Love System: Changing Destinies 15 First Love: Mo Xue 13

Jae, focus! Don't faint now! Don't faint! Endure it! Think of happy thoughts! Happy thoughts!

"Host, do you need some painkillers?"

"No!"

h.e.l.l no! Even if the pain is greater than before I would never get another painkiller. Why waste hard earn points for something that will never work. If I'm not wrong, I only have around 150 points, give and take a few. That is not even enough to get the best painkiller.

So, no, thanks.

"My dear, don't hold yourself. You can scream if you want."

I snap my eyes open, when I heard a worried, husky voice sounded low next to my ears. I don't even realized the Prince have move next to me, crouching on the floor to look at me. I keep biting my lips, trapping all the screaming inside as I shake my head at him.

"This Prince is sorry."

I let out a small smile, while still trying to contain the pain. What seems to last like a thousand years, it was only a few minutes. The piercing pain heighten again as I can feel the needles being pulled out, slowly. Unconsciously, I grab the nearest thing next to me, which is the Prince's hand.

I'm on the verge of breaking down when all of the sudden the Prince kiss me. Like really kiss me. He tug my lips open, sucking the lower part, as I can taste the metal tang of blood. All my suppressed scream is being swallowed by his kiss.

A moment later, I black out in his arms.

----------

The whole court can see the courage shown by the delicate ger. Droplets of sweat starts to form on the ger's forehead, but not once he scream, not even a pip. Some of the courtiers heart breaks seeing the ger trying to suppress the pain, by biting his lips, making the luscious lower lip bleeds.

The Prince's heart bleed the same way, seeing his newly wedded Consort suffering. Trying to lessen his pain, he captures those tortured lips, urging the ger to let out his scream inside him.

As soon as the needles were pulled out, the pale ger faint in the arms of his husband. The Prince's aura change for the worse. Without waiting for the Emperor's permission, he scoop up his bride and rush out from the hall.

The physicians were stunned, dumbfounded and simultaneously turn their gaze towards the Emperor, who only chuckles at his son's act. He give the physicians a small nod, signing them to continue their task.

All of the physicians step back into the center of hall, stepping up to a table that have been brought out by the palace attendants. In full view of the court, the physicians conduct their search and experiment, until the head share a glance with the rest. A cloud grim flash across all of them, indicating that whatever they have found, will not be good.

"Your Majesty, we are ready to share our findings."

Meanwhile, our poor ger is still unconscious, laying in husband embrace, as the Prince rush out from court and rush their carriage home. He still carries his bride as he step inside his courtyard, in plain view, making the servants gossips their finding to their masters, the concubines in His Highness's harem.

"That insolent brat. Just a mere ger and he wants to control the Prince. Looks like he haven't learn his lesson, huh?"

A lady dressed lavishly in shimmering yellow dress is lounging on the day bed, frowning her displeasure as she utters this. This beautiful yet haughty lady is none other than Concubine Shen, the youngest daughter of the Minister of Work.

Concubine Shen is the most cunning of them all. Despite her soft and polite appearance, her heart is as rotten as dirt. She never handle anything by herself, not even letting her maids to do the deed. In fact, everything that had happen to the poor ger, come from her. She would manipulate the rest of the concubines, giving them hints and let her maids to guide the other's maid to attack the ger. By doing this, she manage to eliminate a lot of obstacles without even lifting a finger.

"My lady, we have to proceed cautiously after this. Concubine Ning and her maid had already been detained. I'm afraid the other concubines would also be suppressed by His Highness."

"You're right. After this, n.o.body would openly attack the ger. We'll wait. Find some opening to get rid of him. If we can't get insiders to do the deed, get outside force. Hmm... go tell my father about this. Ask for his opinion."

"Yes, my lady."

----------

"Host, it seems like Concubine Shen is making her move."

"Who?"

Right now I'm being transported back to my s.p.a.ce. You would think that if I faint, I would no longer feel any pain, but, no! It's seems like whenever I faint I would be transported back, and suffer it all on my own. Argh... is this a plot to make me buy those painkillers? My system is cruel.

Right now I'm laying on the floor, trying to suppress the pain on the sole of my feet while listening to my system's report on who Concubine Shen is and what she's planning.

"Ah, the legendary green tea n*itch. Hmm... Zero Three, can you help me with something?"

"What is it, host?"

I don't really have a plan to handle all of those concubines on my own so I asked my system to gather any evidence that might have left from before. Fortunately, my system agree with it.

"What would you do with all this, host?"

"Find a proper time to let the Prince know. I mean, Concubine Ning's fate is pretty much sealed and will be serve as an example for those who wants to attacke, but, the rest of them might retaliate in silent. And that Concubine Shen, hmmm... can you alert me when they got a new plan?"

"I will, host."

"Thanks."

I slowly close my eyes as I got drifted away from the s.p.a.ce when my feet didn't feel like it's hurting anymore. A few moment later, I woke up in my room. I glance down as I can feel some movement on my feet and I saw a certain prince is wrapping my feet up. His head is bowed low, concentrating on the task.

Ah, I'm touched. Hubby, why so handsome?~

"Xu-Xue Er."

I love how his name rolled out from my tongue. He immediately looked up and I can sense I flash of relieve shown across his eyes. He instantly slide up to me and get me in his arm, crushing my body, tight.

"Xue Er?"

"I'm sorry, my dear. I vow, I would never let anyone hurt you anymore."

His declaration bring warmth to my heart but at the same time it pained me. Sigh, can I really accept his love, knowing that I will leave him later? Whenever I read those transmigration novels, I would always think it's sad to leave behind your loved one. Even if, in those novel, their loved one seems to follows the MC world hopping, can I believe that it will be same too in my case?

I mean, me being here for the sole reason of saving him. Yes, saving him by changing destinies. That's my responsibility. But...

I let out a silent cry, as I snuggle within the Prince's embrace. Let's just cherish this moment, no matter how long or short it will be.
