Fast Travel: The Hundred-Life Couple

"No! I can't drink Baolian's blood, nor can I eat Baolian's flesh. I'd rather be poisoned to death!"

The emperor asked Qin Banban to show the two notes to the queen, Xiao Jingjian and Ye Baolian respectively. Xiao Jingjian was shocked, and the next moment, he flatly refused this way of detoxification.

He couldn't bear to hurt his beloved baby whom he had watched grow up.

"Brother Crown Prince, I am willing to do anything to cure the poison in your body!"

When Ye Baolian first saw the note, her first reaction was fear, but then she thought that if the prince died, she would have no one to rely on in the future, and the position of queen and all the glory and wealth would be far away from her.

She absolutely couldn't accept it.

Therefore, after a moment's hesitation, she immediately made the decision that was best for herself, and she would use her own flesh and blood to save Xiao Jingjian no matter what.

Even if she doesn't want to, she has to pretend to be willing.

Otherwise, if Xiao Jingjian refused to drink her blood or eat her flesh because of her resistance, and anything happened, she would be guilty of the crime and would be put to death.

You may even be hated by the emperor and the empress.

By then, she will have no chance of reaping the benefits. It really won't be worth it!

And if she saves Xiao Jingjian this time, then in addition to Xiao Jingjian's love, she will also have respect. What if the love between them is gone in the future.

At least there is still the gratitude for saving my life.

It can play a huge role at critical moments.

Therefore, when Xiao Jingjian just raised objections, Ye Baolian immediately agreed to sacrifice herself to save Xiao Jingjian and persuaded him to accept this treatment plan.

"Brother Crown Prince, ever since I was born, I remember you holding me more than my father and mother did. You love me the most and you don't want me to get hurt. I know it in my heart.

But we have been married for a long time by the Emperor. We are destined to be husband and wife, the two closest and most connected people in the world. So if you insist on not using my blood to detoxify, and anything unexpected happens, I will just go with you.

Anyway, if there is no prince in this world, Bao Lian will feel boring and alone."

Ye Baolian hugged Xiao Jingjian's waist and cried breathlessly, which made Xiao Jingjian heartbroken.

"No, I'd better leave you before that, so that I don't have to keep seeing the scene of you vomiting blood. That would be like the pain of being tortured to death!"

"Why don't I go ahead and wait for my prince brother downstairs~"

Ye Baolian struggled to break free from Xiao Jingjian, not caring that her wig had fallen off, and was determined to perform by hitting the pillar. Xiao Jingjian had no choice but to accept it with pain: "Okay, I promise you, I will drink your blood!"

The emperor, the empress, the group of imperial physicians who were kneeling there and watching the two perform, and Qin Banban all breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, the imperial physician cut a small bowl of blood from Ye Baolian's wrist. Xiao Jingjian looked at her pale little face and bald head, and drank it in small sips.

He told himself to remember the taste on his tongue.

This is the taste of Bao Lian's love for him, the taste of life-saving grace, the taste of mutual affection and the promise of life and death...

After drinking Ye Baolian's blood, Xiao Jingjian's complexion became visibly redder, and the dull pain in his chest disappeared. The imperial physician diagnosed that his pulse was no longer as disordered as before.

The emperor and empress were temporarily relieved.

He kept Ye Baolian in the palace, saying that he wanted the imperial kitchen to prepare more delicious food for her to replenish her energy and blood.

In fact, it was to prevent the prince's illness from recurring, so Ye Baolian was kept in the palace just in case.

Ye Baolian seemed unaware of it. In the next few days, she applied a green mud mask on her head according to the imperial physician's prescription. It was said that this was a secret recipe for hair growth passed down from an imperial physician's ancestors.

"The late emperor said it was good after using it!" The imperial physician gave Ye Baolian and the prince a heads-up in advance.

In order to prevent Ye Baolian from not being able to grow hair in the future and the prince from getting angry at him for having to provide the prescription.

Given how much Xiao Jingjian cared about Ye Baolian, he would definitely vent his anger on the imperial physician if Ye Baolian didn't grow hair within three days. However, another incident left him with no time to vent his anger on the imperial physician.

That means the poison in his body relapsed the next day.

After spitting out a mouthful of black blood, he felt dizzy and his chest was still stuffy. It was as if his heart was being strangled by a fishing net, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Upon hearing the news, the Emperor and Empress rushed over immediately. Seeing her son suffering from the poison, the Empress choked with grief and said, "What's going on? Didn't he drink Baolian's blood? Why is the poison coming back again?"

"Baolian, you've suffered so much..." Pour another bowl of blood.

The Queen didn't say the second half of the sentence, but her eyes clearly showed her meaning. Ye Baolian couldn't pretend to be confused, so she tearfully asked the imperial physician to drain another large bowl of blood from her wrist.

Looking at the big bowl of blood being taken away from her sight, Ye Baolian gradually became dazed.

In her memory, a similar scene seemed to happen frequently a long time ago.

However, in her memory, she was in poor health as a child, and it was usually her parents or the prince who would bring a bowl of red medicinal food and coax her into drinking it in soft voices, and she drank it for many years.

She was very happy when the day came when she finally didn't have to drink anymore.

The parents hugged each other and cried with joy. The prince looked at her with bright eyes, a rare expression of joy.

In her memory, the person who had always provided her with blood seemed to be her half-sister.

The “insignificance” of the “insignificant” life that my father mentioned.

The "insignificant" life that my mother calls "insignificant".

The "fate" of life as described by the Crown Prince is "the fate of life".

She had the impression that she had never met someone she had never met before.

The "helplessness" of the life that the servants talk about as "isolated and helpless".

The "unheard of" things in life that outsiders have "unheard of".

...In short, she was a shadowy person, born in a shadowy way. Over the past few years, Ye Baolian had no impression or memory of the mother and daughter.

But somehow, I suddenly thought of them today.

She glanced sideways at the prince, who, forced by the heart pain, drank the bowl of blood in one gulp, no longer as cautious and cherishing as he had yesterday.

She suddenly realized that today was not the last time she would bleed, and from now on, it would be endless.

"Is it retribution? It must be retribution." Ye Baolian thought with infinite sadness in her heart.

It seemed that her half-sister disappeared out of thin air in the mansion five years ago.

"Cough, cough..." Xiao Jingjian drank a little too quickly. After finishing the last sip, he choked and coughed. He looked at Ye Baolian with a gentle gaze, full of gratitude and guilt. "Baolian, thanks to you again this time, I feel much better now."

Ye Baolian held her wrist, which was bandaged, medicated, and aching slightly, and did not speak for a while.

Instead, she stared at the blood-red color at the corner of his mouth, and always felt that the prince was very strange and distant, and seemed to be getting farther and farther away.

"Wuuuu... As long as my blood is useful to Prince Brother, it's enough. As long as Prince Brother is healthy, everything will be worth it!" Ye Baolian suppressed all her floating thoughts, rushed over again, and lay on Xiao Jingjian's legs and cried.

Xiao Jingjian instinctively wanted to touch Ye Baolian's head, but she was wearing a wig made of someone's hair.

The thought of him touching someone's hair, or the hair of several people, or the hair of someone who had died long ago, always made him, who always liked cleanliness, feel a little uncomfortable.

Ye Baolian felt the stiffness of his movements, but she seemed unaware of it and continued sobbing in his arms.

She thought that her daily life would be just to provide blood to Xiao Jingjian, but starting from the third day, everyone realized that the blood could only keep the prince from feeling uncomfortable for one day.

But using Ye Baolian's flesh as medicine can keep the prince free from angina pectoris for ten days.

At the beginning, the prince also resisted strongly and refused to let Ye Baolian cut the flesh. However, Ye Baolian was very uncomfortable with bleeding every day, so she threatened to commit suicide. Xiao Jingjian had to reluctantly agree and let her cut the flesh on her calf.

"How could this be! My poor daughter!"

Ye Baolian had not been home for half a month. Fang Yinyin persuaded Prime Minister Ye to go to the palace to look for her. Only then did Ye Baolian stammer and explain to her parents the truth about why she stayed in the palace.

Fang Yinyin had resentment towards the emperor's family, but due to the imperial power, she dared not speak out loud, so she could only hug her daughter and cry.

"Master, if we hadn't killed the goose that laid the golden eggs, we should have put Ye Xiaoli to death earlier! Even if she hadn't disappeared, at least we would have a ginseng that could cure the strange poison in the prince."

Fang Yinyin cried and said to Prime Minister Ye, she was extremely regretful.

Prime Minister Ye was startled, and the emperor's wise and intelligent face suddenly appeared in his mind.
