Chapter 3 Escape from Death

The extreme coldness permeated her whole body, Meng Xiwen opened her mouth for help, and the cold lake water kept pouring into her mouth, and she could not make any sound.

The desire to survive made Meng Xiwen desperately struggle, and the desperate gaze glanced at Shangguan Bai, who was indifferent to this scene.

Was this really the man who rescued her from the beast's mouth in the paddock? Was this really the man who once promised to love her and take care of her in all his life in the letters?

Her mouth was filled with cold lake water, and she could not ask a word. After tossing a few times in the lake, she sank slowly.

As the figure of Meng Xiwen disappeared in the lake, Wen Qiulan standing on the edge of the lake and leaning on Shangguan Bai's body showed an imperceptible sinister smile, which was fleeting.

Meng Xiwen seemed to be doomed to die tonight. As long as Meng Xiwen was dead, no one would know what she had done.

Hurried footsteps not far from here sounded, and a eunuch came hurriedly, and his sharp voice rang all the way: "My King! My King! The Old Lady in the Mansion of the Primie Minister fainted from a sudden stroke, and the Primie Minister asked an understrapper to pick up the Consort late at night to see the Old Lady for the last time! "

This made Wen Qiulan tremble slightly, and Shangguan Bai, who had always been expressionless, was also stiff. He originally wanted to drown Meng Xiwen to avenge for Meng Xinwen. .

He turned to the guard next to him, "Pull her up! Let her live a few days!"

The two guards jumped into the water and pulled the unconscious Meng Xiwen out of the lake.

When Meng Xiwen woke up, more than ten days later, many things happened during her coma.

That night, the Old Lady in the Mansion of the Primie Minister died of illness in the middle of the night, and she was unconscious because she was thrown into the lake in the middle of the winter, so that she did not attend the Old Lady's funeral.

The explanation of Shangguan Bai that she could not attend the Old Lady's funeral was that she fell into the cold accidentally and was bedridden owing to the cold. Prime Minister Shu was not a fool. Her beloved daughter fell into the water and then fell into a coma during after only several hours of marriage. His thought instinctively something was hidden in it.

After seeing her unconscious daughter, he further deepened this speculation, so he wrote to the Emperor to ask him to take her daughter home for medical treatment.

King Jing, Shangguan Bai, was reluctant. He wrote and argued that he and the Consort had deep affection. Since they got married, the Consort belonged to him no matter she was alive or dead, she should take care of the Consort by himself.

The daughter who got married was like the water that was splashed out. The Emperor felt that the King Jing was justified, so he rejected the Prime Minister's request.

However, although the Emperor rejected the Prime Minister's request, he also warned King Jing to ask him to do his best to seek good medical treatment for Meng Xiwen.

When the Emperor intervened in this matter, Shangguan Bai had to give the intention of killing Meng Xiwen immediately. There would be ample time. The vicious woman who killed his beloved woman would have to be kept for being tortured. Let her live rather than die.

At this moment, Meng Xiwen opened her eyes weakly and saw the stern face of Shangguan Bai. His frightening eyes made Meng Xiwen shudder and shrank into the quilt subconsciously.

Seeing she was so terrified, Shangguan Bai laughed, "You finally woke up?"

The smile on his face was cold, Meng Xiwen felt horrible, and clenched her hands tightly.

Shangguan Baiji went to the bedside and looked down at her, "Do you know what day it is?"

Meng Xiwen shook her head. She was dizzy and weak. How did she know what day it was?

"Today is day of Xinwen's death! Today, one year ago, she was killed by you in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"I didn't kill Xinwen, she died unexpectedly ..." Meng Xiwen eagerly wanted to explain. "King, you can go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and ask the servants. I am the first and she is ordinary. We do not invade each other. She and I have always been the best sisters. I have no reason to kill her."

"No reason? The person I have always wanted to marry is Xinwen, and now Xinwen is dead. Without Xinwen, wouldn't you be able to become the Consort of King Jing naturally?"

"What?" Meng Xiwen looked at Shangguan Bai with an expression of disbelief. "King, what do you mean? You want to marry Xinwen?"
