Not dead yet

Lin Ximeng, who was still alive, rushed to the study room in the front yard to settle the score with Xie Chenyu.

After searching for a long time but unable to find anyone, he angrily returned to his bamboo flute courtyard.

Sit on a chair with your chest rising and falling.

"I bet you were playing tricks on me. It made me cry and fuss all night, and my heart was broken into eight pieces."

The man who had slept for so long suddenly sacrificed himself to climb up.

Who can feel better? Even if they don’t show any emotion.

"Master, what's wrong with you? You're anxious and angry, and the tip of your nose is sweating."

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, she was sweating all over. Qingqing hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe her sweat.

"I was tricked by the prince. This matter has nothing to do with you. You ask Dagui to go to the front yard to inquire about it. The prince will inform me as soon as he comes back."

The only one who made him go out so actively was probably the oiran girl from Little Lotus Lane.

Thinking that she had fallen out of favor, Lin Ximeng suddenly felt that the poisonous wine last night might have been missed.

I will do it all over again when Xie Chenyu comes back.

And there will be no more treatment like last night, and I will just burp my farts.

In Xie Chenyu's heart, he was worthless.

This wait lasts for three days and two nights.

It was the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month when Xie Chenyu returned home, which was about to approach the new year.

During this period, Lin Ximeng had trouble sleeping and eating, and her eating and sleeping tasted like chewing wax, and she couldn't sleep all night long.

When the two met again on the evening of the 22nd, their faces looked worse than the other.

"What's wrong? You're still asking for a meeting in the middle of the night."

In the bedroom in the front yard, Xie Chenyu was wearing pajamas and leaning on a soft pillow. The warm yellow light shone on his face, making his face look slightly yellow.

"I want to ask about that poisonous wine. Didn't it kill me? What happened?"

Lin Ximeng got straight to the point.

Xie Chenyu's face softened a little, and there was a hint of softness and teasing between his brows.

"What? I really want to die."

"No, I want to ask why you lied to me."

Xie Chenyu suddenly chuckled and pointed at Lin Ximeng: "You are direct and bold enough. Even the rules can't control you. You are direct. Who taught you?"

"If you are going to die, what rules do you need? Please make it clear, Your Majesty."

Xie Chenyu raised his arm and pulled her to sit next to him, twirling his fingers around her fragrant hair.

"I didn't lie to you, I wanted to kill you at that time."

Xie Chenyu pointed to the brocade box on the bedside coffee table.

"Here, it's that packet of medicine. I spent a lot of effort to get it from a foreign businessman. It's colorless, tasteless, and it doesn't hurt or itch."

Lin Ximeng was startled: "Then why?"

"No matter what, you are my woman after all. It would be too shameful to kill you."

Xie Chenyu said lazily, then slid his body into the bed and found the most comfortable position.

"What? Do you want to die to fulfill me? That's fine, just take it and drink it yourself."

"No!"

Lin Ximeng rushed forward and hugged the brocade box, hiding it tightly in her arms.

"I don't want to drink. I don't want to die. Unless you kill me, I won't actively seek death myself. Don't even think about it."

It’s not easy to live two lives.

Only when you are alive can you have hope, but when you die, you lose everything, right? Who knows if there will be anything left in the third life.

She doesn't want to die anyway.

Better to die than live, right?

Xie Chenyu leaned forward and laughed, laughing and coughing violently, and coughing and coughing...

"Hey, my lord, what's wrong with you?"

"My lord, what's wrong with you? Why is there so much blood?"

Black and bright red, there was blood in the nostrils, in the mouth, on the bedding, everywhere you could see it.

"Come, come quickly, come to the doctor, come to the doctor."

"Don't"

Xie Chenyu clasped her wrist vigorously and stared at her.

"Don't ask the doctor, don't make any noise"

"Mr. Lin, if you don't want to die, just stay with me and I will find a way to save your life."

"What did you do and where did you go?"

She subconsciously shook Xie Chenyu and found that there was more and more blood, which was obviously a serious internal injury.

Not daring to move anymore, Lin Ximeng crawled on the edge of the bed to help him up, one messy thought after another popping up in her mind.

What to do if there is an internal injury? Stop the bleeding, yes, stop the bleeding.

He calmed down Xie Chenyu and rushed out of the dormitory to return to Zhuxiao Courtyard.

She used to prepare medicines for the queen, and she kept a lot of medicinal materials here. The medicinal materials for stopping bleeding and replenishing the blood were precious and complete. At that time, she also prepared two types of Panax notoginseng powder according to the prescription.

After packing up a basket, Lin Ximeng rolled and crawled back to the front yard bedroom.

Xie Chenyu lost too much blood and fainted early.

I was busy all night and stayed up all night.

Prepare and prepare medicine, take off clothes, change clothes and clean wounds.

Lin Ximeng discovered that he not only suffered severe internal injuries, but also external injuries, including knife wounds, sword wounds, and even injuries from blunt objects. The wounds were bandaged randomly and crudely.

Xie Chenyu seemed to be surrounded and beaten, but it didn't look like that.

Most of the people who were beaten had bruises on their noses and faces. Xie Chenyu's head and face were fine, and the injuries on his body were probably from the fight.

After a busy night of external and internal use, Xie Chenyu finally stabilized, with a good pulse, smooth breathing, and no more cold sweats on his forehead.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Lin Ximeng fell asleep with her chin in her hands.

——

It was only after she was young that she realized that Xie Chenyu's injuries were all for herself.

He straightforwardly went to the East Palace to confess that he could do any task, but he couldn't kill his own woman. He couldn't do it.

The prince was not satisfied.

Leng Sensen made a weird fuss about things like 'heroes are saddened by beauty' and 'romantic love', but finally refused to spit it out.

“It’s okay if you don’t want Mrs. Lin to die.”

"Gu has a martial arts training team of eight people under his command. Lao Liu, you have always been good at martial arts, riding and shooting, so let's compete with them."

"If you win, Lin won't have to die."

Xie Chenyu agreed, and the subsequent results are known.

Xie Chenyu narrowly defeated Lin Ximeng and exchanged his life with bruises all over his body.

After returning from the palace banquet, Lin Ximeng knelt on the carriage to change his dressing, wiping tears from her eyes and muttering.

"My life is not worth anything. Why did you save me? You don't like me anymore, do you?"

Xie Chenyu bared his teeth and rolled his eyes.

"Ms. Lin, can you write? Do you know how to write the four words whimsical?"

"If I hadn't seen that you were of some use as queen, I would have killed you with my own hands just like I killed Xu Jingzhong."

Lin Ximeng wiped her nose.

"That's right. The Queen is gradually becoming inseparable from me. It seems that she is still of some use."

"Your Highness is very filial," Lin Ximeng praised.

Xie Chenyu continued to roll his eyes: "You still need to tell me?"

He bared his teeth and crossed his legs.

"No matter what, I saved your life. From now on, I will serve you faithfully and I will not be indebted to you."
