Li Nian let go of his hand, and Xiao Yunchen came into contact with the air, breathing in big gulps greedily.
Li Nian sprayed three unknown sprays at Xiao Yunchen's face, "Puff! Puff! Puff!"
Xiao Yunchen's rapid breathing suddenly stopped and his head drooped weakly.
Li Sisi's heart suddenly tightened, and she quickly squatted down to check Xiao Yunchen's breathing: "Nian Nian, why are you...eh? Are you breathing?"
Li Nian raised the white spray bottle in his hand and said with a curled lip, "The amnesia spray is exchanged for ten health points. If you spray this, you will be in a coma for eight hours, and all memories of the hour before the coma will be gone."
Li Sisi stood up in surprise, her eyes shining as she looked at the small bottle in her hand: "Niannian, how did you find this good stuff?!"
Li Nian said: "I asked the system to recommend it."
"Is it possible to do this?" Li Sisi felt that she had acquired a new skill, and she could try it on her son in the future.
"Then what should we do next?" Li Sisi looked at the completely unconscious Xiao Yunchen, "How about I send him back?"
"Well, I'll go with you and leave him at the back door of the Xiao Mansion." Li Nian was silent for a moment, then said, "To avoid any more trouble at night, we'll leave at daybreak."
————
The sky was dim, the moon had not yet completely set, and even the shadow of the sun could not be seen.
A simple horse-drawn carriage creaked along the bluestone street. Some shops on both sides that were doing morning business had already lit up their lights and were ready to open their doors.
The carriage left from the west city gate and galloped towards the northwest.
In the carriage, Li Sisi lifted the curtain of the window, suppressed her excitement, and quietly watched the ancient and solemn city wall getting farther and farther away.
The morning sun in the east peeked out from the city wall, dyeing a large patch of clouds in the sky red.
Li Sisi said with emotion: "I never realized before that there is such a beautiful sunrise in the morning in Beijing."
Li Nian followed her gaze and agreed with a slight curve of her lips: "Yes, it is indeed beautiful." After a pause, she added, "But it has nothing to do with us now. We will see more beautiful scenery in the future, all kinds of them. If you like it, keep it. If you don't like it, throw it away."
Li Sisi put down her hand that was lifting the curtain, raised her eyebrows and smiled, "I know!"
Xiao Mansion, Jinxiu Residence.
As soon as Xiao Yunchen opened his eyes, he heard Madam Xiao's exclamation: "Chen'er——"
Then came Doctor Wu's voice: "How are you feeling, Second Young Master? Is there anything wrong?"
Xiao Yunchen looked sideways blankly at the people surrounding the bed, his eyes fell on Madam Xiao's face, and he frowned and asked, "Mother, what's wrong with me?"
He remembered that after being kicked out of the room by his wife, he went to the study. He was restless until late at night and had originally planned to sneak into the bed while his wife was asleep.
Then...what did he do afterwards? Why didn't he remember anything?
Madam Xiao frowned and said unhappily, "I was just about to ask you, where did you go last night? Why did you faint at the back door?"
Xiao Yunchen answered naturally: "I didn't leave the house last night. I stayed in the study the whole time."
Madam Xiao followed up by asking, "Then why did you end up unconscious at the back door of the mansion?"
Xiao Yunchen shook his head blankly: "I don't know."
Madam Xiao suddenly grasped the key point of his words and raised her voice: "Chen Fu kicked you out of the room again?" She said angrily, "This troublesome thing! She is so willful! I was really blinded by her greed and thought she would be a virtuous and good wife."
Xiao Yunchen frowned: "Mother, don't always say that. My wife is straightforward and has a pure and kind heart. She is very good."
Madam Xiao was so angry at his words that she almost had a heart attack: "I think you are just bewitched by her. Blame me for letting you get married too early. If you waited a little longer, when you were more mature, you would know what kind of woman is the most suitable wife."
Xiao Yunchen pursed his lips and didn't reply. He had heard these words from his mother too many times and really didn't want to hear them anymore.
He sat up from the bed, but was held down by Madam Xiao: "Where are you going? You've already missed the morning court. Your father has already asked for leave on your behalf. Lie down and rest for a while."
"I'm fine, I don't feel any discomfort." Xiao Yunchen insisted on getting out of bed, casually put on a robe and walked into his room.
He always felt that he must have overlooked something very important. He felt depressed and uncomfortable, but he couldn't think of anything.
I hurried to the door and found that it was still tightly closed.
He turned sideways and asked the maid in the courtyard, "Second Madam hasn't woken up yet?"
The maid replied respectfully, "Yes, we took turns calling her several times, but the Second Madam was asleep the whole time and didn't respond at all."
Xiao Yunchen felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness in his heart. He glanced at the window of the room and found that the window was open and not closed.
He walked to the window.
Looking in from the window, the room was silent. Through the three-panel embroidered screen, one could vaguely see the bed, but could not see clearly what was on the bed.
On the tea table in front of the screen, a piece of paper was pressed down by the teacup.
"My wife, it's getting late. It's time to get up and have breakfast." Xiao Yunchen shouted loudly, but there was no response from inside the house.
Xiao Yunchen's uneasiness grew. He frowned and ordered the servant beside him, "Go and bring a stool."
After a while, the servant brought a high stool.
Xiao Yunchen stepped on a stool and climbed in through the window.
He walked quickly to the bedside, whispering, "My wife, it's getting late, it's time to get up..."
When he came to the bed, his pupils suddenly shrank.
The person on the bed was still wearing the moon-white nightgown she wore last night. Her face was pale and her lips were so pale that they were almost transparent.
His hands were placed very neatly on both sides of his body, his legs were straight and together, and even his toes were in a normal upward position.
He knew how restless his wife was when she slept.
When he was by her side, she would always put her hands and feet on him. If he was not around, she would hug his pillow and sleep on her side until he pulled his pillow out of her arms and replaced it with his body.
It is really abnormal for the person on the bed to sleep so properly.
An unthinkable thought popped into my mind.
Impossible! My wife has always been in good health. It's absolutely impossible!
Xiao Yunchen sat down on the edge of the bed with rapid breathing, and whispered, "Wife~Wife~" He gently shook her arm with his hand.
The person on the bed showed no reaction.
Xiao Yunchen's breathing paused, his cold phoenix eyes trembled, staring at Li Sisi's face, and slowly stretched out his hand.
No breathing!
How could he not be breathing?!
"Wife! Wife!" He shouted louder and pushed her harder.
Still no response, as if dead.
Xiao Yunchen suddenly remembered the white paper on the table and hurried to pick it up. When he saw the contents on the paper clearly, his cold eyes turned red instantly.
