Chapter 313: Keep Me Alive!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas StudiosSuddenly, a soldier came in. He sneered when he heard her curse.
“You still want people to die? I wonder who’s the one dying? Hmph!”
“You…”
Xue Ling wanted to glare and scold him, but she opened her mouth and could not say a word.
All the words seemed stuck in her throat, nearly choking her to death. She grew even more terrified when she saw the bowl of medicine in the soldier’s hand.
“No, don’t kill me.”
Is there poison in that bowl? Qian Jiyun can’t take it anymore and wants to kill me to empty my seat for An Jiuyue!
“Kill you?” The soldier sneered and looked at Xue Ling like she was an idiot. “Killing people like you will only dirty my hands!”
“You—”
Xue Ling was furious. She wanted to insult him but broke into coughing fits.
The soldier could not be bothered to talk to a woman like Xue Ling. He grabbed her chin and poured the medicine into her mouth.
“Mmph, mmph!”
Xue Ling wanted to refuse and shake her head, but she could not move and was forced to drink the medicine.
After pouring the medicine into Xue Ling’s mouth, the soldier threw her back onto the bed.
“Deputy General said that we can’t let you die so easily. This is medicine to treat the disease. You’ll recover after drinking it,” he said sinisterly.
“This is…” Xue Ling’s eyes lit up.
This is medicine for the disease? Does Qian Jiyun still have feelings for me and can’t bear to let me die? Did he treat me heartlessly just for An Jiuyue to see?
A flame of hope lit up in her eyes again.
“You bastards, let me go quickly! Otherwise, Brother Jiyun won’t let you off!”
If Qian Jiyun still had feelings for her, she would not be afraid of anything. She would not lose her life here. There would still be opportunities in the future!
The soldier almost laughed when he heard her words.
He had seen careless people, but never someone like her. She was already in this state, yet she continued hoping that the General would punish the soldiers for her.
He looked at Xue Ling mockingly and turned to leave. When he exited the tent, he looked at the soldier standing guard on his right.
“Keep an eye on her. That medicine is diluted. It won’t completely cure her. Her condition will probably worsen in a few days. Give her another bowl when she’s half-dead.
“The Deputy General said to let her suffer as long as she’s still alive!”
“Yes,” the soldier guarding the tent replied and glanced at Xue Ling.
Although Xue Ling was weak, she still had a keen sense of hearing. How could she not hear what they were saying?
“You… you all…”
So the medicine is only enough to keep me alive and not enough to cure me? I was delusional! Qian Jiyun no longer has any feelings for me, right?
“Qian Jiyun, what are you trying to do?”
She suddenly wondered how she could send her message out so easily.
Did they deliberately create an opening for me to send my message? Are they trying to find out who is backing me?
How dare Qian Jiyun use me like this? Is he trying to keep me alive so that he can capture us all in one fell swoop when that person comes to save me?
