return to peace

"Master, the medicine is ready."

"Okay, let's go." Chu Lingshang took the bowl of black medicine, helped Ji Fan up and leaned against his arms, scooped up a spoonful, put it near his mouth and blew carefully, and then fed it to Ji Fan. But Ji Fan was still lethargic, and the medicine he had fed flowed out again.Chu Lingshang hurriedly handed the medicine bowl to Lin Feng, and took the handkerchief beside him to wipe off the stains on Ji Fan's body.

He glanced at Lin Feng, Lin Feng understood, handed him the medicine bowl, silently exited the room, and closed the door behind him.

Chu Lingshang put Ji Fan down, took a sip from the medicine bowl, and the bitter taste came straight to his nose. He pinched Ji Fan's chin, leaned over slightly, and passed the medicine in his mouth.Lips and teeth depend on each other, but this time, it is bitter.One bite at a time, finally finished feeding the medicine, and Chen Lingshang was also sweating from the tip of his nose.

At night, Chen Lingshang couldn't eat any more after eating a little porridge.He sent everyone out and stayed by Ji Fan's bed alone.Xu Shi was so tired that he kept on guarding, and his mind became confused.In the haze, Chu Lingshang felt a feather-like touch on his face, his heart moved, his mind immediately cleared up, he raised his head suddenly, and met Shang Ji Fan's soft eyes.Immediately, the worry, anxiety, and tension of the past few days relaxed, as if a tight string in my heart finally broke, my nose became sore, and my eyes turned red.

"You're finally awake." Before he finished speaking, his voice choked up.He has always been a strong person, but in front of his beloved who survived catastrophe, he still can't help it.He really didn't want to experience the feeling of almost losing it again.

Ji Fan pulled out a smile, but his eyes were also red.God knows, how afraid he is that he will never see him again in countless times of waking and sleeping.

"I'm sorry, I still can't help it. The moment I fell off the cliff, I thought of you; the moment I fell into darkness, I thought of you. When I opened my eyes and saw you first, I thought I know, I can't let it go."

The tears in Chen Lingshang's eyes still couldn't hold back, and burst out of his eyes. "It's my fault, it's my cowardice, I'm deceiving myself." He hurriedly turned his head away, trying to wipe away his tears.

Ji Fan gently held his hand: "Don't cry, I understand. Let's all be brave, shall we? If we don't try, how will we know that the ending will be bad?"

Chu Lingshang was so choked up that he couldn't speak, but just nodded vigorously.He was really afraid, afraid that heaven and man would be separated forever, and he really regretted that he didn't tell the truth.The furthest distance in the world is always between life and death.

Ji Fan quietly held his hand without speaking, allowing him to vent all the emotions accumulated during this period.He knows that he has always been strong, but in front of him, he can be weak.

After a while, Chen Lingshang calmed down, wiped away tears, and asked, "How do you feel? Is there any discomfort?" Xu Shi cried hard, and spoke with a nasal voice.

Ji Fan shook his head slightly: "Come here, give me a hug."

"You have injuries."

"It's okay, come here, I want to hug you."

Chu Lingshang hesitated for a moment, then leaned over, trying to avoid Ji Fan's injury.Ji Fan opened his left hand and wrapped him in his arms. He lightly pressed a kiss on the top of his hair and said softly, "For some reason, I knew you would come to save me. So I knew , until I see you, I want to live a good life."

His words made Chu Lingshang's nose a little sour again: "Don't scare me like that next time."

Ji Fan hummed lightly, "No more."

Chu Lingshang closed his eyes, listened quietly to Ji Fan's regular heartbeat, and finally felt at ease.The two silently felt each other's existence, and after a while, Chu Lingshang asked, "What happened to you at that time?"

Ji Fan described the scene in detail, which was not much different from what Lin Feng and Chu Zetan said earlier: "After I was pushed off the cliff by the assassin, my body hit several trees one after another, which also buffered the descent. The momentum finally landed on a protruding platform on the cliff wall. Because the platform was very narrow, the assassin landed on the edge of the platform and rolled down accidentally, while I just landed on the inside of the platform and lost my life. The platform is connected to a cave. At that time, I felt that I was about to die, so I struggled to move into the cave. There was a small pool in the cave. I cleaned the wound with water. If I can’t hold on, I’ll lose my mind. I woke up a few times during the period, and when I was thirsty, I drank some water from the pool, and then continued to fall asleep.”

After hearing this, Chu Lingshang could only say "fortunately", luckily in the midst of misfortune, God did not treat him poorly after all.

"You're tired too, come up and sleep." Ji Fan said.

Chu Lingshang shook his head: "Your wound is deep, I'm afraid I'll touch you."

"It's okay, I'll stay far away from you, so I won't be able to touch you." Saying that, Ji Fan moved a few minutes in with difficulty.

"Hey, don't move around." Chu Lingshang hurriedly stopped his movements, but finally couldn't bear his insistence, so he took off his coat and shoes, and lay down on the bed.

He was lying on his back in a dignified manner next to the edge of the bed, about one person's distance away from Ji Fan. Looking at his cautious look, Ji Fan laughed, "Be careful not to fall." Pull it over.

"You are injured, don't move around." Chu Lingshang said anxiously, seeing that Ji Fan hadn't moved, Fang covered the two of them with the quilt, "Go to sleep."

Seeing this, Ji Fan had no choice but to close his eyes peacefully.This night, no dreams.

"Young master." Lin Feng called softly outside the door.

Chu Lingshang immediately opened his eyes, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Ji Fan's face close at hand, he was gently held in Ji Fan's arms, their noses were facing each other, and their breaths blended together.

"Young Master." Lin Feng's voice sounded again outside the house.

Chen Lingshang closed his eyes, leaned forward slightly, and pressed his lips against his lips, feeling warm and soft to the touch.Falling in love is falling in love, once a decision is made, he will not regret it.

He gently took Ji Fan's hand away, backed away from his embrace, dressed lightly, and went out the door.

"My lord, people from Chen Guo are here." Lin Feng reported.

"Let's go see you." Chu Lingshang knew that it was time for him and Ji Fan to say goodbye.

When Chu Lingshang walked out of the mansion, Third Prince Chen had just dismounted from his horse. He had always been afraid of Chu Lingshang, so he just greeted him lightly.Chu Lingshang didn't care, and when he saw the person getting off the carriage, he still paused.

"Miss Wen." Chu Lingshang went forward to meet him.

Wen Ruyu's demeanor was still lonely and arrogant, but her expression still revealed the tiredness of traveling these days, "Thank you, Master Guo, for saving my son's life."

"This is what should be done. General Ji saved our princess, and his credit is indispensable."

"How is he now?"

"Still sleeping, there should be nothing serious." After saying that, Chen Lingshang welcomed them in, and went to the hall to drink tea first.

After everyone drank a cup of tea, the servants came to report, and Ji Fan woke up.The Third Prince Chen was the first to follow. Wen Ruyu glanced at Chu Lingshang and followed.Chen Ling's cup did not move, but the tea in his hand could no longer be drunk.

At noon, Chen Lingshang bid farewell to Ji Fan when there was no one in his room.

"Why are you walking so fast?" Ji Fan asked.

"I came here on purpose to put aside my DPRK-China affairs. Now that you have found it, and someone from Chen Guo has come to pick you up, it won't make sense if I don't go back." Chu Lingshang poured him a cup of hot tea.

Ji Fan took it, held it in his hand but didn't drink it, and said after a while, "I will miss you very much. You have to write to me."

Chu Lingshang nodded: "Okay, I will write you a letter."

"Come on, give me a kiss." Ji Fan closed his eyes, raised his head, pursed his lips, and acted like a rascal again.

Chu Lingshang was amused and shy at the same time. The two of them had just communicated with each other, but he hadn't fully adapted yet.He rubbed Ji Fan's hair and wanted to leave.Unexpectedly, Ji Fan pulled him violently with his uninjured hand, and Chu Lingshang lost his balance and fell on him.

Ji Fan snorted, just as Chu Lingshang wanted to straighten up to see if he had pressed on his wound, the next moment his jaw was lifted, and his fiery lips pressed up.Chu Lingshang wanted to push him away, but he heard Ji Fan's hoarse voice: "Don't move." He really didn't dare to move anymore, for fear of touching Ji Fan's wound.

Tossing and turning, Chu Lingshang closed his eyes, and his heart was filled with reluctance.

There are still five years, too many things to do.

That afternoon, Chu Lingshang hurried back to Xiliang.Three days later, Chen Guo and his party also set out on the road.

The plan is advancing step by step, but the fate is still unknown.
