Chapter 187
"You can choose between dispelling the obstruction of your profound energy or Liu Qishan's eyes."
"I choose the eyes of Qishan."
She didn't hesitate at all, and didn't even consider herself. Liu Qishan was too important to her. If she could cure Liu Qishan's eyes, she would spare no expense.
"sure?"
"determine."
Liu Qishan lifted his head from her embrace, took her hand, and looked at her with disapproval.
"Ah Wen, it's not worth it."
Nalan Jingwen took his hand into his palm and said softly, "You deserve it. I once said that I would search the world for the best doctors to cure your eyes. Now that you have this opportunity, why not seize it?"
Liu Qishan shook his head again, his expression somewhat anxious.
“I know my own eyes. They can’t be cured. You don’t need to give up such a good opportunity for me. You are the most important person.”
"No need to say more, my mind is made up."
Chang Sheng clapped his hands lightly, "That's truly heartfelt."
"You can only choose one, are you sure?"
She asked again, and Nalan Jingwen looked into her eyes and nodded.
Chang Sheng stood up, brushing off imaginary dust from his clothes. "Alright, I'll come find you again in five days. Take good rest these next few days."
She glanced at Liu Qishan, her eyes filled with an ambiguous expression, and her tone was no longer as charming and cute as before, but rather carried a deeper meaning.
"And while you're at it, spend some quality time with your little husband."
Nalan Jingwen sensed something amiss in her words, and his expression darkened slightly.
Why five days?
"Your body probably can't handle it now."
Changsheng left with only this one sentence before being helped away, leaving Nalan Jingwen and the other person completely bewildered.
Liu Qishan frowned, his lifeless eyes staring in the direction Changsheng had left, deep in thought. Then he tilted his head slightly and said, "Awen, you've changed."
Nalan Jingwen snapped out of his daze, looking somewhat puzzled, but quickly realized what he meant and lowered his head to kiss his forehead.
"I will grant you anything, except this one thing."
She always has her own set of principles for doing things. She weighs the pros and cons of everything, distinguishes between priorities, and never acts willfully or impulsively. Her choice to heal Liu Qishan's eyes was not only driven by selfish motives, but also by a test of the relationship between Liu Qishan and Changsheng.
She was keenly aware that the relationship between Liu Qishan and Changsheng was far more complex than simply a matter of someone saving her life.
Perhaps there are some unspeakable secrets.
"You are my husband, whom I have sworn an oath to heaven and earth for. I should prioritize you in everything I do. Only when you are well can I be well. Do you understand, Qishan?"
They were like twin branches intertwined, dependent on each other, sharing life and death.
Liu Qishan remained silent, grasping her hand tightly with his fingers intertwined. Even without speaking, Nalan Jingwen understood his meaning.
"You disregarded my wishes and secretly fed me that drug, leaving me no choice but to watch you go to your death. Do you know what I was thinking at that time?"
Liu Qishan lowered his eyes and remained silent.
"At that time, I thought that I would definitely find you. Even if you died, I would definitely capture your soul and keep you by my side for all eternity, so that you could never go against my will again."
Nalan Jingwen's voice was deep and carried a hint of danger.
Even now, the thought of that scene still makes her feel suffocated, like a nightmare that haunts her constantly.
"Is Ah Wen blaming me? Is that why he's punishing me this way?"
She knew perfectly well that he was the person she cared about most, yet she still did this, sacrificing herself to choose to treat his eyes.
“I don’t blame you. From beginning to end, I have never blamed you.”
She blamed herself, blamed herself for being too weak, blamed herself for not protecting him, blamed herself for being too useless, for making him choose to sacrifice himself to save her in that critical moment.
"Please don't leave me again, okay?"
"I love you."
She could no longer bear such a separation.
Liu Qishan was like an indelible mark on her heart, a pain that pierced her soul day and night, filled with regret and hatred, a wound that went deep into her bones, which she could no longer bear.
Liu Qishan's fingertips trembled slightly, his breathing became completely disordered, he slowly closed his eyes, a clear tear slid down from the corner of his eye and dripped onto the back of Nalan Jingwen's hand.
"it is good."
"..."
Nalan Jingwen didn't know when she fell asleep. Her body felt heavy and tired, but this time she slept more peacefully than ever before. There were no terrifying shadows or heart-wrenching cries in her dreams, only tranquility.
Her Liu Qishan has truly returned, lying in her arms.
It was warm and familiar.
She missed him so much...
……
……
Nalan Jingwen and Liu Qishan spent two days alone. During this time, apart from the servants, no one disturbed them. Surprisingly, there were no women serving them; all the servants were handsome men. Fearing that Liu Qishan might overthink things, she simply let them stay outside.
However, she still worried about Jinse and the others, wondering if they had left Qilin safely.
In the afternoon, after Liu Qishan fell asleep, Nalan Jingwen left the courtyard for the first time.
This place is like a fairyland, with flowering trees in full bloom, their fragrance filling the air, and the water surface shrouded in mist, with a light fog drifting by, like a veil covering the surface, the blue waves rippling, like a fairyland in the heavens.
Every plant and tree here is extremely rare, and every decoration on the pavilions and terraces is extremely luxurious, making even the imperial palace seem insignificant.
Nalan Jingwen looked him over, his steps slow and deliberate.
This woman, with such immense wealth, is truly unfathomable.
She walked and looked around, searching for the woman's courtyard. It wasn't hard to find; the most luxurious courtyard must be hers.
No one stopped her on the road. The men only gave her a slight bow before passing by, seemingly not surprised that she was out and about. It was obvious that the woman had given them instructions.
She walked all the way to the most magnificent courtyard, where even the gate was made of thousand-year-old sandalwood and gold. Nalan Jingwen was speechless.
How much money do you have to spend to afford that kind of extravagance?
As she passed through the courtyard, she felt numb. She reached out and pushed open the door, and immediately saw the woman lying on the soft couch. Her face was still covered by a white veil, and she looked languid and content. She held a glass cup in her hand, and her wide sleeves slid down, revealing her slender, white arms. Two men were kneeling beside her, one massaging her and the other fanning her.
Nalan Jingwen's forehead twitched slightly; he certainly knew how to enjoy himself.
"Why are you here? Aren't you two being all lovey-dovey with your little husband?"
Her voice was languid and soft, slightly tipsy, and she didn't even open her eyes.
Nalan Jingwen casually found a chair and sat down, looking at her.
"I want to ask you about something."
