Chapter 50 Benefactor
Gao Jing hurriedly found a clean handkerchief and pressed it on the back of Yan Yu's hand.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief, freed one hand, and wiped the cold sweat from his face with his sleeve.
After a while, Yan Yu gradually woke up.
Yan Yu saw Gao Jing pressing the back of his hand, and he looked puzzled.
"What are you doing?"
Gao Jing had already thought of an explanation, but his performance was a little stiff.
"After Lord Lin's diagnosis, he asked me to press this area."
"He left no explanation."
"I guess it's to open up the acupuncture points."
"How do you feel, my lord?"
"Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"
Yan Yu heard the embarrassment in his tone.
Feeling the pain at the needle hole on the back of his hand, Yan Yu guessed who was treating him.
"You peeled off my IV patch?"
Gao Jing faked a cough to hide his embarrassment.
"What IV patch?"
"I don't know."
Yan Yu brushed his hand away and saw that the needle holes on the back of his hand were already swollen and purple under the handkerchief.
For a moment, I didn't know whether to feel helpless or angry.
"I just finished the infusion and you peeled off the infusion patch?"
"If you don't understand medicine, don't get involved."
"Look for yourself, how swollen it is?"
Gao Jing looked guilty and immediately bowed his head and knelt down.
"I know I was wrong, please calm down, Your Majesty."
"Master Lin cured your injury and went to boil medicine."
"I just wanted to help, but I ended up doing more harm than good."
Yan Yu heard the key point.
"Lin Mu treated my injury?"
"No one else intervened?"
Gao Jing shook his head, his tone firm.
"No."
"Lord Lin treated the prince's injuries alone, without any intervention from others."
"Lord Lin has put in a lot of effort and has not rested for a moment. He has been doing his best to treat the patient."
Yan Yu stared at him, her eyes sharp.
"Didn't the king say that she was not allowed to receive treatment?"
Gao Jing pretended to be innocent and puzzled, but in fact he was trembling with fear and fright.
"I remember the prince's order not to treat Miss Ning San."
"But I don't know when you said that you don't allow Lord Lin to treat him?"
Yan Yu's expression was stern, like a cold north wind, making people feel as if they were on the edge of an abyss.
"Do you need me to explain it to you?"
"I can see that this kind of treatment could never have been done by Lin Mu!"
Gao Jing was so frightened that he immediately fell to the ground and kowtowed.
"I admit my crime, and I beg for forgiveness, Your Majesty!"
Before he finished speaking, Lin Mu walked in carrying a bowl of medicine.
After offering the medicine with both hands, Lin Mu knelt beside Gao Jing and took the initiative to admit his mistake.
"Your Majesty, it was my humble servant's idea to ask Miss Ning San to treat me."
"Mr. Gao doesn't know about this."
"My humble medical skills are limited and it is difficult for me to cure the prince's serious injuries. I have no choice but to ask for help from Miss Ning San."
"I am willing to be punished, Your Majesty, please punish me."
Gao Jing immediately pleaded for mercy.
"Your Majesty, you were already unconscious when Lord Lin arrived."
"I was negligent for a moment and did not inform Lord Lin of your instructions in time."
"Lord Lin's request for help from Miss Ning San was an unintentional mistake."
"If the prince wants to punish me, I will bear the responsibility."
Yan Yu's anger gradually subsided.
They have always been like this since childhood, and Yan Yu has long been accustomed to it.
The two of them have a relationship as close as brothers.
Aren't the three of them close friends who grew up together?
"Forget it, you guys have good intentions, I understand."
"Now that she is here, please come in."
"I guess she has something else to ask me."
Gao Jing and Lin Mu responded at the same time.
"Yes."
Then, Ning Yunxi walked in.
Gao Jing and Lin Mu followed Yan Yu's instructions and retreated.
Yan Yu sat down despite his injuries and motioned Ning Yunxi to take a seat.
As soon as Ning Yunxi sat down, she couldn't wait to express her true feelings.
"What happened today is all my fault. If you are angry, you can punish me in any way you want."
"Just don't deny the Golden Orchid Covenant."
"Since we became sworn brothers, I have never thought of betraying you."
"Qiu Bi and I are like sisters. We grew up together."
"I would like to make an analogy: my brother, Lord Gao, and Lord Lin are close friends and share the same ideals."
"Qiu Bi, like me, has never seen her biological parents since she was born. After waiting for twenty-two years, she finally had the chance to meet them."
"How could I have expected that the Prince of Chen would interfere?"
"I know he wants to deal with you, but..."
"Brother, how can I bear to watch Qiu Bi with longing and admiring for so long, and in the end, only to see two coffins?"
"So, I came up with a quick solution and wrote to you secretly. If everything goes well..."
She hesitated to speak.
Yan Yu understood what she meant.
"Are you wondering why I don't want to believe you?"
Ning Yunxi's eyes were filled with tears and she lowered her head guiltily.
"Yes."
Yan Yu sighed heavily.
"Your letter tells me to hand my life over to you. If you want me to live, I will live. If you want me to die, I will die."
"I'm not a fool, how can I trust you?"
"My father has almost never been suspicious of any of his subjects throughout his life."
"I obeyed the orders of the two important officials, the Grand Marshal and the Grand Minister, without any doubt."
"The results of it?"
"He was only in his thirties when he died."
"The battle of Yueshengxingliang was not only a disaster for him, but also for the entire clan, young and old, with no one surviving."
"I am responsible for the heroic sacrifice of my entire clan, young and old. How can I gamble with you on the safety of Qiubi's parents by giving up the lives of my entire clan?"
"If I fail, how can I face them?"
"As soon as I arrived in this strange land, they died. It was all because of me."
“After that, the important task of taking back the Yan clan’s world was inexplicably handed over to me.”
"Who would be willing to shoulder such a heavy burden? I am no exception."
"I wanted to flee and didn't want to stay, but you said that the stars of Shengping's 30 years would not appear at all."
"Not only can I not go back to the 22nd century, but if I'm not careful, I'll die here."
"I think so. The astrology of the 22nd century is artificially created by technology."
"Where did technology come from in the ancient times of the alien continent?"
Ning Yunxi felt even more apologetic when she heard this.
"It's true that I didn't think it through."
"Brother, I'm sorry."
Yan Yu raised her eyes slightly and recalled carefully.
"I have a benefactor named Fang Renshu."
Hearing this name, Ning Yunxi's pupils moved slightly.
Yan Yu did not notice this detail and just continued to narrate.
"The Fang clan was originally a famous and prominent clan, and an important official of the Yan clan."
"When I was just born, Gu Mengzhen wanted to swaddle me, but she saved me."
"In just one year, she planned for me, planted informants from all sides, alienated the emperor and his subjects, and helped me take control of the Supervisory Office and the State Governor's Office."
"Later, she was murdered because of me."
"That's also why I'm so cautious."
"If something happens to me, won't all these things she risked her life to leave for me fall into the hands of the enemy?"
"The grace of giving birth to a new person should not be betrayed. I cannot let her down."
"Can you understand?"
Ning Yunxi nodded.
"Yeah, I understand."
Yan Yu took off a cloak and covered himself with it.
"I know you and Gu Nianting have never conspired together."
"But I also know that you don't take me seriously."
"Many things and many people are more important than me in your heart."
"So, let's just forget it."
"I've already told you the reason."
“I can’t afford to lose.”
