Chapter 67: A Systematic Conspiracy
After nearly ten days of recuperation in the small courtyard, Ruan Tingge's wounds had begun to scab over, and she was able to get out of bed and walk.
Hearing that Lin Yunxi hadn't woken up yet, Ruan Qinge was very worried, so he wanted to go to the Lin Mansion to see her, but King Fenyang and the others disagreed.
But Ruan Qinge's attitude was very resolute, and everyone still couldn't resist her, so they could only prepare the carriage and send her to the Lin Mansion.
Walking into Lin Yunxi's boudoir, it was still the same furnishings as last time, with pink and white veils and brocade quilts, but the girl who was sitting at the table laughing and puffing out her cheeks to let Ruan Tiange eat more snacks was lying on the bed without knowing anything.
Seeing Lin Yunxi's pale face on the bed, his face was so thin that even his cheekbones protruded, as if he had changed someone, Ruan Tingge's nose was sour, and he couldn't help but shed tears.
"The county lord can come to see Yunxi, if Yunxi knows, he will be happy." Mrs. Lin's eyes had lost their brilliance, and she seemed to have lost hope that Lin Yunxi had woken up, so she pulled a smile and said to Ruan Tingge.
"Mrs. Lin, how has Yunxi eaten for the past ten days?" Seeing that Lin Yunxi had lost weight like this, Ruan Qingge frowned and asked.
"She has been in a coma, she can't eat anything, she can only let people boil some gruel, open her mouth and pour it into her," Mrs. Lin said softly, her eyes were red, "but she usually vomits as much as she pours, and she rarely takes the initiative to swallow." ”
"I tried my best, but I could only boil ginseng soup every day to hang her life."
Ruan Qinge fell silent when he heard this, he was only fed by ginseng soup for half a month, and Lin Yunxi should not be able to survive.
But Lin Yunxi was still lying here, although he was skinny, he still had a breathing pulse.
Ruan Tingge walked to the side of the bed and reached out to hold Lin Yunxi's right hand.
Suddenly, there was a tingling pain in her head, and her whole body trembled violently.
She opened her eyes, looked around, and found that she was not in Lin Yunxi's boudoir, but came to a pond.
This is a very beautiful lotus pond, the water is clear, turquoise and immaculate. In the center of the pond, there are large lotus flowers in full bloom, and the shape of the lotus flowers is like a small cradle, pink and white, and the layers are beautiful.
She glanced down at her feet, and found that she was stepping on the grass, and the land next to the lotus pond was covered with dense grass, and the scent of grass and earth was accompanied by the fragrance of lotus flowers, which was very good.
She looked towards the center of the pool, and her eyes suddenly froze, and she noticed that there seemed to be a person lying on the largest lotus leaf in the center of the pool.
"Yunxi...", she couldn't help but shout.
Seeing that the person on the lotus leaf did not move, she looked around and realized that this was the dream that Lin Yunxi was talking about.
Although he didn't know why he appeared here, Ruan Tingge didn't think about it for long, glanced at the figure in the distance, and still gritted his teeth and jumped into the pond.
The water is not very cold, but a little warm, and it is very comfortable to stay in the water. Ruan Tingge paddled the water and swam to the middle of the pool, looking at the lotus pond on the shore that was not very big, but when he got to the water, he found that the center of the pond was actually some distance from the shore.
Ruan Qingge swam to the lotus leaf holding Lin Yunxi, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he saw Lin Yunxi.
Lin Yunxi's face was ruddy, not at all like the skinny appearance that Ruan Tingge had seen in her boudoir before, she closed her eyes and lay peacefully on the lotus leaves, as if she was just asleep.
"Yunxi?" Ruan Tingge shouted again.
Lin Yunxi was already lying on the lotus leaf, and there was no reaction.
Ruan Tingge lay on the side of the lotus leaf, reaching for Lin Yunxi's body, and as soon as she touched Lin Yunxi's arm, she felt that the air around her suddenly became agitated.
"Whew", there was a strong wind blowing in the lotus pond, and the wind blew the lotus leaves and swayed, which made Ruan Tingge a little unable to open his eyes. And the water in this pool also began to ripple, stacking layers of waves, rushing towards Ruan.
Ruan Qingge couldn't help but grab Lin Yunxi's arm, afraid that if he was not careful, he would let Lin Yunxi fall into the water.
A large wave rushed towards Ruan Tingge, Ruan Tingge stepped on the water with both legs, and held the lotus leaf firmly with one hand, avoiding it a little embarrassed.
The entire lake swayed, and Ruan Tingge panted and grabbed the lotus leaves, and began to feel a little strained.
She was secretly aware of the infinite malice towards her in this place, as if the whole space was aimed at her, and even the pool water was pushing her hard, trying to push her towards the shore.
After splashing in the water for a long time, Ruan Tingge was exhausted. Suddenly, his hand slipped and he didn't catch the lotus leaf, and suddenly the lotus leaf carrying Lin Yunxi was pushed away by the pond water, hidden in the depths of the lotus leaf, and soon disappeared.
"Yunxi!" Ruan Tingge exclaimed, very annoyed, and was about to paddle over there to chase after him, but a big wave hit and directly slapped Ruan Tingge into the bottom of the pool.
"Hmm!" Ruan Qinge woke up suddenly, gasped and opened his eyes, and found that he had returned to Lin Yunxi's boudoir.
"County Lord?" Banxia held Ruan Qingge and shouted anxiously, "County Lord, are you okay?" ”
Ruan Qingge calmed her breath slightly, glanced around, and found that everyone in the room was looking at her worriedly.
"I just now—" Ruan Tingge paused before asking, "What happened to me just now?" ”
"Just now, the county lord, you suddenly closed your eyes and sat motionless on the edge of the bed, which startled the slave maid." There was some worry between Banxia's words.
"The county lord is not feeling well? Why don't you take a break? Mrs. Lin also said on the side.
"Nothing." Ruan Qingge shook his head and turned his head to look at Lin Yunxi.
The moment she sank to the bottom of the water, there was a lot of information in her mind, and only then did she understand what happened to Lin Yunxi's body.
Ruan Qingge was silent for a while, and then said to Mrs. Lin, "Mrs. Lin, I want to stay alone with Yunxi for a while, I don't know if it's okay?" ”
Mrs. Lin turned her head to look at Lin Yunxi on the bed, nodded slightly, stood up and said, "Then I'll go out first, even if the county lord stays longer, it doesn't matter." ”
With that, she walked out of the house with her maidservant.
"Banxia, you should go out first." Ruan Tingge said to Banxia.
Banxia obediently walked to the door, turned around and said with some unease, "County Lord, if you have something, call me, I will stay at the door." ”
Ruan Tingge nodded and watched her close the door.
When only Ruan Tingge and Lin Yunxi were left in the room, Ruan Tingge set his eyes on Lin Yunxi on the bed again.
Ruan Tingge's gaze was a little complicated, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After sitting on the edge of the bed for a long time, she sighed slightly and said to herself, "Yunxi, Yunxi, I can't stand you." ”
