"Medicine!" Without waiting for Imperial Physician Fang to finish speaking, Yuwen He coldly interrupted his words and ordered. If he really wanted to choose between her and the child, the answer was obvious.
"I won't take any medicine!" Xiao Ruyue used his only remaining strength to firmly grip his hand tightly.
She did not dare sleep, barely maintaining her consciousness, and forced a smile at Yuwen He who was sitting by the bed, forcing out words from her throat, "Don't worry, it's fine."
"You!" The temperature of her hands were extremely hot, Yuwen He gritted her teeth and shouted angrily, "Imperial Physician Fang, where's the medicine!"
"I won't eat Yuwen He." Xiao Ruyue squeezed out those words with great difficulty. Every word that came out of his mouth was as sharp as a knife.
Her head was getting heavier and heavier, and there was always a force pulling her into the darkness.
There was something in his head that was trying desperately to break out of the prison, and it hurt like his head was being torn apart.
With great difficulty, she forced herself not to close her eyes, and tightly gripped onto Yuwen He with her fingertips. "Don't let me, hate you!"
Yuwen He's face turned dark and gloomy.
Xiao Ruyue stared at him, and wanted to say something, but she couldn't squeeze out a single word. Instead, she felt that her eyelids were growing heavier and heavier, and the figure in front of him started to blur.
Someone was clearly speaking by her ear, but she heard a buzzing sound, and Yuwen He's voice was also blurry, low and muffled. He could vaguely hear the words' medicine 'and' alcohol '. He wanted to hear them clearly, but he was unable to do so.
The color in front of his eyes was getting darker and darker. From the color of the rainbow, it was gradually becoming faint. In front of his eyes, everything was pitch-black.
Just like that, she fell into the endless darkness.
After an unknown period of time, she regained consciousness.
His body lightly floated into the air, as if his soul had left his body.
Her body became lighter and lighter, gradually landing on a lonely island. She followed the wind and landed in front of a cave. The cave was pitch black, and even though she didn't want to go forward, she was pulled by a mysterious force.
Suddenly, there was a flash of light in front of her. She was caught completely off guard. Her head was in pain and the flowing water image had finally broken out of its confinement.
The long sealed memories were like scenes in a dream, flooding in all at once.
So it turned out that those dreams were not only dreams.
That was all that really happened.
Pain. His entire body felt sore and painful, as if something had grinded him. Especially his head, which was aching the most.
When Xiao Ruyue woke up from the chaos, the deepest feeling she felt was pain. She suddenly opened her eyes and sat up, but because she could not use any strength on her body, she fell back.
Her actions startled Yuwen He, who was napping by his bed. He also woke up abruptly, and when he saw Xiao Ruyue wake up, his jet black eyes shone brightly, as if they were stars that had been crushed.
"You're awake!"
"I …" Xiao Ruyue's mind was still blank. She opened her mouth to speak, but the dryness in her throat prevented her from making too many sounds. She could only squeeze out one word, "Water …"
Yuwen He hurriedly poured a cup of water and helped her feed it, he couldn't even bear to part from her. Seeing that she was still thirsty after drinking it, he immediately poured another cup and fed it to her.
After drinking three cups consecutively, the dryness and astringency in Xiao Ruyue's throat finally eased up slightly.
"Are you still thirsty?" Yuwen He asked nervously.
She shook her head and Yuwen He put down the cup. He moved closer to her forehead and looked at it for a bit, and then sighed a breath of relief. "Thank God, you know, you slept all day and all night."
A bunch of images suddenly popped up in Xiao Ruyue's chaotic mind, and all the memories she had before fainting flooded back into her mind. Her expression changed drastically, "Where's the child! "You …"
She subconsciously touched her lower abdomen. The slight curve of her belly caused her heart to tighten and her vision to blur. "So, you still drank some medicine in the end?"
There was a sob in his voice, a sob.
Yuwen He remained silent.
"Pata." Crystal teardrops fell on the back of his hand.
Xiao Ruyue slowly raised her head and wiped her tears away. With teary eyes, she looked at Yuwen He, "I had a dream. What do you think I dreamed? "
"Did you see me in your dreams?" Yuwen He lightly pulled at the corner of his mouth, his expression a little forced.
"Yes, my dreams are full of you." Xiao Ruyue mischievously blinked her eyes. Her eyelashes lightly flashed, and tears continued to flow down her cheeks.
Yuwen He saw guilt and concern in her eyes.
After a long time.
Only then did Yuwen He find his voice. "You, remembered everything?"
"Yes." I remember everything. "
"Then …"
"Why did you infiltrate the Wei Wang Manor that year?" Xiao Ruyue interrupted him, her attitude unusually calm.
He paused for a moment, then laughed, "Youngsters are too arrogant. Moreover, there are some things that you have to do."
Xiao Ruyue did not continue asking, but her heart was still clogged up and she changed the question, "When I woke up at that time, I had already returned home, so why would I forget about everything? Including the fact that you were hit by a few arrows.
Yuwen He caressed her hair and smiled lovingly, "Tang Jingzhi helped you pull out the arrow, but you were always in high fever and had endless nightmares. "He said, you were frightened, and you couldn't accept some things. In the end, there was nothing you could do, so I got him to give you the Wangyou Powder."
He paused for a moment before calmly uttering the last three words.
Xiao Ruyue only felt an unforgettable pain in his chest as if an arrow had pierced through it.
After her injury, it took her a month of rest at home to recover. She had forgotten everything. She had even forgotten how she got hurt.
Yuwen Chenglian had told her that she had been accidentally injured while hunting him, but his injuries were too severe and he was too hot to retreat. Thus, he had forgotten about that matter and thus postponed the wedding date.
She always believed that man was a good person in her life, and that she would definitely marry him and join hands with him until their hair turned white.
"So, because you were afraid that I wouldn't be able to accept the truth, you decided to give me up to that beast Yuwen Chenglian?"
Yuwen He was startled, and looked at her in disbelief.
"I said, I remember." Xiao Ruyue clenched her fist, gritted her teeth, and held back her sobs.
"I heard what you said then, what you thought I couldn't hear."
"So you heard it all." The starlight in Yuwen He's eyes dimmed a lot, "At that time, I won't hurt myself."
Seeing that she was clenching her fists tighter, Yuwen He nervously held her hand, "You can anger me, but don't hurt yourself. "My heart hurts."
Xiao Ruyue barely held back the tears in her eyes as they once again crumbled. She threw herself into Yuwen He's embrace and wailed, "Why, why?"
Why did you hide so much from me? In the end, even the children …
One fist after another smashed onto Yuwen He's back. He remained silent and allowed her to vent.
After a long time.
After a long time.
Only when Xiao Ruyue no longer had the strength did she collapse into Yuwen He's embrace.
However, he did not seem to be in pain. Instead, he smiled as he embraced her and wiped the sweat off her face with the sleeves of his shirt. He did not care how much manpower and resources were required for that sleeve alone.
If he didn't look closely, he would have ignored the slight pain in his eyes.
Or guilt, or struggle.
"Actually, I wanted to go to the Xiao family to propose, but you were already engaged at that time, so father forbade it, and old madam forbade it."
His voice was so calm that even he could hardly believe it.
He could only blame himself for compromising at that time, and in the end, watching the Elder Sister Xiao enter into the tiger's den. He hated himself even more for not being able to expose Yuwen Chenglian's fake mask earlier!
Xiao Ruyue trembled, she did not even know that these things had happened before.
"Are you still uncomfortable?" I'll ask Yin Lin and Lu Yi to prepare some hot water for you. It'll be more comfortable if you wash the sweat off your body. " Yuwen He obviously did not want to continue this topic, so he was able to easily change the topic.
Just as he was about to get up, Xiao Ruyue grabbed his arm, "I've been unconscious for one day and one night, are you also watching over me for one day and one night?"
Yuwen He smiled and patted the back of her hand, this smile seemed to be comforting her, "I will ask them to prepare some hot water."
His expression made it impossible to tell that he had not slept for a day and a night. Other than the wisps of blood in his eyes.
Xiao Ruyue's heart was tangled, she could not bear to blame herself.
She did not stop him.
He didn't deny it, so be it.
She did not wake, and he did not sleep.
This was him.
She would never have thought that Yuwen He would actually use a Wangyou Powder on her.
She had even naively used Wangyou Powder s on him, but she didn't expect that this move was left over from him playing.
If it wasn't for her being in a high fever today and completely breaking her shackles, wouldn't she be unable to recall this past for the rest of her life? He never said a word.
Just how many more secrets was Yuwen He hiding that she did not know about? Were there many more such secrets?
For example, the secret that both he and Tang Jingzhi knew about, that even Big Sister Ya Yin knew nothing about, was running out of time.
Xiao Ruyue laid on the bed for a long time, unwilling to move. She didn't have much energy on him, and it was indeed sticky and uncomfortable.
As she lay there, she could smell the scent of wine and medicine on her body besides the smell of sweat. 'Huh?! This smell isn't … '
She was stunned for a moment.
After a long while, Yuwen He came back again. It was probably him who had given the orders. He came back and saw that she was still lying down, he helplessly covered her with the blanket and tucked his in, "Go sleep again, when the hot water is ready, Yin Lin will wake you up."
Xiao Ruyue called out to him, "Who are you rushing to meet?"
Yuwen He paused for a moment, then smiled indifferently: "It's nothing important, I'll be right back."
Xiao Ruyue's words were about to reach her mouth but she did not say it. Instead, she nodded her head obediently, "Mn, you are tired too. Come back early and rest. "
"Yes." Yuwen He kissed her forehead and then left.
Not long after, Yin Lin came in.
She looked at Xiao Ruyue with a strange gaze. Xiao Ruyue was very intelligent, how could she not feel it?
"It seems like you know all the things that you shouldn't have." Xiao Ruyue looked at her calmly.
Yin Lin nodded blankly, yet shook her head.
Xiao Ruyue's gaze turned cold, "When I slept in a daze, did you say I was dreaming?"
"Yes."
"Then what did I say?"
Yin Lin wanted to say something but hesitated, "This …"
Xiao Ruyue's eyes turned, and said: "Lu Yi should also be here, let her in."
Yin Lin quickly said: "No! Empress, Lu Yi wasn't here at that time. "
Seeing that he could not keep the truth from her, Yin Lin could only call her in, "This is how it happened."
