Chapter 54 [New] In Love
Chapter 54 [New] In Love
The thunder has died down, and all the wrath of the heavens has turned into torrential rain.The candles in the room were completely dark, her white clothes were stained with blood and she fell in a pool of blood, the dagger at the heart was completely gone and only a handle remained.
Ye Gucheng was in a state of confusion.
Holding the person in his arms with both hands, he has no time to care about the sword that has left his hand on the ground beside him, and he has no time to care about himself who has always been clean because other people's clothes are stained with blood.Ye Gucheng straightened the corners of his lips, maintained the few restraints and calmness in his body, and first reached out to check her breath and pulse on the side of her neck.The faint surviving breath gave Ye Gucheng a place to rest his heart hanging on the cliff, but his face was still ugly.
There were tears in the corner of Xie Wan's eyes, Ye Gucheng raised his hand to wipe them away, and then tore off a large piece of the fabric from his sleeve to block her bleeding wound.
Looking at the dagger stuck in Xie Wan's heart again, Ye Gucheng lowered his eyes, and the shadows of his eyelashes separated the anger and coldness in his eyes into countless pieces.When he picked up Xie Wan, he glanced at the gloomy sky outside the door.
It wasn't until she was stabbed in the heart that Xie Wan realized that it was not a good feeling.She didn't dissipate in the end like the other three people who were stabbed by her, but she could feel the feeling of the system being pulled out of her body.Sickness goes away like spinning silk, but Xie Wan is not sick, and she would rather not get better.
She was sleepy and a little tired.A stab in the heart can make her sleep well.The emotions that had been accumulated in my heart for a long time washed away like a flood at this moment.The law of heaven is ruthless, and the struggle of mortals is like a struggle between trapped beasts. Whether it is breaking free from fate or sticking to fate, it is insignificant in the eyes of the gods.
Thinking about it this way, Xie Wan felt that everything she had been doing was meaningless.
For several years in the world, from the moment she set foot, she struggled and rolled, ups and downs in the world of mortals, stained with love and hatred, and the years did not change her appearance, so this carving knife was engraved on her heart.What Xie Wan was like in the past, she only remembers what Xie Wan is like now.She met so many people, it was an elaborate plan from the meeting, she did it tremblingly, lived carefully, planned ahead and looked at the three things one step at a time, some things that happened to them were just an understatement to the God of God, Xie Wan also As a human being, how could she not know that the "destiny" she upholds will frustrate the spine of these heavenly favored children.In the past, when I dreamed at midnight, I sometimes felt guilty, but there was always a so-called righteousness and reason, but now the systemic words broke the cognition that Xie Wan had established in his heart all along.
In fact, it's not that she didn't notice something strange, it's just that when one walks with a burden on one's shoulders, one must always have some thoughts and persistence in her heart.The system wants to preserve Xie Wan, so it can only tell the truth in the most straightforward way in a short time.The system believes that its host can afford it and put it down, but with a mortal body, it takes time for any wound to heal.
Xie Wan didn't blame the system, it was all involuntary, it could still think of her and miss her, and came back specially to save her, Xie Wan was very contented.
only--
Tong'er is back home, so where is her home...
In a drowsy dream, Xie Wan saw the rustling snow on the mountains.Thousands of years of frost and snow, the pure white flowers under the ice will break out of the ice one day, blooming in the mountain cliffs, with a cold fragrance.
This rainy night is destined to be uneasy for the people in the City Lord's Mansion.The candles in the house were lit all night, and Nianwu led the guards of the city lord's mansion to patrol the mansion closely. The maid in Ye Gucheng's room came in and out several times, bringing out every basin of bloody water and boiling new boiled water.He stayed up all night for embarrassing Dr. Wang, and Ye Gucheng stayed in the outer room with his lips tightly pursed and his eyes darkened until dawn.
The city lord's mansion broke into the assassins, and girl Awan was seriously injured and died on the verge of death.This was Ye Gucheng's answer to Twenty-Five and Uncle Ye. No one doubted that Ye Gucheng would lie, and the entire Baiyun City was heavily guarded, except Doctor Wang who personally saw Xie Wan's wound.There is still a difference between self-inflicted wounds and others-inflicted wounds.
Doctor Wang took the handkerchief from the handmaiden and wiped his sweat, went to the outer room and said to Ye Gucheng, "It's all right, the knife wound was in the heart, fortunately the stab was not deep, but it's still life hanging by a thread. Fortunately, the city lord found out in time. As for Miss Awan when she will wake up...it depends on her."
Would a person who chose to commit suicide really want to wake up?
Doctor Wang knew the truth, and also knew Ye Gucheng's excuses to the outside world, but now he can only speak vaguely in front of people.After seeing the city lord's dull response, Doctor Wang sighed inwardly.The word love is really tormenting.
Ye Gucheng responded, and then said, "Where is that dagger?"
Immediately a maid brought it up, the dagger was still stained with Xie Wan's blood, Dr. Wang took a lot of effort to pull out the dagger for her just now, and then the dagger was put aside on the iron plate.Ye Gucheng washed it in the water basin, wiped it dry with a cloth, and after careful inspection, he recognized that it seemed to be the dagger that Xie Wan stabbed Chu Liuxiang at that time.
She used this dagger to make a person disappear from this world, so what about using it on herself?
When people come from outside the world, do they rely on this to go back?
He just didn't want her to do so.
Seeing Ye Gucheng staring at the dagger in his hand with a sullen expression, the people in the same room held their breaths and dared not take a loud breath.
Ye Gucheng put away the dagger, and then said to Doctor Wang: "I will keep my mouth shut about tonight."
Doctor Wang knew what he was talking about, so he responded repeatedly.
Three days later, under the increasingly oppressive atmosphere in the City Lord's Mansion, Xie Wan finally woke up.
When Ye Gucheng got the news, he rushed to her side immediately.
The situation was urgent when the knife was stabbed, and Xie Wan herself was half involuntary, and she never thought of covering up her actions. She just woke up and heard the two maids beside her chattering with her, only then did she know that Ye Gucheng was fighting for her all over the world. The mansion had told such a big lie, and seeing Ye Gucheng again, Xie Wan's originally mixed feelings turned into guilt and full of emotion.
His kindness did not happen overnight, but every time Xie Wan felt it, his heart was still agitated.
Ye Gucheng stared at the person on the bed, furrowed his brows and then loosened them. After repeating several times, his tone of voice remained the same as usual.
"...Just wake up."
Xie Wan touched her wound, and immediately hissed in pain. At the same time, Ye Gucheng grabbed her hand and scolded in a low voice: "Nonsense."
Xie Wan had seen Ye Gucheng's cold face several times, but the other party had never lost his temper with her. For a while, Xie Wan was a little frightened, and stared blankly at Ye Gucheng for a while.The pain of the wound was very real, but Xie Wan also knew that the stabbing would only strip the system from her body, and it would not really kill her, but the wound was so critical that she survived miraculously, as the person involved, Xie Wan also Can't help but confirm it.
Because of the pain, I feel more and more alive.
Yes, she is still alive, and she will continue to live well from now on.
Ye Gucheng was also looking at Xie Wan.
In the past few days when she was in a coma, she lost weight all of a sudden. From Ye Gucheng's point of view, Xie Wan's chin was already too thin.Ye Gucheng was angry and annoyed.How could Ye Gucheng not be angry if she didn't love herself so much for her parents, who were under the influence of her body, hair and skin.In front of Xie Wan, his concern might seem to be in the way, which is ridiculous.
Xie Wan just woke up, just when she was mentally exhausted, but she looked at Ye Gucheng's face, and knew that Ye Gucheng must have misunderstood something, Xie Wan wanted to explain clearly to him frankly.
"I was wrong, I just couldn't help touching it..."
Touched?Or do you regret not being able to go back?
Ye Gucheng's eyes gradually darkened.
Xie Wan opened her mouth, her throat was dry just after waking up, and she hesitated for a while, she had to organize her words for a while before continuing to explain to Ye Gucheng.
"Ye Gucheng, I..."
But Ye Gucheng stopped her words: "Take good care of your injuries first, and we'll talk about the rest later."
There was nothing wrong with this sentence, but Xie Wan watched Ye Gucheng's expression change.She could feel that Ye Gucheng was angry, and very angry.
While Xie Wan was recuperating, the summer solstice officially passed.Baiyun City, located in the South China Sea, became hot early, and even the sea breeze couldn't stop the heat.Poor Xie Wan was injured and couldn't get out at all.In the past, when Xie Wan was injured with the system by her side, the system would always help her speed up the wound healing within the range her body could bear, so that now Xie Wan felt that the time to recuperate was extremely difficult.
During this time, Ye Gucheng always avoided her.
Obviously, Ye Gucheng was really angry.
Seeing Xie Wan moaning and sighing all day long, the maids serving her were not feeling too well, and they all comforted her: "Miss, don't think too much, your food and clothing expenses, including your injuries, are all taken care of by the city lord himself, and the assassin who killed you has not yet been found. The city lord should be busy with this matter recently."
The people below didn't dare to try to figure out what the master meant, and the maids could only say so much.Xie Wan accepted their kindness, and said with a bit of bitter smile helplessly: "I know he is good, so I didn't blame him."
Twenty-five guarded the door of Ye Gucheng's study room, and felt that the relationship between the city lord and Miss Awan was quite familiar. The city lord's expression of concern but unwillingness to show it was exactly the same as when he just rescued Miss Awan from the sea. .The assassin hadn't been caught yet, and Nianwu knew that Ye Gucheng, as the lord of Baiyun City, must be very furious.If they didn't know that the city lord still cares about Miss Awan, they might think that the city lord is angry with Miss Awan.
Nianwu didn't know that Ye Gucheng would occasionally go to Xie Wan's room to see her once or twice in the middle of the night.Xie Wan herself, because of the exhaustion caused by the wound on her body and the sleeping ingredients added to the daily medicine, did not know that Ye Gucheng had stood beside her bed and looked at her sleeping face quietly.
After a while, Xie Wan was allowed to go to the fields by Doctor Wang.
Doctor Wang is a very strict and quiet person. Although he knows the truth, he has never mentioned it in front of Xie Wan.It's just that when I look at Xie Wan's face for follow-up consultations, the old man who has already imagined all kinds of sadomasochistic love scenes will inevitably show on his face.After more times, Xie Wan, who was already very keen in this regard, naturally noticed it, and she immediately understood that Ye Gucheng was really angry.
"I trouble you to come here every time." Xie Wan thanked.
Doctor Wang waved his hand, what's the matter, as long as the little girl gets better sooner.
"By the way, Doctor Wang, since I can get out of bed and walk around, it doesn't matter if I do something on hand, right?"
On this day, Ye Gucheng, who had lunch alone, took his son to the open space in the mansion to teach him how to practice sword.The scorching sun was on his head, and the prince held up his sword and repeated simple sword moves. After a while, sweat oozes from his forehead and nose tip, but the master's gaze glanced over, and the prince of Nan Wang felt that his sweat that hadn't dried out was still in place It froze into ice beads.This double sky of ice and fire can be described as quite difficult.
The son regretted worshiping Ye Gucheng as his teacher very much, really.
A few days ago, Master's beloved girl was injured, so he first suffered for the assassin.
Ye Gucheng taught the prince for a quarter of an hour, and then he practiced his sword in another open space next to him, and the sword style he created was like a literary master's ink and ink when he made the sword.Over there, Prince Nan's entire back was soaked, and Ye Gucheng's sword posture was still extremely refreshing.
When the son saw Xie Wan under the eaves, he called "Master Niang" as if he had been pardoned, and it was the first time he was so willing.
"Mistress!"
Xie Wan's eyelids twitched, but from the corner of his eye, he saw Ye Gucheng's figure paused and turned around, swallowing the words he wanted to correct.
Ye Gucheng put away his sword and walked directly to the eaves: "Ah Wan, why are you here?"
Although he was still a little angry in his heart, Ye Gucheng saw that Xie Wan came to look for him in person, his heart softened and he was happy, and he was also concerned about her injury.Earlier, when Dr. Wang said that Xie Wan could go out and walk around, Ye Gucheng had naturally heard it, but there was always a feeling that made him worry.
With a smile in Xie Wan's eyes, she lifted the food box in her hand up to show Ye Gucheng.
"I made sugar water myself. It's so hot in summer afternoons. Drink some sugar water to quench your thirst."
What better way to express your sincerity than something you made with your own hands.
City Lord Baiyun didn't lack anything, and Xie Wan only thought of this way to express her gratitude.
Ye Gucheng paused, and found that no one told him that Xie Wan had been in the kitchen. Apparently, Uncle Ye and the others had the same intention to hide it for Xie Wan, and wanted to give Ye Gucheng a "surprise".
After staring at her for a while, Ye Gucheng took the food box and said lightly: "There is no need to do it specially."
Xie Wan responded with a smile: "Because I want to do it for you."
City Lord Baiyun didn't speak any more, and walked slowly to the nearest octagonal pavilion with the food box in hand, and brought out the porcelain bowl in the food box that hadn't spilled any sugar water.The prince consciously didn't join in. After all, there must be no sugar water prepared for him in the food box, so he might as well ask the back kitchen of the city lord's mansion to make another.
Xie Wan watched Ye Gucheng scoop a spoonful, and raised her chin with anticipation in her tone: "I haven't cooked much, otherwise I wanted to cook a table for you. Only this bowl of sugar water is a bit shabby, but I I learned it seriously in the kitchen just now. Do you think it tastes good?"
"Sweeter."
Hearing this, Xie Wan was taken aback: "Is it sweet? I tasted it just now and thought it was okay... You can't eat sweet, I'd better ask Uncle Ye to bring another bowl. There is also syrup made by the cook in the kitchen."
"No need, this bowl is fine." Ye Gucheng drank it slowly, spoonful by spoonful.
After drinking, Ye Gucheng put the bowl back into the food box.
Xie Wan smiled slyly.
"Since I drank the sugar water I made with my own hands, then the city lord will not be angry with me."
Ye Gucheng sneered, and glanced at Xie Wan.
"Smart words, what you say is sweeter than sugar water."
Xie Wan choked, she found that sometimes Ye Gucheng's words were so straightforward that it made people... feel ashamed.
"Don't want me to be angry, answer my words honestly."
