Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 434

Chapter 434: Chapter 423: Awakening

Shen Tang looked at him puzzled, "What’s this have to do with you?"

Qiu Yang seemed to understand something, clutching his head, his eyes filled with red streaks, remorseful and painful, "That arrow at the volcano back then, it was me who shot it... Originally, according to the plan, the arrow was supposed to hit you, but unexpectedly, Your Majesty blocked the arrow for you..."

Shen Tang’s eyebrows moved slightly, her expression cooled, and she spoke faintly, "I knew about it long ago. This was a golden cicada escape trick you all conspired. There’s nothing to be said about it."

"...You think Your Majesty deliberately acted a self-sacrifice drama for you to see?"

"Isn’t it? He can conveniently fake his death and escape, leaving behind the impression of a white moonlight in my heart, ensuring I never forget him my entire life." The matter of saving lives is one thing, deception is another, Shen Tang’s tone grew colder as she spoke.

"Your Majesty originally intended to fake death and escape, but that arrow wasn’t part of his plan." Qiu Yang bitterly laughed, "How could someone as smart as Your Majesty gamble with his life? If that arrow had really struck his vital point, he might have truly lost his life!"

Shen Tang was silent for a moment, unsure of what to say, murmuring, "But he didn’t die."

Qiu Yang’s breath suddenly deepened, his voice hoarse,

"What if Your Majesty did die once."

Shen Tang looked up at him in shock, "What?"

Qiu Yang’s expression became more pained and regretful, wishing he could commit suicide to apologize, "It’s my fault, I was too stubborn and foolish. I always thought, Your Majesty absolutely couldn’t fall in love with a foreign female. Back then at the volcano, I could see Your Majesty had feelings for you, so I rashly shot that arrow."

"I didn’t expect Your Majesty would truly block that arrow for you, and even more unexpected, that arrow would pierce his heart!"

"When we came out from the volcano, Your Majesty was severely injured and unconscious, his breath extremely weak, to the point I... I could hardly feel his life signs." Qiu Yang’s voice choked with tears, unable to hold back, "Fortunately, with the Blood Soul Pearl left by the late Emperor, Your Majesty managed to survive."

"Back then, I felt incredibly guilty, but thought once Your Majesty recovered, there’d be no major issue. Moreover, although the Blood Soul Pearl left to Your Majesty by the late Emperor was used, Your Majesty still had his Essence Blood protecting him, no one could hurt him."

Qiu Yang looked at Shen Tang, his expression complex, "But I never imagined, Your Majesty would return the Blood Soul Pearl he refined to you, and now Your Majesty’s heart lacks the protection of Essence Blood, vulnerable in case of severe injury, he might really lose his life!"

Speaking, he began to mutter to himself again, painfully self-blaming, "...No wonder the Imperial Physician said Your Majesty’s body has never fully recovered, it’s all my fault, I hurt Your Majesty..."

Shen Tang was silent for a long time, lost in thought.

So, Shen Li really did die once.

The system’s judgment wasn’t wrong, at that time his life signs really disappeared, declared in a state of death. Had it not been for the Blood Soul Pearl left by the late Emperor, he might have lost his life back then.

She detected the old wound on Shen Li’s heart, likely left from that time.

A heart without Essence Blood protection is as fragile as paper, if severely injured again, he might really be irreparable.

Suddenly, Shen Tang recalled that night at Zhuoxiang Hall, she had stabbed him.

At that time, she didn’t understand, given Shen Li’s strength, it shouldn’t have caused such a significant injury, why did he appear so hurt, and surprisingly furious.

Back then, Shen Tang didn’t really mean to stab him, it was a subconscious retaliation; she felt guilty afterward but was also angered by his words, making her even more enraged and ashamed.

At this moment, Shen Tang finally understood why Shen Li was so enraged and disappointed back then.

If she’d put slightly more force that night, the Yiyuan Empire might have had to change its name by the next morning.
