"No Wedding Unless Enemies and Lovers" 《不是冤家不拜堂》Chapter 205

 Yi Yun: Ji Ling Xue, this gift of mine, you need to enjoy it!

Xiao Yi Chen's gaze was fixed on Ji Ling Xue, he never noticed the smile on Yi Yun's lips, of course he knew Yi Yun wasn't virtuous, what's more there were doubts over Ji Yu Qing's death, Yi Yun was on the list of suspects.

Only he didn't sense there was anything wrong with the porcelain dolls, he took the porcelain doll from Ji Ling Xue's hand, Xiao Yi Chen said: "This doll is pretty good, we must have children as cute as these in the future."

Xiao Yi Chen beamed at Ji Ling Xue, his gaze also said: Wait until we have pacified the country, then branch out the imperial family, the important responsibility of having children with us will be given to the empress!

Ji Ling Xue's lips twitched, looking elsewhere, she pretended to have seen nothing.

Suddenly remembering Yi Yun, Ji Ling Xue turned to look behind her, the guard of honours behind hand drowned out Yi Yun, only the little yellow flower on the top of her head could be seen.

"What are you looking at?" Xiao Yi Chen's voice entered her ears.

Ji Ling Xue smiled shaking her head, "Nothing." She only felt Yi Yun was rather strange today...

The procession made its way around the city, only when the sun was about to set did they return to the palace, Ji Ling Xue said: "Why didn't I see Ru Ge?"

Didn't Xiao Yi Chen say he hadn't left yet, on such a joyous day she hadn't seen him, she felt a bit empty.

Xiao Yi Chen turned to ask the personal eunuch next to him, the eunuch said a few words into Xiao Yi Chen's ear, Xiao yi Chen's expression turned grave.

Ji Ling Xue turned to Xiao Yi Chen, waiting for his response.

Xiao Yi Chen said: "Ru Ge is at the cold palace, he fought Yuchi Gong Ru for an entire night and day..."

The last trace of smile on Ji Ling Xue's lips disappeared, worry filled her eyes, "Yuchi Gong Ru...how did I forget about him...he had suffered so much by my hands, he definitely wouldn't let me off, the best day to make a move was today, this is the day I looked forward to the most, he would of course make a scene, how could I forget him, how is Ru Ge right now, let's go see straightaway if he's alright?"

Ji Ling Xue tightly held Xiao Yi Chen's arm, because she was nervous, she was unconsciously quite strong.

Xiao Yi Chen stared into Ji Ling Xue's eyes, for some reason, his heart felt painful right now.

Xiao Yi Chen: Ji Ling Xue, have you worried like this for me before? Your nervousness towards Ru Ge, makes me rather jealous.

Ji Ling Xue turned to order: "Someone come, take the sedan to the cold palace!"

Xiao Yi Chen held Ji Ling Xue's arm: "It'll be quite slow by sedan, let's use light martial arts!" Having spoken he stood up, with a tug of his hand, Ji Ling Xue was in his arms, with a bit of light martial arts, they flew off along the rooftop while the surrounding maids and eunuchs gaped in awe.

Ji Ling Xue turned to look at Xiao Yi Chen holding her, under the sunset Xiao Yi Chen's face was rather grave and stern, was it because he was worried about Ru Ge?

As they approached the cold palace, the smell of blood in the air got stronger, but it was strangely quiet, there were no sounds of weapons clashing, no sound of words, it was so quiet the sound of leaves falling on the ground could be heard.

Ji Ling Xue's heart was uneasy, finally she saw the imperial guards outside the cold palace kneel in greetings towards Xiao Yi Chen and Ji Ling Xue, Xiao Yi Chen landed on the ground with her in his arms gently like a butterfly.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, Ji Ling Xue hurriedly pushed Xiao Yi Chen away and lifted her skirt rushing into the cold palace, Xiao Yi Chen reached out to stop her, but he was a moment too late, Ji Ling Xue's skirt brushed past his fingertips, a bitter smile on his face.

"Pff!" It was the sound of flesh being pierced, blood splattered everywhere, Ru Ge's body flew through the air and onto the ground, he rather tiredly moved his eyes, the sunset beaming into his eyes was glaring, so tired, he really wanted to sleep.

He didn't know with this sleep, would he open his eyes again, could he still see the person he wanted, even if it's just once...

"Ru Ge...Ru Ge...how are you?" Familiar and illusionary voice entered his ears, Ru Ge opened his eyes wide, Ji Ling Xue ran over to him in her phoenix robe, the fiery sunset dyed half the sky red, wearing the red phoenix robe, it was a beautiful dream, the gold phoenix crown on her head sparkled under the sunset.

Was this a dream? It was her most important day today, she ought to be holding Xiao Yi Chen's hand sitting on the phoenix sedan taking a trip around the city, receiving the reverence of the common people.

"Ru Ge...Ru Ge...?" The closer the voice, the clearer the person became, Ru Ge could clearly count the eyelashes on Ji Ling Xue's face.

Ru Ge swallowed, that was when he realised he hadn't had any water for a night and day, now his throat was dry, he actually couldn't make a single sound.

Ji Ling Xue, I can see you, I'm very happy, thank you for still remembering me.

Ji Ling Xue held Ru Ge's body, patting his face: "Ru Ge, Ru Ge, can you hear me? Why are you bleeding so much, I won't let you die..."

Ru Ge grinned, coarsely saying: "Nothing, it's normal amount of blood...what fight doesn't have blood..."

No matter what he said Ji Ling Xue couldn't smile, Ru Ge had thought with his life with Yuchi Gong Ru because of her, that's why he would be so badly wounded.

"How are you, where are you hurt, let me treat your wounds..." As she spoke she checked Ru Ge's wounds with a fluster, out of the corner of her eye she saw Yuchi Gong Ru covered in blood stand up holding a broken sword, a wolf like shine in his eyes.

Yuchi Gong Ru: "I didn't think Donqi's empress would come to, I really underestimated you, you also care so much about..." He burst out into laughter, he licked the blood from the corner of his lip.

Ji Ling Xue frowned with disgust, randomly picking up a broken blade from the ground thrusting it towards Yuchi Gong Ru, she only hated that her empress robe was very heavy today, she didn't have any self-defence poison powder on her, otherwise with just a packet of poison, Yuchi Gong Ru might not die but he would barely be alive.

Yuchi Gong Ru's smile held evilness, he used the broken sword in his hand to block Ji Ling Xue's broken blade, the other hand he turned them into a claw and reached for Ji Ling Xue's throat, as long as he has her as a hostage, it wouldn't be difficult for him to leave the palace, both him and Ru Ge had suffered, no one had gained.

Yuchi Gong Ru calculated the best move but he underestimated Ru Ge and Xiao Yi Chen who had followed after Ji Ling Xue, "Pff, pff!" His fingers hadn't even touched Ji Ling Xue's neck, Ru Ge smacked his chest, and from behind Xiao Yi Chen took the sword from the waist of an imperial guard at the door and threw it at his back, the long blade pierced through his body, knocking Ru Ge flying into the air.

While Ru Ge was flying his smile gradually faded, his eyes gradually closed, he was too tired, just now that smack had used up most of his strength.

"Ru Ge!" Ji Ling Xue's shout seemed far away, he couldn't hear her clearly.

Yuchi Gong Ru knelt onto the ground like a salted fish, a pool of red blood announced the end of his life.

Xiao Yi Chen held Ji Ling Xue's tottering body, "Xue Er, are you alright?" His voice was gentle, afraid if he was louder she would be scared.

Ji Ling Xue's fingers couldn't stop trembling, they were covered with ghastly blood, her gaze constantly on Ru Ge lying not far away, they were only five steps away, however she didn't even have the energy to walk over.

"Ru Ge...is he dead?" She turned her head to look at Xiao Yi Chen, her cheeks already streaming with tears.

Just now he had done all he could to protect her, he had collapsed from saving her...why did her heart feel extremely painful...

Xiao Yi Chen stabled Ji Ling Xue: "Wait, I'll take a look."

Ji Ling Xue looked at her hands dyed with blood, hurriedly nodding, "Call for an imperial doctor, call for Bai Mo, save him..."

Xiao Yi Chen nodded, "We just gave the order, wait, they'll arrive soon." Having spoken he walked to Ru Ge and stooped down to use his finger to check his breathing, his breathing was very weak, fortunately there was breathing.

Xiao Yi Chen hurriedly struck Ru Ge's acupuncture points, "He's still breathing!" Whether he would still be breathing in a moment would depend on his luck!

Ji Ling Xue finally relaxed her tense body, she fell backwards fainting, being caught by Xiao Yi Chen quick reactions.

Bai Mo flew in using light martial arts carrying a medicine box, seeing the bloody scene before him, he shook his head, turning to Xiao Yi Chen who was holding Ji Ling Xue he asked: "Who should I treat first?"

He couldn't tell which of the two people lying in pools of blood were alive or dead, he could however see Xiao Yi Chen was frowning hard, Ji Ling Xue in his arms also didn't seem to be doing well, how did such an amazing crowning ceremony become so bloody.

"Check the empress." Xiao Yi Chen opened his mouth, everyone was selfish, to him Ji Ling Xue was the most important.

Bai Mo nodded, immediately taking Ji Ling Xue's pulse, luckily the imperial doctor also very quickly arrived, Ru Ge was also treated.

The imperial doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead as he walked to Xiao Yi Chen, "Your majesty...this isn't looking good...that person has suffered a lot of fractures...his breathing is very weak..."

Xiao Yi Chen didn't even turn his head: "Try your best."

The imperial doctor accepted, turning he ordered someone to bring a stretcher, first find a place for Ru Ge to be re-treated.

Bai Mo cupped his hands: "Congratulations your majesty, empress is pregnant!"

Xiao Yi Chen nodded, picking Ji Ling Xue up he turned around and returned to Chenhua palace, the moment he turned, a light smile appeared on his face, his long awaited wish had finally come true.

Bai Mo followed Xiao Yi Chen's back with his eyes thinking to himself: "I haven't finished speaking, how can he walk off in such a hurry, it's true the empress is pregnant, but it's only been a while, someone has fed her abortion medicine, the baby may not be able to survive..."

The imperial doctor passed Bai Mo, cupping his hands: "Miracle doctor Bai Mo, you need to do your hardest to keep the baby..." It was rare for the emperor to be so happy.

Bai Mo nodded, that's when he noticed Ru Ge who was being carried, he was rather curious, he stepped forward taking his pulse, the imperial doctors sighed: "This person is seriously injured, even if he survives he'll be a handicapped person, the rest of his life he'll be laying in bed..."

Bai Mo nodded, taking out a pill from his sleeve he stuffed it into Ru Ge's mouth, the huanhun grass last time from Xiao Yi Chen, he had refined it into two pills, he didn't know the effects but give it to Ru Ge first.

The imperial doctor didn't understand asking: "Miracle doctor Bai Mo, what did you feed him?"

Bai Mo gave an oh: "A strong cultivating pill." After speaking he waved his sleeve following after Xiao Yi Chen.

The imperial doctor stroked his beard in thought looking at Ru Ge covered in blood, he should put in some effort on the person his majesty asked him to save, he needed to give him a round of acupuncture to improve his blood circulation then bind his wounds, using all the medical knowledge he had learnt.
