Soon, Qin Hao’s cheeks also flushed with redness.
"Pity? What is there to pity, when fa and fortune are as fleeting as clouds passing by. Losing one’s head is nothing more than a scar the size of a bowl! Am I right or not? Heh heh heh..."
He let out a silly laugh.
Back then, he used to work at the Hanlin Imperial Academy, simply compiling books and sorting manuscripts. The work was as relaxed as could be.
Until later... Later, what happened later? His mind was a jumbled ss.
"Exactly, you’ve said it wonderfully!"
The governnt officer slowly fed him the wine, watching as he gradually emptied the bowl, and only then did he relax significantly.
The next mont, he raised the bowl high in his hand, and with a "smack," it shattered heavily on the ground, the tiles scattering everywhere.
"Well said! A scar no bigger than a bowl after losing your head! Since you’ve chosen your own way to die, how could we not fulfill your wish?"
To live is not easy.
To die, nothing could be simpler!
The sound of the wine bowl smashing to the ground made Qin Hao’s eyelids twitch, and he instinctively looked at the n: "You, what do you an by that?"
"Whatever you think it ans, that’s what it ans."
All the n put down their food and drink, slowly got up, and began moving step by step towards Qin Hao’s corner.
"Our brothers have taken such good care of you with food and drink for so long; we’ve toiled whether or not it was hard. Tell us, what do you think we an?"
What else could it an? It’s obviously what you think it ans!
Good tis, good food and drink...
Qin Hao suddenly understood the key point! It was exactly because of this that he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, instantly sobering up!
This ti, he could no longer keep his composure and frantically scrambled backward.
"You, you... No, it can’t be like this! His Majesty had issued an Imperial Decree to have exiled to Qiongzhou. How could it be, it can’t be..."
"Why can’t it be? Haven’t you thought, even though you have the Emperor behind you, we are already far beyond the boundaries of the Capital City. Hasn’t the saying gone, ’The spring breeze doesn’t pass through Yun Pass’? Even the Emperor, with all his might, cannot reach us here, and no one can save you!"
The governnt officer spoke calmly, his face one of indifference to life and death, not taking any notice of the terror etched on Qin Hao’s face: "If you must bla, bla yourself for tampering with soone you shouldn’t have. Now you must pay with your life! Relax, we will collect all your blood neatly, to deliver to our client. Rest assured and be on your way!"
From the beginning, they had decided to wait until they reached a secluded place before taking action. This place, not too far nor too close to the Capital City, was just right for their deed.
"I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I really don’t want to die! Please, I beg you..."
Qin Hao only now felt the fear of death, kneeling on the ground, incessantly begging for rcy.
But to those n, who were used to seeing life and death, prostrations could not stop what was coming.
"Alright! You’ve had your last al, your Beheading Wine too; now it’s ti for the brothers to see you off. Don’t be afraid, the brothers have mixed a special ingredient into the wine, so you won’t feel a thing, and your head will drop to the ground before you know it. Relax, it’s just a scar the size of a bowl, what’s there to fear?"
Saying this, he drew a large knife from behind his back.
Qin Hao scrambled backward, trying to flee, but his legs were so weak that they had no strength at all, and he could only watch helplessly as the person approached, the shiny knife dazzling him.
His eyes bulged out of their sockets, and he let out a great roar!
"I fuck your ancestors!"
Before the words had even settled, the governnt officer’s knife had already fallen sharply.
The next mont, accompanied by the sound of bone being severed, a gush of blood spurted from the neck stump, but it was swiftly caught by the quick-handed governnt officer, not a single drop spilling out.
Afterward, the headless body finally slumped to the ground.
...
Blood, blood was everywhere...
Like an expansive Asura Sea, everywhere the eye could see was blood red, a truly frightening sight.
"Ah!"
Su Pan’er suddenly woke with a start, sitting up abruptly from the head of the bed, gasping for breath.
"What’s wrong, Pan’er?"
Qin Yi, who was lying beside her, also woke up and hurriedly asked.
Su Pan’er finally regained her composure, looked at the man next to her, and slowly lay back down. She shook her head apologetically, "I don’t know why, but I had another nightmare. That’s what startled awake."
"Again? Do you often have nightmares?"
Qin Yi was filled with concern and quickly threw off the silkworm silk quilt, rising to call for the eunuch, "Quick! The Empress is feeling unwell, go fetch Imperial Physician Wang at once."
"It’s nothing serious, it was just a nightmare, why make such a fuss?" Su Pan’er said, sowhat embarrassed.
"What do you an it’s nothing? Didn’t you say you often have nightmares? If that’s a small matter, then what counts as a serious one?"
Qin Yi was not so easily fooled, "Don’t try to brush it off. If it’s nothing, then consider it simply inviting Imperial Physician Wang to take your peaceful pulse."
"Alright then."
With the conversation reaching this point, Su Pan’er could no longer put it off, so she lay back down in the bed to keep warm.
By the ti Imperial Physician Wang arrived, Su Pan’er had already taken a short rest.
"When did you start having nightmares?"
After conducting a thorough examination, Imperial Physician Wang inquired about the condition.
"Recently, it’s been less frequent, but before that... when I was in the countryside, it happened more often. Actually, it’s not a big deal, I mostly don’t rember the dreams after waking up," Su Pan’er thought of the Asura Sea in her nightmare and hurriedly shook her head to dismiss those images.
Imperial Physician Wang examined Su Pan’er further, and after clarifying her symptoms, stood up and announced, "Empress, you suffer from palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, blurred vision, restless sleep filled with dreams, poor mory, lack of facial color, spiritual listlessness, reduced appetite, abdominal bloating and loose stools. Administering modified Guipi Soup to nourish the blood and calm the heart, bolster the vitality, and soothe the mind should help. I will also perform acupuncture to unblock your blood vitality. It should be effective soon."
"Good, Imperial Physician Wang, I trust your skills. Go ahead with the prescription," Qin Yi said before Su Pan’er could speak.
Imperial Physician Wang accepted the order and went aside to write the prescription.
This left Su Pan’er sowhat amused. Despite her own outstanding dical skills, Qin Yi always took such good care of her, warming her heart. So she let it be.
After Imperial Physician Wang finished prescribing and left, Qin Yi ordered the palace maid to quickly prepare the dicine and bring it over.
"You always do this, never willing to speak up. You’re a miracle healer, yet you don’t even know how to treat yourself... really!" Qin Yi said, a bit annoyed, as he took her hand and gently bit it.
"Don’t you know that ’doctors do not heal themselves’?"
Su Pan’er withdrew her hand forcefully and, with a roll towards him, nestled into his arms, lying on his legs and looking up at him. She had a clear view of his prominent Adam’s apple.
"You, you always make it hard for soone to stop worrying."
Qin Yi felt a bit irritated and deliberately rubbed his chin against her cheek.
They nuzzled each other intimately!
