After dinner, Ye Zi changed Gu Yan's medicine.

The sword pierced into the waist and abdomen, almost piercing through. Fortunately, Gu Yan's martial arts foundation was still there, and he avoided the vital point in an emergency, so it didn't cause a catastrophe.

But even so, the bright red scar that had just scabbed over the white porcelain texture still looked a little shocking.

Ye Zi clenched and loosened her fingertips, trembling slightly, helped Gu Yan change the medicine, rewrapped the bandage, and then raised her head and said: "The wound is healing well, you need to be more careful these few days, don't let the wound open again .”

Gu Yan didn't take it seriously and said, "Actually, it's already been fine, it's just you making a fuss out of a molehill."

While helping him to dress, Ye Zi scolded, "You still blame the imperial physician for your broken body? You don't want to take care of him for two more days, do you want to pass out outside again tomorrow?"

Gu Yan didn't answer, just looked at him with a smile.

Ye Zi was uncomfortable being watched by him, she tilted her head and asked, "What do you see me doing?"

Gu Yan teased and said, "I just feel... your tone of voice is becoming more and more like a mistress's demeanor. Isn't it, Princess Rui?"

"Stop talking nonsense." Ye Zi's ears were burning hot from his gaze, and she hurriedly avoided his gaze, focusing on tidying up the gauze and ointment that had been replaced.

Gu Yan leaned on the head of the bed leisurely and said, "Princess Rui, I want to take a bath."

Gu Yan's wound should not touch water, and Ye Zi will take care of him to take a bath during this time.

Ye Zi put the hot water on and carefully helped him into the clean room.

Gu Yan didn't wear a crown when he was sick, he just tied it up with a hair tie.Ye Zi supported Gu Yan to lie down on the soft couch, picked up his hair belt, and his long jet-black hair immediately fell down.

During the half month of Gu Yan's illness, he lost a lot of weight, and his outline became more and more profound. Under the warm light of the clean room, his skin was pale and almost transparent.

Ye Zi's breath became stagnant when he saw it, and he quickly lowered his head to calm down.

After a long while, Gu Yan suddenly said: "I have sent someone to investigate the source of what Si Wei said today, to see if it is true or someone is deliberately spreading rumors."

Ye Zi scooped up a ladle of hot water to help Gu Yan soak his hair, rubbed it with soap powder, "Okay."

Gu Yan looked up at Ye Zi's movements, and said softly, "Don't worry, with me here, no one will dare to touch you."

Ye Zi paused for a moment.

This is what Gu Yan said to him in his dream, to be precise, it was to Huaiyuan...

Ye Zi's strangeness at this moment did not escape Gu Yan's eyes, he asked in a low voice: "A Zi, you have something on your mind."

Ye Zi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "No..."

Gu Yan sighed softly, raised his hand, and wiped off the foam that accidentally stained Ye Zi's face: "Do you know how good you are at hiding yourself?"

Gu Yan brushed Ye Zi's cheek lightly with his fingertips, and said in a gentle voice, "You have been preoccupied every day these days, and you almost put the words "bad mood" on your face."

"Azi, I don't want to press you, but... I don't want to see you go on like this, my heart aches."

Ye Zi had a sore nose, and said in a low voice, "Why..."

"what?"

Ye Zi took a deep breath, looked down at him, "Why are you being so nice to me?"

Gu Yan smiled lightly: "Didn't I tell you all about it, I am happy with you."

Ye Zi pursed her lips and stopped talking.

He helped Gu Yan wash his hair, and wrung out the handkerchief to wipe his body.There was a moment of silence in the clean room, and Gu Yan suddenly took his hand: "Azi, this is the first time I treat someone like this."

Gu Yan raised his eyes to look at him, and for the first time there was a bit of embarrassment in his eyes.He pursed his lips and said after deliberation: "I don't know how to treat others well, I can only do my best to give you what I think is the best, but I don't know if I did something wrong to make you unhappy."

"If something offends you or makes you feel unhappy, you tell me, and I can change it. I just... don't want to see you like this."

Ye Zi said in a hoarse voice, "This is the first time you treat someone like this?"

Gu Yan nodded: "Yes."

"Then..." Ye Zi closed his eyes, forcefully suppressing the name that was about to blurt out.He paused and asked again, "Did you not treat others well in the past?"

"Why do you ask that?"

Ye Zi dodged his eyes and didn't say any more.

Gu Yan held Ye Zi's wrist, looked up at the wooden beam at the top of the clean room, and looked far away: "A long time ago, there was indeed a person who treated me very well, so good that he was even willing to sacrifice his life for me."

Ye Zi's fingers trembled, and a chill came from his heart.

Gu Yan lowered his eyes and said softly: "But I don't know anything."

"I took everything for granted and accepted his contributions openly, but never considered his feelings. I, I didn't even treat him well one day, not once."

"...By the time I knew it, I had completely lost him."

Gu Yan didn't know what to think of, and turned his eyes away, blood was faintly showing in his eyes.He lowered his expression, and his voice was a little hoarse: "I don't want to follow in that footsteps again, I can't... can't bear to lose anything anymore."

He unconsciously exerted some force on his hand, which made Ye Zi feel painful.

Ye Zi lowered her head and hugged him gently.

"No." Ye Zi whispered in his ear, "My lord... Zicheng, you won't lose anything, never again."

Gu Yan's eyes moved: "What did you call me, call me again."

Ye Zi paused for a moment, then said obediently, "...Zi Cheng."

The blood in Gu Yan's eyes faded a little, he fell down on the soft couch wearily, and smiled softly: "Help me back, I'm tired."

Ye Zi helped Gu Yan clean himself, put on his clothes, and helped him back to the bed.He ordered the maidservant to bring a charcoal fire to warm the room, and then found a clean handkerchief to help Gu Yan wipe his hair.

Gu Yan closed his eyes and fell on the bed, with a severe headache, he grabbed his hand indiscriminately: "Don't do it, lie down with me for a while."

Ye Zi paused, and said, "No, wait until your hair is dry before going to bed, or you will have a headache tomorrow."

"It won't hurt more than now." Gu Yan tried his best to maintain his sanity and whispered.

Ye Zi thought for a while, heated up the charcoal fire in the room, and lay down next to Gu Yan in his clothes.The room was warmed by the charcoal fire, and Gu Yan's body was filled with moist moisture, mixed with the scent of soap and herbs, and Ye Zi's mood gradually calmed down.

He gently pressed Gu Yan's temples, and said in a warm voice, "My lord, you don't have to feel guilty about it."

Gu Yan frowned, not knowing whether he heard it or not.

Ye Zi said softly: "If that person is me, I will definitely not blame you."

"A person lives a lifetime, how he wants to live, who he wants to be good to, is his own choice, and has nothing to do with others. Since it is wishful thinking, how can he expect anything in return. I don't think he will care."

Gu Yan's eyes were closed tightly, and his voice was hoarse: "You are lying to me."

Ye Zi hesitated, and replied, "I haven't."

"Why not." Gu Yan opened his eyes, bloodshot eyes, "You are lying to me now."

He looked a little scary like this, Ye Zi flinched, and before he could respond, Gu Yan said again: "Wishful thinking, not expecting anything in return? Do you think you are that kind of person? No, of course you are not...you never were. "

"No one is selfless. Everything you do to me, whether intentionally or intentionally... You want me to remember you forever, so that I can't forget you or leave you, right?"

"I did something wrong in the past. I shouldn't have ignored your feelings like that, so you took revenge on me. You walked away cleanly and left me in this world. I will always miss you and think of you..."

"……you succeeded."

His voice was low and hoarse, almost making Ye Zi breathless.

Ye Zi's heart ached, and his eyes slowly turned red: "My lord, you're sick again, I'll help you decoct the medicine."

"I won't let you go." Gu Yan grabbed his wrist and pressed him firmly on the bed.

Ye Zi was so frightened that he struggled a bit, but he didn't dare to use any force. He clearly felt the bandages on the opponent's waist and abdomen loosen during the movement: "My lord, your injury..."

Gu Yan couldn't hear anything, his eyes were terribly red, and he was so gloomy that he could almost bleed.Ye Zi wanted to say something more, but kisses immediately fell on his face.Gu Yan's actions seemed fierce, but when he actually met Ye Zi, he was still as gentle and compassionate as ever.

Ye Zi quickly indulged in this overly gentle kiss, he lost all his strength in struggling, and couldn't help reaching out to grab the man's skirt.

Gu Yan kissed him tenderly, and said softly: "I will never let you leave me again, absolutely not."

Ye Zi's fingertips thumped, as if a basin of cold water had been poured head-on, from head to toe.

Ye Zi opened his eyes to look at him, and suddenly said softly, "Who are you talking about?"

His voice trembled, his throat was sore: "...Is it me, or Huaiyuan?"

Gu Yan's consciousness was confused, he touched Ye Zi's face, leaned up to kiss his eyes, and said softly, "You are Huaiyuan."

Ye Zi froze, her mind buzzing continuously, she even forgot to react.After an unknown amount of time, Gu Yan exhausted his strength and finally couldn't hold on anymore, and fell asleep on Ye Zi's body.

It took Ye Zi a while to realize that the person on his body was still. He carefully put the person on the bed, got up and saw that the bandage on the latter's body had completely loosened, and the faint blood stained the white gauze, which looked shocking.

Ye Zi silently helped Gu Yan re-bandage the wound, then helped him dry his wet hair, and covered him with a quilt.

After doing this, Ye Zi sat on the head of the bed, staring blankly at Gu Yan's sleeping profile.

A moment later, a white light flashed in the room, and the little green grass returned to its original shape, slowly crawling out from the clothes.

He silently jumped out of the bedroom from the window and crawled into the grass.

Ye Zi curled up in the middle of the grass, the flower spikes were buried low in the leaves, and the soft and slender stems and leaves trembled slightly with the night wind.

The night sky outside the window was starless and moonless, and dark clouds enveloped the entire city of Chang'an, making it so stuffy that one could hardly breathe.

When Gu Yan woke up the next day, he only felt a splitting headache.He moaned impatiently, and someone immediately reached out to help him up.A bowl of water was brought to him, and Gu Yan took a sip from the man's hand, feeling bitter in his mouth.

Gu Yan frowned and said, "What..."

Qiutang replied: "The soup is boiled for you."

Gu Yan opened his eyes, his expression turned cold immediately: "Why is it you, princess?"

Qiu Tang said: "Yesterday your wound opened, Wangfei went to find a doctor for you early in the morning."

Gu Yan took the medicine bowl and said, "It's good to ask the doctor to send someone there, why is he running around by himself?"

Qiutang shook her head: "I don't know."

Gu Yan didn't say anything else, he drank the medicine in one gulp, and ordered: "Go down, let someone find Si Wei."

Qiutang answered "Yes", turned around and left the room.Gu Yan leaned on the head of the bed and closed his eyes to rest his mind. After a while, he heard the door of the room being gently pushed open.

Si Wei walked in: "Master, are you looking for me?"

Gu Yan opened his eyes and asked, "How did you find out about Princess Rui earlier?"

Si Wei hesitated for a moment, and Gu Yan asked back, "Haven't you found it yet?"

Si Wei lowered his head: "Yes."

Gu Yan pressed his temples and sighed softly: "Did you tell him about the Biezhuang outside the city?"
