Chapter 360: Let Me Be Your Last Man
“Princess Consort, the palace is so big and quiet,” Xiaoman whispered.
“Yes,” Jiang Ning wrapped her coat tightly, “Don’t talk, or the wind will blow into your mouth, and it’s cold.”
Xiaoman nodded, but then she remembered that the Princess Consort couldn’t see her nod, so she said, “I know.”
As soon as she opened her mouth, a gust of cold wind carrying snow particles poured into her mouth.
Xiaoman started coughing.
Jiang Ning laughed, “I told you not to open your mouth.”
After coughing for a while, Xiaoman said, “I’m hungry, Princess Consort.”
“What do you want to eat? I’ll cook it when we get home.”
“I want to eat the red bean rice cake soup that the Princess Consort made last time. It’s sweet and warm.”
“Alright.”
Xiaoman smiled happily, and another gust of wind blew, even sweeping snow into her eyes.
She quickly closed her eyes and rubbed them with her hands.
At that moment, a dark shadow silently approached and struck Xiaoman’s neck with a hand.
Xiaoman felt a sudden pain in her neck, and then she knew nothing.
The heavy thud as she fell to the ground made Jiang Ning’s heart skip a beat.
She hurriedly turned around, “Xiaoman, Xiaoman, what happened to you?”
“She won’t die.”
A cold, lifeless voice sounded behind her.
Jiang Ning’s whole body shivered.
She spun around abruptly, but before she could make a sound, her neck was grabbed.
A terrifying face with a scar neared her, the voice emotionless, “I’m taking you away, the Master wants to see you.”
Jiang Ning’s throat was constricted, and she couldn’t breathe or scream.
She struggled, kicking and hitting the man, but he showed no reaction.
Jiang Ning grabbed a hairpin from her head and stabbed it into his arm.
The man hesitated for a moment, looked at her, then knocked her unconscious, threw her over his shoulder, and jumped onto the wall to leave.
“Is it about time for her to wake up?”
Li Jixian’s voice came through the haze.
Jiang Ning’s consciousness returned, and she let out a low moan.
The back of her head, where she had been knocked out, throbbed with pain. She felt a large swelling.
She struggled to open her eyes and found herself back in the small room in the East Palace.
As expected, Li Jixian was sitting in a chair, staring at her, his eyes flickering with excitement, like a poisonous glow.
Damn it.
This scum!
“Princess Consort of Yu, welcome back to the East Palace,” Li Jixian spread his hands, “Take a look around, does it look familiar? Oh, after you burned it last time, I had it restored to its original state. Can you find any differences? Oh, and my wounded face is also healed. Would you like to take a look?”
Jiang Ning coldly said, “Li Jixian, it seems that the lesson I gave you last time was not enough. You dare to kidnap me again.”
“No, it’s different this time,” Li Jixian smiled and stood up gracefully, “Last time, I just wanted you. I thought you were just beautiful and would be obedient like other women, but you were surprisingly impressive. Over these past six months, you have caused me a lot of trouble. So, are you trying to use your cleverness to help your man win the Crown Prince title?”
He walked over to Jiang Ning, grabbed her chin, and forced her to lift her head, “Why don’t you guess if the fifth brother can return safely this time?”
“What are you going to do?”
Li Jixian said unhurriedly, “Last time I invited you, I just wanted you, to share the pleasures of love with a beauty like you. But now, I want to kill you. Of course, before that, I will have you and become your last man..”
