Chu Jinling created a commotion. âi donât want a secondary consort! 1 want to marry Sisi! Mother, are you going to help me plead with Father?â
He pouted with a serious expression, resembling a child throwing a tantrum.
Noble Consort Xiao sneered. âNo! i am too lazy to make this trip. Moreover, the Xiao family has already chosen a candidate for imperial consort. Once your father issues an imperial decree, youâll marry a Miss from our Xiao family as the imperial consort. Only then will the Xiao family prosper forever!â
âI donât want to!â Chu Jinling sat down in front of Noble Consort Xiao.
He grabbed Noble Consort Xiaoâs well-maintained hand. âi donât care how great the Xiao familyâs Miss is. I want Sisi! Immediately!â
âDonât touch it. Iâve just done my nails,â Noble Consort Xiao said in annoyance, withdrawing her hand.
âMother, Iâm not joking. Sisiâs life is in grave danger. She can only be at peace with fatherâs imperial decree. I want her to live well. Even if sheâs disfigured, I want to marry her and love her for the rest of my life!â Chu Jinlingâs eyes grew deep, like an unmeltable puddle of thick ink.
For a brief moment, Noble Consort Xiao was moved by the sincerity in Chu Jinlingâs eyes.
However, that moment quickly passed, and her eyes returned to scorn. âFine! Love her for a while. There will be plenty of other women you wonât be able to resist in the future. Now, get out and cool off.â
âNo, I wonât! There will be no one else but her. Mother, i will only marry Sisi. Can you promise me?â Chu Jinlingâs tone softened, and he knelt before Noble Consort Xiao, earnestly kowtowing.
For a brief moment, Noble Consort Xiaoâs heart was touched.
Your translation is correct, and Iâve made only a few minor adjustments to ensure past tense consistency and maintain your typesetting:
The sincerity in Chu Jinlingâs eyes moved her.
However, in just a moment, her eyes were still filled with mockery. âCome on! Before long, you wonât be saying this.â
She found Chu Jinling to be noisy and waved her hand, motioning to chase him out.
Chu Jinlingâs face darkened. His voice was low and hoarse, carrying a coldness he had never displayed before. âMother doesnât believe me, right?â
Noble Consort Xiao shook her head, her eyes still filled with disdain.
She had personally raised her son. How could she not know that he was as playful as a child? It was just that he had little experience, so she believed that he was looking at things with youthful naivety.
However, she didnât notice the darkness in Chu Jinlingâs eyes. He went to a side chamber and took a small knife. Right in front of her, he pressed it against his face and forcefully cut.
Blood gushed out, covering his fair face instantly. It was glaringly vivid.
âChu Jinling, are you crazy?â Noble Consort Xiao screamed and stood up.
She rushed toward Chu Jinling, shouting without caring about her image. âCourt physician! Where are the court physicians? Are you all useless? Quickly summon the court physician! My childâ¦ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Her usual calm and arrogance were instantly shattered.
Tears welled up in Chu Jinlingâs eyes and mixed with the blood. His voice became hoarse. âMother, Sisi is waiting for me. 1 only want herâ¦â
Noble Consort Xiao cradled his face and cried in pain. âAlright, Mother promises you. I promise you anything.â
Her beloved child.
How could she bear to see him disfigure himself?
Four hours passed, and Lin Aotian had someone tie Lin Sisi up. His eyes were bloodshot, and he spoke with seriousness. âSisi, 1 donât care what your face looks like. I wonât let you die. The Ninth Prince doesnât want you anymore, but Father will support you for the rest of your life.â
The blood on Lin Sisiâs face had already turned purple-black. If she didnât bleed now, there would be no turning back.
Su Yingxue had already prepared a sharp dagger. She stood beside Lin Sisi. âSisi, save your life. I, Su Yingxue, will use all my medical skills to restore your
face..â
