In the Yingxi Pavilion, Chu Yunxuan paced back and forth. He looked at the inner room, then looked out of the window. He sat down and stood up again. His face was full of anxiety.
Chu Xia Yi, who was standing at the side, saw that the usually carefree and unruly him was so flustered and could not help but say,"Third brother, sit down. The imperial physician is treating Xiu-er. Xiu-er had always been strong and young. She would be fine!”
Chu Yunxuan nodded reluctantly and sat down on the chair, but after a while, he stood up and paced back and forth, secretly regretting his decision.
Damn it! He knew that Xie Yong was a despicable and shameless villain. In order to achieve his goal, he would do anything. How could he be so careless and let Xiu-er be poisoned and injured?
Damn it, he really deserved to die! If she had known earlier, she would have cut him down with her saber, so that Xiu-er wouldn't have been poisoned and injured. But what was the use of thinking about this now? Xiu 'er…His cutest, lively, and brave little Xiu' er was lying on the bed, and he…he couldn't help her at all. He could only stay here and worry.
Damn it! He had promised Nanny that he would take care of her and protect her for the rest of his life. If anything happened to Xiu-er, how could he face Nanny, his elder sister, and Xiu-er, who had always believed in him and was eager to save him?
Chu Yunxuan couldn't wait any longer. He turned around and wanted to go into the inner room to check on Yun Xiuyi.
At this moment, the imperial physician came out. Chu Yunxuan and Chu Xiayi went forward at the same time.
"How is it?" Chu Yunxuan asked anxiously. What's wrong with Xiu 'er?"
The imperial physician first bowed to Chu Xiayi and then shook his head," Forgive me for my incompetence and being unable to save Miss Yun. Please punish me."”
Chu Xia Yi was stunned," How could that be? It was just an arrow. Was it that serious?”
"Your Majesty, you don't know. The most important thing now was to pull out the arrow that had been shot into Miss Yun's body. However, the arrow that had been shot into Miss Yun's body was poisoned, and it had hit her heart meridian at a close distance. If the arrow was pulled out forcefully, Miss Yun might not be able to hold on the spot. However, if you don't pull out the arrow, the poison on the arrow will continue to enter your body. After a long time, Miss Yun won't be able to hold on, so…so…"
"So what?" Chu Xia Yi asked anxiously.”
The imperial physician paused and looked at Chu Yunxuan and Chu Xiayi cautiously." Please prepare for your funeral as soon as possible, Your Majesty!"”
When Chu Yunxuan heard this, he was stunned as if he had been hit by a big stone. He was speechless for a long time.
Chu Xia Yi was also in disbelief," Third Brother, you…"
Chu Yunxuan stood rooted to the ground, his face blank. After a long time, he turned around and slowly came to the inner room. On the bed, the little one who had been laughing and laughing happily without a moment of silence was lying quietly. Her usually rosy face was now completely pale, and there was a sleeve arrow stuck in her chest. As her weak breathing rose and fell, it was a shocking sight and even more heartbreaking!
Chu Yunxuan squatted down in front of the bed and reached out to hold her cold little hand." Xiu 'er, Brother Yun is here with you. Don't be afraid. You must get through it. Brother Yun will find a way to save you, understand?" Xiu 'er, Xie Yong, who you want to kill the most, has been detained in the Supreme Court. He's waiting for you to get better and beat him to death. Besides, haven't you always missed Big Sister? Brother Han has already personally gone to Dunhuang to invite Big Sister over. You must hold on and get better. Otherwise, how sad will Big Sister be when she comes but can't see you? Also, you promised Brother Yun that you would go to the Matriarch Temple together and swear that you would give birth to a bunch of babies for Brother Yun. If you die, how will Brother Yun go to the Matriarch Temple alone to swear and give birth to babies? So you must hold on, you must hold on. Brother Yun will definitely find a way to save you. Xiu 'er, Xiu' er!"
Chu Yunxuan murmured in a low voice. Yun Xiuyi's breath was still so weak on the bed. If it wasn't for the slight rise and fall of her chest, people would have thought that she was dead.
Chu Yunxuan's eyes turned red. This girl had always been so healthy, lively, and full of courage. In order to see her elder sister, she had traveled thousands of miles with her nanny. In order to protect Nanny, he would rather make himself dirty and pretend to be a ghost to cheat money, and even endure Ma Wanqun's humiliation and beatings time and time again. Now, in order to save him, she had specially gone to Dugu Han to send troops. In the end, Dugu Han had come and saved him and Yuwen Ningyue, but what about herself?
"Xiu-er, Xiu-er!" Chu Yunxuan called out.”
Yun Xiuyi, who was on the bed, seemed to have heard him call her and made a slight sound." Brother Yun, Brother Yun."”
He quickly held her hand." Xiu 'er, I'm here."”
Yun Xiuyi panted, her voice weak and weak." Brother Yun, I…am going to die, right?”
Chu Yunxuan shook his head." No, Brother Yun won't let you die. You have to hang in there. Big Sister will be here from Dunhuang soon."”
" I…it hurts. I might not be able to wait until Sister Feng comes. Brother Yun, don't leave me…I don't want to be alone…I don't want to…I hate being alone the most…" Yun Xiuyi cried as she grabbed Chu Yunxuan's sleeve.
" You won't be alone. No matter where you go, no matter if you're alive or dead, Brother Yun won't let you be alone!" Brother Yun will take you back to Dunhuang now and bring you to see Big Sister. Then, he will ask the Vermilion Bird Maiden to marry us, okay?”With that, he picked up Yun Xiuyi and walked out.
Chu Xiayi stopped him at the door." Third Brother, what are you doing? Where are you taking her?"
"Back to Dunhuang," Chu Yunxuan said calmly.”
"But she's so badly injured that she can't afford to run around. Besides, didn't Big Sister already come here? Why didn't you wait?" Chu Xia Yi blocked the door and did not let them leave.
"I know, but I'm afraid that Xiu 'er won't be able to wait until big sister arrives, so I plan to take her on the road first. If we're lucky enough to meet big sister on the road, we can ask big sister to treat her on the way.”
"What if you didn't meet Big Sister?" Chu Xia Yi frowned.
" Then..." Chu Yunxuan looked down at Yun Xiuyi." I will take her back to Dunhuang directly and accompany her forever. I will never leave her."”
"But Third Brother…"
Chu Yunxuan ignored Chu Xiayi and carried Yun Xiuyi out.
Suddenly, a figure descended from the sky and stopped Chu Yunxuan." Don't be in a hurry to leave, let me try, okay?"”
" Nangong Wujiu?" Chu Yunxuan was stunned. Why are you here?"
"I've been following her. Leave her to me. How can I let her go all the way to find Brother Han?”
"I see. Then why are you here now?" Chu Yunxuan hugged Yun Xiuyi tightly.
"To save people, of course." Nangong Wujiu revealed a comforting smile.
"Save people? "You…" Chu Yunxuan's eyes flashed with hope.
"Although I'm not as good at detoxifying as your big sister, I still know a little about poisons. Moreover, I like this girl very much and can't bear to see her die like this, so let me try, okay?”
Chu Yunxuan hesitated. Although he didn't hate Nangong Wujiu as much as he used to, how could he just throw away the grudge in his heart?
Nangong Wujiu smiled at him and took Yun Xiuyi from his hands. He carried her back to the bed and prepared to detoxify and heal her.
Chu Yunxuan followed her in." How are you going to save her? The imperial physician said that the most important thing is to pull out the sleeve arrow first, but with her current physical condition, if she insists on pulling out the arrow, it will only kill her. But if she doesn't pull out the arrow…"
"If she didn't pull out the arrow, she would have died from the poison, right?”Nangong Wujiu frowned as he observed her wound.
Chu Yunxuan nodded reluctantly." That's right, so I want to know what you're going to do.”
"Of course, I'll pull out the arrow first."
"Draw the arrow?" Chu Yunxuan was shocked.
"Yes, since we're going to die anyway, why don't we give it a try first? Besides, we can't let this arrow stay stuck in her chest, right?”Nangong Wujiu gave him an encouraging smile.
" What if…" Chu Yunxuan looked at Yun Xiuyi worriedly.
Nangong Wujiu shook his head." There's no 'what if'. We can only buy some time and pull out the arrow as soon as possible to treat her. If we continue to hesitate, she really won't be able to be saved. Quick, come and help me!"
Chu Yunxuan stepped forward." How do you want me to help you?"”
"Hold her head and stuff her mouth with a handkerchief so that she won't bite herself because she can't stand the pain.”
"Alright." Chu Yunxuan quickly held Yun Xiuyi's head, tore off a piece of cloth from his body, and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Also, no matter what happens to her during the process, you can't be soft-hearted or flustered. You have to be steady and hold on, understand?”Nangong Wujiu reminded.
"I know. I'll stabilize myself. You can start now.”Chu Yunxuan took a deep breath.
Nangong Wujiu nodded. He pressed one hand on Yun Xiuyi's shoulder and gently pulled out the sleeve arrow with the other.
Yun Xiuyi's eyes widened at his action. Her whole body trembled and her head shook. She was crying because of the handkerchief in her mouth.”
Chu Yunxuan grabbed her shoulder and said loudly,""Xiu 'er, bear with it. Big Brother Nangong is helping you pull out the sleeve arrow.”
He nodded at Nangong Wujiu, and Nangong Wujiu continued to exert his strength.
This time, Yun Xiuyi's reaction was even more intense. She struggled and twisted non-stop. Her small face was twisted into a ball, and even the cloth stuffed in her mouth was removed."No, it hurts! Ah!"
Chu Yunxuan quickly hugged her." Xiu 'er, don't panic. Brother Yun is here. Just bear with it. It'll be fine in a while!"”
However, Yun Xiuyi still couldn't stand the pain. She kept struggling and twisting, gritting her teeth.
Seeing this, Chu Yunxuan quickly put his hand into her mouth for her to bite. Then he said to Nangong Wujiu,""Pull, pull out the arrow in one breath!”
"Yes!" Nangong Wujiu took a deep breath and pulled out the sleeve arrow that had penetrated deep into his internal organs.
At the same time, Yun Xiuyi couldn't help but scream in pain. She gritted her teeth and blood splattered all over her face. As for Chu Yunxuan, he grunted and clenched his teeth to hug her tightly. He didn't care if the black blood that spurted out of her body would dirty him or not. He just hugged her tightly and didn't dare to let go.
Finally, Nangong Wujiu said," Alright, the arrow has been pulled out. I'll help her apply the medicine first. Ask someone to get the medicine according to the prescription. After it's done, send it over immediately. Understand?"”
Chu Yunxuan put down Yun Xiuyi and took a deep breath. He immediately took the prescription and turned around to leave. He was ready to go to the Imperial Academy of Medicine to get the medicine.
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded." Nangong Wujiu, I forbid you from touching her! Get your hands off me!"
Chu Yunxuan was stunned. He saw a beautiful and elegant figure appear in front of him," Big…Big sister? You made it?"
It was Chu Fengyi, who had sworn the Three Ultimate Oaths to never leave the palace, never see Nangong Wujiu, and never show his true face to anyone.
Chu Fengyi took the prescription from Chu Yunxuan and tore it into pieces. Then she walked to the bedside and said coldly,""Do you think that Xiao Xiu is like those vulgar women who surround you all day long in the Fragrant Snow Sea and can touch you just because you want to?”
Nangong Wujiu raised his head and stared blankly at the woman in front of him. She was still as beautiful as before, wearing a veil and a white dress." You…I finally see you, I…"
Chu Fengyi turned around and said to Dugu Han, who had escorted her here, and Chu Yunxuan, who was stunned and didn't know what to say,""Yun Xuan, Brother Han, take this person out. I don't want to see him again!”
Nangong Wujiu stood up abruptly." Feng 'er, you can't do this. Let me explain..."
Chu Fengyi turned her back to him and said coldly,""I don't want to hear it. Get out! If you don't leave, then I'll leave!”
"Don't, don't go. You stay, I'll leave! You're the only one in the world who can cure Xiu-er's poison. If you leave, wouldn't I be harming her?”Nangong Wujiu said dejectedly. With a tap of his foot, his body moved slightly and he instantly disappeared.
Seeing Nangong Wujiu leave, Chu Fengyi trembled slightly. After a while, she took a deep breath and sat down on the edge of the bed." Yunxuan, Brother Han, the two of you wait outside. Xia 'er, help me treat Xiao Xiu's poison."”
"Yes, sir!" Everyone said in unison.
Chu Yunxuan paced around Dugu Han's imperial garden, admiring the scenery while adjusting his mood, which had not been relaxed since yesterday.
Judging from the layout of the garden, it was obvious that a lot of effort had been put into it. Unfortunately, several trees had been uprooted, and the Taihu Lake stones that had been transported from Taihu Lake had been smashed into pieces. He could guess that this must be Yun Xiuyi's masterpiece.
Thinking of Yun Xiuyi, his heart couldn't help but tighten. Now that the poisoned arrow had been pulled out and his big sister was here, his little Xiu 'er should be fine, right?
Suddenly, Yuwen Ningyue's gentle voice sounded," Yun Xuan, you're injured. Can you let me take a look?”
Chu Yunxuan was stunned. Yuwen Ningyue had already taken his hand and looked at it carefully. She took out a handkerchief and bandaged it for him." It must be very painful to bite so deeply, right?"”
He shook his head." It doesn't hurt. I don't care about the pain at all.”
"That's true. She's so seriously injured. How can you still care about whether you're in pain or not? How was she now? Are you alright now?" Yuwen Ningyue looked at Chu Yunxuan with concern.
"It should be fine. The arrow has been pulled out. Moreover, with my eldest sister here, it will definitely be fine.”
"Yun Xuan, you like her very much, don't you?”Yuwen Ningyue took a deep breath and asked.
"You like it? You mean Xiu 'er?"
"Yes, ever since she was injured, you've been absent-minded and look like you can't wait to bear the pain for her. I've never seen you like this in all the time I've known you, so I guess you must like her very much.”Yuwen Ningyue probed.
Chu Yunxuan smiled faintly." It's not just love, it's almost to the point where I don't know how to describe it."”
He paused for a moment and recalled how he met Yun Xiuyi. "Actually, at first, I couldn't help but have a good impression of her because she looked like Big Sister. However, when I got close to her, I realized that she and Big Sister were completely different people. Big Sister is like ice, always cold. Although she cares about us, she only gives in silence. As for Xiu 'er, she was completely different. She was like fire, passionate, pure, and bright. When she was happy, she would jump around. When she was unhappy, she would find someone to fight and vent. Whoever treated her well, she would treat them well with all her heart, even if she had to give up her life. Whoever did not treat her well, she would scold the other party's ancestors. He never lost heart when he encountered setbacks. He worked hard alone and desperately moved toward his goal. I really couldn't refuse her, let alone let her go.”
"So, you like her?”
"You can say that if you want. After all, I only just realized how important she is in my heart. I had even prepared for the worst. If she died just like that, I would bring her back to the Feng Palace and accompany her in the Feng Palace for the rest of her life, guarding her. I would never let her be lonely or take risks alone, and I would never let her run around and cry for me.”Chu Yunxuan said firmly.
Yuwen Ningyue let out a long sigh," I really envy her. She can have a man like you to love her and protect her. Unlike me…" She raised her head and looked at Chu Yunxuan," Yunxuan, if…I mean if, if I hadn't been bullied by Xie Yong, if I was still innocent, if we were still engaged, would you…would you accept me?"”
Chu Yunxuan shook his head.
Seeing him shake his head, Yuwen Ningyue's face turned pale," I…I knew you still cared about me and Xie Yong…"
Chu Yunxuan laughed," No, Ning Yue, you misunderstood!”
"Misunderstanding? "You…" Yuwen Ningyue didn't understand.
Chu Yunxuan reached out and held her shoulder." I never cared if you were innocent or not. To me, you're still you, the gentle, beautiful, considerate, and kind Ning Yue from before. You haven't changed."”
"But I asked Xie Yong to…"
"Ning Yue, you didn't want to do that. You don't need to take it to heart. Besides, so what if a woman had one or two men? Who said that a woman had to stay by a man's side for the rest of her life? What if she married a bad husband who didn't support her family and didn't love her wife? What should she do?”Chu Yunxuan comforted her.
Yuwen Ningyue didn't expect him to say this," You…you're saying that I can still get married, or can I…find my own happiness?”
"Of course, if there is a man who despises you because of Xie Yong, then you don't need to pay attention to this kind of man. The world is big, there must be beautiful grass, why bother about the past? Moreover, Xie Yong has already entered the Supreme Court and will be executed at any time. After he dies, do you still want to live with this kind of thought for the rest of your life?”
" But I…" She looked at Chu Yunxuan," Then…Can you…Can you…"
Chu Yunxuan shook his head this time." No, as the Nine Phoenix of Dunhuang, I can only love one woman in my life." If it weren't for Xiu 'er, I might have accepted you. But now that I've given my heart to Xiu' er, I naturally have no reason to delay you. Besides, we're not suitable for each other because our personalities are too similar. If two people who are too similar get together, they're destined to have no good ending.”
"But I…"
"No buts, you're a good woman, you should find a better man, a man who can love you wholeheartedly and take care of you. Forget about me and Xie Yong, okay?”Chu Yunxuan patted her shoulder and encouraged her.
Yuwen Ningyue looked at him reluctantly, and her tears could not help but fall." I…Yun Xuan!”As she spoke, she couldn't help but throw herself into Chu Yunxuan's arms and hug him tightly.
Chu Yunxuan was stunned at first, then he reached out to hug her," Cry! Cry out all the grievances, fears, resentment, and disappointments of the past. After crying, you will be a brand new, complete woman, a Yuwen Ning Yue who has started anew, huh?”
Yuwen Ningyue nodded and hugged him, sobbing.#
