Xiao Yao's face turned pale when he coughed, and his eyes turned black.
After seeing clearly who the person in front of him was, Xiao Yao grabbed Yun Ruhui's hand and uttered two words with difficulty: "Help me."
Yun Ruhui was stunned for a moment, and slowly took back the hand she placed on Xiao Yao's back. She said with red eyes and trembling: "How else can I help you?"
When Xiao Yao did something wrong, he pushed himself to take the blame, and even lost his self-esteem and went to the palace to apologize to Qin Zhen... Isn't it enough that she helped him?
After that time, she was grounded. Later, when the grounding period expired, Yun Ruhui didn't want to come out anymore, which made her feel quite discouraged.
This time, if nothing happened to Xiao Yao, Yun Ruhui might have continued to stay in her small yard.
Xiao Yao seemed to recall what he had done in the past, and his eyes finally looked at Yun Ruhui with a hint of guilt.
"What happened back then... I was sorry for you." Xiao Yao said slowly.
One sentence made Yun Ruhui burst into tears instantly.
After such a long time, she finally waited for an apology.
Yun Ruhui raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes, stared at Xiao Yao's face, and said with a choked voice: "Xiao Yao, say it yourself, if you hadn't been in this situation today, would you have apologized to me?
If not, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for an apology from you in this life."
Xiao Yao said goodbye and avoided Yun Ruhui's eyes.
However, he quickly turned his head to look at Yun Ruhui and said softly: "You can help me just once, okay? No one can help me except you."
Yun Ruhui gritted her teeth, she simply loved and hated the person in front of her.
At the beginning, she was determined to marry the fourth prince. Regardless of Xiao Yao's identity, she really liked this man. Otherwise, she would not have gone to trouble Qin Zhen because of jealousy.
But after getting married, Xiao Yao broke his heart again and again.
She didn't want to have any more extravagant hopes, but seeing the way this man looked at her, Yun Ruhui felt unwilling to do so.
She likes this man so much.
Even though he had hurt her and abandoned her like a chicken.
Xiao Yao seemed to notice her wavering, stretched out his hand and gently held hers, his voice was extremely soft: "Help me one last time, okay?"
Yun Ruhui closed her eyes, opened them again, stared at Xiao Yao, and said word by word: "Remember, only I can help you, only I will still be by your side when you have nothing.
.Xiao Yao, you swear, you swear with your life, you will never fail me again in this life!"
Every word she spoke was laced with cruelty. If she hadn't said it out loud, looking at her expression, one would have thought she hated the man in front of her.
Xiao Yao and Yun Ruhui looked at each other steadily for a moment, and finally said slowly: "Okay, I swear, I will never let you down again in this life. If you break this oath, you will not die a good death."
Yun Ruhui's tense nerve suddenly broke.
She whispered a few more times, and finally raised her head to look at Xiao Yao, asking with soft eyes: "What do you want me to do for you?"
Xiao Yao did not answer her words, but said: "I am not sick, I am poisoned."
Yun Ruhui's eyes flashed and she said nothing.
Xiao Yao looked at her and smiled: "You are so smart, you have guessed it a long time ago, right? You were so scared when Xiao Jue came just now. In fact, it is because you have already guessed in your mind, right?"
Yun Ruhui was silent for a while before asking: "What do you want to do?"
"My poison cannot be cured by the imperial doctor at the Imperial Hospital." Xiao Yao said slowly, "Even if it could be cured, that person would not let them help me cure it."
Xiao Yao looked at Yun Ruhui and said softly: "You have to find someone."
Yun Ruhui was much smarter than Yun Ruying, and she realized almost instantly who Xiao Yao was talking about.
"Impossible," Yun Ruhui turned away and said in a deep voice, "Murong Yan is in the palace, and if the prince doesn't nod, no one can talk to her."
"It's impossible for me to go to the prince. He won't even look at me, let alone talk to me."
Yun Ruhui is very self-aware. People like Lou Yan would ignore the emperor, let alone face her.
The Fourth Prince's Mansion has already fallen out with the Wang Mansion. Now that she has the audacity to ask for help, she is simply bringing humiliation upon herself.
Xiao Yao looked at her and whispered: "I didn't let you go find Lou Yan..."
"It's impossible for Qin Zhen," Yun Ruhui said in a stiff tone, coldly, "It's impossible for me to beg her."
The last time she apologized humbly to Qin Zhen, she had thrown her self-esteem to the ground and trampled on it. There was no way she would be mean in front of Qin Zhen this time.
Xiao Yao looked at Yun Ruhui intently for a while, and finally sighed and said, "Okay, let's think of another way."
Yun Ruhui looked at him in astonishment, as if she couldn't believe it.
Xiao Yao smiled and said softly: "I don't want you to be wronged again."
Yun Ruhui: "..."
Her eyes began to turn red uncontrollably again.
She hated herself for being so moved by a small favor, it was too cheap.
But she couldn't help thinking that Xiao Yao knew that he knew how wronged he was last time.
She lowered her head and hummed softly.
Xiao Yao added: "Xiao Jue is suspicious, don't reveal your secrets in front of him. Also, he is cruel and ruthless. So no matter what happens, don't anger him, you must protect yourself first, do you understand?"
Yun Ruhui: "...I know, I will take care of myself."
Xiao Yao then nodded with relief, closed his eyes, and said softly: "I'm a little tired and want to rest."
Yun Ruhui: "...You can sleep, I will watch over you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yao fell into a deep sleep.
She looked at Xiao Yao's pale and bloodless cheeks, feeling a little bit distressed in her heart.
Xiao Yao has been tortured by this unknown poison for a long time.
At the beginning, he was not so weak. But as time went by, he became weaker and weaker, spending less and less time awake every day, and his whole body lost a lot of weight.
Yun Ruhui couldn't help but think that if he delayed it any longer, he would be completely overwhelmed before he could detoxify.
Yun Ruhui kept Xiao Yao here for half an hour, and finally covered him with a quilt and got up to leave.
After leaving the room, Yun Ruhui stood in the yard outside for a long time, and finally told the maid next to her: "Go to my private treasury and pick out some valuable gifts from my dowry. Follow me later.
Go out."
She figured it out, she couldn't let go of Xiao Yao, and she couldn't cruelly leave Xiao Yao like this without doing anything.
Therefore, she had to put aside all her self-esteem and commit another act of shame in front of Qin Zhen.
Thinking back to how arrogant and domineering she had been when she approached Qin Zhen to warn her not to take Xiao Yao's advice, she now felt so humble in front of Qin Zhen.
