FRGNM -Chapter 55 Revenge

The vases in the Crown Prince’s palace had almost all been smashed by her. Furious, she roared, throwing the blankets to the ground and stomping on them.

A single word from the imperial physician had condemned her to hell. She would never be able to conceive again. Luo Mingyu’s retaliatory attack had channeled purple-level Dou Qi into her body, directing all its force at her abdomen, damaging her organs. With the current medical level in Beining, there was no hope of treatment. And to make matters worse, she had offended Ling Ruoxi from Liuli Island—asking them for help to heal her was an impossibility.

The news of her infertility spread. She was despised by the palace eunuchs and maids. Even Nangong Mo, upon hearing the news, remained indifferent, merely sending her some supplements without asking further.

She had become nothing more than a decoration—and all of this was thanks to Ling Ruoxi, that wretched woman!

“Why… why does heaven do this to me?!” Ling Huiru cried helplessly, sitting on the floor, laughing bitterly as she clutched her abdomen. She would never bear the Crown Prince’s child—never be a mother…

The palace maids sighed helplessly, closing the doors and leaving, giving the temperamental Crown Princess space to vent.

“Want revenge?” A hoarse voice echoed. A figure in the dark stood by the window, calm and indifferent.

Ling Huiru laughed coldly, clutching her stomach. “Of course I want revenge! I dream of devouring her flesh, drinking her blood! You… can help me get revenge?”

“Revenge is yours to enact. I can only assist,” the figure said, lips curling faintly. Slowly, he stepped out of the shadows, clad in dark blue garments etched with ancient patterns. Half of his face was hidden behind a silver mask. On his right hand, a sleeve arrow was strapped, and beneath the sleeve rested a dagger radiating deadly sharpness. He seemed like a ghost or a demon.

Ling Huiru shivered, suddenly realizing there was someone else in the room. “Y-You… who are you?”

“You don’t need to know who I am. I only ask—do you want revenge?” The cold figure stepped forward, the sleeve-arrowed hand reaching toward her cheek.

The sharp weapon pressed against her neck. A gentle push forward, and her life would end instantly.

Cold sweat dripped down her face as she grabbed her clothes, trembling. “Yes! Of course I want revenge! That woman… that wretched woman ruined me, made me incapable of becoming a mother! I hate her! I want to kill her now!”

“Kill her? That’s too easy for her. I want her to suffer, unable to live and unable to die.” The man rose, a cold laugh rumbling. “Listen carefully. I will distract the Young Master of Qiongyu and Ling Ruoxi. You must seize the opportunity to take their children!”

“Their children? Those two little bastards… really the Young Master’s?” Ling Huiru’s face changed. The Young Master of Qiongyu was usually on Qiongyu Island—how could he suddenly appear in the Bamboo Sea?

She had tricked Ling Ruoxi, sending her into the Bamboo Sea with the beasts inside meant to devour her. But unexpectedly, it was the Young Master of Qiongyu!

The dark figure crossed his arms, voice cold. “She got lucky. The Young Master of Qiongyu was poisoned by the Hehuan Powder and forced into the Bamboo Sea. Ling Ruoxi happened to be there, becoming his antidote. But her body is fragile; her Dou Qi is sealed. She is destined to live as an ordinary person. Bearing twins, she nearly died in childbirth and lost the ability to conceive. If you take her two children, do you think she won’t suffer?”

“I see…” Ling Huiru frowned but understood. She looked up at the man, trembling. “Why… why are you telling me this? Who are you?”

“I can only tell you that I come from Beyond Heaven.” The dark blue figure suddenly vanished.

At the same moment, the palace door was flung open. Nangong Mo’s face was a stormy mix of blue and purple. “Had enough of your madness?”

“I… Your Highness…” Ling Huiru wiped her tears, slowly standing.

Nangong Mo frowned. “You injured the First Prince of Dongling. Now the Second Prince has arrived, demanding your presence. Come with me.”

“I… Your Highness…” Ling Huiru frowned. She knew Huangfu Xuan’s condition was nearly fatal, but with the Young Master of Qiongyu around, it might not be. She also wondered when she could seize the chance to take Ling Ruoxi’s two children.

When Ling Ruoxi opened her eyes and saw Luo Mingyu’s face, she instinctively screamed and kicked. The man who had saved her was sent tumbling off the bed, rolling down with the blankets.

Luo Mingyu’s lips twitched as he sat up and stared at her.

The person on the bed shivered, checked that her clothes were intact, and chuckled softly. “Sorry, Luo Mingyu… I misunderstood. Well, I’ll be going…”

“Stop!” Luo Mingyu blocked her path, his eyebrows raised sharply. “Didn’t I say? Call me Mingyu!”

“Mingyu… Mingyu… sounds awful. Fine, I’ll call you ‘Savior’ then! Bye!” Ling Ruoxi pushed past him, attempting to escape.

But her speed was no match for Luo Mingyu. With a casual step, he blocked the door. “That’s how you thank your savior?”

“Luo Mingyu! What do you want from me?” Ling Ruoxi groaned, clutching her hair, utterly defeated by this man.

“Remember what I said yesterday?” Luo Mingyu’s gaze pierced her.

She nodded helplessly. “I remember. You’re my man. My heart belongs to you alone…”

“Daddy Huangfu, over here…”

“Ha ha ha… Daddy Huangfu…”

“Is Huangfu Xuan okay?” Ling Ruoxi leaned toward the door to check outside, but Luo Mingyu blocked her view.

“Move aside, Luo Mingyu.” She pressed against the door, nearly on the floor.

Luo Mingyu’s face darkened, delivering a sharp slap to her behind. “You just said you only want me, and now…”

“I only see him as a bro! Besides, why not flirt with a handsome man? Mwah!” She kissed his cheek, and as Luo Mingyu froze, she seized the chance to push open the door and run outside.

“Ling Ruoxi!” His expression darkened to its limits, eyes deadly.

She ran down the corridor, holding Yizhui in one arm and Yimeng in the other, smiling faintly. “Huangfu Xuan, are you okay?”

“Miss Ruoxi.” Huangfu Xuan turned to look at her, nodding. He had thought he was doomed. He was about to leave his body when another force pulled him back. In his mind, he heard only her voice: “Keep going… don’t give up…”

He returned unexpectedly. The toxins in his body vanished, and his sealed Dou Qi flowed freely again. He no longer needed Dou Qi to suppress toxins. He was once again the high-ranking Blue Dou Qi Master he had been.

Confidence shone in his eyes. Ling Ruoxi hurried over, patting his shoulder. “Good, good. You’re back to normal! No more relying on medicine. Be the man you were meant to be!”

“When was I ever abnormal?” Huangfu Xuan smiled warmly. Unlike Luo Mingyu’s cunning smile, his was sunny and unforgettable. Even Ling Ruoxi was captivated, standing dumbly.

The little one in Huangfu Xuan’s arms waved at Ling Ruoxi. “Mom, what’s wrong? Yimeng thinks Daddy Huangfu is handsome. Yimeng likes Daddy Huangfu! Mom said when I grow up I can marry, can I marry you?”

“Cough…” Luo Mingyu, just outside the door, almost choked on his own saliva. His daughter… wanted to marry Huangfu Xuan when she grew up?

Huangfu Xuan laughed softly at the cute little girl. “Alright. When you grow up, if you don’t mind, Daddy Huangfu will marry you. Deal?”

“Ruoxi, she’s just a child. Can we take her words seriously? Yimeng will grow into a beauty. I, as her father, haven’t even said a word. Why rush?” Luo Mingyu’s jealousy flared. Not only did this man attract his woman, but now his daughter too!

“What’s the world coming to? I’m the handsome one here, yet my wife and daughter like such a delicate man!”

“Master knows she’s only a child, so I took her words lightly. I only don’t want her to be sad.” Huangfu Xuan smiled, inadvertently giving Luo Mingyu a mental slap.

Luo Mingyu’s teeth ground in irritation as he watched Huangfu Xuan hold his child and Ling Ruoxi in his arms. He now also had someone in his arms!

Ling Ruoxi could only laugh and cry at the same time, pinching Luo Mingyu’s waist while holding Yimeng gently. “Yimeng, why do you like Daddy Huangfu?”
