Chapter 29 – The battle between love rivals The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife The Sly Lady (1/2)

A purple figure flew by in the dark night, landing gracefully to the side of the spring. The tall and upright stature, pretty and handsome face, it was no other than the crown prince of Qin, Ye Yichen. He stared at Ouyang Shaochen and Murong Xue in the hot spring with his pair of eyes burning with raging flames. He wanted them burned to death!

Ouyang Shaochen moved with a sense of alertness. He grabbed the soaking long skirt in the water, put it on over Murong Xue’s delicate body, covering her exposed flesh. He uncourteously called: “Crown prince of Qin, this is a place where you are not welcomed, please leave immediately!”

“Save your breath Ouyang royals, I, the crown prince have found the person I’m looking for and I shall leave without delay.” Ye Yichen has experienced Ouyang Shaochen’s martial art skills and tricks before. Moreover, this compound is situated in his palace. It is inadvisable to have a conflict here with Ouyang Shaochen and shouldn’t even be bothered. He appeared here only because of the person he’s looking for: “Murong Xue, come here!”

He has been concerned about her poison attack. Night after night he wanted to send her the Fire Lotus Seed, but to his surprise, she is with Ouyang Shaochen, gathering together in a hot spring and snuggling in intimacy. It is extremely distasteful.

The forceful command pierced through the eardrums of Murong Xue. She creased her eyebrows wanting to return words, but she had forgotten about her soft and feeble body, which had no strength left. No matter how hard she tried, her heavy eyelids wouldn’t open. Her heart sighed helplessly, giving up on retaliation.

She curled up inside Ouyang Shaochen’s chest in idleness, even her eyelids did not have a slight gesture of moving. Ye Yichen had a realization, he understood that she wouldn’t attend to him. His angry eyes burned abruptly like a raging flamethrower: “ MURONG XUE!”

“Stop calling her. Her cold poison is taking effect. She has no room to bother with you!” Ouyang Shaochen replied him apathetically.

Suddenly, Ye Yichen was startled a little bit when he realized it was already midnight. The white bottle of a porcelain vase on his hand glowed with a glimpse of dim light in the dark night: Inside the vase is filled with the Fire Lotus Seed that can rescue Murong Xue’s life. He won’t let her die. It is obvious that he will eventually give the Fire Lotus Seed to her. However, before handing it over to her, he wants to make sure she knows that if she desires to live, he is the only person in this world that can save her. She has to rely on him.

Murong Xue looked up and saw only Ouyang Shaochen’s eyes looking back at her. Her delicate face restored its scarlet complexion a moment ago suddenly turned pale white, droplets of sweat like big beans loomed on her forehead and her delicate body shivered slightly.

The look in Ouyang’s eyes stiffened for a second, it’s her ….. cold poison breaking out again. It seems his endogenic force fused with the warmth from the hot spring can only drive out the toxins inside her body temporarily. If she is to survive safely tonight, she’ll need the Fire Lotus Seed!

His palm moved gently; the white brocade gown lying on the shore flew into his hand instantaneously. He wrapped it around Murong Xue, embraced her and soared up into the sky gracefully like a phoenix, then floated as light as a feather descending on the ground. His finger flicked lightly, in a flash, a layer of white fog lingered around them. When the mysterious white fog faded away, the water stains on them had evaporated and dried!

A tender finger as if made of jade crystals, went through the sleeves and retrieved a green porcelain bottle, then a medicine pill was brought out and fed into Murong Xue’s mouth.

Murong Xue had already been suffering in pain, now bitter and astringent substances fed into her mouth, she disgorged it involuntarily.

Ouyang Shaochen covered her mouth tightly, and said softly: “Don’t spit it out, eat it. You’ll be all right.”

“Ouyang Shaochen, what did you get her to consume?” The look of Ye Yichen was gloomy and frightening. His strict tone of interrogation voiced out: “While the cold poison is breaking out, carelessly consuming random medicine might cost her life.”

“It is Fire Lotus Seed!” Ouyang Shaochen replied casually.

The sharp and stern eyes of Ye Yichen squinted: “Why would you have the Fire Lotus Seed?” Fire Lotus Seed grows on the Fire Yun Shan Mountain, it is collected and delivered to the Qin palace when it reaches maturity, and very few quantities are leaked outside, must be confiscated by Zhen Dynasty ….

“Why couldn’t I, the royals, have it when you also have it?” With a cocky attitude, Ouyang Shaochen cast a glance on him, provokeing the gloomy and terrific Ye Yichen into retaliation: “It is only a Fire Lotus Seed, what’s there to be cocky about?

“Mine, the royals’ only Fire Lotus Seed is able to save Murong Xue’s life but you, Majesty Qin saves nobody with your innumerable Fire Lotus Seeds……” Ouyang Shaochen articulated with an unconcealed sarcastic tone.
