"It should be... Chu Xiaolian."
Chu Xiaolian used all her internal energy to extend Mu Jingrui's life, and Mu Jingrui was very grateful.
After he rescued Shangguan Wanning, he tried to find her, but she always avoided him, locked herself in her room all day, and rarely went out.
However, Mu Jingrui knew that Chu Xiaolian would always hide in the dark and secretly watch him, which made him very puzzled.
After Shangguan Wanning listened to Mu Jingrui's explanation of the whole story, she had more respect for this infatuated female killer.
She came out of Mu Jingrui's room, and after thinking it over again and again, she walked towards the west wing in the backyard.
Chu Xiaolian drove away everyone and the yard became silent.
The warm afternoon sun shone into every corner, and Shangguan Wanning stood at the door hesitantly.
Suddenly, there was the sound of tables and chairs falling in the room, and she subconsciously pushed the door.
The door was not locked and opened, and she saw Chu Xiaolian lying on the ground.
"How are you?"
Shangguan Wanning hurried forward, but before she could touch Chu Xiaolian, she saw Chu Xiaolian struggling to crawl forward, covering her face with clothes.
"Go away...go away..."
Chu Xiaolian roared loudly, but the voice came out hoarse and old.
This surprised Shangguan Wanning.
Chu Xiaolian tried to stand up, but after staggering, she fell to the ground.
"you……"
Shangguan Wanning saw Chu Xiaolian's true face.
However, in just a few days, Chu Xiaolian's hair turned white and her face looked old, like an old woman in her seventies or eighties.
"how so?"
Chu Xiaolian tried desperately to cover her face, but found herself unable to do anything.
She didn't want others to see her current appearance, but her love rival saw her.
This made her feel desperate and ashamed.
"roll!"
Shangguan Wanning remembered what Mu Jingrui said.
Chu Xiaolian gave all her inner strength to Mu Jingrui and exhausted all her efforts. Her life was rapidly fading away.
"Miss Chu, don't get excited. Let me take a look for you. Maybe... there is a way?"
Chu Xiaolian was stunned for a moment, she raised her eyes and looked at Shangguan Wanning.
"Do you have a solution?"
"I..." Shangguan Wanning was not sure, "I can give it a try..."
Chu Xiaolian hesitated for a long time and slowly stretched out her hand.
Shangguan Wanning held her pulse, and in just that instant, her heart sank.
Chu Xiaolian's physical functions are already those of an old man in his twilight years, and it is simply...impossible to reverse.
"No hope, is there?"
Chu Xiaolian looked at Shangguan Wanning's changing expression and couldn't help but smile bitterly. "I knew... no one could help me..."
Shangguan Wanning felt a little ashamed. She felt that she had given Chu Xiaolian hope, but then let her down. It was really cruel to do this.
"You go out." Chu Xiaolian stumbled to the bed.
"Miss Chu, I know you are trying to save Jing Rui... In fact, he also wants to see you, I will call him over..."
"No, don't."
"Why? Haven't you been looking for him all along?"
Chu Xiaolian said sadly: "I just want to take a look at him secretly... But I don't want him to see me like this, don't..."
As a woman herself, Shangguan Wanning could fully understand Chu Xiaolian's feelings.
She slowly walked to Chu Xiaolian's side, put her hand gently on Chu Xiaolian's shoulder, not knowing how to comfort her.
She saw a lot of papers scattered around next to Chu Xiaolian's pillow, all with the words "Mu Jingrui" written on them.
Chu Xiaolian no longer avoided it at this moment, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
"I really envy you... you can act coquettishly with him without restraint and act willfully around him. He loves and tolerates you and has never looked at other women. I know I am not worthy of him, but I really want to see him again before I die."
Shangguan Wanning had never thought that such a tough girl like Chu Xiaolian would actually cry.
Over the years, she followed Mu Jingrui like a shadow and did a lot for him, but in the end...
"If you could restore your appearance, would you dare to meet him?" Shangguan Wanning asked in a low voice.
Chu Xiaolian no longer held out any hope. "But... that's impossible..."
"Actually, there is a way...but..."
Shangguan Wanning was undecided, and Chu Xiaolian turned around and held her hand tightly. "If you really have a way, I am willing to pay any price."
She knew that she would not live long, and she really wanted to say "goodbye" to Mu Jingrui in person.
"I can use acupuncture to temporarily restore your appearance. But... but, maybe only for one day. After one day, your energy will be exhausted..."
The reason why Shangguan Wanning proposed this method was because when she took Chu Xiaolian's pulse just now, she found that Chu Xiaolian was almost at the end of her life.
At most, he won’t survive more than three days.
"I do."
Chu Xiaolian herself knew that she would not live long.
To linger on does not mean to give it another try.
Living one day or one year makes no difference to her.
"I beg you, please help me...give me the courage to see him again, okay?"
Chu Xiaolian held Shangguan Wanning's hand tightly and begged desperately.
"good."
Shangguan Wanning agreed. "I'm going back to my room to get the silver needle. Wait for me."
Chu Xiaolian nodded slightly.
When Shangguan Wanning came back, she also brought the new jewelry that Mu Jingrui had bought for her.
She spent an entire afternoon giving Chu Xiaolian acupuncture carefully.
It was also the first time for her to undertake such a huge project, and it was not completed until the lights were turned on.
"Okay, Miss Chu, open your eyes and take a look."
Chu Xiaolian looked at herself in the mirror, feeling a little dazed.
The wrinkles on her face are gone, and she looks exactly the same as before.
She held her face in her hands and couldn't help crying.
"Miss Chu, don't be too sad. I have sealed several acupuncture points in your body with silver needles, so you can't use force, and you can't get too emotional."
Shangguan Wanning took out a handkerchief and wiped away Chu Xiaolian's tears. She smiled and said, "I asked the servants to prepare new clothes for you. I haven't worn these new jewelry either. You can pick some to use. I'll put on some makeup for you, and then you can go to see Jingrui beautifully."
Chu Xiaolian sat there without moving, just staring at Shangguan Wanning.
"Why are you helping me? Aren't you supposed to... hate me?"
"I really hated it before," Shangguan Wanning smiled slightly, "but you are so devoted to Jingrui, and for this alone, I should be grateful to you. So, I don't hate it now."
Chu Xiaolian smiled faintly.
She began to understand why Mu Jingrui loved this girl so much.
