Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1098 He wants her to die!

There was a slight panic in Xiao Yuansui's military camp.

Although the prisoner was in trouble, the military doctor rushed over with a medicine box because General Shi personally ordered it, asking for hot water, needles and thread, and bandages. Soon, the soldiers watching the excitement smelled the bloody smell, but for them who were used to life and death and used to surviving in a stronger smell of blood, such a bloody smell didn't seem to be a big deal.

Moreover, after hearing that the person who committed suicide was a prisoner, everyone gradually dispersed as if they had heard a joke.

The sky turned completely dark.

The last people left in Lvxiao's tent were Shang Ruyi and Shi Yuxin. Before leaving, the military doctor reminded them carefully that the cut on Lvxiao's wrist was so deep that the bone was exposed, and she had lost too much blood. Although she was still alive, she still needed to rest. If she was fine tonight, her life would be saved.

So Shang Ruyi stayed in the tent to guard her.

Maybe it was because of the overly strong smell of blood in the tent, but Shang Ruyi not only felt a little suffocated, but even though the surroundings had quieted down, her heart was still restless. Sitting at the end of the bed, looking at Lu Xiao's face which had almost lost its charm and was only pale, she felt a pain in her heart and her body couldn't stop shaking in her clothes.

But Shi Yuxin was sitting next to him. In order to maintain the dignity of the Princess of Qin, Shang Ruyi tried his best not to let her see his emotions, so much so that his hands were twisted together, and his fingertips left several bloody scratches on the back of his hands.

Immediately, she felt Shi Yuxin's gaze move from Lu Xiao's pale face to her red hands.

Shang Ruyi forced a smile as if to hide it and said, "Thank you very much."

Shi Yuxin glanced at her calmly: "No need to thank me. My brother was captured by your people, and we need some money to save him. You, the Princess of Qin, are naturally the most valuable, and she——"

As she spoke, her gaze fell on Lu Xiao's face again.

"better than nothing."

For some reason, although what she said was true, these four words were like a huge rock pressing down on Shang Ruyi's heart. She even felt that Lu Xiao, who was lying on the bed, seemed to breathe heavier.

Something is better than nothing... Isn't this the only description of Lu Xiao's current situation?
Shang Ruyi glanced at her bloodless lips again, sighed, and then said: "Even though you said that, I still thank you on her behalf."

"..."

"If it weren't for you, the doctor might not be willing to be so attentive."

Shi Yuxin curled the corners of her lips, indicating that she had heard it but did not appreciate it.

Shang Ruyi also knew that she was just worried about her brother's safety, so what she said just now was not polite; but what she said to Shi Yuxin was not entirely perfunctory flattery - Lu Xiao followed her to leave Chang'an, came to this place, met her Xiao Lang, and got her "result", which could be regarded as asking for benevolence, but because she brought her here, Shang Ruyi always felt a sense of responsibility.

Brought her here alive, and it would be best if she could leave alive as well.

However, with every breath, the bloody smell lingering at the tip of his nose kept drilling into his body, like a ghost that could not be escaped in the dark night, making Shang Ruyi always feel a little trembling and uneasy.

As if to calm himself, Shang Ruyi said to Shi Yuxin: "In fact, she is a very smart and tenacious person."

"Oh?"

"She suffered a lot over the years, but she never gave up."

"Oh." "This time, it must have been a moment of confusion."

"..."

Shi Yuxin looked back at the quiet tent door, then looked at Lu Xiao, and said, "It's stupid."

After she finished speaking, I don’t know whether she couldn’t stand the strong smell of blood in the tent or Shang Ruyi’s nagging, she stood up and said: “It’s getting late, I’m going to go back and rest. You - if you want to stay here to watch over her, you can do as you please.”

Shang Ruyi nodded: "Thank you."

Shi Yuxin waved her hand lightly, turned around and walked out.

As soon as she left, the tent became completely quiet.

But Shang Ruyi's heart was in turmoil. She slowly loosened her hands, and in her palms was clenched the piece of paper that put Lu Xiao to death. She didn't know whether Shi Yuxin had seen it or not, but no matter whether she had seen it or not, the matter was already before her. With her intelligence, it was impossible for her not to guess why Lu Xiao had ended up like this.

Just now, the tent was opened by many people, including busy military doctors, soldiers watching the fun, and Shi Yuxin herself who came to check the results. But from beginning to end, Xiao Yuansui never stepped into the tent.

He knew that these two lines of poetry, the word "liuying", would cost Lu Xiao her life.

He wanted her life.

He wants her to die!

Lu Xiao was indeed foolish to die for these two lines of poetry and for the word "Liu Ying".

Under normal circumstances, Shang Ruyi would be angry before she felt compassion for such a foolish person. But she would not be angry at Xiao Yuansui, but at Lu Xiao's foolishness. But now, with the strong smell of blood in her nose and the pale face that had lost all its beauty reflected in her eyes, she felt only sadness.

"Confused..."

She murmured, "Why are you really so confused?"

For a man who had ignored her for many years and wanted to kill her as soon as they met, she actually didn't even want her life.

Lu Xiao was born as a dancer. Since her debut, she has been moving around various men like a prostitute. Even around a vicious man like Wang Shaoji, she can protect herself. She can even protect others and help Shang Ruyi while protecting herself. This shows how well she understands men and how well she knows how to deal with men.

Such a smart woman, yet she is so stubborn and stupid in love with Xiao Yuansui. She has lost all her former intelligence and alertness.

Or does it mean that when a woman falls in love with someone, she will become stupid?
Shang Ruyi couldn't help but think back to her past self. Was she like this after falling in love with Yuwen Ye?
Do others think you are so stupid?
Just when Shang Ruyi's mind was in a mess and she even crumpled the already crumpled paper into a ball, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the tent and stopped at the door. She instinctively became alert and stared at the tent with wide eyes.

Is it Xiao Yuansui?
Has he come to see Lu Xiao?

But the next moment, a strange voice made her lose her temper: "Princess Qin, are you there?"

I came here to find myself.

Shang Ruyi sighed softly, and was a little confused. He didn't know who would come to see him in Xiao Yuansui's camp. He just whispered, "I'm here. Who?"
