Empress Running Away With The Ball

ch.313,314,315 and 316

Chapter 313: This king is filled with regret now

Xia He replied, "We servants haven't seen bodyguard Hei all day, but this servant has heard that his highness woke up not long after coming back to the palace. He is currently in the Intoxicated Flower Pavilion resting up, having concubine consort Chen take care of him."

This Mo Chuan, she could only see the dragon's head, but not the tail.

When she needed him, he was never here! He even said that he would protect her, never letting her lose a single hair!

Men always have to keep their words, never breaking their promises!

Chen Ning angrily gritted her teeth, "Alright. Help me pump some hot water, I want to take a bath."

She had been pulled off the horse by Chu Shao Yang, rolling several times on the ground. Her head and body was covered in mud and grass, making her feel very uncomfortable. She couldn't wait to take a bath.

Soaking in the warm tub, she let out a long, comfortable sigh. A head of dark hair fell down, covering her white as snow shoulders.

She sent out Xiao Ru and the other maids. Sitting in the tub alone, she raised her head and took a cloth from the water, placing it on her face. Closing her eyes, she gave a gentle sigh.

She didn't even know why she was giving a sigh. The only thing that passed in front of her eyes was that scene from the forest.

Chu Shao Yang had his bow and arrow raised, with a cold glow in his eyes. With a "xiu" sound, the arrow flew through the air!

However, his target was not her, but rather the giant snake on the tree behind her!

Not only did his arrow not kill her, it actually saved her!

But, why?

Wasn't he filled with hate for her, wishing that she was dead?

If she died, then his beloved Chen Bi Yun could then be justified in becoming his legal princess. Moreover, with the situation in that moment, even if he did not make a move, she would have been bitten to death by the poisonous snake.

He could have stood at the side and watched her send herself to her death, but he still made a move to save her!

Without a sound, there was an extra person in the room.

That person was standing right behind Chen Ning, looking at her back with a cold, sharp glow in his eyes without even blinking.

With the heat in the bath generating steamy mist, her shoulders were slightly visible and her hair fell down like clouds. Her face was covered in a veil, and it seemed like she had fallen asleep.

"Chu Shao Yang, why did you save me?" Chen Ning closed her eyes as she muttered this.

"He! This king was also asking himself why he saved you!"

A cold voice suddenly came from behind her. Then, she felt her throat tighten as a hand tightly gripped her slender neck.

"Chen Ning, this king is filled with regret. Now, this king wants you to die!"

The hand grabbing her neck used more strength and her head went into the water. Large amounts of hot water entered into her mouth and nose.


"Gulu, gulu!" Bubbles kept appearing on the surface of the water.

She desperately struggled, but with her strength, it was like an ant going against a tree. He used more strength and pushed her even deeper into the water.

Her lungs were about to burst and her eyes turned dark as her limbs lost all strength.

Was she about to die? Was she really about to die like this?

Chen Ning revealed a bitter smile. If she knew this would happen, then she wouldn't have saved him!

Chu Shao Yang, she always knew that he was a man eating wolf, but she foolishly believed that he could be a gentleman. In the end, it was her own fault for being eaten by the wolf!

She closed her eyes and gave up on struggling.

Chu Shao Yang had a look filled with hate on his face. There were no emotions at all in his cold, cruel eyes.

He wholeheartedly wanted her to die!

However, seeing her life slowly disappear in his hands and seeing how she stopped struggling in the water, his chest suddenly filled with a sharp pain.

Chapter 314: Endlessly

In that instant, Chu Shao Yang seemed to see himself struggling in the water in the past. That helpless version of himself.

Would he kill her? Would he really have her die in his hands?

Perhaps she really deserved to die, but he found that he could not do it!

"Chen Ning, if you want to leave this king, then don't even think about it! This king will not kill you! This king will continue to torture you, making your every day worse than death!"

He suddenly took his hand back and left this cold sentence. Without even looking at Chen Ning in the tub, he did not turn around as he jumped out the window.

"Hu!" Chen Ning's head quickly popped out of the water and she took deep breaths. She was breathing so hard that she began to give strong coughs.

She took in a few breaths and then looked around, but found no one.

If she had not seen the window swaying slightly, she would have thought that she just had a nightmare.

"Chu Shao Yang!" She gritted her teeth, then her wet body jumped out of the water. She tightly wrapped some clothes around herself.

Thinking of what just happened, she gave a cold shiver.

If he had not let go in the end, she would have become a corpse floating in the tub!

But, he clearly hated her, so why did he not kill her?

Then she suddenly thought of what he said before leaving and understood everything.

That's right, to him, this is nothing more than a game of cat and mouse!

When a cat catches a mouse, they wouldn't bare to kill it right away. They would torture it first before eating the mouse.

He was the cat and she was the mouse. If he didn't have enough fun, how could he bare to kill her?

"Very good, Chu Shao Yang. If you want to torture me, then I'll fight you to the end, endlessly!" She forcefully grinded her teeth, revealing a tenacious look.

Chu Shao Yang did not get far before not know why his heart would suddenly feel pain, making his steps stop.

He quickly moved faster, disappearing without a trace.

Returning to the Intoxicated Flower Pavilion, Chen Bi Yun heard his footsteps and quickly came out to greet him. She had a face of worry as she gently said, "Your highness, this concubine only take a nap and you disappeared. The doctor said you have to stay in bed for two days, so why did you go out? What happens if you catch a cold?"

She suddenly noticed that his clothes were wet and there was a faint fragrance coming from him that seemed familiar. A person's figure appeared in her mind and her face could not help turning pale.

Chu Shao Yang immediately saw her strange expression and hugged her as he said, "Yun'er, what's wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable?"

Chen Bi Yun followed along with an "un" sound and said with a frown, "My stomach is uncomfortable.

"Doctor, bring a doctor!" Chu Shao Yang revealed a nervous look and immediately lifted her up, running into the room.


"Your highness, no need to be so anxious. Yun'er is fine." Chen Bi Yun's heart felt sweet and she could see from Chu Shao Yang's eyes that he still cared about her.

"Your expression already changed, how could you be fine! It's this king's fault for making you worried, not letting you rest properly, causing problems with your body. Someone, bring a doctor over now!" Chu Shao Yang loudly roared outside the door.

He quickly walked beside the bed and carefully placed her on it, as if she was a piece of fragile porcelain. Being cared for like this, Chen Bi Yun's heart filled with satisfaction and pride.

"Your highness, Yun'er really is fine. Just now...." She revealed a shy look as she held his hand and placed it on her stomach, "He.....kicked Yun'er once."
