Chapter 58: Since you've said this, I won't allow you to...
When Su Guanqing heard her voice, his tense expression relaxed, and the corners of his mouth curled up. "Quesheng said you weren't in the study, so I guessed you might be here."
"What do you want from me?" Jiang Tong's tone was cold.
Su Guanqing knew Jiang Tong was still angry, so he hurriedly said, "Tongtong, I'm sorry, I was wrong before."
"How dare I? It's obvious that I'm just being sentimental."
"No, Tongtong, I...actually, I..." Su Guanqing stammered, the words coming to his lips but he couldn't say them at all.
Seeing his reaction, Jiang Tong became even more angry: "Do you have anything to say? If not, I'll close the door!"
As she said this, she was really about to close the door.
"Don't! Tongtong, I..." Su Guanqing was so panicked that he wanted to use his hands to hold the door, but when he stretched out his hand, his hand was almost pinched by the door.
Jiang Tong was so frightened that he opened the door immediately, and was even more furious: "I don't want your hand anymore!"
"Oh my, what are you two doing?" Ah Qiao's voice came from inside the room. "Ah Tong, please let Guan Qing in. We can discuss this together."
Jiang Tong still had to give Ah Qiao face. She made way for him unhappily and said, "Come in."
"Hey!" Su Guanqing responded hurriedly and followed in.
However, he had never been into the ear room and didn't know the layout inside. He didn't know which way to go after entering, so he had to stand there.
Jiang Tong sat back on the stool and turned his head away.
A Qiao nudged Jiang Tong's feet with her toes, and when she turned around, she tilted her head towards Su Guanqing.
Jiang Tong turned her head and saw Su Guanqing standing there at a loss. She wanted to pretend she didn't see it, but she couldn't bear it, so she roughly pulled him over to sit down.
Ah Qiao suppressed a laugh and asked, "By the way, how's Lord Ye doing?"
Jiang Tong threw Su Guanqing onto the stool and still ignored him, only talking to A Qiao: "I cried so hard when I learned that the Jingtai Emperor's incense would continue."
A Qiao said, "The 'Jingtai Orphan' has escaped the dark path. At least on the surface, the Zhengtong Emperor doesn't dare to take action against him."
"We have seriously offended Emperor Zhengtong this time. We must also be careful that the emperor might get desperate and do something desperate." A trace of worry flashed in Jiang Tong's eyes.
Ever since Emperor Zhengtong killed his brother and restored his throne, he has always wanted to wipe out the nephew completely. However, he wasted several years and failed to kill his adopted nephew, and even allowed him to return to his ancestral home smoothly.
Although a child could not pose any threat to him, it is conceivable that Emperor Zhengtong must be very angry.
Su Guanqing said gently, "Even if the emperor wants to retaliate against us, he must have a reason. We should be careful during this period and not let him catch us."
This idea is indeed a bit naive, but at the moment, they really have no other choice but to keep quiet.
But...
A Qiao and Jiang Tong looked at each other.
Jiang Tong spoke first: "I think there are still three years left?"
A Qiao nodded: "Probably a little over three years."
Having lived their lives again, they certainly knew that Emperor Zhengtong’s days were numbered.
As long as they can get through these three years safely, the day will dawn.
The two did not continue the conversation on this topic, but just exchanged a knowing look.
What they said must have been confusing to others, but Su Guanqing did not ask.
This is a bit strange.
Jiang Tong couldn't help but turn her head to look at him, only to see that Su Guanqing, who was sitting across from her, looked very strange. His breathing was rapid, his lips were trembling, and his eyes were moist.
"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Tong was frightened by his appearance. She didn't care about being angry anymore and walked towards him quickly.
Just as she walked towards Su Guanqing, she suddenly found that his eyes were moving as she walked.
"Guan Qing," Jiang Tong's heart skipped a beat, and she grabbed his arm tightly, "Can you see it?"
Su Guanqing nodded vigorously and quickly reached out to wipe away the tears that overflowed from his eyes: "Tongtong! I can see it now!"
Just at that moment, the white mist in front of his eyes disappeared instantly, and he saw the two people sitting opposite him!
For a moment, Su Guanqing didn't bother to listen to what Jiang Tong and the others said, but just kept his eyes fixed on Jiang Tong.
At this moment, seeing Jiang Tong standing in front of him, he could no longer suppress his inner excitement. He stood up suddenly and hugged Jiang Tong: "Tongtong! I can see! I can see!"
Jiang Tong was also very excited for a moment, and the two of them hugged each other as if no one was around. After a while, Jiang Tong regained her senses. She let go of him and wiped the tears from his cheeks with her hands.
"Let's go see the doctor!"
Su Guanqing choked up and nodded, and obediently let her pull him out.
His gaze followed her all the time, and his pupils, which had been dark and unfocused for many years, became bright and sparkling, as if an entire galaxy was lit up in them.
Behind them, A Qiao touched her nose. It seemed as if no one had remembered that she was still in the room...
…
In the clinic.
"Oh, it's really not easy. The money for the medicine alone would burn down a small house, right?" The doctor was also full of emotion after examining Su Guanqing's eyes.
"It cost so much..." Su Guanqing felt distressed when he heard it.
Su Guanqing was actually not very good at accounting. Although he knew that his medicine was very expensive, because Jiang Tong did not tell him, he had no idea how much a prescription cost. Later, Feng Fuliu ran errands to buy the medicine, so he had no idea how much he had spent on the medicine.
"It's money well spent." Jiang Tong said with a smile.
The doctor said something else, but when he finished he realized that no one was paying attention to what he said. His patient had already turned his attention back to the girl.
The girl stood beside Su Guanqing, looking down at her lover tenderly, gently stroking his eye sockets with her thumb, and suddenly leaned over with a smile and whispered something. Su Guanqing showed an expression that was both shy and happy, and nodded at her.
In broad daylight! In the open air! How shameful!
The old doctor cleared his throat in dissatisfaction: "Close your eyes!"
Su Guanqing was stunned.
Jiang Tong also looked at the doctor with a puzzled look.
"His eyes can only just see. He can't overuse them, or he won't be able to bear it," explained the doctor.
In fact, Su Guanqing had already felt sore eyes, but even after hearing what the doctor said, he was still reluctant to close his eyes.
Jiang Tong took the doctor's words as his guiding principle. After hearing what the doctor said, and seeing that Su Guanqing was still looking at her with his eyes open, she quickly reached out and stroked his face, forcing him to close his eyes: "Listen to the doctor!"
"Oh..." Su Guanqing said hesitantly.
The doctor lowered his head without noticing anything and began to write the prescription quickly, saying as he wrote:
"Go home, find a piece of cloth, wrap your eyes, and when the sun just rises in the morning, close your eyes and let them dry in the sun."
He wrote the prescription, handed it to Jiang Tong, and said seriously, "Remember! You can't spoil him. Rest is very important at this time. If he overuses his eyes, he may go blind again at any time."
Jiang Tong was so frightened that she immediately took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and blindfolded Su Guanqing.
…
Su Guanqing performed acupuncture for a while, and the two of them had dinner outside. When they slowly returned home, the moon was already hanging in the middle of the sky.
That night, the night was very beautiful.
The corridor was quiet.
The weather has been getting alarmingly colder in recent years. Even though spring is almost here, the ground shows no sign of thawing.
The entire yard of Jiang's house was covered in snow. On weekdays, almost no one walked there, and there was not even a dirty footprint in the snow. It was like a picture of "Snow in the Courtyard on a Moonlit Night".
Su Guanqing's bamboo stick was still left in Aqiao's room. Jiang Tong was afraid that he would not be able to find the way, so he walked him to the door of the west wing and shook his hand: "Go back and rest."
Su Guanqing subconsciously reached out to remove the handkerchief from his eyes, but Jiang Tong grabbed it and snatched it away. She yelled at him, "What are you doing?"
"Tongtong, I want to see you, just for a while, okay?" Su Guanqing pleaded.
Jiang Tong thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then for a moment. Lower your head."
Su Guanqing obediently bent down slightly and let Jiang Tong help him take off the handkerchief.
As soon as the handkerchief was untied, Su Guanqing looked at Jiang Tong without wasting a moment.
He could never get enough.
If the Tongtong he saw before he went blind still had some of the innocence and mischief of a child, the Jiang Tong in front of him had completely transformed into a different person.
Her temperament is no longer lively, but has settled down, with a steady aura.
That was not the little girl in his memory who needed his care and love. She had grown into a pine tree that blocked out the sun. With her wings spread, she protected him tightly.
Such a bright beauty has a charm that cannot be ignored.
Su Guanqing just stared at Jiang Tong without blinking, his eyes full of tenderness.
"Have you seen enough?" Jiang Tong waved her hand in front of him. "I told you to go back and rest, why are you still staring at me?"
Su Guanqing subconsciously said, "Tongtong, are you not angry with me anymore?"
It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned it, but once he did, it reminded Jiang Tong. She raised her eyebrows and her face fell, "Who's talking to you!"
She turned around and was about to leave, but before she took a step, Su Guanqing grabbed her hand.
"Tongtong, if this thing we're doing succeeds, I only wish to be with you forever; if it doesn't work out, under the fountain..." Su Guanqing looked at her steadily, his eyes deep and sincere, "I am willing to be with you through life and death."
Jiang Tong turned around and met his bright black eyes: "Now that you have said this, I will not allow you to regret it."
"I have no regrets even if I die." His voice was gentle, but every word was sonorous.
He just looked at her, his eyes filled with an unbreakable tenderness. Behind him was a crystal white world, just like his clear and pure heart.
Jiang Tong's heart softened. She pulled his clothes, let him come closer, slightly stood on tiptoe, and kissed his eyes.
The warm breath hit his face, Su Guanqing's heart trembled, and he reached out and held her waist tightly.
The moonlight tonight is very bright, shining on the couple hugging each other tightly, casting a trail of paired shadows on the corridor.
