Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 513

Huo Sizhen knew that they were on the way, not the time for him to do such a thing. Besides, the secret of his homosexuality had already spread, so he couldn't risk his life at this time.

But for some reason, his desire came on unusually strongly, and he couldn't suppress it with reason.

Huo Sizhen felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, his whole body was agitated, and his mind seemed to be blank except for this surging desire that overwhelmed all reason.

Unable to resist any longer, he summoned a servant, ostensibly to serve him.

As soon as the servant entered, the carriage began to shake violently, so much so that the coachman was stunned and stood there, not knowing what to do. Even the horses pulling the carriage stopped in confusion.

Suppressed cries of pain could still be heard from inside the carriage, indicating just how intense the battle was inside.

The prince's carriage stopped, and all the other carriages and horses had to stop as well. Judging from the extent of the carriage's swaying, it was obvious what was happening inside.

"..."

The group exchanged bewildered glances, their faces showing increasing embarrassment.

Has His Highness the Crown Prince gone mad? Does he think his reputation isn't bad enough already? How can he be so reckless, starting this in the carriage on the road?

Princess De'an's carriage was just behind Huo Sizhen's carriage. She clearly saw Huo Sizhen beckon a servant into his carriage, and then the carriage began to shake.

Although she was still a naive young girl, she knew what was going on!

Princess De'an broke down in tears even more!

Huo Sizhen actually started having an affair with a servant boy in broad daylight on the way!

What kind of man did she marry?!

An envoy from the Western Qi Dynasty glared at the coachman in Huo Sizhen's carriage with a livid face. The coachman realized what was happening and quickly cracked his whip to urge the carriage to continue.

Everyone's expressions were stiff, and they tacitly agreed to pretend they hadn't seen or heard anything and continued on their way. However, an extremely awkward atmosphere permeated the entire convoy.

Beside the official road, on a distant mountain peak.

Mo Chonggui, mounted on his horse, looked down at the entourage of the Western Qi envoys, a cold smile appearing in his eyes.

Huo Sizhen attempted to force Shen Lingjun into a marriage alliance and even used a curse on the Wen family. Now that he is Shen Lingjun's fiancé, he naturally has an obligation to reciprocate on her behalf.

He gave Huo Sizhen a generous gift, hoping that Huo Sizhen would enjoy it.

......

The Yongning Marquis's Residence.

Qin Shaoze took the medicine for three days, and Shen Lingjun examined him. Although his body was far from fully recovered, he had improved a lot.

She drew blood from Qin Shaoze again, prepared another dose of the antidote, and fed it to Qin Chuyao.

But it still didn't work at all.

For the past few days, Qin Chuyao has been barely managing to cope with the high fever and pain by relying entirely on self-prescribed fever reducers and painkillers. The toxicity hasn't been neutralized at all.

A six-year-old child's body will soon be unable to withstand such prolonged hardship.

Looking at Qin Chuyao's pale face, sunken eyes, and much thinner body, Shen Lingjun felt as if her heart was being burned on a flame, and she could no longer remain calm.

She came out in a huff and angrily asked Qin Shaoze, "Is what you said true or not? Why is your blood still not working at all?"

Qin Shaoze also looked puzzled: "Everything I said is true! If it were false, how long could I keep up this lie? Would I really risk my life like that?"

He didn't know why his blood was still useless.

Logically speaking, although his body has not yet fully recovered, his current condition is acceptable, and his blood should at least have some detoxification effect.

How could it be completely useless?

Judging from Qin Shaoze's expression and tone, Shen Lingjun didn't think he was faking it. He wouldn't be stupid enough to tell such a huge lie out of thin air, because if he were exposed, he would be dead immediately.

Qin Shaoze's mind raced, and he said, "It must be because I haven't been living well enough, and my body hasn't recovered! If I lived a life of good food, drink, and sleep well every day, and my mood was cheerful and my blood circulation was smooth, my blood would definitely not be like this!"

Shen Lingjun sneered: "Should I make you move into the palace, eat ginseng and bird's nest every day, and be surrounded by beauties to serve you? Would that make you comfortable?"

She was already extremely irritable, and her murderous intent towards Qin Shaoze had reached its peak.

He probably didn't lie to her, but using her son's life as a threat, attempting to leech off her to achieve his own wealthy and comfortable life, was enough to make her want to stab him to death!

Qin Shaoze retorted confidently, "Then what can you do? I've already said that only when my body recovers can I be detoxified. You're still not satisfied with this or that..."

Just then, Qin Chuyao in the inner room suddenly let out a low groan.

Shen Lingjun rushed in and saw that Qin Chuyao was in abdominal pain again, clutching his stomach, curled up tightly, and covered in sweat.

Shen Lingjun was extremely anxious and said to Qin Shaoze, "I'll try drawing blood again!"

If the poison isn't neutralized soon, Qin Chuyao really won't be able to hold on for much longer!

Qin Shaoze also entered at this moment, and frowned when he saw Qin Chuyao's appearance.

"My blood isn't inexhaustible, and you're going to drain it all! This blood was just drawn; if it doesn't work, it doesn't work. Why waste your time?"

Shen Lingjun retorted angrily, "So, you're useless just because you didn't work? What's the point of keeping you around then?"

Qin Shaoze retorted sharply, "Isn't it all because you didn't properly prepare my body? Instead of wasting your time here, you should be thinking about how to make me feel better so my blood can have any effect..."

Before he could finish his sentence, his head hit the ground.

His body paused for a moment, then a large amount of blood gushed out of his cavity like a fountain, before he fell straight down, splattering blood all over the ground.
