Peach Blossom.

"Miss Tao..." Tian Le hurriedly supported Tao Ye.

Tao Ye did not really faint. She slowly regained her feet and steady herself. She felt that she should not be surprised by the result. It was not easy to save her life after being injured to this extent.

However, lifelong paralysis... Tao Ye still couldn't accept it from the bottom of his heart.

"Too many tendons and veins in his limbs are broken, it's really difficult to treat him... I'm so sorry... My father and I have tried our best. Being able to move slightly is already the limit. His hands can no longer lift heavy objects, not even a glass of water. His legs can't support the weight of his body, so he can never walk again..." Tian Le murmured in a low voice.

Tao Ye stood there blankly, listening, and felt as if she was walking in a dream, everything was in chaos.

“Actually, as long as you give up on him, you can live another life. Any way of life will be much better than this one… You are so beautiful and talented… You can hand him over to the Crown Princess and let the servants serve him… He won’t starve to death or freeze to death…” Tian Le persuaded, but didn’t dare to speak too loudly.

Let the servants serve him? Tao Ye couldn't help but sneer. If that was the case, the servants who served him would either do bad things secretly or curse him dozens of times behind his back every day, right?

In a trance, Tao Ye remembered what Wang Jing said: "Although the rest of my life is short, if I lose you, living one more day will seem long."

She thought that she should understand Wang Jing. Wang Jing was a proud person by nature and would never want to live in such a shameful way. Once he knew that he would have to lie down for the rest of his life, he would never want to drag anyone down, and certainly not his daughter.

She thought that she should understand herself. Even if Wang Jing could never stand up again in his life, even if he could never take care of himself, she would still not want to leave him.

"Thank you, Miss Tian. I know your father has done his best. We can only be grateful and would never dare to complain." Tao Ye gradually calmed down, and everything around her became clearer.

Tian Le's face became even more worried. She said goodbye to Tao Ye and walked out. She looked back every few steps and saw Tao Ye walking towards the cottage without stopping.

Walking back to the cabin, it was dark. Wang Jing was still lying quietly on the bed, maintaining his most usual state in recent times.

"Tao Ye..." Wang Jing felt Tao Ye approaching and turned his upper body slightly: "You have been sending Miss Tian away for a long time... She... What did she say to you?"

"It's just a casual chat." Tao Ye sat down. She didn't want to tell Wang Jing. She was afraid that Wang Jing would not be able to accept it.

Wang Jing stretched out his arm and slowly touched Tao Ye's hand. He felt sweat on Tao Ye's palm.

Wang Jing asked again: "Is there nothing they can do? Will I never be able to stand up again?"

Tao Ye didn't know how to answer. She was facing Wang Jing at this moment, just like Tian Le was facing her just now. "This... This is not certain yet... Slowly exercise and move... Maybe I can get better faster..."

"Do you know? You are not good at lying." Wang Jing let go of Tao Ye's hand again.

Tao Ye was stunned for a moment.

"Give up on me... leave me... I beg you..." Wang Jing's voice suddenly increased sharply, and the muscles on his face twitched. It was hard to tell how much courage he mustered and how much effort he put in.

"Are you driving me away again?" Tao Ye looked at Wang Jing, feeling sad.

"How can you eat and sleep facing a disabled person who is dirty and smelly every day? Won't you feel sick?" Wang Jing was very emotional, tears rolled down his face, and his voice trembled.

Tao Ye had been holding back her tears since Tian Le reported the bad news. However, moved by Wang Jing's tears, she could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

"Why do you make me live in such guilt and misery? Why don't you let me die in peace?" Wang Jing's tears were streaming down his face. He spoke incoherently and he didn't know where he got the strength from.

"If you die, do you think I can go on living?" Tao Ye also cried out to Wang Jing. She knew that the secret would fail sooner or later, but she didn't expect it would happen so soon.

Wang Jing didn't say anything else, and Tao Ye didn't know what to say.

In silence, night gradually fell. They lay in their respective beds, sleepless. The candlelight flickered in the breeze blowing in through the door. The shadows of all the objects in the house swayed in a disorderly manner, and everywhere was filled with uneasiness.

In the second half of the night, under the effect of the medicine, Wang Jing fell asleep, but Tao Ye continued to suffer from insomnia.

In fact, Tao Ye really wanted to ask Wang Jing, if he could have predicted that this injury would make him unable to stand up forever, would he still use his flesh and blood to protect Mantangjiao's body?

But this was a useless question, and asking it would only add to the sadness, so she didn't ask.

She kept thinking about what was happening in front of her. She had to find a way to make Wang Jing willing to live, and also think about how to live in the future.

She remembered that in modern times, those paralyzed people lie in bed all day long and cannot exercise. Lack of exercise will make their physical condition worse, their mood worse, and their life span shorter.

She had to get Wang Jing moving and getting out.

When she thought about this, she thought of wheelchairs. Wheelchairs probably weren't sold in ancient times, so she had to make one herself.

So, Tao Ye got up before dawn, borrowed the wheels of a carriage and a rattan chair from the coachman of Meixiangxie, and went to ask a nearby carpenter for advice on his craftsmanship, and started making a wheelchair outside the cottage.

After Wang Jing woke up, he heard loud noises in the yard. He didn't know what Tao Ye was doing and was very curious. But after trying for a long time, he realized that without Tao Ye's support, his arms couldn't even support himself to sit up, let alone get out of bed.

Caiwei heard that Taoye was making something new, so she ran over to see what it was, and was shocked by the wheelchair that was not yet completed.

After Tian Le returned home, he was worried about Tao Ye and came to visit her the next day. He was surprised to see a chair with wheels in Tao Ye's yard.

Caiwei and Tianle looked at the newly made wheelchair again and again. There were many crossbeams nailed between the rattan chair and the wheels, and it was very sturdy. They couldn't help but admire it.

Tian Le was so impressed that he said, "You are so skillful. How did you come up with this idea?"

"It's very roughly made, so please stop making fun of me." Tao Ye pushed the finished wheelchair into the hut, and Caiwei and Tian Le followed him in.

"Second brother." Tao Ye smiled and walked to the bedside. She first placed a few cushions on the left and right sides of the chair and on the backrest, and then helped Wang Jing up: "I'll take you out to bask in the sun today. You haven't felt the sun for almost two months, right?"

Wang Jing didn't know what it meant. He slowly held onto the edge of the bed and felt his arms become weak again. Tao Ye pushed him from behind and he finally sat up. However, after sitting up, he found that his legs were not as strong as his arms.

"Put your hands around my neck and get on my back." Tao Ye leaned over the bed with her back facing Wang Jing.

"How can that be? How can you carry me on your back?" Wang Jing was shocked and touched Tao Ye's back, then retracted his hand.

Caiwei and Tianle came over quickly: "How can you carry him? Let us help you get up."

Tao Ye smiled and shook her head: "I appreciate your kindness, but you can't always be here. There will always be times when I have to be alone. I helped you this time, but what about next time? Just let me carry him. It's only for a while anyway, so how can I not hold on? I've been getting stronger lately."

Caiwei and Tianle thought it made sense and had to give up.

"What does 'just carry me' mean?" Wang Jing was confused because he couldn't see and didn't know there was a wheelchair in front of him.

"Just get on my back, it will only take a few seconds." Tao Ye held Wang Jing's legs, moved them so that her legs were resting on the edge of the bed, and then half-knelt in front of Wang Jing.

Wang Jing was still confused. He slowly touched Tao Ye's back and put his hands on Tao Ye's shoulders.

Tao Ye put her hands behind her back, supported Wang Jing, and stood up with great effort. She almost fell headfirst. Afraid of falling Wang Jing, she leaned against the bed and tried to stand up again. Her whole face turned red. Finally, she carried Wang Jing up on her back. Then she moved one foot slightly, held her breath, and moved the other foot. She kept moving with her body hunched over, and finally moved to the front of the wheelchair and slowly put Wang Jing on it.

Seeing Tao Ye's difficult appearance, Tian Le couldn't help but shed two lines of tears, and then quickly wiped them away.

After Wang Jing sat on the wheelchair, he used both hands to feel the shape of the chair and the wheels under the chair.

"what is this?"

"This is called a wheelchair." Tao Ye wiped the sweat from her temples and pushed the back of the chair: "Come on, I'll take you out to bask in the sun."

As she spoke, Tao Ye pushed the wheelchair out of the house and into the yard. Caiwei and Tian Le followed her. The soft sunlight shone on them, making Wang Jing feel warm in his heart.

Tao Ye moved the wheelchair closer to the bamboo forest, let Wang Jing put his hands on the bamboo, and said with a smile: "We live in the bamboo forest, and this is the bamboo that accompanies us every day."

Wang Jing nodded.

Tao Ye pushed Wang Jing closer to the flowers and plants, took Wang Jing's hand, placed it on the blooming petals, and said with a smile: "The flowers are blooming, can you feel it?"

Wang Jing stroked the petals, which were soft. He moved down and touched the leaves, which were covered with dew. To the side, he touched a bud that had not yet bloomed, full of vitality.

"I water these flowers and plants every day, and sometimes I move them around. I move them into the house when it's cold, and move them out when it's warm..." Tao Ye looked around, taking in the fragrance that filled the yard, then smiled at Wang Jing, and asked teasingly, "Look at you, do you look like a pot of flowers I raise?"

Wang Jing stretched his hand into the air and felt the breeze coming from the side, so refreshing and pleasant that it unknowingly blew away his tears.

"Tao Ye... I don't deserve you to be so nice to me..." Wang Jing closed his eyes and let the tears fall.

Tao Ye squatted down, squatted in front of Wang Jing's knees, and held Wang Jing's hands: "Being with me is the best gift you can give me. Look, at least now, there is no one and nothing to separate us. I don't care what others say. I am satisfied as long as I can see you every day."

"Tao Ye..." Wang Jing's tears fell on their tightly clasped hands and he could not utter any other words.

Tao Ye stared at each other silently, tears streaming down her face, with a slight smile on her lips.

Caiwei looked at them and sighed softly, and suddenly she noticed that Tian Le beside her had already turned red in the eyes.

"One day... one day in the future, I will definitely stand up... Then, it will be my turn to take care of you... for the rest of my life..." Wang Jing's tears fell like beads from a broken string.
