Sun Yi Lin’s Matter, Returning to the Capital (1)
Having obtained his master’s order, Gong Jiu naturally will fully carry it out, and eliminating the gu in Sun Yi Lin’s body was also one of his tasks.
In winter, the wounds didn’t have signs of swelling and festering, but a high fever still appeared. If a relatively mediocre doctor, then probably will directly let others prepare the funeral arrangements, but Gong Jiu ultimately wasn’t the same. In addition to obtaining the old traveling doctor’s medical book that contained his many years of experience in practicing medicine, perhaps Gong Jiu didn’t exceed a mortal, becoming a sage, but at least, in this world, afraid there won’t be many that can be on an equal level with him. Even so, when treating Sun Yi Lin, he still spent quite some effort, but the final outcome was still satisfying.
Min Xiao Yuan stayed by the side from beginning to end. Matters such as drawing water and handing over things were all done by her. A noble daughter from an influential family, these things, can one even count on her to do well? Although clumsy, Gong Jiu didn’t press her either. In any case, it was nothing more than just spending a bit more time. These things, if Min Xiao Yuan doesn’t do, even count on others to come do?
Min Xiao Yuan also knew this. That’s why, she can only clench her teeth and persevere, and she even needed to be as quick as possible. If slow, then it will just hold up Sun Yi Lin’s treatment.
As such, when Gong Jiu said the words, ‘he’s saved’, she firmly relaxed a breath, repeatedly thanking. The her at this time really wasn’t the least bit like some influential family’s noble daughter.
The so called love, can it really have a person changed to this degree? Gong Jiu actually had this kind of small doubt inside. However, he won’t go look into, because his two masters were actually the modeled example of this. Of course, Gong Jiu also didn’t have the thought of wanting to try it. However, when encountering the right person at the right time, he also won’t reject.
Min Xiao Yuan clumsily took care of Sun Yi Lin. Fortunately, in this inn, she didn’t need to personally make a fire and prepare food. They wouldn’t go as far as to make things difficult for her on this kind of matter. And in reality, on the other matters, it was nothing more than just not having anyone serve Sun Yi Lin. If she had money, she actually can completely hire someone from the outside, but the problem was that she didn’t have money. She once had large amounts of money, but it all wasn’t on her. Ever since getting ‘separated’ from the people serving her, she was just penniless.
Sun Yi Lin slept for another day before finally waking up. And at this time, the gu in him had already gotten removed, just leaving behind a small scar on his face. That was what was truly left behind by the fire. Actually, it wasn’t very obvious, so naturally it didn’t have a scary look.
Towards his own body’s changes, Sun Yi Lin naturally was clear. However, he didn’t go verify, instead quietly staring at Min Xiao Yuan who was sleeping not that peacefully by the bedside. His feelings were very complicated. Sun Yi Lin believed that in this world, there wasn’t anyone that made him feel completely remorseful, including Jing Wan, and including his own mother, but only towards Min Xiao Yuan………
Min Xiao Yuan, seemingly sensing something, suddenly woke up from her dream, meeting with Sun Yi Lin’s eyes, “You’re awake? That’s great!” The joy expressed in her words. Shortly after, she hurriedly went to bring over the simmering medicine, carefully feeding Sun Yi Lin spoon by spoon.
Sun Yi Lin very much cooperated, and after drinking the medicine, he also drank some water to rinse his mouth.
“I’ll go call Doctor Gong over for a look.” As she said this, she got up again.
“Xiao Yuan, sit down. Right now, I’m quite well, so no need to go call. Talk with me for a bit.”
Min Xiao Yuan was somewhat doubtful. How can it be well? However, Sun Yi Lin’s gaze was firm, so she could only obediently sit down. No matter what, the patient was the greatest.
However, Sun Yi Lin didn’t speak, his line of sight sweeping past Min Xiao Yuan’s forehead, hands, clothes, and hair one by one. Without even needing to ask, he just knew what might have happened.
Min Xiao Yuan pursed her lips, a bit uneasiness under Sun Yi Lin’s stare, “About that, your face actually…..” Trying to find something to say when having nothing to say.
“It’s fine, not that big of a deal. Xiao Yuan, you wish for me to live, right?” Sun Yi Lin softly opened his mouth, actually having a bit of that former gentle like jade feeling.
TN: All
“Of course.” Even if getting hurt very deeply by Sun Yi Lin, she still didn’t wish for him to die.
“You should know, this isn’t too possible. They won’t let me live.”
“Of course not, of course not, if they really want to let you die, then her Highness wouldn’t have pleaded with Jin Qinwang, and also wouldn’t have let Doctor Gong come treat you. Her Highness wangfei is very good, really.” Min Xiao Yuan looked to him, very much sincere. Just, she still had an unconcealable worry. Although trying to convince Sun Yi Lin, but how was she not also convincing herself.
Silly, the reason why he was still alive was merely because of Jin Wangfei considering on the behalf of her deep feelings. It had nothing to do with he himself. Prior to him having that arrow shot towards the two of them, perhaps there was still a tiny bit of possibility, but after that arrow, afraid Jin Wangfei hated that she can’t skin him alive. Right now, he was very clearheaded, also having everything viewed very transparently.
“Right now, go ask Jin Qinwang, just say I want to meet him, see whether or not he will see me. If he’s willing, then in this way right now, even if I crawl before him, it will still be discourteous, so ask whether or not he can lower his status and come here, or perhaps send two people to have me carried over.” Sun Yi Lin calmly said.
Min Xiao Yuan’s two hands were on her knees, clenching her clothes. Her tears once again accumulated in her eyes, her lips trembling.
“Don’t cry, and don’t be afraid, relax, I won’t die.” Sun Yi Lin consoled her.
Min Xiao Yuan wiped her eyes, getting up to go to the upper room.
Would Li Hong Yuan lower himself for Sun Yi Lin’s sake? Obviously not.
Sun Yi Lin got ‘supported’ over to the upper room. Of course, it far wasn’t as rough as he’d thought.
Min Xiao Yuan was uneasy, so just followed over. However, it was obvious that she won’t be able to enter, so she could only fretfully wait outside.
Since both his arms and legs were injured, Sun Yi Lin got placed in a chair. Seeing that Jing Wan was also present, he wasn’t the least bit surprised. Just, this time, he didn’t even glance at her once.
Jing Wan and Li Hong Yuan were playing chess, or rather Li Hong Yuan was keeping her company. Jing Wan’s chess skills were limited. Li Hong Yuan playing with her was practically just playing around, but for Jing Wan, it wasn’t that relaxing. However, she wasn’t really racking her brains on every move, playing relatively carefreely. Towards his own wife, Li Hong Yuan certainly won’t be ‘ruthless’, and for the most part, just followed after Jing Wan’s every move. Although still having the upper hand, but judging from the chessboard, it was also just fifty-one versus forty-nine.
The two of them both didn’t speak, so Sun Yi Lin also maintained absolute silence, lowering his eyes, like as if sleeping.
“Looks like, you’re clearheaded now.” Unknown as to how long, Li Hong Yuan finally magnanimously opened his mouth.
Sun Yi Lin lifted his head, his eyes tranquil, “I’ve always been clearheaded.” He was clearly aware of everything he has done, and everything he has said. However, thinking back on it now, it was also like standing from an outsider’s perspective watching his other self doing everything. The feeling was a bit strange. However, having done it was just having done it, nothing worth explaining.
Seeing him like this, Jing Wan slightly narrowed her eyes. This was ultimately having too good of a temperament, knowing that some things have already happened, so just shouldered what should be shouldered, calmly facing, or really just rotten from the roots, unwilling to change? She originally thought that after getting rid of the gu, he would at least feel regretful towards his actions. Sure enough, she had this world viewed too beautifully?
Yet, it just so happens that the current Sun Yi Lin’s temperament was very close to that former Gentleman Sun.
Originally, towards Sun Yi Lin’s change, Jing Wan was still a bit curious, but now, all her curiosity was gone. And that resentment in her heart, after deciding to have Sun Yi Lin turned into a fool, also just diluted a lot. However, for someone as prideful as Sun Yi Lin, he probably would rather die. If his choice were to be ‘better a bad life than a good death’, then aside from suspecting her eyesight in the past, seeing a prideful person turn into a fool, she probably would also produce a bit of satisfaction inside. However, this possibility wasn’t big, else previously, he would’ve just escaped.
That’s why, Jing Wan felt that Min Xiao Yuan perhaps was just an excuse, and that her idea, the motive wasn’t good either, harboring quite the deep malice.
“You wanting to meet this prince, what is it for?” Li Hong Yuan wasn’t interested in wasting his breath with him.
“Hoping wangye can be lenient and spare my life. I can do anything.”
Saying something like this really made one extremely surprised. Li Hong Yuan and Jing Wan glanced at one another, “Even if becoming a fool?”
Sun Yi Lin’s expression finally had a trace of change, but it wasn’t very obvious, and didn’t last for very long. He turned his head, seemingly having his line of sight casted outwards. A moment later, “Not impossible.” His voice was very light, yet also very firm.
Jing Wan suddenly understood. He chose to live, even willing to become a fool, not for himself, but merely because someone wished for him to live. That’s why, he will live, even if in that kind of humiliating way. Just don’t know whether it was because he produced feelings towards Min Xiao Yuan, or out of guilt towards Min Xiao Yuan, or perhaps some other reason.
However, right now, no matter what kind of decision Sun Yi Lin makes, it all won’t be able to affect Jing Wan in the slightest anymore.
Since what needs to be said was already said, there was no reason in ‘keeping the guest’.
“Prior to leaving, don’t know whether or not one can say a few words to wangfei?” Once these words came out, Li Hong Yuan’s complexion was just a bit unpleasant. However, Sun Yi Lin wasn’t afraid to die either, not batting an eye.
“What do you want to say?” Jing Wan asked.
It was obvious that he won’t say anything universally shocking. Even if not afraid of death, a smart person also won’t rashly court death. This was two completely different concept.
Sun Yi Lin looked directly at her, but his eyes were very clean and upright, not containing excessive thoughts, “The previous matter, sorry, some words, don’t take to heart. At that time, although consciously aware, I wasn’t able to control myself too well. I heard that Baiyi clan’s gu, regardless of which type, over the last millennium, even if semi-complete, there will still be all kinds of symptoms, let alone a completed gu. The love-locking gu’s effect, when it comes to aggressiveness, can rank in the top three among all the gu. To be able to not get controlled by it, one absolutely won’t be an ordinary person. Perhaps, it’s also because of having deep feelings. Reality proved that regardless whether or not wangye has calculated and schemed in many ways on your matter, at the very least, he is a good husband. Just based on this bit, not many can compare with him. Even I myself, can’t guarantee that I can accomplish this. Even an ordinary gu was too hard to suppress. If switched with the love-locking gu, it probably won’t be a good outcome.”
T/N: A part of me finds it kinda funny that he doesn’t feel apologetic about trying to kill Li Hong Yuan.
