Chapter 181
The person below shuddered, as if he had thought of something extremely terrifying.
"Your Highness, I will do my utmost! I will not let you down!"
Nangong Jiuyan scoffed lightly, his expression mocking.
"You said the same thing last time, and what happened? Nalan Jingwen still managed to escape! You couldn't even catch the man next to her! A bunch of useless trash!"
The people lowered their heads, making it impossible to see their expressions.
"Your Highness, the man is severely injured, his internal organs are shattered, and his limbs are crippled. Unless a god comes to his rescue, he will probably not survive."
"Don't give me this nonsense. You can't draw conclusions without seeing the body!"
"This time, success is the only option; failure is not an option!"
Nalan Jingwen felt a chill run through her body, as if a huge rock was pressing on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe. Her heart felt like it had been crushed by a boulder, leaving it a bloody mess.
My eyes stung and hot, but the tears that streamed down my face turned cold.
She trembled as she raised her hand and caught the tear, then slowly clenched it. The jade hairpin in her arms seemed to be burning hot, so hot it hurt her terribly, as if it would scorch her to obliterate her.
She clutched her chest, the pain causing her to bend over. Large drops of sweat mixed with tears fell, and her gentle face flashed through her mind frame by frame. Her tall, upright figure, like a pine tree, remained so clear even now.
She simply couldn't imagine how much pain such a gentle and resilient man must have endured torment.
Liu Qishan...
Her lips moved, but no sound came out.
Her willow-lined mountain...
She clenched her fists, veins bulging, in excruciating pain, so much so that she couldn't even feel her nails digging into her flesh, her eyes filled with hatred.
It's all her fault. It's all her fault for not protecting him. It's all her fault that he suffered all this for no reason.
What should we do? Is he in pain?
Nalan Jingwen stared intently at the woman in the room, his eyes bloodshot, wanting nothing more than to kill her right now!
But reason prevailed in the end. She didn't expose herself and waited for everyone to leave. Once the candles in the room were extinguished and the person inside was breathing steadily, she entered through the window, stood in front of the bed, and looked at the person on the bed as if she were looking at a dead person.
The person on the bed seemed to sense the gaze and suddenly opened their eyes, but was startled when they saw the dark figure. Just as they were about to speak, Nalan Jingwen knocked them unconscious with a palm strike and left the palace.
Nangong Jiuyan didn't know how long she had been unconscious. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself tied to the edge of a cliff, her hands and feet bound, making it impossible for her to move.
She turned her head and saw a bottomless abyss behind her; that one glance was enough to terrify anyone.
"woke up?"
A cold female voice came from behind her. She looked over and saw a familiar face.
"Nalan Jingwen!!"
Nalan Jingwen walked up to her with an indifferent expression, looking down at her.
"You're not hurt?!"
Nangong Jiuyan cried out in alarm.
Nalan Jingwen's lips curled into a mocking smile, but his eyes were icy cold.
"Disappointed, are you? You failed to kill me twice."
"how so……"
she murmured.
"Yes, how could this be? How come I can't kill him? He's still alive and well?"
"Unfortunately, even if you die, I will not."
Startled by the sound of a sharp weapon scraping the ground, Nangong Jiuyan saw the long sword in her hand and suddenly leaned forward, forcing himself to remain calm as he said, "What do you want to do? Let me tell you, if you dare to lay a hand on me, Qi Lin will definitely not let you off!"
Nalan Jingwen was not intimidated by her words, and picked up his sword to pat her face.
"What do I want to do? I am Nalan Jingwen, the wise king of Fengtian, a wise king who is seriously injured and on the verge of death, and is still unconscious in the post station. What can I do?"
Nangong Jiuyan's pupils shrank drastically, "You!!"
She was actually fooled by Nalan Jingwen! None of her subordinates noticed anything amiss, and they even swore that Nalan Jingwen was still unconscious.
A bunch of idiots!!
Nalan Jingwen did not want to waste any more words on her. He pointed his long sword at her, the blade gleaming with a chilling light that sent shivers down one's spine.
"Tell me, why did you want to kill me?"
"Do I have a grudge against you?"
Why is she so determined to kill her, not even sparing those close to her?!
"It's not me who wants to kill you! It's her! She said that Xue Qingheng cares about you the most, and that once you're dead, Xue Qingheng will be thrown into chaos and will no longer protect Nangong Shiyu. Then that position will be mine! Nangong Shiyu is no match for me!!"
At this moment, Nangong Jiuyan could not care about anything else. As long as he could survive, everything could start over. Only by surviving could there be hope!
She absolutely cannot die!!
Nalan Jingwen keenly grasped the key point in her words, his expression darkened, and he drew his longsword even closer.
"who is she?!"
"I don't know!! She always wears a veil, so it's impossible to see her face. She refuses to show her true face and has never said her name!"
"She said she would help me get that position, and her first task is to kill you!!"
"It's not that I want to kill you!! It's that you must die!!"
Nalan Jingwen tightened her grip, as if a flame was burning fiercely in her heart, threatening to consume her reason.
"Since you want to kill me, why not spare Liu Qishan! He's just an innocent man! Why do you have to kill him completely?!"
Nalan Jingwen practically roared out his last sentence, his voice hoarse and his eyes bloodshot.
If you're going to kill her, then just kill her. Why not spare Liu Qishan?
The long sword pierced Nangong Jiuyan's chest several inches deep. She was so frightened that she disregarded the pain.
"He is your husband, a highly skilled doctor. Even if you were on your last breath, he could have saved you. So he must die too!!"
"But that wasn't my request, it was what she said, it has nothing to do with me!!"
Nalan Jingwen's hand trembled slightly as the longsword plunged in again, blood already flowing out and staining his snow-white inner robe. Nangong Jiuyan's expression froze, and he dared not move.
So is that why they won't let Liu Qishan go?
It was all because of her...
She ruined him...
If she had died, would Liu Qishan have avoided this calamity?
Is this retribution? Is it retribution for all the bad things she did in her past life?
Nalan Jingwen closed her eyes, and a tear rolled down her cheek without warning, mingling with the soil on the ground. She felt a lump in her throat, an unbearable pain.
When he opened his eyes again, they were as red as those of a bloodthirsty wolf.
A flash of sword light, an arm fell, blood sprayed in the air, and a scream rang out.
The veins on Nangong Jiuyan's forehead were bulging, and large drops of sweat streamed down, blurring his vision.
She stared at her empty left arm, her eyes contorted with rage.
Nalan Jingwen merely looked at her coldly, "You should also experience the pain that Liu Qishan suffered."
As soon as he finished speaking, another sharp sword light flashed.
