Chapter 152
Nalan Jingwen flung the person away, sending her crashing to the ground, and stepped on her chest.
"Say!"
The shopkeeper coughed incessantly, and before he could even beg for mercy, he quickly said, "I... I didn't see clearly, I only remember him walking in that direction!"
She pointed in one direction, her expression pained.
"Didn't you lie to me?"
"How could I dare to lie to you! My life is in your hands."
Nalan Jingwen withdrew his foot and ran off in the direction she pointed.
After she left, the waiter who had been hiding inside the inn hurriedly came out and helped the innkeeper up.
"Shopkeeper, are you alright?"
The shopkeeper slapped her on the head and said angrily, "What do you think?! Help me inside! Ouch, my back is about to break."
The waiter, though furious, dared not speak out and helped the person inside.
……
Nalan Jingwen went along the way but did not see that familiar figure. She began to ask people. People came and went on the street, and perhaps because her appearance was too outstanding, they all attracted her attention.
Initially, no one had seen the man she was talking about, and Nalan Jingwen even suspected that the shopkeeper was lying to her. But when she asked the last person, she finally got some information.
"Are you talking about a man who was wearing purple clothes, about this tall, very handsome, but looked very sad?"
Nalan Jingwen nodded quickly, "Yes! It's him! Where is he?"
The man thought for a moment and said, "It seems he has left the city."
"If you want to find him, you'd better hurry. I saw him go into the pharmacy and ask the doctor to prescribe Gelsemium elegans for him. The doctor saw that he was not in good condition and was afraid that he might do something, so he refused to help him."
Nalan Jingwen's heart sank, and he took out a silver note and placed it in her hand.
"Thank you."
He then immediately ran towards the outside of the city, even using his light-footed skills.
The man stared wide-eyed at the silver note in his hand.
Good heavens, she had a stroke of incredible luck when she went out; a windfall fell from the sky!
Nalan Jingwen moved extremely fast, continuing forward, calculating how far he could go alone, until finally his path was blocked by a lake.
She frowned and scanned her surroundings, but did not see any familiar figures.
They started shouting along the lake.
"Jinse! Where are you?!"
"Jinse! I know you can hear me! Since you've been following me, why don't you come out and see me?!"
"Jinse! Come out here!"
Nalan Jingwen called out for a long time, but no one answered.
However, the path was blocked by the lake. If he wanted to get through, he had to cross it, but he had no martial arts skills. How could he possibly get through?
She lowered her eyes in thought, then suddenly realized something, and her face instantly darkened. She searched more carefully along the lakeside, expanding her senses to the maximum extent.
As the saying goes, perseverance pays off, and they finally detected a faint fluctuation of energy.
She rushed over and, sure enough, saw a shadow underwater.
Her pupils contracted slightly, and without hesitation, she jumped in and pulled the person out.
When she saw that familiar face, she was still shocked, her expression turning cold.
I reached out to check his breath; thankfully, he could still be saved, thankfully it was in time.
They took the man to a temple in the wilderness, then lit a fire with a pile of wood and knelt down to help him take off his clothes.
His collar was slightly open, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the shocking wound. Nalan Jingwen felt a tightness in his chest, and an indescribable emotion spread through him.
The Xuan power was transferred into his body, and the unconscious man coughed up the water. He slowly opened his eyes and was slightly stunned when he saw Nalan Jingwen. He then reached out his hand, wanting to touch Nalan Jingwen, but stopped halfway through.
"Your Majesty?"
"It's me, the king."
Nalan Jingwen suppressed his anger and agreed to his request.
Jinse smiled gently. "I'm already dead, right? That's why I can see Your Highness."
"I miss Your Highness very much."
"Why don't you want to see me?"
Jinse's smile was somewhat bitter. He said, "I am ashamed of Your Highness's affection. I am not a virgin and cannot stay by Your Highness's side. I can only bring shame upon Your Highness."
Looking at his bitter smile, Nalan Jingwen really wanted to crack open his head and see what was inside.
So he didn't listen to a word she said back then?!
She took a deep breath and said, "So you never come to see me, and every time after one night you just leave me with someone else?"
She stared intently at him and said, word by word, "Jinse, you really have no heart."
Jinse was a little flustered and quickly shook her head to explain.
"I also want to appear before Your Highness openly and honestly, but I..."
Nalan Jingwen interrupted him.
"So you have never considered my feelings, always acting according to your own will, and never asking what I think."
"You say your body is dirty and you are not worthy of me, but I have said before that I have never cared about such things. I don't want your self-righteous sacrifice. What I want is your heart, your body, and everything you have."
Jinse's eyes widened slightly, as if she were confirming something.
Nalan Jingwen continued, "If you truly loved me, you wouldn't have done this. You wouldn't have finished all this without leaving me a single word, and instead chose to commit suicide."
"From the day I took your body, you became my person. Everything about you bears my name, Nalan Jingwen. Without my permission, you are not allowed to dispose of my things at will! Even your death requires my consent!"
She never treated people as objects, but now she had no choice but to threaten him in this way.
Jinse looked somewhat incredulous and reached out her hand to Nalan Jingwen again.
The latter grabbed his hand and touched her face.
When he touched the warm touch, he shuddered, then immediately stood up and knelt down before Nalan Jingwen.
"Your Highness, what's wrong...?"
"How did I get here? Why aren't you dead yet?"
Nalan Jingwen looked at him with a solemn expression.
"Are you really going to abandon me alone? Are you really willing to do that?"
"Jinse, are your feelings for me fake?"
"Was everything you did also a lie?"
When Jinse looked up again, her face was covered in tears. She shook her head, looking broken and heartbroken.
"no……"
"No? Then why have you been following me all this time, yet never come to see me? Every time you've helped me with your body, you just leave me to someone else and go your own way? Why don't you say anything and just try to kill yourself?"
She dared not imagine what would have happened if she had been even a step too late, or what she would have done when her body was found.
"Jinse, you have never considered me; you only love yourself."
Nalan Jingwen stood up, took two steps back, and looked utterly disappointed.
Jinse shook her head, crawled forward a few steps, and tried to grab Nalan Jingwen's clothes.
"That's not true... I love Your Highness very much..."
"From the day Your Highness said you would take me away, I have been looking forward to your return every day. Even if I don't know if what you said is true or false, I still look forward to it every day."
