Chapter 221 It’s Too Late
Yun Zhao came out of Consort Chen's palace.
Xie Jingmo tilted his head and looked at her several times, "Didn't you bring your medicine box?"
Yun Zhao didn't say anything.
Xie Jingmo knew that Yun Zhao was angry, and he had no intention of forcing her to speak.
Yun Zhao had saved people many times before by using silver needles in his sleeves.
Xie Jingmo didn't think too much about it.
Yun Zhao walked in front.
Xie Jingmo followed behind.
When they were almost at the general's mansion, Xie Jingmo grabbed Yun Zhao. Yun Zhao did not move or struggle, but looked at Xie Jingmo quietly.
At this moment, Xie Jingmo's face showed a rare sense of guilt.
It's a bit awkward to see such an arrogant and conceited person show this kind of emotion on his face.
He looked into Yun Zhao's eyes and was speechless for a long time.
Yun Zhao turned around to leave, and Xie Jingmo spoke at this time.
"Before, I have done many things that made you unhappy, but Yun Zhao, I promise you, this is the last time.
After this, I have repaid Lin Ruyu's life-saving grace. From now on, I will always keep you in my heart, okay?"
Yun Zhao had no expression.
To her, it doesn't matter what Xie Jingmo says or does.
"I know you're angry now," Xie Jingmo said guiltily, not daring to look Yun Zhao in the eye. "In the future, I'll definitely be twice as nice to you!"
Yun Zhao looked at the overwhelming guilt on Xie Jingmo's face, blinked tiredly, and said lightly: "Suppose, I tell you that the person who saved you before was me, would you believe it?"
Xie Jingmo was stunned for a long time.
After coming back to his senses, he started laughing again.
"How is that possible?" Xie Jingmo tightened his grip. He didn't know why, but he suddenly felt uneasy and at a loss. He wanted to smile, but the smile on his face froze, making it look stiff. "How could you be the one who saved me back then? Yun Zhao, you can't make up such a lie just because you have to save someone now and you don't want to."
Yun Zhao expected that even if he told Xie Jingmo, he would not believe it.
She nodded and said casually, "Just kidding, there's no way I could be the one to save you."
As soon as these words were spoken.
Yun Zhao saw Xie Jingmo immediately breathe a sigh of relief, and the stiff smile on his face also relaxed a lot.
Yun Zhao really didn't expect that when he told Xie Jingmo the truth one day, he would have this expression.
Yun Zhao retracted his gaze and said calmly, "Go in."
Yun Zhao walked in. She came here to do only one thing today.
I want Lin Ruyu’s life!
When Yun Zhao was about to step into Lin Ruyu's room, Xie Jingmo felt very nervous for some reason.
He pulled Yun Zhao aside and said, "I sincerely apologized to you just now. Please promise me that you will do your best to treat Lin Ruyu."
Xie Jingmo used both soft and hard tactics. He took out the imperial edict and said, "This is the emperor's order. The emperor's order cannot be disobeyed. Yun Zhao, you will not lose your life for Lin Ruyu, right?"
Xie Jingmo's eyes were direct.
He desperately wanted to hear a positive answer from Yun Zhao.
Yun Zhao responded with a deft move, "General, if you have so little confidence in me, why don't you find someone else?"
So, Xie Jingmo slowly let go of Yun Zhao's hand.
Yun Zhao pushed open Lin Ruyu's door without even turning his head.
The room was filled with the smell of medicine, and Lin Ruyu was lying on the bed, breathing her last breath.
Seeing Yun Zhao coming in, Lin Ruyu laughed crazily and coughed violently while laughing.
"You finally came, Yun Zhao, you can't beat me."
"Yun Zhao, do you know?"
"When your parents left the city, I deliberately asked someone to tell the Queen Mother that your parents were leaving the city. If your parents really left, they would no longer be able to control you in the future.
I also sent someone to tell Concubine Yi that you wanted to leave. If you leave, the future of her two children will be in jeopardy.
Or was it me who deliberately asked someone to stop the carriage at the last second when your parents were about to leave the city? The gold you gave your parents to save their lives became the sharp blade that killed them.
I heard that when they died, they still wanted to see you. Did you know that? Your parents' bodies were thrown into the wilderness and eaten by wild dogs because of me. I asked someone to lure the wolves over!
Lin Ruyu laughed crazily, "You guessed right, you are very smart, all this is related to me, but so what?
The imperial edict is above, even if I kill your parents. Even if I kill your whole family, what can you do to me? Yun Zhao, you can't beat me, hahahaha!"
Lin Ruyu laughed wildly.
Xie Jingmo stood outside the door holding the imperial edict, with a complicated expression on his face.
Yun Zhao's expression was indifferent. She took out three incense sticks from her sleeve and lit them slowly.
Then, it was inserted into the medicinal residue beside.
The smile on Lin Ruyu's face froze instantly. "What do you mean?"
Yun Zhao didn't say anything. He moved a stool for himself and sat down opposite Lin Ruyu. He just looked at her quietly without blinking.
Lin Ruyu didn't understand, and a bad premonition flashed through her mind.
"Yun Zhao, what do you mean?"
"Xie Jingmo told me that he went to the palace to ask for an imperial decree. He wants to use all his military achievements in exchange for my life! Yun Zhao, you dare to disobey the imperial decree? Are you going to die?!"
Yun Zhao still didn't say anything, just looked at Lin Ruyu.
The lighted incense released a faint scent, and Lin Ruyu began to cough violently. Yun Zhao sat nearby.
Lin Ruyu covered her chest and yelled, "Xie Jingmo! Jingmo! Come quickly! Yun Zhao is trying to kill me!"
Lin Ruyu was paralyzed and couldn't move, so she didn't see that Xie Jingmo was actually standing outside.
I heard everything Lin Ruyu said.
His eyes were dark and complicated.
Finally, he couldn't stand Lin Ruyu's yelling anymore, so he stepped in.
Lin Ruyu burst into tears when she saw Xie Jingmo, "Jingmo, please tell Yun Zhao to save me quickly, I'm in so much pain, I really am in so much pain."
Xie Jingmo looked at Yun Zhao, "When will the treatment begin?"
Yun Zhao said calmly, "No rush."
Xie Jingmo frowned, "What do you mean?"
Yun Zhao didn't say anything else.
Lin Ruyu's tears slowly flowed and her expression was sad, which was nothing like when she faced Yun Zhao alone just now.
Xie Jingmo was shocked to find that Lin Ruyu was actually a hypocritical person.
Has she always been provoking Yun Zhao like this in private?
Xie Jingmo's mind buzzed, and any fixed ideas in his head were shattered.
"Jing Mo, didn't you ask for the imperial edict? Take out the imperial edict and order Yun Zhao. I really feel uncomfortable. Jing Mo, you have to save me. You have to save me. I saved you in the same way before. Have you forgotten?"
The last sentence came out.
Xie Jingmo loosened his tightly clenched hand. He looked at Yun Zhao and said, "No matter what, let's save him first."
The words fell.
The three lit incense sticks slowly emitted a deadly smell, and the smell in the house became thicker and thicker.
When Xie Jingmo walked towards Yun Zhao and asked her to stand up and take a look at Lin Ruyu.
Yun Zhao sat on the chair and said calmly, "It's too late."
