All Worlds Beg the Villainess to Act Like a Human-Chapter 37: No One Can Take Her Empire
Every time she was about to fall asleep, she was woken up again, filling her with rage; the pain from her wounds was unbearable.
Other than roaring, what else could Hee Qingshan do?
Now the throne belonged to Yun Qianyan, and she held the power over everyone’s life and death. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Was there any use in smashing things inside the room? It only disturbed her rest.
As for Xun Zihuai, she dared not provoke him. Thinking of that shameless man filled her with both hatred and fear; it would be better to become invisible before people in the future.
Finally feeling the quiet from next door, Ling Shishi could sleep peacefully. Just when she was in a drowsy state, she vaguely heard the door being opened.
Before she could wake up, something held her tightly, causing her to groan in frustration, wanting to push the person away. But she was lying on her stomach, injured, and lacked strength.
Especially as this person half-held and pressed down on her, making her face fall into the pillow, utterly unable to make a sound. She felt she might suffocate.
"Shi’er, Yun Qianyan has gone too far!" Hee Qingshan’s voice rang out, not sensing Ling Shishi’s discomfort at all.
Ling Shishi screamed internally, urging him to get off her. Otherwise, she would either die from pain or suffocate.
"Shi’er, Yun Qianyan wasn’t like this before."
"It’s most likely that pretty-faced State Preceptor manipulating things behind the scenes. Ever since he appeared, nothing seems to go smoothly."
"Those ideas of Yun Qianyan, coming up and not, must be the doings of that pretty-faced State Preceptor."
"I have known her since she was little; what statecraft could she possibly possess? These are all because of that pretty-faced State Preceptor. I heard he’s recommended lots of talented people to help her. Without that pretty-faced State Preceptor, Yaan Country might be in chaos."
Ling Shishi was smothered into the pillow, her body struggling continuously, without the mind to hear what Hee Qingshan was saying. Yet, he only held her tighter, leaving her with no way out.
As she was about to faint from being suffocated, Hee Qingshan finally let go and sat at the bedside: "Shi’er, why aren’t you speaking?"
Ling Shishi just wanted to curse him, wondering if he was even human.
How about Hee Qingshan try being smothered into a pillow, held so tightly, and see if he could speak? It’s easy to speak when you’re not the one suffering.
"Great King." But, she dared not voice it.
The only person she could rely on was Hee Qingshan; he was her only chance to turn the situation around: "Great King, Shi’er is in so much pain."
"Shi’er knows you’ve suffered grievances, but I just received a beating today, and it hurts so much." Ling Shishi’s sobbing voice indeed drew Hee Qingshan’s compassion, and then he heard her say, "I did nothing to the State Preceptor; he’s the one who slandered me. I discovered a huge secret, which is why he punished me."
Hee Qingshan was astonished: "What secret?"
"Lord State Preceptor has lofty ambitions; he has designs on Your Majesty. Shi’er just saw through it and tried to persuade him, and he found an excuse to whip me."
"As expected... I knew that pretty-face couldn’t have good intentions. Turns out, his dedication is because he has ideas about Yun Qianyan. I misjudged Yun Qianyan, that fickle woman."
Hee Qingshan held Ling Shishi’s hand: "Shi’er, don’t worry. I won’t let your suffering be in vain. Once I reclaim the throne, they’ll pay the price. Yun Qianyan is no longer pure; how could I have such an unruly queen? My queen can only be you."
Ling Shishi was also stirred by what she heard, until Hee Qingshan said: "The key to reclaiming the throne is to get rid of Xun Zihuai. Without him, Yun Qianyan loses her strong support, posing no threat."
