Work overtime

Chapter 681

"The antidote is available. But..." The system only said the first half of the sentence but not the second half.

Today's artificial intelligence is getting more and more powerful, and it is not much different from real humans.

"Just what? Say it quickly!"

Seeing that the system was keeping him in suspense, Jiang Yuebai became extremely anxious.

"It's just that the medicine is special." The system's tone was cold, and it returned to its human emotional state.

Jiang Yuebai had a bad feeling that this special thing must be very abnormal. Otherwise, the well-informed system would not find it so difficult to speak.

"What special method?"

"To be taken with the heart of a loved one."

The voice of Crayon Shin-chan saying this in the middle of the night is like listening to a midnight horror story, full of dark, supernatural and terrifying feeling.

Jiang Yuebai was stunned and shuddered all over. He didn't expect the antidote to be like this.

In order to survive, one must destroy humanity, betray love, kill the one you love, and eat his or her heart.

Either you suffer and indulge yourself to death, or you kill your loved one and eat him or her.

In other words, if she wanted to save Li Beichen, she had to sacrifice her own life.

Killing someone and destroying their heart is more vicious and perverted than just letting the poisoned person die directly.

She didn't know that there were many such stories in the old female stories. In order to save the male protagonist, the woman sacrificed herself, bled, cut off her flesh, liver and kidney...

I didn't know that there are many such plots in foreign countries. For example, Thanos has to collect all the energy gems and sacrifice his loved ones.

Even the antidote is so perverted. Jiang Yuebai seriously suspects that the reason why the priestess hates the Li royal family is because the emperor separated her and her lover.

Otherwise, why would a concubine who was held in the palm of the emperor's hand take revenge so viciously, not only overthrowing the dynasty but also bringing eternal infamy to the royal family?

Jiang Yuebai was covered in cold sweat, staring blankly at the outline of the room in the dim candlelight, as if he was in an ice cellar.

This priestess is really not simple. She can calculate people's hearts to the extreme.

To be honest, she was not sure whether Li Beichen would kill herself to cure her illness after knowing the truth.

She didn't dare test people's hearts because they couldn't stand the test.

Tears kept flowing down, and she covered her mouth to stop herself from crying out loud.

Just like the day I learned the news of my father’s tragic death, I was overwhelmed with grief and my heart ached like a knife.

Although her sobbing and snotting were very quiet, Xia Zhi still noticed them.

"My queen, are you awake?" she asked in a low voice, fearing that her voice would be too loud and startle her master.

Jiang Yuebai sniffed his nose and choked up as he said, "Bring me some paper."

She wiped her tears, but the more she wiped, the more tears came, and her shoulders trembled.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" Xia Zhi asked hesitantly.

"It's okay." Jiang Yuebai lowered her eyes, tears as big as beans falling one by one.

Xia Zhi felt distressed when seeing this.

"Your Highness, please take care of yourself. Being too sad is not good for the little prince. I will go and get you a cup of hot tea."

Xia Zhi ran out in a hurry to report to Luo Shan and Chun Sheng who were on duty. Chun Sheng and Xia Zhi returned to their room, while Luo Shan went to find Xing Su Su and Li Chun.

After returning to the house, Jiang Yuebai asked Chunsheng to ask the imperial physician. She felt a little uncomfortable and tight in her stomach.

Xia Zhi panicked when he heard this, and turned around in a panic. On the contrary, Li Chun, who arrived later, calmly wiped Jiang Yuebai's sweat, fanned him, and comforted him softly.

With Lichun's company, Jiang Yuebai felt much more at ease. Lichun's simplicity and calmness made people feel at ease.

The two doctors on duty came quickly after hearing the news. Jiang Xian lived outside the palace, so it would take some time for him to get here. After hearing the news, Li Beichen also rushed over.

Jiang Yuebai looked pale, and Li Beichen held her hand, feeling very distressed.

"How is Concubine Ning?"

"Your Majesty, Concubine Ning was too worried, which caused her miscarriage. She should rest and reduce her worries. I will go back to the Imperial Hospital to get some medicine now."

"Go back quickly."

Li Beichen waved away everyone and held Jiang Yuebai's hand tightly.

He regarded Jiang Yuebai as the only person he could confide in and rely on, and told her everything, but he forgot that Jiang Yuebai was a pregnant woman and did not consider the impact of those negative and pessimistic words on her.

Li Beichen felt extremely guilty, "I'm sorry, Jiaojiao."

Jiang Yuebai smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, I just had a nightmare."

Li Beichen smiled bitterly, "I know you are worried about me."

Jiang Yuebai felt the piercing pain again, tears welled up in her eyes, she forced a smile and said in a nonchalant manner, "Alas, I feel sleepy again. Your Majesty, would you like to sleep with me?"

"Then let's sleep together." Tears welled up in Li Beichen's eyes.

Li Beichen ordered people to turn off the lights and lay down beside Jiang Yuebai without hugging her.

Neither of them fell asleep, but neither of them spoke.

Both of them were lost in memories, and the past scenes flashed through their minds.

In the darkness, Li Beichen reached out and grasped Jiang Yuebai's hand, holding it tightly but feeling powerless.

"Jiaojiao. I know you are worried about me. I can't bear to leave you either."

Jiang Yuebai turned sideways and looked at Li Beichen, who was looking at her from the side, and murmured, "I'm afraid you will leave me."

When Li Beichen heard this, he was delighted and smiled with tears in his eyes, "This is enough."

The person in front of me is like a bright pearl. As long as she is around, my heart is filled with joy.

Sometimes I think to myself, even if Jiang Yuebai doesn’t love him, it’s not bad for her to be by his side as a couple and a confidant.

"Jiaojiao, I love you." He couldn't help himself.

Jiang Yuebai's tears welled up again. She felt particularly emotional and vulnerable tonight.

Li Beichen slowly comforted Jiang Yuebai: "Perhaps people always have to say goodbye. Sooner or later. Jiaojiao, I want to cherish this last time. When I'm with you, I'm always very impulsive. I'm afraid that my desires will control me and accelerate the onset of my illness, so I deliberately distance myself. These days, I've been pure and have a calmer mentality. I want to see our children with my own eyes, kiss them, and hug them."

Jiang Yuebai nodded, got into Li Beichen's arms, and leaned on his chest, "I know."

His heart was beating so loudly that it was deafening in Jiang Yuebai's ears.

For the first time, I felt my heart beating so full of life.

"what are you doing?"

"I'm listening to your heartbeat."

Li Beichen gently hugged Jiang Yuebai and kissed her hair, his heart filled with happiness and melancholy.

The two fell asleep in each other's arms. The next day, the news that Jiang Yuebai had abdominal pain in the middle of the night and sent a doctor to see a doctor spread throughout the harem. Many people gloated and thought that she might have a miscarriage.

In everyone's eyes, Jiang Yuebai was a disabled person, so it was normal for her to have an abortion. Not having an abortion was a miracle.

When Concubine Yi heard about it, she wanted to come over to visit in person, but Mo Yu stopped her. She took out the letter Jiang Yuebai had sent. After reading it, Concubine Yi felt relieved when she knew everything was fine.

After thinking about it, she felt that Jiang Yuebai must be so sad because she missed her relatives in the middle of the night, so she wrote a letter, asking her not to worry too much, and to take good care of herself and the children, so that her parents in heaven would be at ease.

After Jiang Yuebai received the letter, she was reminded of the person and burst into tears again while holding the letter.

She didn't know what was wrong with her. She felt so tearful today, as if she could never stop crying. She knew that the dead could not be resurrected, and she knew that she had to accept things that could not be changed, but she just wanted to cry.

At dinner time, Li Beichen came again. It was the 13th day of the seventh lunar month. In the morning, Liang Xiaobao said that today was Jiang Yuebai's birthday and he had been preparing for it.

Li Beichen ordered someone to send over a bunch of dishes and a small cake.

"I specially celebrate your birthday today. Please try the cooking of my exclusive royal chef."

The dishes on the table were all Jiang Yuebai's favorite Jiangnan dishes, and she also made a black pepper steak.

If Li Beichen hadn't reminded her, Jiang Yuebai would have forgotten that today was her birthday.

Li Beichen kept looking at her with deep love, which made Jiang Yuebai's scalp numb and she couldn't eat anymore. She didn't know why Li Beichen suddenly became so clingy.

"Where did this cake come from? This is a Western pastry. It was not popular to eat this in ancient times." Jiang Yuebai asked puzzledly while looking at the cake on the table.

Li Beichen said proudly, "As for the imperial chef, just tell him roughly. It's a piece of cake to make this. He's the best chef in the country. He can make anything you want."

Jiang Yuebai couldn't help but sigh, "It's so good to be an emperor. No wonder everyone wants to be an emperor."

Li Beichen smiled and asked, "So you want to be the emperor too?"

Jiang Yuebai looked at Li Beichen with a smile, "I want to be the queen mother. I wonder if there is such an opportunity?"

"I'm sure."

Jiang Yuebai smiled and raised his teacup, "Then it's settled."

"It's settled." Li Beichen raised his wine glass.

"No regrets."

"No regrets."

The two clinked their glasses.

After dinner, Li Beichen pushed her wheelchair for a walk as usual and helped her practice walking on a flat surface.

When they reached a pavilion, Li Beichen helped her sit down. Then he knelt on one knee and took out a small red box. When he opened it, he found a diamond ring inside.

"Jiaojiao, I want to propose to you today. Will you marry me?"

Jiang Yuebai didn't expect there would be such a proposal today, and was completely stunned. This is ancient times.

Li Beichen asked again, "Are you willing?"

Jiang Yuebai thought for a moment and said, "Marrying you means I will be your legal wife."

"I know. It means to make you the queen." Li Beichen's tone was calm.

The good news came too suddenly, and Jiang Yuebai was a little hesitant. "This will probably cause a lot of resistance."

Li Beichen showed the ring and said with a smile, "Just answer yes or no. Leave the rest to me."

He looked at Jiang Yuebai expectantly, his eyes full of determination and affection.

"I, I am willing. How could I not be willing?" Jiang Yuebai stuttered, a pink flush on her face.

Li Beichen solemnly put the diamond ring on Jiang Yuebai's finger and said, "Then you have to promise me that you will marry me when you return to the modern world."

Jiang Yuebai was a little surprised. How could he guarantee this? Who knew what would happen in the future?

Li Beichen took out a pair of gold rings, put them on Jiang Yuebai, and then asked her to put them on him.

Jiang Yuebai asked desperately, "What if I go back in time and become a man?"

Li Beichen said slowly, "As long as you dare to marry, I will marry you."

He raised his hand with the ring on it and waved it in front of Jiang Yuebai.

"Is this true? You have such a heavy taste. Can't we just be brothers?" Jiang Yuebai felt that his three views were completely destroyed.

"It's not your body that I like, but you as a person. As long as the soul is still you, whether the body is male or female, it's just a change of shell." Li Beichen's tone was calm, so he listened very seriously.

Jiang Yuebai asked again, "So you don't like my body?"

"This. If you want to know. I can prove it to you right now."

Li Beichen stood up.

Okay. It's really a death wish. It's too shameful to watch.

Jiang Yuebai blushed and turned her head away.

Li Beichen forced her head to straighten up and face him. "Did you see clearly? Will you ask such questions again in the future?"

Jiang Yuebai admitted his fear, "I won't dare to do that anymore. You are awesome."

Hearing the words "You are awesome", coupled with Jiang Yuebai's embarrassed expression, Li Beichen exploded even more, pinching her little face and saying fiercely:

"You are such a flirtatious little devil. Do you know what you are talking about?"

"How did I flirt with you?" Jiang Yuebai asked in confusion, "Isn't it just to say that you are awesome? Is praising you not enough?"

Li Beichen fiddled with it helplessly, "I really want to punish you now."

Jiang Yuebai felt very innocent.

I thought to myself, you can’t control the parts well, and you blame me?
Li Beichen was too lazy to pay attention to her. He sat on a stone bench beside him and silently recited Π n times before he got it done.

During the whole process, Jiang Yuebai was shaking her fingers, admiring the diamond ring on her middle finger that was sparkling in the moonlight. It was a classic style with a large diamond, at least one carat, crystal clear, and very large, which was really beautiful and cool.

The two rings on her hands made her feel like her afterlife was truly bound.

It feels weird.

Just like they got married today. She is the wife and he is the husband.

In Li Beichen's eyes, Jiang Yuebai loved her deeply and, like him, hoped to be together in the next life.

He stroked the ring on his ring finger, his face full of a happy and satisfied smile, and for some reason, he also felt a little excited and shy.

I thought to myself, if Jiang Yuebai discovered the words inside the ring one day, would he be very touched?

On the way of pushing Jiang Yuebai back, the two of them did not have the passionate affection like other young couples who exchange wedding rings. Instead, they were embarrassed and nervous like a couple having an affair.

Jiang Yuebai couldn't help laughing when he thought of this.

Li Beichen thought of this and laughed.

The two of them have an amazing chemistry.
