Quick Wear: Don't come over here, you are looking for trouble

Xie He felt cold all over, he hugged Xu Bai tightly, but his expression was so desperate as if he was pushed into a bottomless abyss.

A farce ended.

The emperor finally realized his own cruelty. Xu Bai was still in his arms, but the words of the imperial physician rang in his ears again.

"Before returning to the palace, the young master was vomiting blood, which meant his life was hanging by a thread, and he was in critical condition. Now, I am powerless."

He stole a glance at Xie He's chest, which rose and fell violently. His eyes were red and he was extremely afraid. "This matter... was because the young master was afraid that His Majesty would worry, so he told me to keep it secret. This minister deserves to die."

He deserves to die, but he is not the only one who deserves to die.

I am the one who is unforgivable.

Xie He brought Xu Bai to his bedroom and let the young master lie on his bed.

The blood had gradually dried up. The emperor fed Xu Bai a life-saving pill, asked the palace maid to get hot water, and wiped him bit by bit with a towel.

Xu Bai: [Give up treatment? ]

Liu Er: [Last time you vomited blood, Xie He asked someone to come and see you, but there was no hope. Here, the medicine I just gave you is to keep you alive, 7 pills, and now there are 5 left.]

Xu Bai: [Ah, how can that be possible?]

He sounded particularly regretful, and even pretended to cry twice, "We can't waste such a good medicine."

Xie He wiped it very carefully, wiping the pretty face covered with blood clean. His fingers rubbed the corner of the boy's lips. He lowered his eyes, feeling a dull pain in his heart, and wanted to hold that soft hand again.

Originally, they should have been a pair of soft, delicate, fair and graceful hands.

But now the palm in his hand was a little rough, and the mottled red marks on the sides of his fingers were still there, looking extremely unsightly.

"Cough." Xu Bai suddenly coughed, his chest felt pushed up and a cry of pain came from his throat.

"..."

Xie He didn't dare to make a sound. He quietly sent a little bit of his internal energy into the hand he was holding, trying to warm up his cold body.

The cough started again, and this time a dark brown stain appeared at the corners of Xu Bai's lips.

It wasn't blood, it was the juice from the pill that had just been fed to you.

The life-saving stuff melted in his mouth, but Xu Bai vomited it out - the young master's body was really in such bad condition that he couldn't even retain this little bit of medicine.

Liu’er: …So that’s what you mean.

Xie He could no longer suppress the pain in his eyes. Before the towel reached out to wipe the corner of his lips, he heard Xu Bai mutter, "Xie He..."

Are you dreaming?

The young master was in so much pain that his internal organs were twisted into a ball. After learning the truth, he coughed up blood violently, which drained all his strength. He had been holding on to it. From entering the palace to being poisoned and imprisoned, from Ling County to returning to the palace, his body was already rotten. This time, learning the truth was nothing more than the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Xu Bai thought about the Fourth Prince's words over and over again, and recalled over and over again how Xie He suddenly killed someone, and the panic that had not been concealed in his eyes when he questioned him.

His eyelashes trembled as he opened his eyes, revealing a pair of dilated pupils.

The young master woke up.

"Xie He..." He spoke in a low voice, and it took him a long time to see the man in front of him clearly, "Is it you?"

He had a lot to say, but it was all stuck in his throat, making his chest hot and painful, and a bloody smell surged from his mouth.

Xie He couldn't lie to him anymore, "Yes."

This word made Xu Bai dizzy. His eyes rolled up immediately and he kicked and kicked over the brocade quilt embroidered with dragons.

It was almost midnight when he woke up again. The young master had been vomiting blood since he fainted. The strands of blood soaked a handkerchief in a short while.

"I'm dying."

Xu Bai closed his eyes. If Xie He hadn't been close to him, he probably wouldn't have heard anything.

Now it was strangely quiet all around. The young master suddenly felt like he wanted to say something. Hate and love were swirling in his heart, causing him to curl up his hands and pinch them hard. "I could have been a waste. With my parents around, I was pampered and lived a life of luxury, being a spoiled young master..."

Many forgotten little things suddenly came to mind in my not-so-bright head.

"When I was eight or nine years old, my nanny would dress me and laugh as she said: Our little Nian Nian is destined to be pampered and spoiled. She is the little darling who is pampered by the master and the mistress. I ran to ask my mother what pampered means, and she said..."

He took a breath, "She said that I would be spoiled by my parents for the rest of my life, and she touched my head while saying that... Xie He, you don't understand. I could have lived a life like this..."

Xie He had never enjoyed family affection, and he had no scruples when he massacred the Gu family. Even though he later knew Gu Nian's whereabouts, he still allowed Su Shi to take him away because he considered his own interests. When he realized that he liked him, he kept him in captivity like a little pet.

That is not love for the young master, and it does not allow him to feel a moment of relaxation.

After all the people close to him left, he was eager to find his next love, first with Su Shi and later with Xie He.

"I...I won't let you go with me to see my parents..." The nostalgia in Xu Bai's eyes faded, turning into grief and hatred, "You, live well, I..." He felt the pain in his body gradually fade away, and his chest, which had been aching all the time, became relieved, "You are a good emperor,...but I, regret..."

Blood kept gushing out, turning from red to dark, mixed with many broken blood clots. The young master kept his eyes open, clearly in pain, but there was always a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Xie He hugged him, just hugged him, without any reaction, until dawn.

Xie He has been thinking about it.

What did Gu Nian want to say?

Regret entering the palace? Regret saving him? Perhaps... regret why she didn't die with her parents in the Gu Mansion.

[Are you crazy?] Liu Er repeatedly tried to kick out Xu Bai, who had regained consciousness, but Gu Nian's body was already dead, so it couldn't succeed at all. [The mission is not completed. You haven't maxed out the favorability of either of them, so you will be judged to restart!]

Xu Bai: [Don’t worry, don’t worry, you see, the time is not up yet, and I haven’t pressed the button to leave early, so there is still a lot of time left.]

The red light is still flashing.

Xu Bai: [Where are the melon seeds hidden? Give me a handful. ]

……

Qi Xiuran received a letter.

It was bulging inside, as if something hard was stuffed in it.

"This is what the young master asked me to give you." The one who brought it was the guard who had been guarding the door of Xie He and Xu Bai in Ling County. "He asked me to bring it to you today."

In fact, he still didn't understand why the young master would ask him to hand this thing over to the young eunuch, but since he had agreed, he would definitely do it.

Qi Xiuran opened the envelope and found a jade pendant inside. It was the one that Gu Nian had worn since childhood and was not allowed to touch. But now, for some unknown reason, it had been taken off and placed here.

"The young master asked me to redeem this jade pendant. It's in the pawn shop."

"He said there's a letter inside. You'll know once you read it." The guard was still on duty. If he hadn't been entrusted and was moved by Xu Bai's care for the sick, he wouldn't have taken the risk to come. "I'll leave first."

Qi Xiuran suddenly had a bad feeling and took out the letter.

"Xiu Ran, I feel deeply guilty about you, I just hope you are well..." The first half was an apology to himself, but the second half asked him to hand the jade pendant to Xie He and Su Shi.

The young man is now living with Xie He day and night, why doesn't he give it to him personally?

A strong sense of foreboding surged in Qi Xiuran's heart, his heart was pounding wildly. He put the jade pendant and the letter around his waist and went to look for Xie He.
