The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!-Chapter 1040 - 1038: Farewell

Chapter 1040: Chapter 1038: Farewell

But Mo Qi just adored her haughty demeanor.

He meticulously arranged the items one by one, his voice both deep and gentle as he spoke, “Yes, I am just a dog, but now that the master has ascended the throne, even I, this dog, have seen my worth rise with the tide. Now I have been promoted to imperial guard captain, commanding all the Shadow Guards.”

“Tsk!”

Hong Lian sneered coldly, her face still full of disdain.

Twirling a strand of her hair, she remained as proud as ever, “To ordinary people, you may seem noble, but compared to Chu Yihan, what are you? Dare the light of a glowworm compete with the sun and the moon?”

Mo Qi moved his lips but in the end could only give a helpless grin.

After enduring such humiliation for so long, his heart still hurt so much.

Hong Lian had never shown him any kindness, and after being imprisoned, being able to see only him, she was even more abusive.

He thought that if he heard enough scorn, he would no longer feel such anger, such rage, and such boundless heartache.

But now it seemed…

Mo Qi stood up, “Take a look. These clothes and cosmetics should last you a year. They’re all the latest styles; I bought them all for you. Wear them whenever you wish. After today, I won’t visit again.”

“What do you mean!?”

Hong Lian suddenly became tense, rushing over to grasp the iron bars, “What do you mean you won’t come back? You…”

Was he going to abandon her here?

“Hong Lian, you still care about me, don’t you? You’re also afraid of me not coming to see you, of being lonely, right?” Mo Qi’s heart softened for a moment, even shaking his resolve to take the medicine.

Hong Lian masked the panic in her eyes with a facade of haughtiness, “I’m just worried that Su Yingxue, that witch, might harm me! That she will convince Chu Yihan he has to kill me!”

“So, you are afraid of death…”

Mo Qi laughed mockingly, his heart riddled with wounds, gaining yet another.

He rubbed his chest and sighed heavily, “Well, you needn’t worry. Once the master and Your Majesty have spoken, even four horses cannot overtake their words. You won’t die, but you’ll be trapped here for life. However, I will no longer be with you.”

Mo Qi took out a vial of medicine from Su Yingxue, tipped his head back, and downed it all.

The fragrance of flowers was rich, and the taste was not at all bitter.

“Your Majesty is indeed skilled in medicine,” Mo Qi said contentedly after drinking it.

“What are you playing at? What is that fragrant stuff you’re drinking? And why say such strange things!”

Hong Lian was not unafraid; she was always calm and paranoid, and apart from towards Chu Yihan, she never revealed her true emotions.

Always disguising them.

Seeing her nonchalant appearance, Mo Qi’s eyes reddened, “This is medicine developed by Her Majesty that can make one forget their deepest affections, forget the person they’re most obsessed with. I’ve taken it.”

A faint smile remained on his lips, one that was so full of sorrow.

Hong Lian couldn’t help but curse at him, “Are you sick, taking such medicine! There’s no such thing as a potion that can make someone forget love in this world. I’ve been at the Silver Moon Pavilion for years and have never heard of such a thing! Su Yingxue, that cheap woman! What good medicine could she produce? You believe her? Worthless! Mo Qi, you worthless fool, to believe that Su Yingxue could make you forget your feelings!”

“Why shouldn’t I believe? Believe you, who trample my sincerity underfoot, who disregard it without a care?”

Mo Qi stared at her with crimson eyes.

Perhaps it was the medicine that emboldened him, “Hong Lian, you’ve loved your master for so many years, and I’ve loved you for just as long. Have you ever spared me a moment’s thought, ever held me in your heart?”
