Yu Jingchen looked at the blood on the ground below; this was his life. Compared to him, Nan Zhiyun was too pure, so pure that he wanted to stain her black and red, yet couldn't bear to.
The Empress Dowager had been observing the movements of Yu Jingchen and Nan Zhiyun. Nan Zhiyun's current state was, in a way, a product of her upbringing. Sometimes she wondered if this personality was a good thing or a bad thing. After all, she had never imagined Nan Zhiyun would enter the palace…
Yu Jingchen… She thought she knew him well, but she had rarely seen him so bloodthirsty. Even she found this scene hard to accept. Whether in the past or now, she had always believed that Yu Jingchen and Nan Zhiyun were not a good match.
"If you can't watch anymore, I'll go back with you first. You don't need to stay here. You haven't rested all night. Your health is the most important thing." Gu Yin was also worried about the Empress Dowager's health.
The Empress Dowager didn't insist any further and nodded. Gu Yin naturally extended his hand for her to take. Yu Jingchen merely glanced in that direction casually, without saying anything.
The Empress Dowager returned to Cixi Palace, but things hadn't stopped there yet. The entrance to Zichen Palace was completely soaked in blood, and even the air was filled with the stench of blood.
Yu Jingchen watched coldly; there were already seven or eight. After that, his interest waned. Perhaps it was mostly because of the little girl in his arms, who kept her brow furrowed, looking very uneasy, and even sweating profusely.
Yu Jingchen gently picked up Nan Zhiyun and stood up, without caring about the feelings or expressions of those present, and carried her away.
He didn't go into Zichen Palace, but returned to He'an Palace. It was too noisy here, and... he was afraid that Nan Zhiyun would be instinctively frightened when she woke up. So he decided it was better to stay away.
After returning to He'an Palace, Yu Jingchen placed Nan Zhiyun on the bed before pressing her sleep acupoints.
"Go and fetch a basin of hot water," Yu Jingchen instructed.
Upon hearing this, Qianxia quickly brought over a basin of hot water. Yu Jingchen wet a handkerchief, wrung it out, and personally wiped the sweat from Nan Zhiyun's forehead.
It seems he was genuinely frightened today; I wonder if he'll be able to recover by tomorrow. Yu Jingchen felt a little guilty, but not too much regret, because this might not have been a bad attempt.
Yu Jingchen didn't leave. Since he had been in a coma, Nan Zhiyun had stayed by his side the whole time, without getting any proper rest. Having just gone through something like that, Yu Jingchen was still a little worried.
Fortunately, he didn't come along; he still needs to keep an eye on things over there. I suppose after today, everyone will have a completely different perception of Yu Jingchen.
Yu Jingchen sat beside her, holding Nan Zhiyun's hands tightly, never letting go. He silently watched the somewhat uneasy little girl, his eyes filled with tenderness.
"What should we do with you?" Yu Jingchen murmured.
"I'm surrounded by mud, but I can't bear to let you go, what should I do?" Yu Jingchen didn't know, but after a short while, he started laughing to himself.
So what if it's a mud pit? Flowers can still be grown there, and they'll bloom beautifully and vibrantly. Most importantly, these flowers are planted only for Nan Zhiyun. Once they bloom, he'll hold them up in his hands and present them to her, adorning her hair with the flowers.
