Chapter 140 He would rather die than be someone else’s puppet
Aunt Hua left angrily, feeling very resentful towards Li Ying for not saving her.
"It looks like the Hua family hates you!"
Li Ying smiled bitterly.
This is the cycle of cause and effect. The first person he came to the imperial capital to rescue was from the Hua family, and now he is hated by the Hua family because of them.
"It doesn't matter."
In the morning, Aunt Yang came early to deliver breakfast. Li Ying saw that Ye Jingchi's face was pale and guessed that the poison in his body must have recurred.
"Ye Jingchi, go home quickly and remember to drink the bottle of wine in my bedroom."
Li Ying reminded.
Ye Jingchi nodded, gave Aunt Yang a few instructions, and then hurriedly left the hospital and returned to the courtyard.
After Ye Jingchi came back, his body began to tremble uncontrollably and blood slowly overflowed from the corners of his mouth. He rushed into Li Ying's room to look for the bottle of medicinal wine.
"Are you looking for it?"
Hearing the voice, Ye Jingchi turned around and saw Nan Shiran standing outside the door with a jar of wine in his hand. That wine was the one Li Ying usually gave him to drink.
"Nan Shiran, you are so despicable!"
Nan Shiran smiled brightly: "Ye Jingchi, I have said it long ago, anyone I, Nan Shiran, likes can only be mine, and I have the final say over their life and death!"
"So he sneaked in while we were not at home and took away the wine brewed by Li Ying." Ye Jingchi forced himself to lean against the door panel, his fingers touching the pistol at his waist.
Nan Shiran raised an eyebrow. "Don't say that. Li Ying is quite clever. She actually thought of a way to detoxify you. But it's a pity! You can't drink it!"
As Nan Shiran spoke, she gently loosened her grip, and the jar slipped from her hand and fell to the ground. She spat, and the wine spilled all over the floor.
"Nan Shiran, do you really want me to be your medicine man?" Ye Jingchi clenched the pistol, his fingers aching. He knew that when the poison took effect, he wouldn't even be able to pull the trigger.
Nan Shiran laughed charmingly: "Ye Jingchi, I said that asking you to be my medicine man was just an excuse. In fact, it is you who I want."
From the moment she saw him for the first time, Nan Shiran decided on him.
It’s a pity that Ye Jingchi is not interested in her and doesn’t like her. In order to get him, she does things that go against her conscience.
"So, you were the one who poisoned me?"
Nan Shiran sneered, "Haven't you already found out? Why do you still need to ask me?"
Ye Jingchi pulled out a pistol and pointed it at Nan Shiran's head: "Don't come over here! Or I'll shoot!"
Nan Shiran laughed, a laugh that was very arrogant: "Ye Jingchi, you no longer have the ability to shoot. Your hands are powerless at this moment."
Ye Jingchi's fingers trembled, and the pistol slipped from his hand. His arm felt like it was being bitten and gnawed by thousands of ants.
Ye Jingchi tried hard to lean against the door, not wanting to fall down in front of Nan Shiran.
He knew that as long as he fell, he would only belong to Nan Shiran for the rest of his life.
"Ye Jingchi, what's wrong with me? You would rather endure the pain of a thousand arrows piercing your heart than accept my detoxification for you?"
Ye Jingchi laughed coldly: "Nan Shiran, you are so funny. In order to make me be with you, you drugged me and poisoned me, and then you pretended to be a good person and detoxified me, and then asked me to be grateful to you and serve you for the rest of my life. It's a pity that your wishful thinking failed!"
"Ye Jingchi, if you don't obey, you will only die!" Nan Shiran said word by word.
Ye Jingchi's face was gloomy and cold: "Death, what's that? If I have to be with someone like you for the rest of my life, I'd rather die!"
"You..." Nan Shiran was furious: "Ye Jingchi, just for a woman who is pregnant with someone else's child, you are not even afraid of death?"
Ye Jingchi desperately endured the poison spreading throughout his body and smiled coldly: "Nan Shiran, you don't understand what love is, let alone respect for others."
Nan Shiran walked towards Ye Jingchi.
Ye Jingchi suddenly pulled out a dagger from his arms and stabbed it into Nan Shiran's heart, but his hand had lost its usual strength, and even though he used all his strength, he only stabbed Nan Shiran.
Ye Jingchi let go of his hand and walked out with big strides.
"Ye Jingchi!"
Nan Shiran ignored the pain in her body and chased after Ye Jingchi.
"If you don't take the antidote, you're going to die!"
Ye Jingchi walked all the way to the nearby moat and walked onto the bridge.
The rising sun cast its brilliant light, shining on his hard facial features, making him look cold and majestic.
"Ye Jingchi, do you really want to die?"
Nan Shiran, who caught up with them, was heartbroken.
He would rather die than be with me. He is really awesome.
"I, Ye Jingchi, will only have one wife in this life! That wife is Li Ying! If we can't be together in this life, then I hope that in the next life, we can grow old together! Nan Shiran, you will pay the price for everything you did today!"
Ye Jingchi leaped into the rushing stream...
Li Ying suddenly sat up, sweating profusely.
"Ye Jingchi!"
She had just had a dream in which Ye Jingchi was covered in blood and unconscious.
At this moment, the night was quiet, but Li Ying couldn't fall asleep. Ye Jingchi didn't come to take over the shift. Aunt Yang had been on duty all day. Li Ying was worried that she was old and might have some problems, so she ordered her to go back.
There was no one around Li Ying at the moment.
"Sister Yingying."
Lu Qingwan walked into the ward holding a sheet, "I'll stay with you today."
"Have you seen Ye Jingchi?"
Li Ying asked again out of concern.
Lu Qingwan shook her head: "Not to mention Ye Jingchi, I haven't even seen Zhou Qi for several days. This man is really unreliable. He can't even be found at the critical moment!"
Li Ying was worried that something must have happened to Zhou Qi.
But what about Ye Jingchi? Could something have happened to him too?
That's impossible. If Ye Jingchi fell ill, Aunt Yang would come and tell me.
Don't think too much, it will be fine!
In the morning, Aunt Yang came to deliver breakfast and was very happy to see Lu Qingwan there.
"I woke up this morning and found out that Captain Ye had returned to the group. He said he had something important to deal with, so I hurried over. Luckily, Miss Lu was there."
"Sister Yingying is about to give birth, and Ye Jingchi still wants to go back to the group?" Lu Qingwan complained again.
"With you guys here, it's okay. Ye Jingchi always has to busy himself with his own things."
As long as he is okay.
Aunt Yang added something more: "I don't know what happened, but when I got home, someone broke a jar of wine in the yard. You said it too."
Drinks?!
Broken!
"Aunt Yang, was the wine broken in front of my door?" Li Ying asked with a rapidly beating heart.
"Yes, it was right in front of your door. I don't know who broke it."
Li Ying's heart sank, and she suddenly felt a tightness in her chest and pain in her stomach.
"Miss Ying, what's wrong with you?"
"Sister Yingying, what's wrong with you?"
"Aunt Yang, Qingwan, my stomach hurts, it hurts so much. I might be giving birth!" Li Ying gritted her teeth hard, tears sliding down the corners of her eyes, not because of the pain, but to see Ye Jingchi off.
She knew that Ye Jingchi would never come back!
