The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

Jiang Ci ran all the way to Qingyun Mountain and came to the courtyard where Yan Shu lived. Liu Hanyue was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard and glanced at Jiang Ci coldly.

"She just woke up."

Jiang Ci flashed to the door like a gust of wind, raised his hand and trembled slightly. He took a deep breath before he mustered up the courage to push the door open.

His eyes went straight to the figure in the room. Yan Shu had already stood up and was sitting in front of his dressing table, combing his long hair.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, she turned sideways and looked towards the door.

"Aci, you're here."

Jiang Ci stared at her straight, his hands clenched tightly at his sides, and walked towards Yan Shu step by step.

When we met again after several months of separation, she had lost a lot of weight, and her face was obviously pale and sick. She looked like a fragile porcelain doll, and people were afraid to reach out and touch her, for fear that the doll would break if they were not careful.

A huge feeling of grief surged into his chest. Jiang Ci walked to Yan Shu, slowly squatted down, and stared at her.

"Jiaojiao, I'm sorry, I'm late. Let's go to Jialan Temple to find Master Hongyi. He has profound Buddhist knowledge and is proficient in medicine. He will definitely be able to cure you."

Yan Shu lowered his eyes and looked at Jiang Ci. At this moment, he had lost his usual calmness and sophistication. He looked at her with almost pleading eyes, like a panicked and helpless child.

She raised her hand and gently stroked Jiang Ci's cold cheek, and the warm tears in his eyes dripped onto the back of her hand.

"Ah Ci, don't cry. Seeing you cry makes me want to cry too. I have kept it a secret from you for so long. I should be the one to say sorry. I know you love me very much. It is because I know that I am like a coward and don't know how to face you. That time... you were seriously injured while saving me. When General Feng advised me to leave you, I was actually very sad. I also want to be with you, but I can't... I can't be selfish and covet your tenderness only to let you bear the pain of separation alone. I thought you would completely forget me after you lose your memory. Maybe you would fall in love with another woman, and we would really become strangers. What I didn't expect was that you would still find me even after you lost your memory."

Yan Shu exhaled a breath of cold air: "At that time... I was helpless and happy. My reason told me that I should resolutely push you away, but my emotion made me instinctively get closer to you. After all, I was selfish for once."

Jiang Ci buried his head in Yan Shu's legs, hot tears flowing out.

"That's not the case. You always think more about others. You take care of me, everyone in the Yan family, and even those insignificant people. But when you encounter problems, you always keep them to yourself. Jiaojiao, am I useless? I just realized such a big thing now. How can I save you? Please tell me, how can I save you..."

Jiang Ci was on the verge of collapse, as if he was back in the winter when he was four years old, when his mother stood on the city wall and jumped down. The glaring red color stained her dress. He watched his mother die in front of him, and the fear of helplessness dragged him into an endless abyss.

Yan Shu leaned over and gently pressed against Jiang Ci's body. Due to his emotional fluctuations, his body became increasingly weak.

"Aci, I am really lucky to come to this world and meet you at the best time. I have watched you escape the tragic ending in the original book and kill your enemies and ascend the throne. In fact, I am already very satisfied. Don't be sad about my departure. My cheap father said that I am just returning to the world that should belong to me. You have to live well and be a good emperor. The Great Sui will surely prosper under your governance."

Jiang Ci held her hand tightly: "Don't say it, I don't want to hear such words, you will be fine, I will send someone to Nanyang to invite Master Hongyi, he and Master Xuanheng are both great doctors in the world, the two of them will definitely be able to work together to come up with a way to cure you."

Jiang Ci's eyes were red. He held her hand and put it against his face, looking at her almost pleadingly.

"Jiaojiao, don't say discouraging words. Please, don't give up on me."

Yan Shu tried hard to hold back his tears and smiled weakly: "Master Uncle Xuan Heng said it would snow today. Winter has come again in a blink of an eye. How about we celebrate the New Year in Qingyun Mountain this year?"

Jiang Ci nodded: "Okay, let's spend the New Year together in Qingyun Mountain. Jiaojiao, if you are tired, don't talk. I will carry you back to bed to rest."

Yan Shu shook his head and said, "I want to go to the Hopeless Cliff in the back mountain to watch the sea of ​​fog and the sunrise."

Jiang Ci was stunned for a moment: "It's too cold outside, can we go after you recover?"

"You promised to go with me."

Yan Shu glanced out the window and said with a smile, "The red plum blossoms outside are in bloom. There is a plum blossom forest on the back hill. We can enjoy the flowers along the mountain path."

Jiang Ci stared at her quietly, feeling a sharp pain in his heart.

"Okay, let's go right away."

Yan Shu stood up slowly. Jiang Ci took a red fox fur cloak from the hanger and put it on Yan Shu. He wrapped the big fur collar hat tightly around her head. He squatted down and patted his shoulder: "I'll carry you."

Yan Shu lay obediently on Jiang Ci's back. Jiang Ci stood up with her on his back and walked out of the room.

In the yard, Liu Hanyue, Xuan Heng, Xuan Kong, Qin Chuan, Nangong Yan and others were all waiting outside. Jiang Ci walked out with Yan Shu on his back as if no one was around. Liu Hanyue wanted to step forward to stop them but was stopped by Xuan Kong.

"Let them say goodbye properly."

Liu Hanyue said nothing and slowly closed her eyes.

The path up the mountain

Yan Shu suppressed his tiredness and looked at the man carrying him on his back.

"Aci, do you still remember the scene when we first met?"

"I remember that night, my eldest brother had just been buried. Late at night, I suddenly heard a noise coming from the main room next door. I got up to check and saw you sitting on the ground in a daze."

Yan Shu smiled and said, "I had just arrived in this world, and my brain still had the memories of the original owner. Suddenly, I saw a handsome young man appear in front of me. I almost... almost frightened to death."

Jiang Ci asked: "Why are you afraid of me?"

The look in her eyes when she looked at him was indeed full of fear, completely different from the arrogant look of the woman before.

"Because... what she did later was too much. You hated her to the core and chopped her into pieces and let wild dogs eat her body. I... I thought at the time that I was such a sucker. In order to save... my life, I tried my best to please you."

Jiang Ci glanced sideways at the person lying on his back.

"Is this the reason why Jiaojiao was nice to me in the first place?"

Yan Shu groaned for a moment and said, "Not entirely. I was afraid of your revenge, but also felt sorry for your experience. When I read that book... you were my favorite character. Maybe... maybe I subconsciously decided to change your beautiful, strong and tragic ending."
