"Cough! Cough cough..."
In the yard, Yunying started coughing again.
He couldn't stop, and the coughing turned from light to heavy, and his breathing became rapid. He clenched the broken flute in his left hand and put it in his arms, and covered the corner of his mouth with his right hand. His chest was heaving violently, and he couldn't stop.
Her breathing was rapid and she felt so uncomfortable that her eyes turned red:
"cough!"
"Cough... Ugh, cough cough!"
She bent down and saw a hint of red in the palm of her hand.
It's blood...
She looked at the blood with a dazed look in her eyes.
Suddenly, a handkerchief wrapped around her hand and quickly wiped the blood clean.
She looked up and saw Jing Yi. She couldn't say a word, only coughing, "Cough cough..."
Jing Yi said, "You are too weak. You haven't had a drop of water for two days. How can you bear it? Can we eat something? Take some medicine. After taking the medicine, you won't vomit blood."
His voice was very soft, pleading.
He became more humble than ever before and spoke to her very carefully.
Yun Ying coughed with unsteady breathing, pulled her hand away, and distanced herself from him. She didn't want to have any physical contact with him, and even more so, didn't want to see him.
Coughing, and there was blood again.
The blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth, reflecting her pale face and weak eyes, like a knife stabbing deeply into Jing Yi's heart.
"Yun Ying!"
"Take some medicine, I beg you!"
He brought out the medicinal porridge from the room and placed it in front of her anxiously, but she slapped it over.
Porcelain fragments and porridge were scattered all over the floor.
The last person she wanted to see was him, let alone eat his food.
"Yun Ying, I know you feel bad, can you tell me? You can hit me or scold me, but don't joke with your body. Don't hold it in, just vent it to me!"
He grasped her cold wrist, took her hand, and slammed it hard on his face.
"You hit me, even if you beat me to death, I won't complain at all."
"You hit me!"
Pop.
Snap——
He swung himself hard, and soon red marks appeared on his face.
But she didn't try hard at all.
She sat on the steps, coughing non-stop, unable to exert any strength in her hands. Her weak body leaned against the pillar and slid to the ground powerlessly:
"cough……"
He coughed out a mouthful of blood.
It overflowed from the corners of his mouth, flowed to his ears, flowed into his hair, and disappeared.
"Yun Ying!"
Jing Yi rushed forward and knelt down on the broken porcelain pieces without hesitation. Both of his knees were pierced and covered with blood stains.
He ignored the pain and grabbed her arm in panic.
"Yun Ying, what's wrong with you! Don't be like this, don't scare me!"
"Yun Ying!"
"Yun Ying!"
Her body was so cold, blood kept flowing out from the corners of her mouth, and her eyes looking at him gradually became blurred and unfocused.
Look at him.
Suddenly, I laughed...
As soon as she smiled, she spat out large mouthfuls of blood, and even her eyeballs turned bright red.
"Yunying, don't scare me!" He hugged her tightly in panic, held up her powerlessly drooping head, and looked at her dying smile.
Laughing and spitting blood.
Tears welled up in his eyes, his whole body trembled, his hands trembled, and his voice trembled with panic.
"Yun Ying, Yun Ying... I was wrong. I know it wasn't you who killed Zhang Fei. I wronged you. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's all my fault..."
His hands were shaking violently as he wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, but the blood kept gushing out like a burst dam.
"Yun Ying...don't..."
"Don't look at me like that... Yunying, I know I was wrong! I really know I was wrong!"
She was spitting out blood, her thoughts became blurred, and her eyelids slowly closed as if they weighed a thousand pounds.
Dimly, she heard his voice.
Wrong...
Yes, it was wrong from the beginning. She shouldn't have come to the imperial capital, shouldn't have followed the princess, and so many things wouldn't have happened later.
She was wrong...
She tilted her head to one side and closed her eyes weakly.
"Yun Ying!"
