Yan Wan was covered in blood, but Ji Mohan's injuries had miraculously healed. Yan Wan nodded in satisfaction, knowing that the life-saving talisman had worked. As she collapsed, Ji Mohan caught her tightly in his arms. His eyes were red, and he cried out in a panic, "Yan Wan, Yan Wan, don't scare me, okay?"
How could this be? Ji Mohan looked at Yan Wan in his arms in disbelief. The injury was clearly on him, so why did it happen to Yan Wan? Ji Mohan's hands, which were holding Yan Wan, were trembling with fear. He couldn't lose Yan Wan.
Yan Wan smiled. She had finally completed her mission, and her beloved Ji Mohan could live to be a hundred years old. This journey had not been in vain.
Ji Mohan buried his head in Yan Wan's shoulder. Yan Wan felt a damp warmth on her shoulder. She was stunned for a moment. Was he crying?
"Hanhan, don't be like this. This battlefield still needs you." Yan Wan patted Ji Mohan's back to comfort him. The surrounding soldiers, seeing their prince carrying the wounded princess, were all red-eyed as they fought the enemy.
Ji Mohan raised his scarlet eyes and stared intently at Yan Wan. He wiped away his tears, picked up the sword beside him, and gently kissed Yan Wan, saying, "Wait for me, okay? After I kill them, I'll take you away."
Yan Wan felt her life force slipping away. She forced herself to stay awake, reached out and touched Ji Mohan's cheek, wiping away the dried blood on his face. She smiled and nodded, her pale lips slightly parted, saying, "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."
She might not be able to wait for him to come back. I'm sorry, Hanhan, I lied to you again.
Ji Mohan's voice choked with emotion as he repeated, "Wait for me to come back, okay? Yan Wan, you can't abandon me."
Yan Wan smiled and then tears started falling. She quickly wiped them away, nodded firmly, and said, "Okay, I promise you."
Ji Mohan carried Yan Wan to a relatively safe place, picked up the sword beside him, glared angrily at Meng Shang, and slashed at him directly.
How could he possibly hurt Yan Wan? She was the apple of his eye, someone he couldn't bear to see suffer even the slightest harm. He deserves to die!
When Meng Shang saw Ji Mo Han raise his sword to slash at him, he curled his lips into a smile. Finally, he had a chance to compete with the King of Yin.
When Yan Wan saw Ji Mohan turn away, her body, which she had been holding on to, suddenly went limp. She turned her head to the side and spat out a mouthful of blood. Her head was spinning, and her body was slowly getting cold. Yan Wan looked back at Ji Mohan with reluctance. She knew that she was about to die.
Finally, Yan Wan couldn't hold on any longer. She closed her eyes and fell to the side, but was caught by Jing Xi who rushed over. Jing Xi looked at the pale-faced Yan Wan in her arms and felt a little annoyed. If only she had noticed that something was wrong with Wan'er sooner. Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in life.
Jing Xi gently patted Yan Wan's pale face and anxiously called out, "Wan'er, Wan'er, open your eyes and look at me. Yan Wan, wake up! If you don't wake up, I'm going to break up with you!" As she spoke, Jing Xi's voice trembled with tears. How could this be? Just the night before last, she was drinking with Wan'er and dreaming about their bright future.
In her dazed state, Yan Wan seemed to hear Jing Xi's voice. Suddenly, a strong force shook Yan Wan, and she slowly opened her eyes. Looking at the anxious Jing Xi, she gave a smile that was more like a grimace. "Jing Xi, why are you here? Silly girl, swords have no eyes on the battlefield. Don't, don't get hurt."
Jingxi couldn't hold back her tears. Even though she was seriously injured, she was still thinking of others. How could she be so foolish?
"Are you stupid? Yan Wan, why didn't you protect yourself properly?" Jing Xi asked angrily. She knew that Yan Wan had been injured because of Ji Mohan again. She wanted nothing more than to kill Ji Mohan. A man who needed a woman to protect him, what a coward!
Yan Wan looked at Jing Xi, who was still angry, and pulled Jing Xi's arm in a conciliatory manner, saying, "Jing Xi, don't be angry. This is my own choice, and I have no regrets."
Jing Xi angrily roared, "But you're about to die, Yan Wan!"
Yan Wan smiled bitterly and said, "I know."
Yan Wan slumped to the side, but Jing Xi caught her quickly and made her lean against him. Yan Wan chuckled softly and said, "I'm sorry, Jing Xi. I love him, so I hope he can live a long and healthy life."
As she spoke, tears streamed down Yan Wan's face, disappearing as they fell to the ground. She continued, "Jing Xi, we are kindred spirits, so I hope you are happier than I am."
Jing Xi couldn't bear to listen anymore. She turned her head to look at the battlefield where the fighting was taking place, and tears welled up in her eyes. Foolish Yan Wan, the biggest fool in the world.
When Yan Wan saw that Jing Xi did not reply, she knew that Jing Xi was angry, angry that she had not taken good care of her body. She felt her body becoming more and more stiff. She knew that her time was running out, so she rambled on and on, giving instructions for her last affairs. She had said something important in the letter, but she was afraid that Jing Xi had not read the letter or had forgotten it. She forced herself to hold on a little longer.
"Jingxi, did you see the letter I left for you? The land deed and hairpin at the bottom of the letter are my wedding gifts for you and Jiang Bai. I'm so sorry I can't congratulate you in person." Yan Wan continued speaking, while Jingxi covered her mouth tightly, her body trembling slightly from crying. Yan Wan felt Jingxi's trembling voice, took Jingxi's hand, patted it gently, and continued, "After I'm gone, I'll have to trouble you to take care of Yan's Hot Pot. And my family, if you have time, please visit them for me. Tell them not to be sad for me. If Father and Mother are too sad, tell them that I'm just a wandering ghost, possessing Yan Wan's body, not their biological daughter. That way, they won't be so sad."
Jing Xi bit her lip so hard that it tasted blood, but she kept biting it, tears streaming down her face that she couldn't wipe away.
"And then there's that silly girl, Gu Yu. Jing Xi, if possible, let Gu Yu manage the branch in the capital. If she wants to leave in the future, don't stop her. I've already found a way out for her. Judging by the time, she should have received what I prepared for her by now. That girl is loyal but timid, so I'll have to trouble you to take care of her. If she finds someone she likes in the future, be sure to find out about their background and temperament. I'm sorry, Jing Xi, for troubling you so much." Yan Wan said with some guilt. She felt she wasn't a good friend, having troubled Jing Xi so much after she left.
Jingxi nodded vigorously and said through tears, "Okay, okay, I agree. But don't try to push everything onto me. Once you're better, go back and tell the Prime Minister, his wife, and Guyu yourself. I can only take a look for you; I can't take care of anything else."
When Yan Wan saw that Jing Xi had agreed, she happily said, "Thank you, Jing Xi."
She knew that Jing Xi would keep her promise if she agreed, so she could leave with peace of mind.
"And you, take good care of yourself. You and I, one of us must be happy. I hope you can be happy, Jingxi. No matter what, never forget to love yourself." Yan Wan raised her head and looked at Jingxi, seeing Jingxi crying like a baby. Yan Wan tremblingly raised her hand and wiped away her tears.
Jing Xi was sobbing, her voice choked with emotion. "Foolish Yan Wan, fool."
Then, Yan Wan looked up at Ji Mohan and said gently, "Besides you all, he's the one I worry about the most. After I leave, if Ji Mohan can't get over it, please, Jing Xi, cough cough, tell him that everything I did for him was just to use him. He was just a task I was trying to win over. Only when his affection for me reaches 100% can I go home. I only used him, I didn't like him at all." In fact, she had also said in the letter she left for Ji Mohan that hatred always lasts longer than love. She was afraid that after she left, Ji Mohan would do something foolish. She hoped that all her efforts would not be in vain, and that Ji Mohan could live a long and healthy life.
She hoped his ending would be different from the original one. Ji Mohan was the best person in the world; he deserved a lifetime of happiness. This time, she would bear all the hardships for him.
