The house was eerily quiet.
Wei Lian stared at the large bruise and held Ji Yue's hand tightly.
How could he not see that this was not a bump, it was clearly... a symptom of contracting the plague.
Ji Yue has never been to Qingping County, nor has he had contact with relevant personnel. He has been with him all these days, how could he get sick
Wei Lian was about to veto this possibility, but he knew in his heart that it might not.
Ji Yue was out of his sight too many times.
When he went to listen to people reporting on official business, when he gave Zhou Xiaoshan acupuncture, when he slept peacefully at night... He had so much time without being with Ji Yue.
Ji Yue can go to Qingping County behind his back.
"...Have you been to Qingping County?" Wei Lian asked after a long while.
Ji Yue lowered her eyes and did not answer.
Wei Lian stubbornly tugged at his sleeve, his voice slightly cold: "Answer me."
Ji Yue was silent for a long time and nodded lightly.
Wei Lian was so angry that he wanted to hit him for a moment.
"I told you not to join in the fun!" Wei Lianhen gave him a stern look, then turned and left, "I'll give you a decoction."
The prescription for the plague already exists, and Ji Yue is young and strong, so he will be fine.
Ji Yue looked up at Wei Lian's hurrying back, hesitated to say anything, but finally said nothing.
Wei Lian put on the face towel, and put the medicine bowl in front of Ji Yue angrily: "Drink it."
Ji Yue sat on the chair and drank the medicine obediently.
Wei Lian asked, "Who else have you met in these days?"
"No." Ji Yue drank the medicine, put down the bowl, and said, "I've only seen you."
Wei Lian looked at him: "Why are you running out so well? I have persisted for so long, and finally I have persisted until now... If you were infected, I would have nowhere to cry."
He said these words calmly, but there was an unspeakable sourness and grievance in his heart.
...he's doing his best to survive. Fighting against the so-called fate, surviving without any risk until now, and wanting to spend a lifetime with this person in front of me.
He didn't want to lose everything.
What if he is sick too? What if his illness won't get better
Ji Yue... You knew I was going to die, why did you go out? Why can't you...
Can't think for me.
Ji Yue paused: "you'll be fine."
Wei Lian coldly choked back: "How do you know nothing will happen? The plague doesn't recognize people."
Ji Yue shut up.
Wei Lian was annoyed, Ji Yue was ill, and he was the most worried.
"You're not allowed to go out these days." Wei Lian said without doubt, "I'll give you medicine until you get better. We'll be separated for a few days." ."
Taking care of Ji Yue cannot be left to others. Ji Yue is the king, and the fact that he contracted the plague must not be known by outsiders. If it is used by people with a heart to make a big fuss, it will shake the foundation of the country.
The best result is that before everyone finds out that something is wrong, Ji Yue will recover, as if nothing happened.
Ji Yue lowered his eyes, but still didn't say a word.
Sleepless nights.
The next day, Wei Lian came in with the medicine and knocked on Ji Yue's door.
After a while, the door was opened, Ji Yue stood at the door, his face was pale, and his body seemed to be thinner.
Wei Lian frowned after only one glance: "Is it better today?"
It stands to reason that patients with mild symptoms only need to take the medicine once, and they will not be serious the next day. If they drink it for three consecutive days, the disease will be completely cured.
Ji Yue was speechless.
Wei Lian didn't ask any more questions, and directly pulled Ji Yue's arm.
"… "
The medicine bowl in his hand shattered.
how come…
The bruises from yesterday have not subsided, and have even deteriorated to such a degree that they will bleed with a slight scratch, and are spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It spreads far faster than the average patient, and the symptoms are more severe.
Medicine is useless.
Wei Lian froze for a moment, looked at the arm, and suddenly a huge panic rose.
Ji Yue said in a hoarse voice, "Alian..."
"...Maybe the medicine didn't take effect so quickly." Wei Lianhun murmured reluctantly, "I'll study it again."
The young man turned around and left, his back was a little rushed.
Ji Yue moved his lips, trying to get him to stop doing useless work, but he couldn't say it for a long time.
He looked down at his horrific arm, the hand that used to hold the gun and the sword, but now can't use any strength.
so fast
Ji Yue thought in a trance.
Fortunately, he can still hold a pen.
At sunset, Wei Lian reappeared with a tired look on his face.
He flipped through thousands of books in one day, but still couldn't find the answer that the decoction was ineffective against Ji Yue. Although the plague killed many people, it was either due to the shortage of medicinal materials that did not wait for the medicine, or because they were too old and infirm to survive.
Ji Yue doesn't account for both, he doesn't understand why.
It happened so suddenly that Wei Lian still couldn't believe it. But time waits for no one, he must find a way to save Ji Yue.
But when he opened the door, the room was empty.
Wei Lian's eyes sank instantly.
He searched the room, only to find a piece of letterhead pressed under the inkstone.
On the top is Ji Yue's big characters of walking dragon and snake, but it is not as strong and powerful as before, and the edge of the pen even trembles a little.
I love Alian:
If you suffer from a serious disease alone, you are afraid that your life will be soon, and you are the only one who cares about this life.
Ah Lian has the talent to govern the world, and the life of the real dragon, the people of Jiangshan have given you to you from now on, and I believe that you will be able to become a famous emperor through the ages, and you will be remembered in the history. Gu has given you the military talisman and secret orders, Xie Chen will be loyal to you, and everything in Yongping has paved the way for you. The rest of the obstacles, with your ability, will be able to clear.
I do not believe in ghosts and gods, but I hope to have an afterlife with you. It's hard to tell. Love is fixed for three lives, the red thread wraps around the finger, and I only hope that it will continue in the next life.
Wei Lian, I love you till death.
Ji Yue's excellent writing
The ninth day of June in the thirteenth year of King Chang of Qin
Wei Lian stared at this piece of paper for a long time. He knew every word on it, but when he put it together, he couldn't understand the meaning.
What does Ji Yue mean
what is this
Have you read the book too much
… who wants what to be born.
What are the talismans and secret orders? When was it given? How could he not know.
Wei Lian suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly pulled out the two delicate gadgets he carried with him.
A copper beast with a tiger's head and a tiger's head, a brand with complicated patterns.
These are all things Ji Yue gave him some time ago. Ji Yue gave him strange things every day in those days, Wei Lian didn't think much about it and accepted them all.
But it turned out to be the secret order of the generals and the secret guards.
Is Ji Yue crazy? Are you really planning to give Jiangshan to him
Wei Lian lowered his eyes and suddenly stopped thinking.
The letter also said that Ji Yue had paved the way for him in Yongping, and even the edict of the Zen seat had already been prepared.
That was two months ago.
Did Ji Yue expect to get sick today two months ago
He started deploying from that early...
Wei Lian immediately turned around and rushed out the door.
He has to go to Ji Yue to ask clearly.
Jiangzhou is so big, Wei Lian doesn't know where Ji Yue is.
But it seemed that he had a sense of his own, so Wei Lian subconsciously ran to the bridge where he and Ji Yue reunited.
The golden reeds float, and the river flows endlessly.
As beautiful as the setting sun of blood, it is terrifying.
Wei Lian walked across the bridge and stood in front of an abandoned hut.
Across a door, he could feel the breath of someone inside.
Wei Lian said, "Ji Yue."
"I know you're in there."
There was no movement in the house.
Wei Lian whispered, "You open the door, and we'll make it clear."
No one spoke.
Wei Lian suppressed and gritted his teeth: "What do you mean by those words? Ji Yue, how much did you hide from me?"
There was silence.
Wei Lian smiled sarcastically: "Okay, you won't see me until you die."
"A Lian." Ji Yue's hoarse voice finally came from behind the door, "...I dare not see you."
"I don't want to be seen by you now." Ji Yue's voice was hoarse, and his once beautiful voice became weak, "I'm afraid to scare you."
In the dilapidated hut, the young man in red leaned against the dusty wall, his long hair scattered, covering half of his face.
His phoenix eyes drooped slightly, and the half of his face was beautiful and enchanting, while the other half, which was covered by blue silk, was like a ghost, so ugly that he could not be seen.
The rot has spread to the face, destroying the face that once amazed the world.
The whole arm became horrible to watch, and the blood was meandering down, dripping onto the slender and beautiful hand, the amulet held in the palm of the red palm.
That's what Wei Lian once gave him.
"Do you want to hide here alone and wait to die?" Wei Lian's eyes blushed, and suddenly there was a cry, "I thought we could be honest with each other until now... but you always hide a lot of things from me. "
"Wills, epidemics, military talismans, secret orders..." Wei Lianzhuang listed them one by one, trying his best to hold back his choking, "You have managed everything, but you won't tell me anything."
"Now even if you die, you have to avoid me."
"You are so wishful thinking for me, you have asked me if I want it or not!"
With his forehead against the door, he lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "Ji Yue, I'm tired."
He closed his eyes and shed a tear: "I can't break your heart."
"... I'm sorry, Alian." Ji Yue covered his mouth and coughed a few times, the blood in his palms getting brighter.
He paused for a while before continuing: "I once said that I only believe in human life, but do not believe in people's hearts."
"I am a person with a broken personality. The more I like something, the more I am afraid of losing something. I always want to use external force to tie up the things I love so that they can't go far." Ji Yue laughed at himself, "The person I love , I will die with him. If I die, he will be buried with him. If he rebels, I will shoot him with my own hands."
"People in the world call me cruel, but it's not a slander." Ji Yue smiled bleakly, "Alian, I'm just such a... a monster."
"The antidote I gave you is fake." Ji Yue closed his eyes, "Before I loved you, I was afraid that you would hurt me, and after I loved you, I was afraid that you would leave me. I lied to you, and the antidote doesn't need to be taken for a while. Nian... I just made an excuse not to let you go."
"The real antidote is in the bottle I gave you a few days ago." The bloodstain spread to the ground, Ji Yue paused, and his voice became softer.
"... Wei Lian, I'll let you go."
bottle.
Wei Lian looked down at the small and exquisite blue-and-white porcelain vase, opened it, and saw a small pill inside.
When Ji Yue gave it to him, he once said with a smile that this is the bottle of Yangzhi nectar from Guanyin, and a drop of water can save a life.
Ji Yue gave him too many things in those days, and he didn't even think about opening the bottle.
It was the antidote he had always wanted.
It turned out to be a life saver.
Ji Yue, you are really well prepared.
Wei Lian was silent for a long time before he said lightly, "Do you think I don't know that the antidote you gave me earlier was fake?"
"… "
"I'm a genius doctor." Wei Lian laughed lightly, "Even if the real antidote can't be researched, I won't even know if it's true or not."
"I know you have a heart disease, and I am willing to wait for the day when you untie the knot."
"What I've been waiting for is that you don't say a word, are you going to die for me?!" Wei Lian sneered, "Ji Yue, don't think too much of beauty."
thumping!
The dilapidated door panel was knocked down by the palm wind with internal force, and it was caught in the dust and the setting sun in a room.
The cold-faced young man in white clothed himself with the glow of the rays of the sun, causing the young man in red in the house to raise his eyes in surprise, and then remembering that his face was completely ruined, he hurriedly turned his head away.
Wei Lian walked in and crouched down in front of Ji Yue.
Ji Yue's right arm was already bloody and bloody, and even that face became hideous and terrifying.
Wei Lian looked at him calmly: "Ji Yue, you are very good, you are so thoughtful, who wouldn't be moved when you hear it?"
"But don't say anything to let me go. It's so grand and high-sounding, I just thought it was a joke."
"Have I agreed to take the throne? Why should I look after your country and people for you? I'm not as righteous as you, if it weren't for you, I should have been in the mountains and rivers, and the world will be free for me, why bother to get into the cage Picking up this hot potato? I, Wei Lian, have only served myself all my life, never thought of serving the country and the people, so I am so selfish!"
"... You taught me the responsibility, brought me to see the world, and showed me those fireworks."
"You drag me down from the sky, how can you lock me here alone."
"Why did you let me go, you want me to remember you for the rest of my life..." Wei Lian laughed, "Ji Yue, you only bullied me because I loved you..."
His eyes were misty and sparkling, and he held back his vibrato, "I won't do what you want. Ji Yue, I won't do what you want."
He calmly crushed the antidote and turned it into powder in front of Ji Yue, word by word.
"You don't want to leave me."
