poisoning
Lin Yan'an didn't understand what she meant, so he just sat by the bed and scooped up the medicine to feed her.
It wasn't until the medicine was finished that he reacted, "What did you just say? Huaiying, what did you just say?"
Fu Huaiying raised her head and touched his face. "Long time no see, Yan An, I'm sorry, it's me who has implicated you and the Marquis' Mansion."
Lin Yan'an was startled and stood up subconsciously. The bowl in his hand fell, and the shattering sound woke him up. He shook his head violently, as if in disbelief.
"You...you remember?"
Fu Huaiying nodded and smiled bitterly, "I remember now."
Lin Yanan looked at her in disbelief. After a moment, he suddenly stepped forward and hugged her tightly in his arms, saying in a trembling voice, "Huaiying... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
I'm sorry for making you endure so much alone, for letting you bear all that pain and hatred, and for letting you die alone in that dark cage...
Fu Huaiying glanced sideways and hugged him back, smiling sadly. The sob that almost burst out of her throat was suppressed in her chest, but the tears burst out uncontrollably.
Lin Yan'an once again recalled those memories buried deep in his heart, memories he dared not touch. He always remembered Huaiying's cold body, her lifeless face, her resolute words, her tearful eyes, and the damp imperial prison...
Fu Huaiying hugged him tightly, her tears soaking his clothes, "Yan An..."
As soon as the name lingered on her lips, the sobs in her throat could no longer be suppressed. Fu Huaiying was speechless and could only bite his clothes and cry. The hot tears penetrated the clothes and fell on his heart. Lin Yan'an could feel her pain.
"...I thought...I thought my mother was forced to death by Fu Liusong and Wen Shuangye...but even her survival was a test..."
Lin Yan'an lowered his eyes and held her in his arms. He couldn't see her face, but he could deeply feel her pain...
When Huaiying married him, she told him that she would personally avenge her mother's murder. He fought his way through the battlefield just to support her. On the way from Chongyang Palace to the Imperial Prison, he thought a lot. When he arrived in front of her, he saw her in pain and struggle, but he didn't understand why she refused to live.
Until now, Lin Yan'an suddenly realized that the one who really caused her death was not the emperor, not herself, but him.
She was afraid that he would use the golden medal of immunity to save a man who had killed his father. The reputation of the Marquisate would be ruined, and his future would be ruined, including the reputation accumulated by his grandfather. Therefore, she refused to live...
Lin Yan'an was heartbroken. It took him two lifetimes to fully understand Huaiying's feelings for him. He thought it was one-sided, but he didn't expect that she hid it too deeply and loved him too deeply.
"Miss..." Fu Huaiying's tears were still wet when Da Hu's voice came from outside, "General Wen is here."
Before she could react, she heard the sound of arguing outside.
"General Wen... this is the girl's boudoir!"
Da Hu was defeated and failed to stop him. He saw Wen Chuyan's eyes were bloodshot and he pushed the door open and rushed in with a sword in hand. The blood on the sword had not been wiped off and fell to the ground, creating ripples.
There were scratches on his body and face, and his hands were also injured. At this moment, he looked as creepy as if he had walked out of a sea of blood.
Lin Yan'an immediately took his coat and handed it to Fu Huaiying, then walked around the screen and left, his face dark. "General Wen, what do you mean by this? You came in with a sword, are you going to kill someone?"
Fu Huaiying put on her clothes and came out from behind the screen. Her eyes were still red from crying. She looked up at the person who broke in, feeling a little dazed...
Da Hu held a knife and pressed it against Wen Chuyan's neck from behind, as if threatening her. She was very tall among women and was just the same height as Wen Chuyan.
Wen Chuyan turned a blind eye and walked forward with the sword in hand. His neck was cut and blood gushed out. Da Hu subconsciously pulled away.
"Huaiying..."
He had just spoken when Lin Yan'an had already blocked Fu Huaiying. He frowned, unable to make out what Wen Chuyan meant. "Wen Chuyan, are you crazy?"
Wen Chuyan raised his sword and pointed it at Lin Yan'an.
Fu Huaiying couldn't stand anymore. She found that Wen Chuyan seemed to be a little abnormal, so she slowly walked up to him.
"Brother? What happened to you? Why are you injured?"
Wen Chuyan shook his head vigorously, put down the sword in his hand, and wanted to hug her, but restrained himself and took two steps back, "Are you okay? I heard you were in danger..."
Lin Yan'an stepped forward and stood two steps behind Fu Huaiying. As long as Wen Chuyan made a move, he could pull her back and ensure her safety.
Fu Huaiying shook her head. She looked at him carefully but found nothing unusual. "I'm fine. Yan An saved me."
Wen Chuyan restrained himself from looking at Lin Yan'an and hearing his name, for he was afraid that he would lose control and kill him.
"Brother? What's wrong with you?"
Wen Chuyan looked a little confused. He shook his head, held the sword, and suddenly ran out.
The three of them were left standing there in a daze, looking at each other.
Da Hu scratched his head, "What's wrong with him?"
Lin Yan'an shook his head, he didn't know either.
Only Fu Huaiying stood there silently. She felt something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
"Master! Master!"
Da Hu heard the voice outside and stuck his head out to see, "Miss, it's He Hefeng."
Fu Huaiying came back to her senses and said, "Let him in."
He Feng came in from outside and greeted her, "Miss, Master."
"What's wrong?"
"To answer the young lady, when she was attacked, the master was anxious and chased after her. I took the initiative to lead people to investigate. When we arrived, we found that the thieves were already dead. Their deaths were miserable, as if they had done something to vent their anger."
He paused and swallowed to ease the dryness in his saliva. "I saw that their deaths were strange, so I led people to follow the footprints, but saw General Wen. I think he did it."
Fu Huaiying noticed the dry corners of his lips and poured him a glass of water, "Drink some water first."
"Thank you, young lady."
He Feng drank some water and continued, "I had a hunch that something was wrong, so I followed General Wen all the way to the Su family's villa. He didn't go in, and I don't know what he said to the servants. It was Master Su who came out to greet him."
Fu Huaiying was a little puzzled, "Mr. Su? Suning? Why did he go to see Suning?"
He Feng nodded. "After Su Ning came out, General Wen swung his sword straight out. If Young Master Su hadn't dodged in time, he would have been killed."
Lin Yan'an frowned. "Something's not right. From what I know, Wen Chuyan has always been gentle and steady. Why would he want to kill Su Ning? Did you hear what they said?"
He Feng shook his head. "We were afraid of being discovered and were far away, so we couldn't hear clearly. I just saw Master Su explain a few words, and then General Wen said there wouldn't be a next time. He then took up his sword and left, and we didn't follow him."
Fu Huaiying lowered her eyes. "I can probably guess that the group was sent by King Huan, and Su Ning was behind it. But it seems they didn't agree on whether to kill me or Huan Li."
Lin Yan'an reached out and pulled her hand, "Is it King Huan who wants to kill you?"
Fu Huaiying turned around and saw that he was frowning, so she raised her hand to smooth his frown. "Yes, King Huan wanted to kill me, and Su Ning wanted to kill Huan Li. They didn't agree on this, so Da Hu and Huan Li could come back safely."
Da Hu also remembered and felt a little scared. "Girl, don't do this next time. You didn't even give me a chance to react before you made the decision. What if..."
Fu Huaiying looked at her and said, "Only by splitting up can someone survive. If we run together, they will catch us all in one fell swoop."
At this point, she seemed to remember something and suddenly turned around, "Yan An! I know, brother is poisoned!"
"Poisoned?"
"Yes, his eyes were red, unlike usual. Most people might think he was bloodshot, but that's not the case. He just couldn't control himself."
Fu Huaiying immediately took the medicine bag and said, "Let's go, let me take a look."
Lin Yan'an was somewhat reluctant, but he had no choice but to follow her.
When Fu Huaiying entered the mansion, the servants did not stop her. Although she had moved out independently, she was still a young lady in the mansion and an official beside His Majesty, so naturally no one dared to stop her.
Fu Huaiying entered Wen Chuyan's yard almost unimpeded. He was shirtless. When he turned around and saw Fu Huaiying and Lin Yan'an coming in, he immediately put on his coat, "Huaiying? Why are you here? The injuries on your body..."
Seeing Lin Yan'an following closely beside her, the murderous aura in his heart suddenly emerged again. He raised his sword and stabbed him. After all, Lin Yan'an had been a general all his life, so there was no way he would let him hit him. He quickly dodged...
Wen Chuyan's attack failed, and he stepped forward with his sword, but was stopped by Fu Huaiying. "He is Young Marquis Lin, and also my lover. Brother, if you respect me and the Marquis' Mansion, stop this nonsense."
Wen Chuyan looked at her in disbelief, his hand holding the sword trembling slightly, "You said he was your lover? How long has he known you? We have known each other since childhood, and you said that when you grow up, you will marry me and stay with me forever..."
His voice was trembling, and tears were threatening to fall from his eyes.
Lin Yan'an stood behind Fu Huaiying, listening to his words, but felt a heartache. In his previous life, he knew Huaiying after Wen Chuyan's death. In this life, he knew Huaiying, and they had been together for many years. Wen Chuyan was telling him that he could not compare to the feelings between them.
Fu Huaiying sighed. She came here just to help him detoxify and calm him down as soon as possible. "Brother, I'm grown up now. I'm not a child anymore..."
"So you don't want to keep your promise?" Wen Chuyan looked at her, tears falling, and the murderous intent in his eyes became even stronger. "I'll kill him, and everything will be back on track."
Fu Huaiying understood that he was poisoned and could not control himself, but poison is induced, not generated. If there is no hatred in his heart, it will not be revealed. Why did he hate Lin Yanan so much and wish he would die?
"Brother, you've been poisoned. Put down your sword and I'll help you get rid of the poison."
Wen Chuyan refused, "Has he known you longer than me? Does he love you more than me? Why? If I hadn't died, would everything be different? If I were alive, you would marry me and we would live in harmony for the rest of our lives. Why is everything different as soon as I woke up... Why? I would rather die than see you standing with him..."
He raised his hands to cover his eyes, tears streaming from between his fingers. He didn't understand why as soon as he woke up, there were so many memories in his mind that didn't belong to him. He didn't understand why he was clearly dead but suddenly came back to life. He didn't understand why Huaiying didn't love him anymore.
