Chapter 159: Broken Defense
Xie Jingmo had a splitting headache. He never thought that he would hear the word "no" from Lin Ruyu.
"Jing Mo, even if I was poisoned to death, even if I die now, I don't want to be separated from you. I am yours in life and your ghost in death."
Lin Ruyu shook her shoulders and became as weak as before.
Xie Jingmo was stunned for a moment before he reacted and whispered to Lin Ruyu, "But I have already promised Yun Zhao that I will never take a concubine in this life. If you still follow me, you will definitely suffer."
Lin Ruyu knew that she couldn't compete with Xie Jingmo.
Otherwise, it will only make men bored.
So, she knelt down on the ground, in the direction of Yun Zhao!
"Yun Zhao, I will obey Jing Mo in everything. If she wants to marry you, I have no objection. I just hope that you can give me a way out, just a chance to stay with Jing Mo, as a maid, or as a bed warmer, it will all be fine!"
Lin Ruyu lay on the ground, her body shaking as if from crying. "You have already punished me, and my face is completely ruined. I can't pose any threat to you. Yun Zhao, I beg you, please forgive me!"
Lin Ruyu's voice collapsed and he looked completely different from the ferocious look he had just a moment ago.
Xie Jingmo and Deputy General Gao were both stunned.
It seemed as if Yun Zhao had long known what kind of person Lin Ruyu was.
She walked forward calmly and came to Lin Ruyu.
She half squatted down, pinched Lin Ruyu's chin, and said with a low laugh in a voice that only she and Lin Ruyu could hear: "Did I do this to your face?"
Lin Ruyu's eyes flashed.
She subconsciously wanted to quibble.
But in the next second, she saw Yun Zhao stop smiling and look at her coldly.
Yun Zhao opened his plain lips slightly and said, "But it's fine. Just treat this as a prelude. If you want to live a good life, I can help you."
After saying that, Yun Zhao stood up.
Lin Ruyu immediately burst into tears and fainted to the side as if she was extremely frightened.
"Miss!" The maid immediately stepped forward, wailing loudly, "Miss! How are you?"
The maid cried and said to Xie Jingmo, "General, how can you be so cruel? Do you know what these girls have been through? She has been waiting for your return with all her heart, and has endured so much criticism during this period. Now everyone knows that you and the young lady are getting married, and now you suddenly change your mind. Everyone in the capital has tasted your wedding candy, so now you are saying that this wedding candy doesn't count?"
"Besides, the young lady has you in her heart, and everyone in the capital knows it. If you want her to marry someone else, how can that person treat you sincerely? General, are you asking our young lady to die?"
"She won't speak up, won't fight for it, because she doesn't want to embarrass you, but I! I really can't stand it anymore!"
"General, how could you let down such a good lady of mine! Look at her face, it's all because of you!"
The maid's voice was high-pitched, and each word she spoke was logical and clear.
Xie Jingmo felt guilty after hearing this.
He turned around and met Yun Zhao's carefree expression, and said angrily, "Come here and get rid of the poison for me first!"
Yun Zhao said, "The poison on her face was not put by me."
She glanced at Lin Ruyu's exposed hand, where the red spots were faintly visible. She added, "My poison hasn't come out yet."
Xie Jingmo was almost pissed off to death by Yun Zhao.
"You didn't poison her face? Then who did it?" Xie Jingmo was already losing patience. The maid's words had touched his heart. "Yun Zhao, don't push your luck. I've been very tolerant of you!"
Yun Zhao's expression grew colder. "Really? General, you don't have to be so tolerant of me. If you want to kill me, just go ahead. Oh, do you want me to remind you? I'm the imperial physician to the two little princes. If you kill me, will you be able to explain to the Emperor?"
Xie Jingmo was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged!
Yun Zhao still looked calm and even yawned. "If you're fine, I'll be leaving first."
After Yun Zhao finished speaking, he walked away.
She could have told Xie Jingmo that no matter how many days passed, she would never marry him.
But looking at me, Lin Ruyu, lying on the ground with tears rolling down my eyes, she was willing to let her go and make trouble with Xie Jingmo.
She laughed and left.
The maidservant was so devastated to see Yun Zhao walk away so brazenly.
"General Xie, are you just going to let Yun Zhao go like this?"
Deputy General Gao crossed his arms, glanced at Lin Ruyu lying on the ground, and smiled disdainfully.
Then he met the maid's gaze, glared at her fiercely, and said, "What else? Didn't you hear? Yun Zhao is the imperial physician of the two princes. What? You want Xie Jingmo to kill her and openly challenge the imperial power? You're courting death!"
The maid shrank her shoulders when she heard this.
"I... didn't... mean that."
Deputy General Gao: "What do you mean?! Why are you howling? Are you afraid the neighbors can't hear you? Look at your status. You are not even worthy of carrying Yun Zhao's shoes! And you still dream of becoming a princess!"
Deputy General Gao left quickly before Xie Jingmo could start cursing.
Lin Ruyu slowly woke up again. She leaned in the arms of her maid and looked at Xie Jingmo silently, "Jingmo..."
She only said these two words in a low, small voice.
It feels like he has suffered a lot of injustice, but he is willing to accept it.
She lowered her eyes and tears rolled down her cheeks.
"I won't make things difficult for you. I'm going to die. Forget it..." Lin Ruyu's face twisted and she cried uncontrollably.
The maid glanced at Lin Ruyu, then at Xie Jingmo, "General, please stay for dinner. Miss hasn't had a good meal in many days. This morning, she happily went out to sell crucian carp and said she would cook it for you. Now, the wound on your face, ah——"
After the maid finished speaking, she helped Lin Ruyu up and went to the small kitchen.
In the yard.
Lin Ruyu and Xie Jingmo looked at each other.
Xie Jingmo sighed, "Ruyu, don't worry, I will definitely find someone to help you heal the wound on your face."
Lin Ruyu nodded, "Jing Mo, are you really going to marry Yun Zhao?"
The voice broke and tears rolled down.
Extremely sad.
Xie Jingmo sighed, "So you don't want your face anymore?"
Hearing this, Lin Ruyu raised her head with a resolute look in her eyes, "Jing Mo, for you, I can give up this face." Lin Ruyu said it with certainty, not because she was really not afraid, but because she knew that the way to restore this face was originally her way of framing Yun Zhao.
"I don't want you to be threatened because of me, Jing Mo, I love you!"
"Believe me, in this world, I am the only one who loves you the most!"
Lin Ruyu spoke in a soft but firm voice, giving people a feeling of resolve.
Lin Ruyu felt that even someone with a heart as hard as steel would be moved.
She was about to say a few more words.
Suddenly, there was a cry of surprise in my ears.
Lin Ruyu frowned and looked at the maid unhappily.
Such a good atmosphere was ruined!
The maid pointed at Lin Ruyu's wrist, "Miss, your hand!"
