Tan Tai Si gave a bitter smile.
If my sister doesn't want him anymore, why would she come out to see him?
Thinking of this, Tan Tai Si's eyelids drooped and he completely fainted.
"Asi, Asi, wake up."
Jiang Jingyu squatted in front of Tan Tai Si and patted his face gently.
Tan Tai Si had fallen into a coma, and Jiang Jingyu had to work hard to carry him into the house.
"Sister, don't go. I know I was wrong. Ah Si knows I was wrong."
Tan Tai Si, who was in a coma, started talking nonsense, his brows were furrowed and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead.
"Okay, I won't leave. I won't leave."
Jiang Jingyu leaned over and wiped the sweat from his forehead, smoothing his furrowed brows.
Tan Tai Si seemed to have noticed her movements and grabbed her hand in a daze.
"A Si, your hand is injured. Let me bandage it for you."
The more she argued, the tighter Tan Tai Si held her.
Finally, Jiang Jingyu coaxed Tan Tai Si gently and he let go of his hand.
In order to help the wound on his hand heal faster, Jiang Jingyu bought a healing pill from the system mall, crushed it and sprinkled it on his wound.
The fact that the wound healed overnight would inevitably make Tan Tai Si suspicious, so Jiang Jingyu specially picked out a healing pill. Although it could not heal the wound overnight, it could relieve 80% of the pain.
It was already late at night when the wound was treated.
The wooden bed in the bamboo house was too small and could only accommodate Tan Tai Si.
Jiang Jingyu knew that today was the day when Tan Tai Si's poison would break out. She moved the worn bench to the front of the bed and held his big palms with both hands to relieve the pain in his body.
Jiang Jingyu had just started to feel sleepy when Tan Tai Si had another nightmare.
"Sister, please don't chase me away..."
While talking in his sleep, Tan Tai Si's hands tightened subconsciously, and Jiang Jingyu lost all sleepiness because of his action.
She held Tan Tai Si's hand tightly, and when she saw the cold sweat on his forehead, she stood up and wiped it for him.
"Sister, I was wrong. Please don't chase me away, okay?"
In the dream, Tan Tai Si's brows were furrowed, he looked extremely uneasy, his trembling eyelashes were a little wet, and two crystal tears slid down from the corners of his eyes.
"A Si, I won't leave. I will always be with you."
Jiang Jingyu comforted him softly. Although she couldn't bear to see Tan Tai Si like this, if she didn't force him, he would probably never be honest with her.
Jiang Jingyu stroked his face with her fingertips and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, Tan Tai Si's eyelids moved and he slowly opened his eyes.
The moment he saw Jiang Jingyu, he was stunned at first. After feeling the warmth of her hand, his eyes gradually changed from astonishment to surprise. Then, various emotions such as uneasiness, guilt, and self-blame kept changing on his face.
The corners of Tan Tai Si's mouth trembled slightly, and he looked like a wronged little boy. He stared at her without blinking, and her eyebrows, her nose, and her mouth were all deeply imprinted in his mind.
Jiang Jingyu thought he was having a hysterical fit and called out softly, "A Si?"
A familiar voice rang in his ears. Tan Tai Si's eyes reddened and he called out aggrievedly, "Sister."
He slowly tightened his grip on Jiang Jingyu's hand, as if he wanted to imprison her in his grasp and not allow her to escape for the rest of her life.
Jiang Jingyu looked helpless: "How are you? Are you feeling better?"
Tan Tai Si thought Jiang Jingyu was asking about the injury on his hand, and hurriedly said, "Sister, it doesn't hurt anymore after I bandaged it."
"Well, that's good."
After wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, Jiang Jingyu straightened up. She was about to sit back on the bench, but Tan Tai Si thought she was leaving again and sat up from the bed.
He held Jiang Jingyu with both hands, his peach blossom eyes flashing with deep anxiety.
"Sister, I was wrong. I will never lie to you again. Can you forgive me this time?"
Jiang Jingyu frowned and said in a deep voice, "I'll give you a chance to explain."
The uneasiness in Tan Tai Si's eyes was instantly replaced by surprise. He moved to the side and patted the seat beside him.
"Sit down, sister!"
Jiang Jingyu sat down beside him and turned her head to look at him straight.
Tan Tai Si pursed his lips and told her everything he had hidden from her.
Including his identity and the poison in his body.
Tan Tai Si's real identity is the second prince of the Miaojiang royal family. He was thrown into a martial arts training ground by his father since he was young and was strictly required to practice various martial arts. At the age of ten, he was ordered to go to war with the army.
At first, Tan Tai Si thought that his father was so strict with him for his own good, so he did not covet the glory and wealth of the palace, and resolutely went to the martial arts training ground. No matter how tired he was from practicing martial arts, he never clamored to go back to the palace.
The dark days in the martial arts training ground lasted for five whole years.
He was brought back to the palace when he was ten years old, but was sent to the battlefield before he had the chance to meet his mother.
When he was fifteen, there was no war on the border, so he could not wait to return to the capital. However, what greeted him was his mother who was in her prime and had been poisoned and mute, and was tortured beyond recognition.
His father told him that the person who poisoned his mother was a palace maid who served beside his mother. Because he was resentful of his mother's punishment, the palace maid was executed by his father on the day of the incident.
But Tan Tai Si had a hunch that things were not that simple. He asked his mother privately, but every time he mentioned this matter, his mother's eyes were full of disapproval.
Every time he asked his mother to write the name of the person behind him, she would only advise him not to dwell on the past.
How could Tan Tai Si tolerate his mother being tortured to this extent? In order not to make his mother worry, he promised her not to pursue the matter anymore, but he kept investigating in private.
Although he didn't find out who poisoned his mother, he did find out one thing.
The reason why his father sent him to the martial arts training ground was not to let him learn some skills to protect himself, but to keep him away from the court.
Make him a puppet who only knows how to fight and kill, so that he will not pose any threat to his elder brother Tan Tai Yu.
After learning the truth, Tan Tai Si did not alarm the enemy, but continued to play the role of a loving father and a filial son.
In the past few years, Tan Tai Si has been busy playing the role of a loving father and a filial son. He secretly built a villa in the suburbs of Beijing, searched for an antidote for his mother, and cultivated his own power.
When the time came, he moved his mother to a villa outside Beijing, and fled from Miaojiang to the Central Plains to find an antidote.
He had been poisoned by the Gu since he was a child, but it only broke out once every six months. Every time it broke out, his mother would give him a red pill, and he would be fine after taking it.
But as he grew older, the attacks of the poison became more frequent and the pain became more severe. The red pills he took gradually became ineffective, and he could only endure each attack.
The night he first arrived in Central Plains, he unexpectedly discovered that Jiang Jingyu could suppress the poison in his body and block his pain, so he tried every means to get close to her, which led to the series of events that followed.
"Sister, this is all I have concealed. Now I have confessed everything. Can you forgive me?"
"For the last time, I forgive you."
"Then...can I continue to stay with my sister in the future?"
