Tang Chen tried to sneak into the room quietly while Li Xinzhai wasn't paying attention to check on Wang Yanzhou. However, even if a pregnant woman tried very hard to be quiet, the wooden floor wouldn't let her.
She had already reached the doorway, and no one had come to stop her. Li Xinzhai hadn't noticed her crying. Tang Chen rubbed her hands together excitedly and gently pushed open the door. Suddenly, a huge figure rushed towards her. If Mo Yu hadn't been quick to pull her aside, the frantic Wang Yanzhou would have pushed her down the stairs.
Tang Chen covered his wildly beating heart and after a while he came back to his senses. Then he realized that the unknown creature that suddenly attacked him was Wang Yanzhou: "Wow, what's going on?"
Wang Yanzhou had disheveled hair and a distorted face as he waved his hands. His eyes were wide open and bloodshot. From a distance, he looked like a mad ghost.
Li Xinzhai had just heard Tang Chen's footsteps, but he couldn't leave because of Wang Yanzhou. He originally thought that Mo Yu would stop her outside, but this guy almost got Tang Chen hurt without saying a word.
Li Xinzhai glared at Mo Yu fiercely before saying to Tang Chen, "He's just suffering from the poison. Why don't you stay with them and chat instead of coming here? Didn't I tell you not to cause trouble?"
"I..." To be honest, Wang Yanzhou's appearance did frighten Tang Chen a little. But when he thought of the days he had spent in Zhiyou Forest and the numerous tiny wounds on his body, the sadness in his heart had long surpassed his fear.
Li Xinzhai saw Tang Chen's hesitant look and couldn't bear to say anything harsh. After adjusting his tone, he said, "Go ahead. He wouldn't want you to see him like this. Besides, he's unconscious right now. If I hurt you, I can't imagine how he'll punish himself when he wakes up."
Tang Chen wiped the tears from his eyes and prepared to leave: "...you must, you must take good care of him for me."
Li Xinzhai clamped down on Wang Yanzhou, who was waving his hands frantically to attack Tang Chen, and smiled faintly, saying, "Don't worry, you are my younger brother, and he is also my brother-in-law. I will naturally not bully him. Go back and rest."
After Mo Yu sent Tang Chen back to his room, he returned to find Li Xinzhai knocking Wang Yanzhou unconscious again and placing him on the bed. Wang Yanzhou had already taken the drug before Tang Chen arrived, so he should have been in a coma like the other poisoned people. Sometimes, he really couldn't understand what Li Xinzhai was thinking. He loved her so much, but he refused to speak. Once they got married, he would have no chance anymore, and he would just act like a bullied child, resorting to these little tricks.
Mo Yu leaned against the door and teased, "Oh, I thought you were so generous. Look at you, have you really figured it out, or are you even more confused?"
Li Xinzhai looked at the patient lying on the bed, who looked like a ghost, and said solemnly, "Could you please not suddenly say something and cause trouble for me at this time?"
Mo Yu couldn't help but laugh. Seeing that Li Xinzhai's face was already full of colors, he stopped teasing him: "Okay, then I'll go out and check the situation. It's very chaotic outside now. If the person you love disappears again, you will eat me up."
Li Xinzhai rolled his eyes at him and said coldly, "...Just know it, there's no need to talk about it all day long."
Li Xinzhai was good in every way, but this was the only thing that made Mo Yu very unhappy: "You can be so stubborn, but I've been feeling really pent up these days, so I won't play this love game with you anymore."
Mo Yu slipped away, leaving only Li Xinzhai and Wang Yanzhou in the room. The man on the bed looked like a madman who could be bullied by anyone. Li Xinzhai considered himself a rare talent, but why did Tang Chen fall in love with him?
Li Xinzhai looked at him quietly with his head down for a long time, then slowly walked to the bed and sat down. While helping Wang Yanzhou comb his messy hair, he was muttering something to himself.
"You know, I actually really hope you can continue like this. It's my selfish desire, maybe, maybe if you are like this, she will be able to see me in her eyes. But I also know that it's just a maybe without any confidence. If I could meet her before you, would everything be different?"
The person on the bed didn't answer, but the answer had already been on the horizon, hadn't it? Some things are just so magical. No matter the order, fate will eventually bring these two people together. So sad, so sad...
Mo Yu was just about to take a stroll in the town when he ran into Hua Wuxin, who was squatting at the door of the medicine house and happily playing with a few wild cats.
Hua Wuxin heard his footsteps and asked with a smile while playing with the cat, "Hey, why did you come out too, little brother?"
Mo Yu found these fur balls quite cute and was about to squat down to play with them with Hua Wuxin, but the little guys suddenly became furry when they looked at him. Mo Yu pulled his hand back awkwardly and said, "It smells very vinegary inside, come out and get some fresh air."
Hua Wuxin was showing off to Mo Yu, hugging the fur balls on the ground like a winner in life. "Actually, I don't quite understand. No matter how good this princess is, compared to Prince Qingliang and those confidantes Black Crow met, she doesn't seem to have any special qualities. What do you think?"
Mo Yu didn't dare to say anything about this. For the sake of personal safety and mental health, it was better to keep his thoughts to himself: "If they heard it, I'm afraid there would be a fight."
Hua Wuxin said with a smile: "That's perfect, I'm just looking to stretch my muscles, right, little furball?"
Seeing that these fur balls really couldn't accept him, Mo Yu gave up struggling and whispered a question he had been holding back for a long time:
"...Boss Hua is extremely powerful. Could you tell me what Emperor Gan Zhao's current situation is?"
Hua Wuxin looked up at him with some surprise, then lowered her eyes and continued to play with the fur balls in her arms: "He is now just an old man waiting to die in the deep palace."
Mo Yu was stunned for a moment, and then the weather suddenly turned cold, making him shiver. "...This town is strangely deserted. I'll look around to see if there's anything wrong."
Hua Wuxin said jokingly, "Go ahead. If anyone asks, I'll just say you went to the bathroom."
...Inside the Nanyue camp, military advisor Xiao Liang stood on a high vantage point, surveying the still, calm Zhiyoulin before returning to the commander's tent. "General, I feel something is odd about this."
