Chapter 144: Chapter 137: Another Princess_2

Wow, it’s really tragic.

Thinking about how all her efforts ended up being in vain, Shen Jingxian felt like her efforts were nothing but a joke.

How can one fight against the heavens?

She watched Wen Ranchen’s hard work and how it paid off, and thought she could do the same, how laughable.

Thinking about Song Yan, who was originally her close friend, and that young man who said “wait for me to come back” against the light, Shen Jingxian was tired. She didn’t want to struggle anymore; she just wanted to give up.

She peacefully closed her eyes, ready to accept her death.

But after keeping them closed for some time, the imagined scene of a blade falling and her head flying didn’t appear. Instead, the pain in her neck grew stronger.

Shen Jingxian couldn’t help but touch it with her hand. Well, it’s wet.

Oh, so it turns out she had already been struck with a knife, and now they’re just waiting for her to bleed out.

Bleeding out was fine, but she was a bit afraid of the pain.

“It hurts a bit, can I get some Powder for Anesthesia?”

Shen Jingxian opened her eyes, lying on the ground, looking at Wen Ranchen.

After their eyes met for a few seconds, she noticed the coldness in Wen Ranchen’s eyes gradually faded, turning into astonishment, and finally panic.

Shen Jingxian was very curious about how someone’s eyes could express so many emotions in such a short time, like the magical circular chart eyes of a domineering CEO.

Unlike her, who could only glare.

“Your Highness?” Wen Ranchen cautiously opened his mouth, with a trace of panic in his voice that even he hadn’t noticed.

Shen Jingxian didn’t understand Wen Ranchen’s strange change in attitude but still replied softly, and once again asked, “It hurts a bit, can I have some Powder for Anesthesia?”

The princess’s expression was no longer ferocious, and her eyes held a familiar innocence and gentleness.

Though lying on the ground, with dirt on her body, she still maintained an air of noble composure, as if she were lying on a jade bed, and the dirt were luxurious gems.

For this trip, Shen Jingxian hadn’t brought her maid; there were only Hidden Guards and guards around her. So now, even if they realized the person on the ground might really be the Princess, they didn’t dare risk lifting her up.

It was Wen Ranchen who first sheathed his sword and rushed over to pick up the Princess, carrying her inside.

Seeing Wen Ranchen’s intent to directly toss her onto the bed, Shen Jingxian immediately protested, “The clothes are dirty.”

Though she didn’t say it outright, Wen Ranchen understood the Princess’s meaning.

Wen Ranchen put Shen Jingxian down, reaching out with the thought of touching the wound on her neck, but hesitated.

He quickly withdrew his hand and confirmed once more with Shen Jingxian, “Your Highness?”

“Hmm?”

“Your Highness.”

“Hmm.”

“Your Highness.”

Shen Jingxian scratched her head, wondering what this child was doing.

But she patiently said, “Hmm, what’s the matter.”

Wen Ranchen seemed to finally confirm something, sighed with relief, and his eyes returned to their familiar gentleness, looking at Shen Jingxian with a gaze that could drown someone.

“It was Ranchen who overstepped and hurt Your Highness. Your Highness can do whatever you want to me.” Wen Ranchen suddenly knelt down, presenting the sword to Shen Jingxian.

His sincere posture seemed to imply that even if Shen Jingxian asked for his life right now, he would end his own life without complaint.

Shen Jingxian was in pain now, but seeing Wen Ranchen’s sword, she still had the mood to admire how beautiful it was.

The pattern on the sheath was embossed.

Shen Jingxian touched it; hmm, it felt nice.

She tried to lift it; hmm, couldn’t lift it.

She gave up.

“I understand, so when are you going to apply medicine for me?”

Shen Jingxian’s voice was calm, as if it didn’t matter at all who caused the wound on her body.

Wen Ranchen felt somewhat relieved, yet somewhat disappointed. Seeing the wound on the Princess’s neck bleeding again, he finally didn’t delay any longer and went to get medicine.

After Wen Ranchen left, Shen Jingxian, managing by herself, changed her clothes and called the Hidden Guard in.

After clarifying what had just happened, Shen Jingxian finally understood the reason for Wen Ranchen’s unusual behavior earlier, and… the dissonance she felt from her own body.

Without a doubt, another person had appeared inside her body.

This person was likely the Princess from the original story.

The last time the Princess appeared, her emotions were influenced, but she knew what she was doing and had memory of it.

But it had only been a few days, and this incident today happened, with no recollection of the words the Hidden Guard had mentioned.
