Chapter Three: I Shouldn't Have Saved You (Part One)
You'd rather believe them,
She doesn't trust anyone close to her,
She doesn't trust herself either.
Even she doesn't believe in herself.
"Miss Yin, please get up quickly," Dr. Xi helped the woman kneeling on the ground to stand up and speak.
"Dr. Xi, if you refuse to save Shi Ze, I will kneel and never get up. Please, save Shi Ze!" The woman on the ground had swollen eyes, and her once clear and bright eyes were now blurred with tears.
Seeing that Dr. Xi had not spoken, the woman began to kowtow continuously.
"Miss Yin, please get up quickly, I can't afford to be disrespectful!"
"Dr. Xi, only you can save Shi Ze, please, no matter what method, please think again!" The woman's voice was already hoarse, obviously she had been crying, and it was the kind of heartbreaking sobbing.
"You can get up first, there is a way, and another method, but..."
"You say, I can definitely do it, you tell me."
"Miss Yin. The success rate of this method is only 20%, even with the addition of elixirs, it's only 30% certain. It's not worth exchanging your chastity for the life of the second young master of the Tang family!"
"30% is enough, it's worth it, it's worth it." Yin Yue stood up, tightly grabbing Dr. Xi's sleeve, smiling through tears.
"Dr. Xi, it's okay. Give me the elixir, I'm willing," said Miss Yin.
"Miss Yin, I'm sorry, I can't give you this medicine. Your father has been kind to me, and I can't bear to see you jump into the fire pit." Seeing no sign of surrender on the woman's face, Dr. Xi continued with a deep tone, "Miss, with your background, there are countless people in this world who could live a peaceful life with you. Why do you insist on hanging yourself on Tang Shize? Do you have feelings for him, and does he truly care for you?"
Yin Yue said nothing, just shook her head. Dr. Xi let out a long sigh and then turned and left.
At night, Yin Yue knelt in front of Dr. Xi's house. The once-famous Yin Mansion young lady now looked haggard, with disheveled hair. After a day of light rain, her clothes were already stained by the pooled water on the ground.
Dr. Xi turned off the lights in the room, quietly approached the door, and looked through the small peephole at Yin Yue kneeling motionless on the ground. Shaking his head, he sighed, "Why must you be so stubborn?"
After days without eating, Yin Yue was weak and collapsed on the ground. The floor was icy, and mud and water soaked into her beautiful hair. Her hair ornament fell into the mud and instantly lost its former luster, tightly surrounded by the mud and water, as if it could never be cleaned again.
When she woke up again, Yin Yue was lying on the cold bed next to Tang Shize, with a pill and a note on the pillow.
Without even looking at the note, Yin Yue fed the pill to Tang Shize, giving her purity to this person who was indifferent to her feelings.
I don't know how long it has been, Yin Yue woke up. She carefully got out of bed, enduring the discomfort all over her body, afraid of waking up the person next to her.
She felt a wave of pain on her face, and staggered to the bronze mirror to see a terrifying scar on her face. She trembled as she picked up the piece of paper next to her.
By sacrificing herself, she succeeded.
And this scar is the price.
No matter how much rouge is used, the scar that cannot be covered is the price of saving him.
However, she has no regrets at all.
"Is it worth it?" Dr. Xi's eyes were filled with heartache as he looked at the woman, whose face looked even more haggard.
Tears slid from the corners of her eyes, making her look so helpless.
"I should be worth it. I've given him everything I have." Yin Yue smiled, put down the brush in her hand, slowly turned her head, and looked at Tang Shize lying quietly on the bed. Tears streamed down her cheeks, passing over the horrifying scar, causing waves of pain, but Yin Yue didn't mind, just quietly watching the person on the bed.
In her eyes, there was still a glimmer of hope.
"You really hid Young Master Tang here. Seize this woman!" A hurried sound of footsteps came, causing a commotion in the courtyard.
"Miss Yin, why do you look so haggard?" a woman in a light purple dress spoke.
"Miss Fu, you're here after all," Yin Yue withdrew her gaze and slowly stood up.
"Yin Yue, you have a lot of nerve! How dare you commit such an act of kidnapping! Someone, arrest this treacherous woman and throw her into the dungeon!" The one giving the order is the third princess of the current dynasty, Princess Fochuan.
"Yes," the guard behind her obeyed and prepared to step forward to take the person.
"Wait, Your Highness, there is still one thing I haven't finished. Please be kind and give me another half hour."
"Why should I? You..." Fo Chuan still domineering.
"Your Highness, are you afraid that your subordinates won't be able to keep an eye on a weak woman like me?" Yin Yue said provocatively.
"How dare you! Yin Yue, you have some nerve. This is Princess Fochuan! Do you dare to defy the decree?"
" Fu Sanen, I was talking to the princess. What right do you have to interrupt?" Yin Yue questioned sharply, the woman next to Princess Fochuan showing disdain on her face and coldness in her eyes.
"You, hurry up and keep an eye on her!" Fo Chuan felt a tremor in her heart, and relaxed a bit. She had long heard about the temperament of the young lady from Yin Mansion, and was truly afraid she might do something reckless. But thinking that the person had already been caught, it wouldn't make much difference for a while, so she generously gave about an hour or so.
Fu Sanen Even if there is dissatisfaction in my heart, I dare not show it, I can only endure and wait.
Yin Yue painted a stunning peony on the terrifying scar on the side of her face, her almost icy fingers touched Tang Shize's face, and she weakly asked, "Shi Ze, do you think I'm worth it?"
Tang Shize The poison in his body has spread to Yin Yue, and he shudders slightly from the cold stimulation.
In a blur, he sees a woman with a very familiar figure being pushed out of the house by a group of people. The only thing he remembers vividly is the stunning red flower on the woman's face and the indescribably familiar or unfamiliar fragrance.
Extreme physical weakness caused him to pass out again, and he heard a woman's soft voice by his ear: "Shi Ze, now it's just me left."
By the time the large group of people had left, it was almost dawn.
Dr. Xi was forced to drink the medicine and couldn't speak anymore. His tendons were cut off and he was thrown into the medicine shed.
"Get out of here!" a male voice came in, and outside the prison was the sound of weapons fighting. When he saw the visitor, Fo Chuan threw away the branding iron in his hand.
"Jinxiu Brother, I..." Fo Chuan stuttered for a moment.
"Crown Prince, this is the dungeon, you can't just barge in." Fu Sanen explained quickly.
"Can a daughter of a brothel madam stand here? Get lost!" Without even looking at Fu Sanen, Yin Yue was quickly helped down and embraced, covered with a cloak, and then they turned to leave.
"What is the Crown Prince doing? Yin Yue is involved in a kidnapping, is he going to..." Before she could finish, Lu Jinxiu's sword was already at her neck, causing a sharp pain.
"Princess, princess, save me," Fu Sanen panicked, and Fo Chuan just regained his composure when he was about to speak, only to see Lu Jinxiu throw the sword and stride out of the dungeon.
"If the princess has any concerns, come to the King Pingyuan's mansion to discuss," Lu Jinxiu stopped without turning around and said, then left the dungeon and got on the carriage.
Yin Yue was tortured and covered in blood. She trembled and weakly grabbed Lu Jinxiu's clothes, saying, "It hurts." Then she fainted in Lu Jinxiu's arms. Lu Jinxiu looked at her with heartache and held her tighter.
Back at the mansion, Lu Jinxiu stood outside the door, watching as buckets of blood were carried out from the house, his brow furrowed in concern.
After a long time, the doctor came out of the room with a worried look.
"Crown Prince, this young lady is seriously injured. She has recently experienced a lot, and is also heavily poisoned. She has just suffered severe punishment. I have just stopped the bleeding for her, and I will go get the medicine now. In an hour, she should take it."
"Excuse me, is there a way to detoxify the poison on your body?" Lu Jinxiu is still very nervous.
"The poison has not yet penetrated the internal organs. After a few more acupuncture treatments and medication, it will be greatly reduced."
"Can't it be completely eradicated?" Lu Jinxiu grabbed the doctor's sleeve and asked urgently.
"This poison is extremely rare. I can only control its toxicity and ensure it doesn't endanger your life. However, the Crown Prince has given me some time, and I will definitely find a solution." The doctor looked at Lu Jinxiu, who relaxed slightly, and then bowed and left.
Lu Jinxiu waved off the crowd and walked into the room alone. Yin Yue's face was still pale, still in a deep sleep. Lu Jinxiu tenderly caressed the peony on Yin Yue's face, wet a towel with warm water, and gently wiped away the terrifying scar.
After a few days of care, Yin Yue's wounds were almost healed.
Yin Yue was wandering alone in the yard when Lu Jinxiu took a cloak and draped it over her.
"Your body is just right, don't catch a cold," Lu Jinxiu said softly.
"Thank you, Crown Prince," Yin Yue smiled, her face still a bit pale but with a hint of color now.
The title "Crown Prince" made Lu Jinxiu feel uncomfortable. It was one thing for others to address him as such, but why did she have to be so distant?
"Yin Mansion Everything is fine. In a few days, I will send you back to the mansion." Lu Jinxiu still felt distressed. Although Yin Yue was temporarily out of danger, it was not a long-term solution. It was important to find the antidote as soon as possible.
"Well..." Yin Yue hesitated, looking up at Lu Jinxiu with hopeful eyes.
"Tang Shize woke up, you don't have to worry." Lu Jinxiu felt a pang in her heart and made an excuse to leave the courtyard.
Yin Yue watched the departing figure, feeling a hint of hesitation in her heart.
"Tang Shize, if you have a conscience, give me the Shanxi grass. Yin Yue needs it to save her life," Lu Jinxiu said, bloodstains on her body as she pointed her sword at the man in front of her.
At this moment, Tang Shize had lost his memory, claiming that he was about to marry Fu Sanen and not remembering anything about Yin Yue.
Yin Lezheng rushed over and heard this. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and the bloodstains on the snow-white fox fur were extremely glaring.
"Yuer, why did you come?" Lu Jinxiu quickly supported Yin Yue, who almost fainted. Yin Yue smiled, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and said to Lu Jinxiu, "Crown Prince, let's go back. It's not necessary."
"Nonsense, that's the medicine that will save you. It's just missing this one ingredient." Lu Jinxiu looked anxious, with a hint of self-blame in his tone.
"No, it's pointless now." Yin Yue shook off Lu Jinxiu's hand, tears streaming down her face as she stepped out of the courtyard.
"Tang Shize, I'm begging you," Lu Jinxiu actually knelt in front of Tang Shize, Yin Yue suddenly turned around and ran back.
Fu Sanen came out of the house, holding onto Tang Shize, who looked at Fu Sanen with a gentle expression, with a hint of worry in his eyes: "It's windy outside, don't catch a cold."
" Fu Sanen, you can have whatever you want, just give me the medicine!" Lu Jinxiu said with bloodshot eyes.
Tang Shize protected the person behind him and said sternly, "What is the Crown Prince doing?" "Tang Shize, give me the medicine," Lu Jinxiu said word by word.
"Shi Ze, this medicine is a treasured heirloom of the Tang family and should not be given lightly to others, but they are so pitiful, and I...," Fu Sanen said with a sympathetic tone, "You are just too kind-hearted. If you can't bear it in your heart, then go ahead and give them the medicine."
"In that case, if Crown Prince really wants the medicine, then Shi Ze will take the blame for this decision, it's not a big deal, just fifty lashes," Fu Sanen provocatively glanced at Yin Yue.
Yin Yue had no reaction until she saw the enchanting phoenix tail flower on Fu Sanen's face, then she understood everything.
"Crown Prince, let's go," Yin Yue didn't shed a tear, she just pulled Lu Jinxiu and started to leave.
