I, the ninth grade county magistrate, scare the empress to tears at the beginning!

Chapter 75 She shouldn’t have ended up like this
Although this relationship is now over for Lu Yuan.

But there is still regret.

When the mystery of the matter was revealed, Lu Yuan's calm state of mind was no longer shaken.

At the beginning, if it hadn't been for this change, maybe the two of them wouldn't have separated at that time.

Maybe the current result won't be like this?

Although he has everything now, Lu Yuan is already content.

But he was still a little unwilling and a little angry.

Tell him to ignore it, let it go, and stop interfering.

He really couldn't do it.

Ji Xinyue's life was ruined like this.

Who knows what kind of torture and suffering she has endured over the years?

20 years!

That woman who once ran out to meet him despite being punished at home, that innocent woman who could only giggle, that woman who just wanted to have three meals a year for two people all year round, what did she do wrong?
When Lu Yuan was most helpless and in need of help, it was her appearance that gave Lu Yuan a bright future and smooth success.

Without her help, if Lu Yuan wanted to rely on his own efforts to reach the Qingyun Palace Examination as a commoner in this world with distinct classes, how many more detours would he have to take?
It was she who had been silently paying for him.

Without her, Lu Yuan would never have been so relaxed in his early years.

Perhaps, I couldn't stand the pressure long ago and took another path, leading another life...

No one can understand Lu Yuan's mood at this moment.

This is why when he learned that Jiang Linglong was her daughter, he chose to help her without any suspicion.

The mastermind behind all the conspiracies and the one who caused Ji Xinyue to end up like this would never be spared.

Even though it wouldn't change anything, it had to be what he had to do.

But now, Ji Xinyue may be the only one who knows the answer.

Ji Xinyue was still in a coma, and Lu Yuan could only suppress the anger in his heart and wait silently for her to wake up.

Only when she wakes up can she know what happened.

Seeing Lu Yuan's expression, Ning Youruo and Xiao Xuewei seemed to understand something in their hearts.

They looked at each other, didn't say anything, and stayed by Lu Yuan's side silently.

They understand Lu Yuan, so when it comes to major matters, no matter what Lu Yuan wants to do, they will only support him unconditionally...

……

the next few days.

Jiang Linglong stayed by Ji Xinyue's side day and night, never leaving.

Lu Yuan has excellent medical skills and sends people to prepare and deliver medicine every day. Ji Xinyue's complexion has obviously improved.

"Well……"

Ji Xinyue let out a low groan and slowly opened her eyes.

She was a little surprised when she found out that she was not dead.

She is very aware of the condition of her body.

Gu insects have tortured her for a long time in the past 20 years.

When the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty died, her mission was completed, and the Gu insects lost control and began to eat away at her hard work.

She understood that her death had come.

Before she died, she felt satisfied to be able to see her daughter and Lu Yuan again.

Especially after learning that her daughter was fine and that she and Lu Yuan were living well now, she was only relieved.

This may be the most perfect result.

only……

She didn't expect that she didn't die.

Feel the bitterness in your mouth, which is the taste of medicine.

It seems that it was Lu Yuan who did it.

At this moment, she had mixed feelings in her heart.

I don’t know whether I should be grateful, relieved, or something else.

There is bitterness, sweetness and sourness.

Lu Yuan did not hate her, but made her feel sorry for Lu Yuan.

She broke her oath...

Once upon a time, she also thought about getting over it once and for all.

But when she thought of the young Jiang Linglong, she couldn't bear it.

After all, my own flesh and blood, how could I be willing to let her, a child, face everything alone...

"exquisite……"

Looking at Jiang Linglong who had fallen asleep leaning against the head of the bed at some point, Ji Xinyue murmured in a low voice, her eyes filled with adoration.

He wanted to reach out and touch her cheek, but then the door was pushed open and Lu Yuan walked in with medicine.It seemed that Lu Yuan was still young, just like he was during the imperial examination.

Dressed in white clothes, with long hair tied in a crown, his face is like a crown jade, and his equipment is majestic.

It lacks a bit of youthful spirit and sharpness.

A little more indifferent, and much more mature than before.

At this moment, there was a strange feeling, which made Ji Xinyue speechless for a moment.

When their eyes met, Lu Yuan's eyes were also complicated and his mood was ups and downs.

"you're awake!"

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, gathered his thoughts, and spoke to break the silence.

The voice was calm and seemed to be without any emotion.

But a simple greeting made Ji Xinyue feel a little familiar, and she nodded silently.

But she didn't dare to look at Lu Yuan, and instead looked at Jiang Linglong.

Lu Yuan didn't know what to say, so he stepped forward silently, put the medicine on the table, pulled up a chair, and sat aside.

Ji Xinyue seemed to feel the gaze and felt a little guilty, hesitant and nervous.

At a loss, she chose to speak and broke the silence, "Did you save me?"

"Well, the worm in your body..."

Lu Yuan nodded.

When Ji Xinyue heard about the Gu insect, her expression changed slightly, she was extremely surprised and interrupted: "How do you know?"

Because the poisonous insects are very hidden, even the palace doctors cannot detect them.

Not only the imperial doctor, but also the late emperor, who was the great master, didn't notice.

Did Lu Yuan know anything?

"It just so happens that I've had nothing to do here these past few years, so I know a lot about it."

Lu Yuan explained casually.

After hesitating for a while, Lu Yuan continued: "Back then..."

"What's the point of mentioning the past now that it's over?"

As soon as he started speaking, Ji Xinyue said first, "You are living a good life now. There is no need to pursue what happened back then. It was my fault back then. If you want to blame, blame me."

"You are still very persistent. As long as it is something you have determined, no matter who or what you say, you can't change it." Lu Yuan said.

Ji Xinyue turned her head further, as if she was afraid that Lu Yuan would see her expression at this moment.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and said sincerely: "I'm sorry for letting you endure so much pain all these years, but I did nothing."

"Back then, I vowed to protect you and give you..."

"Shut up, stop talking! I don't want to hear it!"

Ji Xinyue's voice suddenly became louder and she covered her ears, feeling extremely painful.

"Mother?"

Jiang Linglong suddenly woke up, looking at Ji Xinyue like this, and then at Lu Yuan who was sitting there. She didn't understand what was going on and looked confused.

He was about to say something, but when he saw Jiang Linglong waking up, Lu Yuan stopped in time, shook his head and sighed softly, "Take good care of your mother, the medicine is here, remember to drink it."

After saying that, Lu Yuan turned and left.

Looking at Lu Yuan's back, Jiang Linglong felt doubtful, "Mother..."

Ji Xinyue looked pained and said nothing.

Seeing this, Jiang Linglong didn't dare to ask further questions, and quickly brought the medicine to Ji Xinyue, "Mother, no matter what, you drink the medicine first, I won't ask anymore..."

……

After leaving the room, Lu Yuan stood at the door and did not go far.

From the conversation just now, he couldn't understand Ji Xinyue's thoughts.

It would be a bit difficult to ask her what happened back then.

She probably still feels guilty to this day, so she doesn't want to mention what happened back then.

It was impossible for Lu Yuan to say he didn't care, that would only make people more sad.

With Ji Xinyue's character, she would probably commit suicide and seek relief.

This matter is really unsolvable.

Shaking his head, Lu Yuan knew that this matter could not be rushed and it would take time, so he could only wait.

At least, Ji Xinyue must be allowed to recover first, lest she die due to stimulation...

After finally meeting again, Lu Yuan wanted to make up for some past debts.

It’s not about making up for it emotionally.

But let her live the rest of her life as well as possible.

A woman like her shouldn't end up like this.
