" Hmm…" Hong Zhou slowly opened his eyes. When he saw the person standing in front of him, his red eyes were filled with surprise and confusion.
Hai Lan smiled at him. "Hongzhou, I'm back."
Hong Zhou stared at her for a while before standing up.
The strong dizziness made his body sway, and Ocean Blue quickly went forward to support him.
"Take your hands off me!" Hong Zhou glared at her.
"Hong Zhou?"
"Why did you come back?" Seeing that she was still holding onto him, Hong Zhou flung her hand away impatiently.
Hong Zhou's reaction was within Hai Lan's expectations, and she was anxious to explain everything to him. " Hongzhou, you misunderstood. Listen to me…"
"Shut up!"
Hong Zhou shouted angrily, and Hai Lan was so scared that she couldn't speak.
"I don't want to hear another word from you.”"Haven't you always wanted to leave me?" Hong Zhou asked hoarsely. Why did you come back? Do you pity me? Or do you pity me?"
" No…" Ocean Blue didn't know what to do.
"Right, I got it." Hong Zhou laughed.
He looked at her with a smile. "Your old lover must have abandoned you. He taught you to come back, right?”
"It's not like that…" Hai Lan cried out anxiously.
"Otherwise, you couldn't bear to give up the glory and wealth here and regretted it, so you came back, right?”
"No, no!" Hai Lan was so anxious that tears came out of her eyes."Do you have to think of me as that kind of woman? Aren't you happy that I'm back by your side? Why didn't you give me a chance to explain? Could it be that I really don't have any weight in your heart?”
Hong Zhou looked at her expressionlessly, then he burst out laughing."Haha, you finally said something right.”
He smiled at her. "That's right, you don't have any weight at all. In my eyes, you're even inferior to Qing `er. What about you? Fickle woman, if not for the fact that you still have value, I would have kicked you away long ago! I'll just treat it as throwing a pair of worn shoes to someone else. I won't take back what I've thrown away. Do you understand what I'm saying?”
"I understand." Ocean Blue muttered with her bloodless lips,""So I was wrong. Baylor Hongzhou, I'm sorry, I know what to do.”
Hai Lan raised her head and forced back the tears in her eyes before leaving without looking back.
"Fujin, where are you going?”The guard asked with concern when he saw Ocean Blue.
Hai Lan didn't seem to hear what the guard said. She walked past the guard and walked out of the mansion expressionlessly.
"Why is the Fujin ignoring us? She looks very strange!" a guard said.
"That's right! The Fujin had just returned. Why did he go out again? Could it be that the Baylor had chased the Fujin out of the Prince's mansion again?”
The three guards looked at each other with blank expressions.
Hai Lan walked slowly. She had been walking aimlessly ever since she left the mansion. She didn't even know where she was now.
Other than leaving, she didn't know what else to do.
For a person without a heart, it didn't matter what he did.
They had been walking for several hours, right? Her feet became so heavy, as if she was dragging a rock.
Even so, she still continued to walk with her feet staggering.
After an unknown amount of time, she finally couldn't walk anymore.
She leaned against a big tree by the roadside and panted heavily.
At this moment, a dark shadow appeared out of nowhere and shrouded her. She felt strange and looked up…
Before she could scream, a large hand fell and covered her mouth.
The next morning, Hong Zhou lay on his bed, his dark and bright eyes looking somewhere.
He was thinking about what happened yesterday.
When Hai Lan came back yesterday, he was still drunk, but he knew what had happened.
That's right, he chased Ocean Blue away. He chased Ocean Blue away!
Was there such a bastard in the world? Yes, it was him.
He thought that he would never see Ocean Blue again, so he could only numb himself with alcohol. Similar to the situation when he lost Rui Yu, he felt as if he had entered hell. He had experienced this kind of unbearable pain before. He did not expect that this time, he was the one who pushed himself into hell.
Hai Lan had only been gone for a day, but he felt like he had died once.
Hai Lan was back, and he actually pushed her away. For his self-esteem, for his pride, he killed his own happiness with his own hands.
He had no strength to blame himself. He could only lie on the bed like a zombie.
"Lord Baylor, bad news!" Little Button rushed in without knocking on the door and shouted,"That day, that guy called Kuer came back again. He was at the gate clamoring to see the Fujin!”
"Kuer?" Hong Zhou jumped up from his bed.
Kuer wanted to meet Ocean Blue? What was going on? Didn't Hai Lan go back to Tibet with him?
Hong Zhou ran to the door. When Kuer saw that it was Hong Zhou, he pounced on him like a madman and grabbed his clothes.
"Where's Ocean Blue? Did your people say that Ocean Blue left? How could this be? Why did she leave?" Kuer said angrily.
Hong Zhou grabbed Kuer and shouted,""Hai Lan went to look for you. Why?”
"What are you talking about in your sleep!" Kuer pointed at Hong Zhou's nose and said rudely,""Hai Lan doesn't love me. If she's willing to be with me, I'll be so happy that I'll die. If she hadn't told me that the person she loved was you, do you think I would have let her leave me?”
Hong Zhou took a step back and shook his head in disbelief.""Hai Lan said she loves me? Is this true?"
"Why would I lie to you?" "She told me herself," Kuer said sadly. She said that she likes me, but the person she loves is you. I had no choice but to give up and let her come back to find you.”
"No!" Hong Zhou's body swayed and his face turned pale.
So Hai Lan came back to tell him that she loved him, but what did he do? In order to chase her away, he said all sorts of bullsh * t to make her sad. Oh my god, what did he do?
Hai Lan faced her feelings bravely, but what about him? He had been running away, and he was still running away. His cowardice had finally forced Hai Lan away. She would never forgive him, and she would never come back!
"Where is Ocean Blue? Tell me!" Kuer asked aggressively.
Hong Zhou closed his eyes. "She did come back, but I chased her away.”
"Damn it!" Kuer couldn't take it anymore and threw a punch.
Hong Zhou didn't dodge the punch. He felt that he deserved it.
Seeing that Lord Baylor had taken a punch, Little Button and the guards roared and wanted to take Kuer down.
"All of you, retreat!" Hong Zhou's dignified voice sounded.
"Tsk!" With his master's order, Little Button and the others could only helplessly retreat to the side.
Hong Zhou looked at Kuer and said sincerely,""If you want to beat me up, I won't fight back. But the most important thing now is to find Ocean Blue.”
"Can I trust you?" Kuer looked at him suspiciously. "Tell me, after we find Hai Lan, will you still hurt her and chase her away?”
"I won't do it again." Hong Zhou's tone was extremely firm. "I won't let her leave me again. I'm just afraid that she won't forgive me…We'll talk about this later.”Thinking about how Hai Lan had disappeared from Beijing again, Hong Zhou wished he had a pair of wings and could fly to Hai Lan's side as fast as he could.
"We have to move faster." Kuer's face was filled with worry. "Do you know why I came back to look for Hai Lan? My subordinate told me that my second brother arrived in Beijing a step later than me. I was afraid that he would harm Hai Lan, so I came back to warn her.”
"Is your second brother Keldan the one who sent Ocean Blue to Beijing?”
Kuer looked at Hong Zhou in surprise. "It's him. Why, do you know Kerdan?"
"Not only do I know him, I've even seen him before!" Hong Zhou gritted his teeth.”
At this moment, he recalled the first time he met Ocean Blue, and how Kerdan had been so mean to her. If Ocean Blue fell into Kerdan's hands again, he could not imagine what Ocean Blue would become.
He immediately shouted," Quick, Little Button, go and bring the horses out. Also, gather everyone here. We're leaving immediately!"”
Little button and the others went to prepare themselves, leaving only Hong Zhou and Ku Er here.
Kuer looked at Hong Zhou thoughtfully. Hong Zhou's anxious look didn't seem to be faked. He really cared about Hai Lan, and Hai Lan didn't fall in love with the wrong person.
"Tell me." He asked Hong Zhou,"Hai Lan loves you, what about you?" Do you love Ocean Blue?"
Hong Zhou said regretfully," Yes, I loved her, but I never let her know that I loved her. You hit me, and it was right. I deserved it. If anything happens to Hai Lan, I will never forgive myself."”
Seeing Hong Zhou's self-reproach, Kuer's dissatisfaction and criticism towards him disappeared. He sighed." Do you know what Hai Lan wants to do the most? What is her biggest wish?”
"Can you tell me?" Hong Zhou wasn't jealous of Kuer, who knew Ocean Blue better than him. He blamed himself for not putting enough effort into Ocean Blue. The amount of Ocean Blue that he knew wasn't even one-tenth of what Kuer knew.
Kuer nodded. "There is no sea in Tibet, so Ocean Blue has always had a wish since she was young. She hoped to see the sea one day, and she wanted to see the sea with her partner.”He smiled, feeling extremely regretful.
"I always thought that I would be the one to bring her to see the sea. Now, you will help her fulfill her wish on my behalf!”
"I will." Hong Zhou's black eyes sparkled. "I will do this for Hai Lan, I will show you!”
Hong Zhou and Kuer's worries were right, because Ocean Blue had indeed been taken away by Keldan.
Kerdan knocked out Ocean Blue and brought her to an abandoned temple in the suburbs of Beijing.
Kerdan was afraid of being recognized by the people of Hongzhou, so he didn't dare to stay in the inn. He could only temporarily suffer.
He knew that there was a saying in Chinese that said," The most dangerous place is the safest place." Even if Hong Zhou and Ku Er found out that he was the one who took Hai Lan away, they would definitely think that he had already left Beijing with Hai Lan. They would never expect him to stay in Beijing.
He planned to hide here for a few days, and when the situation was less tense, he would bring Hai Lan out. Even if he couldn't go back to Tibet, he would have a place to stay!
The most important thing now was to make Hai Lan his woman. If he became Hai Lan's husband, even if he was caught, Hong Zhou would not make things too difficult for him since they were both 'friends'.
Looking at the beauty lying on the haystack, Kerdan laughed proudly.
Ocean Blue was finally in his hands. The Sea God's daughter that he had been longing for was finally going to be his.
"Hey, wake up, my beauty.”Kerdan patted Ocean Blue's face.
He had spent most of the night and the whole morning searching for this hiding place. He had wasted too much time. Now, he would enjoy the charming body he had longed for for years.
Hai Lan finally woke up. She slowly opened her eyes.”
Her whole body was in pain because Kerdan had sealed her acupoints for too long.
"Hai Lan, are you happy to see me?”Kerdan laughed so hard that his mouth was wide open.
"Kerdan?" Hai Lan cried out in alarm and wanted to escape.
However, she had not recovered her strength, and her soft body could not move at all.
"Trying to escape? You can't escape." Kerdan looked at her beautiful face with fascination. "Do you know that you really have magic power? After I returned to Tibet, I couldn't forget you no matter what. I change women every day, trying to find your shadow in them, but you are you, and no one can replace you. That's why I'm here. This time, good luck is on my side. I haven't even started my plan, and you've already taken the initiative to throw yourself into my arms.”
Kerdan couldn't hold it in anymore. He stretched out his arms and pulled Ocean Blue into his embrace.
" Let me be happy, Ocean Blue!" He stuck out his tongue.
"No, save me!" Ocean Blue tried her best not to let Kerdan's tongue touch her face.
But she didn't have enough strength. Kerdan started sucking on her face.
"It's really delicious!" After licking Ocean Blue's face, Kerdan started searching for her lips.
"No!" Hai Lan refused to listen. She struggled and shouted,"Help! Hongzhou, Hongzhou, where are you? Come and save me!”
Apart from being frightened, she also felt sorry for herself. Even now, she still missed him in her heart. She knew that he did not take her seriously, but her heart was still tied to him.
Hong Zhou, Hong Zhou…
She kept calling out to her beloved in her heart.
If she was insulted by Kerdan, she would not be able to live. She had nothing else to ask for, but to see Hong Zhou again before she died.
It didn't matter if he didn't love her or if he didn't want to talk to her. She just wanted to look at him so that she could die in peace.
At this moment of despair, the heavens pitied her and let her hear the voice she wanted to hear the most.
"Ocean Blue!"
It's Hongzhou and Kuer!
An hour ago, Hong Zhou's men had coincidentally seen Kerdan sneaking around in front of the ruined temple, so they immediately reported back. Hong Zhou and Kuer had rushed over in time after receiving the news.
Seeing Ocean Blue in Kerdan's arms, Hong Zhou wanted to kill Kerdan immediately.
"Hong Zhou, Ku Er!" Hai Lan couldn't believe her eyes. Her tears blurred her vision.
Hong Zhou had come to save her, that was great! Even if he wanted her to die immediately, he would have no regrets.
" Second Brother, let Ocean Blue go!" Kuer shouted at Kerdan with his sword in hand.
Kerdan saw the two of them coming at him menacingly and did not dare to face them head-on. He carried Ocean Blue on his shoulder and ran to the back.
Hong Zhou and Kuer didn't expect Kerdan to run away without saying a word. When they reacted and chased after him, Kerdan, who was known as the " runner ", was already a long distance away from them.
Hong Zhou and the others used their lightness skills to chase after him. Finally, they caught up with Kerdan by the river.
"All of you, stop!" Kerdan raised Ocean Blue high up. "If you dare to come over, I'll throw her down!”
"Hong Zhou!" Hai Lan's acupuncture points were sealed and she couldn't move. She looked at Hong Zhou in panic.
"Don't do anything rash!" Hong Zhou shouted anxiously. "Let's make a deal. If you let Hai Lan go, I'll spare your life.”
"Hehe, isn't this condition a little too harsh?”The reckless Kerdan was still bargaining. "I want you to give Ocean Blue to me, or I'll die with her.”
" You…" How could Hong Zhou agree to this? Even if he agreed, Ocean Blue wouldn't.
"Hongzhou." Kuer quickly gave Hong Zhou a look. Although Hong Zhou didn't understand what he meant, he nodded slightly.
No matter what Kuer did, he would cooperate with him.
"Second brother!" Kuer suddenly shouted.
"What are you doing?" Kerdan's words were still on the tip of his tongue when Kuer's men flew towards him at an extremely fast speed like arrows in the air.
Almost at the same time, Hong Zhou charged at Ocean Blue in Kerdan's hand.
"Ah!" By the time Kerdan reacted, the two of them had already arrived in front of him.
Just as Kuer's foot was about to hit Kerdan, Kerdan panicked and fell backward.
Hong Zhou and Kuer watched helplessly as Kerdan fell into the river with Ocean Blue.
"Ocean Blue!" Hong Zhou jumped in after him, and Kuer, who was a step behind him, also jumped into the river.
Four people suddenly appeared in the rapid river.
Hong Zhou swam with all his might, reaching out to grab Hai Lan's hand.
" Hong Zhou…" Ocean Blue opened her mouth and sucked in a large amount of river water. She could not move her limbs and was soon swallowed by the river water.
" Ocean Blue…" Hong Zhou dived to the bottom of the river, anxiously searching for his Ocean Blue.
He swam with all his might, but Ocean Blue was gone!
He did not give up and continued to search for his blue eyes in the clear river.
"Hong Zhou, can I go in?" Rui Yu knocked on the door and asked.
"Come in." Hong Zhou's voice slowly came from inside.
Rui Yu pushed the door open and entered. She walked to Hong Zhou's side with a solemn expression.
"How is she?" She looked at Ocean Blue, who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed.
Hong Zhou did not turn around to look at her. "Four imperial physicians have come to see her, but she still doesn't wake up. It had already been five days. If this continued, her body would not be able to take it.”
" Hong Zhou..." Hong Zhou said sadly. Rui Yu was very sad when he heard it and didn't know what to say to comfort him.
"By the way, why are you here?" Hong Zhou asked her.
"The emperor asked me to come and see you.”" The Emperor is very concerned about you," Rui Yu said carefully." He doesn't mean anything else…" She was afraid that Hong Zhou would think too much and misinterpret Qianlong's good intentions.
"It's okay. I don't care about anything now!”Hong Zhou looked deeply at Ocean Blue's peaceful sleeping face and said faintly,"" I don't want anything now. I just want her to wake up and listen to my confession. She doesn't know that I love her yet. If she dies just like that…" His eyes were hot and he couldn't continue.
"Hongzhou, do you love her very much?" Rui Yu asked softly.”
"Yes!" Hong Zhou wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and said in the most determined tone,""I always thought that I wouldn't fall in love with any other woman besides you, and Hai Lan was just a tool for me to take revenge on my brother. Because she was the woman my brother liked, I always told myself not to fall in love with her, but I failed. When I found out that I loved her, I didn't admit it and didn't let her know. Other than the previous reason, there was actually another important factor, and that was you.”
"Me?"
"Yes." Hong Zhou looked deeply at Rui Yu. "If I love Hai Lan, it means that I've forgotten about you. This is not an outcome I want to see. In order not to betray you, I didn't treat her as my wife.”
"You're so silly." Rui Yu sighed deeply.
Hong Zhou caressed Hai Lan's thin cheeks. "I'm stupid, and so is Hai Lan. This is love, isn't it? Once one fell in love, there was no reason to speak of.”
"I understand, because I'm the same as you. I'm trapped in a whirlpool of emotions, but I got out of it earlier than you.”Rui Yu looked at Hong Zhou gently. "Tell me, have you walked out now?”
Rui Yu's words made Hong Zhou smile knowingly. "I've gotten over it, but I'm now trapped in Hai Lan's emotional whirlpool.”
Rui Yu also smiled. "I'm so happy that this is the result. We're just friends, right?”
"Yes, just friends." After Hong Zhou finished speaking, his mood became incredibly relaxed. It seemed that he really treated Rui Yu as a friend.
Ocean Blue will wake up." Rui Yu said sincerely,"She won't be willing to leave this world. With your love, she will definitely wake up."”
"I hope so." Hong Zhou looked at Ocean Blue with hope and said to her in his heart,""Hai Lan, did you hear that? You must wake up and give me a chance to love you!”
Hai Lan still hadn't woken up. She had been unconscious for seven days.
The imperial physicians were not optimistic about Hai Lan's condition. They said that if Hai Lan did not wake up soon, her weak body might not last for more than a few days.
This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Hong Zhou. He stayed by Hai Lan's side day and night. He was in a bad mood and didn't eat anything other than water. He had lost a lot of weight in just seven days.
When Hai Lan was unconscious, many people came to see her. Yun Rou, Xue Ru and her husband, Xue 'er and Yi Xin. The day before yesterday, it was Rui Yu. Yesterday, Rui Yu even brought Qianlong over.
Of course, there was also Hai Lan's childhood friend, Ku Er. He lived in the Imperial Residence, and Hai Lan could not wake up, so he could not leave in peace.
Hong Zhou was not hostile to Kuer at all. Because of this, he did not intend to pursue Kerdan's evil deeds and let him go back to Tibet.
Even so, if anything happened to Ocean Blue, he would still go to Tibet and pay for it with his life.
However, he wouldn't let that happen because Hai Lan would definitely recover. Even though he had waited for seven days, he still believed that.
He picked up Hai Lan's ridiculously light body and sat behind her, wrapping his strong arms around her.
"Hai Lan, have you slept enough?”He gently shook her body.
Ocean Blue didn't respond.
"Aren't you going to wake up? Are you still angry with me?" Hong Zhou pressed his face against hers, his tears wetting her hair.
"Quickly wake up! If you don't wake up, how will you know that I love you?”
Ocean Blue still didn't move.
Hong Zhou said hoarsely,"I love you, Ocean Blue." In my heart, there is no one else but you. I only love you now, do you hear me? Only you!"
Hai Lan's fingers moved slightly, but Hong Zhou, who was behind her, didn't see it.
He hugged her tightly and choked,"You want to see the sea, don't you?" Shall I take you to see the sea? Let's go together. Do you know what the sea looks like? Blue, just like your eyes.”
He held her face and gently pressed his lips against hers.
"I'm kissing you. Can you feel it?”"Please wake up!" he said as he kissed her. Isn't seven days of punishment enough to appease you? Wake up, Hai Lan, look at me with your blue eyes. Don't be so cruel, I beg you…"
Hong Zhou couldn't continue. He cried, and his regretful tears kept dripping onto Hai Lan's face.
Ocean Blue's eyelashes twitched.
"Ocean Blue?" Hong Zhou shook her ecstatically. Oh my god, did he see wrongly?
Hai Lan's eyelashes moved again, and Hong Zhou almost couldn't breathe. He held his breath and stared at the blue eyes that he had been longing for.
Her blue eyes were still as beautiful and clear as ever.
His Hai Lan woke up and looked at him with her blue eyes.
"Hongzhou." Although the voice was weak, it was definitely Ocean Blue's voice!
"Ocean Blue!" Hong Zhou shouted and hugged her. "You're awake. That's great, that's great!”
"I heard what you said." Hai Lan smiled. "You said you love me, right?"
Hong Zhou stroked her head lovingly. "Yes."
"Can you repeat that?" Hai Lan looked at him with longing.
"Hai Lan, I love you!" Hong Zhou held her upper body in his arms.
"I heard it." Hai Lan sighed softly. "If this is a dream, don't let me wake up.”
Hong Zhou hugged her tightly. "Do you still think I'm dreaming when I hug you like this?”
Hai Lan looked at him with her soft blue eyes. "If you do one more thing for me, I'll believe it's true.”
"No problem, let alone one, even a hundred will do!”
"Just one thing." Hai Lan looked at him shyly." I want you to draw a picture of me and hang it in your study room.”
Hong Zhou laughed. "One painting isn't enough. Let me draw a hundred. Study, bedroom, hall, I'll paste your paintings everywhere.”
"Then I'll accept it respectfully, husband.”Hai Lan said mischievously, not at all like someone who was seriously ill.
Her illness could be cured without any medicine. What cured her was her and Hong Zhou's love for each other!#
