In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!-Chapter 156: A Shared Bed, Separate Fates

In his half-dreaming state, he felt something warm press against him.

Without thinking, he wrapped his arms around it and even rubbed his face against it.

Shang Qinghua’s heartbeat was already unsteady and now Yue Mingxuan suddenly hugged him directly.

His face instantly burned and his heart completely lost its rhythm.

Yue Mingxuan, however, had no idea about Shang Qinghua’s inner turmoil. In his sleep, he even smacked his lips, as if he were dreaming of something delicious.

Seeing how cute Yue Mingxuan looked, the tension that had been tightly wound in Shang Qinghua’s heart finally loosened.

A sense of peace spread through his limbs, and heavy sleepiness swept over him.

Just like that, the two of them clung to each other like a pair of octopuses and slept all the way until dusk settled in.

Yue Mingxuan stretched lazily.

This nap had been unbelievably comfortable.

After waking up, his head did not hurt, his vision was clear, and he felt refreshed all over.

However, when the corner of his eye caught sight of Shang Qinghua sleeping beside him, his scream almost pierced through the roof.

"Ahhh! Shang Qinghua, you damned pervert! Why are you on my bed?!"

Hearing this, Yin Zi almost fell straight down from the roof beam.

He looked around carefully and confirmed once again that this was indeed Shang Qinghua’s room. But why did Prince Yue completely forget what he had done before falling asleep?

Shang Qinghua who had been woken up by the shouting was in an equally bad mood.

He said unhappily, "Are you blind? This is clearly my room. You took over my bed, and now you’re calling me a pervert? Hm?"

Yue Mingxuan looked around and finally remembered that he had fallen asleep on Shang Qinghua’s bed.

At that moment, he strongly felt the urge to slap himself.

If anyone was a pervert, it was probably him. Feeling extremely awkward, he apologized, "S-sorry... I was half asleep."

At that moment, Gu Xiang’s voice came from outside the door. "Your Highness, it’s time for dinner."

Afraid that Gu Xiang would push the door open, Yue Mingxuan almost jumped off the bed. "It’s getting late. I still need to check on Prince Qing’s condition. I’ll leave first!"

If Gu Xiang came in and saw him lying on Shang Qinghua’s bed, Yue Mingxuan had no doubt that he would be assassinated tonight, no, probably he would be killed directly the moment he stepped outside.

He understood women best, and he could clearly see the thoughts in Gu Xiang’s mind.

Without waiting for Shang Qinghua to speak, Yue Mingxuan opened the door and rushed out.

It truly looked like he was fleeing in panic.

Gu Xiang watched his retreating figure and frowned unhappily.

Her small actions did not escape Shang Qinghua’s eyes.

"Go to the Punishment Office and accept your penalty," Shang Qinghua said calmly.

Gu Xiang stared at her master in disbelief.

She had followed him for so many years and had never been punished once.

Now, just because of a small prince, he wanted to punish her?

Unwilling to accept it, she knelt down and said, "Master, what crime has Gu Xiang committed?"

Seeing her like this, Shang Qinghua closed his eyes helplessly.

Gu Xiang had followed him for many years, and he had always clearly seen her little thoughts.

Because she had always behaved properly and never crossed the line, he had tolerated her staying by his side. But now, it seemed that she could no longer stay.

"Gu Xiang," Shang Qinghua said slowly, "you’re not young anymore. Staying by my side is no longer suitable. You should find someone to marry as soon as possible."

Hearing these words, Gu Xiang collapsed weakly onto the ground.

Was he driving her away now?

She only did not want to see that foolish prince constantly clinging to him...

Forcing herself to maintain the last shred of dignity, Gu Xiang bowed heavily to Shang Qinghua and said, "Master, please take care."

After that, she said no more.

The woman dressed in red left decisively.

On the ground were traces of blood left from her kowtow, mixed with scattered tear marks.

Shang Qinghua slowly opened his eyes.

"Yin Zi," he said, "send a few people to protect her until she leaves Beirong territory."

Yue Mingxuan knew nothing about what had happened behind him.

He touched the piece of paper hidden in his robes.

Written on it was the prescription to treat Rong Qinglei.

This was the result of three days of nonstop effort.

When Yue Mingxuan arrived at Chengqian Palace, Rong Qinglei was strolling slowly in the courtyard with palace attendants by his side.

When he saw Yue Mingxuan, his face immediately lit up with a wide smile.

"Mingxuan, you’re here?"

Facing Rong Qinglei, Yue Mingxuan always carried a sense of guilt.

On top of that, as Rong Qinglei’s main doctor, he had failed to show up for three consecutive days.

No matter how one looked at it, it was not justifiable.

Yue Mingxuan raised the paper in his hand and returned a bright smile.

"I found the prescription to treat you."

Rong Qinglei carefully looked at Yue Mingxuan.

There were obvious dark circles under his eyes, showing that he had not rested well these past few days.

A trace of emotion passed through Rong Qinglei’s heart.

"Actually, Mingxuan, you don’t have to work yourself this hard. Some things can be handed to servants to do."

Yue Mingxuan stepped forward and naturally bent down to take Rong Qinglei’s pulse.

"Others don’t fully understand your body condition. I feel more at ease checking it myself."

Rong Qinglei’s pulse was still weak and faint.

Although there were no signs of sudden worsening, his life was still under constant threat.

Hearing Yue Mingxuan say this, Rong Qinglei felt warmth spread through his heart.

"You’re so dedicated," Rong Qinglei said with a smile. "I will definitely ask Father Emperor to reward you properly."

Yue Mingxuan knew Rong Qinglei was joking and replied with a smile, "Then reward me with one year of Beirong’s tax revenue."
