His eyes were empty and dim. When he was awake, he would always look at Mai Mai helplessly, with that longing gaze like a gleam on his back.
Later, Mai Mai learned that Wan Qizhao, who was rescued by Cang Hai that day, could only breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. Cang Hai, who had no choice but to use the extreme method of five poisons to overcome each other, used the venom to stimulate Wan Qizhao.
The heart pulse of Qi Zhao enables the heart to beat rhythmically and continuously. Its principle is similar to that of modern pacemakers. The difference is that pacemakers use circuits and batteries to form pulse currents at regular intervals to stimulate the atria.
However, this method takes a huge toll on the body, which is why he lost weight in just a few days. His body functions gradually lost their effectiveness, and he couldn't digest the food he ate.
He would vomit it out. Moreover, he would often become incontinent and soil the mattress when he didn't feel anything. Therefore, the stench in the room would never go away.
After observing for a day, Mai Mai was shaken by the fact that he could recover or even survive. In fact, Cang Hai should also be able to see it. It was just that he couldn't bear to give up and clung to that slim glimmer of hope. But for
Wan Qizhao said, it is extremely painful.
She began to avoid his eyes, hiding aside as a conscientious and kind-hearted person. She would not help him get rid of him, nor would she exchange her own peace of mind for his relief. In this way, when he was in pain
When moaning, hide aside, close your eyes, and cover your ears.
It has been two days since she came here. Except for Cang Hai who would untie her when she needed to go to the toilet, she was always tied to the bed. Watching him drink the fishy concoction, he went crazy after just a few sips.
He kept vomiting. After vomiting out the gall, he had to drink again. Over and over again, there was no real medicine left. Mai Mai knew that his stomach had developed resistance to the medicine, and drinking it might not be effective.
At night, he continued to use those terrible poisons to stimulate his heart, but Wan Qizhao's screams became smaller and smaller. He no longer had the strength to roar out the despair buried deep in his heart.
At the end of the day, he was tortured until he was no longer human.
The third day was the auspicious day for Mai Mai and Wan Qizhao to get married. Cang Hai decorated the wooden house early. The doors and windows were covered with big red words of happiness, and two one-foot-high red candles were placed on the table.
After his decoration, the originally simple room became a bit more festive. Near noon, he even cooked some delicious side dishes himself.
He handed them a glass of wine and said happily, "Today is my disciple's happy day. We don't have to pay attention to those red tapes. As long as you two drink this glass of wine, you will be husband and wife."
Mai Mai clenched the wine glass and hesitated for a long time. Wan Qizhao saw it and smiled at Cang Hai, "Master, she is not good at drinking. I will drink this cup and she will be fine."
Cang Hai looked at Mai Mai with an unhappy look on his face, "On a special day, no matter how bad you are at drinking, you still have to drink this glass of wine. What, don't you want to marry my disciple?" His eyes were full of murderous intent, Mai Mai said.
Mai believed that if he said yes, he would kill him without hesitation.
"Master..." Wan Qizhao was eager to speak for Mai Mai, but when he was anxious, he was out of breath and his face turned frighteningly yellow.
"Disciple," Cang Hai quickly came to the bedside, pointed at his chest, and slowly introduced some Qi, which allowed him to steady his breathing.
Mai Mai's brows knotted, she looked at him, then at the wine glass in her hand, and finally drank it.
Cang Hai and Wan Qizhao were both stunned.
"Haha," Cang Hai laughed heartily, "Okay, okay." Three "ok"s in a row showed how happy he was at this time.
Wan Qizhao didn't feel too happy, but looked at her thoughtfully.
Mai Mai was called to the table by Cang Hai to drink a few more drinks with him. He was in a very good mood. In a blink of an eye, the two jars of wine were all gone. Cang Hai's face turned red and he stood up unsteadily, "Today is the day."
The flowers and candles in your bridal chamber will no longer be an eyesore for the master. Haha, I will leave it to you and your young couple to have a long time here." After burping, he waved to the two of them and left the wooden house and went down the mountain.
The room became quiet again, and Mai Mai could only hear the sound of her own heartbeat.
"Snapped!"
Wan Qizhao's right hand suddenly dropped, and the wine glass he had been holding fell to the ground with a crisp sound. He stretched out his hand just enough to touch the ground, trying to pick up the pieces.
Mai Mai rushed over dragging the chain, "I'll come, I'll come, don't move."
"Well, thank you." Wan Qizhao retracted his hand obediently, watched her squatting on the ground quietly, and picked it up carefully.
"Actually, I'm really happy today." Wan Qizhao stared at her beautiful side and looked into the pair of deep starry eyes that subverted his soul, with a gentle and happy smile on his lips, "Xuanyun, stay with me.
Would you like to chat?"
Seeing his rare good spirit, Mai Mai smiled and nodded, "Okay,"
Wan Qizhao looked at the pretty woman sitting next to him, his eyes were clearer than ever before, as if anything hidden under the fog would become transparent in front of him.
"Xuanyun, who are you?"
Mai Mai was startled and blinked her eyes in confusion. He asked her who she was. Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat and she looked at him cautiously. Could it be that he knew...
He smiled weakly to appease her fright, and then said softly, "As early as the first time I saw you in Prince Qing's Mansion, I sent people from 'Light' to investigate everything about Miss Lan's family.
The Lan Xuanjun before and you in Prince Qing's Mansion are completely different. What you know is far beyond the scope of our understanding. Do you remember that time you competed with Mrs. Mei? I bet you a lot to win.
, which means that I have doubts about the real you. When my father issued an edict to the world, you insisted on using the name "Maimai". Later, you even participated in politics and led troops. I have to believe a fact, Lan Xuanyun
It’s possible that it’s... a corpse brought back to life.”
Listening to his clear words, Mai Mai gradually relaxed her nervousness. For the first time, someone broke into the private corner of her heart that had never been touched before. The feeling was very complicated. Some were worried, some were relieved.
"Are you afraid of me like this?" Mai Mai stared at his clear eyes for a moment.
"Afraid?" Wan Qizhao shook his head, "It just so happens that you now attract my attention. I fall in love with you like crazy, even at all costs."
When he said "love", he was so calm, as if he was a bystander, telling a normal thing. He had no desires or demands, and no personal thoughts were involved.
Mai Mai looked at him and chuckled suddenly, "I thought I could live here quietly without being noticed by anyone, but I didn't expect that you would still notice me."
Wan Qizhao blinked his clear eyes, "Can you tell me these incredible things that happened to you?" The brilliance that had not appeared on his face for a long time made him look a little more alive. His face
I was in a good mood, and I felt more confident in speaking than usual, so much so that I didn't feel out of breath when I finished speaking.
Mai Mai nodded cheerfully, "Okay, no problem." She was very happy that he would be interested in her affairs. At least there was no need to lie there lifeless.
Mai Mai sat by the bed and told him how she came here and how she became Lan Xuanjun. Wan Qizhao was dumbfounded and asked from time to time, "Do you really have those magical things there?
?”
"Of course, don't forget, I come from a thousand years later." Mai Mai was proud, and then said many things that surprised Wan Qizhao. When he heard about the moon landing, he was even more shocked.
He said, "You mean, people can go to the moon?"
"Yes, not only the moon, but also Mars."
Looking incredulously at the bright moon that unknowingly climbed into the night sky, Wan Qizhao smiled and said, "There is no emperor's rule, no struggle for rights, everyone is equal; one husband and one wife, the relationship will last forever.
, until the end of my life... I really want to visit your hometown." He turned back and looked at Mai Mai quietly, "It's good there, but only when you live here can you get real happiness. Forget about the past.
Mai Mai, let’s seal up all the misfortunes about her in the distant thousands of years. Now Lan Xuanyun just wants to be happy.”
Mai Mai slowly lowered her eyelids and firmed her jaw, "King Zhao, you are the first person who extended a gentle hand to me after I came to this other world. I will never forget it. For the rest of my life."
Her words are enough.
Wan Qizhao closed his eyes, and a satisfied smile overflowed from his thin cheeks, "Xuanyun, I want to sleep."
"Well," Mai Mai stood up, pulled the blanket for him, then walked back to the chair and nestled there, where she had been sleeping for the past two days.
Just when she thought the person on the bed was asleep, Wan Qizhao's helpless voice came from the darkness, "Xuanyun, no matter what I have done, please don't hate me, okay?"
Mai Mai smiled softly, "Didn't I say that all the grudges and grudges between us have disappeared?"
There was no sound from the bed.
Mai Mai rubbed his right foot that was hurt by the iron ring, sat on a chair, and stared at the night sky outside the window in a daze. One star after another, bright and dazzling.
Is he looking at the same starry sky?
She looked at him dreamily, and in a daze, she seemed to see his light and elegant smile again.
Early in the morning, Cang Hai returned to the wooden house carrying some sesame seed cakes. As soon as he opened the door, he howled, "Disciple, the master is back!"
Mai Mai frowned, opened his eyes, and subconsciously looked at Wan Qizhao. He was sleeping deeply, but his face was frighteningly pale.
Cang Hai put the things on the table, went directly to the bed and joked, "Disciple, you won't blame me for coming back too early, right?" Seeing that Wan Qizhao didn't respond, he was in a coma again,
He turned around and wanted to get the silver needle. But he stopped after taking a few steps, turned around suddenly, and reached under his nose with a trembling hand...
"No, this is impossible, no..." Cang Hai's face changed drastically, and he whispered as if he couldn't believe it, "No, my disciple will not die..."
When Mai Mai heard his murmur, she was suddenly startled. Then she immediately jumped off the chair and dragged the chain to the bedside, "What's wrong with him?"
Cang Hai quickly lifted the quilt as if he remembered something, and when he saw it, both of them froze on the spot.
The inside was stained red with blood, and there were blood cuts on his wrists, and the blood had solidified around the wound.
"Disciple!" Cang Hai wailed and threw himself on him.
Mai Mai's eyes were fixed on the fragment of magnetic disk in his hand...
"It's you! You, a snake-hearted woman, killed my disciple!" Cang Hai suddenly rushed towards Mai Mai like an angry lion and wrapped his arms around her neck, "I'm going to kill you."
