Chapter 29 With a death wish, the ruler is in danger, and lives are at stake, how can Cui Fuyu…
Cui Fuyu frowned and looked at Xiaoling with displeasure. "What is it?"
She had already restricted Chi Yanzhou from going out, so she really couldn't imagine what else might happen to him.
It was big enough that Xiaoling rushed over to the Cui family to find her.
However, this is not a place where it's easy to talk things out, as Cui Hexuan and Zhao Chengxu are still there.
She could also see Xiaoling's hesitation and her consideration for those present.
Cui Fuyu put all the chess pieces back, thinking that Chi Yanzhou was alright, and casually straightened his sleeves.
Cui Fuyu raised her hand to help her up: "Go forward and answer my question."
Thinking of Chi Yanzhou's situation at the villa, Xiao Ling dared not delay any longer.
Xiao Ling quickly got up, leaned close to Cui Fuyu's ear, and respectfully whispered with her hands at her waist, "Miss, Young Master Chi has committed suicide in his room. The doctor is treating him now. Please go and take a look."
Xiao Ling's words struck Cui Fuyu like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, startling her greatly. Her mind went blank for a moment, her face changed drastically, and suddenly she supported Xiao Ling, staring into Xiao Ling's eyes, and said, word by word, "What did you say?"
Xiao Ling was almost in tears: "The doctor said that Young Master Chi is in danger. Please don't delay and go see him quickly."
When Xiaoling discovered that Chi Yanzhou had committed suicide in the room, she was terrified.
As usual, she carried tea and snacks to Chi Yanzhou's room, having prepared an extra bowl of sweet soup because she knew he hadn't eaten properly all day.
When Xiaoling happily pushed open the door, she saw a scene she would never forget.
She knocked over all the food on the spot, and porcelain shards mixed with food made a mess all over the floor. She slumped against the door frame and frantically called for the housekeeper.
Inside the room, Chi Yanzhou lay quietly on the bed, lifeless, with blood flowing from his wrist, leaving a pool of blood on the floor.
A shard of porcelain lay carelessly on the ground.
Chi Yanzhou's face was pale, his lips had lost their color, and his drooping hand was still bleeding.
The wound on his wrist wasn't deep, but blood was still seeping out little by little.
It was extremely slow and agonizing.
He held the jade hairpin, which he had repaired under cover of night, tightly in his left hand, as if it were a precious treasure, and placed it against his chest.
The jade hairpin's body has been replaced with sandalwood by Chi Yanzhou...
Xiao Ling was too young to have experienced such a big scene before, and she was already terrified.
She mechanically followed the steward's instructions and used silk cloth to stop the bleeding of Chi Yanzhou.
The butler quickly fetched a doctor for Chi Yanzhou. Because he left in such a hurry, he didn't notice the water stains that had been cleaned up on the ground, and the butler even tripped and fell at the door in a disheveled state.
Because of Chi Yanzhou's matter, the villa was in chaos, and everyone was worried that Cui Fuyu would blame them, a crime they could not bear.
For a time, the villa was filled with panic, and everyone's face was filled with fear.
After a moment of silence, the steward told Xiaoling to quickly go to the Cui residence and invite Cui Fuyu over so that he could make the decision.
The housekeeper kept reminding her that Cui Fuyu had to come over, and as quickly as possible.
With tears in her eyes, Xiao Ling nodded to the housekeeper, determined to bring Cui Fuyu over as quickly as possible.
This matter is of great importance and involves Young Master Chi; she figured Miss would definitely come.
She ran and ran, not daring to stop for a moment, and finally arrived at the Cui residence, where she met Cui Fuyu.
Cui Fuyu's eyes slowly focused, and after she recovered, she said to Cui Hexuan and Zhao Chengxu, "Sorry, I have to go first."
They had just heard Xiao Ling say that Chi Yanzhou was in danger. Cui Hexuan didn't know him yet, but Zhao Chengxu's expression suddenly turned very bad.
He watched Cui Fuyu's panicked figure and said, "Brother Hexuan, let's follow him and see what's going on."
——
Inside the villa, the doctor remained in Chi Yanzhou's room, continuously administering acupuncture in an attempt to awaken him.
Chi Yanzhou's wrist wound had been bandaged, but blood was still seeping through the gauze.
The elderly doctor looked worried upon seeing Chi Yanzhou's condition. He sighed, shook his head, and stroked his white beard. "This young master is deeply troubled and has resolved to die. He is unwilling to wake up, and I am at a loss. If he does not wake up within three days, your family should begin preparing for his funeral."
Aside from excessive blood loss, Chi Yanzhou was otherwise unharmed. However, he harbored deep resentment that had been building up inside him for a long time, which led to his suicidal thoughts.
The doctor predicted that he would wake up within three days, which would be easy to handle; he just needed to rest and recuperate afterward.
Judging from Chi Yanzhou's appearance, he clearly had no desire to live.
That's the difficulty.
The old doctor packed away his medicine box. He also wanted to save the young man who was having suicidal thoughts, but the man didn't want to live, so what could he do to save him?
Cui Fuyu had just arrived when she overheard the doctor's words and immediately flew into a rage, shouting, "What do you mean by preparing for his funeral?"
Chi Yanzhou is not dead yet; he has three days left, so she still has a chance to save him.
She quickly went to the bedside, squatted down, and quietly looked at Chi Yanzhou's ashen face. Her heart instantly felt like it was being squeezed by a hand, and she felt a sharp pain in her chest.
Even though she could see how distressed he looked, she still stubbornly cried out, "Chi Yanzhou, wake up! You can't die!"
Yes, she hadn't had enough fun with Chi Yanzhou yet, how could she allow him to die?
Cui Fuyu's eyes flashed with pity, "Chi Yanzhou, are you in pain? How could you dare to cut yourself with a shard of porcelain?"
She raised her hand to touch Chi Yanzhou's wound, as gently as a feather. The once brilliant and talented man was now withering away like a flower.
The butler was limping as he escorted the old doctor, his hand on his waist, listening intently to the doctor's instructions. The butler nodded frequently, and as he reached the door, he turned back to glance at the lifeless Chi Yanzhou lying on the bed.
When Cui Hexuan arrived, he was shocked to see what Cui Fuyu had done and was furious at her behavior. He turned his head and glared at Zhao Chengxu.
Zhao Chengxu shook his head helplessly; he didn't know what was going on either.
He only talked to Cui Hexuan about the relationship between Cui Fuyu and Chi Yanzhou.
Cui Hexuan suddenly realized why Cui Fuyu had asked him what love was last night.
It turned out that the person lying in bed was the one she loved.
But Cui Fuyu is not the type to push her beloved into a desperate situation.
What happened?
Cui Hexuan suppressed his anger and summoned Xiaoling, who had gone to the Cui residence to ask for help, to find out the truth about the two of them.
However, Xiaoling didn't know much about the two of them, only that they had recently quarreled, so she only told what she knew.
Xiao Ling's words further fueled Cui Hexuan's anger.
He scoffed and looked at the good things his sister had done.
When he was away, Cui Fuyu was so indifferent to human life that she even caused someone to commit suicide for her.
Cui Hexuan's face was gloomy as he looked at Cui Fuyu, who was guarding the bedside, and coldly called her over: "Cui Fuyu, come here."
Watching his brother about to unleash his power, Zhao Chengxu lowered his head and silently prayed for Cui Fuyu's good luck.
Cui Hexuan is a cheerful and easy-going person, but once he gets serious, even Zhao Chengxu is afraid of him.
At this moment, Zhao Chengxu dared not plead for her and could only tell him to calm down: "Hexuan, calm down."
Cui Fuyu stiffened when she heard his voice; her brother was furious about this.
Cui Fuyu dared not disobey him, so she got up and slowly walked to him. She saw that his brows were tightly furrowed and his face was gloomy.
She felt a little scared; it was her fault. She apologized and looked at Cui Hexuan cautiously.
Unexpectedly, a gust of wind came and a large hand slapped Cui Fuyu across the face.
Cui Hexuan's anger surged, and he suddenly raised his hand and slapped her, without caring about the surroundings or giving Cui Fuyu any face.
If Chi Yanzhou hadn't been still in the room, he probably would have already started disciplining him.
The veins on his forehead bulged as he looked at his younger sister, who had been pampered since childhood, with a sense of disappointment and frustration.
Human life is at stake, how could she dare!
Cui Fuyu covered her swollen cheek, her nose stinging, and looked up at him with tears in her eyes, her face full of grievance.
Zhao Chengxu glanced awkwardly at the angry person beside him, then looked at his aggrieved and sad cousin in front of him, and wanted to play peacemaker.
"Cousin, this is not right of you..."
Before Zhao Chengxu could finish speaking, Cui Hexuan interrupted him: "Your Highness, I am disciplining my sister, please do not interfere."
Zhao Chengxu was instantly speechless. Cui Hexuan was determined to teach Cui Fuyu a lesson, and he gave Cui Fuyu a helpless look.
Cui Hexuan coldly took Cui Fuyu's hand and walked outside. Once they were far away from Chi Yanzhou's room, the three of them stopped in the corridor.
Cui Hexuan dismissed everyone and said, "Kneel down."
Sobbing uncontrollably, Cui Fuyu knelt down silently, knowing she couldn't afford to anger her brother any further.
Cui Hexuan stood in front of her, pointing at her with a pained expression: "Look at the mess you've made! What exactly happened?"
Zhao Chengxu quietly sat down to the side. He also wanted to know why Chi Yanzhou, who had been eating with him just a few days ago, had changed so much.
But he was afraid that Cui Hexuan's anger would ensue, so he could only keep his distance from the two of them.
Cui Fuyu raised her hand to wipe away her tears and recounted her recent argument with Chi Yanzhou without holding back a single detail.
Cui Hexuan grew angrier as he listened, and said bitterly, "Cui Fuyu, how can you love your lover like this? If you didn't love him, why did you get involved with him in the first place? How are you going to clean up this mess now?"
Cui Fuyu didn't understand either, and just shook her head while crying: "Brother, I wanted to do that too. I thought it was just an argument, and I didn't want him to die either."
She didn't know if she loved Chi Yanzhou. At home, her parents would also quarrel like this, threatening each other.
They can make up as if nothing happened after an argument.
She didn't know that Chi Yanzhou was unable to withstand the blow and was feeling depressed. If she could have foreseen this outcome, she wouldn't have spoken so harshly to Chi Yanzhou yesterday.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
“You’ve been wrong from the very beginning. Love is respect. If you don’t know how, you can learn. How come all the things your father taught you have gone to waste?” Cui Hexuan was truly furious. “After this incident, just let him go. Chi Yanzhou doesn’t want to stay by your side anymore.”
Hearing what she said, Cui Hexuan deduced that she didn't want to stay and was even more determined to die because of the harm caused by Cui Fuyu.
He then took it upon himself to have Cui Fuyu release the person and not to bother them anymore.
Cui Fuyu nodded, feeling wronged, and let the person go.
As long as Chi Yanzhou is alright.
She will definitely let go and stop bothering Chi Yanzhou's life afterward.
"Okay, brother, can you please not tell Father and Mother? It was all my fault for being silly, I accept the punishment!"
Cui Hexuan couldn't bear it. His sister was good in every way, except when it came to relationships.
Cui Fuyu's attitude of admitting her mistake was good, and Cui Hexuan's anger slowly dissipated. He slowly squatted down and gently hugged Cui Fuyu.
Upon being hugged like that, Cui Fuyu's emotions instantly turned against her, and she burst into tears while hugging Cui Hexuan.
She vented her emotions, thinking her brother was right. In that instant, Cui Fuyu realized that she loved Chi Yanzhou even more deeply than she had imagined.
Cui Hexuan gently patted Cui Fuyu's back, letting her snot and tears fall onto his clothes.
He felt helpless. "Stay at the villa with Chi Yanzhou today. I'll make an excuse for you regarding your parents."
Cui Fuyu nodded vigorously. She would stay with Chi Yanzhou and would never treat him like that again until he woke up.
Cui Fuyu has truly realized her feelings for him.
