Shi En almost lay on the ground with his whole body:

"Na Domi and Tu Yu have coveted Xizhou for a long time. A few months ago, His Royal Highness decided to marry Nan Yan and Duo Mi to break up Tu Yu's situation. However, last month, Tu Yu led troops to attack Xi Zhou..."

"what?!"

Shi En shivered suddenly: "His Royal Highness wants to preserve Xizhou, but after all, he didn't take over the ownership... There are many veterans who oppose it. They think that Xizhou is just a subsidiary land, and it is better to reap the benefits of the fisherman. His Highness has been dealing with it recently. Among the old and new ministers, he did his best to overcome criticism and sent troops to protect Xizhou, but he...but he also suffered from overwork and relapsed from his old illness..."

Shi En kowtowed heavily: "Crown Princess...Princess Concubine, please recite your highness' painstaking efforts to make up for it, just go and have a look... Just one look!"

Yong Niang stood aside silently, seeing my unsteady footsteps, she quickly supported me and called out in a low voice: "Crown Princess..."

I held Yong Niang's hand tightly:

"I... I'm going to see him."

When Shi En closed the door, I could smell the smell of medicine in the room that had overwhelmed the scent of the incense burner.

I walked to his bed and opened the thin curtain, Li Cheng Yin was lying on the bed quietly, it was still the same as last time I saw him, his hands and feet were neat, but his face was like gold paper and his cheeks were deeply sunken.

I help him cover up the quilt, and look at Yong Niang who is silently standing aside:

"Li Chengyin's old illness...what's going on? I've never heard of it before."

Yong Niang squatted in front of me, stretched out her hand to hold down my overlapping fingers, and said softly: "Crown Princess... this is all over. Back then..."

They all knew what happened back then, only I didn't.

I stood on the city wall and said to the dusty Li Chengyin:

"Like you always forget, how good it is."

"This time, I really want to forget."

I jumped down resolutely, just like I jumped into Wangchuan, without any hesitation.

I closed my eyes and listened to the wind in my ears.

A'Du caught me, she died under me, she wanted me to go back alive.

I was devastated and plunged into darkness, I didn't see Li Chengyin on the city wall, his neck was bursting with veins, his face was purple, and I didn't see the despair in his eyes, he raised his head and spurted blood.

Yong Niang said that when he carried me back, he cried and laughed like crazy.

He smiled and said to Pei Zhao, "She didn't die...it's good...I finally... finally caught up."

But he cried again: "Why won't she wake up? Is she... Is she afraid of seeing me? I can hide... I can hide from her."

Pei Zhao supported him vigorously, fearing that he would fall to the ground if he pulled out his hand.

He hugged Pei Zhao's arm: "Pei Zhao... I was still wrong..."

Li Chengyin once refused to take medicine for recuperation, and just stayed by my bedside. Whenever there was a slight disturbance, he immediately got up and hid behind the curtain. He said: "If Xiaofeng wakes up and sees me, she will definitely try her best to leave again. I."

Yong Niang persuaded him: "If His Highness the Crown Prince falls, who else will protect the Crown Princess in this palace?"

Li Cheng Yin looked at her with wide eyes, and nodded desperately: "Yes, yes... I want to live, only I can protect her in this world..."

He guarded me like this for four days, and on the fourth day I made a move, Li Cheng Yin pulled Pei Zhao excitedly and fearfully:

"She's about to wake up... Ah Zhao, did you see it just now?"

Pei Zhao followed him and nodded, Li Chengyin suddenly let go of him, shook his head and said: "No...if...if she wakes up...she wants to go back to Xizhou again, and she doesn't want me...what should I do?"

He pressed Pei Zhao's shoulder: "Azhao... I know I may still be doing something wrong, but, but I just want to try once... just once... forget everything forever as she wishes, you say...you say it's okay?"

Pei Zhao lowered his head, looked at Li Chengyin showing such a frightened expression, and looked at me who was still unconscious on the bed, not daring to give an answer.

He finally chose to let me forget.

I remember that when I woke up, it was just dawn, the lights in the room were flickering, his shadow was cast on the gauze curtain, and his silhouette was blurred and shaking.

I slowly turned my head to the side and saw a strange man lying beside me. I was so frightened that I quickly got up and couldn't even scream.

He looked at me and whispered, "Xiao... Feng...?"

I curled up on the edge of the bed, tilted my head and judged him for a long time, and then asked politely: "You... who are you?"

He smiled, stretched out his frown that was still tightly frowned just now, and stretched out his hand to me:

"I am your husband, my name is Li Chengyin."

Li Chengyin...

Something fell from my eyes, one drop after another, and it hit the palm of my hand and got wet.

I murmured: "Yong Niang...you said...why does he have so many injuries?"

Yong Niang bowed her head not knowing how to answer.

I smiled and shook my head, asking myself and answering: "It turns out...it's all my part. But...he obviously pushed me to hell with his own hands, and dragged me back with his own hands. How can it be said that making up for the blood of life between each other can be made up?"

I looked at my clean hands in front of me: "He just gave him a heart and tried to erase everything. He is so ridiculous..."

Yong Niang wiped the corners of her eyes: "Crown Princess..."

I raised my hand to interrupt her, looked at the same tears in her eyes as mine, and pressed my lips tightly to hold back for a long time, but I still couldn't hold back.

I threw myself into her arms, crying tremblingly:

"I'm even more ridiculous, Yong Niang...I forgave him, I can't hate him! I'm even more ridiculous..."

Yong Niang hugged me, and listened to my wail, loud and small, like the wind blowing outside the window, piercing the listener's heart with chills.

After calming down a bit, I took a handkerchief and wiped off the tear stains on my neckline, threw it into a basin filled with clear water, and watched it gradually submerge in the water of memory.

Yong Niang stepped back with the basin in hand, I smoothed the corners of the quilt for Li Cheng Yin, just like what he often does to me.

I touched the slightly whitish pinch of his temples, and said in a low voice:

"Why do you torture yourself...? You just pointed at me to feel sorry for you. You said you didn't want me to know, but I still know it. It hurts a thousand times more than telling me directly..."

I rubbed his cold fingers: "You can't threaten me, whether you die or not, I will leave, Li Chengyin..."

I looked at his fingers that were rubbed red by me, and muttered, "Hurry up and wake up, if you don't wake up, I'm leaving, and you will never be able to stop me..."

While thinking about it, I lay down beside his bed and fell into a dream in a daze.

There is me in the dream, there is Gu Xiaowu...or Li Chengyin.

He was wearing Xizhou clothes, at the bottom of a cave full of sharp knives, looked up at me, and stretched out his hand:

"Xiaofeng, pull me up, only you can pull me up."

I stretched out my hand without hesitation, and after interlocking my fingers, I felt his lingering temperature and pulled him tightly.

He was dragged up by me bit by bit, and at the moment when his feet were about to leave the hole, I suddenly lost strength and watched him fall into the hole again, with a sharp knife glowing coldly beneath him...

"Li Chengyin!" I shouted out, the pain in my arm pulled me back to reality.

I took a big mouthful of breath, and suddenly heard the people around me seem to be talking in their dreams:

"Xiaofeng...Xiaofeng...don't jump...don't...I'll go find you...Xiaofeng...Xiaofeng!!"

He opened his eyes suddenly, in the darkness, there was a glimmer of light in those eyes.

I lay down in front of him, reached out and took his:

"I'm here."

He frowned and looked at me for a long time, so long that I thought he had also drank Wangchuan water. It was not until he held my face with both hands that I felt a sense of reality.

I was just about to cover his hand, but he had a painful expression on his face. He pushed me away and lay down beside the bed, spitting out blood in one gulp!

My mind went blank for a moment, and I subconsciously shouted: "Imperial doctor! Imperial doctor!"

The imperial physician who was guarding the door immediately pushed open the door and ran in, and the servants who followed him lit the candles in the room.

The room lit up instantly, Li Chengyin was covered in blood, the glaring red around his mouth made me unable to move a step, my heart seemed to be grabbed by sharp claws, the pain was so painful that I couldn't breathe.

The maidservants quickly wiped the blood on the ground, skillfully and orderly as usual.

Countless thoughts came to mind.

Fear, guilt, and even faint thoughts of accompanying him to death, I just stood in front of him and watched him lying on his side on the bed, just like I have seen people who are about to die, fingertips faintly trembling, breathing so weak that I can see No ups and downs.

The palace servant was about to wipe him with a clean towel, but I finally regained my composure and stretched out my hand, "Let me do it."

I half-kneeled in front of him, under the bright light he finally saw me clearly, with tears in his eyes:

"Xiaofeng...you're not dead..."

I nodded: "Yes, I am alive."

Li Chengyin also nodded, and touched my face with his hands, those hands seemed to be dead, gray and cold into my heart.

He looked at me carefully and murmured:

"Xiaofeng...I beg you not to jump, okay? Don't jump on Wangchuan or the city wall...I just hope you can look at me...even...even if I'm far inferior to Gu Xiaowu in your heart..."

His memory seems to be all messed up, including his words are also confused:

"I know you don't like me, it's okay... I can wait until you forget about Gu Xiaowu and Gu Jian... It doesn't matter if you hate me, as long as you live... just live..."

I pursed my lips tightly, biting my lower lip, his hands were weak, and his tone was pleading:

"As long as you don't die... you can do whatever you want..." As he spoke, he tilted his body and spit out blood again.

I stared blankly at the deep red blood stains on my clothes, and heard my trembling voice:

"Li Chengyin..."

Li Chengyin didn't answer me, he closed his eyes and fell into a new round of coma.

The imperial doctor knelt aside: "Crown Princess...Princess Concubine, don't panic. Your Highness has been doing this repeatedly for the past two days. Now that you have spoken in a sentence, there is a big turning point..."

I slumped on the ground, watching others wipe his body stupidly, the strength in my hands was getting stronger, and my fists were trembling.

Yong Niang sat kneeling behind me, I felt a warmth on my back, it was like the last hope for my body that had almost fallen into the ice cave.

I turned around and asked Yong Niang incoherently:

"Li Chengyin... Li Chengyin is fine, right?"

Yong Niang's hand slid across my back, she said softly: "Your Highness will be fine..."

I hugged her arm, my lips could not stop murmuring, big drops of tears gathered on my chin:

"Yong Niang...he must be fine...the imperial physician said he was fine..."

Yong Niang nodded vigorously.

I couldn't control myself anymore, like an orphaned beast, I fell into her arms and cried bitterly...

The night was too noisy, with busy footsteps and murmured conversations.

I didn't dare to rest by his side until everything was arranged properly.

I don't know how long it has passed, I was exhausted physically and mentally, I suddenly felt a little movement, I got up instinctively and called out: "Li Chengyin..."

The sun suddenly broke into my eyes, I squinted and slowly adapted, blocking the glare of the sun with one hand.

I looked down that hand and met a pair of gentle smiling eyes.

Li Chengyin's complexion was pale but he seemed energetic, seeing me open his eyes, he slowly put down his hands.

The sun returned to my face, warm and clean.

Also integrated into his smile.

他 说:

"Xiaofeng, I'm awake."
