Chapter 123 Still Protecting Rou Xiaosan

He wiped away my tears, "Fool, am I not dead yet?"

How could things be like this, I knelt and sat beside the bed, not knowing what to do?
"It's not an option to spend it like this, is it just waiting to die like this?"

"With you by my side, it's actually pretty good to wait for death." He still said he didn't care much.

I pushed him away fiercely, regardless of his poisonous body, and glared at him, "How can you not cherish yourself like this?"

He looked at me angry without saying a word, didn't explain, didn't persuade, just looked at me like this.

Suddenly, Xiaoxue's voice sounded outside the hall, "Empress, Empress Rou, please see me."

When he heard Concubine Rou, his expression was still normal. In my guess, I always thought that Concubine Rou had poisoned her. He refused to say that he was protecting her.
I've always thought so.

"Is that her?" I asked again.

He shook his head like he did several times before, "No."

He is still protecting her.

I twitched the corner of my mouth and smiled mockingly, "You are still protecting her, Nangong Chen, are you in love with her?"

Since I fell in love with another woman, why did I come to my side to seek comfort? Could it be that my kindness to him is destined to be eaten to death by him?
Although she was still annoyed at him, she couldn't help but see him die. Although she was still angry, she still couldn't stop crying when she saw him being poisoned.

"Empress, Concubine Rou said she has something important to do and she must see you." Xiaoxue's voice sounded again outside the door, and I replied in a low voice, "Understood, let her wait in the main hall."

With my back to Nangong Chen, my voice became colder, "I will find out, if she is, even if you protect her, I will not soften my heart."

"It's not her." Nangong Chen explained lightly from behind.

"Enough." I was very angry, damn it, no matter what time, he was still protecting Rou Xiaosan.

Taking a deep breath, I calmed down, "I will find out the truth of the matter."
