Chapter 29 Don't Leave Me
"Don't go." The hot breath brushed past her ears, and Luo Xifeng's arms trapped her in his arms like an iron hoop.
The boy's hot chest pressed against her back, and his chaotic heartbeat made her spine numb.
She struggled to get up, but the unconscious Luo Xifeng grabbed her waist and rubbed his chin against her shoulder.
"Mother...don't abandon Feng'er..."
The hoarse sobs mixed with the smell of medicine sprayed behind her ears, and Chu Yangyang froze.
The moonlight spread over Luo Xifeng's black hair scattered on the pillow, and she realized that the corners of his eyes were shining with tears.
The King of Hell who always shouted that he wanted to kill her was now curled up like a baby.
The medicine bowl spilled onto the brocade quilt, and the brown liquid spread out deep marks.
Chu Yangyang groped for the medicine bowl on the bedside table, but Luo Xifeng grabbed her wrist and pressed it against her chest.
"It hurts..." He murmured unconsciously and buried his face in her hanging black hair.
Chu Yangyang remembered that in modern orphanages, children with high fevers also clutched the corners of her clothes in this way.
The hand frozen in mid-air hesitated for a moment, then gently fell on his hair.
Luo Xifeng's fingers slowly loosened their grip.
Chu Yangyang was about to pull away when he suddenly turned over and held her under him.
The moon-white robe spread open, revealing a spider-web-like purple poisonous pattern on the heart, which looked as strange as a vine in the moonlight.
"Feng'er will be good..." His hot lips brushed against her neck, causing her to shudder.
Chu Yangyang raised her hand to chop him on the back of the neck, but saw a tear falling on the scar on his collarbone, which was the masterpiece of the original owner.
A night wind suddenly blew outside the window, and the fragrance of medicine poured in from the half-open carved window.
Luo Xifeng's eyelashes trembled, and he suddenly grabbed her hand and put it on his cheek, "Mother's hand, it's so warm."
The person in her arms began to cough violently, and dark red blood stained her apricot-colored clothes.
She finally sighed and let him curl up in his arms, holding the belt.
At five o'clock in the morning, Luo Xifeng's breathing finally stabilized.
Chu Yangyang gently pulled out her numb arm and gradually fell asleep.
The morning light streamed through the window screen, and Luo Xifeng was awakened by a tingling sensation on his neck.
Chu Yangyang's long black hair hung down to his collarbone, swaying gently with her breathing.
He suddenly grabbed the wrist of the person in his arms, but accidentally tore open her loose clothes, revealing the bloody cloth on her shoulder.
"The princess really doesn't even let the sick people go," he said, letting go of his hand with his Adam's apple rolling.
Chu Yangyang broke free from the shackles, pointed at the dried medicine stains on the quilt, and secretly rolled her eyes, "I don't know who was it that hugged me and called me mother last night, crying and refusing to let me change the medicine."
She deliberately waved the blood-stained gauze in front of his eyes, "Lord Luo, would you like to smell the tear stains on this handkerchief?"
Luo Xifeng frowned and glanced at the empty medicine bowl tilted beside the pillow.
The scattered memories were like fleeting glimpses, as if a soft hand had indeed stroked the top of his head, accompanied by the soft humming of a foreign tune.
"nonsense."
The tips of his ears flushed red as he tightened his loose belt. His fingertips touched the remaining warmth in his heart. "Even if I were unconscious, I would never overstep the boundaries."
The voice stopped abruptly.
Chu Yangyang suddenly leaned forward, her medicinally scented black hair brushing against his chin. "Do you want me to imitate you, how you dragged people around and yelled 'Mom, don't leave' last night?"
She deliberately pinched her throat and imitated, "Feng'er will drink the medicine obediently..."
The tips of his ears and even his neck began to turn red.
He only remembered that he saw his mother last night. She was still alive, holding him, stroking his head, singing little songs to him, and being so gentle that he didn't want to wake up from his dream.
Wasn't last night a dream?
No, this woman Chu Yangyang wouldn't be so kind. She wanted to eat him before. She must have other conspiracies.
Luo Xifeng grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer. "Tell me, what tricks are you going to play?"
Chu Yangyang was so hurt by the grip that she frowned. "You're not going to be paranoid, are you? You want to hurt everyone you see. I didn't sleep the whole night to take care of you. Now you're trying to bite me!"
"What?"
"I won't tell you!"
Chu Yangyang snorted and turned her head away.
Luo Xifeng was stunned when he saw the green shadow under her eyes.
In the morning light, the girl's messy hair was still stained with the medicine that splashed on her last night.
"Then why did you send away the maid who was on night watch? Even Bai Shi is not here." His thumb brushed across the clotted blood on her sleeve.
Having said that, Chu Yangyang realized that she really didn't see Miaoyun last night, and Bai Shi would rush out after every conversation.
Could it be... that they also thought that she really wanted to do something to Luo Xifeng, so they deliberately left it to the two of them?
Chu Yangyang held her forehead with her hand.
She finally understood why the original owner died so quickly. It was all because of these stupid teammates who added fuel to the fire.
Isn’t Bai Shi Luo Xifeng’s man?
Why is he running away too?
Perhaps he was also afraid of the princess's previous crazy state...
"Or, why don't you ask them why they are not here?" Chu Yangyang said weakly.
"You..." Luo Xifeng was about to speak, but suddenly he held onto the bedpost and coughed heart-wrenchingly, with dark red blood leaking out from between his fingers.
Chu Yangyang instinctively tried to help him, but was dragged down to sit on the edge of the couch. "Luo Xifeng, how are you?"
Luo Xifeng brushed her hand away calmly, "It's okay."
She was a little worried, "But Doctor Xia said that you added new poison after testing the poison, and your body is exhausted. This will put your life in danger."
Luo Xifeng lowered his eyes, and when he raised them again, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, "Princess, do you know why I tested the poison?"
The aroma of medicine floated in the morning light. Luo Xifeng's fingertips caressed the white jade buckle at his waist. "Three years ago, during the spring hunt, a noble in the palace was accidentally poisoned by a snake."
He ripped open his shirt, revealing a spiderweb of poisonous markings on his chest that spread to his waist and abdomen. "This poison requires human blood as a trigger, and the duration is seven days."
Chu Yangyang stared at the old cut on his wrist, recalling the bloody record in the original book. When the prince was in danger, there was a medicine man who cut his wrist every day to get his blood. Later, Luo Xifeng gained the prince's trust and became his aide.
Since Luo Xifeng didn't say who it was, Chu Yangyang pretended not to know, "And then?"
"Later I discovered it was a chronic poison." Luo Xifeng tied his belt with the same graceful movements as writing a pen. "This poison attacks every three months and needs to be replaced with a new poison to suppress it."
He picked up the celadon vase on the table and said, "Just like this bottle of Crane's Beak Red, it can temporarily relieve the pain that gnaws at my bones."
Chu Yangyang suddenly understood. She remembered what was said in the original book, that Luo Xifeng had been able to escape the poison given by the original owner several times. Since she had been skipping chapters, many details were not clear to her, and she did not know how he detoxified himself later.
It turns out that Luo Xifeng is poisonous in nature, so we can only use a more ferocious poison to fight poison with poison.
"Ahem."
Suddenly, Luo Xifeng started coughing violently again, so much so that he couldn't straighten his back.
Chu Yangyang saw the medicine bowl on the table and quickly took it over. "Luo Xifeng, drink the medicine quickly. Doctor Xia told you to drink it as soon as you wake up."
Luo Xifeng coughed and brushed her away with his hand, "I won't drink the medicine the princess brought."
Suddenly being lifted up, Chu Yangyang lost her balance in order to steady the medicine bowl, and fell to the ground, holding the medicine bowl with one hand and supporting the ground with the other.
"hiss."
Chu Yangyang felt pain in her fingers and palms. She raised her hand and looked at it. There were a few pieces of broken porcelain bowls on the ground, which had been shattered yesterday and were deeply embedded in her hands.
She looked at the medicine bowl in her other hand and muttered, "Fortunately the medicine wasn't spilled..."
