Du Yaoyao grabbed his wrist and sucked it hard until she had drunk about a cup. She looked at his pale face due to blood loss and cried, "Drink it. Are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied." Chen Jie wiped her tears and smiled contentedly, "Yaoyao, you care about me."

"Whoever owns her, I will feel sorry for her." Du Yaoyao murmured and sighed, "This is not a solution." He had to take her on a journey and bleed her from time to time, but he was not an immortal.

"We can hold on for one more day." Chen Jie wiped the blood off his hands with a handkerchief and chatted with Du Yaoyao, "I ate fresh rabbit meat today, so I have plenty of strength and blood."

Du Yaoyao gently stroked the wound on his wrist and asked softly, "Does raw meat smell fishy?" She had been fed it yesterday and vomited it all.

Shen Jie blew a breath, "You smell it."

A sweet smell of grass. Du Yaoyao was puzzled.

Shen Jie explained, “There is a kind of herb here that can remove the bad smell when chewed in the mouth.”

"Yeah," Du Yaoyao nodded longingly, "That's great."

Shen Jie leaned in and sniffed, "I added herbal juice to the water you drank, so Yaoyao still smells fragrant."

His warm breath pressed against my neck, making me feel itchy, as if little bugs were crawling on it. Du Yaoyao let out a moan, but was reluctant to push him away.

If she were a modern Du Yaoyao, with a healthy body, she would definitely be able to escape with him, eat raw meat and chew aromatic herbs.

But she is not!

She was so weak that she fell into a coma from time to time when she was sick, couldn't eat because of stomach pain, and didn't even have the strength to walk.

Life slips away bit by bit.

She would only hinder him and slow down everyone's escape.

"Chenjie..." Du Yaoyao called out with difficulty.

Chen Jie looked at the two bags of crystal tears condensed in Du Yaoyao's eyes, and her expression of wanting to say something but stopping herself and feeling infinitely reluctant.

He anticipated what she would say and blocked her lips with his index finger. "I don't care how many people die, Yaoyao. I just want you to be alive."

"If you die, no matter how many people are alive, it will be meaningless to me."

"Even me, there is no point in living..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Du Yaoyao scolded, "Everyone's life is precious."

She did not agree with his idea of ​​treating human life as worthless, and was even more surprised that he, a powerful official who would later be famous throughout history, would risk his life for a woman.

Although she felt sweet in her heart, she advised, "In the future, you will contribute to the country and benefit future generations, and benefit the common people. Your life is very important." The concubines in the harem did not mention it.

Chen Jie didn't care and said seriously: "I just want to have a home, a wife, children and a warm bed. The days with Yaoyao are the happiest time of my life."

Du Yaoyao was speechless and stammered, "If you can't hold on any longer and want to leave me... you must tell me in advance... If you tell me, I won't blame you..."

Don't leave her alone, waiting foolishly, from hope to despair.

Du Yaoyao had been fed up with this kind of waiting from her parents since she was a child.

Chen Jie vowed, "Yaoyao, I will never abandon you, I swear!"

"I believe you." Du Yaoyao was willing to take a step towards him, but was worried that her body could not support it.

She felt a little regretful and pondered for a moment, "Chen Jie, I want to ask you for a favor..."

"What?"

"If I'm in trouble, please set my aunt and her family free. Song Xingkai has been kind to me."

Shen Jie’s face darkened. He wanted to ask, at this time, can't she let go of Song Xingkai? What kind of favor is so great that you need to remember to repay another man at the critical moment of life and death?

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Du Yaoyao lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes covering her eyelids.

She lay motionless, like a dying butterfly in the moonlight.

Shen Jie's Adam's apple rolled a few times, "Okay, I promise you, if I can return to Beijing, I will set the Song family free."

Du Yaoyao was about to thank him when he added, "If you can't get better, I will kill Song Xingkai and bury him with you."
