I’ll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law
chapter-38

After the words “the Prince of Qiyang awake” were said, the soldiers outside visibly tensed up, with the sound of them drawing out their swords and running over, the soldiers got into formation as they pulled out their white blades and pointed it towards the hall.

The atmosphere outside Yu Lin Hall suddenly became tense. The commotion happening outside could be clearly heard from inside the hall, Xie Xuanchen heard the sound of the bugle, and seemed to smirk as he slowly raised his head to look at Xie Xuanji.

“I’m not dead yet, are you already in a such a hurry?”

Xie Xuanchen looked calm and innocent when he was fast asleep. Mu Mingtang always dissed him in secret as he looked like a kept man. But now that he opened his eyes, Mu Mingtang immediately understood the reason why no one ever said that the prince of Qiyang looked like a kept man.

With his pair of eyes, no one could describe him as being feminine or a kept man. Hundreds of soldiers gathered outside the gate, Xie Xuanji and Mu Mingtang stood in the hall, but at this moment, no one dared to make a sound.

However, this sentence seemed to exhaust all the energy out of Xie Xuanchen. After he finished speaking, he suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood and fell heavily on the bed. Mu Mingtang was taken aback, and hurried forward: “Prince, prince?”

Mu Mingtang knelt on the foot rest, and saw that the blood that he just spit out was bright red, it instantly stained half of the bed. Mu Mingtang’s heart ached at the sight of this, and she immediately started to look for a cloth, as she wanted to wipe away the blood for him.

Xie Xuanchen fainted again, Xie Xuanji undoubtedly let out a long sigh of relief. Xie Xuanji looked sideways and saw that Mu Mingtang ran to Xie Xuanchen without hesitation, as if she didn’t know how many people’s lives did this man take, Xie Xuanji felt a strange feeling surge in his heart.

When Xie Xuanchen went crazy, he killed mercilessly. Xie Xuanji should have left immediately, but he watched Mu Mingtang kneel by the bed and carefully wiped the blood from Xie Xuanchen’s mouth, he still couldn’t help but ask, “Aren’t you afraid?”

Mu Mingtang turned around and saw that Xie Xuanji hadn’t left yet, and was shocked: “What should I be afraid of?”

“You’re not afraid that he’ll kill you?”

“No.” Mu Mingtang turned around and carefully wiped away the blood on Xie Xuanchen’s collar. “He is the Marquis of Wu’an, he’ll not kill innocent people. Besides, he saved my life before, even if he couldn’t recognise me and killed me, that’s how I’ll repay him.”

Xie Xuanji furrowed his brows even tighter. The title of being the Marquis of Wu’an was from ages ago, how could Mu Mingtang know about this? Upon listening to what she just said, could it be that they had met each other a long time ago?

Xie Xuanji looked at her coldly for a moment, then turned and left. When the guards outside the hall saw him coming out, they all let out a long sigh of relief: “Prince Jin, how is the Prince of Qiyang?”

“He woke up for a while, then passed out again. Stay here and guard after him, I’ll call for the imperial physician now.”

“Yes.”

After Xie Xuanji had left, the guards temporarily loosened their guard, but they didn’t dare to relax completely, so they did their best to guard outside the hall. Through the window, Mu Mingtang heard that their patrols were even more frequent.

One side of the cloth was already tainted red, Mu Mingtang sighed softly, she was planning to get up to look for another clean piece of cloth, and fetch some water on the way. She had just moved, when she felt her wrist being grasped forcefully by one hand.

Mu Mingtang’s legs softened as she fell to her knees. She was so frightened that even before she could scream, she was already stopped by a cold voice: “Shut up, if you dare to scream, I’ll kill you.”
