Chapter 123 Not willing to wake up
Chapter 123 Not willing to wake up
Zhao Yuan's face was frighteningly gloomy, and he immediately ordered: "A thorough investigation of the palace?"
For a moment, the entire palace was plunged into a tense atmosphere.
Zhao Yuan was sitting in the study, frowning, thinking...
After this major purge in the palace, all those people with bad intentions hiding in Prince Rui's palace were cleared out.
Surprisingly, there was nothing wrong with Princess Mu's Dream Courtyard. This was a very rare situation, after all, most people's courtyards would have some small secrets or troubles. However, Mu Shirley's courtyard was amazingly clean.
Zhao Yuan couldn't help but look at Mu Xueli with new eyes. He originally thought she was just an ordinary woman, but now it seems that she has extraordinary wisdom and ability. Maybe she is not as simple as she seems, maybe she hides many unknown talents and charms.
On the other hand, Lin Yan's Crescent Moon Courtyard was equally impressive. Unlike Mu Xueli, there were very few people in the Crescent Moon Courtyard. This was not because Lin Yan was unpopular, but because of her personal preference.
In contrast, other courtyards usually had more than ten servants, but her courtyard had only five, including two rough maids, two personal maids, and one person sent by Wei Ma to guard the shop. This was also an important reason why this incident could not be completely prevented.
I remember A Yan once said that too many people will lead to intrigue and trouble, so just having enough people is enough. It makes sense when you think about it.
Looking at Lin Yan with her eyes closed and breathing weakly, Zhao Yuan felt a pang of pain in his heart, but he felt powerless. He didn't know how to wake her up, he could only guard her silently, hoping that she would get better soon.
Lin Yan didn't want to wake up. She heard Zhao Yuan whispering in her ear, but she didn't want to wake up. Zhiye died because of saving her, and Green Tea also died because of her. But she didn't hurt anyone, why did she end up like this? Why did someone want to plot against her at all costs?
She had never seen Concubine De, but she had become a thorn in her side. If it wasn't for Concubine Mu's instigation, she would rather chew the lemon peel and eat it.
In addition, when she was in Jinling, she was abducted for no apparent reason. Although the thieves claimed to be acting on the orders of the prince, Lin Yan did not completely believe it. After all, she was just a concubine in the palace. How could it be worth it for the prince to spend a lot of manpower and resources to send someone to assassinate her? In Lin Yan's impression, the prince was only interested in making money. If it was profitable, he would even be willing to lower himself and participate in it; but if it was not profitable, he would never get involved.
She has nothing now, so it is really unnecessary for the prince to go to great lengths to send people to kill her.
"Concubine Lin, if you don't wake up, prepare for your death!" Doctor Jiang frowned and said in a heavy tone. He really couldn't understand why his blood and qi were getting weaker day by day when the medicine had obviously taken effect and his injuries had almost recovered. This made him feel very confused and helpless.
"No, Doctor Jiang, you must find a way to save her." Zhao Yuan tightly grasped Doctor Jiang's hand, his eyes full of anxiety and despair. His voice was low and firm, as if carrying an irresistible force. "No matter how much it costs, please save her. I can't lose her... absolutely not!"
Zhao Yuan's eyes were filled with affection and concern for Lin Yan, which moved people.
"Alas..." Doctor Jiang sighed deeply and shook his head. He could feel Zhao Yuan's deep affection for Lin Yan, but facing this situation, he was powerless. "There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart!" He sighed, with a deep sorrow in his heart. He had a feeling that Lin Yan wanted to die, so she became like this. However, he could not change this.
"How is it possible?" Zhao Yuan stared at Doctor Jiang with his eyes wide open in disbelief. He couldn't understand why Lin Yan wanted to die. He always thought that he had given her the best love and care. Wasn't that enough? He fell into deep self-blame and doubt.
"Your Highness, once you enter a wealthy family, it's like being in a deep sea. I've seen this happen many times." Doctor Jiang said helplessly. He knew the complexity and cruelty of palace life. Under the interweaving of power and interests, people's hearts often become complicated and unpredictable. "Perhaps, Concubine Lin has her own difficulties and pains, but we just don't know about them."
Zhao Yuan was silent. He recalled every moment he had spent with Lin Yan. Those beautiful memories had now become a pain in his heart. He realized that even the closest people could hide secrets and pain deep in their hearts.
"Try to talk to her more in her ear, maybe you can arouse her desire to live. May God bless you." Doctor Jiang packed up his medicine box, bowed and said goodbye, then turned and left, leaving Zhao Yuan alone to watch over Lin Yan quietly.
Zhao Yuan sat by the bed, gently holding Lin Yan's hand, feeling her weak pulse. He knew that time was running out and he had to find a solution to the problem as soon as possible.
Lin Yan stood quietly in the darkness, her figure seemed to blend into the night, without the slightest ups and downs. She felt exhausted physically and mentally. She had always chosen to escape, but never had a good ending. Facing those cruel and unscrupulous people, she felt extremely confused and helpless. Although she had done nothing wrong, they kept chasing her and wanted to take her life.
These people were like demons, greedy, cruel, and merciless. Lin Yan couldn't help asking herself: "What did I do wrong? Why did I have to suffer so much?" However, she knew that complaining would be useless, and she could only get out of the predicament by changing herself.
She decided not to run away, but to face the reality bravely. She realized that running away would only make the enemy more arrogant, and she would become weaker and weaker. So, she decided to fight back and become stronger to protect herself.
At the same time, Lin Yan began to re-evaluate Zhao Yuan's favor to her. In the past, she regarded it as a burden, but now, she suddenly realized that this might be her chance to turn things around. She decided to use this favor to exchange for more resources and power to improve her own strength.
From this moment on, Lin Yan was reborn. She was no longer afraid or retreating, but bravely moving forward and actively responding to challenges. She wanted to learn the rules of this era, no longer be influenced by others, and make those who harmed her pay the price.
In the dead of night, Zhao Yuan gently stroked Lin Yan's pale and thin cheek, and tucked the strands of hair that fell on her forehead to her ears: "Ayan, I know you feel wronged, and I also know that you don't want to stay in the backyard all day long doing nothing. As long as you wake up, I promise you that you can go out of the house and do business as you like in the future. As long as you are happy and as long as you don't leave me, I will support you in whatever you want to do. Don't sleep anymore, wake up, okay."
