Liu Dechang stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.
He wanted to walk inside, but he was a little worried.
He didn't know what he was worried about. Was he afraid that Xiaoling would wake up and ignore him, or was he afraid that Xiaoling didn't wake up? Or was he afraid that he was just dreaming?
Xiaoling was the name Meng Yue gave herself after she came to Daning Kingdom. Liu Dechang said that he liked her name because it had a sense of spirituality, although the word "Ling" in her name had nothing to do with the "Ling" in spirituality.
While he was hesitating, he suddenly heard a heavy gasp coming from inside. He quickly forgot all his worries and walked towards the inner room with big strides.
At this time, Xiaoling had opened her eyes slightly and was staring at the ceiling of the bed in a daze.
She thought she was dead. Everything seemed so strange. But, after death, shouldn't people become ghosts? Shouldn't they report to the King of Hell? Why was she still lying in bed? Could being a ghost be so easy?
While she was thinking about this, Liu Dechang came to her side with trembling hands. When he saw Xiaoling open her eyes, he burst into tears and sobbed.
"Xiaoling, are you awake?"
His words made Xiaoling look in the direction of the sound. Perhaps because she turned her head too quickly, she felt a slight headache.
She closed her eyes tightly and tried to raise her hand to press her head, but just as she raised her hand, it was firmly grasped by a pair of large hands. Liu Dechang said anxiously:
"Xiaoling, it's me, I'm Dechang, Liu Dechang, why are you ignoring me? Don't you recognize me?"
He suddenly became very worried. Did Xiaoling's brain get damaged by the poison and she didn't recognize him? Otherwise, why would she be so indifferent to him?
Xiaoling turned around in surprise and looked at the man in front of her. When she saw his face clearly, her eyes suddenly turned red.
"Dechang, you...how come you died too?"
Her question made Liu Dechang, who was originally a little sad, suddenly burst into tears of joy.
He held her hand, bit his lip, and shook his head vigorously.
"Xiaoling, it's good that you still remember me. Don't worry, I will be with you no matter life or death. I will always be with you."
She looked at Liu Dechang, sobbing and crying.
"I've already let you down. I've left you all alone for so many years, and now after I die, I'm going to take you away. How can I feel at peace? Why are you so foolish? Why did you follow me? Why did you let our daughter lose both her parents overnight? Sina has longed for a father since she was a child, and now you've made her lose him just when she found him. What do you want her to do?"
After listening to Xiaoling's nonsensical words, Liu Dechang realized that she probably thought that she was dead and he was dead too.
Liu Dechang looked at her with a mixture of laughter and tears. He raised his hand to touch her face and wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, but inexplicably retracted his hand.
Although Xiaoling in front of him still looked the same as she did many years ago, he suddenly became afraid that she would dislike his rough hands and his face which was so different from hers.
He, a veteran general and the Protector of Daning State, became somewhat helpless and cowardly at this time.
Xiaoling may have realized the subtle change in his expression, and sighed helplessly.
"Forget it. Now that things have come to this, there's no point in saying more. We haven't seen each other for many years. I never thought we would have the chance to meet in the underworld."
Seeing her desperate and helpless look, Liu Dechang slapped his thigh heavily, blushing and smiling faintly:
"Xiaoling, no, no, you are not dead, and I am not dead either. We are still alive."
His words made Xiaoling stunned for a moment. She looked at him with a frown, asking cautiously and puzzledly,
"You said we are not dead?"
As soon as she asked this, she began to shake her head vigorously again. "Impossible, impossible! In this world, there are almost no people who can survive taking arsenic. Don't try to cheer me up. Since I have chosen this path, I have no regrets. It's just that those two children have suffered. As a mother, I feel so sorry for them. Sigh!"
Seeing that she didn't believe him, Liu Dechang turned around in a panic and shouted towards the door:
"Someone come!"
Luo Lan and Sina, who were outside, heard the shouting, looked at each other in confusion, and quickly pushed the door open and walked in.
According to their expectations, Dad and Mom should be hugging each other and crying, then telling each other their true feelings!
But what they saw was: Dad was rubbing his feet helplessly, and Mom had tears on her face and looked resentful.
Luo Lan, who was confused, was the first to ask:
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing her voice, Xiaoling turned her head with difficulty to look at her. When she saw Luo Lan and Sina standing together, she was so shocked that tears burst into tears.
"Mom, why are you crying?"
Sina quickly came to the bedside and asked with concern:
"What's wrong with you?"
Xiaoling looked at Xina, pursed her lips, and murmured with sobs:
"Nana, you guys? What's going on? Am I really not dead?"
Her words made Xina stunned for a moment, and Liu Dechang was busy explaining.
"Lan'er, quickly explain to your mother. She doesn't believe she's still alive. She thinks I died with her. I... I don't know how to explain this."
Looking at Liu Dechang's helpless and bewildered look, Sina looked at Luo Lan blankly, then they smiled at each other and couldn't help laughing.
Seeing this scene, Liu Dechang frantically waved his hands, glaring and yelling:
"What are you laughing at? What's so funny?"
Luo Lan stopped laughing and came to Xiaoling's bed. Looking at Xiaoling with tears still in her eyes, she couldn't help but chuckle and said:
"Mom, you are not dead, and Dad is not dead either. We are all alive. We are on our way to the capital now, and we will be home soon."
Sina also explained:
"Yes, sister is right. We are all alive and well. Sister is an excellent doctor. She saved you."
Hearing what the two sisters said, Xiaoling was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then she raised her hands to cover her face and began to cry.
Hearing her crying, Liu Dechang became even more furious. He came forward and shouted unhappily:
"I told you to explain to your mother why you made her cry? Go away, I don't need you to explain, just go away."
This scene made Luo Lan and Sina look at each other speechlessly, and then they shrugged their shoulders and left with pouts.
As she walked, Sina did not forget to look back and muttered,
"We didn't say anything, why is Mom crying? Why do I feel like Mom's brain isn't working very well after waking up this time?"
At this point, she suddenly grabbed Luo Lan and asked in panic:
"Sister, is it possible that Mom was poisoned too deeply and her brain is damaged?"
