Chapter 295: Let her die alone
Chapter 295: Let her die alone
I could only let her die on her own, but I didn't expect her to be so lucky that she cured her high fever on her own.
This is the territory of the Western Country! Mu Ruixi's heart sank. How could the Western Country be like this?
According to the information she received, Zhou Zhewen was the new emperor of the Western Kingdom, but she learned from the crystal ball that Zhou Yanlin died in the lava in order to protect Princess Sumu.
"What am I doing here? How long have I been in bed?" Mu Ruixi was a little anxious.
She fainted and must have been brought here by someone. As for who it was, you don't have to guess, it was Lin Muwen.
Wasn't it just to seek death by sending her to this place? Lin Mu was really cruel and ruthless when he heard this!
"You've been in bed all day today. I prepared some porridge for you. Please take your time to eat it." The maid put the plate away and left. The head maid had instructed not to talk too much to Mu Ruixi. This was what she should say.
Mu Ruixi wanted to say a few more words, but she saw the maid had left the room.
Looking at the porridge and vegetables on the table, she gritted her teeth secretly. No matter how difficult the future would be, she would hold on to a glimmer of hope and avenge her children.
Thinking of this, Mu Ruixi picked up the food on the table and stuffed it into her mouth in big mouthfuls. It had no taste, like a candle, but what did it matter? She didn't want to die!
Although she knew that this was the Western Country and that it was a life-or-death situation, she still wanted to give it a try, even if there was still a glimmer of hope.
Mu Ruixi hadn't been exposed to water for a long time, and her lips had lost their former rosy color. Instead, they were covered with traces of dryness, making her look even more miserable than before.
Suddenly, there was a whisper outside. Mu Ruixi had very good hearing. Although the voice was very low, she still heard everyone's conversation.
"You know what? Prince Zhou has been dead for only two days."
"Of course. We are in the palace. Even if we don't know what's going on outside, it's impossible for us not to know what big thing has happened."
"Your Majesty said he would kill Prince Zhou and make him suffer a fate worse than death!"
"Who on earth could be so cruel? Our Prince Zhou, such a good man, is gone just like that?"
"I heard that he was burned to ashes by the lava."
"No wonder His Majesty is so angry. If it were me, I would not forgive the person who killed my brother. I would tear him into pieces."
"Of course, of course."
The sound became quieter and quieter, and it seemed that the maids were talking.
However, Mu Ruixi heard all the words. She thought she could run away, but she didn't expect that Zhou Zhewen would actually leave her in this damn place.
So, he didn't kill her, nor did he heal her, was he torturing her?
How would she survive then? How would she protect the child in her belly? How would she seek revenge?
Although Zhou Yanlin was not the one who killed her, she still had an unshirkable responsibility. As the saying goes, "I will not kill Boren, but Boren will die because of me."
It seems that Zhou Zhewen has already put the blame on her.
What should I do? Putting down the empty bowl in her hand, Mu Ruixi was completely stunned.
She couldn't hide, not to mention that the Western country was on high alert. With her current physical condition, she would have to gasp for breath just to walk.
A bleak smile appeared on Mu Ruixi's face. Lin Mu heard it! Why was he so persistent? Why? Even squeezing out all her usefulness?
Hand her over to Zhou Zhewen in exchange for friendly relations between the two countries?
He suddenly had a feeling that if she was left alone in the wilderness, she might have a chance to survive, but now, she had no hope.
At this moment, the door was suddenly kicked hard.
Mu Ruixi looked outside the door cautiously and saw Zhou Zhewen looking furious. She felt a little panicked. She was not sure what Zhou Zhewen would do to her, but she could not escape whatever Zhou Zhewen wanted to do to her.
The first time Zhou Zhewen saw Mu Ruixi, a hint of crazy hatred flashed in his eyes. He and Zhou Yanlin had been close friends since childhood, and he never thought that his brother would suddenly die.
Moreover, she was the culprit, how could he not hate her?
He swore that he would make that woman suffer the greatest torture and let her endure all the torture. Only in this way could his brother's soul rest in peace.
Mu Ruixi stood up, took a step back, looked at Zhou Zhewen, held her breath, and subconsciously covered her lower abdomen with her hands.
Zhou Zhewen stepped forward and grabbed Mu Ruixi's jaw. The anger in his eyes almost tore Mu Ruixi into pieces.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly let go of Mu Ruixi and threw her aside with force. "Don't worry, I will make you wish you could neither live nor die. I will make you wish you could neither live nor die!"
Mu Ruixi's chin was red, and there were marks of Zhou Zhewen's fingers, which showed how hard Zhou Zhewen's punch was.
Fortunately, she was not very close to the dining table, so when Zhou Zhewen fell, she did not fall down, but instead supported herself by holding on to the table and barely stood firm.
"Zhou Yanlin died in the lava because of Princess Sumu." Although she also understood that her words were not convincing, she had no other choice at this point. Even if it was useless, she would still give it a try.
At least let Zhou Zhewen understand that he did not intend to kill Zhou Yanlin, but it was an accident. Zhou Yanlin was killed because of Princess Sumu.
"Didn't Zhou Yanlin die in the lava? Do you understand?" Zhou Zhewen was stimulated by Mu Ruixi's words and did not consider Mu Ruixi's thoughts at all.
As Zhou Zhewen spoke, he stepped forward and grabbed Mu Ruixi's throat. "That's right! I won't let you die so easily. I will let you live slowly. Only when you die can you give Zhou Yanlin an explanation."
Mu Ruixi was grabbed by the neck by Zhou Zhewen and tried desperately to break free, but his hands were like a pair of steel pliers. Even with her current strength, he was unable to push her away.
Gradually, Mu Ruixi felt that she was almost out of breath, her mind began to blur, and her hands' movements became slow.
Suddenly, she felt very tired. Okay, let it go! She would rather die now than live. However, she felt that she owed the child in her belly.
The dog had been with her through so much hardship and had survived many times safely in her womb, but she could no longer protect her.
Zhou Zhewen was angry, but he didn't lose his mind. He wanted to keep Mu Ruixi and deal with her properly. How could he let her die like this? This was too easy for her.
When her fingers moved away from Mu Ruixi's neck, Mu Ruixi collapsed directly on the chair. She subconsciously took a deep breath, followed by a violent cough.
