Chapter 280: Two Worlds of Obsession
There was a roar in his ears, and every drop of lost blood pushed the panic and despair in Lu Yunzheng's heart to the peak.
He stared wide-eyed, struggling to utter two words in his throat: "Save me, save me..."
The voice was weak and full of pleading.
The eunuch who was supporting Lu Yunzheng had already turned pale with fright. Blood had soaked his robe, and the sticky touch made his legs go weak.
He collapsed on the ground, looking at Lu Yunzheng in horror, at a loss as to what to do.
At this moment, a pair of strong arms took Lu Yunzheng, and the voice trembled: "Zheng'er! Zheng'er!"
Lu Yunzheng suddenly raised his eyes, and the moment he saw his father, tears instantly rolled down his cheeks.
It's so nice to see my dad one last time before I die...
His lips trembled with fear and helplessness, mixed with deep regret, and he said in a hoarse voice:
"Dad... Dad... I'm sorry..."
"My child...I have failed you...Mother...Please don't let me know. If my child is dead...I can't bear it..."
Lu Yongzhu looked at Lu Yunzheng's miserable appearance, his usually resolute face instantly turned as pale as snow, but he pretended to remain calm.
He stretched out his hand and quickly and forcefully covered Lu Yunzheng's neck.
But blood still continued to flow out from between his fingers, and every drop was like a sharp blade, cutting his heart fiercely.
"Imperial Physician! Where is the Imperial Physician?"
Lu Yongzhu's eyes were red and he screamed around.
The eunuch at the side finally came to his senses and replied in a trembling voice: "It has been called, it's time to come!"
Shen Zhengsheng and Jiang Xun arrived before the imperial physician.
When he saw Lu Yunzheng covered in blood, Shen Zhengsheng stopped suddenly.
He turned his head and glanced at Jiang Xun.
Because he knew that Jiang Xun was a doctor and his medical skills were not bad.
However, Jiang Xun's gaze only lingered on the bloodstains on the ground for a moment, and then he walked past Lu Yunzheng without hesitation and walked into the house.
Seeing this, Shen Zhengsheng glanced at Lu Yongzhu, moved his lips, but said nothing.
Although he had only heard about that distant past life, he had experienced it personally every year and had felt heartbroken.
Even as a father, he cannot make decisions for Suisui, let alone lend a helping hand without permission.
Xiuzhi undoubtedly stood on Suisui's side.
As Lu Yunzheng was trembling all over, he caught a glimpse of a blush passing by from the corner of his eye. He raised his eyes instinctively, but happened to meet Shen Zhengsheng's gaze.
It was disgust and resentment, with a hint of complexity and hesitation, which was finally replaced by coldness and indifference.
Lu Yunzheng's heart trembled suddenly.
Because he suddenly realized that unlike him who was hiding the truth out of guilt, perhaps Shen Jiasui had already told his family everything about his past life without reservation.
Therefore, Uncle Shen should have known long ago that he was one of the culprits who caused the execution of the entire Shen family in the previous life.
The sins of the past are indeed following me like a shadow.
Even though he was about to die, he was still reminded that he had not admitted his mistakes and had not repented.
Lu Yunzheng felt increasingly colder, he shuddered, but was instantly held tightly in a broad embrace.
"Yun Zheng, Dad is here, don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."
Tears dripped and fell on his cheeks.
Lu Yunzheng looked up in disbelief and saw that his father, who was usually strong and calm, now had red eyes filled with fear and grief.
"Yun Zheng, hold on a little longer."
Lu Yongzhu's voice trembled and choked.
He wanted to carry Lu Yunzheng to find the imperial physician, but he was afraid that they would miss the imperial physician on the way, and he was also worried that Lu Yunzheng could not withstand the bumpy ride.
There is no parent in the world who can remain calm when seeing their child dying.
Even at this moment, if he could die for Lu Yunzheng, Lu Yongzhu would not hesitate at all.
When Lu Yunzheng saw his father's tears, he felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife and was filled with deep regret.
But in a flash, he felt an indescribable sense of relief.
He was just wondering what the meaning of his rebirth was.
He still made no progress, and even the way he died was exactly the same as in his previous life.
But at this moment, he was so grateful.
Because Dad is still alive.
He finally realized that his father loved him, but he was blinded by one thing and let his father down.
That's enough. That's enough.
It was a great blessing from God that he was allowed to have a second chance and save his father.
And the sins committed in the previous life...
Thinking of this, Lu Yunzheng raised his eyes and looked at Shen Zhengsheng not far away.
Always need to atone...
He also didn't want to carry this sin with him into the next life.
Lu Yunzheng gave a bitter smile, but was unwilling to reveal his past and present life in front of his father.
Dad has always admired and respected Uncle Shen. There is no need to let Dad know about the grudges in the previous life. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Dad and Uncle Shen will not even be able to be brothers.
And it seemed that Uncle Shen did not vent his anger on his father because of what he had done.
That's good enough.
So Lu Yunzheng took a breath and said meaningfully:
"It was me...I was selfish, arrogant, mean and vicious...I made such a big mistake."
"I know I was wrong...I really deserve to die..."
"I will pay with my life, and that's it... There will be no... There will be no next life..."
Having said this, Lu Yunzheng let out a long sigh. While his neck was aching, he felt a sense of relief.
As early as when he knew Xizhi's true face, he had already regretted it to death.
When he witnessed the siege of the Lu family and felt the same pain, he finally understood what sin he had committed.
And now...it's time to end it all.
Lu Yongzhu did not understand the deeper meaning of Lu Yunzheng's words, but he suddenly felt that Lu Yunzheng's whole body went limp, as if... the end was near.
He was so frightened that his face turned pale. Even though he had killed enemies without blinking an eye on the battlefield, at this moment he was trembling all over and almost lost his soul.
"Zheng'er!"
Lu Yunzheng was filled with grief, he reached out to pull his father's clothes, and left his last words:
"Dad...I am an unfilial child..."
"No...it's okay. In the last life...actually in the last life, I and you...were already father and son in the battlefield."
"In the next life, I will come back..."
"Forget it, forget it... Don't let Dad... have a son like me again."
Lu Yunzheng couldn't hide his bitterness and was so tired that he almost fell asleep.
Lu Yongzhu shook his head repeatedly and hugged Lu Yunzheng tightly, feeling heartbroken by the pain.
No, it's not.
It's his fault as a father!
It was because he didn't teach his child well that things have ended up like this!
"Zheng'er!"
“Here it comes—”
Just then, hurried footsteps were heard.
Two imperial doctors came running over with medical boxes on their backs. One of them was Imperial Doctor Zhang who had gone to the imperial prison with Jiang Xun to save Mr. Lin.
Lu Yongzhu's gloomy face suddenly lit up, and before the imperial physician squatted down, he spoke in a trembling voice:
"My two lords, you must save my son!"
The two imperial doctors did not dare to delay and hurried to check Lu Yunzheng's wound.
Lu Yunzheng felt himself being put down very gently. He lay on his back, and a clear sky appeared in his field of vision.
My hands and feet became colder and even began to go numb.
Lu Yunzheng never thought that he could hold on until the imperial physician arrived.
After all, in the previous life, Shen Jiasui raised his hairpin and it fell, and he only had time to swing his hand and stab out with a sword before he was completely dead.
He just...also swung out a palm.
It goes without saying that the person in the room must have died long ago.
Two lives entangled, and finally ended up perishing together. The evil fate is over, so what?... so what?...
Due to excessive blood loss, Lu Yunzheng's consciousness gradually became blurred, and he heard footsteps in a trance.
Amid the panicked voices, the gentle and steady sound of footsteps attracted his eyes instinctively.
What caught my eye was the scarlet official robe.
Jiang Xun...
Lu Yunzheng guessed this, and sure enough, the next moment, a familiar voice sounded, but it was not directed to him.
"Doctor Zhang, is the wound not too deep?"
"Master Jiang, you are here too!? Yes, how did you know?"
"The murder weapon was a hairpin."
"The person who attacked held most of the hairpin tightly in his palm. Only the front of the hairpin was stained with blood. He probably didn't intend to take Master Lu's life from the beginning."
Lu Yunzheng's eyelids twitched when he heard this.
Imperial Physician Zhang's voice sounded again: "The wound is indeed not deep, but it's fine if the hairpin is not pulled out. Once it is pulled out, this... Master Lu moved several times and lost so much blood. This is trouble!"
Jiang Xun responded: "Yes, if the hairpin had not been pulled out, I don't think his life would have been harmed."
Ding——
The clanging sound of a hairpin falling to the ground stung Lu Yunzheng's ears.
He turned his head with difficulty and caught a glimpse of the blood-stained hairpin head from the corner of his eye. It must have been specially sharpened because it looked so sharp.
He was completely defenseless at the time, and the attacker could easily pierce his throat with just a little force, even with his left hand...
As to whether she originally wanted to pull out the hairpin, Lu Yunzheng could no longer tell.
Because when he swung the palm, he did not give himself the chance to think, nor did he give Xizhi any room to regret.
But, what is this...
Xizhi clearly wanted to drag him to death together, but in the end she couldn't bear it?
Oh, then he would rather believe that she was so weak that she had already lost all her energy.
After all, he was the only one who was deeply involved in this evil relationship from beginning to end.
One evil thought leads to two lifetimes of obsession, and until death, everything is false.
What a ridiculous and confusing two lives...
My consciousness was floating in and out, and the last thing I heard was my father's cautious but choking voice:
"Imperial Physician, how is my son?"
Lu Yunzheng felt a sore throat and tears rolled down his cheeks.
He committed many evil things and died young, having completely failed to live up to the kindness of his parents.
I’m afraid I won’t be worthy of being a human being in my next life.
If possible, I would like to be the red tasseled spear in my father's hand and the embroidery needle in my mother's hand.
I followed my father to guard the border and defend the country, and accompanied my mother in threading silk. I was always by her side day and night to repay her kindness in raising me.
In this way, there will be no regrets...
.......
Imperial Physician Zhang's voice sounded, apologetically: "General Lu, I'm sorry... I can't do anything."
