Chu Chengye was sure that Cheng Jin would not listen to him so easily. If Cheng Jin could change her mind with just a few words, then she would not be him.

She was only thinking about how to die, but she would not easily involve other people's lives. This was the only way that Chu Chengye could control Cheng Jin.

He would not let anything happen to Cheng Jin, and would make sure Cheng Jin lived well even if he had to be forced.

After Chu Chengye left, Cheng Jin sat alone in the room in a dilemma. Although she could see a little now, she was still almost as blind as a blind person. Chu Chengye was determined not to let her go out. As soon as she moved, several people behind her would kneel on the ground.

Cheng Jin really had no other choice, but if she was asked to watch Chu Chengye die for her, how could she possibly do it?

Chu Chengye is leaving now, and apart from handling official business, all kinds of bad thoughts come into Cheng Jin's mind at once.

Now she has been drinking Chu Chengye's blood antidote for several days. Chu Chengye is in danger of sudden death at any time. Thinking of this, Cheng Jin became even more restless.

She sent everyone away, lay on the bed, and groped her way to the window at the back of the room. Just as she touched the window, before she opened it, the door was pushed open.

Cheng Jin couldn't see anything and could only see a faint figure following the light.

Cheng Jin thought it was Chu Chengye who came back, so she pressed on the edge of the window awkwardly, making a crack in the wood. Cheng Jin asked tentatively:

"Why are you back? Have you finished your government affairs?"

Cheng Jin's blurry figure seemed to be getting closer and closer to him, and Pei Yu's gentle voice came.

Pei Yu said softly: "Xiao Jin, it's me."

Cheng Jin's body stiffened, and she looked tentatively in Pei Yu's direction. She couldn't see now, so she could only rely on her sense to find Pei Yu's direction.

Cheng Jin raised the corners of her lips and smiled at Pei Yu, "Pei Yu, it's you."

Pei Yu wanted to respond, but found that Cheng Jin in front of him could not see him. He walked slowly towards Cheng Jin, subconsciously wanting to touch Cheng Jin's eyes.

Cheng Jin's eyes were still sparkling, but not as lively as before, as if the light in her eyes would never disappear.

Before Pei Yu came, he already knew that Cheng Jin was now blind. Even though he had prepared for the worst, when he really saw it, his heart still couldn't help but ache.

He looked at Cheng Jin's voice, trying to control himself and say, "It's me."

To be honest, Cheng Jin hadn't seen Pei Yu for a long time. She only knew that Pei Yu disappeared for a long time after treating Cheng Jin. It was said that he resigned from his official position early and didn't even stay in the capital often. Later, Cheng Jin hadn't heard from Pei Yu for a long time.

The two people had explained everything before, and Pei Yu just regarded Cheng Jin as his younger sister who he had seen grow up.

When she knew that the person coming was Pei Yu, Cheng Jin subconsciously relaxed. She held onto the window and took two steps towards Pei Yu, her eyes brightening.

"I heard that you had not been an official in the capital for a long time. I thought you went to travel. Why are you back now?"

Because there is someone I care about most in this capital.

Even though Pei Yu wanted to say these words very much, he finally just smiled at Cheng Jin and said, "I've had enough fun, so I'm back."

Cheng Jin couldn't help but show envy on his face, and there was frustration in his tone that he didn't even notice.

"very nice."

Pei Yu took Cheng Jin's sleeve and led her to the table, then helped her sit down. Pei Yu said, "Xiao Jin, you can do this in the future."

Cheng Jin did not tell Pei Yu that she was completely blind and there was no antidote. She just lowered her head, thinking about something, and nodded in a trance.

Pei Yu said: "Don't worry, Xiao Jin, your eyes are not incurable."

When Cheng Jin heard Pei Yu's words, she looked up suddenly and blinked in Pei Yu's direction, seeming a little unbelieving.

Pei Yu said slowly: "Everything in this world is interdependent and mutually exclusive. Since this poison can be made, there must be an antidote to match it. It's just that the poison in your body is more complicated, so the method is also complicated."

Cheng Jin felt as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw when she heard Pei Yu's words. She asked excitedly, "Then what should we do?"

Cheng Jin now had only one thought in her mind, that is, Chu Chengye would no longer put his life in danger to save her, and she would not have to die.

This is not a dead end where one of the two people must die.

"I have heard that when the emperor took your heart blood, that method was indeed effective, but the damage was too great, and only one of you could survive."

Cheng Jin had guessed it long ago. If he was really fine as Chu Chengye said, then how could this prescription for curing all poisons be just a rumor that no one had ever tried?

Pei Yu continued: "But that is indeed the most useful. It can save you from the unbearable pain of forcing the poison out of your body."

Cheng Jin immediately shook her head, "I can bear it."

"The pain of gnawing at bones, the reverse flow of blood, the separation of tendons and bones from the flesh, can you do it too?" Pei Yu looked at Cheng Jin uncertainly.

Cheng Jin nodded heavily, "I can."

Cheng Jin was not really not afraid. Of course she was afraid of pain. She could even be said to be afraid that this pain might be more horrible and lasting than death, but this was something she had to endure.

She couldn't really let Chu Chengye sacrifice his life for her.

Pei Yu nodded. "In that case, I'll come back tomorrow to help you detoxify."

Pei Yu gave Cheng Jin some more instructions and then left quickly. The Chunhe Palace became quiet again until only Cheng Jin was left.

But now all the invisible loneliness from before is gone, and what remains is only hope for the future and hope for life.

She has always longed to live, longed for love, and longed for happiness. Now that she has everything, she is even more reluctant to give up.

Not long after Pei Yu left, Chu Chengye, who had just come in the morning, came over quickly. He almost ran over, and when he arrived at Chunhe Palace, his breathing was still not smooth. Wei An behind him could not keep up with Chu Chengye at all, and could only keep shouting behind him, "Your Majesty, slow down and be careful of your body."

How could Chu Chengye be slower? Pei Yu disappeared for such a long time and suddenly appeared again. He came back and went straight to Chunhe Palace. What else could he be thinking? Wasn't he just coming for Cheng Jin?

He should have accepted Pei Yu's words long ago when he allowed him to move freely in the palace because Pei Yu treated Cheng Jin's illness.

Thinking of this, Chu Chengye took bigger steps until he reached the door of Cheng Jin's bedroom. He suddenly stopped and put away his anxious look, fearing that he would scare Cheng Jin, who was now invisible. He gently opened the door, walked in front of Cheng Jin, and said in a deep voice, pretending not to care:

"I heard Pei Yu is here?"

When Cheng Jin heard Chu Chengye's voice and thought of Pei Yu saying that she was saved, she couldn't hide the smile on her face at all. She stood up like an excited deer and rushed into Chu Chengye's arms.
