My heart was so heavy that I felt like I was suffocating, and there was a soreness in my suppressed chest: "I thought that as long as I tried my best to stay by your side, the distance between us would definitely shrink over time, but later I discovered that I was wrong.
Not only has the distance between us not narrowed, but it is still widening little by little. Why do you want to get me back? I would rather live in your memory than face this heartbreaking scene today."
"Gardenia——." Ling Jiyun tightened his grip on her, blaming himself for not noticing the contradictions and pain in her and still waiting for her to surrender to him. Even though he knew it was impossible, he was still waiting.
.
"That's enough. I'm tired. I don't want to get involved in your desires and power anymore." She pushed him away gently and said with a tearful smile, "God has given me a chance to choose again. This time, I believe that I will not
I will choose another measure."
Ling Jiyun stood there stunned, Gardenia's words were like thin needles, piercing his heart mercilessly, without any bleeding - pain.
Gardenia turned to Situ Ling and said, "Are you satisfied?" Then she stretched out her hand and said, "Give Cai'er back to me."
Situ Ling smiled. This was his real purpose. What he wanted was not Gardenia's promise to leave, but the ruthless words from her mouth. Only in this way could Ling Jiyun be hurt. Only in this way could Ling Jiyun be hurt.
Only then did he have the heart to drive her out. Even though he was heartbroken, he had to preserve his self-esteem.
"Return Cai'er to me quickly." Gardenia said loudly. She was worried that Situ Ling's hands were too strong and would crush it to death.
Situ Ling slowly raised his head and thought to himself: I'm sorry, Cai Que, you will still be a treasure even if you die.
Seeing Gardenia's heartbroken expression with satisfaction, Situ Ling slightly raised his hand and strengthened it.
Gardenia's eyes widened in shock. Suddenly something flashed in the air and hit Situ Ling's hand holding Cai'er steadily. The moment Cai'er fell, another gust of wind passed by to catch it.
After staying, he stopped next to Gardenia.
Situ Ling looked at what fell on the ground: a small branch.
"Master——Master——." Gardenia could no longer bear the sourness in her heart, and threw herself into Yaowang's arms and cried sadly.
He patted her back kindly, looked at Situ Ling and said: "Situ Ling, you are already a long time old, and you are still arguing with a little girl. If word spreads to the world, where will you put your old face?"
"Who are you?" Situ Ling asked forcefully while holding his numb wrist.
Yao Wang ignored him, but glared at Ling Jiyun and said angrily in the tone of an elder: "What's the matter with you? The person who made Gardenia so wronged and took down half of the country cannot protect his beloved woman.
, I really misjudged you."
Ling Jiyun knew he was guilty and was speechless. Situ Ling then raised his hands and said in surprise: "It turns out to be Senior Medicine King."
"Don't talk to me like that, I'm not familiar with you." He glanced at Ling Jiyun and said, "It's true that just like a master, there is an apprentice."
Gardenia stopped crying and gently took Cai'er. She was so frightened that she said, "Master, look at Cai'er quickly."
The King of Medicine took out a small bottle from his arms, opened the cork and placed it in front of Cai'er's nostrils. Gardenia suddenly smelled a cool breath. After a while, Cai'er moved, and Gardenia was pleasantly surprised.
Smiling: "Master, look, Cai'er is moving."
The Medicine King corked the bottle and said with a smile: "Don't worry, luckily I was a step ahead and didn't let Situ Ling crush its internal organs with my hands."
It was all because of herself that Cai'er almost died. Gardenia blamed herself and said: "Cai'er, I'm sorry, it's all Gardenia's fault for not being able to protect you."
Yao Wang put away his usual playful and childlike manner, looked at Gardenia, and said seriously: "Gardenia, it's all because of Master's fault. I thought Ling Jiyun would take good care of you for your parents, but I didn't expect that he would just
It will make you sad, alas——, go home with Master."
Ling Jiyun's heart tightened, was it really like Feng Qing said, was she going to disappear from his life?
Gardenia nodded with tears in her eyes and said, "Master, Gardenia will go home with you."
He reached out and wiped away her tears: "We're leaving now."
Gardenia remembered that there were clothes in Yaxu Garden that she had made for King Medicine. She handed Cai'er in her hand to King Medicine and said, "Master, please help me take care of Cai'er. The clothes Gardenia made for you are still there."
Your wine gourd is still in Yaxu Garden, wait a minute, Gardenia is now..." Before she finished speaking, Gardenia felt her head spin for a while, and then her vision went dark and she lost consciousness.
“Gardenia——.”
“Gardenia——.”
“Gardenia——.”
Feng Qing, who was closest to her, picked her up and hurriedly walked towards Yaxu Garden. Ling Jiyun stayed there and couldn't even find an excuse to get closer.
In Yaxu Garden, Feng Qing gently placed Gardenia on the bed. Leyin hurriedly took a towel and put it on Gardenia's forehead. She watched nervously as Yao Wang checked Gardenia's pulse.
King Yao frowned and did not let go for a long time. After standing up, he looked at Ling Jiyun and sighed: "Oh, what an injustice——"
Shocked by such unclear words, Ling Jiyun pulled Feng Qing to the bed and said, "Qing, look quickly, what's wrong with Gardenia?"
Feng Qing secretly said angrily: Now I know I am nervous.
After a while, he understood the meaning of King Yao's words, looked at Ling Jiyun and said: "Jiyun, Gardenia... Gardenia is pregnant."
Holding her hand tightly, Ling Jiyun's excitement could not be expressed in words. He just said gently: "Gardenia, did you hear it? We have a child, we have a child."
"Senior Medicine King, it seems you can't leave today, why don't I let this junior take you down to rest." Feng Qing walked up to Medicine King and cupped his hands.
Yao Wang glanced at Gardenia and walked out the door helplessly, holding his hands behind his back.
Desolate night, desolate people.
Gardenia woke up, and her mind calmed down for a while before she remembered what happened today. Looking at her surroundings, it turned out that she couldn't walk away, so how could she pass out safely? Where did the master go?
Someone pushed the door open and came in. Gardenia straightened up. Leyin quickly stepped forward to support her and said, "Master, you are awake. You are scared to death of Leyin. Don't sit down, lie down."
Gardenia didn't lie down, but asked: "Where is my master?"
"Are you talking about the old man? He is in the guest room of Yaxu Garden. Do you want me to call him?"
He shook his head and said: "Forget it, let him have a good rest. By the way, where is Cai'er? How is Cai'er?"
Leyin said: "Master, don't worry. During dinner, I saw King Yao feeding Cai'er in his hometown, so she is fine."
He breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground, "Leyin, it's very late, you should go and rest."
"I'm not tired, slave. Please let me accompany you again."
Gardenia forced a smile and said: "Go and rest, I want to be alone."
"Yes, that slave will leave first and you can have a good rest."
