Chapter 163: I'm just going with the flow
Xue Yan just smiled slightly, and her flat expression was not much different from before: "Ah Zi, since I brought you here, I don't plan to hide it from you." When they call me that, you've already guessed in your mind, right? ”
Su Ziran was stunned for a moment.
"So, am I right?"
"I'll talk to you about this matter after the poison on your body is resolved, okay?" There was a bit of fox cunning between his slightly condensed eyebrows.
"Well......" Su Ziran pursed her lips, and said in her heart that it was not the difference between nodding or shaking her head, so she had to hang her appetite, "Okay, you are not allowed to regret it when the time comes!" ”
Xue Yan was helpless: "Ah Zi, when did I lie to you?" ”
Su Ziran glared at him, thinking that he suddenly didn't say goodbye after his wedding, and he was going to take it out and go through the old accounts with him, but he opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't speak.
Xue Yan's expression stiffened slightly, obviously thinking of this matter, he obviously promised to accompany her to find Linglong Zhu, but in the end he left her alone......
Fortunately, Su Ziran suddenly said that the pain was uncomfortable, so he hurriedly carried the person into the house, and then went outside to collect medicine.
The herbs at the door are all precious, and when he bends over slightly, the look on his face is more solemn than ever before.
He didn't want to show it in front of Su Ziran, but the uneasiness in his heart expanded over time, in fact, the poison was not as simple as he said, the antidote to this poison requires a herb called "rotten away", which is hard to find, because "rotten away" from the soil cannot be left for more than two hours, so even in the capital is often in short supply. Although it was not incomprehensible to him, he still wanted to know who had poisoned her in this way.
But what worries him the most is not only this, what he is most afraid of is that the person who poisoned him has a bad idea and must put Ah Zi to death. If another colorless, tasteless, and non-poisonous floating grass is added to this poison, then there is really no spirit in the medicine stone.
Although floating grass is not poisonous, once it encounters "rot", it will transform into another poison, which is why he was restless all the way.
There was a sudden "bang" in the room, Xue Yan's pupils shrank, his mind suddenly retracted, he grabbed the medicine he picked and rushed back, his eyes touched the figure that fell to the ground, his heart tightened suddenly, and the "rot" in his hand fell to the ground without realizing it, strode in front of her, and carried her back to the bed with trembling hands.
"Ah Zi, what's the matter, I've only been away for so long, why are you so careless? Didn't I tell you, I'm just outside the door, and I can be called at any time for anything, why don't you listen? ”
After the hoarse voice, there was a dead silence in the room, and the needle drop could be heard.
Of course, he knew that the person lying on the bed would not answer his question, but he just couldn't help but be angry, not at her, but at himself.
"Ah Zi...... Don't let me be scared anymore and stay by my side in the future, okay? ”
He didn't dare to ask when she was awake, and he didn't need to, because he knew she would never agree.
He was afraid that even the harmonious "friendship" between them would disappear, so he preferred to stay by her side like a friend, as long as he could guard her and let him do whatever he wanted.
In the past, it was good to be able to watch her from afar, because since he was a child, since he knew that he might have such a fiancée, he would go to see her from time to time, but the distance would never be too close, as long as he could watch her smile from a distance. Let Lan Yan stay by her side, on the one hand, to protect her, on the other hand, to confirm her identity, although it is basically correct, it is better to confirm everything clearly, after all, it is a matter of the Holy Maiden of the Ming You Clan, and it is not allowed to be sloppy.
In fact, at that time, he always thought that she was just his fiancée, and she Su Ziran, the holy daughter of the Mingyou clan, was just the fiancée of him, the priest. Their fates are linked, and their relationship will not change because of anything, so he, who has learned everything about the Mingyou clan since he was a child, feels that everything is natural.
But I don't know when this distant guardian relationship has changed and turned into a possessiveness that even he feels frightened.
Perhaps the first day he really met her, he was already attracted by her dusty temperament. He will never forget that day, on the street, she was indifferent to his frequent overtures, which was a frustration he had never experienced in his life, but it was also the first time he became interested in a person. Perhaps even earlier, as early as his years of watching from afar, feelings had taken root, but he himself had never known it.
Therefore, even if her identity is still undecided, even if she is already married, there is no way for him to withdraw his heart from her, let alone to make a new saint and marry her, as the elders of the clan say.
Now he just wants to resolve the catastrophe for her.
"Ah Zi, what do I have to do to keep you intact and stable for the rest of your life?" He muttered softly.
Rotten Li was right in front of him, but he hesitated and didn't dare to use the medicine, for fear that it would really stimulate the toxins that did not necessarily exist in her body.
The footsteps at the door gradually approached, and the sad and sad look on Xue Yan's face suddenly disappeared, leaving only a cold and alienated place.
"My lord, you're finally back......" The woman's voice was as clear as a bird's bird sounded at the door, the door was wide open, and she walked in directly, "I heard them say that the adult brought an outsider back, this ......"
Before the words were finished, the woman's figure had already reached the bedside, and when she saw the sleeping figure on the bed, the words that followed were never spoken.
Xue Yan glanced at her coldly: "Who allowed you to come in?" ”
"Adult ......"
"Qili, I thought I had made it very clear, but it seems that you still don't understand it very well."
The woman's figure flickered, her face suddenly turned pale, but her eyes stared straight at the woman on the bed: "Why did the adult bring an outsider into the Mingyou Clan, did you forget that the Mingyou Clan strictly forbids outsiders to enter?" ”
Xue Yan glanced at her and sneered slightly: "She is a saint, how can outsiders say it?" ”
"Yes...... But her identity has not yet been determined...... Moreover, she is already married! ”
"Get out." The man stopped looking at her and spoke coldly.
"Your Excellency!"
"I don't want to repeat it a second time."
Finally invited the noisy person away, Xue Yan sighed, got up to pick up the rot, and walked to the medicine house next door to decoction the medicine.
For two hours, he searched through almost all the medical books in the medicine house, and he could not find a medicine that could cure the second poison.
In more than 20 years of life, he has never had such a powerless moment - in vain with his medical skills, but he can't even heal the people he loves the most.
Walking into his room again with the black medicinal juice, Xue Yan not only did not relax for half a minute, but his heart hung higher, his eyes looked at the medicine in his hand emptyly, his footsteps stopped at the door, and he did not step forward again.
If you don't drink it, you're dead, and if you drink it...... Maybe you can live, maybe you can still die.
There was a slight movement on the bed, his eyes flashed, and he called "Ah Zi" as he walked in.
Su Ziran had indeed woken up, looked at him in a daze for two seconds, and closed her eyes tiredly.
"Why did I faint again?"
Xue Yan was almost angry with her: "Shouldn't I ask you this sentence, what did you do when you ran out of bed and fell to the ground!" ”
"I ......" she pulled the corners of her mouth in embarrassment, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she stared at the medicine in his hand tightly, "Antidote?" For me? ”
Xue Yan instinctively took a step back.
Su Ziran frowned, and said aggrievedly: "You shouldn't give me detoxification because of such a small matter of sesame mung beans, right?" ”
"Nonsense again!" Xue Yan sat helplessly on the edge of the bed, stirred the medicine in her hand, her eyebrows were always locked, as if she had made a great determination, and then slowly brought the medicine to her mouth.
"Xueyan, where do I dare to drink your medicine like this?"
Su Ziran was amused and frightened, she didn't know that the man in front of her wanted her to be good wholeheartedly, but because of this, his expression of no half joy at the moment would make the uneasiness in her heart gradually expand, her poison was about to be solved, shouldn't he be happy?
pursed his lips and added teasingly: "It's like feeding me poison." ”
The hand holding the spoon shook suddenly, and a few drops of the medicinal juice in the bowl spilled, and Xue Yan's face suddenly turned white and blue, and it was very ugly.
"Hey, I'm kidding, don't be so serious......" Su Ziran was startled by him, and hurriedly snatched the medicine bowl from his hand, with too much force, the medicinal juice in the bowl shook violently a few times, and a few more drops spilled out.
She didn't care about the bitter smell when it smelled, so she poured the medicine down.
After drinking, she grinned, her eyebrows and eyes curved, and her bright black eyes sparkled.
There was still a little medicinal juice left at the corner of her mouth, and her black appearance looked a little like a cat stealing food, Xue Yan lovingly reached out to wipe it off for her, and there was a touch of pain in her eyes.
"Ah Zi, if I say that your poison has not been completely resolved, will you blame me?"
"Huh?"
Su Ziran was slightly stunned.
Suddenly, she smiled as if relieved: "Feelings, you are sad because of this?" I thought it was a big deal, wasn't it just poison, I was used to being tormented by cold since I was a child, as long as you can save me back, I am not afraid of how much I suffer. Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't get it back, I know you did your best. ”
"Ah Zi, why do you not value your life so much?" He choked his voice, his thin lips pursed into a straight line.
"Who says I don't cherish it?" Su Ziran glared, seeing that his face was pale, he finally couldn't bear it, and pulled his sleeve robe to show comfort, "I'm just going with the flow." You say that I have been poisoned, then I will try my best to cooperate with the treatment, as long as there is a glimmer of life, no matter how painful it is, I will not give up. But if I can't help you, what can I do? ”
