Chapter 1191 I Killed Someone Again
“You can have your own little schemes, and you can seek some reasonable benefits for your families.”
"But all of this must be based on one premise!"
"That is absolute loyalty!"
"Loyal to my Great Qian!"
"Loyal to me! Loyal to the Prince!"
"Anyone who dares to cross this line!"
"Anyone who dares to do anything that harms the country or the interests of the people!"
"What happened to Zhang Heng, Li Mao, and Wang Chong today will be what happens to you tomorrow!"
"have you understood?!"
"We...understand!"
All the officials responded in unison once again, their voices more unified and more convinced than ever before.
They knew that from this day forward, the court of the Great Qian Dynasty was truly about to undergo a major upheaval.
A new era, truly led by this iron-fisted empress, has arrived.
……
After leaving the court.
Murong Yan did not return to Qifeng Pavilion.
Instead, they went directly to the secret workshop where Lin Zhen was.
She doesn't want to leave that man for even a second now.
Even just quietly watching his pale sleeping face would make her content.
When she pushed open the workshop door.
Elizabeth was sitting by Lin Zhen's bedside, holding a warm towel in her hand, carefully wiping his cheeks.
Her movements were very light and gentle.
Those blue eyes, usually filled with aggression and wildness, were now filled with an unprecedented tenderness and heartache.
Murong Yan paused slightly as she looked at the scene before her.
A faint sour feeling, which she herself was unaware of, quietly rose from the bottom of her heart.
She knew she shouldn't have these feelings.
Elizabeth did this to repay Lin Zhen for saving her life.
Moreover, she is now nominally her own "maid".
It was only natural for her to take care of Lin Zhen.
But she just couldn't control her heart.
She simply couldn't stand any woman looking at her man with those eyes.
No matter how beautiful or outstanding that woman is, it won't work.
"Cough cough."
She deliberately coughed lightly twice.
Elizabeth froze upon hearing the sound.
She turned her head abruptly and saw Murong Yan. A fleeting hint of panic and embarrassment flashed across her beautiful face.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
She quickly stood up and bowed slightly to Murong Yan.
"How did you come?"
"Why can't I come?" Murong Yan walked to the bedside, glanced at the man on the bed who was still unconscious, and said in a flat voice, revealing no emotion. "This is my husband lying here."
She deliberately emphasized the words "my husband".
The powerful, unassailable possessiveness emanating from the mistress instantly made Elizabeth feel a strange pressure.
"I...I didn't mean that..." Elizabeth explained somewhat awkwardly, "I just...I was just worried because His Highness hasn't woken up yet..."
"Thank you for your trouble," Murong Yan said calmly, "but from now on, it's not necessary."
"I will take care of my man myself."
As she spoke, she naturally took the warm towel from Elizabeth's hand.
Then she sat on the edge of the bed and began to wipe Lin Zhen's handsome face with a touch a hundred times gentler and more careful than Elizabeth's.
Her focused and affectionate expression suggested that her entire world consisted only of the man in her bed.
As Elizabeth watched this scene unfold, a complex mix of envy, jealousy, and deep disappointment flashed in her blue eyes.
She knew she lost.
A crushing defeat.
She might become the most powerful pirate queen on this sea.
But she could never be like the woman in front of her.
To have a man who makes her willingly set aside all her pride and dignity to love and be loved wholeheartedly.
She took a deep breath and slowly left the room, which was both warm and suffocating.
She knew this room didn't belong to her.
This is their world.
No third party has the right or ability to set foot in the area.
And just as Elizabeth turned to leave...
The man on the bed, who had been unconscious, suddenly twitched his fingers slightly.
……
Murong Yan was focused on wiping Lin Zhen's palms, completely unaware of his subtle movements.
She wiped it very carefully and diligently.
It was as if it were not a hand, but the most precious and fragile porcelain in the world.
She gently wiped every line on his palm with that warm towel again and again.
It was as if this could awaken him from that boundless darkness.
"Husband," she said softly as she wiped him, just like they always did.
"I killed someone again at the morning court session today."
"Three heinous corrupt officials were killed."
“Those old fogies were scared out of their wits by me. They all became as docile as quails.”
"Did you see that? I can keep them in check even without you."
"So, you don't need to worry about me, and you don't need to be so tired."
"Please wake up soon, okay?"
"Wake up, look at me, look at the land I've protected for you."
"Wake up and talk to me."
"I...I really, really miss you..."
As she spoke, her eyes welled up with tears again.
Large tears rolled uncontrollably down her beautiful phoenix eyes.
at this time.
A warm, strong hand suddenly and gently covered her small, cold hand that was wiping his palm.
Murong Yan's body suddenly stiffened!
She suddenly looked up!
She met a pair of deep eyes that she knew all too well, eyes that were full of tenderness, doting affection, and endless love!
He is awake!
He really woke up!
"Silly girl,"
Lin Zhen looked at her beautiful face, which was streaked with tears and looked like a pear blossom in the rain, and a weak yet incredibly gentle smile appeared on his face.
His voice was hoarse, like two scrap metal pieces rubbing together.
Yet it possesses a magical quality that brings peace of mind.
"Why are you crying?"
"But I've woken up, haven't I?"
In that instant, Murong Yan felt that her heart, which had been tormented by sorrow and despair and riddled with holes, had finally come back to life once again.
An immense, indescribable ecstasy overwhelmed her completely in an instant, like a flood bursting its banks!
"Husband!"
She could no longer control herself, and suddenly threw herself into his arms, bursting into tears.
This time, her cries no longer contained sadness and despair.
Instead, it was filled with endless joy and happiness from losing something and then getting it back!
"I...I thought...I thought you would never wake up again..."
Like a child who has suffered a great injustice, she rambled on incoherently, venting all the fear and anxiety she had accumulated over the past few days.
"fool."
