Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy
Chapter 15 The White-Robed Minister
Gu Yao's soul left his body and, in his sea of consciousness, watched the old corpse in the mountain village with the system. It was incredibly exciting, making the two of them huddle together, trembling with fear.
Having finally finished reading, Gu Yao released the system, calculated that it was about time, and returned to his body.
Gu Yao slowly woke up and immediately saw Xi Yue carrying medicine over.
He strode forward, placed the medicine bowl on the table, turned around and helped Gu Yao up, carefully placing a soft pillow behind him.
"Le'an acted too recklessly today."
Hearing Xi Yue's reproachful words, Gu Yao smiled ingratiatingly.
"I can ride a horse, but the horse today was too wild. Besides, if I don't go out today, it will be a loss of face for the Great Xuan. They have specifically named names. If I don't take on this responsibility, I will lose the Emperor's favor. Cheng Duan, please don't be angry."
Before Xi Yue could finish speaking, Gu Yao started coughing violently, as if he was going to cough up his lungs.
Xi Yue panicked and quickly tried to soothe Gu Yao, not caring about blaming him. No matter how angry he was, he couldn't vent it when he saw Gu Yao's appearance.
Besides, as the eldest son of the Gu family, he didn't need to work so hard.
It's all for him.
Thinking of this, Xi Yue felt a pang of sadness, and his expression softened.
Gu Yao covered his mouth, turned to the side, and coughed so hard he couldn't straighten up, as if he was coughing up his lungs.
Even her originally bloodless face was flushed with difficulty breathing, and her eyes were tinged with a rosy hue from the violent coughing, with a few glistening tears.
The boy's loose black hair fell down his thin back, outlining his slender figure. His slightly protruding shoulder blades made him look like the Narcissus boy from Greek mythology who was about to die, adding a touch of broken beauty.
The Gu Yao of today is not the spirited Vice Minister Gu in the imperial court, but a sickly young man.
He was so weak that he seemed powerless to resist and could be manipulated at will.
Xi Yue's eyes darkened, and he calmly placed his hand on the boy's shoulder, gently soothing him as he lay down.
The boy's black hair was scattered all over the pillow, and his listless expression added to Gu Yao's melancholy.
After finally recovering, Gu Yao felt the stickiness in his palms, clenched his fists to cover the redness in his palms, and suppressed the metallic taste in his throat.
He turned to Xi Yue with a reassuring smile, his voice hoarse, "Cheng Duan, I'm fine."
Xi Yue had a feeling that something was wrong with Gu Yao, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He stared at Gu Yao suspiciously, but Gu Yao still forced a reassuring smile.
A forced smile, it's really ugly.
Seeing nothing wrong, Xi Yue reached out and handed the medicine to Gu Yao.
Gu Yao frowned upon smelling the bitter medicinal odor, but didn't say anything more.
The person, who usually dislikes bitter tastes, unusually drank the medicine in one gulp.
Even the candied fruit that Xi Yue had prepared remained untouched on the plate.
Gu Yao was afraid that Xi Yue would notice something, so he handed him the bowl and pretended to be in low spirits.
Seeing his drowsy appearance, Xi Yue didn't say anything more, so he tucked him into the blanket and told Gu Yao to rest.
Once the footsteps had faded into the distance, Gu Yao threw off the covers and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood onto the ground, splattering a pool of blood on the white sheepskin carpet.
Gu Yao spat out a mouthful of blood, making his already pale face even more terrifying.
He leaned weakly against the soft pillows, like a stranded fish, as if he would run out of breath at any moment.
0529 was so scared that the code became a complete mess.
"Host, are you alright?"
After recovering, Gu Yao looked at the system in his mind, which was in a state of panic and confusion, and was somewhat speechless.
The system was already bad, but now it's even more distorted.
Gu Yao sighed.
No matter how stupid or naive it may seem, it's still your own system.
What can we do?
What else can we do but make do?
"I'm fine, Xiao Jiu, help me pinpoint Xi Yue's location."
0529 saw that Gu Yao had recovered and stopped sobbing.
Despite still sounding like she was about to cry, she dutifully took out the location map.
"Host, Xi Yue is not far away."
Having received the system's reply, Gu Yao wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and smiled knowingly.
As he expected, Xi Yue hadn't gone far.
He propped himself up and gently called to Qingzhu. Qingzhu, who was guarding the door, lifted the curtain and quickly came in.
When Qingzhu saw the bloodstain on the carpet, her expression changed drastically.
He quickly stepped forward and helped Gu Yao up, saying worriedly, "Young Master, I'll go and call Physician Zhang."
Gu Yao pressed Qingzhu's hand and said weakly, "I'm fine. I just coughed up some blood from my chest. Go and clean up the bloodstains carefully so no one can see them."
Seeing that her young master's complexion was slightly rosier than before, Qingzhu felt a little relieved. She lowered her head, quickly rolled up the carpet, and left with the carpet in her arms.
Xi Yue saw Qing Zhu carrying the carpet out from a short distance away and had a guess in his mind, but he still needed to verify it.
He remembered that Gu Yao liked pastries, so he took a plate of them and quickly returned to the tent.
Gu Yao coughed up a mouthful of blood from his chest, and felt much better.
Today, my broken body has been tormented on that raging wild horse for so long, and I am already mentally exhausted.
Anyway, everything that Xi Yue was supposed to see had been prepared. Gu Yao yawned and snuggled into the blanket.
He desperately needs rest.
When Xi Yue came in, he saw Gu Yao's face, which was flushed from sleeping.
The usually gentle, dignified, calm, and polite Young Master Gu slept in a surprisingly childlike manner, burying himself completely in the blankets, his fair face flushed red.
Xi Yue smiled helplessly, looking at the person on the bed, his eyes filled with a tenderness he himself hadn't even realized.
I gently put the plate down, afraid of waking the person sleeping peacefully in bed.
Approaching the bed, one could smell a faint, almost imperceptible odor of blood.
Xi Yue's eyes sharpened as he noticed some bloodstains on the side of the footstool that hadn't been wiped clean. The location was somewhat out of the way, probably because no one had seen them.
Inevitably, a pang of pain rose in my heart.
Fine and dense, penetrating everywhere.
Don't you want me to worry?
why?
Was it because of the life-saving grace at the Spring Hall Gathering?
He couldn't believe that a child raised by the Gu family could be so naive.
Moreover, before that, when he was down on his luck, and at their first meeting, he had already gotten close to him.
Xi Yue recalled the details of their time together.
Gu Yao's gaze towards him was always filled with nostalgia and familiarity, as if they had known each other for a long time.
But he didn't remember seeing Gu Yao before the poetry gathering.
Xi Yue quietly observed the renowned young master Gu, the number one scholar in the capital.
He is now Minister Gu.
His eyes held an inscrutable expression, his deep gaze like a whirlpool of abyss, from which there would be no escape once one was submerged.
Gu Yao's skin always had a sickly pallor due to his chronic illness, and his delicate eyebrows and eyes always carried an inescapable air of sickness, while his drooping eye corners gave him a somewhat innocent look.
Harmless and soft.
This reminded him of someone, someone who had long since left us forever.
A person he will owe for the rest of his life, and who can never make amends.
No matter how much Ren Xiyue scrutinized him, Gu Yao remained unmoved, sleeping soundly.
On the contrary, the system that never sleeps gets really angry when Gu Yao stares at it in his sea of consciousness.
The code is giving me goosebumps from all the scrutiny.
No matter how scared or uneasy she was, 0529 could only curl up into a ball in Gu Yao's sea of consciousness.
0529 covered her mouth in her mind and choked up silently.
Don't disturb the host's sleep, the host is already very tired.
0529 huddled in the corner, caught off guard by Xi Yue's deep gaze, and trembled in fright.
Waaaaah, so scary...
When will the host wake up?
Xi Yue's eyes were filled with doubt, and within that doubt was a hint of madness.
Not content with just looking, he even reached out to touch Gu Yao's face.
0529 couldn't take it anymore and turned back to the system center to seek comfort from the recently acquainted 66 system.
Waaaaah, I'm so sorry, host, it's not that I'm not good enough.
The chosen ones are truly terrifying!
