Chapter 690: Frosty Body 2
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
All four seasons of the year were equally cold to Xia Hongjin.
He also wanted to get better, so no matter how awful the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician tasted, he would take it. He would do whatever the imperial physician said.
Xia Hongjin did not treat Liu Sanniang as a psychic. He only treated her as a doctor, and he was a patient, so Xia Hongjin trusted Liu Sanniang wholeheartedly.
Seeing Liu Sanniang retract her hand, Xia Hongjin’s eyes darkened. He lowered his eyes and asked softly, “Miss Liu, how long can I live with this illness?”
It was almost June, and half of the year had passed. It was said that summer was very hot, so hot that one had to drink cold water to relieve the heat.
However, Xia Hongjin didn’t know what it felt like. He felt that he was not supposed to exist in this world.
Having lived for twenty years, he couldn’t even tell the seasons.
Living like this was no different from death. He just had a heart that could still beat, so he was indignant and did not want to die.
He yearned for this moment of warmth Liu Sanniang gave him, but it had already slowly disappeared. What returned to him was the familiar coldness.
A crystal drop of tear fell. Xia Hongjin closed his eyes. Soon, he calmed down. Liu Sanniang was not omnipotent. Her silence already said it all, so there was no need for him to hear it.
Xia Hongjin said calmly, “Mother, let’s go back.”
Consort Shu’s face was covered in tears. She looked at Liu Sanniang and said, “Miss Liu, is there really no other way?”
Consort Shu’s heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. She wished she could use her life to exchange for her son’s health.
The fake empress was extremely vicious, and yet she had believed her for decades and was even grateful to her. The truth was too cruel. Every time Consort Shu thought about it, she felt as if her heart had been cut thousands of times.
Consort Shu looked at Liu Sanniang pleadingly, her eyes filled with tears. “Miss Liu, I’m willing to use my life to exchange for my son’s health and let him experience the changes of the four seasons and see the good scenery in the world.”
Liu Sanniang looked at Consort Shu and said calmly, “The sin on Second Prince can’t be removed. He has never harmed anyone, but this sin is planted in his body and engraved in his soul, causing him to suffer from the coldness at all times.”
Consort Shu was choked with tears. “That’s why my son can’t feel any warmth, right?”
Liu Sanniang nodded.
Consort Shu broke down and fell to the ground. “My child, he’s just an ordinary person. Why does the heavens have to torture him like this? What should 1 do? What else can 1 do?”
At the thought that her child was tortured by coldness at all times, Consort Shu felt her heart ache and she felt suffocated.
Xia Hongjin slowly squatted down and reached out to pat Consort Shu gently. “Mother, don’t be sad. This is my fate, right? Although I can’t feel the four seasons, 1 know how much you love me.”
Consort Shu cried and shook her head. “It was my fault. If not for the fact that I trusted someone I shouldn’t, you wouldn’t be in such a state.”
Su Yanyu sighed. In this world, there were some things that could not be helped.
Xia Hongjin could calmly accept the fact that he would die like this. He came to look for Liu Sanniang just to make himself give up completely.
Although he felt terrible about the outcome, he could get over it. After all, he had already expected this outcome long ago.
Consort Shu cried and looked at Liu Sanniang. Her eyes were a little red as she said, “Miss Liu, Hongjing’s life has been too difficult. I’m his mother. 1 should be suffering for him. Why is the heavens so cruel to him?”
Liu Sanniang stretched out her hand, and light gradually appeared between her fingers. She looked at Consort Shu and said, “Consort Shu, are you really willing to endure the pain for him?”
Consort Shu was stunned for a moment before nodding crazily. “Yes, yes, I’m willing. I’m willing. As long as my son can recover, I’m willing to bear all of this for him.”
Xia Hongjin widened his eyes and said in shock, “Mother, don’t be silly. This is my life. I should endure the pain myself.”
Consort Shu grabbed Liu Sanniang’s hand and said anxiously, “Miss Liu, I’ll agree to anything you say. If you want me to give up my life to help my son, I won’t hesitate. For my child, I’m willing to give up everything.”
The light in Liu Sanniang’s palm gradually entered Consort Shu’s body. She looked into Consort Shu’s eyes and said, “The coldness in Second Prince’s body can’t be removed, but it can be transferred. As long as you are determined enough, you can relieve some of Second Prince’s pain.”
Selfless love was not as easy as it sounded.
Consort Shu listened attentively and smiled. “Thank you, Miss Liu. There is finally some hope for my son.”
In this world, she was the only one who was willing to do everything for her son.
Liu Sanniang said calmly, “Your Highness, you have three days. 1 hope you can get what you want.”
There was another strange opportunity on Xia Hongjin. Liu Sanniang also hoped that he could survive.
Consort Shu cried tears of joy and held Xia Hongjin. “Thank you, Miss Liu.”
After getting what she wanted, Consort Shu did not stay any longer and returned to the palace with Xia Hongjin.
After Consort Shu and her son left, Mrs. Su wiped her tears and said, “In this world, being a mother is the most difficult, but it’s also the most selfless. For their children, mothers can do anything and are willing to do anything.”
Su Yanyu felt a little emotional. His mother had also done a lot for him.
Mrs. Su looked at Liu Sanniang and said worriedly, “Miss Liu, the Cloud Breaking Sect is a large sect. I’m afraid they won’t give up so easily.”
Liu Sanniang smiled faintly. “Thank you for your concern, Madam. 1’11 be careful.”
Mrs. Su nodded and stood up to leave.
Su Yanyu smiled at Liu Sanniang and said, “Shifu, I’ll go back too.”
Liu Sanniang nodded. The courtyard fell silent again.. Hu Yu asked curiously, “Venerable Liu, will Consort Shu succeed? What will happen if she bears the pain for her son?”
