Although his pulse wasn't as vigorous as an ordinary person's, it was still pretty good for someone who had only stepped into the gates of hell.
Lu Yuan He's eyebrows loosened, then looked up to Yan Yuan, who was staring at him anxiously: "My prince, please rest assured, Bull Guard's life has been saved, but his martial arts …."
To Yan Yuan, being able to keep her life was already a blessing from the heavens. As for martial arts, he really didn't dare to hope for it. In the future, he would definitely protect her by his side and not let anyone harm her.
"Also, Your Highness, this Bull Guard, she … Of course it's a woman. "
Lu Yuan He also did not know why he made such a wrong judgement that day, there were clear differences between the meridians of men and women, but the meridians that he reached, was clearly male meridians.
Seeing the doubt in Lu Yuan He's eyes, he already understood in his heart.
Lu Yuan He did not know any martial arts, so she naturally did not know of the problem. Thinking about the other day, it was only because Qing Er was afraid that he might be able to change the meridian from the inner force that Lu Yuan He was unable to determine.
At that time, she was coughing so heavily, it was as if she had consumed a lot of her true qi.
Thinking about it, Yan Yuan's whole body started to hurt.
Recalling the cold words he had said to her before when he had not recognized her, and how he had almost twisted off her hand several times, Yan Yuan really wanted to beat himself up.
"I understand. Mr. Lu doesn't need to tell anyone about this."
"Yes."
Seeing that Yan Yuan's expression did not reveal the slightest bit of surprise and shock, Lu Yuan He thought that he should have already known about this from the beginning.
Realizing this, Lu Yuan He heaved a sigh of relief. He had always thought that the Prince had finally recovered from the feelings of the late princess, but who would have thought that the person who was currently unconscious on the bed was the late princess as they had described.
After Lu Yuan He left, Yan Yuan once again walked back to the bedside and sat down. Looking at this face that had finally made him feel a trace of an aura, his eyes were tinged with a sense of gratification, as well as an undetectable trace of gratitude and piety.
Her slender and clean hand gently caressed her face. From his mouth, one could hear an extremely light sigh, "You're finally back. This time, I won't let you escape."
Liu Ruo Qing slept very deeply and deeply, as if the sky had fallen down and she couldn't even wake her up.
When she slowly opened her eyes, it was already the evening of the second day. The blurry image that blocked her vision began to become clear little by little, and the first thing that entered her line of sight was Yan Yuan's sloppy face, which was so thin that the corners of his facial features became even more prominent.
Maybe because she hadn't spoken for a long time, she opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
"You're awake?"
That gentle and familiar voice also sounded beside his ears. It also had a hoarse voice that could not be ignored, as well as a tiredness that was revealed from that hoarse voice.
Yan Yuan's face became completely clear in front of her eyes. She nodded at him, but the softness in her eyes caused her eyes to feel a sharp pain.
After sleeping for ten or so days, her mind was still somewhat blurry at this time. The gaze she used to look at Yan Yuan with was also filled with bewilderment.
She held onto her hands, wanting to sit up. Seeing that, Yan Yuan immediately went forward to support her, carefully leaning on his body, "Be careful."
The familiar smell made Liu Ruo Qing feel extremely at ease.
She pointed to the table in front of them, then looked at Yan Yuan.
"You want some water?"
Yan Yuan asked, seeing Liu Ruo Qing nod his head, he said: "Alright, I will pour for you."
He carefully let her lean against the bed and quickly got up. He went to the table to pour her a cup of water, then helped her feed it. "Drink slowly."
As the warm water entered his mouth, Liu Ruo Qing felt that his dry mouth had finally become a little more comfortable. His throat was moist, and gradually, his originally vague memories began to become clear, little by little.
"Heng Er..."
She unconsciously shouted, and her entire person bounced out from Yan Yuan's embrace. She turned her head and grabbed Yan Yuan's hand, and asked: "Where's Heng Er? How is he? Is he all right, eh? "
"It's okay, it's okay. Don't worry, Heng Er is fine, I'll get the wet nurse to bring him over to you later."
Hearing that Heng Er was fine, Liu Ruo Qing relaxed her mind, and following that, she realised something, and her heart suddenly sank. She thought about how Yan Yuan was gentle to her, but the familiarity made her panic.
He … Know her?
The hand on top of the quilt quickly caressed her face. The human skin mask was still on her face. She was relieved and didn't think about anything illogical.
As Yan Yuan sat beside her, he naturally noticed her actions. The corner of his mouth slightly widened into a smile, somewhat helpless and somewhat bitter.
He knew that she didn't want him to know that she was still alive. Perhaps she was afraid that his survival would implicate him, or perhaps she was afraid that he wouldn't be able to accept her illness.
She was thinking about him everywhere, but there was nothing he could do about the pain she was experiencing.
He had helped her put on the human skin mask this morning. Since she didn't want him to know about her illness, then he would pretend that he didn't know.
He remembered that day when he had just found out about her illness, he had asked her if there was no one in this world she cared about as long as she had a thorough understanding of life and death?
What did she say?
No matter how many people he cared about, there was no way for him to be merciful. It would be better to not let him know and quietly walk away. He shouldn't be too sad …
At that time, he had always thought that it was because of Qin Xuan, but now, he knew that the person she was referring to was him.
Yan Yuan's heart was ruthlessly pricked. He furrowed his brows, his eyes filled with pity and powerlessness.
Seeing how relieved he was to find that she was still wearing her human skin mask on her face, he felt as if his heart had been scratched countless times. He was in so much pain that he didn't dare to breathe.
"Hungry? I'll get someone to bring some food over. "
Suppressing the pain in his heart, he looked down at Liu Ruo Qing and asked.
Liu Ruo Qing nodded. After being asked by Yan Yuan, she finally realised that she was hungry.
Yan Yuan gave her a faint smile, then stood up and left the room.
Liu Ruo Qing turned her head to the side, and looked at Yan Yuan's back figure that was walking out.
Even if she didn't let him know, she didn't dare to imagine how uncomfortable it would be for him to know that she was alive, yet she had that incurable illness.
After that, she thought about how her precious son had finally returned safely. Even if she were to die in the hands of the people from night gate that day, as long as her son returned safely, she would have no regrets in dying.
Yan Yuan returned not long after he left, carrying young son who was still dressed in thick clothes.
young son looked very happy, especially when he saw Liu Ruo Qing sitting on the bed. His clear eyes instantly lit up with delight.
