Chapter 544 That was the only moment in his life when he felt warm
Intense stabbing pain suddenly arose from his chest, but it instantly accumulated to a level that he could not bear. Jiang Silin's body paused, and he slapped the boy in the abdomen!
Guan Zhili's suppressed cry of pain and the sound of him falling to the ground overlapped with each other, and were drowned out by Jiang Silin's angry roar.
"What did you do to me?!"
"What did you do to me you bastard?!"
The cloth on Jiang Silin's chest was stained with blood into a darker black color, and it was sticky and dripping with blood.
The situation at Guan Zhili was not much better.
Jiang Silin had used almost all of his strength in that palm strike just now. As soon as his thin body fell to the ground, he suddenly turned over and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Zhu Qian, who knew how much the young man liked this new brother, held his breath for a moment. He no longer cared about chasing after those traitors who made him hate him so much, and immediately rushed towards the direction where Guan Zhili fell.
He stretched out his hand and tentatively pressed twice on the place where Guan Jieli was attacked. After finding out the other party's injury, the look in his eyes immediately sank.
"how?"
A low, anxious voice came from above my head.
Zhu Qian looked up in response, met Jiang Yanchuan's concerned eyes, and then shook his head slowly and heavily.
Guan Zhili had several broken ribs, and he couldn't determine the condition of his lungs for the time being. But seeing that he was having difficulty breathing and looked like he had just been pulled out of the water, he could clearly tell that... this guy was probably beyond help and that no medicine could cure him.
Jiang Yanchuan's eyebrows trembled when he heard this: "Get out of the way."
Zhu Qian quickly stood up and made room for Emperor Mingze.
Jiang Yanchuan squatted down and took out a small and exquisite white porcelain bottle from his sleeve. He poured out all the pills inside and placed them at Guan Zhili's lips: "Open your mouth."
In the palm of his hand was the pill that the young man had stuffed into his hand earlier. The instructions that were stuffed into his hand along with the medicine bottle said that this pill was made with the life's work of a medical genius from the previous dynasty. It could replenish blood and energy at a critical moment, allowing a seriously injured person to hang on to his last breath and give them time to find a way to treat him.
A "ho ho" sound like a leak of air came out of Guan Zhili's throat. Hearing the sound, he forced himself to turn around and glanced at the rough hand that Emperor Mingze had handed to him.
After seeing the pill in the other's hand, he shook his head weakly: "Thank you... Thank you, Your Majesty——"
But no need.
He had already made up his mind to die before coming here today, and he didn't even have the slightest intention of living. He didn't want to waste the pills in Emperor Mingze's hand, which were obviously very expensive.
——He personally killed his biological father who might have loved him very much. As retribution, he deserves to pay with his life.
Jiang Yanchuan's eyes darkened, and he stretched his hand forward a short distance: "Don't make trouble!"
Guan Zhili turned around and spat out another large mouthful of blood. Just as he was about to say something, he heard a series of crazy laughter coming from the opposite side.
“Hahahahahaha—”
“Hahahahahahahahahahahaha—”
Jiang Silin stretched out his hand and pressed several acupuncture points on his body several times before he was finally able to utter coherent sentences.
He looked at Jiang Yanchuan opposite him with a wild laugh, and the curves of his lips and eyebrows were full of sarcasm.
"Jiang Yanchuan! It has come to this, why are you still pretending to be a good person?!"
"If you really felt sorry for that little brat you found from nowhere, why would you send him on such a fatal mission?!"
"You are so hypocritical—"
"You are just like that old guy. You pretend to be kind on the surface, but you are actually cold-hearted. In order to kill me, you can even use a child this old. It's simply-" "Jiang Silin." Jiang Yanchuan suddenly spoke, interrupting the other party, "I brought the gift back from Beiming."
Just this one sentence made Jiang Silin's facial expressions freeze.
He had a gloomy face and stared at Jiang Yanchuan's expression, as if trying to find the subtle changes in the other's expression.
Jiang Yanchuan ignored Jiang Silin's reaction and continued to talk: "As an abandoned son left in the palace by King Beiming, he led the ministers who had not yet escaped to surrender out of the city. At that time, he was extremely thin and even his robe was very worn out from washing."
"I became somewhat interested in this child, so I sent someone to track him down."
The few people who knew the source of the news did not speak out to expose Jiang Yanchuan's nonsense.
"Eight years ago," Jiang Yanchuan spoke word by word, almost cruelly revealing the news he had heard from the young man, "He was left in the depths of Luwei Alley. Someone happened to pass by and took him into the palace. He replaced the baby girl that the concubine had just given birth to, and became the prince who was bullied by everyone in the palace."
Jiang Yanchuan slowly repeated the place name that he had just heard from Qiu Suxin not long ago. Jiang Silin's breathing stagnated, and his face, which had already lost color due to serious injuries, turned even paler visibly.
He looked blankly back and forth at the boy's face. After a while, he said in a panic, "Impossible!"
"Jiang Yanchuan! Don't think you can just do this—"
The warm liquid flowed across his cold cheeks. Jiang Silin angrily accused Jiang Yanchuan of his inferior methods. It felt like a huge rock was pressing on his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Amidst the shouting at the top of his lungs, Guan Zhili spoke weakly, "Daddy..."
Jiang Silin seemed to have a switch pressed by someone, and all his movements stopped instantly.
"Zhili, Zhili, I heard from Your Majesty that you and mother sent people to Beiming to look for me. Is that true?"
Guan Zhili was already very weak, pausing several times in the middle of his sentence, and his voice was extremely weak, but it was just this sentence that made Jiang Silin's body freeze for a long time before he uttered, "Then why did you..."
It was a nonsensical sentence, but Guan Zhili understood it.
His father was asking him why he stood on Emperor Mingze's side, why he used hidden weapons against him, and why he refused the life-saving pills.
Guan Zhili lowered his eyes.
"Because……"
In the darkest moment of his life—
"She walked through the crowd, came to my side firmly, and took my hand."
That was the only moment in his life when he felt warm.
He couldn't let his biological father harm his young family due to treason, so he had to do it himself.
He killed his own father, so he can no longer live in this world.
After saying this, Guan Zhili suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood. Then, his eyes closed weakly and he fell to the side.
Before his mind completely fell into darkness, he finally heard a heart-wrenching sound from the other side -
“Save him!”
"Jiang Yanchuan, please save him!"
"I'm not rebelling anymore, please save him——"
That's great.
Such an inappropriate thought popped up in his dizzy mind.
There is one more person who loves him in this world.
