Chapter 654 Has Xie Liangchen gone mad?
Jiang Nuanzhi responded along with the others, glancing behind the screen. Seeing the guards there nod slightly to him, he felt relieved and went out with the others.
She hadn't been out for long when her path was blocked, and a pair of black boots suddenly appeared in front of her.
Jiang Nuanzhi frowned and looked up, only to be met with a familiar face. The person in front of her was much taller, but his face was still handsome to the point of being almost demonic.
Jiang Nuanzhi's brows furrowed, her expression turning cold: "Xie Liangchen! What are you doing here?"
Didn't the Great Wilderness previously forbid the descendants of disgraced officials from participating in the imperial examinations? How come he was still able to enter the palace?
Judging from his current attire, Xie Liangchen has clearly been living a good life lately.
Xie Liangchen's peach blossom eyes were tinged with red as he looked down at Jiang Nuanzhi's jade-like profile: "Should I call you Doctor Jiang or Madam Li now?"
Actually, he had seen her a long time ago.
I saw her walking from the ceremonial gate from afar. The hem of her black official robe was stained with snow, which added to her sharp and fierce appearance.
This official robe didn't really suit her. Her features were gentle, her eyes crinkled when she smiled, and her gaze seemed to hold a warm light. She looked more like a pampered girl who should be cherished and protected.
However, she never seemed to bend her back.
Now, a speck of dust clung to his brows, and his eyelashes cast a faint shadow beneath his eyes, adding a touch of somber, indescribable charm.
He felt nothing but humiliation whenever he thought of her, and he didn't want to think about her. But now that he saw her, his eyes were uncontrollably drawn to her. His expression grew increasingly grim.
His expression was gloomy and unreadable. Dongzang vaguely sensed that the person in front of him was not friendly, so he squinted and stood in front of him.
Jiang Nuanzhi waved her hand.
It must be admitted that the male protagonist of the original book sometimes had a certain amount of luck about him.
Xie Liangchen had been injured time and again, yet he still managed to enter the imperial city. So, the person who had been following the Empress Dowager without her noticing was actually him. She wondered how he had gotten on the Empress Dowager's good side.
However, Jiang Nuanzhi didn't care much about these things and didn't have time to chat with him; she had a lot of things to do.
She only made sure that Baozhu didn't get too involved with him and follow the same old path.
No, Xuan Yue won't do either. That child is also from the Li family, and she seems like a good child now.
"Wait!" Seeing that Jiang Nuanzhi was about to leave, Xie Liangchen stopped her again.
"How dare you block our lady's way!" Dongzang narrowed her eyes. Clearly, the young man in front of her was looking at the lady with a less than innocent gaze. The general was away from home, and she had finally found such a good lady after so many years. She was determined to keep an eye on her. She was already thinking about how to beat the young man in front of her so badly that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him.
Jiang Nuanzhi frowned as well: "Is something the matter?"
Xie Liangchen pursed his thin lips: "Let's talk in private."
Jiang Nuanzhi frowned: "If you have something to say, say it here. My patience is limited."
Xie Liangchen's peach blossom eyes narrowed suddenly: "Jiang Nuanzhi, what if I said it was about Li Junping..."
Having said that, he took two steps ahead and went to the front.
Jiang Nuanzhi frowned, but still followed after him.
When no one was around, Jiang Nuanzhi looked at him and said, "Speak."
Xie Liangchen stared at the woman's face: "Your official robe doesn't look good. I actually prefer you when you were in the Great Wilderness, dressed in plain clothes, carrying a medicine box, looking natural and unadorned."
Now, clad in your official robes, though you still carry your medicine chest, your features have lost some of their gentleness, becoming sharp and unapproachable.
Although she was still breathtakingly beautiful
Xie Liangchen always believed that he could control his lust for beauty. At least he himself was such a beauty, and he knew how uncomfortable it made him when others looked at his face with lust.
But at this moment, looking closely at her features, he couldn't help but clench his fists, forcing himself to look away from her.
After a long while, she finally composed herself and asked herself, "Li Rong has abandoned you once again. Do you still want to stay by his side now?"
"Xie Liangchen." Jiang Nuanzhi took a deep breath: "Are you out of your mind? What I was like before and what I am like now has nothing to do with you."
Jiang Nuanzhi thought she would hear news about Ping'er, but she never expected that the words coming out of his pretty mouth would be worse than shit.
Hearing her rude words, Xie Liangchen frowned in disapproval: "Is Li Rong just letting you do this? He didn't even teach you the rules of the capital?"
He pursed his lips tightly in a daze, and said with a hint of earnestness in his voice, "Jiang Nuanzhi, in his heart, you will never be as important as the country, the people, or his achievements."
"He's not even willing to give up all of this for you."
“Come back to me. I will protect you and put you first in everything. These are tough times, and it’s even tougher for you to raise a child alone. I will do a better job than Li Rong.”
Jiang Nuanzhi stared at Xie Liangchen, whose eyes were slightly red, and was completely dumbfounded: "What did you say? Are you really crazy?"
The previous injury seems to have had a significant impact on the male protagonist; now it seems he's seriously mentally damaged.
Xie Liangchen stared intently at her, his rosy lips twitching slightly. "No need to doubt it. A gentleman's word is his bond. I want you back in my life. We can be like before. Jiang Nuanzhi, I will forgive and forget, as if none of this ever happened. Li Rong is not a good match for me. I don't care what happened between you and him. Let's start over."
"Huh?" Jiang Nuanzhi was so angry she laughed: "Xie Liangchen, should I thank you for letting bygones be bygones?"
Xie Liangchen raised his face, and under the swaying snowflakes, his beautiful appearance was like that of a snow fairy. He murmured in a low voice, almost bewitchingly, "He will never choose you between the country and the people, Fatty. Don't you understand? It is you and me who will share joys and sorrows."
"As long as you come back to my side, I will treat you like a jewel. I will never let you get involved in this trouble."
Looking at Xie Liangchen in front of her, Jiang Nuanzhi realized that this man was probably serious. Could it be that he had some masochistic tendency?
What's going on here? The male lead isn't going to find the female lead or the female supporting character, but instead he's going to find himself, the simp from the original book?
You really do see everything once you live long enough.
Jiang Nuanzhi's expression was strange, but after taking a deep breath, she still said with a show of kindness, "You're right, Li Rong is like that, but that's also why I like him. Just as I wouldn't give up my medical skills for him, we're the same kind of people. Do you understand?"
Xie Liangchen paused, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes. He seemed to vaguely hear Jiang Nuanzhi's words, and the fist he had been clenching tightly under his sleeve relaxed slightly. A smile appeared on his face: "You're too young to understand the depth of affection. My parents were inseparable. On the battlefield, they would risk their lives to save each other. After my mother passed away, my father followed her within three days."
They had no one else by their side from beginning to end, and were willing to give everything for each other.
And then there's Li Sheng and the young master; both share a bond where if one dies, the other will never live on.
Goodnight, my darlings
