Chapter 32 | Gu Poison

Throwing An Ruolan aside, Qi Xutian rushed to the bed and hugged Qi Mingyue. He seemed to be unable to control the spasm of his hands and feet, desperately restrained himself by clenching his hands and curled up in Qi Xutian's arms.

At first, Qi Mingyue felt bursts of dull pain. At that time, he felt something was wrong but then the pain erupted like a pointed needle in his heart, it seemed as if it would be ripped apart as coldness spread throughout his body. He had never experienced such terrible pain and bit down on his lip to prevent himself from letting out the painful roar caged in his throat.

Qi Xutian held Qi Mingyue in his arms and restrained the monstrous murderous intent raging within. He wanted to destroy that woman with thousands of swords but reason told him that she couldn't be moved. He had never felt so restrained by someone, especially towards a harem woman who had previously been akin to a mouse he had never cared about. The unwillingness, fury, bloodthirsty madness, and anxiety bubbling within made his eyes appear tinged red. Step by step, he walked in front of An Ruolan, and with an emotionless voice, as if coming straight from the underworld, he said, "Are you looking for death?"

His voice was low, frigid and harsh, and even implied endless killing intent. An Ruolan couldn't help but take a few steps back and lean against the wall to support herself. She had never faced such a terrifying monarch. She had no doubt that if Qi Mingyue's life didn't depend on her survival, she wouldn't be alive at that moment.

But wasn't she the one in control right now? Thinking of this, she smiled. She was trembling lightly and trying to keep calm, hiding the terror in her eyes as well as her quivering voice, she said, "Don't forget, Your Majesty, if this concubine dies, Qi Mingyue can't live. This concubine just vomited blood and he's already like that. If Your Majesty did anything to me, I'm afraid he would die right in front of you. Your Majesty will regret it."

Qi Xutian's looked at her with dangerous half-lidded eyes. He did not expect An Ruolan would be this cruel, she actually laid such a poisonous hand on her own flesh and blood. Even if she wasn't a kind and delicate woman and had her own means, he never expected her to have the guts to dare to poison MingEr with gu. Not to mention the fact that she neither understood it nor had the connections to get such a thing, then how did she do it?

Qi Xutian's deep eyes grew darker as he caressed MingEr's gradually relaxing figure. Han Ziqi, since you dare to do it, you have to bear the consequences.

Qi Mingyue clenched his hands and when the pain gradually eased, he slowly released his lower lip. The smell of blood made the bloodlust in his heart ignite again. Those who walked against the water must have the consciousness of being swallowed by water. She no longer regarded him as her son, then why should he respect her as his mother? He settled his mind, opened his eyes and said in a hoarse, weak voice to Qi Xutian, "Since we can't kill her, let her live this way. One day, we will be able to get rid of the poison. I will let her know what's an alien star and what's metricide."

His remark made An Ruolan unable to resist herself from trembling. His expression was neither happy nor angry, but it made people feel cold since he said it so lightly. Both Qi Xutian and Qi Mingyue watched her calmly as she stood in front of them - two pairs of similar eyes with the same dark and deep look - it made An Ruolan begin to regret, maybe she really did a foolish thing?

Under their gaze, her body softened and she gradually fell to the ground, but her will to survive made her speak again, "You must not hurt me, as long as I am even slightly injured, I will give Qi Mingyue ten times the pain!"

That was to say, she was safe for the moment. Qi Xutian snorted coldly and transmitted a message outside to a shadow guard. A black shadow flickered and appeared inside the room. "Take her down and keep her under strict surveillance. People who conspire will receive no amnesty!"
