Pampering the sea

Xin Yue felt very tired, as if she had walked a long way, and the wind kept blowing, hitting her cheek like hands.Walking and walking, the whole person seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, so cold that even the heart could be frozen.

"Xin Yue, Xin Yue..." Yan Zhan held her hand and called her softly.

"My lord!" Someone's voice sounded outside the door, Yan Zhan frowned slightly, got up and opened the door.

Outside, the wind and rain were turbulent, and the sky was as dark as ink. Suddenly, a black figure knelt down by the door with a thud, and whispered in fear: "My lord, I couldn't find the young lady. When I went, she...she wasn't there anymore." .”

Yan Zhan said lightly: "It's okay, she's back."

"What?" The man raised his head in surprise.

"She should have come back from another way. It's reasonable that you didn't see her." Yan Zhan stretched out his hand to signal him to get up, and then said in a deep voice, "Is the antidote still there? Give it to me."

The man stood up and took out the antidote from his arms.Yan Zhan said again: "Ask someone to bring a pot of warm water over, don't put the tea leaves, hurry up."

"Yes." The man left immediately.

Yan Zhan closed the door, walked to the edge of the bed, sat on the edge of the bed, stretched his arms under the back of Xin Yue's neck, gently hugged her head, opened the porcelain bottle, stretched her tender lips with his slender fingers, Put a red pill into her mouth.

"It's okay, just get some sleep." Yan Zhan put her down and let her head rest on the jade-colored pillow. Looking at her pale face and curled up body, he couldn't help but frowned. Frowning, he said softly.

"Master Yan, the warm water has arrived." A servant's voice sounded outside the door.

"Come in."

The servant put down the tea, Yan Zhan turned his head, and said in a deep voice: "Every time a cup of tea is made, bring in a pot of warm water."

"Your Excellency is afraid that the young lady will get up thirsty and want to drink water?"

Yan Zhan raised his eyebrows lightly: "Why, what do you want to say?"

The servant said respectfully: "My lord, why don't you use the pouring sand pot given to you by the emperor? The pouring sand pot can keep the temperature, so that within a day and a night, no matter when the young lady wakes up, she can drink warm water .”

Yan Zhan nodded: "That's fine, otherwise you'll have to work hard, so go and change the sand pot, and you should go to bed earlier."

"Thank you sir." The servant nodded gratefully.

Cheng Yuan came in from the outside, shook his head when he saw this scene, and said after the servant left: "Your Excellency is too generous, even a servant is riding on your head, and you have to be lazy even to change the water."

Yan Zhan glanced at him, and said with a low laugh, "Since you respect me so much, then I will entrust you with the task of changing the water tonight."

"Don't..." Cheng Yuan quickly waved his hands, "I'm just kidding, I didn't say anything just now."

"Bastard!" Yan Zhan raised his face and said in a deep voice, "Don't call yourself a subordinate, how dare you call me yours? Are you going to ride on my lord's head?"

Cheng Yuan: "..."

Seeing Cheng Yuan's depressed expression with nothing to say, a smile gathered in Yan Zhan's star-like eyes, and he asked softly, "Okay, what do you want from me?"

"I want to ask if your lord is ready to go out?"

Yan Zhan had finished bathing just now, and asked the woman in the mansion to bathe Xin Yue, and before Xin Yue came back, he had agreed to go to the palace after bathing.

Yan Zhan turned his eyes, looked at the pale girl on the bed, and said calmly, "Let's talk about it after she wakes up."

"Yes, my lord."

"Go and rest first, I will call you if something happens."

"Yes, my lord, you also rest early."

It stands to reason that Cheng Yuan, as Yan Zhan's subordinate, had to personally guard the safety of his master before he was ready to rest, but such things had happened before, and Yan Zhan insisted on letting the people around him rest, and no one could stop him.So now, Cheng Yuan could only respectfully accept his kindness, salute and leave.

Yan Zhan shifted his gaze to the bed, quietly looking at the unconscious girl.

Xin Yue seemed to be very uncomfortable, his brows were furrowed on his pointed face, his thick eyelashes cast a small string of scallop-like shadows on Ruyu's cheeks, his snow-white teeth bit his lips, as if he was enduring some pain, and on his forehead The sweat kept dripping down.

Yan Zhan wiped her face with a handkerchief, frowning slightly, his movements were gentle and cautious, his hands seemed to be a good medicine, gradually healed Xin Yue's pain, Yan Zhan watched her calm With a downcast face, a slight smile escaped from the corner of his mouth.

"Chu Zhiling..."

The girl murmured in an extremely low voice, Yan Zhan's back stiffened, and suddenly he felt cold all over his body.

His eyes dimmed slightly, his slender eyelashes were half closed, his lips were slightly pursed, and his face was a little pale. It wasn't until the name of Chu Zhiling escaped from Xin Yue's mouth again that Yan Zhan began to tremble slightly, and suddenly stopped and continued talking. When she wiped her face, she threw the veil on the ground with a flick of the handkerchief. The expression in her eyes couldn't tell whether it was anger or disappointment. He reached out to open the door, and walked into the turbulent wind and rain, but walked out without hesitation.

"Chu Zhiling... We have nothing to do with each other anymore, Yan Zhan is in danger, I will not abandon him."

The woman's voice was weak and intermittent, but she was so determined, like a rock in a storm.

The past in the dream reappears between heaven and earth, pain, farewell, stubbornness, and scenes are clearly staged.

Two hours ago, on the trail among the trees outside Guanglan Slope, there was a faint moonlight and a slight cold wind.

"What's the matter, ma'am?" The man's voice resounded in the night sky, he stretched out his hand, and gently patted the woman's back. Seeing the woman weeping in his arms, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked worriedly and doubtfully.

A few seconds later, Xin Yue, who was crying out for Chu Zhiling's name, had stopped crying, let go of his grip on Chu Zhiling's clothes, raised his head slightly, and the moonlight shone on her delicate and beautiful face, in a trance It's a little cold.

She took two steps back, distanced herself from Chu Zhiling, raised her eyes, and said firmly: "Chu Zhiling, I used to really love you, the kind of love that can die for you, and the kind of love that can die for you. I want to spend my whole life with you in love."

The wind was blowing quietly, raising the dust on the ground, and the moon shone down, making the ground pale.

"So, what about now?" A second stretched like a century, Chu Zhiling seemed to be unable to breathe, looked at Xin Yue, and asked with difficulty.

"Just now, it was the last time I cried for you, because you came to save me regardless of life and death." The wind was blowing, and the woman's white skirt was dancing, with a trace of messy and decisive beauty, and her voice was also very cold, like The frosty moonlight shining on the ground.

"So, after you've finished crying, you don't have the slightest feeling for me anymore, do you?" Chu Zhiling said in a deep voice with complicated and unclear emotions gathering in his black eyes.

Xin Yue frowned, pursed his lips, thought about it seriously, then raised his head, and replied very calmly: "You can say that."

"Nonsense!" Chu Zhiling suddenly roared, and pressed Xin Yue's thin shoulders forward, his eyes seemed to be burning with flames, looking straight at Xin Yue, "If you don't love me, why did you come to save me? ?”
