Sui Yunlang really wanted to spit at him: "These words are always said by others at graves. This is the first time I hear it coming from his own mouth. How shameless."
Huo Wuyou asked him back: "I've already said my last words, now you can decide whether to treat me or not?"
…
Xue Zhiyi woke up again on the bed where she slept in the Tang Mansion.
She sat up suddenly, as if she had had a terrible nightmare...
But in a trance, looking at the wounds on her body that had been treated with medicine, she touched her neck again, and the scratches had been bandaged... Sure enough, it was not a dream!
She was eager to get out of bed, Huo Wuyou...she wanted to find Huo Wuyou!
“Zhiyi…Zhiyi!”
Beside the bed, someone anxiously held her and sobbed.
Only then did Xue Zhiyi notice that Shen Qingtang was there too.
"Zhiyi, I'm sorry. It's all because of me... But the Marquis of Lin'an is already like this. If you don't take care of yourself anymore, how can he be at ease?"
"Qingtang..." She asked Shen Qingtang anxiously, "How long have I been unconscious?"
After thinking for a moment, Shen Qingtang said, "You fell asleep at dawn this morning, and now it's almost dark again."
Outside the window, it is dusk again without me noticing...it has been a whole day!
She quickly got out of bed and ran to Huo Wuyou's room. When she pushed the door open, she was greeted by the aroma of medicine filling the room.
Amidst the mist, Huo Wuyou was still lying on the bed. A closer look revealed that he was completely bloodless, even bluish-gray, with dry, cracked lips and no life at all. Dozens of silver needles had been inserted into his entire body...
If it weren't for the fact that his eyes were still rolling in pain under his eyelids, one would almost think he was a dead man.
In the next few days, Xue Zhiyi stayed by his side without taking off her clothes. Every look she gave Huo Wuyou might be the last one.
She could not share any of Huo Wuyou's pain. The only thing she could do was to stay with him, wash him, and feed him medicine.
She fell asleep again and again out of exhaustion, but she didn't dare sleep for too long, for fear that Huo Wuyou's condition would worsen and she would not notice.
On the third day, she woke up again and almost numbly checked his heartbeat and breathing. Only after making sure he was still alive did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Her red eyes could no longer shed tears. After combing Huo Wuyou's hair again, she carefully arranged his hair crown and headband and placed them on the bedside.
The room was still filled with items they had brought from Huajing. How could they have imagined this would be the outcome? She didn't even know how to tell the Queen Mother and the Princess about this.
Just as he was thinking about it, a maid opened the door and came in, bowing to Xue Zhiyi: "Miss Xue."
Xue Zhiyi raised his eyes to look at her: "What's wrong?"
The maid put down the bowl in her hand and said, "Young Madam asked me to bring this ginseng chicken soup, saying it is refreshing and replenishing."
"Thank you for your kindness. I'm afraid the Marquis of Lin'an can't eat this right now."
But the maid said, "The young lady said this is for you, Miss Xue."
She was a little dazed. Is Xue Ruoyu... concerned about her?
Her heart ached, and after a moment of silence, she hesitantly said, "Thank the young lady for me."
The maid replied, "Yes," and then said, "I'll take the clothes that the Marquis of Lin'an changed out of, and have them washed."
The incident happened suddenly that day, and they didn't have time to take care of many things. Even the dirty clothes they took off that day were still piled aside. Xue Zhiyi nodded, and the maid went to get the clothes.
When the dirty clothes were picked up, the maid didn't notice that something fell out of them and fell to the ground like a fallen leaf.
The maid took the clothes and left, but Xue Zhiyi caught a glimpse of something lying quietly on the ground, which was made of weaved grass.
Xue Zhiyi's heart suddenly shook. When she bent down to pick it up, she saw that the thing was a straw ring made with her familiar braiding technique.
She suddenly turned around and looked at the person lying on the bed in disbelief.
