Inside the room, a few maidservants were busy. Not far away, behind the glass curtain was a large mahogany bed with carved flowers. The apricot colored gauze curtain on the bed covered the entire bed, and the figure of the person on the bed could be vaguely seen.
When the busy maidservants saw Lan Yue, they hurriedly bowed to her. Lan Yue raised her hand slightly and sent the maidservants away. She took a few deep breaths before slowly walking towards the big bed. She carefully opened the gauze curtain.
Inside the muslin tent, Xie Yunchen's eyes were tightly shut. His already pale face had turned even paler. Even his usually blood-colored lips had turned completely bloodless. He was currently wearing a white inner robe and a silk blanket. He lay there motionless, as if he was dead.
"Xie Yunchen." Lan Yue called out carefully.
Xie Yunchen's eyes were still closed, as if he did not hear Lan Yue calling him.
" Xie Yun Chen…You…Don't scare me…You…Don't die…I…You…" Lan Yue spoke incoherently,""If you want to kill me, I won't stop you. Get up first. Get up and write the divorce letter for me…"
She was a little flustered. Although she was mentally prepared, she was still shocked when she saw Xie Yunchen like this. She stretched out her hand to shake Xie Yunchen who was lying on the bed awake. Just as she touched Xie Yunchen on the bed, a wave of dizziness struck her and she fainted.
Just as Lan Yue fainted, the man who had his eyes closed suddenly opened them. He turned his head to look at Lan Yue, and his expression revealed some confusion and confusion.
He looked at Lan Yue hesitantly. After a while, as if he had made a big decision, he reached out and helped Lan Yue to the bed. Then, he quickly moved into the bed, as if he was very afraid of Lan Yue.
Although he did not know why this woman would suddenly appear here and faint in front of him, he could not allow her to faint beside him based on her identity. Therefore, he could only offend her and pretend that she was sleeping beside him.
If Lan Yue was still conscious at this moment, she would have noticed that the person in front of her was different from Xie Yunchen. Although he looked exactly the same as Xie Yunchen, it was very difficult to change the things that came from one's body. He did not have the indifferent and noble aura that Xie Yunchen had. Although he imitated Xie Yunchen very much, this could not change the fact that he was not him.
He was only a shadow, a shadow that belonged only to Xie Yunchen. His existence was for Xie Yunchen!
He had never done anything to his face. He had always looked like this since he was young. Even Xie Yunchen was stunned when he saw him for the first time because they looked the same. If they did not live in different places and had a certain age difference, he would have thought that Xie Yunchen was his brother.
Sometimes, he had no choice but to believe in fate. If it wasn't for the Great Khan that year, the people would not have been able to make a living. He would not have been saved by Xie Yunchen when he was about to starve to death. If it wasn't for the Great Khan, Xie Yunchen would not have personally observed the people's feelings and naturally would not have saved him when he was about to starve to death!
In the unseen world, their fates had long been decided. He was willing to become Xie Yunchen's shadow and willingly work for him because he had saved his life, because his arrival had saved the entire village!
Lan Yue woke up two days later. When she opened her eyes, she saw a devilish face. At this moment, he was supporting his head with one hand and leaning sideways. His moon-white robe was slightly pulled down. His eyes were closed, and his curly eyelashes cast a shadow under the sunlight. His long, ink-like hair was scattered to the side.
Lan Yue looked at Xie Yunchen in a daze, even forgetting to think about the current situation.
"You're awake? Are you hungry?" Xie Yunchen slowly opened his eyes and looked at the dazed Lan Yue.
He thought that she was just in a hurry to go back and ask for a divorce certificate from him, but he didn't expect her to be so anxious. She actually ran back to the Prince's mansion and even fainted beside his shadow!
If it wasn't for the fact that she had recovered from her injuries, he definitely wouldn't have brought her to his side. Even he himself didn't know why he felt pity for her. Didn't he already want to watch the show before telling her the news that he was in danger? Why did he feel like he couldn't watch the show anymore when he saw her like this?
"You…didn't you get assassinated? Aren't you injured? " How could this be…How could this be…" Lan Yue sat up abruptly. Perhaps it was because she had gotten up too abruptly, but she felt a little dizzy for a moment. She held her head and only looked at Xie Yunchen after a long time.
"Get up slowly. You've been unconscious for two days, so you shouldn't move too much!”Xie Yunchen did not answer Lan Yue's question. Instead, he slowly stood up and brought the porridge that he had prepared in front of Lan Yue."Eat. We'll talk about other things when you're full!”
"Why do I have to eat porridge every time I'm with you?”Lan Yue looked at the porridge in Xie Yunchen's hand and asked without thinking.
"So much nonsense!" When Xie Yunchen saw Lan Yue asking such a question, he could not help but raise his eyebrows. He reached out and pulled Lan Yue into his arms. He picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful before feeding her mouth.
Lan Yue turned her head and looked at Xie Yunchen in confusion. At this moment, she did not seem to have fully woken up.
"Why are you looking at me? Turn around, open your mouth, and eat!" Xie Yunchen spoke very indifferently. At this moment, he really wanted to pry open this little girl's brain and see what was inside.
"Oh." Lan Yue obediently turned her head to the side and allowed Xie Yunchen to feed her the porridge in his hand.
In just a moment, the bowl of warm porridge was empty. Xie Yunchen placed the bowl in his hand to the side and did not let Lan Yue leave his arms."Do you really want this king to divorce you?”He still had that indifferent expression, but there was a hint of coldness in his voice.
"You heard everything?" Lan Yue swallowed her saliva and looked a little unnatural." How did you hear that? That day, he was lying there as if he was dead..." She lowered her head and whispered.
She felt very guilty. She had only said that she would get up and divorce her before she died. She did not expect him to hear it. Moreover, she had only kept quiet because she was anxious.
"Who do you think is not much different from being dead?”Xie Yunchen wrapped one arm around Lan Yue's waist and pinched her chin. He asked softly, his voice filled with charm,"You're looking forward to your husband's death, do you have a lover outside?”
Lan Yue's face instantly turned red. She even forgot to think. She only wanted to break free from Xie Yunchen's embrace as soon as possible. However, just as she was about to get up, she was pressed back by Xie Yunchen.
"Can you let go of me? We can talk things out. You…Didn't you get assassinated? Where was he injured? Why are you…fine after I sleep?”Lan Yue felt as if there were thousands of little deers in her heart, making her feel uncomfortable. She did not even hear the second half of Xie Yunchen's words.
Xie Yunchen saw that Lan Yue did not answer his second question directly. His expression could not help but darken a little. He actually felt a little depressed."Let you go? So you can go find your lover? Do you care if this king is injured?"
Although he didn't want to believe that Lan Yue was asking him for a divorce certificate, she didn't answer him directly, did she? Her silence was a sign that she had silently accepted this fact.
Why didn't he think of this before? Perhaps he was overconfident in himself. He was just a sickly person. He forcefully married her to keep her by his side. From the beginning, she had no place in her heart. That was why she wanted him to die and divorce her!
Although the only tie between him and Lan Yue was because of the marriage contract, it did not mean that he did not care about Lan Yue betraying him. This was related to a man's dignity. If a man could not even control the woman he married, how could he talk about anything else?
Even if there was someone else in her heart, he wanted to get rid of that person in her heart! As long as she, Lan Yue, was still Xie Yunchen's wife, she would never have another man in her heart!
When Lan Yue heard Xie Yunchen's words, she could not help but be a little stunned. Since when did she have a lover? Her astonishment did not only last for a moment. After all, she was most worried about Xie Yunchen's body.
"What lover? " Of course I'm worried about you…" An unknown light flashed in Lan Yue's eyes as if she was avoiding something. Then, she said unnaturally,""You…don't, don't misunderstand, I…I'm worried about you because…because if you die, I'll become a widow…I've only been married to you for a few months and I'm already a widow, isn't that too much of a loss! You…Are you…Are you alright? What's with the rumors that you won't live for more than a few days?”
She still asked the question in her heart. She dared to confirm that the pale Xie Yun Chen she saw that day was real. Although she did not know how he had become completely fine overnight, she was still very worried about him. At this moment, when she thought of his lifeless appearance, she still felt a lingering fear.
As Xie Yunchen's back was facing Lan Yue, he did not see Lan Yue's bashful expression and that little worry. He placed his chin on Lan Yue's head and let go of the hand that was pinching her chin. His arms wrapped tightly around her waist, not allowing her to have a chance to escape from his embrace."Do you feel like you're at a disadvantage because you haven't received this king's favor? In that case, how about consummating your marriage with this king today?”
Lan Yue was obviously shocked by Xie Yunchen. She subconsciously wanted to escape from Xie Yunchen's embrace, but the more she wanted to escape, the tighter Xie Yunchen's arms became."Who…who would say that I feel like I'm at a disadvantage because of this! You…Don't do anything rash!"
" Regardless of whether you are truly worried or not, I am still very pleased to hear your question. I am fine. The person you saw that day was not me…" For some reason, Xie Yunchen still told her that he was not injured. However, he did not tell her that he had secretly plotted against Prince Ning. He only said that he had pretended to be stabbed by the assassin in order to make the mastermind behind the assassin feel at ease.
