Ingenuity

"My lord's heart is damaged, and the poison spreads. I'm afraid the time is numbered."

"Impossible! How is it possible! This is the prince!"

"My lord is human after all."

"But... the prince is so powerful, how could he be tricked..."

Qingyan looked at the blood stains on the cuff of her sleeves, then looked up at Zhuang Hansu.

The doctor stood up, "My prescription can only delay the onset of his toxicity. As for how long it can be delayed, there is nothing I can do. Find a doctor who can cure the poison as soon as possible, and there is still hope."

The crowd followed the doctor to the door, Qingyan walked behind and wanted to get a glass of water, but suddenly heard a sound behind him, turned around, Zhuang Hansu fell half of his body from the bed, his face was flushed, veins popped up, and the corners of his mouth were oozing again. Black blood came out, staring at him closely.

Even though she couldn't hear it, Qing Yan knew what he was talking about by looking at the shape of his mouth.

"Don't go."

Lingjiu Lingshan heard the voice, and hurried to help, Qingyan looked at Zhuang Hansu's miserable state, as if he was frozen in place, unable to lift his heavy steps.

Zhuang Hansu poisoned his veins, but he kept alerting him not to leave in a half-dream and half-awake state. Even though his body and mind were in pain, even if he would vomit blood and fall, he still crawled towards him desperately, not letting him go.

why?

At this moment, Qingyan didn't know how he felt, he was surprisingly good at hearing, and he couldn't hear the noisy voices around him.

All he could hear was his exhausted and painful breath and mouth movements.

"Don't go..."

don't go...don't go...

One sound... In Qingyan's mind, it seemed to fit perfectly with some sound. He tried to listen carefully, but he couldn't hear it...

Zhuang Hansu... Do you really only know my name?

Do you really not know me?

Why... is it me?

Qingyan felt a dull pain in his brain, and when he closed his eyes in a trance, there was another picture flashing in front of his eyes, the scene flashed too fast, and he couldn't catch it but wanted to catch it...

"My son... my son..."

When Qingyan came back to his senses, he was already sitting on the ground, Lingjiu and Lingshan were terrified, Lingshan protected Zhuang Hansu from coming over, Lingjiu kept calling by his side.

Qingyan regained consciousness in a daze, her senses of hearing gradually recovered, and her head didn't hurt so much.

"I'm fine, help me up."

Lingjiu said nervously: "Doctor! Come and show me!"

"No need." Qing Yan brushed the dust off his clothes, "Go and fry the medicine, I'll just watch him here."

"Son..."

"Go."

Qingyan sat back on the side of the bed, looked at Zhuang Hansu's weak face, Qingyan took out the stone that Zhuang Hansu gave him before, "You know everything about me...how much do you know...how much do you know? "

Zhuang Hansu gently pinched the corner of Qingyan's clothes with trembling hands, and Qingyan moved the stone closer to him, "Do you know this..."

Zhuang Hansu was in a daze, knowing that Qingyan was still there, he relaxed a lot, "Don't you remember... this is...you gave it to me."

"I gave it to you? When?"

Zhuang Hansu hooked the corner of his mouth and smiled, "10 years ago..."

"10 years ago? How old were you 10 years ago?"

"I..." Zhuang Hansu was too tired, his head was too heavy, so he just fell asleep...

10 years ago...they met?He also gave him a rock?

"Lingshan!" Lingshan just entered the room with the medicine in his hand, "Master, are you calling me?"

"How old is your prince this year?"

"My lord? Another four years will be the year of my thirties."

Ten years ago... was he 16 years old?

"What was the year when the prince saved you? How old was it?"

Lingshan helped Zhuang Hansu up and thought about it carefully, "It's been ten years..."

"The prince saved you in Nancheng ten years ago?"

"Yes. Young Master, do you have any questions?"

Ten years ago, he gave Zhuang Hansu a stone in Nancheng?

Qingyan frowned, staring at the stone in his hand in a daze.

Lingshan fed the medicine safely, put Zhuang Hansu to lie down properly, didn't hear Qingyan speak for a long time, subconsciously glanced at Qingyan, and saw him staring at the things in his hand in a daze...

"This is..." Lingshan looked at the stone in Qingyan's hand in surprise, "This thing..."

"You recognize it?" Qingyan handed it to Lingshan, who picked it up and looked at it carefully for a moment.

"I've seen it before..." Lingshan muttered, and then his face became serious, as if he was remembering something.

"Where?"

Lingshan looked up at Qingyan, "Where did you get this stone, sir?"

"Your lord gave it to me."

"My lord?" Lingshan felt relieved after hearing this, "Ten years ago when I was in Nancheng, I accidentally stumbled into a cave, and there were some stones like this at the entrance of that cave."

"As a result, when I came out from there, I was hunted down all the way. Fortunately, I met the prince and saved me."

"Why were you hunted down?"

Lingshan shook his head, "It's inexplicable. Thinking about it, I just strayed into the mountains and got lost there, and suddenly I was chased and killed. It's hard for me to understand at the age of 12."

Qingyan frowned, "Why?"

Lingshan pursed his lips, "That's right. I thought about it later, and I have never seen such a stone in my 12 years of life. I took one in my hand at the time. I am afraid it is a rare treasure? Or... I broke into it. Something that shouldn't be known, so it was destroyed."

Caves... Stones... Nancheng...

Qingyan put the stone back into her arms silently, raised her eyes to look at Zhuang Hansu, grabbed his clothes, and slept much more peacefully.
