Chapter 252 It’s Too Late
Xie Jingmo really wanted to leave without looking back.
But we were only halfway there.
But I couldn't take a step forward.
The feeling of having the person you trust being torn away from you is so painful.
He couldn't help but tell himself.
Just one look.
Take one last look.
He didn't even know how he got in.
All I heard was the sound of, "You're here," and my heart broke into pieces.
He spoke in a hoarse voice, "I'm afraid the person you want to see now is not me."
Yun Zhao turned around in surprise, then frowned, "This is not the place you should be."
Xie Jingmo's remaining sanity vanished at these words.
He approached Yun Zhao, his eyes red, "Zhao Zhao, can you give me another chance?"
He pleaded in a low voice, his eyes bloodshot, and was more humble than ever before.
Yun Zhao opened her red lips slightly, "No."
Xie Jingmo's tears suddenly fell.
Yun Zhao had never seen Xie Jingmo cry, and was stunned for a moment.
"Marry me, I will treat you well. I have never loved anyone before. I only loved you. You taught me how to be myself, but you left me behind. What do you want me to do in the future?"
"Zhao Zhao, don't marry someone else. Marry me, okay? From now on, I will obey you in everything. If you tell me to go east, I will go east. If you tell me to go west, I will go west. I will respect you no matter what you say.
I once said that you never respected me, so from now on, let me respect you, okay? Whatever you wanted that I didn’t give you, I will give you now, okay?
Xie Jingmo almost cried out for the last three words.
Yun Zhao looked at Xie Jingmo without saying a word.
Xie Jingmo's tears fell and hit the back of Yun Zhao's hand. He asked over and over again, "Is it okay? Is it okay?"
Yun Zhao could only shake his head, "It's too late."
Xie Jingmo immediately said, "How could that be? It's not too late if you want to. Zhao Zhao, just tell me if you are willing to give me a chance, and I will take care of everything for you!"
Xie Jingmo seemed to be injected with blood.
But the next second.
But then I heard Yun Zhao say, "Everything is over."
The starlight in Xie Jingmo's eyes seemed to be sucked away in an instant.
He stared at Yun Zhao blankly, tears streaming down his face. He wanted to wipe them away, but he couldn't.
"You...really don't want me anymore?"
Yun Zhao closed his eyes and said, "No."
Xie Jingmo's eyes were red as he strode over, put his arms around Yun Zhao's slender waist and kissed her devoutly.
Cold tears fell mixed with gentle and trembling kisses.
Yun Zhao widened his eyes.
Xie Jingmo opened his eyes and looked at Yun Zhao at a very close distance. He asked softly, "You still have feelings, right? Zhao Zhao, you have feelings for me, right?"
Xie Jingmo tried to deepen the kiss.
But he was pulled away by Lieutenant General Lin, "Xie Jingmo, there must be a limit to your madness!"
Xie Jingmo didn't look at anyone else, he only looked at Yun Zhao. He said, "Zhao Zhao, you still have feelings for me. I know, I can feel it. I beg you, I beg you, please give me a chance! Please give me a chance to be with you again! I beg you!"
Yun Zhao looked at Xie Jingmo and finally just said, "Go away."
Xie Jingmo was stunned for a moment.
All his resistance was extinguished by these words. He was dragged out, shouting at the top of his lungs, "It was obviously me who met you first, Yun Zhao, you have no heart! It was obviously me, I met you first!"
When Mu Chengyan arrived, the room was in a mess.
Xie Jingmo was pressed against the wall by Lieutenant General Lin. He saw with his own eyes Mu Chengyan holding Yun Zhao's hand.
Xie Jingmo's tears fell.
He wanted to say to Yun Zhao, "No one taught me how to love someone, but my body instinct tells me that no matter how uncomfortable I am, I will never give up on you unless I die!"
So, when the cold arrow from the wall flew straight towards Mu Chengyan and Yun Zhao, everyone was stunned.
Only Xie Jingmo.
Without thinking, he pounced forward.
The cold arrow pierced his chest and caused pain. Blood stained the red cloth in the room. When Xie Jingmo closed his eyes, he thought -
That's fine.
At least it doesn't have to be so cruel as to let him watch Yun Zhao marry someone else with his own eyes.
In a trance,
He seemed to see Yun Zhao's surprised affection.
He raised his hand and smiled with relief. He whispered to Yun Zhao, "Now, you can get married with peace of mind, and I can also pretend that you have never fallen in love with anyone else."
Everything happened so suddenly.
No one expected that someone would assassinate the Queen Mother on this day.
No one expected that Xie Jingmo would actually rush over and save Mu Chengyan and Yun Zhao.
I never expected that he would say those words at the end.
Bright red blood continued to flow out from his chest. Yun Zhao stood there for a long time without reacting.
It was not until Deputy General Gao shouted, "Come quickly!" that Yun Zhao was pulled into the inner room and changed his clothes.
As the Queen Mother, there was no possibility of her getting married. All the red in the Queen Mother's Palace turned into a glaring cold white in an instant.
Xie Jingmo was carried onto Yun Zhao's bed.
The imperial physicians surrounded the room, and Xie Jingmo was lying in the middle of it, his face pale, no longer showing any of his usual domineering look.
Yun Zhao looked over absentmindedly.
Mu Chengyan said softly: "Don't worry, it will be fine."
The knife pierced the chest. Yun Zhao was a doctor, and she knew better than anyone how dangerous it was.
The doctor went in to boil the medicine.
She sat at the door, looking dazed.
That sword was coming towards her.
The ornate clothing she wore was too heavy and cumbersome, leaving her with almost no room to react. She was only aware that the cold sword's edge was razor sharp.
She closed her eyes.
But there was no expected pain.
She saw Xie Jingmo's tall body blocking her way, and then falling down little by little.
She saw him speak for the first time.
Just like he had done thousands of times before at the frontier, he said to her, "Zhao Zhao, don't be afraid."
She was never afraid.
I never thought I would be like this now. I am filled with mixed emotions of worry and don’t know what to do.
"Empress Dowager, the medicine is ready, but General Xie has almost no will to live. He has vomited all the medicine he was fed. At this rate, I'm afraid he won't survive tonight."
Yun Zhao said softly: "I understand."
Then she stood up and walked to Xie Jingmo's bed.
His face was pale and colorless at this moment, just like when she brought him out of the pile of dead bodies.
He was dying, with only one breath left.
The maid tried to feed him medicine, but he vomited it all out.
Yun Zhao walked over, gave him an injection, and poured medicine into his mouth. His movements were rough, but he actually managed to get some of the medicine in.
Yun Zhao put down the bowl and went out.
Deputy General Gao and Xie Jingmo remained silent for a long time.
Everything happened so suddenly. They didn't expect Xie Jingmo to do that.
Now everything is becoming more and more complicated, and they don’t know whether they should persuade Yun Zhao and Mu Chengyan to leave Xie Jingmo and get married first.
