The temperature at night suddenly dropped significantly.
Xu Ling 'er shuddered and fell asleep. By the time the sky was bright, Xu Ling 'er felt as if her entire body was on fire. She raised her heavy eyes slightly and saw a handsome young man sitting by the bed looking at her nervously through the light.
"Sister! Are you okay?"
She opened her mouth, wanting to call out to him, but she realized that she could not make a sound at all.
Little Tian panicked when he saw her. She got up and walked out of the room, but she was grabbed by Xin 'er just as she reached the door.
"Brother Xiaotian, you can't go. You went. Who will take care of sister?"
"No! Xiao Lian had been gone for so long, but the doctor still hadn't come. That person is not a good person to begin with. He locked us up here. Now that sister is sick, he must be hoping that sister is dead!”Little Tian shook off Xin 'er's hand as he spoke and strode towards the door.
However, just as he took a step forward, a cold light suddenly flashed, and his arm was instantly cut open.
Little Tian hurriedly took a step back and pulled out the sword at its waist. She looked at the man in front of her with a burning gaze.
"Move aside!"
"His Highness has ordered that none of you are allowed to leave this place.”
Little Tian held his sword in his hand and pointed it at the man's nose." If anything happens to my sister today, I'll make sure you die with her even if I have to risk my life!"”
As he spoke, he rushed out.
Little Tian's body was nimble amidst the flashes of swords and sabers. However, he had only learned it for a short period of time. How could he be a match for Mu Yunlan's guard? His sword was quickly snatched away and he fell to the ground.
Little Tian looked at him with hatred, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and struggled to stand up.
"Today, I must go out."
The guard's expression changed. He snorted coldly and rushed forward. Before Little Tian could react, it felt as if something heavy had smashed into the back of its head. The overwhelming darkness engulfed him.
When she woke up again, the sky was already completely dark.
Little Tian rubbed his neck and regained some consciousness. Then, he rushed into the house in a hurry.
There was only a faint candle in the room. In the flickering light, a man's figure was somewhat unreal. Hearing his movements, the man slowly turned his head.
When Little Tian saw his face, his hands clenched into fists and he said coldly,""Stay away from sister."
Mu Yunlan looked at him indifferently." Go treat your injuries first." She'll be worried when she wakes up."
Little Tian did not listen and repeated,"Stay away from Sister!"”
Mu Yunlan frowned unhappily." You'll wake her up."”
Little Tian was stunned and shut his mouth.
Mu Yunlan sighed softly and slowly bent down, pressing her forehead against hers.
Her forehead was still very hot. It was so hot that it made it impossible for people to feel at ease.
The moment he saw her fall from the tree that day, his heart stopped beating. He didn't know how much effort he had to put in to stop himself from rushing to her side.
He had wanted to wait for a period of time, when the rumors were not so tense and there were no longer so many connections in the court, to secretly take a look at her. However, he received news that she was seriously ill.
He could no longer control his rationality and took advantage of the night to go to her side.
"She lost weight. Why don't you let her eat properly?”
Mu Yunlan said as she gently caressed her face.
Xu Ling 'er's eyelashes fluttered as if she felt his touch. She slowly opened her eyes. The face that she had been longing for day and night appeared in front of her. However, it was flickering due to the candlelight.
Xu Ling 'er's heart skipped a beat. She suddenly smiled and stretched out her hand slowly. However, she retracted her hand just as she was about to touch him.
She smiled bitterly." It must be Xiaotian…I actually mistook you for him…"
Mu Yunlan's heart ached. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
Xu Ling 'er struggled to get up. Mu Yunlan hurriedly held her down.
"Let me get up."
Mu Yunlan frowned and hesitated for a moment before helping her up. Xu Ling 'er leaned against the wall. She felt dizzy and the scene in front of her gradually blurred.
She slowly reached out and grabbed his hand." There's a box in that drawer. Help me get it."”
Mu Yunlan nodded and stood up to bring the box to her.
Xu Ling 'er slowly reached out and used all her strength to open the box. He took out the jade bracelet inside.
Mu Yunlan looked at the jade bracelet, closed her eyes, and turned her face away in pain.
Back then, they were so close to being together.
But now, despite the short distance between them, he could not stand in front of her openly.
Xu Ling 'er looked at the jade bracelet and smiled bitterly. He loosened his grip and threw the jade bracelet on the ground.
The crisp cracking sound was exceptionally clear in the room. Mu Yunlan looked at the broken pieces on the ground in shock, then turned to look at her.
Two streams of tears slowly fell from Xu Ling 'er's face as she said dejectedly,""He won't come back…"
Her voice became lower and lower, and she fell forward weakly as if she had lost her support. Mu Yunlan hurriedly pulled her into her arms.
He bit his lips hard, but the pain from his heart in his chest did not lessen at all. The shards on the ground shone with a faint light. He slowly tightened his grip on her hand.
She didn't know how long she had been in this position before Mu Yunlan put her down and made her a blanket. She stood up and walked to the door. She turned around and looked at Xiaotian." Don't tell her that I came."”
Little Tian suddenly took a step forward and grabbed Mu Yunlan's clothes tightly.
"I don't care what difficulties you have. You've seen that sister is waiting for you! In order to wait for you, she became like this! If you really don't have any feelings for her, don't provoke her again!”
Mu Yunlan's indifferent gaze met his anger and she smiled bitterly." You're still young. You don't understand."”
"I'm young, but I also know that I have to protect the woman I love with my life! He wanted to make her happy, not make her like this!”
Mu Yunlan laughed mockingly and pushed him away." Go bandage your wound." If she knew that you were injured, she would definitely be worried. Take good care of her."
As he spoke, he left without any hesitation.
Little Tian looked at the unconscious woman on the bed and made up his mind. He rushed out of the room and looked at the back of the person who was leaving step by step."I won't tell her you came. I will take good care of her, but not because of you. It's because I like her. I will hold her in my hands! I won't let you have any more chances, and I won't let her shed a single tear.”#
