Chapter 177 You Used Me 2
Chapter 177 You Used Me 2
In front of these powerful figures, she felt like an ant, humble and insignificant, like a speck of dust. Yi Duo'er's face was haggard, pale as snow, devoid of a trace of blood. She tilted her head weakly, forcing a few self-deprecating chuckles from her throat. "Hehehe..." The laughter echoed in the empty tent, filled with desolation and sorrow.
Afterwards, she staggered and stepped out of the tent with difficulty. At this moment, she was so confused that she had no time to care about Old Yan and his group.
Every step she took felt like she was stepping on cotton, light and heavy. Her figure was stretched out in the afterglow of the setting sun, lonely and desolate.
After Jiang Wange suffered a surge of emotions from Tian Khan, although Tian Khan was furious about her escape and was like a lit powder keg, he still couldn't bear to do anything to her in his heart.
After all, firstly, he couldn't bear it, and secondly, she knew the location of the huge treasure cave.
Tightly wrapped around her, after all, he still couldn't bear to hurt her in the slightest. In desperation, he could only send more people to guard her.
When Jiang Wange returned to the tent, he immediately caught a glimpse of Yi Duoer who was staggering out like a fallen leaf.
Her heart suddenly tightened, and without thinking, she quickly moved forward and reached out to support Yi Duoer's shaky body.
"You still have a high fever, go in and lie down to rest." Her voice was gentle as water, but it could not hide the anxiety and concern in it.
Yi Duoer just glanced at her indifferently, her eyes were empty and indifferent, like a pool of stagnant water, without any ripples.
She seemed oblivious to Jiang Wange's kindness, with only one obsession in her mind: to leave. And just at this moment, Xie Xingchen appeared quietly like a ghost.
When he saw the scene in front of him, he was extremely surprised, and an expression of astonishment and confusion appeared on his face.
He was extremely anxious and walked up to Yi Duoer without hesitation. Instinctively, he reached out to support her.
Seeing this, Yi Duoer subconsciously took a few steps back and kept a distance from him, as if he were a monster.
Then, she used up the last bit of strength in her body, raised her hand suddenly, and slapped Xie Xingchen's handsome right cheek hard!
Although she was weak at the moment and did not use much force in the slap, the crisp sound echoed in the air like thunder, making everyone around her open their eyes in shock.
Jiang Wange was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth. She quickly reached out and held Yi Duoer's hand, trying to stop her from acting impulsively again.
At the same time, she said to Xie Xingchen with an apologetic look on her face, "Prince, please don't bother with Sangsang. She is delirious with fever now."
There was obvious worry in Jiang Wange's tone. Her eyes moved back and forth between Xie Xingchen and Yi Duoer, trying to ease the tense atmosphere. Her eyes were full of pleading and helplessness.
However, Yi Duoer stared at Xie Xingchen coldly, with anger and pain burning in her eyes.
She gritted her teeth and said:
"You yourself were afraid of the infamy and were unwilling to do something, yet you asked me to do it, making me bear the wrath of the world and betray my master and ancestors. You can use me, but why did you lie to me?"
Her voice was almost choked, and her sadness and grief overflowed like a flood that broke through the dam, and her words were beyond words.
The pain in her heart was like being pierced deeply by countless sharp needles. She once thought that Xie Xingchen was her most trustworthy friend in the world, a beacon she could rely on in the darkness, but she never expected that she had been ruthlessly played around by him.
"Duo'er, I'm sorry. I just thought that after things here are settled, I will take you back. I have already told them not to hurt you."
Xie Xingchen explained with a guilty look on his face, his eyes full of helplessness. His gaze towards Yi Duoer was full of affection, yet mixed with a hint of unspeakable pain.
He knew very well that his actions would lead to such consequences, but he had never expected Yi Duoer to be so heartbroken. At this moment, his heart felt as if it was torn apart and was in unbearable pain, as if it was being gnawed by millions of ants.
Yi Duoer ruthlessly opened his outstretched hand, the action was crisp and decisive.
She nodded slightly, tears already falling quietly and uncontrollably, slowly sliding down her cheeks and dripping onto the ground at her feet, splashing tiny dust particles.
She continued to question in an extremely cold tone:
"Your presence in Jiangzhou wasn't just to assassinate An Tingfeng, was it? You should have allied with the Gu Huju tribe long ago. This war was also your doing, wasn't it? Even this plague, perhaps you were behind the scenes giving Tuoba Hong advice."
After Yi Duoer finished speaking, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. The smile was so cold that it seemed to be able to freeze the air around her into ice, making people shudder.
When Xie Xingchen heard her words, a heartbroken expression suddenly appeared on his face. He looked straight at Yi Duoer, his eyes full of shock and pain, as if he was hit by a bolt from the blue.
He didn't expect that Yi Duoer was so smart and perceptive. She could guess all this based on clues.
He felt mixed emotions, surprised by Yi Duo'er's intelligence, yet also guilty and uneasy about his conspiracy being exposed.
Looking at Xie Xingchen's expression, Yi Duoer became more certain of her thoughts.
Then, her sneer became more and more creepy, and the laughter seemed to come from the abyss of hell, making people shudder.
She slowly took a few steps back, weakly raised her hand and pointed at Xie Xingchen, saying weakly:
"From now on, you are no longer my friend, Xie Xingchen, thank you. You made me feel that I am a fool, so stupid that I have been used by you countless times. But I still don't know it. Get out..." Yi Duoer's voice was weak, but it was full of firmness and determination. Her eyes were full of disgust and disappointment, as if she was looking at an unforgivable sinner.
After saying that, Yi Duoer let him go without mercy, saying that she never wanted to see him again.
Xie Xingchen was extremely anxious. He wanted to go forward and hold her shoulders, but Jiang Wange stopped him in time.
"Prince, you'd better leave. She is emotionally unstable now. You will only irritate her if you stay here." Although Jiang Wange's tone was gentle, it was filled with unquestionable determination, and her eyes were full of protective desire for Yi Duoer.
Xie Xingchen was helpless. He knew that his presence would only make Yi Duoer more excited. He could only say firmly:
"After I finish dealing with things here, I will definitely take you back, whether you like it or not. You must keep an eye on her for me! If anything happens to her, or if she disappears, you will all die!"
There was a hint of majesty and dominance in his voice, and his eyes revealed his concern and persistence for Yi Duoer, as if declaring his determination.
"Yes!" The five soldiers lowered their heads and responded in unison. Their voices echoed in the air with a hint of awe and fear.
After saying this, Xie Xingchen turned around and resolutely left. His back looked somewhat desolate and lonely in the afterglow of the setting sun, like an orphan abandoned by the world.
Yi Duo'er weakly grabbed Jiang Wange's arm and asked anxiously:
"Aunt Jiang, where is Xiaoran? Are Yuyao and the others okay? How are they?" Her eyes were filled with worry and concern.
Jiang Wange patted her hand gently and explained softly: They are fine. Tuoba Hong originally wanted to kill them, but Xie Xingchen saved them. But now he has gone back to work again, and Xiao Ran has a wet nurse taking good care of her.
When Yi Duoer heard this, the big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.
She breathed a sigh of relief and secretly felt fortunate. If anything happened to Xiao Ran, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life and her soul would never be at peace.
Jiang Wange asked Yi Duoer to go back and lie down, and comforted her: Fortunately, she is protected by Xie Xingchen now and is not in danger for the time being.
After Yi Duoer drank the medicine, she soon fell asleep again under the effect of the medicine.
Jiang Wange sat quietly in front of the bed, looking down at Yi Duoer's haggard face with gentle eyes, her heart full of worry.
She could see that Xie Xingchen had deep love for Yi Duoer, but became stubborn because he could not get the love he wanted.
And Yi Duoer has no interest in him, so this is destined to be an emotional entanglement with no result, it is destined to be like a moth flying into a flame, leaving only sadness.
Jiang Wange was worried that Xie Xingchen's obsession was too deep and would bring more harm to Yi Duoer, but she could do nothing.
For a moment, everyone's mood was very low, as if shrouded in dark clouds.
They blamed all their anger for not being able to escape on Qi Chao.
These soldiers fought to the death to defend Jiangzhou, but now they have become prisoners. The dog emperor of the Qi Dynasty turned a blind eye to their plight, which made them feel extremely heartbroken and angry.
Chen Sheng's heart was burning with rage, and he wanted to vent his anger on the soldiers guarding them. However, he was beaten severely in return. It was not until the evening that Yi Duoer woke up again.
Although her face was still haggard, she had fortunately recovered some strength. She first apologized to Jiang Wanyin for not only not taking her out, but causing her unnecessary trouble.
Her eyes were full of guilt and uneasiness, like a child who had done something wrong.
But how could Jiang Wange think so? She wanted to speak to comfort her, but Yi Duoer interrupted her.
"I want to go out for a walk," she said, then stood up and walked out. Her figure seemed a little lonely in the afterglow.
Jiang Wange thought that maybe she would feel better if she went out to get some fresh air, so she didn't stop her.
Yi Duoer came to Old Yan with a nervous heart. Because she was Xie Xingchen's favorite concubine, no one stopped her along the way.
Her emotions were as complicated as a tangled mess. Yi Duoer called out with mixed emotions, "Mr. Yan..."
Everyone looked over, their eyes showing worry and resentment. Old Yan came over with a hunched figure and said anxiously:
"Child, I'm glad you're okay. Why is your body so hot?" The voice seemed dry and heavy, but full of concern.
Yi Duoer shook her head and helped Old Yan sit down on the haystack. Yuyao and Azhu also came over and asked about her recent situation with concern. Their eyes were full of concern and care, like the stars in the night sky.
Yi Duoer said that she was safe for the time being and asked them not to worry. She looked at Chen Sheng and asked doubtfully:
"Brother Chen, what should we do now? Are we just going to sit here and wait for death?" Her eyes were full of confusion and helplessness.
Yi Duo'er asked this question because she was at her wit's end, and wanted to know if they had any other options. Chen Sheng endured the pain from the whip, shook his head and sighed! His face was full of helplessness and despair, as if fate had strangled him.
At this time, the woman who had first driven Yi Duoer out of the house looked unhappy and said to Yi Duoer bluntly:
"You are the best among us now. You don't have to work or serve others. Right? The favorite concubine of the Crown Prince of Dongli Kingdom!" The words were full of jealousy and dissatisfaction, as if a jar of sour vinegar had been overturned.
As soon as the words came out, Yuyao rolled her eyes at her. Yi Duoer didn't want to pay attention to her, but Yuyao vented her anger and said:
"Zhang Ruyi, if you have the guts, say it again, haha... I get it, you are just jealous of my Sangsang for being favored by the prince, so you are jealous and come to cause trouble for Sangsang in anger." Yu Yao's tone was full of sarcasm and disdain, as if she was looking at a jumping clown.
Zhang Ruyi's face instantly flashed with panic, as if someone had spoken out about her secrets. Then she became furious. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was furious because her secrets had been exposed! Her expression was like that of a cat whose tail had been stepped on, filled with anger.
She and Yuyao started cursing at each other. The three women who followed Zhang Ruyi helped Zhang Ruyi to curse at Yuyao, even saying things like Yi Duoer was shameless.
The scene was like a quarrel in a vegetable market, noisy and chaotic.
Chen Sheng, their leader, was so fed up with the noise that he roared, "Shut up, everyone! Isn't this chaotic enough?" His voice was like a resounding bell, deafening.
Everything fell silent in an instant. Yi Duoer was feeling uncomfortable due to the two internal forces in her body, so she didn't have the energy to argue with them.
At this time, she was even more annoyed than Chen Sheng. She looked at Zhang Ruyi and others with contempt and left without looking back.
Her back was like a breeze, floating away, leaving only silence and helplessness.
