Zhou Linghuai was a little confused. He held Yu Youyao’s hand tightly. “You’re not leaving?!”
Yu Youyao kept nodding. “I’ll sit here and accompany Cousin. I won’t go anywhere.”
“Okay—” Zhou Linghuai only had time to say this word. Even his voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible. Then, right on the heels of that, his eyelashes fluttered slightly and he closed his eyes.
Yu Youyao was shocked and shouted in panic, “Cousin, Cousin…”
Uncle Sun quickly said, “Don’t panic. He just fainted. His legs have been broken for five to six years, so his condition is more serious and the treatment process is more painful. It’s good that he fainted.”
Yu Youyao’s breathing relaxed. Only then did she realize that she had subconsciously forgotten to breathe because of her panic just now. Now that she was panting, she felt a suffocating pain in her chest.
“Isn’t Cousin’s health recovering very well?” Yu Youyao took a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat off her cousin’s face.
From his forehead to the bridge of his nose, his face, his chin and his neck. The thin handkerchief was already soaked. She suddenly did not notice that she felt the handkerchief under her finger gently brush past her cousin’s bulging Adam’s apple. Only then did she vaguely realize the difference in the structure of the bodies of men and women. The handkerchief could not help but pause for a moment.
Then, she saw the rising and falling lines on her cousin’s thin neck. There was a dazzling and tempting feeling.
Yu Youyao’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly moved her handkerchief away and continued to wipe her cousin’s sweat.
However!
The panic did not stop.
She saw the thin bones on her cousin’s neck. A woman’s collarbones grew on both sides of her neck, and her bones defined her throat. Her bones were as beautiful as wings and were hidden in her clothes. In front of others, they were hidden bones.
So, so a man actually had collarbones too?
A woman’s collarbones were delicate and beautiful.
On the other hand, a man’s collarbones were actually masculine and beautiful?
actions of wiping her cousin’s sweat were. She did not dare to continue.
Her jade-like hand was soft and delicate. Her five fingers were soft and beautiful, but she held them tightly in her hand. The handkerchief that she had wiped for her cousin just now was already drenched and trembling slightly.
Uncle Sun did not notice Yu Youyao’s abnormality. In any case, Yu Youyao had already seen it with her own eyes. He did not avoid the main point and told her about Zhou Linghuai’s situation.
“For someone with lower extremity hemiplegia, the sooner hes treated, the faster he’ll recover, and the treatment process won’t be too painful. However, your cousin’s injuries are too serious, and his body is like a broken bucket. His vitality can’t be preserved, so his body has become weak. His life is like a drop of oil. When he’s exhausted, he’ll lose his life. Even if I usually use the best medicinal herbs to help him nourish his body, how can this broken bucket survive!”
All these years, he had tried his best to help him extend his life.
Yu Youyao held her breath and pursed her lips tightly.
Previously, every time she asked Uncle Sun, Chang An, and the old servants beside her cousin in The Green House, or even her cousin himself, they would avoid talking about her cousin’s health.
Although she had learned pharmacology, pharmacology and medicine were two different concepts. She could not uncover the main problem.
She only felt that the situation they were talking about was not far from the health condition that her cousin usually displayed. She had never thought that when she was unaware, her cousin was already terminally ill and would be sick for a long time.
Yu Youyao’s mouth was a little dry, and even her voice was hoa.r.s.e. “Does cousin not want to live?
The pain of having their family destroyed was not something that ordinary people could withstand. Her cousin had forced himself to be strong and all he wanted was to help the entire King You’s residence seek justice and avenge their irreconcilable hatred.
But what happened after he took his revenge?
Her cousin had probably never cared. Whether he lived or died was no longer important.
If Cousin was healthy and had never fallen sick, he would still have the intention to live.
However, his body was disabled, and his life was hanging by a thread.
Uncle Sun sighed. “In the first three years, although I’ve been using the best medicinal herbs to help him nourish his body and legs, his foundation has been damaged. His body, mind, and Qi have been seriously injured, so it’s better for him to recuperate and avoid thinking and scheming. Only then can he calm down and nourish his vitality. Perhaps he can live for a few more years. However, he’s already in this state, but he’s still thinking about revenge all day long. He doesn’t take his life seriously and works to death all day. No matter how others persuade him, he won’t listen. I’m afraid that he won’t be able to survive and won’t be able to seek justice for King You’s residence.”
Yu Youyao went to look at her cousin. Even though he was unconscious, he was still frowning, his face filled with pain.
He was used to enduring things. His ink-stained eyebrows were indeed beautiful, but he had also endured too much pain in his life.
He was used to hiding, so even the pain fused into his ink-black eyes without leaving a trace.
What was left for others was always his cold, indifferent, calm, and n.o.ble side.
Yu Youyao’s heart ached for her cousin.
Her fingertips trembled slightly. She knew that it was against the rules, etiquette, and even more unorthodox, but she still couldn’t help but raise her hand, reach out her fingertips, and gently place them between his eyebrows. She gently stroked his furrowed eyebrows, as if she wanted to soothe the pain that had piled up between his eyebrows. From then on, he would no longer be sad.
She knew that once some principles were broken, there would be a second time, a third time and countless times…
If this person was her cousin, she did not mind breaking them at all!
Uncle Sun’s eyelids twitched, and he added, “His legs have been broken for five to six years. It’s been a little too long. The condition of his legs is getting worse and worse year by year, and it’s also been almost two to three years. With you helping him nourish his body and using the ma.s.sage technique every day, it will help him nourish his blood and reduce his bruises. He’ll also take the Essence Protection Pill, medicinal cuisine, medicinal tea, incense medicine, and so on every day to nourish his bone marrow. Only then will his foundation recover a little and he can barely withstand my internal acupuncture technique.”
Tsk tsk, look at her heartache. I’ve helped you a lot.
Of course, if it weren’t for the fact that this kid couldn’t leave Little Miss Yu, he wouldn’t be willing to help this sinister thing lest he harmed her.
Yu Youyao understood the crux of the matter and panicked again. “Barely withstand it? Didn’t you say that you were confident?”
It seemed that her cousin was hiding many more things from her.
Uncle Sun nodded and said, “He’s been recuperating well in the past two years. I originally wanted to wait for a year and a half before giving him acupuncture treatment. This way, I would have a higher chance of success. However, he couldn’t wait any longer and wanted to recover as soon as possible. He forced me to treat him early.” At this point, he looked up at Yu Youyao. “He doesn’t want you to worry too much.”
Since Yin Huaixi was conferred the t.i.tle of King Wumu, he can’t stay in the capital forever. He has to return to the North at least once or twice a year..
