Pathological Trapping - Chap 52
　Mu Jian nodded heavily.
　　”good!”
　　The old emperor really likes Mu Jian very much.
　　They were assassinated last night, and this morning, portraits of Mu Jian and Li Dezhuang were posted in the capital. A reward of 10,000 taels of gold was offered.
　　But Mu Jian was still not in a hurry. On the third day, he took Li Dezhuang’s hand, unbuttoned his clothes, revealing his healed wound, and put the knife into Li Dezhuang’s hand.
　　”Guard Li, please help me cut it open.”
　　Li Dezhuang couldn’t bring himself to do it, and almost reflexively wanted to throw away the dagger in his hand.
　　Mu Jian grabbed his wrist.
　　”Guard Li, if I return safely, my father may not punish me severely.”
　　Li Dezhuang understood.
　　The Scheme of Self-Inflicted Suffering…
　　But this is too bitter.
　　How painful this must be.
　　”I can’t do it.”
　　”Guard Li, you can do it.”
　　Mu Jian held Guard Li’s hand and slowly placed the tip of the knife against his wound, applying a little force.
　　With a “puff” sound,
　　The tip of the knife sank into the wound.
　　Mu Jian’s face changed.
　　Li Dezhuang subconsciously tried to pull his hand away, but was grabbed by Mu Jian.
　　He raised his head and smiled reluctantly, “It’s already been pierced, so it only hurts this once…”
　　Li Dezhuang gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and slowly stabbed the dagger inside.
　　He heard Mu Jian’s unbearable groan.
　　Feeling him fall into his arms.
　　Li Dezhuang patted his back soothingly, like coaxing a child.
　　”It will be over soon, Your Highness…”
　　”pain……”
　　Mu Jian’s handsome eyebrows were tightly knitted and his eyes were shining with tears.
　　”Guard Li, please kiss me…”
　　Li Dezhuang took a deep breath and lowered his head. He wanted to kiss the child’s forehead, but he didn’t expect Mu Jian to suddenly raise his head.
　　His kiss fell on Mu Jian’s lips…
　　Chapter 41 Gone
　　A carriage was hurrying along the street.
　　People on the street had no time to dodge.
　　The carriage rushed all the way and finally stopped at the gate of the imperial palace. The coachman jumped off the carriage and shouted to the guards guarding the gate, “Come and save His Highness the Ninth!”
　　The guards guarding the city gate were startled and rushed forward to help, carrying Mu Jian, whose chest was covered in blood, down.
　　The horse driver was so tired that he sat on the ground.
　　Within half an hour, the imperial concubine, the emperor, and the entire Imperial Hospital gathered in Mu Jian’s room.
　　Mu Jian was seriously injured.
　　The imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau all looked solemn.
　　The emperor stayed by Mu Jian’s bedside all the time.
　　During this period, Li Dezhuang was summoned to be questioned once, asking them what happened outside the palace.
　　According to the pre-designed script, Li Dezhuang half-truthfully told the emperor that they had been on the run from an assassination attempt.
　　Because of the fear that the assassin would come again, His Highness’s injuries had not been effectively treated and kept splitting open.
　　The emperor looked solemn.
　　He gave the token to his son in order to let him leave the palace to relax, but he didn’t expect that someone with ulterior motives would seize the opportunity and assassinate him!
　　The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation!
　　This time, Mu Jian stabbed the wound again after it had healed. Therefore, the condition was more serious than before, and the symptoms were quite dangerous. The high fever did not subside.
　　Li Dezhuang secretly lifted Mu Jian’s quilt several times, worried that he had stabbed too deep, causing Mu Jian to fall into a coma until now.
　　He was worried himself, and because of the orders from the imperial concubine and the emperor, he stayed by Mu Jian’s side almost every step of the way. He fell asleep on the edge of the bed several times, but was awakened by hearing Mu Jian mumbling in his sleep.
　　Seeing his head covered in cold sweat, I felt heartbroken.
　　It is really not easy to live in a royal family.
　　Be cruel to others and also be cruel to yourself.
　　Li Dezhuang dragged his weak body to wipe the sweat off Mu Jian’s forehead. When he touched his body, he found it was also covered in sweat. He quickly searched through the boxes to find clean clothes for Mu Jian to change into.
　　Mu Jian has always kept his clothes in good order.
　　Li Dezhuang was a little anxious when searching, and he didn’t know where his hand hit, which hurt. He lifted up the layers of clothes and took a look, and found a small box.
　　He smiled.
　　Although he raised the child, he also has his own little secrets.
　　Li Dezhuang was about to put it back, but he lost his balance and the box fell into the closet. It didn’t make any sound, but it opened.
　　He didn’t have the habit of looking into other people’s privacy. He put down the clothes in his hands, put back the things that fell out, and when he was about to close the lid, he saw three big words written in thick ink.
　　”Neuropathy……”
　　Li Dezhuang’s breathing suddenly stopped.
　　He felt himself tremble.
　　My mind went blank.
　　But after a brief blank, I remembered when I wrote these three words and the reason why I wrote these three words.
　　The man who used force on him.
　　The man who gave him the worst nightmare.
　　The man who became the dark cloud lingering in Li Dezhuang’s heart.
　　He wrote these three words to the pervert because he couldn’t bear the harassment.
　　Why did it appear in Mu Jian’s box? The answer is self-evident.
　　But Li Dezhuang couldn’t believe it.
　　How could that be?
　　Why is this happening?
　　The doubts in his heart drove Li Dezhuang to take out the things in the box one by one and look through them one by one.
　　The picture he drew.
　　Various pictures.
　　It’s all here.
　　Even those that were sold, which were obviously painted for other people, are here.
　　There was also a piece of paper, which was filled with “I like Guard Li and want him.”
　　Li De’s heart was beating like a drum.
　　He hurriedly closed the box in his hand.
　　It’s as if this box is Pandora’s box. If it’s just one step later, the last demon inside will be released and there will be no hope.
