Xie Xuanji was startled for a moment. Because of this distraction, Mu Mingtang ran over. When Xie Xuanji reacted, he immediately chased after Mu Mingtang and grabbed her. "Do you want to die?"
Mu Mingtang ran to the door of the bedroom, but she was suddenly pulled back by Xie Xuanji. She couldn't help but stagger two steps back. She was so tired that she turned around and tried to break away from Xie Xuanji's hand. "Wangye seems to be awake. Let go of me!"
Xie Xuanji's face was cold, and he didn't let go. The voice just now was too sudden. Xie Xuanji suspected that it was his illusion. However, Mu Mingtang also heard it. It didn't make sense to say that it was an illusion.
However, 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. However, if he had some consciousness and attacked systematically, it would be even worse.
Xie Xuanji was already upset. Mu Mingtang kept struggling. Xie Xuanji was annoyed. He 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. He 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 person with no manners and no upbringing. Moreover, I've already married into the Jiang family according to the Jiang family's wishes. I've already repaid the Jiang family's kindness of adoption. I have no relationship 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.
On the bed, Hsieh Hyun-chen was half propped up. His face was frighteningly pale, and he looked extremely weak. At this moment, he did not 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 clanking sound.
The wound on his wrist, which was about to heal, became bloody again. Mu Mingtang was frightened. She used all her strength to pick up half of the iron chain, but Hsieh Hyun-chen could lift it up with one hand and even stretch it until it made a clanking sound.
The sound of the iron chain shaking was extremely obvious in the room. Mu Mingtang was frightened and did not 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. He looked like an arrow at the end of its flight. This familiar sound was undoubtedly a nightmare for many people. The guard 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 looking like a gigolo in the world.
Facing such a pair of eyes, no one could say that he was feminine, gigolo, or anything like that. Hundreds of soldiers gathered outside the hall. Xie Xuanji and Mu Mingtang were standing inside the hall. But at this moment, no one dared to make a sound.
However, this sentence seemed to have exhausted 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 hurriedly lifted his skirt and went forward. "Your Highness, Your Highness?"
Mu Mingtang knelt at the foot of the bed. He saw that the blood he spat out was bright red. It instantly dyed half of the bed red. Mu Mingtang's heart clenched. He immediately found a handkerchief and wanted to wipe the blood away.
Hsieh Hyun-chen fainted again. Xie Xuanji undoubtedly let out a long sigh of relief. Xie Xuanji looked sideways. He saw that Mu Mingtang actually ran toward Hsieh Hyun-chen without hesitation, as if he didn't know that his hands were stained with blood and countless lives. 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. However, 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'll kill you?"
"He won't." Mu Mingtang turned around and carefully wiped the blood from Hsieh Hyun-chen's collar. "He's the Marquis of Wu 'an. He won't kill the innocent. Besides, he was the one who saved my life. Even if he didn't recognize me and killed me, I should be the one paying 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 words, could it be that they already knew each other?
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 breathed a 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. I'll call the imperial physician. "
"Yes."
After Xie Xuanji left, the guards temporarily lifted the alarm. However, they didn't dare to relax at all. They all guarded outside the hall. Mu Mingtang heard the increase in the frequency of patrolling through the window.
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. It was grabbed by a hand.
Mu Mingtang's legs went soft and she immediately knelt on the ground. She was scared. Before she could scream, she was coldly stopped by a voice. "Shut up. If you dare to scream, I'll 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. His thin lips were slightly red because of the blood stains. He looked sad and fierce. He didn't look unconscious at all.
He looked out of the window and then looked at Mu Mingtang. Mu Mingtang understood and immediately nodded. "Prince, don't worry. I won't tell them."
Hsieh Hyun-chen looked at her for a long time. He seemed to be assessing her credibility. Then, he slowly let go of her hand. As soon as Mu Mingtang could move freely, she immediately withdrew her wrist. She held her wrist and rubbed it in pain.
This strength was greater than that of a strong blacksmith. If Mu Mingtang didn't see it with her own eyes, who would believe that it came from a patient who had been in a coma for a long time and was so weak that he only had one breath left?
When Hsieh Hyun-chen saw Mu Mingtang rubbing her wrist, he remembered that his strength was not the same as that of ordinary people. If a grown man couldn't even take a punch from him, then there was no need to mention a weak woman.
Fortunately, Hsieh Hyun-chen had been in a coma for a long time. His strength was greatly weakened. Otherwise, Mu Mingtang's arm would have been crippled today.
Hsieh Hyun-chen supported his body and tried to sit up. Mu Mingtang noticed his movements. She wanted to go forward and support him, but she was scared back by Hsieh Hyun-chen's glare. Hsieh Hyun-chen wanted to sit up, but his limbs were shackled by heavy chains. He had been in a coma for a long time and was weak. He tried several times, but he didn't succeed.
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 stand it anymore and quietly said, "Prince, let me help you. There are so many people patrolling outside. If you continue to struggle and make noise, it will attract them. It 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.
When Mu Mingtang saw that Hsieh Hyun-chen didn't refute, she assumed that he had agreed. She immediately helped him lean against the bedpost and carefully placed a pillow behind his waist. After Mu Mingtang did all 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 forcefully married him. Mu Mingtang thought about it from another perspective. If someone took over her house while she was sleeping, took over her money, and even 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. 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 princess had become Mu Mingtang, the daughter of a merchant who had fled here.
Mu Mingtang felt that he was shamelessly taking advantage of someone else's 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 princess. Your Highness, don't worry. This is only a temporary measure. I know my own status and have no delusions of becoming your princess. I just want to repay your kindness. When Your Highness's body recovers, I will voluntarily step down and vacate the position of princess. At that time, you can choose to marry another woman from a prestigious family. "
Hsieh Hyun-chen impatiently rolled his eyes. But his hand was pressed down by the black iron and he could not move. He could only endure and say, "I'm asking for your name."
"Ah?" Mu Mingtang looked up in surprise. She saw Hsieh Hyun-chen's impatient gaze and 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 frightening it was. Mu Mingtang did not dare to think about it and quickly stopped. She knelt at the foot of the bed. Hsieh Hyun-chen was half leaning on the bed frame. At this moment, they did not speak. 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 did not say anything. He could not help but frown, "You what?"
Mu Mingtang was embarrassed. But she was not someone who cared about her face. She took this opportunity to directly ask, "Your Highness, then what do you think about our marriage?"
"When I wake up, I already have a wife. Isn't this good? It saves me the trouble." Hsieh Hyun-chen smiled as he said this. There was a mole under his eye. If this mole was on a woman's face, it would make many people jealous. But it was on Hsieh Hyun-chen's face. It did not appear charming, only sinister.
He was originally cold and sinister. Just now, he had spat out blood. His mouth was stained with blood. It was 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 femme fatale.
"After all, Xie Xuanji took my place at the wedding. If I wasn't still alive, I'm afraid that even my brother would take my place in the bridal chamber."
He really heard it. Mu Mingtang sighed. She 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 did not intend to return the goods?
Mu Mingtang glanced 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 a cup of water to Hsieh Hyun-chen. 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?"
"No, no, I mean it's quite good." Mu Mingtang's heart was blooming with joy. Sure enough, his benefactor was different from those dregs of the Jiang family. As soon as he woke up and found out that he had a wife, he did not bully anyone at all. Instead, he naturally agreed. From now on, she was the rightful 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 did not expect that this sentence would stir up a hornet's nest. He smiled and gloomily said, "I was awakened by your anger."
… …
"Where is that hairpin? Show it to me."
Mu Mingtang did not dare to speak and slipped out to look for the hairpin. Hsieh Hyun-chen had suddenly woken 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 snapped it in the middle.
"It's really green. If I didn't wake up, I'm afraid my hair would be the same color as it. "
Perhaps because he had just woken up in the afternoon, Hsieh Hyun-chen was still sleeping. Mu Mingtang knelt by the bed and gently called him. "Your Highness, it's time for dinner."
She called several times, but Hsieh Hyun-chen did not respond. Mu Mingtang thought that he wanted to sleep for a while, so she put down the food box and went to the Eastern Hall to light the lamps.
Because Hsieh Hyun-chen had woken up, Mu Mingtang did not dare to open the door or the windows. Now, the sky was still bright outside, but the room was already somewhat dark. Mu Mingtang lit the lamps from the easternmost side and lit up the Jade Qilin Hall one by one.
