush her!
He lifted his robe slightly and sat by the bed.
His eyes that seemed to want to devour someone fell on Jing Xuan's chin. He reached out and pinched it.
He used a lot of strength.
"Are you deliberately causing trouble for me?" His tone was extremely fierce.
Jing Xuan did not answer.
"Don't think that I can't do anything to you just because you don't speak."
"…"
"Listen up, you better not affect anything I do. At this time, even if you die, you have to hold on for me. Don't make trouble for me."
He increased the strength of his grip.
But Jing Xuan did not respond.
She was like a dead body.
If not for the fact that Na Tuo could still feel her breathing, he would have thought that this woman was dead.
Moreover, Jing Xuan was unmoved, which made him even angrier.
He grabbed Jing Xuan's collar and lifted her up, pressing her heavily against the pillar at the edge of the bed.
"Speak!" The voice was very loud.
With a commanding tone.
The sound echoed in the house, making people panic.
Tuo Ji was rarely like this. Even when facing his mortal enemy Yan Shi, he wouldn't lose his mind like this and collapse like this.
Only this woman could make him lose control twice in a row!
Jing Xuan only felt that her neck was being tightened by the clothes, and it was difficult for her to breathe. Her expression became more and more unsightly, but her eyes never met Na Tuo's.
Her disregard completely enraged Na Tuo.
Just as he was about to slap her in the face, his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of a small thing under the pillow.
He immediately stopped his impulse!
He let go of Jing Xuan and picked up the thing under the pillow.
It was a very delicate little bottle!
Jing Rong had given it to her before.
Na Tuo looked carefully and realized that this bottle did not belong to his mansion, and it did not look like it was made by Huyi.
Even among Jing Xuan's dowry, there was no such thing!
At this moment, Jing Xuan's consciousness gradually became clear. Her eyes were fixed on the bottle in Na Tuo's hand.
She immediately reached out to grab the bottle. "Give it back to me."
She almost threw herself at him.
However, Na Tuo suddenly got up and was one step faster than her.
As a result, she missed her target.
Na Tuo pinched open the bottle and brought it to his nose to smell it.
It had a very strong medicinal effect!
Judging from the smell, it should be medicine for treating cuts.
"Who gave this to you?"
"Give it back to me!" She wanted to snatch it back, but her body was too weak.
His eyes were filled with a beseeching look.
Seeing her like this, Na Tuo knew that the thing in his hand was not simple. Anger rose in his heart and he shouted, "Everyone, come in!"
The maidservants, who had retreated one by one, heard his voice and immediately crouched down.
Plop!
They all knelt on the ground.
"Tell me, where did this medicine come from?"
The maidservants cautiously raised their heads to look at the unfamiliar bottle in his hand. They immediately shook their heads.
One of them said, "Your Highness, have we never seen this bottle before?"
"Never seen it before? Then who came here? "
"This servant has always listened to your Highness' orders to look after your Highness. Other than the maidservants in the room and your Highness, no one else has come here."
"If no one has come, where did this thing come from?"
"This servant really doesn't know."
All of them were frightened!
They really hadn't seen it before.
Then, Na Tuo raised the bottle and questioned Jing Xuan, who was half falling off the bed. "Tell me, who gave it to you?"
"It wasn't given to me by anyone, it was mine!"
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Na Tuo bent down and grabbed her chin again, lifting it up, forcing her to look at his reddened eyes, "The assassin who broke into the palace and attacked me, was he the one who gave you this bottle of medicine? Was he? "
He was like an angry cheetah, wishing he could tear the prey in front of him to pieces.
After all, he had been injured by that black-clothed man and was tricked by Na Yan in front of his Royal Father. In the end, that black-clothed man had escaped without a trace.
This anger had always been hidden in his chest.
Now, if this medicine really had something to do with that black-clothed man, he would use Jing Xuan's corpse to lure him out. Then, he would dismember his body and chop it into eight pieces. Even so, it wouldn't be enough to appease the anger in his heart. He would throw the corpse into the wilderness and let the wolves and tigers devour it one by one.
Faced with his questioning, Jing Xuan couldn't reveal Jing Rong's identity.
Even if she had to die, she wouldn't say anything.
She shook her head. "No, it's not."
"Then, who gave you this thing?"
"Is it important?"
"Don't play with me. You know I won't kill you! But that doesn't mean I'll let you be safe and sound. "
A bitter smile flashed across Jing Xuan's pale face.
She said, "If you want to continue torturing me, then go ahead."
'Go ahead!'
She had long been indifferent to life and death. If it wasn't for Jing Rong's sudden appearance, she would have already committed suicide.
She wouldn't have to linger on with her last breath!
Na Tuo increased the strength of his hand.
Her face was almost deformed from his grip.
"Don't test my patience. I'll give you another chance. Didn't you say it? "
Jing Xuan clenched her teeth.
She simply closed her eyes.
'Let him do as he pleases!'
The fire in Na Tuo's eyes became more and more intense.
