Chapter 95
She's dying? Lu Ziyan stared blankly at the girl sitting on the chair, who was so thin that she couldn't even hold up her plain clothes. He couldn't believe how things had come to this.
How could such a lively and lovely little girl become incurable just because of a cold?
What is depression in the internal organs, what is mental distress and premature death...
He doesn't believe it!
Just when Lu Ziyan was extremely panicked, Liu Manrou came in holding her one-year-old child.
Everything that happened afterwards seemed as if the whole world was playing a joke on him; it was ridiculous to the extreme.
Liu Manrou's ridicule, Er Qing's counterattack, his Wan Wan was knocked down by the servants...
Er Qing committed treason to protect her master, and the child in Liu Manrou's arms fell to the ground, and then another self appeared.
Everything happened too fast.
So much so that when his self in this world ordered Er Qing to be beaten to death, Lu Ziyan actually didn't hear it. All he could see was Xie Wan Ning who was being restrained by the servants.
"No! Let her go!" He collapsed and screamed, wanting to kill those who bullied her.
But it was no use, he could only watch her mouth being covered by a maid, bright red blood flowing out through the fingers of the old hands, his heart filled with panic.
She vomited blood?
Is she going to die?
Did he force her to death?
It was as if I was trapped in a nightmare from which I couldn't escape, and the whole world was falling apart.
He saw her finally break free from the maid's grip, and without even bothering to wipe the blood off her face, she went straight to Er Qing's body.
He saw her remorse and regret, and she had a sudden realization.
He saw that the other self was finally willing to turn around, finally saw her face covered in blood, and finally changed his expression.
"Wanwan, Wanwan!" The moment Xie Wanning fell to the ground, Lu Ziyan hurried over and hugged her in his arms. Only then did he realize how much weight this girl had lost.
The sweet and soft little girl was skinny and seemed weightless, but when he picked her up by the waist, he lost his balance and almost fell down.
Shaoguangyuan was in chaos.
Ming Jian flew to summon the court physician.
The doctor that Er Qing had invited from outside the house had not left yet, so she was dragged by Yuanzhu Yuanyue to have her pulse checked.
But it was too late.
The old doctor withdrew his hand tremblingly and shook his head.
He was so angry that his pulse stopped and he died.
Human life is the most tenacious and also the most fragile.
No one could have expected that the girl, who had been pampered and grown up in a honey pot and was in good health, would die suddenly two years after her marriage.
Lu Ziyan seemed to be stupid. He hugged the girl tightly in his arms and reached out to feel the pulse on her neck with a dull expression.
After a long while, he hastily withdrew his hand and shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, no, this is fake..."
Wanwan was angry and played a joke on him on purpose to scare him.
He already knew what fear was. He had never been so scared before. He was scared to death.
Lu Ziyan touched the thin back of the girl in his arms, his throat choked with sobs and he couldn't speak, "Please, wake up quickly."
But the girl's body temperature in my arms was slowly getting colder.
When the ladies of the Lu family arrived, Lu Ziyan was covered in blood, but he was holding Xie Wan Ning tightly in his arms, as if he was holding his own life. No one could get close to him.
The scene was tragic to the extreme.
Even Madam Lu couldn't get close.
Lu Ziyan was floating in the air, his eyes were bloodshot, his mind seemed to be beginning to collapse from the pain, he could personally experience all the emotions of his other self.
The soul seemed to be split in two, but this was not enough.
He wished he could cut the man below into pieces to make amends for his Wanwan.
Why on earth!
Why do this!
Why force her to death!
As if he could no longer endure such pain, Lu Ziyan fell to his knees and cried bitterly.
The picture froze here, as if a lens was hit, breaking into pieces of scattered light, rushing towards him.
That was his own memory, belonging to this world.
His own memory!
Lu Ziyan trembled all over and suddenly opened his eyes.
"The prince is awake!" the medical officer in charge of taking care of him shouted.
As soon as the outer hall became quiet, a large number of people rushed in.
Leading the way was His Majesty the Emperor in casual clothes.
He strode forward, and seeing that the man was really awake, his face relaxed slightly, and he said slowly, "Finally he's awake."
The emperor personally visited his beloved general who was in a coma. His attitude was cordial and his tone was gentle. This was an honor that no one else could ask for.
But Lu Ziyan just looked at him quietly, without standing up to greet him or even saying hello.
The imperial physician stepped forward to feel the patient's pulse, but was also avoided by raising his hand.
He propped himself up with his arms and sat up, his eyes falling on Ming Jian, "How long have I been unconscious?"
Ming Jian hesitated for a few breaths and said, "Three days and three nights."
Three days and nights……
Three days and three nights had passed since she got married...
Lu Ziyan felt a sweet taste in his throat and his expression changed for a while. Finally, he spat out a mouthful of blood amid the screams of several ladies of the Lu family.
The emperor was also startled and called the imperial physician to take his pulse.
"No need," Lu Ziyan lowered his eyes, ignoring the several Lu family ladies who gathered around him, and calmly ordered, "Everyone go down, I have something to discuss with His Majesty."
Although he has a cold and arrogant personality, he is always patient with his family. This is the first time that he has made his grandmother and mother worry for so long and that he did not speak to comfort them immediately after waking up.
Very abnormal.
Mrs. Lu's expression changed slightly as she was treated coldly by her son for the first time.
Old Madam Lu had experienced the pain of losing her husband and son throughout her life, and she valued her only grandson more than her own eyes, so she was unwilling to blame him.
The ladies sighed and were about to go out.
Lu Xiyao, who was supporting her grandmother, stepped forward and said anxiously, "Brother, what's wrong with you? Is a fickle woman worth your depression?"
"Xiyao!" Madam Lu shouted sternly.
"You guys don't dare to say it, so let me say it!"
Lu Xiyao didn't care and rushed to the bedside: "Xie Wan Ning played you in the palm of her hand, you should stand up and make her regret abandoning you, instead of just being angry with your family and chilling the hearts of your grandmother and mother, you...well..."
She was halfway through her words when Lu Ziyan grabbed her neck and pressed her down on the bed. The rest of the words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them at all.
"Stop it!" Madam Lu rushed over, "Yan'er! This is your sister, do you want to kill her?"
Lu Ziyan's eyes were deep, without any emotion at all. After tightening his palm for a moment, he suddenly threw the person in his hand away.
Lu Xiyao was thrown to the ground. She covered her neck and gasped. She put her feet on the ground, crawled backwards, and dared not say another word.
She could clearly sense that her brother, who had always loved her, really wanted to kill her.
He was going to kill her!For a moment, the room fell into an eerie silence.
Lu Ziyan leaned against the edge of the bed, turned his head and looked at these "family members" who were either blaming him or feeling sad, his eyes calm.
After a long while, he said calmly, "Everyone get out."
This time no one said anything to contradict them, and they all quickly left.
Apart from the emperor and Lu Ziyan, the only other person left was the eunuch chief Yuan Shu.
The emperor, who had been watching silently, had a complicated expression on his face. He had not expected that just because of the loss of a woman, the child he loved so much would change his temperament so drastically.
"There are no outsiders here, my dear, please just speak up if you have anything to say," said the emperor.
Lu Ziyan was silent for a while, then slowly raised his head and looked at him, "Can we let them divorce?"
"Ridiculous!" The emperor was furious, but looking at the man's eyes, he couldn't utter any more scolding.
"…What did you know?"
Lu Ziyan ignored his question and repeated, "Can they get divorced?"
"…Sir, I am not kidding. This is a marriage I personally granted." The emperor restrained his expression and said in a deep voice, "Please do not embarrass me."
You have no joke.
Lu Ziyan curled his lips and smiled coldly.
"Xie Wan Ning is my only bond in this life. As long as I am alive, I cannot accept her marrying another man."
"Whoever dares to touch her will touch my life."
His voice was calm, without a trace of murderous intent or anger, but it could send a chill down one's spine.
The emperor's face changed slightly. "Don't do anything reckless. Chang Qing controls the Sky Guards and is in charge of all the Khan's confidential information. If he hadn't been making arrangements in secret, the Khan would have been a bandit and would have occupied his territory."
No matter how high your fighting power is, you still have to know who to hit, right?
To distinguish right from wrong, loyalty from treachery, one needs to know more confidential information.
The spies of the Sky Guard are active in every state and county of the empire. If those provincial governors have any rebellious intentions, His Majesty the Emperor will be the first to get the news.
Nip the crisis in the bud.
Before Pei Changqing took over, the Qingtian Guards no longer had such great capabilities, and it was he who revitalized them bit by bit.
His abilities are so outstanding that the emperor cannot find anyone to replace him at the moment.
"There are so many beauties in the world. If you want, I can make you dazzled by the choices," the emperor said earnestly. "The girl from the Xie family is already married to someone else. Forget it."
His wife!
"She is my wife," Lu Ziyan cried out in grief, blood oozing from his teeth, and said ruthlessly, "If Pei Yuqing won't give it back to me, then I will go and snatch it back."
In short, he will never let her go in this life.
Regardless of right or wrong, as long as he lives, they will be entangled.
He wanted her to be someone else's wife...
impossible!
…………
Today is the day when Xie Wan Ning and her husband return home for the third day.
The main gate of the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion was wide open, and Xie Yanyu and his two cousins were waiting at the door.
As soon as Xie Wan Ning got out of the carriage, she saw her brother's cold and handsome face.
She let go of Pei Yuqing who was helping her get out of the car, lifted her skirt and trotted over, smiling at her brother, "You haven't seen me for a few days, do you miss me, brother?"
Pei Yuqing, who was following behind her, froze the smile on his lips when he heard this, and looked at the brother and sister in front of him silently.
Xie Yanyu lowered his eyes and looked at his lively and cheerful younger sister, and said helplessly: "You are already married, why are you still acting like a little girl?"
"Just because I'm married, does that mean I'm no longer your sister?" Xie Wan Ning snorted with some dissatisfaction.
"It's my sister." Xie Yanyu tapped her forehead with his finger, looked at the person behind her, and said softly, "Go in, Dad and Mom have been waiting for a long time."
Splendid Hall.
Xie Wan Ning and Pei Yuqing kowtowed to Xie Shu and Zheng at the top of the table.
Before her forehead touched the ground, Zheng waved and said, "Come here, Wanwan."
Once their darling little daughter, whom they held in the palm of their hands, got married, the family became much quieter with one less person in the house. One can imagine how reluctant Xie Shu and Zheng were to let her go.
After waiting for three days, my daughter finally came back. How could I wait any longer?
Xie Wan Ning stood up and walked towards her mother with a smile, "I miss you, too."
Xie Shu on the side snorted softly.
Xie Wan Ning suddenly felt blessed. She walked closer to him, raised her hand to serve him a cup of tea, and said earnestly, "Dad, please have some tea."
Xie Shu had a good relationship with his wife. Four years after the birth of his eldest son, he had a daughter. After that, Zheng had no more children.
As for this daughter, he really wanted to let her grow up in a honey pot. He personally taught her an education, held her on his lap and taught her how to write and hold a pen. He never even yelled at her.
When he was young, Xie Wan Ning was closer to his father than to his mother.
It’s just that girls tend to avoid their fathers when they grow up. After she turned ten, she only confided all her girlish thoughts to her mother. She was still close to her father, but they were no longer as close.
It was a sunny day today and the light in the house was very good. Xie Wan Ning could clearly see the white hair at his father's temples, and his nose suddenly felt sore.
She was wondering if those dreams were really from her previous life.
After she died, her parents learned of her death...
Xie Shu took the teacup offered by his daughter and drank it contentedly. When he looked up again, he was a little flustered. "What happened? Did you suffer injustice in the Pei family?"
Pei Yuqing, who was talking with his uncle and several cousins, looked slightly unhappy when he heard this.
"No," Xie Wan Ning hurriedly shook her head, and said guiltily, "I just feel that I am unfilial and cannot stay by your side all the time."
"That's enough. Our Wanwan has been obedient and sensible since she was young. How can she be unfilial?" Xie Shu patted her arm and said gently, "As long as you live well and don't worry your parents too much, that's enough."
Xie Wan Ning sniffed and nodded slightly.
After meeting the elders of the family, Pei Yuqing was called by several men from the Xie family to the front hall to chat, while Xie Wan Ning stayed in Jinxiu Hall.
There were only a few female relatives left in the hall. The aunt sat with them for a while, chatting for a few words, then said she was going to keep an eye on the banquet for the new son-in-law, and left with her daughter.
Leave a place for the mother and daughter to talk.
There was no one else in the room. Zheng looked at her daughter's tender and pretty face and said sympathetically, "On the wedding day, that lunatic broke into the bridal chamber. Were you scared?"
Xie Wan Ning was stunned for a moment, holding the brocade bag on his waist with his fingers, hesitating for a few breaths, and said: "I have made it clear to him. If he can hear what people say, he should not bother me anymore in the future."
She still didn't say that it was Pei Yuqing who deliberately let the person in.
Pei Yuqing's action seemed to disregard her reputation. If they knew the whole story, they would probably be angry again.
She didn't want to worry her parents anymore.
Zheng sneered upon hearing this, "If he had listened to others, he wouldn't have done such a thing as breaking into the bridal chamber at night. If it were the custom of the previous dynasty, my son..."
She didn't tell anyone else.
But Xie Wan Ning knew that if it were the previous dynasty where the moral code was strict, a woman's reputation would be above all else.
She was afraid that she would need a white silk scarf to hang herself that very night to prove her innocence.
But Lu Ziyan is just that kind of person. He only cares about his own happiness and doesn't care about other people's feelings.
