Chapter 133 - Die with Her (1/2)
“No!”
Mo Junyang who was always calm changed his expression instantly. Before Shi Qingxue fell on the floor, he walked quickly to hug her, but the body in his arms was soft and unconscious, which terrified him.
“Qingxue. Qingxue!”
Mo Junyang shouted several times, but Shi Qingxue didn’t answer, as if she were dead.
He reached out his trembling hand to Qingxue’s nose. She didn’t…breathe!
“No. No way!” Mo Junyang was petrified. The nightmare in the previous life came again and it was almost the same. He couldn’t help but doubt that she wasn’t reborn.
It was that Cold Palace, and he hugged Shi Qingxue, watching her die, and his heart was gone with her. He was horribly desperate.
Wei Zichao reacted first and reminded in a hoarse voice, “Master, Lady Qingxue is alive. Her pulse is still active.”
Mo Junyang suddenly came to his senses and checked Shi Qingxue’s neck. It still beats weakly.
She was still alive!
His desperation was gone and he heaved a sigh of relief while the different anxiousness filled his brain again.
He didn’t dare to delay and carried Shi Qingxue, striding outside.
Wei Zichao hurriedly stopped him. “Master, how should we deal with the people in the prison?”
Mo Junyang stopped for a second and didn’t even look back. “Lock them up. Before we investigate and find the truth, none of them is allowed to leave.”
Shi Baoning finally came back to reality from the accident when she heard that Mo Junyang would even lock her up. She roared, “Your Excellency, you are just King Rui’s heir. You are not qualified to investigate or lock us up.”
“Qualified? Ha!” Mo Junyang snorted and said in a cold voice, “If there is something wrong with Qingxue, I will make all of you die with her.”
Mo Junyang didn’t care that his words could scare them to death and carried Qingxue to King Rui’s mansion. Shen Luo happened to be in the mansion these days and must be able to save her.
“Mo Junyang, stop!”
Shi Baoning shouted angrily, but Mo Junyang went away and disappeared soon.
She wanted to chase him, but Wei Zichao stood in front of her in advance and said formally, “Infanta Baoning, please stop. My master said you can’t leave the prison.”
“Mo Junyang has no right to lock me up. Step aside.” Shi Baoning certainly wouldn’t be stopped by a guard and pushed his hand away, planning to walk outside.
Wei Zichao didn’t stop her but winked at the people behind.
“Swish!”
More than ten guards showed their weapons at the same time and the sword light lit up in the dark prison. It could almost dazzle and blind their eyes.
Shi Baoning was frightened and moved backward. Shi Baoyou supported her. “Baoning, don’t move. Be careful, or you would be injured.”
Shi Baoning didn’t expect that Wei Zichao dared to hurt her. After being stunned for a while, she got angrier and thought they were rebellious.
“Who are you? How dare you be rude to me, an infanta? Let me go. Otherwise, after I come out, I will take your life.”
Wei Zichao didn’t fear the threat which was outwardly strong but inwardly weak. He even smiled. “My master ordered me to watch you. If I offend you, please forgive me.”
“I am an infanta! You actually make me stay in this shabby prison. Be careful. I will tell His Majesty about Mo Junyang’s behavior and get him in trouble.” Shi Baoning came to the prison to visit Shi Baojin, which was her baseline. Thinking that she would have to stay here for longer, she felt uncomfortable and couldn’t bear it.
But Wei Zichao said, “Infanta, if you think the environment in the prison is not good, I can tell some people to decorate it. Just stay here at ease.”
He said something nice but refused to let them go.
Shi Baoning stomped in anger. She thought Mo Junyang was not so bold, but she was terrified by the broadsword in front of her, at a loss what to do.
Shi Baoyou calmed down first and pulled Shi Baoning’s arm, comforting in a low voice, “Baoning, don’t be anxious. Let’s just wait. If Grandma and Aunt find that we don’t go back home, they would come to look for us.”
Shi Baoning’s eyes lit up and she said confidently, “Right. Mo Junyang dares to disrespect us. I don’t believe he dares to disobey Princess Royal and Duke Shi. Let’s wait and see.”
Then she glared at Wei Zichao with provocation.
Wei Zichao still smiled and said indifferently, “Both of you don’t need to be anxious. After Lady Qingxue recovers, you will be safe.”
In another word, if there was something wrong with Shi Qingxue, Mo Junyang would really bury all of them with her.
“You!” Shi Baoning’s face turned pale out of anger.
“Mr. Wei, I have taken care of Lady Qingxue all the time. Can I look after her now?” Xia Mang suddenly cut in.
She was not fragile or afraid of being locked in the dark and wet prison, but she was worried that others couldn’t take good care of Shi Qingxue.
