Chapter 95 Waking up
When Li Jinchen woke up, a few candles flickered dimly in the quiet room. Gu Lingyu and Zhou Yunqing sat on chairs beside the bed with their eyes closed, as if they were asleep.
There was also a young eunuch next to him who Li Jinchen was not familiar with. His eyes lit up when he saw Li Jinchen wake up.
"Your Majesty!"
Li Jinchen quickly made a gesture to keep quiet. The young eunuch covered his mouth and nodded.
Gu Lingyu and Zhou Yunqing were both martial artists and were very sensitive to sounds. They opened their eyes when they heard the movement.
"Jinchen, are you awake?"
"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Gu Lingyu and Zhou Yunqing asked concernedly.
Li Jinchen shook his head, or rather, he felt uncomfortable all over.
"How long have I slept?"
"Four or five days." Gu Lingyu replied.
"I'll go call Sister Jinxuan, she's resting next door, she will be very happy to see you wake up." Gu Lingyu said and ran out.
Li Jinchen was about to hold him back, but he saw him disappear in a flash, so he had to give up.
"Yunqing, Xie Anci... I will mobilize troops now to attack Canyue Kingdom!" Li Jinchen pursed his lips, with grief in his eyes.
He had always misunderstood Xie Anci, and this time he must find him back.
Zhou Yunqing's expression was gloomy when he heard this, and after a long time, he sighed: "Your Majesty, it's not necessary."
Li Jinchen frowned: "What do you mean? What do you mean it's not necessary?"
"Xie Anci was intercepted on the way to Canyue Kingdom. He jumped off the cliff and his life or death is unknown." Zhou Yunqing paused, but still told him the truth.
Li Jinchen's eyes widened upon hearing this, staring at Zhou Yunqing in disbelief, anger, grief, regret...
all the emotions surged up at once, the tall man's eyes reddened: "Go find him! I'll send someone to find him now."
Li Jinchen's voice was hoarse, and he seemed to be speechless due to grief.
Zhou Yunqing held him back: "We have sent someone to find him, but there is no news yet." Zhou Yunqing
knew that more than just their group of people were looking for him, and he now knew that the person who kidnapped Xie Anci was probably Xu Xiao.
He originally thought that the two of them were just in a cooperative relationship, but he didn't expect that he had let a wolf into the house.
Zhou Yunqing's face was gloomy, and now he couldn't see Xu Xiao at all, otherwise he would definitely beat him up!
"I'm sorry for him..." Li Jinchen lowered his eyes, and the tears in his eyes were about to fall.
Zhou Yunqing had a complicated expression: "Even if we find him back, what will happen? What are you going to do?"
"I'll give him the throne, and I want to be with him." Li Jinchen turned his face away, not wanting Zhou Yunqing to see his vulnerable side.
Zhou Yunqing hesitated: "..."
"You know he never wanted the throne..." Zhou Yunqing stood up, and a sigh dissipated in the air as the man left.
"Li Jinchen, when he comes back, we'll compete fairly. I like him, and I won't lose to you this time." Zhou Yunqing left after saying this.
Li Jinchen lowered his head in a daze, and he knew that Zhou Yunqing and the others had always liked Xie Anci.
He clenched his hands into fists, and he would not give up.
"Jinchen——" A shout brought Li Jinchen back to his senses. He looked up at the haggard woman, "Sister."
"Well, you finally woke up. Li Yunhuai and Eunuch Sun have been locked up in the dungeon. Do you want your sister to help you vent your anger?" Li Jinxuan touched Li Jinchen's face lovingly.
The man had lost a lot of weight and looked haggard.
Gu Lingyu quietly retreated, leaving the space for the two siblings.
"No need, I want to do it myself." Li Jinchen shook his head. He still remembered the torture and humiliation he suffered from Li Yunhuai.
Li Jinxuan nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you. Then you should take good care of yourself first, and we'll talk about other things after you get better."
Li Jinchen hummed and leaned against the head of the bed, looking a little tired.
Li Jinxuan talked to him for a while and then left.
Gu Lingyu came out and saw Zhou Yunqing standing under the eaves, so he walked up as well.
"What are you doing?" Gu Lingyu asked.
"I'm leaving." Zhou Yunqing replied.
Gu Lingyu was stunned: "Where are you going?"
"I plan to look for Xie Anci. If I find him first, don't blame me for taking the initiative." Zhou Yunqing chuckled, and the faint smile looked a little lonely in the moonlight.
Gu Lingyu frowned. So this was Zhou Yunqing's idea.
"It's not certain who will find him first." Gu Lingyu muttered softly.
"See you later." Zhou Yunqing said and turned away without any reluctance.
If Zhou Yunqing hadn't come back to clarify what happened that year, he wouldn't have come back.
But there was one thing he always wanted to ask Xie Anci.
Why was he so cruel that year and sent him to the prostitute's house?
Xingyan Palace
Pei Xuan was relieved to hear the news that the emperor had woken up.
The next day, before dawn, Pei Xuan took his package and got on the horse.
Pei Lin stood by and was reluctant: "Master, are you really leaving?"
"Well, from now on, this Xingyan Palace will be handed over to you." Pei Xuan nodded firmly.
"But Master... I can't do it." Pei Lin cried, he couldn't bear to leave Pei Xuan, he didn't want to be left alone in the palace.
"You have grown up, and you should be independent, or your master can help you find an apprentice?" Pei Xuan thought.
He remembered that his master also found Pei Lin for him to take care of.
"This... is not necessary." Pei Lin quickly wiped away his tears. It would be more comfortable for him to take care of a little kid.
"This is how my master went through it."
Pei Lin: "..."
I'm sorry for causing trouble for my master.
Pei Lin repented in his heart.
"Then will Master come back?" Pei Lin asked expectantly.
"Of course." Pei Xuan nodded. He was always worried that Pei Lin was still here.
"That's good." Pei Lin was relieved. "Master, have a safe journey."
"Well, write to Master if you have anything." Pei Xuan touched Pei Lin's head.
"Okay." Pei Lin responded and watched Pei Xuan leave with a smile.
Seeing Pei Xuan disappear from his sight, Pei Lin couldn't help but wipe the corners of his eyes.
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. The weather these days is also very good.
Although it is cold, it seems warm with the sun shining.
"Hum hum hum..." A young man hummed a song and fiddled with the medicinal materials in his hand. The sunshine in recent days made him happy and worried.
The collected herbs can finally be dried in the sunny weather, but the winter grass in the valley will probably wither in a few days.
He picked up the handsome man when he went to pick winter grass that day.
Bang -
the young man's singing stopped abruptly, pulling him back from his thoughts.
He hurried into the room and saw the man on the bed looking at him with an aggrieved face, and his voice was soft: "Water~"
The young man covered his chest, took a few breaths and hurried forward.
"I'll pour it for you, don't move."
Xie Anci looked confused, not knowing who the man in front of him was?
