She was furious, "Drag her away and test what’s in her blood?!"
The servant obeyed and soon the result came back, "It contains components of red spider lilies."
"Red spider lilies?" Xiuxiu scoffed, "Who did this?!"
The servant kicked the bitten person, "We’re asking you, who told you to eat this?"
"It’s the state, now hospitals nationwide are asking people with Type O blood to take this."
"What?!" Xiuxiu immediately guessed who had leaked the information.
Distressed, her face almost contorted together, she covered her stomach and went to her brother.
Seeing her distressed face, Fei asked, "What’s wrong?"
"Brother, someone leaked the news. I just caught a woman with Type O blood, drank her blood and found it contained red spider lilies. She said it has been popularized nationwide for those with Type O blood to consume."
"It seems your previous actions have been exposed, even the underworld has interfered with this matter, there’s only prevention." Fei thought this was for the best, that it could help her quit, "Given this, you’ll stay calm from now on and stop drinking blood."
"Brother, it’s even harder for me not to drink."
"You’ll feel better once you get through this."
"I want to know who leaked the news!"
Fei didn’t find it surprising, "It’s normal for some people to dislike your blood drinking. What will knowing do?!"
"I know I want to kill that wretch."
"I think you need to calm down."
Xiuxiu walked to the imperial concubine’s couch, flipped over the cloth covering the corpse, and was momentarily stunned.
"Brother, after all these days, you haven’t disposed of this wretched girl’s corpse yet? You still kept it?" ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel·fire·net
At that moment, Ding Xiang’s corpse lay there, the wounds on her neck and chest were bandaged, her whole person lying there with eyes closed, her complexion pale as paper.
"I couldn’t find a proper burial site, so I just left it here."
"Just throw it away, who needs a burial site?" Xiuxiu saw the well-preserved state of the corpse, which clearly took effort, "Brother, don’t tell me you have feelings for this girl? Certainly not, right?"
"You surely don’t like her, right?"
"You sure imagine things." Fei was expressionless, "What is she that I would like her, if I liked her, would I have sent her to you to be ruined?"
Thinking about it, Xiuxiu agreed, "Then why keep her corpse? Don’t tell me there’s nowhere to bury her, I don’t buy that."
"It’s because she died because of me."
"What do you mean she died because of you? You didn’t kill her!"
"Indeed I didn’t kill her, but those people came with the intention to kill her, right? They thought the woman in my room who alone received my favor was the one I loved."
Ye Ying paused at the door, her heart skipped a beat and she dared not enter further.
"Even if she died because of you, so what, she’s just a human, dead is dead, what does it matter."
"It’s the first time I felt bad that someone died because of me." Fei’s voice was devoid of emotion, as if talking about something completely ordinary, as if it had nothing to do with himself.
Yet he said these words.
When Fei knew the group burst in to kill Ding Xiang, he was shocked.
Having captured a survivor and hearing this answer, in reality, he felt regret.
Ding Xiang hadn’t been in his room for long, but he felt the moments of bickering with her, sometimes being sharply retorted by her, weren’t too bad.
