Tyrant’s Consort Too Arrogant - C176
“Go ahead.” Dugu Xi was still in a bit of a trance. She let out a faint sigh and said: “Actually, even if you didn’t say it, I still knew what your request was.”
“Does Madam know?” Yi Ren was surprised.
“You used the keepsake Liu Zhufeng gave you and painstakingly ordered people to call me over. Since you’re working so hard to guard him, you naturally want me to save him. Could he be the Helan Xue that you spoke of? ” After Dugu Xi finished speaking, she took a step forward and neared Pei Ruochen.
Although Pei Ruochen had regained a bit of consciousness, he could not open his eyes. He could only vaguely feel a rich and quiet fragrance blowing towards him.
“Why would he have the disease?” Dugu Xi only glanced at him once before retracting her phoenix eyes and asking: “What is his relationship with that traitor Pei Linpu?”
“He’s not Helan Xue. He’s Pei Ruochen, Pei Linpu’s son.” Yi Ren hurriedly explained, “You can save him, right? You also planted this genetic virus, didn’t you? ”
“Yes, so I won’t save him.” Dugu Xi said coldly: “Pei Linpu abandoned me to betray me, why should I save his descendants?”
“But, you said that you would agree to one of my requests, I’ll help you remove the Supreme Diagram.” Yi Ren panicked. She walked over, and without caring about anything else, she grabbed Dugu Xi’s sleeves and said stubbornly: “You are a big shot, you have to keep your word.”
“I’m a big shot?” Dugu Xi let out a cold and dismal laugh, her smile was so bleak and desolate: “Because I’m such a great character, I deserve to be slandered and abandoned for being deceived? I just promised you I would help you with a request, but I didn’t promise you that I must save him. If you don’t save him, you can ask me to do anything for you, including … ” Dugu Xi paused for a moment, and then said word by word. “Including, I’ll send you back.”
“Go back?” Yi Ren was startled, and was still unable to react.
“Do you want to go back to modern times?” Dugu Xi’s face was covered by the shadow of her cloak, and her beautiful lips hooked into a nearly demonic smile.
It was like the temptation of a devil.
Yi Ren swallowed her saliva.
“Perhaps, you will become the only queen of this world, or become the master of Helan Xue, or perhaps, I will give you a fortune and freedom that will allow you to live a peaceful life for the rest of your life, or perhaps, acquire the power that I possess. Yi Ren, as long as you say it, I can satisfy you with anything. Are you sure you don’t want to change your mind? ” Dugu Xi stared at her, her voice slow and carefree, like the sound of music.
Yi Ren was a little dizzy, “Go back …” How do you know where I come from? ”
Wouldn’t it be worse if we sent it back to the Republic, the Warring States?
“You came here because of me. Naturally, I have a way to send you back. ” Dugu Xi said indifferently, as if she was talking about something insignificant.
“Why did you get me here… “This time and space?” Yi Ren was a little muddled now.
“Because I can’t accept it.” Dugu Xi said softly, “I need a test subject and you are the test subject that I have chosen.”
“Test article …” Yi Ren scratched his head and turned to the side, looking at his reflection on the smooth bamboo pole.
How did it become a test subject?
“From the looks of it, you are indeed a little clever, but you do not meet my requirements. So… Do you want to go back? ” Dugu Xi’s bewitching voice came out again.
Yi Ren pursed her lips, lowered her head, then shook it a bit, and said: “I want you to save Ruochen.”
“Don’t you want to go back?”
“Save Ruochen.”
“You don’t want to know what kind of experiment I’m going to use you to do?” Dugu Xi asked with great interest.
“I want to save Ruochen.” Yi Ren looked up, those bright eyes of hers could not be described as stubborn or determined, they were just as clear as ever, “As for the other things, if you are willing to say, if you are willing to do them, then do them. I have no further requests. ”
Dugu Xi was startled, her lips that were cold and charming a moment ago, suddenly smiled, as if there was a spring breeze blowing on the ground.
It was as if Satan had become an angel.
“Alright, I’ll save him. Yi Ren, perhaps in the end, you will not disappoint me … ” She threw out another sentence that she could not understand, and then, as her cape fluttered slightly, Pei Ruochen felt a strong wind blowing towards him. She was wrapped by something, and then, her body was empty as she rose into the air.
“When will you return him?” Looking at Dugu Xi’s retreating figure, Yi Ren shouted.
Dugu Xi did not turn her head back, nor did she reply.
It was just that if she agreed, then it should be okay, right? Yi Ren stood for a while longer, and calmed herself down with great difficulty.
Turning her head back to look at the books and paintings that were scattered on the ground, Yi Ren smiled lightly and said to himself: “Once you’ve recovered, you must be alright.”
Then, it was time to leave Eastmount City.
Go find Xue?
Yi Ren looked up to the sky, unwilling to do so.
But Pei Ruochen was no longer there, and this place had already become very, very lonely. In the end, she would not be able to accompany Pei Ruochen for the rest of her life.
Where to go?
Yi Ren looked at the sky, looked at the bamboo, and looked at the hut. Suddenly, she didn’t want to go anywhere.
Stay here.
“Have you found the people who went missing the last time?” In the residence of the imperial palace, Helan Xue held onto a stack of official newspapers, and asked Yi Jian who was below the stairs.
“No, it was as if she had disappeared into thin air. Pei Ruochen, who had disappeared along with them, also disappeared without a trace. Right now, only the wangfei lives alone on the east side of the mountain.” Yi Jian replied honestly, “It’s already been a month, but there’s still no clues.”
“Pei Ruochen actually disappeared as well, how strange.” Helan Xue’s long and beautiful nails kept pressing onto the table, muttering to himself: “How is Yi Ren now?”
“Every day is a day of eating and sleeping in a daze, just like in the old days at the prince’s mansion.” Yi Jian thought about how Yi Ren was sitting on a small stool in front of the stairs in a daze and couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “Your Highness, when will you bring back the wangfei?”
“When Pei Ruochen handed over the authority, Liu Se retreated back to his territory in the Marquis Xia and never showed his face. Tomorrow, he would finally send someone over to the capital to discuss this with us. When tomorrow comes, I will bring Yi Ren back to the palace. ” Helan Xue said a little helplessly: “I wonder if she has passed out from anger?”
“Princess doesn’t seem to be very angry. She seems to be thinking about something every day.” Yi Jian scratched his head and carefully replied.
“How did she eat? Is there anything wrong with your usual behavior? ” Helan Xue asked again.
Even if he could not accompany Yi Ren, he had to know her every move.
“It’s very simple. The rations that Pei Ruochen left behind and the rice that we secretly added later was enough for her to consume during this period of time. He ate a bowl of rice the day before yesterday and fried it into a bowl. “I only drank a little porridge yesterday and today.” Yi Jian quickly answered: “I noticed that Princess Hua-Yang’s appetite had decreased, so I’ve already informed the imperial physician, who is currently on his way to the Eastern Mountain.”
“That’s good.” Helan Xue frowned, and asked worriedly: “Is Yi Ren sick?”
Yi Jian did not dare to reply, he thought for a moment, then changed the topic.
“Miss Feng Qi is back. Now at the Suiyuan. ”
“Oh, that’s second brother’s problem …” Helan Xue didn’t take it to heart, but rather, thought about Yi Ren: “Does she feel uncomfortable somewhere? “I remember that she was very good at eating …”
Yi Jian was frantically wiping away his sweat, hoping that the imperial doctor rushing towards the east mountains would quickly report the results. Otherwise, the Duke would definitely be unable to sleep at night, and would have to worry about for a few days straight.
At the same time, this news also reached another person.
“I repeat, what is it?” Yan Han waved his hands to stop the others from making their report. His eyes were blazing as he looked at the black-clothed men below the stage.
“The girl is pregnant.” The black clothed man calmly and decisively repeated, “The reason why Miss Yi Ren’s appetite has been down recently is because she is pregnant.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, your subordinate invited a midwife who had been giving birth for more than twenty years to judge. She said that there is a 90% chance of being pregnant, and the girl’s face has recently turned pale, and her blood and vital energy have been lost. She often retches a little, which is very similar to being pregnant.” The man in black answered with certainty.
Yan Han did not make a sound. Ye Zichen frowned, and the more he did, the deeper his frown got.
Mr. Wei, who was standing behind Yan Han, raised his hand. The people who were reporting about other political affairs continued to speak their piece, but after saying a few words, they felt that it wasn’t appropriate and looked at Mr. Wei with their probing gazes.
Mr. Wei was looking at Yan Han worriedly.
Yan Han didn’t really react, he only placed his hands on the table and slowly held them together, forming a ball with his hands.
Knowing that Yi Ren wanted to be a mother, Yan Han was not happy at all.
He even felt as if his heart had been gouged out.
Even if Yi Ren fell in love with Helan Xue, Yan Han would not think that Yi Ren really left. She had once fallen in love with Pei Ruochen, why can’t she do the same again?
He didn’t care how many people she would love.
It was just that maybe, the one who would defend to the very end, would still be him, Yan Han.
However, it was different now. When Yi Ren got pregnant, she would have Helan Xue’s child. If Yi Ren had someone else’s child, then very quickly, such a muddle-headed girl would become a mother. Mother, mother meant to persevere, meant that she was going to raise their children together with Helan Xue.
That was their happiness, and there was nothing for Yan Han to do.
This feeling of being left out of the picture made Yan Han despair. He did not care about logic, whether he was right or wrong, he was merely beaten, step by step, until he fell into despair.
Mr. Wei still had a worried expression.
She watched as the memorial paper under Yan Han’s hand crumbled into pieces.
He was about to cross that boundary, the boundary of wholeheartedly protecting and watching from a distance where he would occasionally lend a helping hand.
“Send a whole squad of personal guards.” Yan Han finally stood up, his tone calm, yet unable to refute anything. “Bring Miss Yi back. If she can’t come back, no one else can. ”
Yan Han had always been good to his subordinates. Giving such a death order was usually directed towards the most serious matters.
The captain, who had been standing to the side like a javelin, looked down.
Once again, Eastmount was at the heart of the struggle.
But at this moment, Yi Ren, who was sitting in the bamboo shadow and resting with his eyes closed, had no idea at all.
She could only hear the chirping of birds and the wonderful harmony of nature.
Yi Ren felt a little dizzy. She had been dizzy for the past few days, so Yi Ren thought that she might have been moved. When she woke up in the morning, she actually felt nauseous. I can’t eat much anymore.
The food here was simple. In the past, when Pei Ruochen was around, he could still eat different kinds of food.’s skills were also good, Yi Ren did not think much of it, now that she had consecutively eaten fried vegetables with cured meat for a month, Yi Ren no longer had any interest in this wild food. Especially cured meat, it had become extremely tiresome these few days.
Thus, he could only drink white porridge in small bowls every day. He did not feel hungry, but he still felt extremely uncomfortable.
His whole body felt uncomfortable.
