At the gate of the mansion, Leng Qingning had just opened her mouth to speak, and before she could exchange more words with Wen Yanche, Wen Yanche briefly told her about the recent events in the mansion.
The key point is to tell her that Lu Shiyi has been mentally tormented for a long time and may do something foolish.
Just now, Xiao An went to the palace to fetch the imperial physician, saying that Lu Shiyi had taken poison and his condition was very serious...
Wen Yanche looked grave and said to Leng Qingning that Lu Shiyi might not make it.
Please ask Leng Qingning to come and see him one last time.
a bolt from the blue!
Upon hearing this devastating news, Leng Qingning was overwhelmed with grief and, without saying a word to Wen Yanche, hurriedly rushed to Lu Shiyi's courtyard.
Hehuan Pavilion
"Shi Yi".
Leng Qingning hurriedly stepped into the room, her face showing urgency, and her eyes revealing deep unease and anxiety.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xianzhi and Lu Shiyi both looked over.
"Wife... Mistress? What's wrong?"
Lin Xianzhe was shocked. He couldn't believe that Leng Qingning had returned ahead of schedule.
"My lady, come quickly and see Brother Shiyi, he is not well..." Lin Xianzhi was heartbroken, tears streaming down her face, her voice trembling as she spoke.
Lu Shiyi was stunned and forgot to struggle for a moment. He deliberately drank the poison before Leng Qingning returned because he didn't want to face her.
He was shaken, and his eyes darted away.
Leng Qingning was startled by the scene before her and quickly walked to the two of them.
“Shi Yi…” Leng Qingning sat down next to Lu Shi Yi, pulled him from Lin Xianzhi’s arms to her own, hugged him tightly, and quickly transferred spiritual energy to him.
Leng Qingning was heartbroken. Suddenly, she remembered the divine medicine that Kong Xuanzi had, and immediately took it out and gave it to Lu Shiyi.
Even after taking the elixir, Leng Qingning still felt uneasy. Last time, Qiu Ge took the elixir, but he still left.
She feared that Lu Shiyi would die like Qiu Ge...
Looking at his dying, blood-covered appearance, Leng Qingning felt a lump in her throat, her throat tightened, and tears streamed down her face in an instant.
"Shi Yi, I'm late..."
"How could you be so foolish? Why didn't you wait for me to come back?"
Leng Qingning tightly embraced Lu Shiyi with her other hand and cried out.
After a year apart, Lu Shiyi never expected to see Leng Qingning again. He was now lying in her arms, but in this state.
"My lady..." He struggled a few times, trying to break free from Leng Qingning's embrace, not wanting her to be stained with his blood.
Seeing his action, Leng Qingning felt a pang of heartache and hugged him even tighter.
At this moment, the words "Lu Shiyi is about to die" kept echoing in my mind.
Hot tears streamed down her face. "Shi Yi, how could you take poison! Our child is only a few months old, how could you bear to abandon her?"
Why didn't you wait for me to come back?
Tears fell onto Lu Shiyi's cheeks. He seemed to sense her heartache, and his emotions were stirred. He slowly reached out and stroked Leng Qingning's face.
He wanted to say something, but before he could speak, perhaps due to excessive emotion, he coughed up another mouthful of blood.
"Shi Yi..."
"Brother Shi Yi!"
Their hearts clenched instantly.
"Shi Yi, don't speak. The imperial physician will be here soon. You will get better. I want to spend every day with you. You can't die."
He then increased the amount of spiritual energy he poured into the system.
Leng Qingning panicked. At this moment, she felt an intense pain in her heart, as if something important was leaving her.
A warm feeling rose in my heart.
That was the temperature emitted by the Azure Phoenix Divine Jade.
Lu Shiyi's eyes unconsciously filled with deep affection. His body twitched slightly, and his blood was still rushing to his head. He had a premonition that his life was rapidly slipping away.
He opened his mouth, as if to give Leng Qingning his final words.
"My lady, it seems that Brother Shi Yi has something to say," Lin Xianzhi reminded her, crying.
“I know,” she said sadly.
Leng Qingning saw through it, but she didn't want Lu Shiyi to die. She deliberately ignored his "last words" in hopes that he would hold on a little longer.
Once the last words are spoken, a person loses all motivation to continue.
While supporting him, she comforted him through tears: "Shi Yi, hang in there, you will get better. Our Yao Yao, she is the eldest daughter, the eldest daughter of this prince and you. She will have a bright future. You must get better and accompany her through the rest of her life. You can't be so selfish as to abandon her."
"You can't abandon me either. I won't let you die, do you hear me?"
When he said his last words, the reluctance and bitterness in his eyes seemed about to overflow.
Lu Shiyi saw it clearly.
Such sincerity moved him instantly. He tried to open his eyes wide to look at Leng Qingning. The question that had been hidden deep in his heart but he dared not ask was finally asked with all his might.
"My lady...did you ever love me?"
"Do you believe I didn't harm Gu Cejun's child?"
Upon hearing this, Leng Qingning was slightly taken aback, and she thought about the question carefully.
A few seconds later, in the quiet air, Leng Qingning replied with utmost seriousness, word by word: "Shi Yi, perhaps before you asked me this, I couldn't give you a definite answer, but do you know? From the moment I stepped through this door until now, my heart has been aching. I don't want you to leave..."
At that moment, she realized that the other person had already unknowingly become an integral part of her life and was now an indispensable presence.
She paused, her eyes filled with tenderness, her tone gentle yet firm: "Shi Yi, I believe in you, I love you, and from now on, I will always love you. For me and Yao Yao, you must persevere and not leave us, okay?"
At this point, she gently kissed Lu Shiyi's forehead, her voice filled with urgent pleading: "I want to spend the future with you, I want to be with you for a lifetime. We still have a long time ahead of us, please don't die... okay?"
"Really?...My lady." Lu Shiyi asked uncertainly.
Leng Qing nodded solemnly, and once again uttered the words he had always wanted to hear, "Really, I love you, Shi Yi. I didn't understand my own heart. I'm sorry..."
"I love you..."
The belated confession reached Lu Shiyi's ears and stirred his heartstrings.
Looking into Leng Qingning's sorrowful eyes, hope ignited in his heart.
So, it turns out, my wife has feelings for me!
So, my wife is willing to believe me!
"Master Wife......"
He suddenly regretted it. He shouldn't have been so insecure. He shouldn't have run away, shouldn't have wasted his energy and overthinking, and he certainly shouldn't have committed suicide, refusing to even see the other person one last time.
"My lady, I was wrong, I regret it. I want to be with you forever, and I love you very much, but..."
He felt his body was empty, he had no strength left, and his eyes were full of regret.
This wish is probably impossible to fulfill.
“I’m sorry, my wife, I’m afraid I won’t be able to walk with you in this life. In the next life… I…”
Leng Qingning didn't want to hear what he was saying and was about to interrupt him when another voice appeared and interrupted Lu Shiyi before she could.
"Forget about the next life, let's cherish this one."
