ASTRP -Chapter 199 Madam Feng Was Killed by Chen Jinfeng

Shen Nan struggled nonstop. “What are you trying to do?!”

But he was far too weak now and had barely any strength left.

“The gu worms. I’m getting them out.”

Shen Nan struggled even harder, almost using both hands and feet.

“I don’t want that… I’ve raised them for months already… it’s almost done, almost done!”

“We can’t keep waiting. Once a person loses too much blood, they can’t be saved anymore.”

As she spoke, Feng Jingge pressed two fingers downward.

“Bear with it. It’s going to hurt.”

In that instant, Shen Nan felt as though he was about to be crushed to death.

But Feng Jingge quickly located the gu worms.

The worms seemed aware of the danger and started crawling elsewhere.

Feng Jingge immediately pushed upward from below, forcing the worms higher.

Shen Nan struggled and screamed.

“Someone… someone come!”

The attendant hurried inside and saw Feng Jingge pinning Shen Nan down with one elbow while pressing against his stomach with the other hand.

“Miss Feng… our prince’s body can’t withstand this…”

“What are you yelling for?”

“Can’t you see I’m trying to get the gu worms out?”

Shen Nan struggled even more violently.

“I did this for you… for you!”

“But I never asked you to do it for me.”

“On the contrary, having bugs inside my body terrifies me.”

“You can’t treat me like this…”

Shen Nan grabbed at Feng Jingge’s hand. “Let go of me… let go!”

“I did everything for your sake, so why are you treating me this way…”

“For my sake?”

“Even if you do something for someone else, you still have to see whether they accept it or not!”

“I admit determination is important sometimes, but what about your people?”

“If you die, what will happen to those who rely on you?”

As she spoke, Feng Jingge saw two gu worms escape from Shen Nan’s nose.

She immediately grabbed them and threw them to the ground. Shen Nan tried to save them.

Unfortunately, he could neither move properly nor see anything.

Feng Jingge stomped them flat with one foot.

The attendant A-Zan knelt down. “Your Highness… the gu worms… are gone.”

Shen Nan crawled up and pointed toward the source of the voice.

“You bastard!”

“You helped her bully me…”

“You’re bullying me because I can’t see, because my body’s too weak to resist!”

A-Zan was terrified.

“Your Highness… I just don’t want you to die… the imperial physicians said you wouldn’t last much longer…”

“If I die, wouldn’t that suit all of you perfectly?!”

Shen Nan then pointed at Feng Jingge. “You wish I’d die right now too, don’t you?”

“If I die, you’ll have nothing left to worry about.”

“No one will threaten you again, and you can happily be the Princess Consort beside your Regent Prince.”

Feng Jingge grabbed his hand. “You’re not calm right now, so I won’t argue with you.”

“But let me tell you this—if I ever find out you swallowed gu worms again…”

“For every worm you swallow, I’ll kill one.”

Because Feng Jingge understood clearly that if Shen Nan died, many mysteries would never be solved.

Many things could never be discussed.

They would never be able to stand on equal footing and confront each other properly.

Shen Nan was so angry that a flush rose to his face.

“You… you…”

Unable to catch his breath, Shen Nan rolled his eyes back and collapsed onto the bed.

Only then did Feng Jingge shout, “Call the imperial physicians! Hurry and call them! What are you still standing there for?”

“Do you really want to watch him die?!”

The attendants hurriedly ran to summon the physicians.

Based on her instincts, Feng Jingge felt that Shen Nan probably knew what the original owner meant about the truth behind her mother’s death.

That only strengthened her resolve to remove the gu worms from him.

Everyone else feared Shen Nan.

She did not.

Later, the imperial physicians said Shen Nan’s life was not in danger.

His body was simply far too depleted and needed careful nourishment and recovery.

Only then did Feng Jingge finally breathe a sigh of relief.

When she came out, she had intended to tell Xiao Jinghan everything.

But the moment she opened her mouth after seeing him, a sharp pain exploded inside her head.

Xiao Jinghan rushed over and held her. “Jingge, what’s wrong?”

He then grabbed an attendant. “Speak!”

“What did you people do to my princess consort?!”

Feng Jingge grabbed Xiao Jinghan’s sleeve.

“It wasn’t them… it’s my memories…”

Then the pain bent her double.

She could no longer care about anything else and clutched her head with both hands instead.

“Hiss… ah!”

More of the original owner’s memories were breaking free. Feng Jingge screamed in agony, almost rolling on the floor.

Xiao Jinghan shoved the attendant aside. “Get your imperial physicians over here!”

“I’m warning you—if anyone from Wu Xing Kingdom dares target my princess consort…”

“I’ll kill your ruler, Shen Nan!”

The attendants hurried away in panic to summon the physicians.

While the physicians examined Feng Jingge, Xiao Jinghan held tightly onto her hand the entire time.

Feng Jingge had already fallen unconscious.

But the physicians said her thoughts were extremely active, similar to dreaming.

Otherwise, there was nothing wrong with her.

Xiao Jinghan pressed his lips together, his expression so dark it could not get any darker.

Right now, he had to stay beside Feng Jingge.

Otherwise, he would have gone straight to Shen Nan to demand answers.

An attendant approached and asked, “Imperial Physician, is Miss Feng alright?”

The physician explained the rough situation. Hearing there was no danger, the attendant leaned closer and whispered something into the physician’s ear.

Xiao Jinghan was trained in martial arts, and his hearing was excellent—even better than Feng Jingge’s.

He caught several words.

Sacrifice. Soul. Summoning…

He immediately frowned.

Could Feng Jingge’s soul entering the original owner’s body have something to do with Wu Xing Kingdom?

Inside Feng Jingge’s mind, countless figures flashed past.

Her own memories, and the original owner’s.

This time, she saw everything clearly.

Why the original owner pretended to be foolish and useless.

At six years old, the original owner had seen her personal maid A-Xiu speaking with a man in black.

That was how she learned that her mother truly had been murdered by Chen Jinfeng.

She did not dare tell Feng Qianchen.

Because she feared Feng Qianchen would not believe her and that Chen Jinfeng might even accuse her in return.

And perhaps Feng Qianchen had known about it all along.

From then on, she began pretending to be stupid, pretending to be a useless good-for-nothing who knew nothing.

The maids around her betrayed her, and her father neither loved nor cared for her.

Even knowing her mother had been murdered, there was nothing she could do.

How helpless and heartbroken the original owner must have felt back then.

Even Feng Jingge, as an outsider learning the truth, felt a suffocating ache in her chest.

No wonder after meeting Shen Nan, the original owner agreed to his plan.

To overthrow Jing Kingdom.

Only by toppling Jing Kingdom would she have a chance to rise again, a chance to avenge her mother.

The scene shifted again, this time to Shen Nan.

Inside Wu Xing Kingdom, Shen Nan reached out to hold the original owner’s hand, but she immediately shook him off.

“Second Prince, please behave with propriety. I already have someone I like.”

Shen Nan frowned slightly. “You keep saying you like someone. Then who is it? Say it!”

After speaking, he moved closer and wrapped an arm around the original owner.

Compared to being kissed by her, it was obvious he wanted to kiss her instead, wanted to take control.

But the original owner shoved him away.

“I already said I have someone I like!”

“We’re only allies, not husband and wife!”

The original owner had already made it very clear that she did not like him.

But she could not reveal the person she truly loved.

And all she wanted was to live an ordinary life, far away from schemes and deception forever.
