The people in the Imperial Hospital really had no way of treating Xie Ke's illness. Even though they were scolded by the Emperor, they just couldn't save him.
During this period, the Xie family had posted notices outside, seeking medical treatment for a large sum of money. Many people responded to the notice, but there were only a few useful doctors.
In the residence of General Zhongyong, Xie Lin knew that Nong Yu was Xie Ke's confidant and not just a servant, so he handed over most of the matters in the courtyard to him, in case someone in the residence wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to have any inappropriate thoughts. Nong Yu was very busy during this period, as he had to take care of Xie Ke and find a doctor for him, and he also had to be careful about others entering Xie Ke's room and hearing anything they shouldn't hear.
Xie Ke often called Fu Zhiyu's name when he was in a coma. Fortunately, he drank the medicine and fell into a deep sleep on the day when the emperor came, so he didn't say these three words in front of him. Recently, Nong Yu pushed Xie Lin away in the name of recuperation. Only a few of Xie Ke's true confidants knew about this.
Nong Yu knew that if Fu Zhiyu came, Xie Ke might be better, but he really couldn't invite King Zhao.
Even though Xie Ke's life is really in danger now, Fu Zhiyu really doesn't care at all. Nong Yu doesn't know what kind of story happened between the two of them that led to this.
Xie Ke obviously loves him, doesn't he? Maybe there is really no perfect life in the world. People who are good in other aspects have to have a bumpy relationship.
Several of the traveling doctors they invited had real skills and knowledge. After taking a few doses of medicine, Xie Ke woke up for a while that night.
"Zhiyu... Is Zhiyu here?" He coughed twice, and felt his head was still heavy. He tried to move, but it was in vain. "I... will go find him."
"Don't move," Nong Yu hurried to help him up, and said anxiously, "Can you please let King Zhao go and let yourself go? What's wrong with you? Do you really want to die?"
"I'm fine," Xie Ke forced himself to sit up. He had just woken up and his mind was still not clear. He muttered, "I'll be fine. Zhiyu is still here. I'm going to see him. I won't... leave him alone again."
"Just lie down." Nong Yu smelled blood again and knew that his wound must have split again. He couldn't help but feel anxious. "Even if I let you go, try it yourself. Do you have the strength? Will it be like last time, where you ran to someone else's bed in the middle of the night and ended up fainting and being sent back by Shadow?"
Xie Ke struggled for a few times and realized that what Nong Yu said was true, and in his current state, he couldn't even get past Nong Yu.
He took a few deep breaths, his mind seemed to be clearer, and he compromised: "You go out first, let me be alone for a while."
As long as he didn't go to King Zhao, everything else was fine. Nong Yu went out obediently and closed the door behind him.
"027, are you there?" Xie Ke coughed a few more times. He could feel the pain on his back as if it was burned by fire, and there was a rusty taste of blood in his throat. "Zhiyu, has Zhiyu been here?"
"No," the system voice sounded after a while, "Du Yin went to invite him, but he refused to come."
It was expected, but Xie Ke still couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable. After a while, he asked again: "Is my body okay now? Is it really not going to work?"
The system voice sounded after a while, saying: "Most of these are external injuries. You have been unconscious. The system cannot use the host's props without the host's command. However, for injuries as serious as yours, healing props usually have some side effects. It will hurt. My basic functions have long been shut down by the Lord God, including pain shielding, so you can only bear it yourself."
"That's fine, use it. This isn't the first time the pain shield has been turned off. I'm prepared. All I have to do is keep this body alive," Xie Ke breathed a sigh of relief, and then murmured, "Zhiyu must have suffered a lot of this kind of pain for me. I didn't know it would be like this..."
Before he could finish his words, the side effects of the props came on. It was a pain like being hit by an electric current, so painful that every piece of flesh in his body felt like being pricked by needles. Xie Ke clutched the quilt under him tightly and could not make a sound.
He only felt a darkness in front of his eyes. This physical pain seemed to have no end, but the image of Fu Zhiyu in his mind became clearer and clearer. This made him feel that the pain in his body was much lighter, and everything he had suffered was nothing compared to him.
"Tools are not omnipotent," he heard the system remind him in such pain, "Your body has been repaired in this way, and its strength has been greatly reduced. It will not be as useful as before. Be careful and take good care of yourself during this period of time."
A few days later, when Fu Zhiyu went out to listen to storytelling as usual, she learned that Xie Ke had recovered again. The doctors said it was a miracle from heaven. Fu Zhiyu felt that his previous guess was correct and Xie Ke would be fine.
However, after General Xie woke up, storytellers on the streets and alleys began to tell stories to him again. There was not a single new story in the book, and the girls cried with joy. Fu Zhiyu could hear them even when he was hiding in the courtyard of the palace. It was hard to guard against them, and it was very annoying.
Fu Zhiyu had expected Xie Ke to wake up, and he didn't feel surprised. Putting aside his negative impression of him, for the whole situation, as long as Xie Ke was there, the Xie family's support as the emperor would grow stronger and stronger, and Fu Rongye and Fu Lingxiao would not stop making trouble. The more pressure they were under, the more they jumped around. At most, they might learn their lesson now, but Fu Lingxiao and Fu Rongye were both tough guys, and Fu Zhiyu was really looking forward to what they would do next.
It's best not to be so stupid and play such a big game to trouble innocent people. It will only get you into trouble. It's better to do it like in the previous life, where the upper class should solve their own problems and learn how to force the emperor to abdicate.
He thought Xie Ke would be able to recover well and he could have some peace and quiet for a while. But on the third night, this man came to climb over the wall of the palace.
His upper body was still wrapped in gauze, and blood started to seep out after such a big movement. Fu Zhiyu had just finished dinner and was sitting on the couch playing with Rongrong's ears. When Xie Ke came in from the window, Rongrong barked a few times, and then his puppy face became more serious than ever. He stood in front of Fu Zhiyu, tensed his body, and let out a low roar from his throat, as if he was in front of a monster.
"It's okay," Fu Zhiyu rubbed its head to comfort it, "Don't be afraid, Rongrong, he's just a strange person, he will be gone soon."
Xie Ke, who was described as a "weird person", was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled foolishly and started to move closer to Fu Zhiyu, not caring at all that Fu Zhiyu was really going to bite his fur.
"Little darling, go outside and play with Ming Dao first," Fu Zhiyu quickly stroked its fur to calm it down, "Be good, if you really bite him, things will be more troublesome. Some people are very shameless and may use this to threaten the Zhao Palace."
Although Rongrong was not very willing, he still listened to his master. He barked twice at Xie Ke as a warning, and before walking to the door, he stared at Xie Ke with his dark eyes, as if he were a robber.
Xie Ke: “…”
When he first came in and saw the scene, he was a little jealous. A dog was treated better than him. At least now Zhiyu would never hug him and call him little baby.
"What are you doing here?" Fu Zhiyu asked, "Do you think your life is too long?"
His tone was cold enough, but Xie Ke didn't feel the same. He just smiled at him and caught a strange point: "Is Zhiyu concerned about me?"
"You think too much."
Fu Zhiyu rubbed his eyebrows. He felt that Xie Ke was really weird.
Even in the world of fiction, everyone has their own logic of behavior. Now that the plot has become free, it is obvious that everyone has changed their behavior according to their own logic. The Crown Prince, the Third Prince, and Emperor Qing Yuan are all the same. Even Fu Rongli has his own logic and will not make illogical moves for no reason.
Although Xie Ke is an actor who is out of touch with the world, he is not a psychopath, and all his actions should have their own logic and reasons. Fu Zhiyu previously thought that he was acting out of guilt and regret, but now he feels that he can't explain it.
Fu Zhiyu used to think that Xie Ke was an absolutely rational person, especially after knowing that he was the actor, this rationality was also reasonably explained, but now Xie Ke...
Fu Zhiyu glanced at him and felt that his IQ had obviously dropped a lot. The way he looked at her eagerly, Rongrong was much more reserved than him.
The point is, he previously thought that Xie Ke came because of a momentary guilt. Anyway, he had completed the task and obtained the points, so he was just coming back to make up for his regrets. Just think of it as having completed too many tasks and coming back for a vacation.
But he kept going beyond the limit, which made Fu Zhiyu a little confused.
Props were very hard to come by, and sometimes they were life-saving things for the actors. Even though "Leave a Name in History" was a super advanced task that rewarded a lot of points, with the way Xie Ke used it, the points he earned from this world might not even be as much as the usage fee for one of the props.
The Battle of Qianyuan lasted for a year and a half in the previous life, but this time it only took about eight months. There is a huge difference between the barely won victory in the previous life and the direct attack on Huanglong in this life. Even if Xie Ke knows the specific direction of the war, King Xidan is not a waste. He will constantly adjust the strategy according to the situation. Knowing the plot does not mean that everything will be fine. Xie Ke is an actor who is independent of the world, but he is now in it, so he has to follow the basic law.
He must have used props, probably quite a few of them.
If it was out of guilt and regret, was it really worth it? Moreover, this was completely contrary to the nature of Xie Ke that Fu Zhi knew.
If he could do this for a moment of guilt and regret, and if things were just as he said, he had already fallen in love with me, then why didn't he give up a few points for me at that time? To do this now, wouldn't it be picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons
He changed too quickly and Fu Zhiyu couldn't adapt. He felt like there was a stranger in front of him and couldn't understand what he was thinking.
Just at this moment, Xie Ke spoke again.
"Did I scare you last time? I'm sorry, Zhiyu. I've been gone for so long and talked to the herdsmen. I wanted to apologize to you that night. Not only for the things in my last life, but also for forcing you when I came back this time. I'm sorry." There was no seat around Fu Zhiyu's couch. Xie Ke half-knelt in front of him again, trying to hold his hand, but failed. He could only look at Fu Zhiyu and say word by word what he had always wanted to say, "In the last battle, when I was hit by the Flowing Fire Bullet, I only wanted to see you and not say these words to you. I can't accept it no matter what."
The barbarians' Flowing Fire Bombs are the most advanced thermal weapons of this era, and are specifically designed to target Xie Ke. If an ordinary person was hit by them, he would probably be killed on the spot. Xie Ke is the actor, and although his body has been strengthened by exchanging points, it is incredible that he can still survive under such circumstances.
He had spent a lot of time carefully looking at Fu Zhiyu in front of him, greedily wanting to engrave everything about this person in his mind. After he hurried back from the border, he only saw Fu Zhiyu once, and then he couldn't control himself and fainted. At that time, Xie Ke's consciousness had gradually faded due to the pain in his back, and his eyes were blurred. He didn't take a close look at the current appearance of his sweetheart. Now that he was awake, he could finally take a closer look.
Zhiyu is eighteen years old now. Although he has lost some of the baby fat on his face, he still looks like a teenager. He is not planning to go out today, so he is dressed casually with his hair untied. He is leaning on the pillow, looking lazy and beautiful.
Xie Ke has traveled through so many worlds and seen countless beauties, but even without using his lover's eyes, Zhiyu is one of the most beautiful women in those many worlds.
The first time he met Fu Zhiyu was during the accident of rescuing the wrong person. After he picked up the person from the icy lake, he felt something was wrong. He lowered his head and looked into a pair of deer-like eyes. Those eyes stared at him without blinking, without hiding their affection at all, which made Xie Ke's heart, which had been motionless for a long time, tremble a few times.
At that time, he thought he was feeling uneasy because the plot deviated from him. The protagonist and Fu Zhiyu had not met yet, so he deliberately avoided Fu Zhiyu for a while, but he was still blocked by him once.
"Xie, young master." Fu Zhiyu stood in front of him, the eyes staring at him seemed even more crystal clear. He was very bold, watching Xie Ke stop and move closer, "Would you like to have tea with me? I've asked around, you have nothing to do this afternoon, don't find excuses to refuse me again."
He didn't feel anything at that time, but he was more cautious, because the Fu Zhiyu in front of him was so different from the person in the plot. He never thought that this person in front of him would have such a big impact on him in the future.
Xie Ke has been an actor for so many years, and he has never felt that there is really no difference between the emotional line and the plot line. They are just acting with others. Anyway, they are all written scripts, so you just have to act according to them. He also doesn't understand those actors who are obsessed with a certain person in a certain world and make themselves die. He doesn't understand what the desperate love described in some scripts is.
When it was his turn, he realized that love makes people want to live and die. He was bound to meet such a person, Fu Zhiyu, who was the one he was willing to give up everything for.
The author has something to say: There will be more updates tomorrow morning.
