Chapter 90: She can't escape her fate
For several days, Luo Xifeng did not return home, and Chu Yangyang had not seen him either.
Chu Yangyang leaned against the window and counted the falling leaves on the fourth day. Suddenly, the fishy and sweet taste in her throat filled her handkerchief.
When Miao Yun pushed the door open to deliver medicine, he saw her stuffing the blood-stained handkerchief under her pillow.
Miao Yun sighed and walked in, "Princess, please drink this medicine first."
Chu Yangyang took the medicine and drank it. "Did Lord Luo brew this medicine?"
"Yes." Miao Yun began to complain, "Lord Luo clearly cares deeply about the princess. He always personally oversees your medicine and never delegates it to anyone else. Yet, he is so stubborn as to refuse to come and visit the princess."
Chu Yangyang yawned, a little listless. "If you can't get over it, don't force him."
"Princess." Miao Yun was worried. "You've been getting more and more sleepy lately. Could there be something wrong with your health?"
Chu Yangyang lowered her head. She had clearly felt her body's energy slowly being depleted over the past two days, and she felt very tired every day.
She seemed to have a bad feeling.
Perhaps, she could not escape the fate of being reduced to ashes in the original book.
In that case, she was too lazy to struggle.
She thought of something and called Miaoyun, "Miaoyun, I need you to help me with something."
Miao Yun walked to Chu Yangyang. After Chu Yangyang said okay to her, Miao Yun suddenly opened her eyes wide.
"Princess, are you crazy? Do you really want to die?"
Chu Yangyang put her finger to her lips and shushed him. "Keep your voice down. What are you making so much noise for?"
Miao Yun was furious, "Princess, you can't do this!"
Chu Yangyang was silent for a moment, then raised her eyes with a determined look, "Miaoyun, I hope I can do something meaningful before I die."
"Besides, I hope he's fine..."
In the end, Miao Yun couldn't resist Chu Yangyang and agreed to help her.
After Chu Shiyuan resigned from his official position, the old emperor gave him time to hand over his work and he could wait for two months before returning home.
Chu Yangyang enjoyed a leisurely life, eating and sleeping every day.
However, in her heart, she still wanted to see that familiar figure.
She asked Miaoyun why she always thought of him?
Miao Yun said, "Because you, Princess, have always liked Lord Luo. Otherwise, why would you force yourself to marry him?"
Miao Yun's words were like the Nine Yin Scriptures, which instantly opened up Chu Yangyang's Ren and Du meridians.
She thought she liked him.
With her identity as Chu Yangyang, not the original Chu Yangyang.
She missed him. She loved his hugs and the intimacy of their lips entangled.
However, this realization came a little late, and she seemed to be running out of time.
Well, take this secret away with you.
The autumn wind was bleak, leaving the majestic Bishuiyunju in Chuyang deserted.
Ever since Chu Shiyuan resigned from his official position, few people have come to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Chu Yangyang spends almost every day from dawn to dusk in bed.
Miao Yun pushed Chu Yangyang's shoulder hard, "Princess, hurry up and take the medicine. Don't sleep any more."
Chu Yangyang closed her eyes tightly and could not be woken up no matter how Miao Yun called out.
Miao Yun became anxious, she rushed out and used horse riding skills which she was not good at.
The Imperial Hospital saw the person coming but did not stop him. "Is this Miss Miaoyun? Are you here to get medicine for the princess again?"
Miao Yun didn't have time to say anything more and rushed into the Imperial Hospital, "Master Luo, this is bad, Master Luo, please go and see the princess! She's dying."
The pestle hit the bluestone bricks, and Luo Xifeng knocked over the basket of angelica that was drying.
Without saying a word, he ran out and jumped on his horse.
The door curtain of Bishuiyunju was blown away by the strong wind, and Chu Yangyang was lying quietly on the bed, her face thin and pale.
Luo Xifeng grabbed her wrist, his pulse trembling at his fingertips like a broken spider silk.
Why, after just half a month of not seeing her, her pulse has become so weak?
There's a feeling of being powerless to turn the tide?
"Where are the ginseng slices?" he turned around and asked.
Miao Yun cried and replied, "I ate it all. The princess has been getting worse and worse lately. She's been drowsy all day and eats the ginseng slices very quickly."
"Why don't you come to me to get it?" Luo Xifeng was a little annoyed.
In fact, what I hate in my heart is my own carelessness!
Why didn't he come to see her earlier!
Miao Yun replied softly, "The princess wouldn't let me go. She said... she knows her own body and eating too much will be useless."
Luo Xifeng lifted the quilt, but suddenly stopped. Chu Yangyang's other wrist was wrapped in bloody cotton cloth.
He trembled as he untied the scabby gauze, revealing seven knife scars of varying depths.
"What's going on?" He was a little panicked.
Miao Yun fell to his knees, "Lord Luo, please try to persuade the princess."
"What's going on?" Luo Xifeng's eyes were red.
Miao Yun cried out in grief, "The princess asked me to dig an ice cellar in the backyard half a month ago. She draws blood from her wrist every day and stores it in the ice box. She said she wants to save her blood first, in case she...she dies, Lord Luo has an antidote for her."
As he spoke, Miao Yun took out a piece of letter from the drawer and handed it to Luo Xifeng, "Lord Luo, this is a letter from the princess."
Luo Xifeng took the letter tremblingly and opened it slowly.
From Lord Luo Xifeng:
Show your confidence.
I guess by the time you see this letter, I won't have much time left.
Since we parted, I have been afraid of disturbing your peace and have not dared to bother you.
I knew that my fate was coming to an end, or rather, I had known this ending long ago and it was not surprising.
The adults once said that doctors cannot save themselves. Now I understand what he meant.
I don’t know when it started, but I always miss you day and night, but I am always afraid that when you see me, you still hate me.
But it doesn’t matter. I shouldn’t bother Lord Luo anymore.
But the poison in you has always been a source of worry for me.
These days, I took some and asked Miaoyun to freeze them. If you need them, you can ask her for them.
I hope my blood can still be effective against your poison and not be contaminated by new poison, otherwise I will leave with even more regrets.
Lord Luo, I seem to have a lot to say to you, but I don’t know where to start.
After thinking for a while, I just want to say sorry to you.
I'm sorry my father had to destroy your people.
I'm sorry for forcing myself to marry you without your consent and ruining your marriage.
I'm sorry that I couldn't help you detoxify successfully in the end, so I have to leave now.
No matter how much I say, there are always some regrets.
I only hope that from now on, you will be able to enjoy the bright moon and gentle breeze, save the world with your medicine, and find your own happiness.
Sincerely, Yangyang.
