Chapter 254: Chapter 192: How Should I Die

Shen Jingxian had a dream, and in the dream, she died.

Although she later came back to life, during the time she was dead, Wen Ranchen and Song Yan both turned dark, and together they destroyed the world!!

So when Shen Jingxian came back to life, she was greeted only by corpses!!

Shen Jingxian woke up in fright.

She suddenly opened her eyes and sat up, her heart racing.

Wen Ranchen was always a light sleeper, so when Shen Jingxian woke up, he did too.

At this moment, Wen Ranchen hadn’t realized the seriousness of the situation. He wrapped his arms around Shen Jingxian’s waist from behind and even had the mood to nuzzle, “What’s wrong? Had a nightmare?”

Shen Jingxian heard his voice and recalled the words she heard in the dream, “I want everyone to be buried with her.”

Hiss…

Shen Jingxian swung her hand and whacked Wen Ranchen on the head, furious, “Bad thing!!”

Wen Ranchen: ?

Though he didn’t know why, his instinct made him apologize immediately, “I was wrong.”

This tactic was very effective, it could solve half of the problems encountered.

But today, Shen Jingxian wasn’t so easily appeased. She frowned her pretty eyebrows and looked seriously at Wen Ranchen, “What did you do wrong!”

Wen Ranchen’s brain started racing, knowing he hadn’t done anything recently to upset the Princess, and before sleep, the Princess was in a good mood, so the problem must have occurred while sleeping.

Today, he didn’t mess around, the Princess possibly couldn’t feel discomfort, nor was there noise affecting her sleep, and during this season, there were no mosquito bites…

The Princess woke up suddenly, was angry at him upon waking…

The result could only be one.

“I shouldn’t have upset my wife in the dream.” Wen Ranchen whispered deep in Shen Jingxian’s ear. His voice was already enticing, coupled with the hoarseness of just waking up, Shen Jingxian instantly felt her bones go weak.

The wonderful voice made her snap awake, Shen Jingxian immediately realized what she had just done, and with Wen Ranchen’s “good attitude” in admitting fault, she felt a bit guilty, explaining softly, “I wasn’t fully awake just now, it wasn’t intentional to be mean to you.”

Wen Ranchen didn’t care at all and wrapped himself around Shen Jingxian from behind, “Even if it was on purpose, it’s okay.”

Shen Jingxian reached out to rub Wen Ranchen’s head, asking, “Does it hurt?”

“I have thick skin and flesh, not afraid of pain. Don’t hurt yourself, wear gloves next time if you act.”

Shen Jingxian was dumbfounded, “But I don’t have gloves.”

Wen Ranchen was also dumbfounded.

That afternoon, he went to buy a pair of silk gloves for Shen Jingxian, naming it beautifully as making hitting not painful.

Shen Jingxian: Thank you.

Thought it was over, but that night Shen Jingxian had the same dream again. Wen Ranchen’s sword was stained with blood, corpses lay everywhere, his gaze was dead silent. Even when Shen Jingxian resurrected, he only regarded her as an enemy’s piece sent to disrupt him, mercilessly piercing her heart with an arrow.

The last sentence Shen Jingxian heard today was, “All who impersonate her should die.”

Hey!! But I am real!!! Won’t you listen to people!!

However, Shen Jingxian couldn’t say anymore, she lost her breath in the dream.

The feeling was very real, as if truly dying. Shen Jingxian had died before, she knew the feeling between life and death.

Shen Jingxian awoke from the dream again, turning over and heavily punched Wen Ranchen’s thigh, “Listen to people speaking!!!”

With familiarity from the first time, Wen Ranchen roughly understands the situation now and was utterly calm, responding lightly, “What does my wife want to say?”

Shen Jingxian felt aggrieved, “I’m not fake.”

Seeing she felt wronged, Wen Ranchen quickly brought her into his embrace to comfort, and after a short while, Shen Jingxian fell asleep again. Wen Ranchen, however, didn’t close his eyes, softly patting her back.

In the middle, Shen Jingxian woke with a start once more, feeling someone patting her, she didn’t open her eyes, and went back to sleep, not dreaming again.

Wen Ranchen thought it was because Shen Jingxian was too tired from studying lately, so he specifically requested several days off for her to rest at home, but her habit of waking up startled in the middle of the night did not improve.

Wen Ranchen went to the Imperial Physician to retrieve medicine for Shen Jingxian, to be taken every meal, yet Shen Jingxian’s spirit visibly wilted.

The most worrying part for Wen Ranchen was that initially when Shen Jingxian awakened in the night, she’d vent on him a bit, but in recent days, she only stared at him, dazed, the sadness in her eyes made his heart ache.

Even if Wen Ranchen racked his brains trying to cheer Shen Jingxian up, the effect was minimal.

With no other choice, Wen Ranchen temporarily sent Shen Jingxian into the palace, hoping the Empress Emperor might have a solution.

Unexpectedly the next day, Wen Ranchen opened the door, and saw Shen Jingxian, meant to be in the Imperial Palace, lying on the ground covered in blood.

At that moment, Wen Ranchen couldn’t describe his feelings, he was clearly breathing, yet he still felt suffocated.

Once he realized what happened before him, the overpowering pain and immense loss engulfed all his reason, as if his blood vessels were being painfully ripped from the inside, spreading through his body, spreading to every pore, as if a bone-eating worm uncontrollably roaming, causing pain wherever it went.

Pain to the extreme, it was silent.

Shen Jingxian clearly heard Wen Ranchen come in, but she didn’t feel Wen Ranchen move, tempting her to open her eyes, wanting to see if Wen Ranchen really came.

Unexpectedly, upon opening her eyes, she was met with an expression identical to Wen Ranchen in the dream, although alive, his gaze seemed dead.

Shen Jingxian was terrified, realizing her dreams might not be just dreams, but a premonition, which was why she decided to test today.

The fear in Shen Jingxian’s eyes was seen by Wen Ranchen. Just moments ago, he was glad the Princess was alright, but now felt incredibly sad for her fear of him.

Once his rationality returned, he noticed the blood on the floor was chicken blood, not human blood.

Human blood and chicken blood smell different, human blood has a salty tang, whereas the surroundings now had not just a bloody smell, but the unique stench of animal blood.

Yet, even after confirming the blood wasn’t Shen Jingxian’s, Wen Ranchen still asked to be safe, “My lady, are you hurt anyplace?”

Shen Jingxian sat up from the ground, blinking, innocent, “I’m not hurt anywhere, purposely scared you.”

After speaking, Shen Jingxian carefully observed Wen Ranchen’s reaction, to see if he was angry, but Wen Ranchen wasn’t.

He even disregarded the bloodstains on Shen Jingxian, kneeling on the ground, pulling Shen Jingxian into his arms, voice tinged with a trace of fright, “Please don’t scare me like that again.”

Shen Jingxian’s heart hurt for him, but she couldn’t promise.

This will repeat many times, until Wen Ranchen can properly accept her death.

Of course, if everything in the dream was just her anxiety, that would be even better, but if the dream becomes reality, she must prevent Wen Ranchen from becoming like the dream.

Shen Jingxian hugged Wen Ranchen back, gently patting his back, “I just want to know, if I die, what you’ll do?”

Wen Ranchen didn’t speak, just hugged Shen Jingxian tighter, “Don’t say things like that.”

“Wen Ranchen, if one day I die, you cannot vent on others, understand?”

“…”

“I mean no harm, but your gaze just now scared me.”

“…”

“Think, if I’m not here, my father Emperor and mother Empress are still alive, as their son-in-law, shouldn’t you care for them on my behalf.”

“…Yes.”

“So, how should you act.”

“My lady, Hug.”

Shen Jingxian: “…”

Forget it, educate the boy tomorrow.

Tried dying in blood today, tomorrow try dying by an arrow through the chest.
