Seeking Tea (Middle)

I saved him.

I took him back to the Jin family.

After the Jin Mansion was burned down, people advised me to live somewhere else. I refused, so they stopped reluctantly, repaired the remnants of the Jin mansion, and built a few rooms for me to live in and make coffins.

I put the man in one of the rooms and lay down.

The man lay down for three days before waking up.

I bandaged his wounds for three days, fed him medicine for three days, and wiped his body for three days.

When he woke up, I was boiling medicine next to me, and I didn't notice that he was awake at all. The aroma of herbs steamed up with the heat, and I gently shook it out of the window with a fan.

After a long time, he said, "Who are you?" ”

I found out he was awake.

I put down the fan and said to him through the mist, "My name is Jin Chen." ”

He said, "You saved Ben...... I? ”

I said, "Yes." ”

He stopped talking, but his eyes were unusually bright, and he looked at me steadily.

I bowed my head and continued to boil the medicine.

After a while, he said in a low voice, "Jin Chen? ”

For some reason, my heart trembled, and I replied softly, "What's wrong?" ”

He said, "Do you know who I am?" ”

I glanced over at him and said softly, "People." ”

He hooked the corners of his mouth, as if smiling: "There are thousands of people in the world." ”

I said, "Thousands of people are the same to me in this world. ”

It's the truth. Except for the people of the Jin family, everyone is just a "person" to me.

But he didn't seem to believe it. He added: "I'm Yu Wenhuan. ”

I said "um" and said, "Good name." ”

Yu Wenwei paused, and added unrelentingly: "I am King Jin, the younger brother of the current emperor. ”

I lifted the lid of the jar, looked at the herbs carefully, and said casually, "Well, got it." ”

Yu Wenhuan probably didn't expect my reaction, and kept staring at me until I walked to the bed with the bowl of medicine and said to him, "Come on, drink it." ”

He sat up, and I was worried about his injury, so I reached out and helped him. He looked at me again, then took the medicine bowl, and was about to drink it when he suddenly asked me, "How did I drink the medicine before?" ”

I admittedly said, "I fed it." ”

Yu Wenwei said: "How did you feed it?" ”

I didn't understand what he was thinking, so I patiently said, "Naturally, I can feed it as I want." You don't open your mouth when you fall asleep, so naturally you can only do that. ”

Admittedly, the situation was critical at that time, and he didn't open his mouth, so I naturally had to pinch his mouth and pour it hard.

Yu Wenhuan was silent for a while, I didn't know what he was thinking, I saw that he was holding a bowl and didn't drink it, so I persuaded: "You drink the medicine first." After a while, it will be cold. ”

He suddenly said, "You...... Can you be married? ”

I thought I misheard: "What did you say?" ”

He looked at me and said word by word, "Marry me." ”

With a "snap", my fan fell to the ground.

We didn't talk much for the next few days.

A respected old man in the town had passed away, and I was busy making a coffin. So except for the time when we delivered medicine to Yu Wenhuan, we almost didn't take care of each other.

I certainly didn't think about what he said that day. How can I marry him, I have to stay in Yaohe Town, I have to stay in the Jin family.

With that in mind, I took my axe and slashed the wood in front of me in half.

A deep voice behind me said, "Why don't you let men do this?" ”

I turned around and saw Yu Wenhuan wearing an inky black coat, standing there with his arms crossed and looking at me.

Sometimes I don't like the way he looks at me, as if he can always look deep into my heart.

I said, "There is no one else in the Jin family. ”

He came over to pick up the axe from my hand. I made a mistake and said, "No." Your injuries aren't healed yet. ”

He withdrew his hand and said, "I'm leaving." ”

I was stunned.

He said, "Today my guards have found me, and they want to take me back to the palace. ”

I suddenly didn't know how to put my hands, so I had to hold the handle of the axe tightly, and said with a smile: "Then, I will send it to the prince." ”

He seemed to be watching my expression, and after a while, he said, "I told them to wait until I was completely healed before making any plans to leave here." ”

I felt a little emotional well-up in my heart and asked, "Why?" Wouldn't it be better to heal your injuries when you go back to your palace? ”

He was silent for a moment and said, "Don't you know what this is for?" ”

I said, "I don't know." ”

He said, "You really don't know? ”

I shook my head.

He stopped talking and just looked at me.

I laughed, avoiding his burning gaze and nodded.

The days were dragged out again and again by Yu Wenwei.

He stood silently behind me every day and watched me do things, and only occasionally spoke to me. His guards took turns urging him every day, and he lay down on his bed and pretended to be sick, saying that he would leave the next day, and then the guards came again the next day.

It wasn't until the scabs on his body had fallen off that he had to leave. On the day he left, he took me by the hand and wanted to take me back to the palace with me.

But I refused.

Yu Wenhuan didn't have any obvious expression on his face, but he held my hand and didn't let go.

He said: "Jin Chen, do you have another sweetheart?" ”

I said, "No." ”

He said, "Then do you look down on me, or do you not like me?" ”

I said, "The prince is a noble lord, how dare I look down on you." ”

He said, "Then you can't get used to me." ”

I said, "No." ”

He was puzzled: "Then why don't you want to marry me?" ”

I said, "I'm the only one left in the Jin family." If I leave, there will be no one in the Jin family. ”

He said: "If you marry me as a concubine, I will let everyone in the world know about your Jin family." I will send someone to carry a sedan chair to welcome you into the door, and ask the emperor to reward the Jin family and let the Jin family be noble. In the future, many people will come to your Jin family's door to continue the coffin-making business for your Jin family. ”

I was stunned: "You want to marry me as a concubine?" ”

I thought he was just trying to give me a concubine.

Yu Wenhuan suddenly hugged me into his arms, rested his chin on the top of my head and rubbed it gently, and said solemnly: "I will marry you as a concubine." You are the only princess in my life. ”

His arms were warm. I thought about the first time I saw him in the main hall that day, he tilted his head slightly, opened his arms, and gently caught me.

I suddenly remembered what the fairy told me when I was a child, it was fate.

I said, "Why?" ”

He said, "Because I'm tempted." ”

I laughed and said, "Okay." ”

After marriage, Yu Wenhuan treated me very well.

He has a cold temperament, doesn't like to talk much, and has always been alienated from others, calling himself "this king". But he has always been gentle in front of me, and he likes to hold me at night, whisper in my ear, and never say a word of "this king" in front of me. Sometimes when I was angry with him and ignored him, he would come and hug me without saying a word, so that I could not be angry.

He did what he promised me. The emperor favored Yu Wenhuan, his younger brother, and really rewarded the Jin family for him, and sent people to make and carry the coffin for the people of the town.

Once, the cook of the palace bought a black dog that was very badly wounded. Yu Wenwei saw that he sent someone to heal its wounds, and then released it with his own hands. I've seen the black dog once, and I always think it's very familiar.

It wasn't until a man named Yan Yan came to the palace to apply for the position of a guard that I finally remembered that the black dog was the dog demon who was arrested with me in the first place, that is, Yan Yan.

It turned out that he had also escaped from the gourd.

Yan Yan came to repay his kindness, and he remembered the breath on Yu Wenwei's body. When he saw me beside Yu Wenwei, he wanted to rush over and beat me.

Seems he still remembers when I dragged him into the water.

But even if Yan Yan couldn't get used to me, he couldn't do anything about it. I didn't let him leave Yuwenhuan either, anyway, Yuwenhuan even has a demon wife, so it doesn't hurt to have one more guard, right?

Half a year passed peacefully.

I thought I would stay with Yu Wenwei forever, but God still can't see me stable.

Without my knowledge, Su Yinghuan went to Yueqi Country in the past six months and hooked up with Xu Yi, the Dingguo general of Yueqi Kingdom. For Xu Yi's sake, she repeatedly stole the military secrets of her homeland, just to make Xu Yi favor her.

Xu Yi seems to be a handsome son, but in fact he is insidious and cunning, and he is simply a smiling fox.

Hmph, how could he possibly look down on Su Yinghuan, a madman?

But I never expected that Su Yinghuan, a madman, would not forget to cheat me while chasing men.

Once, when she was stealing secrets, she actually took the form of me and stole in the palace, deliberately letting the people in the palace see my face, so she blamed me for treason. She was still putting Xu Yi's handwritten letter in my jewelry box, under my nose, unaware.

I didn't know what was going on until the East Window incident.

That day, Yu Wenwei stood in front of me with a cold face with the wanted notice with my face painted in one hand and Xu Yi's handwritten letter in the other.

He never lost his temper with me once.

He never said a word to me.

Every time he looked at me, it was full of tenderness and pity.

But that day, all that was left in his eyes was anger and coldness. He threw the wanted warrant and Xu Yi's letter at my feet, reached out and grabbed my wrist, and asked me sharply, "Why?" ”

I looked dazed, and it took me two blows to break free of him and pick up the papers from the ground. I read it all at a glance, ironic and sad in my heart.

It turns out that the love between you and me for half a year is not worth these thin pages of paper?

I was expressionless and asked, "What why?" ”

Yu Wenhuan said coldly: "Why do you want to do these things!?" ”

I laughed.

You see, he didn't even suspect that I had been framed, and he came directly to me for my sin. It turns out that in his heart, I am the one who has done such a thing.

It turned out that he didn't believe me at all.

Not at all.

So I smiled lightly and said to him, "Because I am not tempted." ”

His cold expression froze and turned into unbelievable pain.

The emperor soon learned of this, and directly sent someone to arrest me in the dungeon and sentenced me to ten thousand arrows through the heart.

I can escape. With my skills, I can easily leave with a casual stealth technique.

But I didn't.

I stayed in prison quietly, like a fool.

Yu Wenhuan didn't come to see me once.

I don't know what I'm waiting for.

And the last thing I waited for was the gift he asked for from the saints.

Execute me with your own hands.

When I heard the news, it was my last night in prison.

That night I cowered in the corner, holding my head, and quietly cried.

I cried all night.

Early the next morning, Yu Wenwei executed me.

I was chained to a stake. The chains were thin and deep, but I didn't feel any pain.

Yu Wenwei stood in the distance and picked up a bow.

Suddenly, I remembered his arms again. Thinking of the fall, I laughed softly.

Yu Wenwei took an arrow from the wooden frame.

At the beginning, his arms were very warm, like the afternoon lawn that I rolled on when I was a child, sprinkled with warmth and sunshine.

Yu Wenhuan slowly drew the bow.

I suddenly wanted to break free of the chain, so I walked over and hugged him again. Like he used to hold me.

The tip of the arrow was aimed at my heart.

I smiled and closed my eyes.

In the next moment, I could clearly feel the arrow piercing deep through my heart.

Blood flowed frantically from the corners of my mouth and chest, and countless sharp pains exploded in that instant.

My heart is broken.

But I didn't cry.

I just slowly opened my eyes and glanced at him again vaguely. One last look.

Since then, I have nothing to do with him.
