Chapter 21: Supreme Commander and the fatuous ruler
In a flash, Lou Zigui had downed half the bowl of ginseng lily soup into his sto Xiaoyao was satisfied She quickly wiped his lips and said, ”Do you feel better after eating so? When you're sick, you have to listen to others” So speaking, Ning Xiaoyao raised the bowl and polished off the other half herself
”Fatuous ruler,” the fearless Lou Zigui gritted his teeth and cursed Ning Xiaoyao again after knowing he'd been played for a fool
An e Xiaoyao aardly lowered her head
Lou Zigui felt a warm sensation rise up from his stomach to his chest Immediately afterwards, he felt his body turn hot and a certain place down there swell until it hurt ”What did you giveXiaoyao's hand
”Ah?” Ning Xiaoyao's lost her grip on the bowl as Lou Zigui grabbed her hand The empty bowl clattered to the floor
In the space of these two sentences, Lou Zigui's entire body felt like it'd been lit on fire Even his eyes were burning red Ning Xiaoyao was completely floored This shouldn't happen! Wait, why did she feel like she was burning up?
Though Lou Zigui had been irls had been born from old, established families and either died fro that, his next three matches were from ordinary families so that the fourth son of the Lou family could at least have a concubine or two But all of those girls had sickened and died before the wedding day as well After the death of the sixth, no fahters for profit illing to marry into the Lou family Because the Lou fa scheood fahters over, and also because the Lou father and brothers all died on the battlefield before their wives passed away in succession, this Supreme Coal love between a man and woman
Lou Zigui only felt that his body was caught in thehi sliced to death with a thousand cuts Feeling hot and dry, Lou Zigui raised his hands to scratch at his own skin
”Don't,” Ning Xiaoyao hurried to press his hands down No matter what happened, he couldn't flay himself alive
Blood streaui's nose
In theXiaoyao hurried to treat Lou Zigui's ”poison” as well But the spread of the poison was too fast, so her legs collapsed beneath her before she fell on top of Lou Zigui Pale green light flickered in her pal Xiaoyao put up a last-ditch effort
It's that scent of grass and trees again, Lou Zigui thought as he held onto Ning Xiaoyao More iui was concerned, he'd held onto the scent that had enchanted hi Xiaoyao beneath his body
It's done for…
These were the last three words to appear in Ning Xiaoyao's ht

The beaded curtains hanging over the dragon bed changed from violent motion to silent stillness in the a Xiaoyao listened to the sounds of Lou Zigui's heavy breathing and foolishly spoke a feords from her medical experience ”Don't let it burden your heart It's easy to get excited the first tier when you have more experience”
Lou Zigui's eyes were fixed on Ning Xiaoyao, his drug-ridden red eyes slowly fading back to black Once the pressure upon hiish expression turned into aXiaoyao boxed herself in the ears Was now the ti he lasted?! In the apocalypse, any person who took a fancy to another could find a place for theether Humans that existed in a world where death was imminent lived hedonist lifestyles and found joys where they could Ning Xiaoyao hadn't found anyone who caught her eye during her 18 years there, but neither had she ehtogether was a big deal In any case, she didn't find the sight of Lou Zigui annoying either, and was ender After finding out she was female, would he just kill her directly?!
Lou Zigui's gaze shi+fted from her face doards before he pulled at her clothes As they ripped, Supreme Commander Lou violently shrank back How could this be?
Ning Xiaoyao scrambled up and prepared to flee Since she couldn't fool around anyui reached out a hand and held her in place
”You, you're a female?!” He didn't dare say it out loud, but asked her in a low voice
Ning Xiaoyao darted a glance at Lou Zigui's naked lower body Lou Zigui followed her gaze to see the spots of blood on the dragon bed, before his face turned ghastly pale He then prorabbed the covers and wrapped her up
Ning Xiaoyao pointed at Lou Zigui's shoulder and said, ”Your shoulder's bleeding again” Though their actions just then were short-lived, it was as violent as a battlefield Even now, she'd yet to close her legs
”Be quiet!” Lou Zigui hissed in a low voice
”Oh” Ning Xiaoyao shut her mouth
Lou Zigui spaced out as he lay down After that bout of self-satisfaction, he currently felt like falling apart Ning Xiaoyao got off the bed while wrapped in bedcovers and went to look for clothes in a chest Her pants were dirty and her shi+rt was torn Even the bindings across her chest had been ripped in half by that guy on the bed Ning Xiaoyao rejoiced that Supreme Commander Lou had only torn her clothes and not her actual person
Lou Zigui slowly turned his head to look at Ning Xiaoyao Right now, it was already dark outside the , and the la Xiaoyao stood in a mass of darkness as she cluui feel pity for her sake After his mental collapse, he'd forced himself to calm down There were some secrets that only need to expose a thread before the discoverer could use it to weave a cocoon and find out the whole story
Ning Yu 1 was a premature baby born at the Grand Preceptor's estate froer Xie after she'd asked for permission to leave the palace and visit her parents' ho that she and her baby should keep their distance, so the late erow up in the Grand Preceptor's estate Before he becale step into the palace Now that he thought back, Concubine Xie had been seven-et out of the palace and see family despite the risk to her body Then she had a preotten her fortune told by a senior monk In the end, all of this was just a play by the Xie father and hter into an imperial son
How could a fen for a while, as soon as Ning Xin grew up, she'd become a useless chess piece Could the Xie father and mother pair allow such a calamity to exist then?
Lou Zigui knitted his brows If he threw Ning Yu out and exposed her now, he could ruin E revenge for the crown prince But he hesitated after seeing that lone silhouettein the blackness

After putting on her clothes, Ning Xiaoyao didn't dare to turn around and look at Lou Zigui, but mumbled, ”I want to leave and find some peace and quiet”
”What?” Lou Zigui didn't hear her clearly
