Chapter 231 A selfish decision
That night, Yan Qingqiu kept muttering to himself, mostly about An Yan and Li Rongsen. Occasionally he would mention Xiaohua, but most of the conversation was about planting flowers and grass and borrowing money.
He never mentioned the name Qian Momo once.
It was already five in the morning. Li Rongsen asked An Yan, "He's still running a high fever. Is the situation not good?"
"It's not a physiological relationship, but a relationship with the Gu. If he removes it forcibly, he will be attacked by the Gu. That woman is so vicious. She doesn't want him to have an easy life, or she doesn't want him to forget her." An Yan sighed.
"What should we do then?" Li Rongsen was also very anxious.
Grandpa Hua came in with a bowl of medicine and said to An Yan, "It's ready. See if you can reduce his fever."
An Yan picked up the spoon and fed Yan Qingqiu the food. When he took the third sip, he suddenly half sat up, spit out a mouthful of blood, and then fell straight down again, and his wound began to bleed again.
Hua Ye frowned and said, "No, no, this is too bad."
Li Rongsen was startled. He immediately took a clean towel to wipe Yan Qingqiu, and then asked An Yan, "What should we do? Is there really no hope?"
An Yan didn't say anything. She inserted golden needles into Yan Qingqiu's body and then sat down on a chair beside her. She had to admit that she was not omnipotent and could not save everyone's life, just like Jiaer many lives ago, whose life could not be saved.
Li Rongsen felt that she looked very lonely and asked her, "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm thinking about something." An Yan replied, and then said, "Perhaps, only Qian Momo can save him."
"Could it be that simply removing the Gu Seal isn't enough, and other conditions are required?"
An Yan looked at Li Rongsen's face, and thought about how Qian Momo often used her face as a medicine inducer. She wondered if she should borrow that face from the eldest lady of the East Mansion. Maybe the problem could be completely solved.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside the yard.
An Yan and Li Rongsen looked at each other, then walked out to see, only to see Hua Ye opening the door and Qian Momo walked in.
"What are you doing here?" Li Rongsen asked.
"I came to see Yan Qingqiu. Is he dead?" Qian Momo asked coldly.
"Are you here to kill him, or to save him?"
"If I wanted him to die, I wouldn't have come." Qian Momo looked at An Yan and said, "I really envy you. Those who love you really love you."
"Not everyone judges people by their appearance," said An Yan.
"That's a lie. Who doesn't like good-looking people?" Qian Momo didn't believe it. She looked at Li Rongsen and asked, "If An Yan was ugly, would you still be willing to follow her?"
"I'm not a beautiful goddess either." An Yan continued.
Qian Momo didn't want to argue with her.
Li Rongsen said: "If you really want to fall in love with someone, nothing is necessary."
"Hey, those who say they care are men, and those who say they don't care are also men. I don't understand men's minds anymore." Qian Momo sneered.
An Yan reminded her: "Yan Qingqiu's condition is very bad now, and his life is in danger at any time."
"He wants to get rid of me, so he wants to remove the Gu Mark." Qian Momo's face showed helplessness and reluctance. She asked, "Where is he?"
"Inside the house." An Yan took her in.
Yan Qingqiu's condition was getting worse. His whole body was so hot that he couldn't touch it, and his face was as red as Bao Gong.
Qian Momo said, "I really love him, but he doesn't." Qiyu opened a bottle, and a ray of red light came out from it. She pressed it into the wound at the position of Yan Qingqiu's heart and said, "Give it back to him. It originally belonged to him."
An Yan frowned and said, "How could you think of using such a poisonous Gu?"
Qian Momo looked at her sideways: "At first, it was to make him fall in love with me. At first, it was a satisfaction I had never experienced before, but gradually it became ironic. The love was fake. That kind of tenderness and kindness turned into a torture. So I left and didn't want to see him again."
An Yan listened quietly without interrupting.
Qian Momo stood up from the bed, walked towards the window, and continued, "You see, he always despised me. He took a great risk to get rid of me. If I hadn't returned that trace of consciousness to him, he would have died."
"Thank you for letting it go." An Yan didn't feel particularly disgusted with her, she just felt sorry for her.
The wind blew in from outside the window, blowing up Qian Momo's hair. Her black hair turned into snow-white, which surprised Li Rongsen.
Qian Momo said: "Don't tell him, I don't need his thanks. It was originally my selfish decision."
An Yan walked closer to Qian Momo and said, "Why don't you try and see if he falls in love without the Gu?"
"No need, he already has someone else in his heart." Qian Momo turned to look at An Yan, then looked at Li Rongsen, and said, "I should go back. Everything is over. I don't ask anyone to love me anymore."
"We can love ourselves." An Yan said.
Qian Momo chuckled. Although her face was plain today, it was extremely beautiful. She didn't have delicate features, but she had an otherworldly temperament. She walked away like a gust of wind, as if she had been there, but also as if she had never been there.
An Yan chased after her, left the yard with her, and asked, "Qian Momo, this face today is your true face, right?"
She looked over, her face looking even more pure and innocent in the moonlight. She said, "This is my face, before the poison experiment disfigured me. I've had it since I was born."
"You shouldn't always make decisions on your own."
"This way, only one person will suffer. At least he is happy." Qian Momo left without looking back.
Yan Qingqiu woke up in the room and asked, "Am I still alive, An Yan, Li Rongsen?"
"We're all here." Li Rongsen hurried over to see him and touched his forehead with the back of his hand. Sure enough, his fever had subsided. He quickly said to An Yan who had come in, "An Yan, he's fine."
An Yan walked over to check the wound on his chest, and sure enough, it was no longer bleeding. She said, "That's great."
"Am I free?" Yan Qingqiu asked. This was what he cared about most.
"Free." An Yan nodded.
"That's great! I'm no longer a hypocritical person." Yan Qingqiu was overjoyed, but then he covered his chest and said, "It hurts."
Li Rongsen said, "You should have a good rest. You shouldn't act on your own in the future."
Yan Qingqiu smiled at Li Rongsen and said, "I will never see that poisonous woman again. How could she cast a spell on me? I don't love her at all now."
An Yan was silent, she didn't know what to say.
Li Rongsen asked him, "Then you won't go back to the mountains?"
"That's right, why should I go back? I just want to be with you guys. This is the happy life, the life I really want." Yan Qingqiu smiled happily. He looked down and saw a purse at hand.
He opened it and saw a pearl inside. He said, "Oh, how did this good thing end up here? It's a top-grade medicine. It's such a pity to lose only one of it."
An Yan said, "Please put it away carefully."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Yan Qingqiu smash the Dongzhu with a palm, and then heard him say, "Li Rongsen, please help me get a jar so that I can make several doses of the medicine."
Li Rongsen was stunned at first, then he took out an exquisite little jar.
Yan Qingqiu threw the Dongzhu powder in, smeared the rest on his face, and said, "It's almost dawn, I'm going to sleep, you guys should go and rest too." After that, he lay down on his side.
Li Rongsen pulled An Yan's sleeve and walked out together, then asked her in a low voice: "That was given to him by Qian Momo, right?"
"Forget it, let's just pretend nothing happened." An Yan said softly, and motioned for him to go and rest.
