Chapter 47 I’m obsessed with you, Zhao. You’ll never be able to get rid of me in this life…
Li Yulan's expression suddenly changed. He turned his head to look at Lou Wanqiao lying behind him, and a flash of struggle passed through his eyes.
In just two seconds, his thoughts turned back and forth several times, and finally he turned around and walked quickly to Lou Wanqiao's bed.
"take away!"
Li Jin, fainted in the corner, was ignored. After all, he wasn't Li Yulan's primary target for revenge. Now that he had Lou Wanqiao's promise, keeping her firmly under his control was the most important thing.
The moment he stretched out his hand, a gust of wind struck his face. Startled, Li Yulan quickly turned sideways, only to see the blade brush past his nose the next second.
His face turned stern, and he came back to meet that cold gaze. Lou Wanqiao supported himself with one hand, tightly holding a blade.
When... How could it be possible! How could she still be sane?
Li Yulan was shocked, and his eyes widened slightly, revealing his emotions at the moment.
Then she discovered a patch of bright red under Lou Wanqiao's robe.
Blood flowed from the palm of her hand that held the blade, dripping down the blade. The hem of her robe was also stained with a large patch of red, spreading from her thigh...
"You...!" He was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
In order to stay awake, this person actually slashed himself with a knife in a corner where he wasn't paying attention, using the pain to keep himself awake! !
What kind of person is she!
"Your Highness, it will be too late if you don't leave now!" The subordinate looked anxious and lowered his voice while standing at the door.
Li Yulan didn't answer. He turned to look at Lou Wanqiao and said softly, "Azhao, didn't you just agree to be with me?"
"Haha, would I be alive now if I hadn't agreed?" Lou Wanqiao raised an eyebrow, his lips pale from blood loss. "Li Yulan, you should be thankful you met the person I am today. If it were in the past, I wouldn't have cherished my life so much."
"You were lying to me...? I see..." He lowered his eyes, a look of dejection on his face. "So, everything Zhao said just now was just to fool me. I was so lucky I believed it."
“Your Highness…!”
The expression of the person at the door became increasingly ominous. Li Yulan no longer hesitated and reached out to attack Lou Wanqiao.
She swung the blade without hesitation, but was caught by Lou Wanqiao in mid-air.
Her eyes widened slightly.
Li Yulan actually caught her blade with one hand.
Tick-tock——
Their blood mixed between the blades and then fell to the ground together, forming a small blood flower.
Lou Wanqiao had no strength at the moment. Just fighting the aphrodisiac fragrance on his body consumed most of her mind. She was able to stay awake only by relying on her pain tolerance.
She didn't put all her hopes on persuading him to succeed. After all, risking her life to ensure Li Yulan didn't kill her was too dangerous. She decided to faint first and see what he thought. If it was safe for the time being, there was no need to take the risk. If Li Yulan planned to kill her with a knife while she was unconscious, she would also take advantage of his surprise and fight to the death.
Originally, the plan was to use the enemy's trick to trick Li Yulan into submission, and then figure out how to implement the next step. First, return to Li Yulan's base camp, and then work together inside and outside to capture him and use him.
But she heard the news that Wen Xuechi came looking for her while she closed her eyes and pretended to be dizzy.
I'm sorry, I didn't actually faint.
What I just said was just a temporary measure.
She trusted Wen Xuechi. As long as she could hold on a little longer and not let Li Yulan move her away, Lou Wanqiao was sure she could survive until Wen Xuechi found her.
I thought Li Yulan would give up, but he held on tighter. If he didn't leave now, was he waiting for her revenge?
"What are you doing?" Lou Wanqiao thought so and couldn't help but ask.
It was really that everything Li Yulan did was too unbelievable, and it always went against Lou Wanqiao's predictions.
She really couldn't understand Li Yulan's thoughts, nor could she see through him as a person.
What kind of person is this proton who was stranded outside in his early years?
What on earth did he experience in the Kingdom of Jin?!
"Azhao, you said you would help me, how could you go back on your word?" Li Yulan actually smiled in such a situation. He raised the corners of his lips and revealed a faint smile. "It's okay, I will never betray you, Azhao. I said I would stay with you forever..."
Lou Wanqiao frowned and exerted force on his hands: "Get out of here!!"
The sharp blade cut a deeper wound on the palm, and the blood on the ground spread out unknowingly. The blood of the two of them merged together and mixed with each other's blood along the palms.
"It's okay, A'zhao." He was clearly smiling, but Lou Wanqiao inexplicably felt a chill, as if being stared at by a cold-blooded animal. Goose bumps appeared on her back. "We had an appointment..."
He was very close to her, and Lou Wanqiao was unable to move and could only hold on to his only weapon tightly.
"Azhao," he leaned down into her arms, his breath falling on her neck as he spoke, like a venomous snake spitting out its tongue, "you will never be able to get rid of me in this life."
At the same time, there was a loud noise at the door.
The wooden door was blown open, and this was the scene Wen Xuechi saw when he rushed in from outside.
"Zizhao!"
Hearing Wen Xuechi's voice, Lou Wanqiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Excessive blood loss made his face unnaturally pale. Lou Wanqiao's gaze passed through Li Yulan's shoulder and met Wen Xuechi's. Then his eyes went black and he fell backwards.
"Zizhao!!"
The last thing he was aware of was Wen Xuechi’s call.
I don’t know how much time has passed. It seems very long, but also like just a moment.
My body was hot, my limbs were scorching, yet my bones were strangely cold. The cold seemed to be bubbling out from the cracks between my bones, colliding with the heat within me.
A chaotic stream of air was running around in the body, with no outlet to vent. It was as painful as if insects and ants were gnawing at my bones.
It’s so hot…
So cold!
So thirsty.
A stream of clear water slowly flowed from the lips into the throat, and then flowed into the stomach, relieving the heat slightly.
Then another force poured into the body along the back, and after a search, it accurately trapped the chaotic airflow and slowly drew it out from the meridians.
Lou Wanqiao finally fell asleep.
She had a long dream.
She dreamed of her childhood again. Her father and mother were looking at her in the yard, and her two elder sisters were also looking at her with smiles on their faces.
She tried to walk towards them but was blocked by a door.
"Our Jiaojiao has grown up so much..." Mother's eyes were full of love. She stretched out her hand towards her, as if wanting to touch her head. "Jiaojiao, you have worked hard these years... Please, please take care of yourself... Mother is so distressed..."
My mother's eyes were filled with tears, and thousands of words were written in her eyes, which finally condensed into a piece of advice.
"Jiaojiao, stay healthy and safe."
Dad stood beside Mom. He didn't say anything, but his eyes showed his usual encouragement.
"Jiaojiao, just do whatever you want! You will always be my good sister, and I am proud of you!"
Her eyes were wet.
This was the first time in all these years that she heard her family talking in her dream.
Not the nightmare from decades ago, nor the memory.
They finally agreed to come to see her in her dreams.
Her mind was clearly aware that this was a dream, but she was reluctant to destroy the scene before her.
Lou Wanqiao wiped away her tears: "Daddy, Mommy, Big Sister and Second Sister, Jiaojiao is almost there... Jiaojiao won't let you be wronged..."
"I will never disappoint kind people like you..."
"My dear Jiaojiao, you've worked so hard, what if you've damaged your body?" Mother stretched out her hand, but it seemed as if there was a long distance between them. "You must eat well and wear more clothes. Your health is the most important thing. Jiaojiao, your happiness and safety are more important than anything else."
"Mom!" The tears that had just dried fell again, and she couldn't help but cry loudly, "Mom, Jiaojiao misses you so much..."
Everything in front of him slowly dissipated like smoke. Lou Wanqiao opened his eyes and everything in front of him was blurry.
Her cheeks felt hot, and she blinked again, finally able to see clearly.
Something seemed to be moving on her face. She rolled her eyes again and saw Wen Xuechi sitting very close to her.
He lowered his hand and gently brushed his thumb across her eyes.
"Yan Gui?"
"Yeah, I'm here." Wen Xuechi replied softly, withdrew his hand, and turned to the table, fiddling with something.
"How long was I unconscious?"
"It's been a day and a night, and this is the second day." Wen Xuechi's voice was a little hoarse. He turned back with a porcelain bowl in his hand, "Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Take some medicine first."
Lou Wanqiao stopped talking. Only then did she realize that her nose felt sore and blocked, and her eyes and face were wet, probably because she had cried in her dream.
She felt a little embarrassed when she thought that Wen Xuechi had seen what happened just now.
Lou Wanqiao was propped up and half leaned against the pillow. He lowered his head and drank the medicine in one gulp from the bowl handed to him by Wen Xuechi. Then he exhaled: "Okay, tell me about the situation."
"Li Yulan has planted a poisonous insect in your body." He said in a serious tone, "...The insect is hidden in his blood. If he dies, you will not survive."
"Where is he now?"
Wen Xuechi was silent for a moment.
“…Okay, I understand.”
After hearing what he said, Lou Wanqiao could probably guess what happened next, and could barely understand Li Yulan's abnormal behavior.
Knowing he couldn't take her away, he was unwilling to give up, so he took the opportunity to plant a poison in her body. He then threatened to commit suicide and ran away right under Wen Xuechi's nose.
What a tough opponent.
Lou Wanqiao sighed softly. Although she had been mentally prepared, she hadn't expected Li Yulan to scheme against her like this. She'd thought she was a fisherman, but she hadn't expected the fish to bite her back.
"Zizhao, you will be fine." Wen Xuechi whispered.
"Hmm? Don't worry, Li Yulan won't take action right now. As for the rest, I can think of a way..."
She tried to prop herself up and sit up, but accidentally pulled at her wound and gasped.
I can obviously endure it in critical moments, but why does the pain become unbearable when I am safe?
"Zizhao," Wen Xuechi's heart tightened, and he quickly pulled up her hand to examine it carefully. "...Don't move. I'll change the dressing for you."
