She said every word like a sharp knife piercing Xu Jingxuan's heart. He whispered, "I didn't, I just..."
"You just want to help me?" Lou Si interrupted his words and coldly mocked: "If you really want to help me, you wouldn't have traded me for wealth and honor."
Xu Jingxuan's face turned even worse, but he couldn't find a word to refute.
Lou Si didn't want to continue talking to him either. She casually tidied up her clothes and stood up, her steps stumbled as she walked out.
"Si Si," Xu Jingxuan subconsciously reached out to support her, and his tone was full of concern.
Lou Si's breathing was still hurried, and her face was not normal. She turned to look at him, "If you want to go ahead, just do it. I can't refuse you now anyway, but I'll definitely kill myself in front of you when I recover. If you don't want to, then get out."
Xu Jingxuan's hand holding hers froze.
Lou Si just watched him like this. Seeing that he didn't make a move, she turned around, stumbled and walked out the door.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Wanxiang was startled by her, and quickly stepped forward to support her.
Chu Wei heard the sound and walked over quickly. When he saw Lou Si's appearance, his eyes turned red instantly. He drew his long sword to rush in and kill Xu Jingxuan.
Lou Si grabbed his hand and shook her head at him. Her voice was weak, "Go back."
Chu Wei gave Xu Jingxuan a cold look, handed the sword to Wanxiang, took off his outer robe and draped it over Lou Si, then held her in his arms as they descended the stairs.
Until the footsteps disappeared at the door, Xu Jingxuan painfully closed his eyes.
After getting on the carriage, Lou Si took out a bottle from her bosom, opened it and smelled it under her nose. The dry heat on her body and the unusual redness on her face disappeared instantly.
This time, the malice inside her body almost took control, which means she should reduce such activities in the future.
However, Xu Jingxuan has been hooked, which is also a good thing.
Chu Wei remained silent, using a handkerchief to wipe away Lou Si's swollen lips. He had already decided to kill Xu Jingxuan that night.
Lou Si had been living with him for so long that she knew what he was thinking. She withdrew her thoughts, smiling and holding his hand.
"You're jealous, aren't you?"
Chu Wei looked down without speaking, but his clenched fist already betrayed him.
Lou Si was amused by his appearance and rubbed his head, coaxing, "Don't worry. No matter how many people are around me in the future, my love is you."
Upon hearing this, Chu Wei's expression softened somewhat. He leaned his head against Lou Si's lap, wrapped his arms around her waist, and said in a muffled voice, "Don't lie to me."
"If I lie to you, let me be..." Lou Si didn't finish her sentence before Chu Wei reached out to cover her mouth.
"No need to swear. I believe you."
Lou Si smiled, rubbing his head, "The well-behaved child is really cute."
Suddenly, she remembered something and looked out the window of the carriage, staring in the direction of the Heavenly Fragrance Building, with a smile on her lips.
"Ai Wei, please check in a while. See how many troops Xu Jingxuan has in his hand, and who among the court officials he is close to."
"Okay."
Lou Si thought for a moment, and added, "When you check, please also spread the news about today's encounter with Xu Jingxuan in the palace. Also, include the fact that I came out of the room in disheveled clothes."
Chu Wei thought she wanted to use Lou Zheng's hand to take revenge, nodding, "Alright."
There was no further conversation after that.
After returning to the general's residence, Lou Si led the people straight to the courtyard of Lou Yao.
As soon as she entered, she saw Xiao Reng sitting by the bedside with a death grip on Lou Yao's hand, his eyes bloodshot and terrifying.
Auntie Xiao and Xiao Reng's mother, Lady Liu, were sitting nearby, quietly crying.
Lou Si smiled, looking innocent and said, "Are you guys mourning for someone?"
Xiao Reng and Auntie Xiao, as well as Lady Liu, all turned their heads at the sight of her. Lady Liu's face turned pale to the extreme.
"You slut, how dare you come over after poisoning someone."
"Shut up." Auntie Xiao scolded out loud. No matter what, Lou Si was a royal family member, and it was none of their business.
Lou Si's eyes narrowed dangerously, she glanced at Lady Liu, walked to the other side of Auntie Xiao and sat down, supporting her chin with one hand and watching them.
"Madam seems to have a lot of grievances against the imperial concubine."
Lady Liu gritted her teeth and looked at her angrily, pointing at Lou Si and saying, "Do you know how much they suffered as a couple to have this child? You have ruined all the years of hard work they put into it."
Seeing her not putting her in her place, Lou Si didn't have much patience either. She looked at Wanxiang.
Wanxiang understood and stepped forward, kicking Lady Liu to her knees in front of Lou Si and holding down her shoulders.
"Lou Si!" Xiao Reng shouted out, charging towards Lou Si in a few strides, grabbing her throat with one hand and staring at her fiercely.
Before he could charge, Chu Wei had already stood next to Lou Si, but she pulled him away.
Lou Si reached out to stroke the bulging veins on Xiao Reng's forehead, her expression filled with concern. "I haven't done anything yet, why are you so angry, dear? Look at your veins, it truly breaks my heart."
The tone may be gentle, but the eyes are as cold as ice, without any emotion.
"Lou Si, don't challenge my bottom line. If you make me angry, I don't mind dying along with you." Xiao Reng's grip on her hand was getting tighter and tighter.
At this moment, he truly wanted to kill Lou Si. Not only had she killed his child, but she had also allowed someone to harm his mother. He really wanted to kill her.
Feeling the increasing suffocation, Lou Si's eyes revealed a faint excitement.
"Dear Xiao, wanting to die with me, you're not qualified enough."
Xiao Reng still understood the implications of her words, and then a terrible scream sounded from behind him.
"Ahh!!!"
Hearing the scream of his own mother, Xiao Reng's face changed. He turned around to see Chu Wei, who had been hiding behind him, cutting off his mother's entire hand with a sword, which was the same hand he had pointed at Lou Si just now.
"Mother." Xiao Reng loosened his grip on Lou Si's neck and rushed over to his mother's side, picking her up and looking at her hand that was bleeding profusely. He shouted out in haste:
"Quickly, bring someone, quickly get a doctor."
A little servant turned to run out, but he fell straight to the ground as soon as he took a step.
Xiao Reng and Auntie Xiao subconsciously glanced at the servant. The servant had a long sword sticking out of his back, already dead.
Lou Si massaged her own neck, walked up to the servant, pulled out the long sword from his back, and walked slowly towards Xiao Reng and his mother.
Xiao Reng stood up and protected Lady Liu behind him, looking at Lou Si coldly.
"Lou Si, what do you really want to do."
Lou Si stood in front of him, looking at him without speaking, lost in thought.
Hearing the painful moaning of his mother, Xiao Reng had no interest in her anymore. He turned to go help his mother.
He had just turned around when Auntie Xiao jumped up from her chair: "Rui, be careful!"
Xiao Reng hadn't even had time to react when a sharp pain struck his back, followed by his chest. Looking down, he saw a bloodied sword tip sticking out of his chest.
Lou Si released the sword that had pierced his left shoulder, and kicked his knee with one foot, sending him kneeling on the ground.
She walked over to Xiao Reng in satisfaction, looking at him with an unbearably gentle smile, but her tone was particularly eerie.
"Xiao Reng, do you really think I would hesitate to kill you?"
Xiao Reng was still in shock, unable to believe that Lou Si would actually use a sword on him, and even pierce his shoulder. It was even more ruthless.
She says she loves me so much.
Why can she be so cruel to herself?
