"Ninth sister!"
Under the shrill sound, Chu Li's eyelashes suddenly trembled...
"Xiao Jiu!"
Chu Yeli caught this moment, just like a person who fell into the abyss saw a ray of hope. He lifted Chu Aotian away and rushed to the bed.
"Xiaojiu, wake up, wake up quickly!"
However, the momentary tremor was like a last glimmer of light, and then it fell into endless peace again.
His heart ached terribly.
"Someone! Hang Chu Aotian outside and shout!"
"ah?"
Chu Aotian pointed at his nose in astonishment, "Me?"
The next second, he was grabbed by four guards and hung on the beam outside to swing.
Chu Yeli!
You bastard!
"Ninth sister, save me!"
"Ninth sister!"
"Ah! I'm afraid of heights and I need to pee!"
Chu Aotian was hung outside, and his screams spread throughout the Fengyi Palace. The miserable and helpless sounds filled Chu Li's ears.
Chu Yeli sat in front of the couch, holding Chu Li's hand, the paranoia in his eyes was almost distorted:
"Xiao Jiu, if you don't wake up, there will be many people who will suffer with you. Don't worry, I will never let you be alone, no matter where you go."
Time passes by little by little.
From afternoon to evening and then to night.
The palace maid brought the medicinal porridge, and Chu Yeli fed it to him personally, but he just couldn't get it down. No matter how much he ate, the same amount came out.
The horror in the man's eyes became even more intense.
The palace maid was worried and hurried to get a basin of warm water.
The man wrung out the handkerchief and wiped the stickiness from the corners of her mouth. Then he took her hands and wiped them one by one, carefully as if he was protecting a treasure in his palms.
As he wiped and wiped, his eyes turned red and he couldn't help crying, leaning on his arms.
He thought of his childhood.
Thinking back to the time when the country was destroyed and the family was ruined, and the clansmen died tragically before my eyes, the flowing blood almost formed a gurgling stream.
I think of the carefree days in Qingfengju.
"I just want to live a good life with you, Xiaojiu, I really don't want anything, I just want to be with you, why is it so difficult...why!?"
God treated him unfairly.
Everything he wanted was like bubbles in the water.
He is always alone and cannot grasp the light he wants in his entire life.
"What have I done wrong? Why do you all have to do this to me?!"
Home, no home.
Country, there is no country.
Chu Yeli held her face and her unbridled crying drifted in the night, quiet and abrupt. It was the first time she cried so fragilely, like a child.
Sobbing and sad.
All her emotions were released. She didn't know how long she cried. She took a deep breath, raised her head with swollen eyes, and was surprised to see that the person on the couch had opened his eyes.
"Xiao Jiu!"
He was stunned and cautious, fearing that it was an illusion.
"Xiaojiu, you...you're awake?"
Chu Li woke up.
After four days and three nights of deep sleep, he had lost two pounds and looked haggard. The light in his eyes had faded away, and he was as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
Not only did she wake up, she also remembered the lost memories from her childhood.
Now, she finally figured out all her thoughts.
"Xiaojiu, are you hungry? You must be hungry, you must be. I will ask the people in the imperial kitchen to... you, why are you crying..."
Chu Yeli was suddenly so frightened that he didn't even know where to put his hands.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Don't cry, don't cry!"
Tears flowed from the corners of my eyes, disappeared into my hair, and vanished into the pillow.
Chu Li looked at the curtain above his head and finally smiled:
"Chu Yeli, am I really the one who has wronged you..."
The hoarse voice was weak and empty, but every word was spoken clearly with intense pain.
His previous roar echoed in my mind:
"Chu Li! You are never afraid of making me sad!"
"You never cared about me!"
"You promised to stay with me forever!"
At that time, she felt guilty and heartbroken.
Thinking about it now, it is so ridiculous.
"You knew that I liked Chu Dichi, but you tricked him into jumping off a cliff in front of me, and completely cut off my thoughts."
"He came back alive and cast a spell on me, causing me to lose my mind and kill the person I loved the most with my own hands."
She leaned against the bed and stood up weakly, her pale eyes lifeless.
"Chu Yeli, tell me, am I not afraid of you being sad, or are you not afraid of me being sad?"
Chu Yeli's breathing tightened slightly, and he looked at her in shock.
"When we were young, you tricked me into making my uncle a king, causing him to leave his homeland and go to Southern Xinjiang when he was only twelve years old. No wonder my uncle hated me so much, and no wonder he wanted to kill me every time he came back from Southern Xinjiang to report on his work."
Chu Li's eyes gradually turned red with anger.
"All this is because of you!"
Originally, she could have a stable life, and the friendship she established with her uncle in childhood was enough to protect her throughout her life.
It turns out that all the hardships and difficulties she had experienced over the years were caused by Chu Yeli!
"Even though I made that promise to you when I was young, you have always used me and hurt me. You are the one who should say sorry!"
She had been deceived by him for so many years.
She was deceived so badly!
"Your instigation when you were young harmed my uncle and me!"
Today, she has finally figured it all out.
She was the one who let Chu Dichi down!
Thinking back to that day when she stabbed his abdomen with the broken sword, he was comforting her that it was okay... She would never be able to forgive herself in her life, let alone Chu Yeli!
"I didn't mean to do that back then."
Chu Yeli immediately explained, "Xiaojiu, no one taught me how to love someone. I have been alone since I was a child, growing up in the dark. No one has ever taught me what love is or how to love."
"Everything I did was to keep you!"
"This is selfishness, not love."
Chu Li's eyes were filled with sadness.
"Chu Yeli, please let me go."
"impossible!"
Chu Yeli stepped forward and held her shoulders. "What should I do if you leave? We are already married!"
"I don't love you."
She did not struggle, but looked at him with sorrow in her eyes, "Chu Yeli, I don't love you, do you understand? I may die trapped in the palace, but my heart is not here."
At this point, she no longer has any feelings for him.
There is no longer any love between brother and sister.
Chu Yeli's eyes were bloodshot, "Xiaojiu, listen to my explanation. What happened in childhood and on our wedding was all because I was jealous of Chu Dichi. I was jealous that he could win your heart. It was obviously me who met you first!"
"Now that Chu Dichi is dead, let's live a good life, okay? Just like when we were little, we were together without worries..."
Chu Li brushed his hand away and laughed till tears came out:
"I can't go back."
"We can go back! As long as we're together!"
"I can't go back, Chu Yeli..."
"As long as you have the will, you can go back!"
Chu Yeli grabbed her hand, paranoid to the extreme, "Stay by my side, I am not afraid that your love for me will fade, just a little bit, as long as you are willing to take a small step, the rest will be left to me."
"I don't want to!"
