Princess, Spare My Life - Chapter 2

Chapter 2: To Transmigrate into a Female Prince Consort

Emperor Mingda of Dayan’s reign, eleventh year, late spring.

An incessant noise entered Yuan Shang’s ears, awakening her from a half-asleep state.

What was going on?

Using her instincts as a hitman, she sensed that this place was very peculiar.

Before losing consciousness, she received a large request from the organization. So she went off to assassinate a person from a secret research institute and steal a computer microchip. Just as she entered the base, the female boss of their ‘Black Fingerprint’ organization sent her a message saying that they had already disarmed the central bomb for her. While her mind was distracted for a moment, she accidentally made a fatal mistake—touching a hidden anti-theft device!

Afterward… What happened afterward? Apparently, she was sprayed by drugs from all directions, which caused her to lose consciousness.

She was a killer trained by the organization since childhood and was not inferior in any respect to the special forces of the military. In addition, her flexibility, or ability to adapt, was one of the best. In an unfamiliar environment, she did not dare to make any foolish movements. Instead, she controlled her breathing and gradually began to perceive the sensations on her body.

Good, there should not be any more paralyzing drugs being shot out… Was this organization arrogant enough to allow a first-class killer to roam freely?

But immediately, her spirits were lowered—she felt that her physical capabilities had severely regressed. Her reaction speed and so on were almost the same as an ordinary man’s.

From the moment she woke up to the time she finished processing, she only spent two or three seconds to finish analyzing her situation. Furthermore, her mental capabilities were quite high. Before this, she had been forced to undergo dozens of inhumane experiments by her organization. After being captured by an enemy organization, being tortured was to be expected. Therefore, she was exceptionally calm at the moment.

“All of you, do you know how to serve others?” At this moment, an awe-imposing young lady reprimanded with a soft voice brimming with dignity. While the sound was awfully frivolous, there was a strange charisma. It was as if her voice slowly flowed toward them, playing a gentle and crisp tune directly into their minds.

“Princess, spare our lives!” Several horrified voices were repeatedly raised in the room.

The young lady berated in a low voice, “Enough! Don’t make a ruckus right next to the prince consort! Zhu Yu!”

“Yes!” Not far away from her, a woman responded in agreement. It could be easily assumed that she was “Zhu Yu.” As the young lady smiled, she coldly said. “Since your servant girls have not been taking care of the prince consort properly, what use do they have? Come out and punish these servant girls by striking them with sticks twenty times!”

From a distance away, a gloomy woman replied with affirmation, “Yes!”

Calm and powerful footsteps immediately sounded outside the door, stemming from several men. These people charged in and dragged the servant girls out. Several of the servant girls whimpered and sobbed, but they did not dare to ask for mercy as their cries grew farther and farther.

At this moment, the low-spirited youngster next to Yuan Shang said, “That is enough, Your Imperial Highness does not need to be affected by this. My Lord has not yet woken up yet, therefore I request for Your Imperial Highness to please leave!”

Yuan Shang was startled—she didn’t even notice that someone was beside her!

In order to determine what was happening around her, she did not make assumptions based entirely on the ongoing conversations. Instead, she analyzed the surrounding environment using her keen senses. Utilizing her senses of taste, sound, touch, etc., she made conjectures about the situation she landed in.

However, there was clearly a person who was right next to her, yet even when that boy started talking, she still couldn’t detect his existence. It was as if he appeared out of thin air!

Also, why did they mention something about a “prince consort”? Furthermore, talking about a coma, illness, or something. Was she the prince consort they were referring to? She had already carefully examined her body and learned that her body was clearly a woman’s!

Zhu Yu angrily rebuked, “How audacious! You are a servant, so you should fulfill the duties of a servant. How dare you disrespect the princess?!”

The youngster sneered and said, “Do you even understand the duties of a servant?”

Zhu Yu was speechless for a while and was forced to take a step back from the pressure of the youngster’s powerful tone. Then, she retreated.

On the contrary to what one would expect, the young lady who was called a princess smiled softly and said, “Su Yin, why are you so angry? I only came to this palace to examine the current state of the prince consort! This morning, I visited the imperial hospital to borrow an imperial physician to check the prince consort’s condition.”

On the contrary to what one would expect, the young lady who was called a princess smiled softly and said, “Su Yin, why are you so angry? I only came to this palace to examine the current state of the prince consort! This morning, I visited the imperial hospital to borrow an imperial physician to check the prince consort’s condition.”

The youngster named Su Yin said, “Please don’t bother the hospital’s elders! My Lord’s illness is concerning his internal injuries. I have the Su family’s methods that can nurse him to health. I am afraid that Your Highness’s presence here will attract people’s attention, which would breed rumors. I also ask of Your Highness to return to your residence!”

“This princess came to see this princess’s prince consort. Whoever dares to meddle in this princess’s business?” Her words contained self-righteous anger and had the bearing of royalty. “Since the prince consort is in good health, this princess is relieved! Tomorrow, I will select several servant girls from my residence to take care of the prince consort. The current servant girls are so clumsy and stupid that it is unlikely that they would serve the prince consort properly!”

The youngster breathed erratically for a moment before returning to normal. It seemed that the youngster wished to raise an opposition but couldn’t find a reason to argue against her. 

At this moment, a faint and sweet scent assaulted Yuan Shuang’s senses, and then she felt a delicate touch. A smooth jade hand caressed her forehead. While warm and soft, cool and smooth, the hand slid from her forehead to her cheek, giving Yuan Shang the impulse to indulge in these sensations…

Was this…a sedative?

Yes, yes, it was most likely a new rumored sedative, similar to the truth serum with a light aroma that would cause people to become unknowingly fascinated!

She did not expect the technology of this research institute to be so amazing, even she was almost affected! It seemed that the space-time device she attempted to steal was the real thing. It was no wonder that the buyer had paid such an extravagant price to obtain it!

The youngster beside Yuan Shang tried to stop the “princess” from approaching her by any means possible. Yuan Shuang could not help but suspect that this youngster knew her true gender and was preventing the “princess” from coming any closer because of that. In other words, she should be that “prince consort” they were talking about. Was she a fake prince consort? 

In the end, what was going on here? What was with being the princess’s prince consort? Could it be that she was captured by the research institute and now they were putting on a performance to obtain information from her in a rather eccentric way?

Yuan Zhen inwardly sneered. Okay, if they were going to put on an act, then she would too! Since she would continue to lie down on her bed as if she were dead, who could even pry open her mouth?

And so, Yuan Shang tenaciously remained “unconscious” in bed without moving for a whole day. Originally, the condition of this body was not very good, but later, it became really difficult to force herself to stay in an unconscious-like state!

Fortunately, the prince consort’s residence had many precious medical ingredients as it seemed that the “prince consort” did not just fall ill once or twice. The servants here were used to the prince consort being ill as they prepared ginseng soups and elixirs. Eventually, they kept on using one thing after another to help Yuan Shang get better and she was not able to starve herself to death with the influx of food!

“My Lord, have you awakened?”

Yuan Shang was afraid of the consequences of confronting this youngster. She did not dare to leak any killing intent from her heart, so she could only act weakly and without strength. Since this youngster was still here, how could she wake up? She was still pretending to be unconscious!

When the youngster held her wrist, he started to poke her pressure points all across her body using his finger, causing her body to sting. The sensations were stronger than an electric chair, so how could she dare not to wake up?

“My Lord, wake up! Allow your subordinate to use his internal force to nurse your arteries and veins! You slept for three days without being nursed!” The youth was around sixteen or seventeen years old. His skin was healthy and bronzed; his figure was slender and some childishness was left on his face.

“Nursing? What kind of nursing?” Yuan Shang finally figured it out. This was not her original world at all. In her previous world, where in the world would there be such an expert? It was unfathomable how he could use precious herbs worth hundreds of millions of dollars in modern society just to feed her! She remembered that she was shocked by an electrical current caused by some kind of device and fell unconscious. The device appeared to be the semi-finished space-time machine! Shouldn’t she have been sent back to the ancient era?

As the youngster listened to her, he said in confusion, “Young master, what’s wrong with you? I don’t think you are fine, did the fever fry your brain?”

Yuan Shang acted stupidly as she vacantly looked at him. She replied with a blank expression, “What are you saying? Where is this?” As if she were completely lost, she added, “Who am I?”

The youngster’s eyes widened, and then a cold light flashed past his eyes. Pinching Yuang Shang’s left wrist, he pulled her cuffs up, revealing an irregular scar. The scar was closed as if it had been a few years since it was obtained. In the speed of light, the youngster pressed down on the scar, causing a numbing sensation as if an electric current flowed through her scar.

The youngster was relieved.

Yuan Shang knew that he was confirming whether or not Yuan Shang was the original “prince consort,” so she allowed him to touch her.  In the end, she spoke in a vigilant tone, “What do you intend to do? Who are you?”

The young Su Yin appeared childish, but when it came to business, he was unexpectedly calm and quick-witted without the slightest degree of confusion. “I am the guard of the Su family. My name is Su Yin. I have been the young master’s personal bodyguard since childhood. I think you have fried your brain and lost your memories because of that, but it doesn’t matter. Don’t worry, this disease can be cured. Before, a physician from the Godly Medical Gate came twice to treat you. I will inform the master about it, but right now, I need to tell you something. You have to remember clearly, otherwise, you will forfeit your life!”　

This child was still a child. Although his way of handling things was clear and orderly, he was also extremely rigid. Suddenly, the person he was guarding lost her memories, yet he still wanted to inform the master of her family about this crisis. Was he not scared of bringing about his own demise?
