Chapter 1073: Waiting to be buried with Han Yunxi (1/2)

The poison guards stopped Ning Cheng as soon as he killed his way out, giving him a toxin that left him completely weak as he fell to his knees. Soon after that, he lost consciousness and fainted away.

“Treat the poison, keep him alive!” Jun Yixie howled at them. His eyes had turned completely bloodshot like a beast on the verge of going mad! He’d given Ning Cheng so many chances and was sincerely genuine in his offers for an alliance.

Why?!

Why does Ning Cheng keep fooling me? What’s so great about that pair of used shoes, Han Yunxi? Why is Ning Cheng so loyal?![1]

Jun Yixie didn’t get it, but he didn’t want to wonder any further!

“He wants to die together, does he?” Jun Yixie snarled, “Fine, Ning Cheng, this lord will help you! You just wait; I’ll definitely have Han Yunxi accompany you in death! Definitely!”

He was already injured, but all that shouting made it impossible for Jun Yixie to stand. Backing up a few steps, he toppled to the ground still fuming. He glared at Ning Cheng before hollering, “Ning Cheng, this lord will definitely make you regret! I’ll make sure you’re sorry for your choice! Definitely!”

Then he lost all energy to lie down on the ground. His gut injury was severe and fresh blood seeped from the wound despite him putting pressure on it. It soon stained his clothes and formed a pool on the ground.

This was probably the greatest attack against him in his life!

If stupidity caused him to be tricked by Ning Cheng the first time, then his own uselessness was to blame for this time. Thus, Ning Cheng would rather risk destruction of good and bad alike than cooperate with him.

“They’re all liars!” he emphasized, word by word.

Bai Yanqing, Bai Yuqiao, and Ning Cheng are all liars!

Jun Yixie looked at the faraway skies above him[2] and suddenly broke into a cold laugh that was both cruel and absolute. Slowly his eyes slid shut as he slipped into unconsciousness. The guards around him panicked, not knowing what to do.

Hao San quickly ran over to support his master and shouted, “Doctor! Find a doctor here, quick!”

“Someone, ah, hurry and get a doctor here now!”

By the time Jun Yixie regained consciousness, his abdomen wound had already been treated but the slightest movement would bring him pain. Any actions he took felt like ripping the injury apart. Hao San was pouring medicine when he saw his master wake and quickly sent orders to fetch the doctor.[3]

“Master, don’t move! You definitely can’t!” Hao San ran over to press Jun Yixie back down.

“It’s only a minor injury, what’s with the fuss?” Jun Yixie asked unhappily.

Hao San’s face was all agitation. “Master, this is no small wound. The doctor said it’s extremely deep. Any further and the blade would have pierced through the other side, making it impossible to save you!”

Jun Yixie stared at him icily and persisted in getting off the bed, but he’d hardly sat up when blood seeped from his injuries.

“Master! This servant saved you, so just lie down properly! If anything happens to you, wouldn’t that be just what Ning Cheng wants?” Hao San pleaded desperately.

Jun Yixie hadn’t expected his wounds to be so serious. He lied back down and stared at the bloodstains on his stomach blankly. By now the doctor was here and grew agitated at the sight of fresh blood. However, he didn’t dare scold Jun Yixie, but went straight to work stopping the bleeding again and applying a fresh layer of bindings.

Jun Yixie lay there unmoving and unspeaking, seemingly distracted. It wasn’t until the doctor finished treating his wounds that he demanded, “How long until this recovers?”

“This one is useless, but Your Highness Duke of Kang will not be able to leave the bed for at least three days. The dressings will need to be changed every other day for the next ten days, and the bleeding will stop within 15 days. You can move about normally in one month,” the doctor said while shaking with fear.

Jun Yixie waved at him to leave before asking Hao San, “Where’s Ning Cheng?”

“Locked up in his cell. The poison guards have already treated his poison,” Hao San hesitated before asking, “Master, should we deliver his daily antidote today?”

Jun Yixie had initially poisoned Ning Cheng with a toxin that needed daily antidotes to prevent his death. The pills were in Jun Yixie’s hands and no one else’s, not even Hao San. This was why Ning Cheng couldn’t escape and had chosen to try and bring Jun Yixie down with him instead.

“Give it to him!” Jun Yixie took out a pill without hesitation. He was cold to begin with, but now he was downright frosty. “Serve him well. Until Han Yunxi arrives, he cannot die!”
