Chapter 37: Jun Xin Chuan [Edit] You don’t want to die, have you asked me...
When they returned to their yard, Xie Yun was lying weakly on the bed. His face was pale due to the accidental bleeding, and he was frowning in pain even in his sleep due to the unbearable abdominal pain.
Han Zhen accompanied Xie Yun just out of the Queen's bedroom. The afternoon sun was scorching. Xie Yun walked for a while and was passing by the garden when she suddenly started bleeding from her lower body and fainted on the ground.
Han Zhen was really scared and quickly called out to the people around him to inform Yan Huinan.
Even now, Han Zhen is still frightened.
Now seeing Yan Huinan coming back soaking wet, her heart sank to the bottom. Until Yan Huinan should have known everything completely.
When Yan Huinan was on his way back, Si Wen had already ordered someone to take the collected medicinal residues that Han Zhen had secretly poured out to the imperial physician for examination.
Now the results are out.
That is the powerful contraceptive soup!
Everything came to light, but it was just another blow to Yan Huinan's heart.
He moved a chair and sat beside Xie Yun's bed for a long time, not letting anyone get close to them. He sat there until dark, when Xie Yun showed signs of waking up.
He then called someone in to take care of him.
He also ordered Si Wen to prepare a side room for him, and he would sleep there from then on.
Han Zhen bravely called out to Yan Huinan, "General... things are not what you think. Wait until Madam wakes up, and then you can talk it out with her..."
Yan Huinan's gaze was like a sharp blade, glancing over coldly and whispering, "If you say anything more, get out!"
Han Zhen felt as if she were being roasted by fire, burning with anxiety. Madam had said she simply hadn't decided to become a mother.
But the general can't hear anything right now, and his wife is also very weak. What should he do?
When Xie Yun woke up, all she could see in her blurry vision was Han Zhen, who was crying out of anxiety, and a stool covered in water.
She tried hard to recall and remembered that she had fainted. Before she fainted, she felt a warm current under her body, and when she looked down, she saw a large pool of blood.
Xie Yun knew she hadn't properly controlled the ratio and dosage of the medicine, and had made a mistake. Sure enough, one shouldn't be lazy for too long...
She forced a smile and touched Han Zhen's hand, "I'm fine, don't cry. I can get better."
But the next moment, Han Zhen's tears burst out: "Madam, the general...he knows everything."
Xie Yun's head was buzzing and in chaos.
He knew everything. For some reason, Xie Yun didn't feel any pleasure in her heart. Instead, she stared at the pool of reflective, glittering water on the stool, as if she were being swallowed by it. In that moment of distraction, an uneasy emotion flowed through her body like water.
"Yeah……"
Han Zhen continued, "The general has asked Si Wen to clear out an empty room, and he's going to move in there. Madam, what should we do? Others will think you and the general have a grudge. Madam, you don't have much prestige in the general's mansion to begin with, and you haven't even had a few days of peace. If people think you and the general have a grudge, I wonder how arrogant they'll be and how they'll try to bully you!"
I have no prestige in the general's mansion, I get bullied, and I have grudges against you... Han Zhen, your words are really pertinent and hit the nail on the head!
Xie Yun's mind raced for a moment, but her physical discomfort made it impossible for her to think straight, so she could only smile awkwardly: "That's it."
Han Zhen was genuinely worried about her own wife. Other wives were always trying to maintain respectability, vying for favor, and being on guard all day, desperately trying to win their husbands' affections. Their general's mansion didn't have concubines, so the wife didn't have to be so cautious or fight for anything. But she saw her own wife... she had no energy at all. "What's going on?"
"Just... recuperate." Xie Yun forced a nonchalant smile. What could she do now? The deed had already been done. If Yan Huinan was really angry, or had any other emotions, how could she influence him?
But her heart felt...sour and bitter. What was going on?
She was so straightforward when she took the medicine, but now she has become so pretentious?
No, it must be because she is feeling very unwell. She will be fine after she recovers.
Thinking this, she simply lay back down on the bed, pulled the quilt over herself, and pretended to be calm as she instructed Han Zhen, her voice muffled by the quilt: "Wake me up to take medicine when the time comes. Don't bother me unless it's something important."
Han Zhen was extremely worried, but he mustered up the courage to ask, "Madam, do you have the general in your heart?"
It would have been better if Han Zhen didn't ask this question. Xie Yun's originally strange, aggrieved and sour heart was finally punctured, and all the sourness inside came out all at once.
She didn't want to coax anyone anymore, but facing Han Zhen who treated her sincerely, she still held back her temper, turned her back to her, and said in a stiff tone: "Do you think I'm having a good life here? Do you think I should have him in my heart?"
Han Zhen immediately explained, "No, Madam! I'm definitely on your side. I admire you as a woman of excellence. But I also sincerely hope you can be happy! It's just that you've been ill these days, and I can see that the general's concern and concern don't seem fake. When you fainted today, I was completely panicked and sent someone to look for the general. When the general arrived, he saw you lying in a pool of blood. He was even more frightened and shocked than I was. He was completely different from his usual self."
Han Zhen talked to himself, and Xie Yun closed her eyes and listened quietly.
"Later, the imperial physician said you had taken contraceptive soup. I was terrified at the time, thinking the general was going to execute me on the spot. But the general decisively went to the queen's palace. As a result, he came back soaking wet, completely dazed... But even so, the general sat here and waited until the lady was about to wake up before leaving. Perhaps the general had you in his heart. I, I, I, I'm not speaking for the general, nor am I sorry for the general. I'm sorry for the lady. I'm afraid of the lady..."
Xie Yun interrupted, her voice tired: "Okay, Han Zhen, I'm tired. Stop talking."
"Okay, then Ma'am, you should have a good rest. I'll go outside and keep an eye on the medicine."
Whether they care or not, love or not, can there be a result between them? National hatred and family feuds are enough to drive lovers to death.
Instead of testing and confirming love with each other, even if you really express your feelings to each other in the end: Yes, I like you, I have you in my heart, and you are very important to me.
But as long as I think about my father killing his relatives, he killed my father. Looking at Yan Huinan's expression, as long as he catches Xie Qingyun, he will not let him go.
I just think it's ridiculous and nonsense.
Isn't it disgusting? Isn't it hateful? It's like eating a stinking stone. First it gets stuck in your throat, and after you try hard to swallow it, it rips through your internal organs, ultimately torturing you. Oh, and then there's that person who says they feel sorry for you. It's always a mutual torment.
Can we still love each other peacefully like this?
How can love be so great that it can overdraw morality and overdraw life?
If one day she is willing to die for someone, or someone is willing to die for her, then we can talk about whether they love each other or not. That is the kind of love that is somewhat practical.
It doesn't matter if you have it in your heart or not, people are always cold and selfish. It's hard to change.
Xie Yun thought that perhaps she should listen to the Queen and take a concubine for Yan Huinan. This way, perhaps his attention would be diverted to other women, and he would be less wary of her.
Maybe he would love that person terribly and eventually want to make her his legal wife and depose himself as the legal wife. Would he then let her go free?
-
The next day, Yan Yicheng waited outside the courtyard. They hadn't caught the suspicious individual yesterday, but today they had stepped up inspections of the drinking water and food in the palace to ensure there were no issues.
Si Wen came in to inform Yan Huinan that Yan Yicheng was coming to discuss matters.
But no one was found in the side room, and there was no sign that anyone had slept on the bed.
Finally, Si Wen and Yan Yicheng found the person in the training ground.
The early morning fog in Fenggao was thick, and a dark and lonely figure was buried in the fog, as if in another world.
He was bending down to pick up an arrow from the quiver and shot it casually. With a "bang", the arrow hit the target heavily.
The target was unclear in the fog, but none of this could stop Yan Huinan. Everyone knew that the Great Zhou's God of War had eyes sharper than an eagle's, capable of hitting an arrow through the chaotic battlefield from a hundred paces away.
In the sixth year of the Ming Gao reign, the late Emperor held a hunting expedition in the imperial hunting grounds. Yan Huinan, only twelve years old at the time, won first place and was rewarded with a precious bow presented as tribute from the frontier, and was allowed to accompany him to Mongolia.
The same year was also the first year that Yan Huinan taught Xie Yun archery.
Yan Yicheng didn't know what was going on, but when he looked at Yan Huinan from afar, he saw the loneliness and desolation lingering around him like the morning fog, thick and difficult to dispel.
Only when I got closer did I see that the small wooden table next to the quiver was piled with wine bottles, and there was a thick pile of arrows under the target not far away.
Yan Yicheng: "General, have you not slept a wink all night?"
Si Wen and Yan Huinan grew up together, and he knew Yan Huinan well. This was his way of venting. In the past, if he used archery to vent his emotions, he would just shoot a deer in the hunting grounds, or if Si Wen and Si Wu simultaneously threw him a vase, until the princess felt so distressed that she sent someone to stop him, and he would stop. There was usually a limit.
Aside from the time when the old marquis and the eldest princess left, no matter how angry or upset he was, he had never experienced such a night of restlessness. In recent years, nothing had been able to stir up such a storm in Yan Huinan's heart.
He nodded, "Yeah."
Seeing someone approaching, Yan Huinan's wooden face finally showed some signs of humanity. He numbly and indifferently put down his bow and arrow, and as he walked over, he seemed to have returned to normal.
Listen to Yan Yicheng's report as usual.
But Yan Yicheng and Si Wen could both see that Yan Huinan seemed to have lost his soul.
Yan Yicheng finished his brief report and left. As soon as he left, Yan Huinan collapsed. Si Wen touched his forehead, which felt like boiling water.
The imperial physician took the general's pulse and prescribed some medicine, advising, "Normally, a person as healthy as you shouldn't fall ill so easily. However, you've been overworked for days, and after being caught in the rain yesterday, you didn't take care of yourself. Now, your anger has taken its toll, and that's why you've fallen ill. I just used medicine to induce vomiting, which has driven out a lot of the alcohol in your stomach, as well as the bad blood that's been accumulating in your chest. From now on, take some medicine and rest well for a few days, and you'll be fine."
Yan Huinan said stubbornly, "No need, just prescribe some strong medicine."
He needs to get better quickly.
The imperial physician said in embarrassment, "But..."
Si Wen said, "Just follow my instructions. Thank you, Imperial Physician."
Yan Huinan fell asleep and slept from early morning to evening. He glanced at the setting sun outside. Yesterday's rain had washed the sky clean, and today's sunset was particularly brilliant and red.
Actually, spitting out this little bit of blood was nothing to Yan Huinan. He suppressed two coughs, got up and went to Xie Yun's bedroom.
She was sitting and drinking medicine.
Seeing this scene, Yan Huinan couldn't help but think of Xie Yun drinking contraceptive soup without his knowledge. The anger he had suppressed all night finally broke free.
He walked over and paranoidly snatched the medicine bowl from Xie Yun's hand. He asked Si Wen to call the imperial physician over and wait until the imperial physician checked and confirmed that it was just a normal tonic before putting it down.
Afterwards, he dismissed everyone, his eyes gloomy, suppressing his anger, "Xie Yun, have you forgotten how you begged me to spare your life?"
"You used that little bit of kindness you had in the past to ask me to let you go. Now you don't want to die yourself, have you asked me?"
