Chapter 403: A Fated Affinity
Han Moxi stroked Qing’er’s head in consolation. “Who knows? Perhaps, your Young Miss will suddenly come back one day! So don’t give up all hope! You have to live happily on and wait for her to return.”
Qing’er wiped her tears. “Is that possible?”
“Your Young Miss loves my royal brother so much, so I think, as long as she hasn’t lost her memories, she will definitely find a way to get back. Who knows? That could be tomorrow.” Han Moxi pressed Qing’er’s head into his chest and felt his heart fill up.
Qing’er sobbed a few times, then wiped her tears. “I’ll always be waiting here for Young Miss to come back. No matter how long it takes, I think she’ll come back one day to see me.”
A warm, gentle grin formed in the corner of Han Moxi’s mouth, as he tightly embraced Qing’er in silence.
News of Han Moze catching a serious illness spread like wildfire. Soon enough, it was widely known.
“Is it true?” Xu Ziling asked who jumped from her seat, as she glared at Xiao Yun.
“Young Lady, of course it is true. For the past few days, the imperial hospital has been sending medicine to the Dark Moon palace every day. On top of that, His Majesty hasn’t attended court every day, so I dare guarantee that His Majesty must have caught a serious illness.” Xiao Yun had a look of absolute certainty on her face.
Xu Ziling squinted and smirked.
“You brainless, unruly shrew of an elder young lady, hurry and let me go! I want to go back and protect His Majesty!” Suddenly roared Zuiying in a cold voice, as he stood tied behind a pillar in the room.
The day they returned to the capital, Young Lady Xu had him escort her back to her manor. He had been afraid something might happen to Young Lady Xu on her journey and so, as an extra precaution, he had personally escorted her back to the general’s manor. But to his surprise, he had ended up being detained by the general’s guards after the Young Lady Xu tightly hugged him and claimed that he had harassed her. He had been tied up there and beaten. ‘This Young Lady Xu is really worth hating to the core.’
With that thought, Zuiying glared immensely furious at Xu Ziling with burning rage in his eyes.
Xu Ziling let out a cold chuckle, grabbed a stone from the table and threw it at Zuiying. “Go on and dodge again. Aren’t you really powerful? And yet, in the end, you fell by my hand?” She mocked.
The rock hit Zuiying hard on the chest, causing him to involuntarily let out a scream. “I’ll remember this. That was the one hundred and thirty-third stone you threw at me!” He said angrily through gritted teeth.
Xu Ziling grinned. “I hear that you have a seriously ill older brother. I’m thinking whether or not to invite your brother to…”
“W-what… do you want to do? If you dare touch a single hair on my older brother, I’ll definitely kill you!” cried Zuiying furiously in a chilling voice and eyes so vicious that he looked like he could eat someone.
Xu Ziling let out a soft scoff, then brutally threw several rocks at Zuiying and made loud thudding noises.
“You’re just a mere guard. Did you think that I would be afraid of you?”
Zuiying tightly gritted his teeth to stop himself from crying out in pain, but the creases in his forehead made it very obvious just how much pain he was in.
“Young Lady, don’t hit him anymore. That shadow guard’s chest is full of blood. It looks so scary!” Xiao Yun had a terrified look on her face.
“What are you afraid of? Just pretend he’s a blockhead.” Xu Ziling sat back in her seat, then leisurely admired the tragic look on Zuiying’s face.
“B-but… the problem is that’s a living, breathing person! A-and… that shadow guard has already been tied up for two days now. If you continued to keep him tied up, would he bite his tongue to commit suicide?” said Xiao Yun with furrowed brows.
“Xiao Yun, don’t worry about it. I hear that this shadow guard really treasures his life because he has a severely ill older brother to take care of. If he dies, then who would take care of his older brother?” said Xu Ziling flatly.
