Chapter 39: Save Her Younger Brother!

ered at will. 。For this reason, Qing Xuan decided to stay by Nangong Ye's side for the next few days. She gave Yun Sheng enough silver notes to live in an inn for this period of time. 。Although Ling R...As soon as Qingxuan finished speaking, the killer's emotions became agitated. He roared back, "How could I not want to save A Yue! It's just..."

The killer hesitated, his eyes once again filled with a dim and hopeless light.

Just now the killer's neck was raised so high, now it hangs helplessly low. 。Just like a strong shell was suddenly shattered, Yue's illness seemed to be the final straw that broke the killer's back. 。The assassin's voice trembled as he spoke: "A-Yue is six years younger than me. After our family was destroyed, I took him with me and we wandered together, relying on each other." 。If it weren't for curing his illness, I wouldn't be a killer for money. 。However, all the doctors, even the most renowned ones, who had examined A Yue said that he was beyond medical help. 。Just as the killer was lost in her melancholy and helplessness, Qingxuan suddenly interrupted her thoughts with a sharp voice. 。

Qingxuan let out a cold snort: “Now I say as long as your A Yue still has a breath, I can cure his illness”

You just don't believe me, you don't want to save him, do you What else could it be"

The assassin was provoked by Qing Xuan's words, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Qing Xuan 。

The assassin's eyes held uncertain doubt: "Can you really cure A Yue"

Clearly, all the doctors who had seen A Yue's illness said she was incurable. Even if she were capable, she wasn't a great immortal!

Qingxuan untied the thin thread that bound the mouse's limbs

The assassin was astonished to see the rat, which he had just disemboweled, run away!The rat vanished in a flash. 。

It was as if it wasn't the one that had just been cut open.

To the assassin's shocked gaze, Qingxuan stated, "Our agreement was that if I could cure A Yue's illness, you would tell me who sent you to kill my husband."

I don't want you to tell me right now. 。Whether or not you give A Yue a way out depends on yourself. 。

Then Qingxuan untied the ropes binding the killer.

The assassin, like Qingxuan had anticipated, did not immediately leave

With a thud, she knelt before Qingxuan. 。"

“Your Highness, if you could cure Yue’er's illness, Ginger Red would be willing to be your ox or horse in this life to repay your kindness!”

To do so much for her own younger brother, the woman before us is also a person of great loyalty.

" 。

Qingxuan helped Gingerhong up: "Don't worry, let's wait until your brother's illness is cured before we talk about it."

But you can tell me now, what's wrong with your brother 。"

“My younger brother...” Jiang Hong hesitated, words catching in her throat before she choked back tears. “For these years, my younger brother has been traveling with me, always moving from place to place. Before I became an assassin, we often went hungry, sometimes eating one meal and then going for days without another..." 。Even sometimes we go begging on the streets. 。He was eating tree bark with his back against me, but he gave me the steamed buns he earned, saying that he had already eaten. 。As time went on, his stomach began to feel unwell, and he started vomiting blood. He quickly lost weight until only skin and bones were left. 。The doctor said… his stomach was rotten, he couldn't live…"

By this point Ginger could say no more, she covered her face and wept. 。

Qingxuan pondered upon hearing this, remaining silent.

From Ginger Red's description, she roughly guessed that her younger brother A-Yue was most likely suffering from stomach cancer. 。Seeing Qingxuan remain silent, Jiang Hong assumed that Qingxuan couldn't save her younger brother. 。

Jiang Hong's eyes once again dimmed: "I knew all along that A Yue's illness couldn't be cured..."

Your Highness, if our earlier agreement still stands, I shall take my leave. 。Although she became an assassin for Ah Yue, assassins have their own rules and cannot betray their employers. 。Just as she was about to leave, Qingxuan's voice rang out behind her. 。

Qingxuan: "When did I ever say that I couldn't cure him I was just thinking about what kind of plan to use to treat your A Yue

" 。Ginger's feet stayed rooted to the spot. Though she had heard every word the Princess spoke clearly, when she tried to connect those words together, she didn't dare believe a single one. 。

Yet at this very moment, a glimmer of hope flickered in her heart.

In this lifetime, she would rather give up her own life than Ayue's. No matter how slim the hope, she would do everything in her power to save Ayue's life. 。Ginger turned her head to look at Qingxuan, whose expression was calm and indifferent, unlike someone who was lying. "Your Highness," Ginger said, "I believe you this time. Please save A Yue's life." 。"> and said, “There's no need to rush”After she finished speaking, Yun Sheng left. 。However, when they were about to walk out of the Taoist temple, Fu Qing stopped her. 。"Sister Ji..."Because she was ou...
