When Mu Mingtang heard the noise, he ignored Xie Xuanji and ran past him.
Xie Xuanji was stunned for a moment. Because of this distraction, Mu Mingtang ran past him. When Xie Xuanji reacted, he immediately chased after Mu Mingtang and grabbed him. "Do you want to die?"
Mu Mingtang ran to the door of the bedchamber, but was suddenly pulled back by Xie Xuanji. He couldn't help but stagger back two steps. She was so tired that she turned around and tried to pry Xie Xuanji's hand away. "Wangye seems to be awake. Let go of me!"
Xie Xuanji's face was cold and he didn't let go. The sound just now was too sudden. Xie Xuanji suspected that it was his illusion, but Mu Mingtang also heard it. It didn't make sense to say that it was an illusion.
But why did Hsieh Hyun-chen suddenly wake up? Did he hear their conversation?
Xie Xuanji became more and more vigilant. Whether Hsieh Hyun-chen was conscious or not, it didn't make any difference. As soon as Hsieh Hyun-chen woke up, he would start a massacre. If he didn't recover his consciousness, he would attack indiscriminately. It would be easier to subdue him. If he had some consciousness and attacked in a systematic way, it would be even worse.
Xie Xuanji was already upset. Mu Mingtang kept struggling. Hsieh Hyun-chen was annoyed and said, "As soon as he woke up, he would attack the people around him. Don't you want to live anymore? You even took the initiative to come forward. Hiss — — "
Xie Xuanji felt pain in his hand and subconsciously loosened his fingers. He picked up his hand and looked at it. A pair of slender, white, and pampered hands were now printed with a neat row of teeth marks, which immediately destroyed the beauty of the whole hand.
Xie Xuanji had never seen such a person. He was very angry and said angrily, "I'm doing this for your own good, but you bite me. Is this the rule that the Jiang family taught you? Is this your family's upbringing?"
"I've disappointed Prince Jin. I'm such a rude and uneducated person. Moreover, I have already married into the Jiang Family according to their wishes. I have already repaid the Jiang Family's kindness in adopting me. I no longer have anything to do with the Jiang Family. My surname is Mu, and I don't care for the surname Jiang. " Mu Mingtang glared at Xie Xuanji and said, "My parents have taught me since I was young that I should bite anyone with dirty hands and feet."
Mu Mingtang said this through gritted teeth. She glared at Xie Xuanji again, then turned around and walked away quickly. However, she only took two steps before her footsteps slowly came to a stop.
Hsieh Hyun-chen was propped up on the bed. His face was frighteningly pale, and he looked extremely weak. At this moment, he didn't pay attention to Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanji. Instead, he lowered his head and stretched his wrist to straighten the iron chain, which made a clattering sound.
The wound on his wrist, which was about to heal, became bloody again. Mu Mingtang was frightened. She used all her strength to lift half of the iron chain, but Hsieh Hyun-chen could lift it with one hand and even stretch it until it made a clattering sound.
The sound of the iron chain shaking was extremely obvious in the room. Mu Mingtang was frightened and didn't dare to step forward. Xie Xuanji also stood at the door, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
With the sound of the iron chain, Hsieh Hyun-chen's face became paler and paler. It seemed that he was an arrow at the end of its flight. This familiar sound was undoubtedly a nightmare for many people. The imperial bodyguard outside noticed that something was wrong and knocked on the door: "Your Highness Prince Jin, has Prince Qiyang woken up?"
After the words' Prince Qiyang has woken up 'came out, the soldiers outside the window obviously tensed up. The sound of swords being drawn and the sound of running came one after another. The soldiers formed a military formation and pulled out their snow-white blades toward the hall.
The atmosphere outside the Jade Qilin Hall instantly became tense. The changes outside were clearly heard inside the hall. When Hsieh Hyun-chen heard the sound of the bugle, he seemed to smile and slowly raised his head to look at Xie Xuanji.
"I'm not dead yet, and you're already anxious?"
When Hsieh Hyun-chen was asleep, he was quiet and innocent. Mu Mingtang had criticized him several times for looking like a gigolo. But now that he opened his eyes, Mu Mingtang immediately understood why there was no such thing as Prince Qiyang being a gigolo in the world.
Facing such a pair of eyes, no one could say that he was feminine or gigolo. Hundreds of soldiers gathered outside the hall. Xie Xuanji and Mu Mingtang stood inside the hall. But at this moment, no one dared to make a sound.
However, this sentence seemed to consume all of Hsieh Hyun-chen's Qi and blood. After he finished speaking, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell heavily on the bed. Mu Mingtang was startled. He quickly lifted his skirt and went forward: "Your Highness, Your Highness?"
Mu Mingtang knelt on the steps and saw the blood he spat out. It was bright red and instantly dyed half of the bed red. Mu Mingtang's heart clenched. He immediately looked for a handkerchief and wanted to wipe the blood.
Hsieh Hyun-chen fainted again. Xie Xuanji undoubtedly let out a long sigh of relief. Xie Xuanji looked to the side and saw that Mu Mingtang ran to Hsieh Hyun-chen without hesitation. It was as if he didn't know that his hands were covered in blood and countless lives were lost. Xie Xuanji suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart.
When Hsieh Hyun-chen went crazy, he didn't care about status when he killed people. Xie Xuanji should have left immediately. But when he saw Mu Mingtang kneeling by the bed and carefully wiping the blood from Hsieh Hyun-chen's mouth, he couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you afraid?"
Mu Mingtang turned around and saw that Xie Xuanji hadn't left. He was shocked: "What am I afraid of?"
"Aren't you afraid that he will kill you?"
"He won't." Mu Mingtang turned around and carefully wiped the blood from Hsieh Hyun-chen's collar. "He is the Marquis of Wu 'an. He won't kill innocent people indiscriminately. Besides, my life was saved by him. Even if he didn't recognize me and killed me, I should pay him back. "
Xie Xuanji frowned even more. The title of Marquis of Wu 'an was very old. How did Mu Mingtang know about it? Listening to her voice, could it be that they knew each other before?
Xie Xuanji looked at him coldly for a while and then turned to leave. When the guards outside the hall saw him come out, they all let out a long sigh of relief: "Prince Jin, how is Prince Qiyang?"
"Second brother just woke up for a while, but now he fainted again. You guys take good care of him. This prince will go and call the imperial physician. "
"Yes."
After Xie Xuanji left, the guards temporarily lifted the alarm, but they didn't dare to relax. They all guarded outside the hall. Through the window, Mu Mingtang heard that the frequency of their patrols increased significantly.
The handkerchief was dyed red in the blink of an eye. Mu Mingtang sighed softly and planned to get up to find another clean handkerchief and get some water while she was at it. Just as she was about to move, her wrist suddenly felt cold and was grabbed by a hand.
Mu Mingtang's legs went soft and she knelt on the ground. She was frightened. Before she could scream, she was coldly stopped by a voice: "Shut up. If you dare to scream, I will kill you."
Mu Mingtang forced herself not to scream. Her heart almost stopped from fright. Hsieh Hyun-chen was looking at her at the moment. His eyes were sharp and his thin lips were slightly red because of the blood. He looked sad and fierce. He didn't look like he was unconscious at all.
He looked out of the window and then looked at Mu Mingtang. Mu Mingtang understood and immediately nodded: "Your Highness, don't worry. I won't tell them."
Hsieh Hyun-chen looked at her for a long time, as if he was evaluating how trustworthy she was. Only then did he slowly let go of her. As soon as Mu Mingtang could move freely, she immediately pulled back her wrist and rubbed it in pain.
This strength was stronger than that of a strong blacksmith. If Mu Mingtang didn't see it with her own eyes, who would believe that this strength came from a person who had been unconscious for a long time and was so weak that he was on his last breath?
When Hsieh Hyun-chen saw Mu Mingtang rubbing her wrist, he finally remembered that his strength was different from that of a normal person. If a grown man couldn't take a punch from him, then there was no need to talk about a weak woman.
Fortunately, Hsieh Hyun-chen had been unconscious for a long time and his strength was greatly weakened. Otherwise, Mu Mingtang's arm would have been crippled today.
Hsieh Hyun-chen propped himself up and tried to sit up. Mu Mingtang noticed his movements and wanted to go forward to support him, but she was scared back by Hsieh Hyun-chen's glare. Hsieh Hyun-chen wanted to sit up straight, but his four limbs were shackled by heavy chains. In addition, he had been unconscious for a long time and was very weak. He tried several times, but to no avail.
Mu Mingtang wondered why this ancestor was so irritable and weak. Seeing Hsieh Hyun-chen's movements, Mu Mingtang's heart was also in a mess. She couldn't bear it any longer and quietly said: "Your Highness, let me help you. There are so many people patrolling outside. If you continue to struggle and make noise, it will attract them. That will be bad. "
Hsieh Hyun-chen couldn't accept that he was so weak that he needed a woman to help him, but he also knew that Mu Mingtang's words weren't wrong. It was because of this that he felt even more uncomfortable.
Mu Mingtang saw that Hsieh Hyun-chen didn't refute, so she assumed that he had agreed. She immediately helped him lean against the bedpost and carefully placed a pillow behind his back. After Mu Mingtang did all of this, she found that this ancestor's complexion wasn't very good. But ever since he woke up, his complexion had been very bad. Mu Mingtang was very open-minded and didn't try to find the reason for it.
After Hsieh Hyun-chen sat up, he finally had the energy to speak. He looked at Mu Mingtang from head to toe and slightly raised his eyebrows: "Who are you?"
Mu Mingtang finally remembered that they had arranged a marriage for Hsieh Hyun-chen without him knowing. They had even forced him to marry. Mu Mingtang thought about it from another perspective. If someone took over her house while she was sleeping, took over her money, and claimed to be her husband, Mu Mingtang would definitely beat that person to death.
Moreover, Hsieh Hyun-chen was the descendant of a proper noble family and was the son of a high official. If everything was normal in the Xie Family, then what kind of virtuous and virtuous woman would be worthy of Hsieh Hyun-chen? But now, the official consort had become Mu Mingtang, the daughter of a merchant who had fled here.
Mu Mingtang felt that he was shamelessly taking advantage of other people's perilous situation.
Mu Mingtang's voice weakened. She lowered her head and said: "I am Jiang Honghao's adopted daughter. A few days ago, the emperor appointed me as your official consort. Your Highness, don't worry. This is only a temporary measure. I know my own status and don't have any delusions of becoming your official consort. I just want to repay your kindness. When your Highness recovers, I will ask to leave the hall and vacate the position of your official consort. At that time, you can choose to marry another woman from a prestigious family. "
Hsieh Hyun-chen impatiently rolled his eyes, but his hands were pressed down by the black iron and he couldn't move. He could only endure and say: "I'm asking for your name."
"Ah?" Mu Mingtang raised her head in surprise. Seeing Hsieh Hyun-chen's impatient gaze, she quickly said: "My name is Mu Mingtang."
"So your surname is Mu." Hsieh Hyun-chen said thoughtfully. Mu Mingtang's intuition told her that something was wrong. Why did he only emphasize her surname? It sounded like he already knew her name.
The more she thought about it, the more terrifying it became. Mu Mingtang didn't dare to think about it and quickly stopped. She knelt on the footstool. Hsieh Hyun-chen was half leaning on the bed frame. At this moment, they didn't say anything. The two of them looked like a couple going through hardships.
Mu Mingtang quietly bit her lip and asked: "Your Highness, then I …"
Hsieh Hyun-chen turned his head. After waiting for a while, Mu Mingtang didn't say anything. He couldn't help but frown: "What about you?"
Mu Mingtang felt awkward, but she wasn't someone who cared about her face. She took this opportunity to directly ask: "Your Highness, then our marriage, what do you think we should do?"
"When I wake up, I already have a wife. Isn't that good? It saves me the trouble." Hsieh Hyun-chen said this with a smile. There was a mole under his eye. If this mole was on a woman's face, many people would be jealous. However, it was on Hsieh Hyun-chen's face. It didn't look charming, only sinister.
He was already cold and sinister. Just now, he had spat out blood. His mouth was stained with blood, making him look both beautiful and murderous. When he smiled like this, his thin lips and the mole under his eye complemented each other. It made him look even more like a poisonous beauty.
"After all, Xie Xuanji took my place at the wedding. If I wasn't still alive, I'm afraid that my younger brother would have taken my place in the bridal chamber."
He really did hear it. Mu Mingtang sighed and chose to remain silent on this topic. The topic of sister-in-law and brother-in-law was already sensitive. Right now, Hsieh Hyun-chen was only targeting Xie Xuanji. If she spoke, he might target her.
But from Hsieh Hyun-chen's words, he didn't plan on returning the goods?
Mu Mingtang looked at Hsieh Hyun-chen again and again. Hsieh Hyun-chen noticed and gently glanced at her: "If you have something to say, say it. Don't play tricks."
Mu Mingtang smiled and politely brought Hsieh Hyun-chen a cup of water. She asked: "Your Highness, then our matter is settled like this?"
"En." Hsieh Hyun-chen frowned and vigilantly glanced at Mu Mingtang: "What do you mean by this?"
"Nothing, nothing. I'm saying that this is quite good." Mu Mingtang's heart bloomed with joy. Sure enough, her benefactor was different from those dregs of the Jiang family. When he woke up and found out that he had a wife, he didn't bully her at all. Instead, he naturally agreed. From now on, she was the legitimate Princess Consort of Qiyang.
Mu Mingtang couldn't contain her joy, and a clear smile appeared on her face. She was in a good mood and unconsciously became more talkative: "Your Highness, why did you wake up today?"
Hsieh Hyun-chen didn't expect that this sentence would stir up a hornet's nest. He smiled and said gloomily: "I was awakened by your anger."
… …
"Where's that hairpin? Show it to me."
Mu Mingtang didn't dare to speak at all and slipped out to look for the hairpin. Hsieh Hyun-chen suddenly woke up. None of them were in the mood to pay attention to the hairpin. Now, the jade hairpin was still intact on the ground. After Mu Mingtang brought it over, Hsieh Hyun-chen turned it over and looked at it. Suddenly, he broke it in the middle.
