Jiang Rong felt a suffocating heartache in his chest.
It's like he has been performing a one-man show for a long time. No matter what you say or do, he just treats it as an accidental dream.
He never took it seriously.
But she took it seriously.
Although it started with a misunderstanding, she had already fallen in love with Xie Lingxi every time she spent time with him.
What I thought was a happy relationship between the two turned out to be wishful thinking on my part.
Jiang Rong could not suppress the loss and sadness in his heart.
"Queen, why are you here? Are you looking for the medical book left by Divine Doctor Bai?" Xiao Nanxing happened to come in and asked in surprise:
"I'll help you find it. What book do you want?"
Jiang Rong put down the notes he was reading and murmured, "It turns out... my husband and I met before we got married."
"Oh... you are talking about that time in Taolin. Yes, His Majesty asked me to diagnose your pulse... I didn't expect you to be poisoned... When he came back, he kept asking me how to save you. He was very kind to you. Concerned!" Xiao Nanxing replied immediately.
Jiang Rong lowered his eyes, "Well... my husband always treats me very well."
Even though he never loved her, he was still very kind to her.
How could she blame him and just repay her kindness?
There was only joy in her heart.
Fortunately, she was the daughter of his benefactor, so she was lucky enough to have him take care of her.
Even if it’s just one ride.
……
It was already late at night when Xie Lingxi finished approving the notes.
The lights of Jinyu Palace are still bright.
A woman dressed in red sat quietly under the lamp waiting for him. There are exquisite snacks and steaming tea on the coffee table, everything is the same as before.
But very different.
In the past, when Jiang Rong saw him, he would immediately rush over to him and ask him for a kiss and a hug. But today, she sat quietly on one side, holding her chin with one hand and looking out the window at the night.
He seemed to be so absorbed in watching that he didn't hear his footsteps coming in.
Like a winter plum independent of ice and snow.
Pure and cool.
There is an indescribable alienation.
Xie Lingxi has not seen Jiang Rong like this for a long time. This looks like Jiang Rong before he woke up.
"Rong Rong——" Xie Lingxi sat down opposite her.
Jiang Rong finally came back from his thoughts, looked at Xie Lingxi with an unnatural look on his face, pointed to a letter on the table and said:
"Look."
Xie Lingxi didn't know why, so she picked up the letter and opened it, only to see a letter of peace inside.
The smile in his eyebrows instantly stiffened.
If he had known Jiang Rong was sober, he would have left. But I didn't expect it to happen so quickly...
He will do whatever it takes to keep her!
Xie Lingxi stared at Jiang Rong, his eyes dark and sad. Jiang Rong also looked at Xie Lingxi, but hesitated to speak.
The atmosphere is quiet.
There was only the sound of water boiling on the small tea stove.
"you're awake--"
"I know everything..."
The two spoke almost at the same time, and looked at each other at the same time.
Jiang Rong's eyes were slightly red. As expected, he only regarded her liking as a lack of clarity of mind.
Xie Lingxi's fists hidden under her sleeves clenched unconsciously. He must keep her.
But Jiang Rong's temperament would rather break than bend.
Even if he forced her, she would kill him. Just like she used to be.
Various thoughts intertwined in Xie Lingxi's mind, and she suddenly found a reason, "The underworld's poison still needs Western medicine. Just wait and find all the medicine."
"Thank you for helping me find medicine." Jiang Rong thanked her sincerely. Sure enough, he was just trying to save her.
"Don't worry, I will leave immediately after one year." Jiang Rong immediately added.
I wonder if I can find the remaining medicine.
In the remaining year, she hopes to stay with the person she likes.
Although Jiang Rong was ready to leave the book, he didn't plan to leave now.
When people are about to die, time is precious and should be wasted on those who are least willing to give it up.
In this way, there will be less regrets about leaving.
"By the way, can you promise me something?" Jiang Rong asked.
Xie Lingxi agreed to everything she wanted, "Okay."
"I don't like Li Jin'er, don't choose her to enter the palace." Jiang Rongshou continued.
She would not let such a person stay with Xie Lingxi if she was deceived by evil intentions.
Xie Lingxi felt a little confused, huh?
Who is Li Jin'er? The surname is Li, she should be a young lady from the Li family.
"Okay." Xie Lingxi agreed, and then said, "I won't draft."
Jiang Rong was startled. She originally wanted to discuss it with him, saying that she was not good at managing a harem. Can the draft be held after she leaves?
I didn’t expect him to not draft.
He has always had a free-spirited temperament. If he doesn't draft now, it would be normal and not surprising if the draft would be held again in the future.
Jiang Rong felt a little better.
She didn't want to see his three thousand beauties in his harem before she died.
There is no need to torture yourself like this.
After everything is said and done, it’s time to see off the guests.
"In the past, I was not clear-headed and I offended His Majesty a lot. Now that I am clear-headed, I will not go overboard again." Jiang Rong looked at Xie Lingxi and expressed restrained alienation in every word:
"So, Your Majesty no longer has to cooperate with me and will visit me every day."
"I've been causing you trouble for the first time. Thank you."
Jiang Rongfu saluted, and every move he made was a good etiquette for a lady.
Send him off respectfully.
The lowered eyebrows concealed all emotions.
Her liking for Xie Lingxi is her own business. She didn't need to force Xie Lingxi to respond to her.
Even though everything he did was just to repay the favor...
But one thing hasn't changed.
He will always be her unparalleled hero and the brightest sunshine in her world.
She loves him.
She stayed because she wanted to spend the last moment with him on the last journey.
Didn't want to cause trouble for him.
Thank you for your care and kindness during this year.
Thank you very much, but I can't trouble him anymore.
Tea mist curls up.
Xie Lingxi looked at the woman who was bowing respectfully in front of him. She was right in front of him, but she seemed to be separated from him by the Milky Way.
Within reach, yet out of reach.
Xie Lingxi did not leave.
He walked straight up to Jiang Rong, reached out and grasped her Rouyi.
Jiang Rong raised his eyes in astonishment and met his west eyes.
Xie Lingxi's eyes burned brightly, "Rongrong, I like you."
