All Worlds Beg the Villainess to Act Like a Human

Chapter 404: Chapter 404: The Abused Heroine Awakens (End)

Jing Xiyu did not want to be emperor, with so many princes waiting. He would expose the other’s plans entirely, believing the other princes would seize the opportunity.

Qiann Yan stopped him, holding the little note in her hand and set the homing pigeon free.

Ashui did not stop her, as long as she was happy, he enjoyed seeing her joyous.

”We will depart on time next month, Jing Xiyu won’t stop us.”

Ashui paused and asked, ”Does the Commandery Princess have a way?”

”I’m a star of calamity and solitude; he’s afraid to let me into the palace,” Qiann Yan explained, ”If I really enter the palace, he wouldn’t survive.”

Ashui squeezed the small note in her hand: ”Then I’ll hold off and see if there’s any news.”

That afternoon, Ashui learned that Jing Xiyu had suddenly fallen unconscious, and while cooking, his mouth was grinning so wide it nearly reached his ears.

Jing Xiyu woke up the next day, the Imperial Physician couldn’t diagnose the illness, only advising him not to overexert himself.

But not long after, he fainted again.

Almost every day he fainted once, continuously for ten days, causing panic among the people.

Could she truly be a star of calamity and solitude?

One night, Jing Xiyu was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard a loud noise, only to find a stone had fallen from the roof, leaving a large pit on the ground.

It was Ashui’s doing; if Jing Xiyu didn’t change his mind, he’d find a chance every night to drop a stone and lull him to sleep.

Jing Xiyu still didn’t believe in this force, wrote an imperial edict, and even personally delivered it to Qiann Yan, who accepted it.

Jing Xiyu saw her calm response, feeling confused inside.

For some reason, he didn’t publicize this event. However, upon returning to the palace that day, he fainted again, this time for three days, even feeling the approach of death.

She truly was a star of calamity and solitude!

Jing Xiyu sighed and sought out Qiann Yan again.

”Are you unwilling to enter the palace?”

Qiann Yan nodded coldly: ”Yes.”

”Alright, return the imperial edict to me. I can’t force you to do something you don’t like.”

Ashui snorted; he’s sick.

Qiann Yan brought out the imperial edict but showed no sign of returning it to Jing Xiyu: ”If you want to give it, then give it; if not, take it back. I’m not particularly pleased.”

Jing Xiyu understood she was angry, feeling somewhat frustrated: ”Name a condition.”

He wasn’t a fool, he quickly realized that this matter was likely related to her. This woman was exceptionally talented, yet not someone he could claim.

He compromised.

”Ashui, think about what we still lack.”

”Anything missing can be bought, as long as there are silver notes,” Ashui readily said. The Commandery Princess wanted to travel all over the mountains and rivers of Great Zhou, and who knew how many years this would take. They definitely needed more money.

With that in mind, Ashui didn’t find Jing Xiyu as detestable.

He enjoyed giving money to the Commandery Princess; how could he cut off her financial resources?

The next day, Jing Xiyu sent a lot of silver notes to Qiann Yan in exchange for the imperial edict. In front of Qiann Yan, he tore the edict to pieces, giving her a deep look.

”Actually, I sincerely wanted to bring you into the palace.”

Qiann Yan: ”I don’t like being forced by anyone.”

”I understand,” Jing Xiyu whispered, ”The antidote?”

Thinking of Jing Lingyu’s fate, Jing Xiyu still felt afraid. In fact, he thought deeper, was the master of pharmacology who appeared by his side back then pretending to be her, if not her, then one of her people.

Qiann Yan: ”There is no antidote, just be a good emperor, and you’ll be fine.”

Jing Xiyu became increasingly certain that back then, the master of pharmacology was definitely someone from her side, but who

was it?

Ashui: It was me, your grandpa Ashui.

”Well... forget it,” Jing Xiyu seemed a bit despondent, maybe he wasn’t that deeply in love with her, but he also admired her genuinely, ”I wish you a smooth journey.”

”I’m leaving!”

Jing Xiyu turned back every few steps, making Ashui snort, hurry up and roll away, stop delaying him and the Commandery Princess from exploring the mountains and rivers.
