Destined Marriage with Fragrance Chapter 150

Conclusion (Part 3)

Today, Murong Shu Qing got up very early, there was still two more days that she would be out of the palace, so what should come, should come quickly. Personally steeping a cup of long dan tea, Murong Shu Qing was standing by the side of the window, and she let the morning light s.h.i.+ne on her face, body and heart. It was very warm and made people think to go back to bed. Murong Shu Qing was fiddling with the tea leaves, and not in a hurry to drink it at all, the faint tea fragrance surrounded the area, and sept into her mind. These past two days, the weather was clear and warm, the pear flowers were already blossoming this early spring, the faint white and lovable stamens were blossoming strivingly. Even though there were not bright yet, but the spleens were working hard to unfold beautifully.

Murong Shu Qing slightly closed her eyes to enjoy the fragrance form the blossoming flowers, but the gate to the palace hall was softy opened, and a sweet-sounding man sound gently and smilingly asked: “Shu Qing, are you feeling better?” 

He finally came, so Murong Shu Qing turned around with a shallow smile, and said: “A lot better.”

Her vigor seemed to be very good today, her long hair was lightly rolled up, and they were flying because of the breeze. Her appearance that was immersing in the suns.h.i.+ne with her eyes close, was very beautiful, beautiful like a somewhat faint mist in the ink painting. Looking that she was carrying a cup of tea, he slowly walked over to sit in front of the round table, and Xuan Tian Cheng lightly waved his hand. Tong Fu put the medicine that was on his hand, on to the table, and bowed out of the palace hall.

Murong Shu Qing looked one glance at the dark medicine concoction that was on the table, she drank a lot of these medicine for the past few days. What was different was the person who delivered the medicine today, was the current Emperor. 

Sitting down next to Murong Shu Qing, Xuan Tian Cheng gently said: “Zhen knows that you do not like (staying) in the palace, you can go out very quickly.” He would let her live in a peaceful life and without any concern from now on. 

Murong Shu Qing lightly raised her eyebrows, and smilingly said: “Yes ah, there are still two more days.” But it looked like Xuan Tian Cheng wanted her to go out today. Taking the medicine concoction from the table, Murong Shu Qing looked at Xuan Tian Cheng with a shallow smile, and faintly

asked: “Is this the one that I have to drink?”

Xuan Tian Cheng also looked at the medicine concoction in front of him, as long as she continued drinking it, everything would be great. So nodding his head, Xuan Tian Cheng answered: “Yes, drink this and you will be a lot better quickly.”

Murong Shu Qing was stroking the bowl lightly, and looking at the black medicine concoction, it set off in contrast with the white jade bowl, and it radiated a deep and hidden waves. Perking up a trace of gorgeous smile, Murong Shu Qing softly said in a mumble: “You are really good to me.” After that, she drank all of the black medicine concoction in a mouthful, she could feel a spicy hot taste that was flowing down on her throat.

Xuan Tian Cheng was affected strongly by her smiling expression that he felt like he lost his soul, she had never smiled like this before. But he did not know why he suddenly felt panic-stricken. Looking at the empty bowl that she had on her hand, Xuan Tian Cheng’s restless mind appeared to be somewhat comforted. She would belong to him very soon.

Holding Murong Shu Qing’s hands, Xuan Tian Cheng lovingly asked: “Do you like the charming of the southern part or the greatness of the northern part?” He could take her to the famous mountains and great rivers, so she would like it.

Murong Shu Qing did not break free from his hands at all, and only smiled looking at him, her eyes showed a gentle radiance. Xuan Tian Cheng was in a better mood, it must be the effect of the meng xin cao gra.s.s, so in the future, she would have this kind of smile looking at him like this. Stroking Murong Shu Qing’s cheek lightly, Xuan Tian Cheng gently said: “Your calligraphy writing is very good, when you have time, we can practice writing calligraphy together.” 

Xuan Tian Cheng was deeply engrossed with Shu Qing’s peaceful and beauty, so he did not pay any attention that Shu Qing’s smile was more and more strenuous at all, until Murong Shu Qing’s complexion was somewhat pale. During this first spring season, her forehead was filled with a thin sweat, so Xuan Tian Cheng thought that something was wrong. Gently patting her face, he asked: “Shu Qing?! What is wrong?” Could the meng xin cao gra.s.s was harmful to a human body?!

Murong Shu Qing secretly and deeply breathed, she pressed down the burning and aching feeling in her thoracic cavity. Softly smilingly like before but it was somewhat difficult, so Murong Shu Qing lightly lifted her hand up to brush away Xuan

Xuan Tian Cheng’s slightly knitted eyebrows, and she faintly said: “You are not afraid that after I have drunk meng xin cao gra.s.s, I will forget him, forget you, and also forget myself even more. Until that time, when you have succeeded in your scheming, maybe I will only become someone who is not any different than a chicken.”

She knew! Then, why did she still want to drink it! Xuan Tian Cheng was shock listening to Murong Shu Qing’s statement, but what made him care about even more, was the word chicken. Holding Murong Shu Qing’s shoulders, Xuan Tian Cheng appeared to want to say gently, but he concealed what on his mind, and impatiently said: “You will not, you forget about him, and stay by my side obediently, I will love you, pamper you, like you, give you everything that you want it.”

What love!! Murong Shu Qing grabbed a tablecloth, even though she did not have any power to smile anymore, Murong Shu Qing still asked faintly: “Including freedom?”

Freedom?! What was this so-called her freedom, was it running from him?! Murong Shu Qing’s words completely enraged Xuan Tian Cheng. So he ignored the blue color that could be seen from Murong Shu Qing’s face and pale lips, and was shaking Murong Shu Qing’s shoulders, he frantically roared: “Why? Why must you run away from me? Why?”

His violence made Murong Shu Qing unable to endure her painful body anymore, so Murong Shu Qing only felt that a trace of blood slipped out of a corner of her own mouth. The dark red bloodstain was dripping one by one from her lips, the dripping fell on Xuan Tian Cheng’s hand, so he was awaken by the warm feeling that he felt on the back of his hand. Letting Murong Shu Qing to lean in his embrace, Xuan Tian Cheng asked in panic: “Shu Qing? Shu Qing, what is wrong with you?”

The blood did not stop at all, it was still constantly falling from the side of Murong Shu Qing’s lips, Xuan Tian Cheng felt for the first time that the blood in his own heart seemed to become ice-cold. While he was wiping the blood from the corners of Murong Shu Qing’s mouth, he sternly yelled: “Someone comes, someone comes, bring the Imperial physician!!”

Tong Fu who was ordered to stay and guard outside the palace hall to take some orders, suddenly heard Xuan Tian Cheng’s shouting, so he promptly entered the palace hall. He only saw that Murong Shu Qing was so pale and falling in to the Emperor’s embrace. The Emperor also had blood on his hands, and his complexion was no better

no better than Murong Shu Qing who was in his embrace, and his eyes were hysterical. Feeling scared, he hurriedly rushed out of the palace hall, and made someone to inform the Imperial physician to come. He did not understand what had happened, but he only knew that Murong Shu Qing must not die ah, otherwise….. he did not dare to imagine it.

How could it be like this? Xuan Tian Cheng hugged Murong Shu Qing’s body that was already cold. Her mind simply could not think, but he could only say continuously: “Shu Qing, you will not have any mishap, you will not!”

The Empress’ medicine was really powerful, Murong Shu Qing’s body felt powerless, the cold feeling seemed to make her feel like she was drowning, her thoracic cavity felt like it was burned down, but it actually was not as intense as a moment ago. Murong Shu Qing lowered her head to gasp some air, and exerted her strength to firmly grasp Xuan Tian Cheng’s hand, although it felt laborious, but she could still say this one sentence: “So, as it turns out, what you want is my life.”

Even though she knew that everything was done by the Empress, but since it turned into this today, Xuan Tian Cheng was the ultimate reason. Since he kept saying how much he loved her, in that case, she would just die in his hand, die in his embrace. She wanted for him not to forget that she died in his embrace for a lifetime. This should be the biggest punishment for him.

Xuan Tian Cheng tightly held her in his embrace, he painfully said: “No, Shu Qing, you can not die.” Her cold body and lukewarm blood temperature could burn people, and they were torturing his heart. He only knew that she could not die, could not die!

Murong Shu Qing lightly coughed, the dry fishy smell rushed forth continuously, it made Murong Shu Qing sprouted out a mouthful of blood on Xuan Tian Cheng’s chest. The dark red blood looked like a demon flower, it was broiling gaudily and strongly.

Murong Shu Qing softly pasted her lips by the side of Xuan Tian Cheng’s ear, she said using a weak and stammering voice: “You will never, ever get my heart, because, because you… do not deserve it.”

Did not deserve it….. Xuan Tian Cheng felt that his heart was being gouged out, so he painfully looked at the soft body that was already falling down. She only left him with a trace of shallow smile that looked like she was free, then she closed her eyes. No matter how much he shouted, how much he shook, she did shook, she did not respond anymore!

“No……” 

Tong Fu took the Imperial physicians to enter the palace hall, but only heard a suffering roar sound, all of the people were shock and distracted there, no one dared to step forward to disturb that monarch who was filled with suffering emotions.

Xuan Tian Cheng wanted to wipe the bloodstain from the corners of her mouth, but it seemed that he could not do it, the blood was still flowing and falling into his fingers. Tong Fu swallowed his saliva, and stepped forward one step in panic, he said with trembling voice: “Your Majesty, the Imperial physicians are here.”

Imperial physicians! Xuan Tian Cheng suddenly recovered, and roared to the Imperial physicians who were standing by the side of the door: “Quickly, look at her quickly, Zhen wants her to live. You must bring her to life!” She must be alright, must be alright.

The Imperial physicians had never seen the Emperor who was furious like this, once they got the order, they immediately encircled Murong Shu Qing and took her pulse. But the Emperor was not willing to let his hand go, and still holding her in his embrace. He wiped her blood continuously, and his mouth constantly was calling: “Shu Qing.” 

Several Imperial physicians took turn to feel her pulse one after another, everyone’s hand was practically shaking. They knew the person who was in the Emperor’s embrace, whatever happened between her and the Emperor earlier that made the Emperor feel hysterical like this. Speaking about her ident.i.ty alone, if they would guess, the Xuanyuan Yi and Qi’s family would not be willing to let this matter go.

After five Imperial physicians had examined her pulse, they looked one glance at each other, the five people were lowering their heads, and they retreated one step. Xuan Tian Cheng looked that they were standing at the side, but did not save the person, so he angrily said with a stern voice: “Save her, what are you all doing just standing there, save the person.”

The Emperor was furious, so the five people immediately kneeled down, it was not that they did not want to save her, but in reality, she was….. 

Looking that they still did not step forward, Xuan Tian Cheng faintly sensed something, tightly holding Murong Shu Qing in his embrace, Xuan Tian Cheng carried her gentle and asked them tremblingly: “What is wrong with her, you all need to say it!”

The five people looked one glance at each other, and finally, the head of Imperial physician, Imperial physician Lin lifted his head first, and carefully answered: “Miss Murong is extremely poisoned, and she does not have any….. pulse or breath!”
