Quick-wear flirting system: being spoiled by gods in the plane

Chapter 140 The Cold Knight of the Western Noble Family (35)

"The medicine is real, swallow it." Yu Ci only said this one sentence.

Upon hearing this, Tanasa, who had instinctively wanted to vomit, wanted to get the pill out even more.

While vomiting, he asked, "Then what are you going to do?"

“I have other ideas.” Yu Ci tapped the woman’s lips with her fingertip. “Swallow it. I have something else to ask you.”

The girl's voice was gentle, but Tanasa did not move; her expression was conflicted, and she did not respond.

However, there should be no futile solution. Yu Ci swiftly lifted the woman's chin and forcefully pressed several acupoints on her back. Tanasa frowned and groaned, forcing her to swallow the pill.

Fortunately, the pill itself was not large, and Tanasa took a few breaths and recovered.

Yu Ci patted her back: "How are you feeling?"

Tanasa assessed the situation and said, "...I don't feel anything for now."

The two chatted as if no one else was around. Across from them, Fuko coldly watched Yuci's actions, but her brows furrowed when she saw the gentle and bright smile of the woman beside her.

She had never smiled at him like that before.

"..." Nadeshiko opened her mouth, her throat dry.

After confirming that the woman was alright, Yu Ci whispered a few instructions in her ear. Tanasa, who had been smiling, gradually lost her smile, and her face suddenly turned pale.

She shook her head, begging the girl not to do that.

Yu Ci looked at her gently and patted her shoulder reassuringly.

Then, he looked at the man opposite him who had been stunned for a long time.

His pale, gentle appearance, his eyes flickering with madness, and his expression was both desolate and sorrowful.

Yu Ci half-covered her eyes, recalling a fragment of a powerful minister from an ancient world, Jing Yan.

then,

He also had a happy and fulfilling family, but his life ended with the slaughter of his entire family.

He also climbed to the highest position like a madman, taking revenge one by one on the enemies who had wiped out his entire family.

The ideals and ambitions of my youth have all turned into empty talk, my innocence has been taken away, and when I look back, all that remains is the karma of killing and the devastation.

The pain and bitterness, the struggle and despair, are etched in the hearts of those involved, and will never be forgotten in their nightmares.

That's how Jingyan was back then.

And now,
The same applies to Nadeshiko.

Yu Ci lowered her eyes, the curved blade pressed against her neck. Her tone was calm:
“I sympathize with your past; it is a pain and despair that cannot be empathized with simply by saying ‘I feel it’.”

Nadeshiko was taken aback, her bewildered peach-like eyes reflecting the girl's serene figure.

"but."

Yu Ci raised her eyes and gazed at him quietly:
"At this moment, aren't you just like the Du Kingdom, the Liu Kingdom, and other countries that stood idly by? Using your power and high position, you wantonly despise and toy with the lives of innocent people, and destroy their families."

"Fuko," Yuci said softly.

"When you inflict the same pain and despair on Lancelot as you do."

"Really, didn't you feel even the slightest bit of remorse?"

Her long, slender fingers trembled, and Nadeshiko opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a sound.

But in the next instant, a soft tearing sound rang out, peach-eyed pupils contracted sharply, and accompanied by the woman's heart-wrenching screams, the figure of the girl before her, who had committed suicide with a curved blade, slowly fell to the ground.

There was no more life.

Meanwhile, inside Duke Teren's mansion, the figure on the bed lay still as if asleep, but no one could see the slightly trembling fingertips beneath the covers.

……

Lightning flashed intermittently, and continuous rain stretched for thousands of miles.

Along the long corridor, raindrops strung together like pearls over the eaves and fell, one by one, blooming like fireworks belonging to the rain god on the ground.

Outside the palace, lanterns and decorations were everywhere, and firecrackers crackled and popped; inside, singing and dancing filled the air, and laughter never ceased. Inside the hall, beauties in splendid gowns and skirts, their eyes lowered and smiles radiant, filed in to the accompaniment of music, and began to dance gracefully in the center, their veils fluttering in the breeze.

On both sides, people were clinking glasses and exchanging toasts. Above, the handsome and gentle regent was being toasted by several people.

Too far away to hear what they were saying, Wilves silently withdrew his gaze and continued drinking, but his peripheral vision involuntarily drifted to the table closer to the higher seats, to the two figures there.

When Wilves saw Lancelot and Yuci this morning, he keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Every word, every action, every frown, every smile—the resemblance is superficial, but the spirit is completely different; not a single one of them matches the person from the past.

It was neither Lancelot nor Yu Ci.

Moreover, his blond hair and blue eyes disappeared, replaced by his Eastern appearance.

This means that the magic the girl cast on him failed.

Realizing this, Wilves tried to find Tanasa to get to the bottom of it.

In the end, it disappeared without a trace.

There can only be two reasons why all three have disappeared.

One is completely controlled after an incident, while the other is trying to cover it up and cause trouble.

"..." Wilves lowered his eyes, the wine in his mouth was warm, cold and spicy, and his throat hurt when he swallowed it.

Hopefully, it's the second one.

From her high vantage point, having just dealt with a group of shrewd individuals, Nadeshiko wore her usual gentle smile. As she lowered her gaze and flicked her sleeve, she caught a glimpse of another group of elegantly dressed people approaching with wine.

"Oh my, Your Highness the Regent!" The leading man beamed with delight, his exaggerated expression full of flattery.

Nadeshiko smiled at him, raised her cup, and replied, "Your Highness Crown Prince of Xin, it's been a long time. I apologize for the simple banquet today."

"Oh, Your Majesty, you're too kind!" The man laughed exaggeratedly, glancing around at his colleagues. "We've received your banquet invitations every year for years, and the dishes are always different and exquisite! How could it be considered crude? Hahahaha!"

The general's eldest son from a small country: "(Grinning broadly) Yes, yes!"

The prince of a small kingdom: (waving his hand) Regent, you're too kind! You're too kind!

The eldest son of a civil official from a small country: "(Cautiously glancing around) This... I wonder what kind of celestial beauty the Regent's wife must be, since she has yet to show herself."

The question posed by the figure was the same question everyone else had. As soon as he said this, everyone turned their expectant gazes toward the handsome and gentle man.

Thus, Nadeshiko still smiled warmly and said gently, "My wife is shy and doesn't easily meet people, so I hope you won't blame her."

They were all from noble families, and they all had their own little schemes. Seeing that Fuko was unwilling to say more, these old foxes looked at each other and then smiled as they accepted the matter.

Before long, the banquet was filled with singing and dancing.

The crowd that had been drinking gradually dispersed to chat and have fun, and no one bothered Nadeshiko, who was in a high position, anymore.

With a half-smile, Nadeshiko surveyed the crowd in the hall, a slight smile playing on her lips, before turning and leaving.

apse.

The bright red candles flickered, and the incense burner emitted wisps of smoke.

A beautiful woman dressed in a red wedding gown, her head adorned with red hairpins and phoenix ornaments, embraced a stiff, frail figure who lay motionless on the ground.

The palace maid who remained inside looked on with mixed feelings, bit her lip, and whispered, "Your Highness... a bride cannot leave the bed, you..." please go back to the bed and sit down.

Before he could speak, the door was pushed open.

When Nadeshiko came in, she saw the same scene as when he had just left.

He glanced at the palace maid, who lowered her head, wisely left, and closed the door behind her.

The air was filled with the faint scent of incense from the burner, and wisps of smoke drifted into the sky, some of which clung to the dragon patterns on the man's sleeves, making him appear even more imposing and aloof.

Nadeshiko lowered her eyes, brushed her fingertips across the surface, and said softly, "It's almost early autumn, but there's still some lingering heat from the summer heat."

He lifted his eyelids and looked at the figure in the woman's arms.

"If you hold her for a few more days, she'll start to smell."
