Chapter 168: A ferocious tiger (6)
He knew that Xie Xuanji had come with his men, and he also knew that a fierce battle would be inevitable. The imperial physician’s words still rang in his ears, but now he had no choice. Xie Xuanji and the Emperor would not let him live, Xie Xuanchen was also an arrogant and proud person for his whole life, he couldn’t stand being besieged and not being able to fight back.
Today, he would most probably die here. Unexpectedly, he fought many wars, killed countless people, but in the end, he didn’t die on the battlefield, but died for this reason.
How useless.
Xie Xuanchen laughed at himself mockingly. He was not afraid of death, but he did have some regrets in life. It was still far from April, and he didn't know what the Begonias looked like yet.
Xie Xuanchen raised a hand, with blood covering his slender fingers. He slowly made a fist and watched as scarlet red blood dripped out from his palm, winding into a red line along the lines of his palm. It's a pity that his bare hands were not as useful as his weapons. In the future, who knows who would be lucky enough to use his weapons.
Xie Xuanchen was about to accumulate his energy when he suddenly heard the sound of someone running. All the soldiers outside were heavily armored, so the excessively light footsteps sounded especially pronounced.
Xie Xuanchen was startled and looked up in disbelief, "Mu Mingtang?"
"It's me!" Mu Mingtang ran into the hall, she was originally trying to find her way, and ran over immediately after hearing Xie Xuanchen's voice, "I got the medicine."
Mu Mingtang ran up with her skirt slightly lifted, regardless of the blood on the floor, she knelt on the ground and handed the medicine to Xie Xuanchen. After opening the brocade box, she remembered that to drink the medicine, he needed water, so she hurriedly got up to get some water.
Xie Xuanchen looked at the scene in front of him, it was unbelievable.
"Are you crazy? Why did you come back?"
Mu Mingtang started to feel angry when he talked about this. She poured him a cup of cold tea, gritted her teeth and handed it to Xie Xuanchen: "I forgave you at first, but you lied to me again later. Let me tell you, our fight is not over yet!"
Xie Xuanchen didn't know why his brain suddenly twitched, and naturally said, "When did we even quarrel?"
As soon as the soldiers who were prepared for battle came in, they heard such a sentence. The advance team, who already had the determination to sacrifice themselves, was puzzled when they heard Concubine An going at Prince An, and immediately after that, they heard Prince An, who was rumoured to be on a killing spree, ask in a very innocent tone, when did they even quarrel.
The strongest and most fearless elites in the army were stunned. Xie Xuanji followed along and entered, this was when he heard Mu Mingtang curse: "Don’t act a fool, you’re always this unreasonable. You were the one who stirred up the issue. You hurt yourself into this state, who are you trying to threaten? Aren’t I still the one who has to bandage your wound?"
At this time, even Xie Xuanji was stunned. The situation in the manor…… seemed to be different from what they had in mind. Xie Xuanji originally thought that he would face a death match, but in reality, the couple was just quarrelling with each other?
No, it sounds like Xie Xuanchen was the one being scolded, there was no quarrel.
Xie Xuanchen was left dumbfounded. He was unreasonable? He was the one to stir up the issue? That wasn’t true at all, where did all this come from?
Xie Xuanchen suddenly realised that he didn't have time to be entangled with such trivial matters. His current state was extremely unstable. He had let himself bleed out, the pain along with the loss of blood, all of this so that he could still maintain some rationality, but it does not mean that he could stay this way forever.
If Mu Mingtang wasn’t here, Xie Xuanchen would not have any worries at all, but now, with her, Xie Xuanchen had to consider whether he would accidentally hurt Mu Mingtang. Seeing that the people outside had already come in, Xie Xuanchen tried to send away this burden from his side: “I know how to control my blows, you head out first."
"You have already fooled me once with this reason, do you really think I’ll still believe you?”
