Chapter 101: Where Spring Returns (6) Yan Huinan, are you a scoundrel? ...

"Yan Huinan...don't be like this..." Xie Yun looked at Yan Huinan, her eyes filled with worry and emotion. But he forced a smile, as if to reassure Xie Yun that he was fine.

Xie Yun angrily walked up to Yan Huinan, picked up the whip beside him, and whipped Yan Huinan hard in front of Xie Yun.

"Stop, stop! Xie Yan, stop!" Xie Yun shouted loudly.

After Xie Yan lashed out a few times to vent his anger, he put down the whip and said to Xie Yun, "It's all because of you that Yan Huinan is trapped in this city and suffering this hardship. Xie Yun, does your heart ache?"

Xie Yun suddenly became as cold as a vengeful green snake, glaring at Xie Yan angrily.

"You're angry, you're in pain, that's all right. I just want to see you in pain. Because your pain isn't even one ten-thousandth of what I've experienced!" Xie Yan roared. "Do you know how difficult it is for a sick mother abandoned by her husband, a daughter abandoned by her own father, to survive in this world?"

Zhou Wenting on the side secretly clenched his fists.

He had personally experienced Xie Yan's dark life and had also heard the story of Yan Huinan and Xie Yun's youthful acquaintance. If he could start over, he wished he could have met Xie Yan sooner, and entered her life sooner.

Xie Yan couldn't help but burst into tears. "My mother and I were like two dogs on the roadside, begging for mercy and money for medical treatment. But what about them, the innocent people you mentioned? They tore our clothes apart like vicious dogs pouncing on their prey... They didn't treat us like human beings, for two whole days and nights... My mother was covered in blood. Her lower body was festering, and her whole body was burning. My hands were broken, so I couldn't even hug her. I could only watch as her once-burning body gradually cooled and hardened in the heavy rain."

"Xie Yun, why? Why is it that the one who is abandoned is not you, and will never be you? Is it just because you can win Yan Huinan's heart and have the ability to let Lou Cheng guarantee you?"

This cruel reality, every word and sentence hit Xie Yun like thunder.

"So I hate you, I hate you so much!" Xie Yan's voice became sharp and painful, like the cry of a cuckoo, and every word was heartbreaking.

Xie Yun corrected her, "I understand your pain. My mother was also abandoned here by Xie Qingyun. Her body was wrapped in a straw mat and discarded like a rag. She was once Xie Qingyun's first wife. But the person you should hate is Xie Qingyun, the one who hurt you and your daughter. You shouldn't vent your anger on others. What you're doing now is just to vent your own anger."

Xie Yan: "I don't need your understanding or sympathy. I just want you to pay the price and truly feel the pain. Sister, how about we play a game together?"

"What?"

"Xie Yan, what exactly are you going to do?" Xie Run shouted angrily.

After saying this, Xie Yan turned around and picked up a dagger from the table. It was the dagger that Xie Yun always carried with him, a gift from Fei Jing, and was brought to Xie Yan by the servant.

"Since you have such great love in your heart, yet I'm still burdened with resentment, how about I give you a chance to do good? Choose between my husband and my brother. I'll release the one you choose and give you the antidote to the city's plague to fulfill your great love. How about that? The other one, carrying all my pain and hatred, will be killed by your own hands to fulfill my own love." Xie Yan's voice became increasingly frantic. "If you don't choose, then we'll all be buried with your great love."

Xie Run: "You are really a lunatic."

Xie Yun completely ignored the noises around her, staring intently at the person she once hated the most. Countless times, she had wished she could kill her. But as Xie Yun had said, killing Xie Yun wouldn't satisfy her. Her true enemy was dead, and the only thing she felt left in her heart was jealousy and hatred for Xie Yun.

Therefore, with such hatred, killing her would not be the most satisfying thing for Xie Yan. Only when she lived in pain and regret every day, and only when she was never worthy of being compared with Xie Yan, would Xie Yan feel satisfied.

Killing the person she loved most with her own hands would leave Xie Yun with the longest and deepest regret and pain in her hard and strong heart. This would be a painful mark on her for the rest of her life.

"Choose." After saying that, Xie Yan grabbed Xie Yun's hand and put the knife in her hand. Then he held her hand and pointed it at the two of them in turn. "Choose Xie Run and kill Yan Huinan. Or choose Yan Huinan and kill Xie Run?"

Xie Yun's hands began to tremble. Her other hand was held tightly by someone. With only one hand, she couldn't break free from Xie Yun. "Don't..."

Xie Yan: "It must be painful to make this choice. But it's painful for me too. I can't let you go."

"Yan Yan, don't be afraid." When Xie Yun was resisting, Yan Huinan spoke first, "You can choose to kill me."

Xie Yun's heart stagnated for a moment, and the tip of her nose suddenly felt unusually sour. Her red eyes could no longer hold back the tears, and bitter tears slid down the corners of her eyes. "Yan Huinan, shut up... Don't say anything for now."

"elder sister……"

Xie Yun collapsed and yelled, "Don't say anything."

How could she do it?

Zhou Wenting was worried that Xie Yun would do something bad to Xie Yan, so he stood beside her nervously and stared at Xie Yun vigilantly.

Xie Yan was like a madman at this moment: "I will count to a number. If you don't choose, I will order people to whip them once."

"one"

The first whip landed on Yan Huinan. In order not to worry Xie Yun, he kept silent, but the sound of the whip hitting his body still tortured Xie Yun.

"two"

The second whip fell on Xie Run, but Xie Run endured it without making a sound.

"three"

The third whip.

"Four"

…

"Eight, you still haven't made a choice. If you still haven't made a choice when I count to ten, you will never have another chance to choose." Xie Yan was determined to force Xie Yun to say someone's name, and then make her regret it for the rest of her life.

Yan Huinan spoke again at this time, "Yan Yan, kill me."

Xie Yun shook her head in despair.

But Yan Huinan smiled calmly: "I owe you this life."

"Nine"

It hit Yan Huinan again.

"I choose..." Xie Yun closed her eyes in despair and murmured, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

"Who do you choose?" Xie Yan leaned over and asked.

Xie Yun felt that all the strength in her body had been drained away. She could only look at Yan Huinan's eyes blankly: Think of a way, Yan Huinan.

But Yan Huinan just looked at her deeply for the last time, then slowly closed his eyes and accepted death.

Finally, Xie Yun pointed the sharp blade of the dagger in his hand at Yan Huinan.

"I saw the marriage certificate you kept. Yan Huinan, are you a bastard?" Xie Yan wanted to grab Xie Yun's hand and stab her hard, but Xie Yun resisted Xie Yan's strength.

Yan Huinan said calmly and stubbornly, "I am what you say I am."

As soon as the words fell, the dagger in Xie Yun's hand pierced deeply into Yan Huinan's abdomen.

Xie Run exclaimed, "No!"

Warm blood flowed along the handle of the knife to the back of Xie Yun's hand. Yan Huinan spat out a mouthful of blood, which dripped onto Xie Yun's hand. At this moment, her heart seemed to be cut out.

With his hands tied and hanging, Yan Huinan was kneeling on the ground. After being stabbed and completely losing all his strength, Yan Huinan fell heavily towards Xie Yun. However, because his hands were tied, his upper body could only be hung. His head drooped weakly.

At this moment, Xie Yan released his grip, and the person restraining Xie Yun also released theirs. Xie Yun's vision was blurred by tears, and all she could see was the bright red blood. She knelt before Yan Huinan, straightened her upper body to support him, and raised her hand to diligently wipe the blood from his mouth.

don't want

don't want!

This is a dream!

"No! Yan Huinan..."

But her sleeves were wet with blood, and her hands were covered in blood, and the more she wiped, the blurrier it became.

"I can't wipe your tears anymore... ahem... Yanyan, don't cry." Yan Huinan said, "You... you don't... don't hate me."

Xie Yun: "I don't hate you. I haven't hated you since I learned the truth about the wildfire."

Yan Huinan felt relieved and opened his mouth to speak again, but he couldn't control the blood rushing into his throat. He could only hear a bloody "Okay..."

"Yan Huinan, don't sleep! Hold on!"

Xie Yun kept telling herself in her heart, I can heal you, I can heal you...

The more she comforted herself, the more she couldn't stop crying, and her inner defenses were collapsing layer by layer.

"Xie Yan! You deserve to die!" Xie Yun hugged Yan Huinan and roared at Xie Yan in despair.

Just as Xie Yan was about to speak, the entire secret room suddenly erupted in a huge explosion, as if a dragon had turned over, and the inside and outside of the secret room were shaking violently.

Xie Yun immediately held Yan Huinan tightly in her arms.

After a burst of smoke and dust, a hole was blown out of the stone door of the secret room. Yu Xian's men rushed in instantly and restrained Zhou Wenting and his group.

Zhou Wenting originally thought that he would be safe as long as he grabbed Xie Yan's hand, but he didn't know when, the woman who originally led Xie Yun in took advantage of the chaos to slip behind Xie Yan, drew the knife from her sleeve and pressed it against Xie Yan's neck.

Zhou Wenting: "Fuqiu! What are you doing!"

Fuqiu said in a trembling voice, "Princess, you saved my mother. I cannot be ungrateful. I'm sorry, Princess. I was alone just now and couldn't help you..."

When Yu Xian saw this scene, the scene of Yan Huinan committing suicide many years ago appeared before his eyes again.

He immediately ordered the imperial physician to come forward and treat Yan Huinan: "Hurry and save him! If anything happens to the Regent, this general will have your heads immediately!"

Xie Yun wiped away her tears and wanted to save Yan Huinan, but Yu Xian grabbed her hand and asked, "What happened? Why is he so badly injured? And he was stabbed in the abdomen. Do you know that he can't..."

With a knife pressed against his neck, Xie Yun was completely frantic. He spoke without fear of death, "What else could it be? Xie Yun stabbed him with her own hands."

Xie Run, who had been untied, rushed forward with all his strength, pushed Fuqiu's knife away, and strangled her neck tightly: "Xie Yan, you deserve to die!"

"No!" Zhou Wenting shouted from the side, "Don't hurt her! She's pregnant! Xie Yun, you're so kind and compassionate. If you let her go, just let go of this unborn child, okay? I'll give you the antidote to the plague, and I'll use my life to pay for Yan Huinan's..."

But before Zhou Wenting could finish his words, Yu Xian's knife had already pierced his heart. Xie Yun, on the other hand, never once glanced at him, her entire attention focused on Yan Huinan.

Yu Xian: "Of course you will die, but not to pay for Ziyou's life. Ziyou will live well."

"Ugh...Ah!!!" Xie Yan struggled with all his might. After hearing what Zhou Wenting said, Xie Run finally couldn't bear to kill him, and Xie Yan fell to the ground powerlessly.

After clearing out Zhou Wenting's men from the scene, Yu Xian ordered someone to send the antidote Zhou Wenting had just taken out to the imperial physician staying in the ward for examination. If it was indeed the antidote, it could be prepared.

As they passed by Xie Yun, Xie Yun asked in a hoarse voice, "Yu Xian, what did you mean by 'again'?"

Yu Xian hesitated, "Again, I was stabbed in the abdomen again, and once again I was on the brink of life and death."

But what she saw today, and what she had seen in the past, left Xie Yun with a cloud of doubt. She continued to ask, "When was the last time? On the battlefield?"

Whatever happened, she wanted to get to the bottom of it.

Although Yu Xian had promised Yan Huinan not to mention these past events to Xie Yun, he didn't want to remain silent any longer. "During the Jinzhou wildfire, he thought you were killed by him, so he drew his sword and killed himself, wanting to follow you. If I hadn't stopped him in time, the sword would have pierced his body like it did just now."

If that were the case, Yan Huinan would be truly dead.

Soul and □□.
