Chapter 105: “Just as beautiful as before, the most beautiful.”
Chu Baixian closed his eyes briefly, then opened them again.
He stood still without moving.
“Unlock this thing.” Shen Zhuo pointed to the collar on his neck.
After a moment, Chu Baixian tossed him a key.
Shen Zhuo sidestepped him, unlocking the collar as he ran outside.
After Shen Zhuo’s back disappeared from his view, Chu Baixian gave a faint glance at Feng Ming’s corpse.
He picked up the communicator at his waist and tuned it to the general command channel.
“Du Xun has murdered the Imperial Second Prince’s Consort. He is hereby stripped of all duties, suspended from combat command, and the current battlefield command authority is transferred to Adjutant Ji Weishen. Du Xun is to be detained in military court awaiting trial.”
“From now on, the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Command.”
“Will be assumed by me, Chu Baixian.”
Chu Baixian walked towards the outer corridor, his heavy combat boots making a dull sound with every step:
“All personnel, first mission.”
“Use full force to capture the murderer of the Second Prince, Shen Zhuo.”
He emphasized:
“He must be brought before me unharmed.”
Chu Baixian knew the military would be in chaos.
But it would be reorganized in his hands.
After issuing the orders, Chu Baixian opened the ward door and looked at the Omega on the hospital bed:
“Xihe.”
Meng Xihe hadn’t heard any movement other than the gunshot and had been worried and afraid for a long time.
Hearing Chu Baixian’s voice, he immediately turned in his direction:
“Baixian, what happened just now? I thought I heard a gunshot.”
Chu Baixian stepped forward and placed the wig, woven from the long hair he had cut off on the table, onto Meng Xihe’s head.
Ever since Meng Xihe fell ill and cut his hair, Chu Baixian had promised that he would use his own hair to make a wig for him.
This was why Chu Baixian had kept his hair long all this time.
Meng Xihe had been sick for five years.
Chu Baixian had grown his hair for five years.
He sat by Meng Xihe’s bed, an unconscious smile on his lips:
“Nothing happened. It’s just that the gift I promised you has arrived.”
Meng Xihe touched the wig with surprise and delight.
After a while, he showed a look of regret:
“You are so good-looking, I haven’t even seen you with long hair, and now you’ve given it all to me.”
Chu Baixian gently hugged the person in his arms, slowly stroking the boy’s face:
“It was cut according to your previous hairstyle. You look much better with long hair than I do.”
Meng Xihe pursed his lips and smiled softly, a flush appearing on his pale face.
He cherished it, touching it from the crown to the tips.
It carried the scent of Chu Baixian’s pheromones.
Although an Omega’s pheromones had no effect on another Omega, Meng Xihe still felt reassured.
Meng Xihe adjusted the wig, casually tied it into a bun, and tilted his head towards Chu Baixian:
“Do I look good?”
Chu Baixian could hardly speak. His throat choked up for a long time, stagnant and bitter:
“Beautiful.”
“My Little Lotus is the most beautiful.”
Meng Xihe’s smile deepened: “Is it the same as before?”
Chu Baixian lowered his head and kissed him between his eyebrows, his lips trembling involuntarily, the corners of his eyes red as blood:
“…Exactly the same.”
Meng Xihe leaned into Chu Baixian’s arms, quietly feeling his body temperature.
After a long time, Meng Xihe’s soft voice broke the silence: “You can’t do bad things anymore, Baixian.”
Chu Baixian was slightly stunned:
“What is Xihe saying? I don’t seem to understand.”
Meng Xihe rose from the embrace, grabbing Chu Baixian’s hand somewhat anxiously:
“I’ll go with you. I won’t get treatment anymore. Let’s leave here together, okay?”
“I’ll go anywhere with you. Even if you are an Omega, I still love you. It doesn’t matter. Don’t do those things anymore.”
Chu Baixian pulled him away slightly, his face becoming serious:
“Who did you see?”
Meng Xihe shook his head: “This is what I’ve always wanted to tell you. If I hurt, I just need painkillers. I don’t want you to… because of me…”
“Xihe.” Chu Baixian suddenly spoke, calling the boy’s name.
Meng Xihe seemed frightened, his whole body stiffening.
Chu Baixian’s voice was gentle but left no room for argument:
“Be obedient. I will definitely take you away from here and let you live healthily. Trust me, okay?”
“But…” Meng Xihe wanted to say something but was interrupted by Chu Baixian again.
“I hope you can be well.”
Chu Baixian said with a very serious attitude, “Just get healthy properly. Don’t worry about anything else.”
Meng Xihe pursed his lips.
He turned his head away, his voice very light:
“If you are going to do those things that hurt others, I would rather give up treatment right now.”
“…” Chu Baixian fell silent for a long time.
But Meng Xihe’s firm attitude finally made him compromise.
“If you promise me to actively cooperate with the treatment, I will promise you.”
Meng Xihe immediately held out his little finger:
“Let’s pinky swear.”
Chu Baixian lowered his eyes to look at the boy’s nearly bloodless finger, his gaze dimming as he slowly hooked his finger around it.
“Pinky swear. Sealed forever. No changes for a hundred years.”
Meng Xihe finished saying ‘a hundred years’ happily, then suddenly paused.
A hundred years…
He might not even have a month left.
“What’s wrong, Xihe?”
“Promise me one thing, okay?”
Meng Xihe’s fingers fumbled for Chu Baixian’s face.
He lifted his body and gently pressed his lips against the man’s.
It was cold.
“Tell me.”
Meng Xihe couldn’t see Chu Baixian’s eyes, couldn’t feel Chu Baixian’s pheromones.
Therefore, he didn’t know that when the man, whose tone was clearly relaxed and gentle, pressed his hand against his cheek…
The pheromones in the air were oppressive and heavy.
That face, which seemed to be always smiling, revealed an expression of sorrow akin to utter despair.
Meng Xihe felt he must be very selfish.
But he truly wanted to be selfish just this once.
“Remember me… Baixian, don’t forget me.”
Chu Baixian lowered his lashes, and tears fell onto his clothes.
“Okay.”
In this ward where sunlight and wind couldn’t penetrate, this was the only vow warm enough.
On the bedside table stood a photo frame.
Inside, a boy and a young man stood side by side.
The young man lifted his chin high in high spirits, his gaze bold and scorching, like the blazing sun of midsummer.
The boy’s waist-length hair was gently coiled up, and his pair of light tea-colored eyes seemed to hold water, his smile incredibly clean and clear.
On the position of the boy in the photo frame, a crack had appeared.
.
As Meng Xihe said, there were fifty or sixty people in the underground facility; avoiding them wasn’t difficult.
But as he neared the exit, he heard the order to capture him coming from everyone’s walkie-talkies.
Shen Zhuo’s body hadn’t recovered yet, and the strength in his limbs wasn’t enough to fight so many people.
So when he was surrounded at the exit, Shen Zhuo turned around slowly.
His bright black eyes scanned everyone’s faces one by one.
The boy moved extremely fast, his figure agile and sharp.
Before the people behind could see clearly.
The people within five meters in front of him had already collapsed in heaps.
The boy’s eyes were bloodshot, his palms covered in blood.
On that blood-spattered face, there wasn’t a hint of hesitation in his black eyes.
Shen Zhuo was inherently a perfect killing machine.
He hadn’t acted before simply because he lacked a complete reason.
But now, the will to survive severed all concepts binding him.
He would show no mercy.
With this move, the others dared not act rashly.
They didn’t dare to fire the guns they held.
No one dared to disobey Chu Baixian’s orders.
After all, right now, Chu Baixian represented the Queen.
This, however, gave Shen Zhuo an opportunity.
As he retreated and the crowd advanced, Shen Zhuo activated his oppressive pheromones.
In the narrow passage.
S5 Epiphyllum oppressive pheromones exploded outward with Shen Zhuo at the center.
Even if suppressed severely, S5 pheromones were an insurmountable chasm for others.
Almost instantly, everyone could only kneel on the ground, clutching the back of their necks and wailing, blood flowing from their mouths and noses.
Forcibly using gland power to suppress everyone was a desperate measure.
But Shen Zhuo had no other way.
Time was running out.
On the last step out of there, the boy clutched his chest and spat out blood.
When he climbed out, he was in the back garden of the Royal Palace.
Shen Zhuo wiped the blood from his lips with the back of his hand.
Stumbling along the familiar path towards the outside.
His vision became increasingly blurred, and all scenery dimmed.
His mouth was full of the taste of blood.
Suddenly, a slender hand gripped his arm firmly.
Shen Zhuo subconsciously wanted to strike back, when a voice exploded in his ear.
“Shen Zhuo? Why are you here… What happened to you? Are you injured? What’s going on!”
So noisy…
It was Fu Qishang.
Shen Zhuo lifted his eyes with difficulty.
He could only see Fu Qishang in a gorgeous formal suit, back against the sunlight, his expression unclear.
Seeing that Shen Zhuo couldn’t speak, Fu Qishang looked behind him.
There was an open tunnel in the flower bushes leading downwards, and no one had crawled out yet.
Seeing this, Fu Qishang ripped a gem off his sleeve and stuffed it into Shen Zhuo’s hand.
“My driver is at the side gate. Let him take you away from here. I’ll deal with them!”
Before Shen Zhuo could speak, Fu Qishang activated his ability [Gravity Manipulation], raising his hand above the tunnel.
His golden hair was dazzlingly brilliant in the sunlight.
“I am Fu Qishang of the Prince Yile family!”
“Everyone, stand down!”
……
“Madam… Madam?”
Shen Zhuo opened his eyes to see An’s anxious expression.
Shen Zhuo got up from the bed, finding his body surprisingly light.
The effects of the injected drugs had completely disappeared.
The state of his gland was even better than before.
Realizing something, Shen Zhuo turned his head and indeed saw the empty shell of the S5 healing agent bought at the auction.
“That’s great, Madam… You’re finally awake!”
An almost wept with joy.
Shen Zhuo had no time for anything else, “How is Du Xun?!”
“Commander Du… Oh, he is no longer the Commander.”
Fu Qishang’s voice came from outside the door. The blond Omega leaned against the door with his arms crossed:
“He escaped. Everyone is trying to catch him.”
Fu Qishang raised an eyebrow:
“Do you want to see it? Your husband’s wanted poster.”
Shen Zhuo ignored him and looked around first:
“Is this… Hundred Dreams?”
An nodded: “Yes.”
But Shen Zhuo remembered Chu Baixian had issued an order for his arrest. If he was at Hundred Dreams, it should have been surrounded long ago.
Just as Shen Zhuo was about to lift the curtain, Fu Qishang said: “There’s no one outside.”
Shen Zhuo frowned.
“Because Ai Li and Liang Yeta are blocking those people outside your manor.”
Fu Qishang walked to Shen Zhuo’s side, looking at the quiet Hundred Dreams garden. “You know, their lives are very valuable.”
“Valuable enough that until the Queen gives the order, no one will come in.”
“So—Shen Zhuo, what exactly did you do?”
Shen Zhuo looked indifferent as he answered Fu Qishang’s first sentence:
“I killed Feng Ming.”
Visibly, Fu Qishang’s expression changed from calm to shocked.
Fu Qishang: “…”
Fu Qishang: “Who?!”
Shen Zhuo bit his knuckle, looking down in thought.
Chu Baixian was in the same camp as the Queen and had already issued a warrant for his arrest to the military.
Yet the Queen wasn’t taking any action now…
This wasn’t right.
Rather than saying the Queen didn’t know he had escaped, it was more likely that she was waiting for a specific moment.
He understood the Queen.
All the Queen’s actions had a purpose.
I’m afraid that from the very beginning, when she agreed to Feng Ming and Xun Qing’s marriage, she had already anticipated the current situation.
So, what is she waiting for now??
“Hey, Shen Zhuo, are you listening to me?”
Shen Zhuo’s eyes flashed.
He immediately pushed Fu Qishang towards the door: “Leave here, quickly. Go out and tell Ai Li and Liang Yeta not to guard this place anymore.”
Fu Qishang clung to the door frame: “What are you doing?! Will you only be happy when you’re surrounded and captured?!”
Fu Qishang was about to curse.
But he saw the boy’s eyes, like obsidian, still shimmering in the dim vision.
“I already know the solution.”
“Trust me.”
