Transmigrating to a Female-Dominated World: Handsome Men Keep Chasing After Me

Chapter 336

Shen Xi has not made any other moves in the past few days, which means that she is unaware that her plan has succeeded and that the coronation ceremony will be held the day after tomorrow. However, the court is already rife with undercurrents.

Aman returned close to evening and was taken aback when she saw the man beside Nalan Jingwen. "You..."

Chi Chenyi was also sizing her up, his gaze undisguised. Upon hearing this, he slightly raised his chin and said, "Awen's husband."

These days he has been referring to himself as Nalan Jingwen's husband, and those around him have gotten used to it and will call him "Wang Fu" (royal husband). Nalan Jingwen knows this, but he has not stopped them from calling him that, since it is just a title after all.

Aman seemed to understand, clicked her tongue twice, and asked Nalan Jing, "What about your other husband?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Chenyi looked at Nalan Jingwen with a dangerous expression.

Nalan Jingwen showed no expression, but explained to Aman for the first time, "He's not my husband, just my younger brother."

Aman wanted to say something, but seeing Nalan Jingwen's gaze, she swallowed her words.

Not wanting to waste too much time on these pointless questions, Nalan Jingwen handed her the Ningxue Wine that had been prepared by the servants on the table and asked, "What illness does Xiao Jin have?"

Ah Man eagerly took a sip, only to find it wasn't as delicious as she had imagined. She smacked her lips, somewhat disappointed, and said, "This Ningxue Brew isn't as good as the rumors say."

She lost out on this trip.

Finding the room eerily quiet, she looked up to see Nalan Jingwen staring intently at her, making her feel uneasy. She simply turned around and faced away from Nalan Jingwen, which made her feel much better.

"It's not an illness, it's just poisoning."

Is it curable?

"Nature can cure it. With me here, these poisons are no problem."

"But I couldn't cure it."

"why?"

Nalan Jingwen was puzzled.

Ah Man took another sip of wine, smacked her lips, and found it tasteless, so she simply drank it like water. "There's no reason why, I'm just unhappy and don't want to get treatment anymore."

She always treated patients based on her mood. She had agreed to treat Nalan Jingwen's illnesses purely because she was greedy. If she could get rejected by Nalan Jingwen once, she wouldn't get rejected by anyone else a second time. If she made Nalan Jingwen unhappy, she wouldn't treat him even if he made her emperor.

Besides, she didn't say that agreeing to go see a doctor meant she had to get treatment.

Nalan Jingwen knew she was easygoing, but he didn't expect her to be so truly easygoing, disregarding everything. "What did they do to upset you?"

"It's nothing, it's just that they have too many rules. They even have to search my body and change my clothes before I enter the mansion. I don't like that."

"So they just let you go like that?"

Upon hearing this, Nalan Jing got up and walked to the window. She opened the window and looked down. Seeing her action, Aman crossed her legs and said lazily, "Don't worry, they didn't come with us. I shook them off a long time ago."

"But you already have quite a few informants downstairs, are you worried about having a few more?"

Nalan Jingwen closed the window and looked at her, "You have to cure her."

Aman paused slightly, as if she hadn't heard clearly, "What?"

Nalan Jingwen repeated, his expression serious, "You have to cure Xiao Jin."

"But we have to keep her in bed; we can't cure her immediately."

Ah Man wasn't stupid; she quickly understood what the other person meant, and her flippant expression gradually turned serious. "What do you want to do?"

"As I said before, I hate people in your court and have no desire to get involved in your infighting."

Nalan Jingwen walked back to the table and sat down, speaking slowly and deliberately:

"A bottle of Golden Dew."

Aman jumped up and said, "Say that again?"

Nalan Jingwen held up two fingers and said again, "Two bottles of Golden Wind and Jade Dew."

"You investigated me?!"

Aman looked shocked. "How did you know I was looking for it?"

Nalan Jingwen remained unhurried, his expression indifferent. "How is it?"

"I'm just asking you to keep Xiao Jin on hold, so that her poison isn't completely eradicated. That shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?"

Aman stared intently at her, remaining silent for a long time. Nalan Jingwen was also in no hurry, waiting for her reply.

Finally, she relented, "I'll think about it some more."

Seeing this, Chi Chenyi said directly, "If you don't agree, then don't blame me for taking action!"

Nalan Jingwen took Chi Chenyi's hand and nodded in agreement, "I hope I can get your answer before tomorrow."

Ah Man ignored Chi Chenyi and twitched her lips. "It's already evening..."

Nalan Jingwen said matter-of-factly, "So you only have one night to think about it."

Ah Man had never seen such an unreasonable and shameless rogue as Nalan Jingwen! She had fallen into her trap once again, and she couldn't even struggle back!

He simply stormed off in a huff, and Nalan Jingwen didn't chase after him. He leisurely took a sip of tea and poured a cup for Chi Chenyi as well.

Ah Man finally agreed; she had to get her hands on the Golden Dew.

The next day.

Just as Nalan Jingwen was about to set off for the Xiao residence, he encountered an uninvited guest.

"What's the matter?"

Xiao Congyu looked flustered as he stared at Nalan Jingwen, as if something terrible had happened.

"Your Highness, I have just received news..."

"Your Highness's foster mother and father..."

She paused, as if finding it difficult to speak, and Nalan Jingwen realized something, his expression gradually becoming serious.

"What happened to them?"

"died……"

Clang.

Suddenly, a sound of something falling to the ground came from outside the door. Everyone looked over and saw Ah Nian standing outside, looking dazed, as if he couldn't stand up. He was bracing his hands against the door to support his almost swaying body.

"Your Highness!"

Xiao Congyu called out, never expecting that A Nian would appear here. The person outside the door suddenly turned and left. Even faster than Xiao Congyu was a red figure, who chased after him in an instant.

Ah Nian staggered and stumbled as he ran outside, but he couldn't see clearly. He soon stumbled and fell to the ground, his knees and palms throbbing with pain and leaving hideous bloodstains. But he was oblivious to it and struggled to his feet again, trying to run out.

He had only one thought in his mind: to run away, not to stay here, as if he had never been here at all, so that none of this had happened.

Then everything can proceed as usual...

But fate was unkind; he fell again, crashing heavily to the ground. His legs were so painful he could barely feel them, and he couldn't get up no matter what he did.

He suddenly found himself in a familiar embrace, but all he wanted to do now was escape.

Nalan Jingwen picked him up and saw that his face was pale and mottled with tear stains. He did not make a sound, but tears kept falling like beads from a broken string. There was not even a glimmer of light in his eyes, as if his soul had been taken away and only an empty shell remained.

Her heart felt as if it were being pricked by countless needles, a fine, dense pain rising within her. She carefully wiped away his tears.

"sorry."

The person in his arms touched his cheek blankly, but froze when they felt a wet patch. Then they struggled violently, their voice hoarse and choked with sobs, "Let me go back, let me go, please..."

"Let me go……"

"please……"
