Chapter 600: Threat

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Yu Niaoniao lay in bed for three days, but her condition did not improve.

At first, Shen Zhuo thought that the doctor’s medical skills were not exquisite enough. He changed several doctors for her, but it was useless.

Almost every doctor said that she had caught a cold and that it was not serious. As long as she took medicine on time and rested well, she would recover in three to five days.

But tne trutn was tne opposite ot wnat tne doctors nad said.

Not only did Yu Niaoniao not show any signs of getting better, but her illness also became worse.

This made Shen Zhuo suspicious.

He called Huan’er over and asked her carefully about her words and actions over the past three days.

Huan’er told him everything she knew.

Shen Zhuo said, “Are you saying that every time she takes medicine, she lets all of you out?”

Huan’er nodded. “Yes, Miss Yu said that she didn’t like anyone watching her when she drank the medicine, so she asked us all to go down. When I entered the house again, she had already finished the medicine in her bowl.”

Hearing this, Shen Zhuo had an idea.

He ordered someone to boil a bowl of medicine, then personally carried it into the bedroom.

Yu Niaoniao lay weakly on the bed. Her face was as pale as paper and looked very thin.

Shen Zhuo sat down by the bed and helped Yu Niaoniao up with one hand.

“Come, drink your medicine.”

Yu Niaoniao turned her head away. “Put the medicine down. I can drink it myself. ”

Shen Zhuo did not force her and followed her instructions to place the medicine bowl on the small table by the bed.

Yu Niaoniao reached out and picked up the medicine bowl, but she did not drink it. Instead, she said to Shen Zhuo.

“Get out.”

Shen Zhuo said warmly, “I’ll stay here with you. I’m not going anywhere.”

Yu Niaoniao put down her bowl. “I can’t drink like this.” Shen Zhuo smiled and picked up the bowl of medicine again.

“Let me feed you.”

Yu Niaoniao frowned. “What do you want?”

Shen Zhuo’s expression was still gentle, but his words were very domineering.

“I’ve said it before. I want you to drink medicine. You can only get better after drinking medicine.”

Yu Niaoniao pursed her lower lip. “You don’t have to pretend in front of me. I know what you want to do.”

Shen Zhuo pretended to be interested and asked, “Oh? Then tell me, what do I

want?”

Yu Niaoniao said, “You spent so much effort treating me. You’re afraid that I would die, because you wanted to know where the charred corpse went from me, right?”

Shen Zhuo asked, “What if I say no?”

Yu Niaoniao clearly did not believe him.

“Can you swear that you don’t want to know where the charred corpse went from me? That charred corpse concerns your father’s status. If you don’t find that charred corpse, you and your father won’t be at ease for a day.”

Shen Zhuo let out a long sigh, looking helpless.

‘Yes, I do want to know the whereabouts of that charred corpse, but I really want you to recover.”

The corners of Yu Niaoniao’s mouth twitched as she sneered.

“If I die of illness, you’ll never know where that charred corpse is hidden.”

Shen Zhuo frowned slightly. “It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to say it. I won’t force you. You don’t have to joke about your health.” Yu Niaoniao said, “Do you think I’ll still believe you?”

Shen Zhuo felt very powerless.

“I’ve lied to you before, but I’ve never thought of hurting you. My feelings for

you have never changed. Can’t you trust me a little more?”

Yu Niaoniao thought of the past when she was young. The memories of them being childhood sweethearts really existed.

Except that everything had changed.

She said slowly, “In my heart, the old Brother Junzhi is long dead. The person in front of me now is the Crown Prince of the Dayan Dynasty, Shen Zhuo.” Shen Zhuo’s hand trembled slightly as he held the medicine bowl.

The medicine in the bowl rippled.

He felt bitter. A deep sense of powerlessness wrapped around him, as he was clueless about what to do with the woman in front of him. He closed his eyes and suppressed the chaotic emotions in his heart.

When he opened his eyes again, they were clear.

Shen Zhuo enunciated each word clearly. “I took the risk to save you. Your life already belongs to me. Without my permission, you can’t die even if you want to.”

Yu Niaoniao turned her head away and looked elsewhere, ignoring his words.

Shen Zhuo said, “You only have two choices now. Either you drink the medicine obediently, or I’ll tap your acupuncture points and feed you mouth to mouth.” Yu Niaoniao immediately turned her head around and glared at him fiercely.

“Aren’t you disgusting?!”

Shen Zhuo was not angry at being scolded. In fact, he was a little happy.

Compared to her hopeless look, she was a little livelier when she was angry and looked more vivid.

Shen Zhuo handed over the medicine bowl and asked again.

“Which one do you choose?”

Yu Niaoniao said, “From the moment I stepped into the palace, I was prepared to die. There was no need for you to save me.”

Shen Zhuo did not like to hear her say such things.

He frowned and said, “Don’t you still want revenge? If you die, what will happen to your parents’ grudge? Are you going to give up just like that?” Yu Niaoniao said coldly, “This is my business. It has nothing to do with you.” Shen Zhuo sent the medicine bowl to her again.

“If you don’t want me to forcefully feed you medicine, drink it yourself.”

Yu Niaoniao took the medicine bowl. “I can drink the medicine, but you have to agree to one condition.”

Shen Zhuo said, “Other than letting you go, you can name any other conditions. ”

Yu Niaoniao said, “If I remember correctly, it’s the Empress Dowager’s birthday the day after tomorrow. At that time, the palace will hold a grand birthday banquet. I want to join in the fun.”

Shen Zhuo looked at her inquiringly.

“What are you thinking now?”

Yu Niaoniao looked innocent. “I’ve already been captured by you. What else can I do? Besides, there are so many imperial guards in the palace. I’m a weak woman who doesn’t know martial arts at all. I’m no match for them at all. I just want to join in the fun. I promise I won’t do anything.”

Shen Zhuo did not believe a word she said.

Although this girl did not know martial arts, she often had unexpected ideas.

Not only would the civil and military officials be present on the day of the birthday banquet, but there would also be foreign envoys. If anything went wrong at the birthday banquet, no one would be able to clean up the mess.

Shen Zhuo rejected Yu Niaoniao’s request.

“No, just stay here obediently. You’re not going anywhere.”

Yu Niaoniao pretended to pour out the medicine in her bowl.

Shen Zhuo quickly grabbed her wrist. “What are you doing?”

Yu Niaoniao said, “Since you don’t agree to my conditions, I won’t drink the medicine. Let me die of illness.”

Shen Zhuo reprimanded in a low voice, “Stop fooling around!”

Yu Niaoniao said, “Don’t you know martial arts? You can tap my acupuncture points, but I can promise you that as long as you dare to tap my acupuncture points, I’ll immediately bite my tongue and commit suicide. If you don’t believe me, try it!”

After saying that, she deliberately bit her tongue with her teeth, clearly threatening him.

Shen Zhuo was really helpless against her now.

“Father thinks you’re dead. If Father finds out that I brought you to the palace for a banquet, the consequences will be very serious.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “Then I don’t care. Anyway, I know you must have a way.”

Shen Zhuo sighed helplessly. “Alright, I’ll promise you..”
