Chapter 190
Nalan Jingwen led Liu Qishan towards Changsheng's courtyard, their hands clasped tightly together, inseparable.
Nalan Jingwen tilted his head, his gaze gentle as he looked at the person beside him. A gentle breeze ruffled the stray hairs at his temples, revealing his fair and delicate face, which shone like a pearl in the bright sunlight.
Since the day they confronted each other, Nalan Jingwen has seriously considered their relationship. She has given her feelings and sincerity and is unwilling to separate from Liu Qishan like this, even if their relationship may be a conspiracy that has been planned for a long time. She believes that she can break the deadlock.
Regardless of her purpose in seeking immortality, she accepted them all.
She and Liu Qishan had sworn an oath to heaven and earth, promising each other eternal love, and that even in death, Liu Qishan would only die with her.
Noticing the intense gaze, Liu Qishan turned his head, his face calm and his eyes gentle. The hem of his blue robe fluttered in the wind, outlining his strong and upright figure. Tall and elegant, the blue robe suited him well, not appearing bland, but rather showcasing his bamboo-like temperament to the fullest, gentle and handsome, yet exceptionally resilient.
"Is Ah Wen regretting it?"
"Why do you say that?"
"I lied to you."
Nalan Jingwen tightened his grip on his hand, gazing into the distance, his voice soft.
"You said you knew beforehand that you found me, which only means you knew their plan and that I would be assassinated, but that doesn't mean anything. You even saved me, and I should thank you."
"From the time we met until our parting, have you ever done anything to hurt me?"
Liu Qishan's pupils trembled slightly, and his eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, which softened Nalan Jingwen's heart.
"The only thing you did was not tell me that someone would assassinate me. But my identity is what it is. Even if I deliberately hide it, someone will still be able to find out. My reputation is bad, and I have my elder sister backing me. If I had gone into hiding then, it would have played right into their hands. If they had killed me then, it wouldn't have been the wise Prince Nalan Jingwen of Fengtian who died, but just a peasant girl."
So even if Liu Qishan tells her that Nangong Jiuyan is going to assassinate her, can she escape for a while, or can she escape forever?
Liu Qishan was unarmed and she had no power, so it was not a wise move for her to take Liu Qishan to hide.
"As I have said, I have never blamed you from beginning to end. I am just saddened that you chose to leave me in such a tragic way."
That pain was etched into my bones, and even now, I still cannot let it go.
He used himself as bait to lure her into the trap, and she had no regrets, but she felt sorry for him because he had suffered those pains.
Even though so much time has passed and despite his superb medical skills, Liu Qishan's wounds still bear faint marks, which shows how deep those wounds were back then.
She stroked the mottled scars on his wrist, her heart aching beyond measure. He could have left without saying goodbye, but he chose to leave an indelible mark on her heart in this way.
How could Liu Qishan not know that Nalan Jingwen felt sorry for him? Even though he had done such outrageous things behind her back, she had so lightly let it go, only feeling sorry for the harm he had suffered.
"I'm not worthy, do you know that?"
Nalan Jingwen gripped his hand tighter. "All I know is that you are my husband, Nalan Jingwen's husband, my lawfully wedded husband."
Liu Qishan was the first person she met after she came into this world, and no matter what, he was different.
She had promised that no matter what happened in the future, no matter the reason, she would unconditionally forgive him and not pursue the matter any further. Besides, she had never blamed him.
Liu Qishan's eyes trembled, his lips trembled, and when he spoke again, he was choked with sobs.
"Nalan Jingwen was also Liu Qishan's only wife."
No one knows the price he paid for this moment, but the fact that she is now alive and well in front of him is the greatest blessing from heaven, and he is willing to do anything to protect her.
……
The gate to immortality opened, as if it had been prepared and waiting for their arrival. As Nalan Jingwen and his companion approached, they unexpectedly saw a familiar figure.
Nalan Jingwen instinctively stepped in front of Liu Qishan, his eyes warily fixed on the white-clad man before him.
"What are you here for?"
Xue Qingheng's indifferent eyes swept over her, revealing an unreadable emotion that was no longer as ethereal as before, which Nalan Jingwen could not understand.
His gaze finally fell on Liuqi Mountain behind Nalan Jingwen, his cool brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his face.
Liu Qishan had extremely strong senses and could naturally detect his gaze, which made him feel subconsciously disliked and threatened, but he didn't know where the other party's inexplicable hostility came from.
From inside the room came Changsheng's clear and charming voice, "He's here to help me."
She lifted the curtain and slowly walked out, her figure graceful and languid.
Nalan Jingwen then realized that she was alone today, with no one by her side, and there was no one even outside the courtyard.
Why were all the people evacuated?
She's so lazy, is it really okay for her to be left without anyone to serve her? Before, she clearly wanted help with everything, even eating and using the toilet.
“They are not suitable to stay here; the fewer people during the treatment process, the better.”
Nalan Jingwen nodded, but remained vigilant, leading Liu Qishan away from Xue Qingheng.
The two of them were simply too far apart in strength. She knew she couldn't beat him, so she kept her distance. Who knew if Xue Qingheng would suddenly have a fit of madness and attack them?
Liu Qishan was somewhat puzzled and didn't quite understand why Nalan Jingwen had suddenly changed her aura. However, he could definitely sense that she, like him, probably disliked that person.
Changsheng walked over and handed Nalan Jingwen a pill, saying, "Give this to him."
Nalan Jingwen took it and smelled it, but couldn't discern what was inside. "What is this?"
Liu Qishan took the medicine from her hand, put it under his nose, something flashed in his eyes, and then put it in his mouth and swallowed it.
Nalan Jingwen had no time to stop him and could only hurriedly try to pry his mouth open.
"What are you doing?! Why haven't you changed your habit of eating random things? You eat things you don't even know what they're about!"
Liu Qishan gently took her hand, shook his head, and said softly:
"It's just an anesthetic, Changsheng wouldn't harm me."
Nalan Jingwen looked doubtful and disbelieving, then turned to look at Changsheng.
Chang Sheng chuckled and said, "What, you still think I would harm him? If I wanted to harm him, would I have waited for you to come? I wouldn't have saved him in the first place."
Nalan Jingwen's expression did not soften; he said seriously, "Who knows?"
After spending these few days together, she had gotten to know her temperament a bit. On the surface, she seemed quirky and often made people so angry they wanted to vomit blood, but she was also very perceptive, quick-witted, and had a changeable personality, always doing whatever she wanted.
Who knows if she might suddenly turn on Liu Qishan?
