The General's Little Peasant Wife

Translator: Vesper

These few days, Xiao Qi Tian never woke up at all. Not only did he not wake up, his breath was also gradually weakening. The imperial doctors weren’t even able to feed him medicine anymore. Now they were basically pouring the medicine into his mouth.

When the people in the room heard what Xiao Qi Feng said, nobody even dared to let out a single breath fearing that they would wake the little Heir up, who was sleeping soundly on the bed.

Mu Xue stood at the door, who was hesitant for a long time before finally deciding to walk over to the bed. She could not help but cover her mouth when she saw the arrow sticking out of Xiao Qi Tian’s quilt.

Since the accident that day, it was the first time that she saw Xiao Qi Tian. She did not expect him to be in this condition even after such a long time.

The only difference was that the arrow had been partially cut off.

Xiao Qi Feng glanced at Mu Xue, a hint of disgust flickered in his eyes.

“Quickly find a solution. Do not give me the chance to kill you all.” Xiao Qi Feng said coldly and cruelly.

When everyone heard him, they immediately understood what he meant. They quickly began to get busy. They would be the ones to die if this continued.

After more than an hour, the child suddenly cried loudly. Everyone subconsciously turned their heads to the child, fearing that the Emperor would do something to the young Heir. But what happened next surprised them all. Xiao Qi Feng actually carried the child.

“Pass him to his Nanny.” Xiao Qi Feng said as he handed the child to Mu Xue.

Mu Xue did not dare to refute, she quickly took over the child and went out. She indeed felt a bit bitter in her heart. From his words, did he mean that he did not trust her at all? Was that why he would rather let the Nanny take care of the child than her?

Mu Xue did not know what he truly meant. After handing over the child to the Nanny, she did not enter the house. Instead she stood outside and stared at the blossoming flowers.

The guilt she felt these days was driving her to madness. When she saw Xiao Qi Tian in such condition just now, she covered her face in extreme guilt.

This time, Mu Xue really understood what Mu Chen and the others had said about her. All of this had happened because of her. ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m

Yes, they were right. It was her brother’s personal life. Why did she have to intervene?

When the uncles came to know what Mu Xue had done, they got very angry and left the Xiao Empire. They not only ignored her but left without saying a single word to her.

If Xiao Qi Tian had not blocked the three arrows, then probably her brother would have been dead.

The two uncles were probably angry because of this, which was why they ignored Mu Xue.

“Princess, are you okay?” Mu Xue’s maid looked at her very worriedly.

Truthfully, they also disapproved of what Mu Xue had done. They even felt disgusted by it. However, they also felt pity, looking at Mu Xue’s sad figure.

“Chun Ya, Qi Tian will be alright, right?” Mu Xue looked at her maid beggingly.

She really did not know what to do anymore if something really happened to Xiao Qi Tian.

“Princess, erm...” Chun Ya was helpless, she did not know how to answer Mu Xue.

Chun Ya’s hesitation made Mu Xue’s face even paler. She took a step back, covered her eyes, and started crying.

She regretted it now. She did not want those things anymore. As long as he recovered, she would listen to whatever he said.

This time Mu Xue was really scared. She couldn’t see Xiao Qi Tian every day nor feel his love and warmth anymore. Mu Xue noticed that her world suddenly seemed to have completely collapsed. She didn’t even know how to continue living anymore.

Time slowly passed by. The imperial doctors in the palace were constantly busy. Beads of sweat kept falling from their faces as the minutes ticked by. They all knew that if the situation did not improve, they would really have to prepare for Prince Qi’s death.

Xiao Qi Feng also became more tense as time went by. He could feel that Xiao Qi Tian’s breath was becoming much weaker. If this went on, the only thing waiting for him was his brother’s death.

Two days passed quickly. In the morning of the second day, Xiao Qi Feng moped towards the palace. He looked at the disappointed faces of the imperial doctors inside the room.

“Two days have passed...”

“His breathing has finally caught up.”
