<strong>20 Xuan’s Blood Tears</strong>


    “Master! What should we do? Little junior sister is already vomiting blood. If Prince Ming doesn’t return, little junior sister won’t be able to hold up!” Gui Wu anxiously paced around in the room. Many days have passed. Today was already the twenty-ninth day. They only had tomorrow, one day left. If Prince Ming doesn’t bring back the seven colored snow lotus, then...


    Gui Yi Zi looked at Lan You Nian, feeling anxious in his heart but calmly faced the others saying, “That stinky brat already has the snow lotus. This old man believes he will hurry back. There’s someone here waiting for him!”


    Outside the room in Prince Ming manor stood many people. Emperor Feng Xia Qi would bring Empress Yue Bai Lian to Prince Ming Manor once the morning court was over. The two would stay the entire day, feeling so anxious inside they wanted to vent. Lan Jian Jun and Lan Mo Xian, as well as Hua Mu Qing, woulde to Prince Ming manor every day. It was only a month yet Lan Jian Jun’s hair has already whitened a lot and has seemingly aged. Though Jing Wu An and Yu Liu Li were worried as well, the two understood they must overlook the matters of the court at this time. However, after they finished handling official concerns, they woulde over to Prince Ming manor. They would sit in Prince Ming manor’s garden listening to Gui Yi Zi’s diagnosis. Tutor He, because of his advanced age, everyone concealed Lan You Nian’s illness from him, but how can Tutor He not be aware, so he can only have his grandson He Chu Yange over to Prince Ming manor to inquire and tell him his granddaughter’s situation every night, resulting in Tutor He falling over in illness this month. Fortunately, with Gui Yi Zi there, it was nothing serious.


    “Prince Ming is back!” Suddenly from the gates of Prince Ming manor came Gui Er’s shout. His voice was filled with excitement as well as hoarseness. It was this one cry that made the entire Prince Ming manor stir with excitement. Those Prince Ming manor’s guards and shadow guards finally released a sigh of relief. All these days, they all prayed that the princess consort would be safe and sound.


    Gui Yi Zi and the others ran in the direction of the front gates. Before they reached the gates, they saw Feng Yi Xuan riding his horse, charging into Prince Ming manor and leaping off. Gui Yi Zi was about to task Feng Yi Xuan if he has the seven colored snow lotus but when he saw Feng Yi Xuan’s condition, Gui Yi Zi could utter the words, even the excited people stared in shock at Feng Yi Xuan.


    At this moment, Feng Yi Xuan no longer looked like a celestial being. The ck robes were covered with dust and blood. All over, besides the pouch at his waist was clean, he seemed as if he escaped from a refugee camp. An Er and the others all felt sour inside. Even in the past when they followed master onto the battlefield, they haven’t seen master in such difficulty. Feng Yi Xuan’s entire person lost a lot of weight. The robes on his body seemed a lot more hollow. What was even more surprising to the others was the scar across Feng Yi Xuan’s face. Because they didn’t treat it in time, it was even more terrifying, giving that handsome face into a demonic feel.


    Feng Yi Xuan didn’t look at the others’ expressions. He directly handed the box in his arms to Gui Yi Zi and swiftly ran into the room, so anxious and horrified that it made all of the others feel sour inside. No one uttered a sound as they directly waited outside, giving Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian the chance to be alone.


    Gui Yi Zi looked at the seven colored snow lotus in the box feeling his emotions stir. For little Nian’er’s poison, he spent much thought and any price all these years. Now he finally can let little Nian’er be a normal child. Gui Yi Zi dragged Gui Yi to the medicine room.


    Feng Xia Qi hugged Yue Bai Lian, feeling extremely excited inside. He said to Yue Bai Lian, “So good! Nian’er is saved! They will be together forever!” Though Feng Xia Qi saw the wound on his brother’s face, butpared to one’s looks, one’s life was more important. Feng Xia Qi knew that Lan You Nian wasn’t a woman who cared about one’s looks.


    Yue Bai Lian’s eyes were wet. She said in a sobbing voice, “Yes, it’s so good!” So many nights, she and Feng Xia Qi were waiting in torment for a miracle. Finally, a miracle happened. This miracle was brought by Prince Ming. This man was really worthy of Nian’er to depend on.


    Because they knew Lan You Nian was saved, everyone recovered themselves. Lan Mo Xian and the others hurried over to the military camp. Thest few days they weren’t in the mood to handle these matters and now there were matters for them to handle.


    Feng Yi Xuan entered the room, looking at the white bookshelf arranged in the northeast corner. The warm sunlight passed through the vermillion carved wooden window, scattering onto the zither on its stand. The pink curtains brought in flower petals that blew in from the window, gently caressing over the strings of the zither. Wisps of fragrant smoke rose from the incense burner, wrapping around the curtains and permeating the whole room. On thatrge bed,id the girl he yearned for so long.


    Feng Yi Xuan came over to the bed and sat down, stroking Lan You Nian’s face. Her skin was the white jade after shedding all the filth, fine as gtin. It was soft and smooth to the touch like a just peeled boiled egg. Feng Yi Xuan paid attention to Nian Nian’s furrowed brows. Feng Yi Xuan reached out a hand to gently smooth over Lan You Nian’s forehead. In Lan You Nian’s ears, he gently whispered, “Nian Nian I’m back!” After Feng Yi Xuan said this, Lan You Nian’s frowning brows slowly rxed.


    Feng Yi Xuan’s body has reached its limits after running and exhausting itself in thest few days. Now he was by Lan You Nian’s side, Feng Yi Xuan’s entire person was rxed. Feng Yi Xuanid by Lan You Nian’s side. Because he feared the dust on his clothes will contaminate Lan You Nian, Feng Yi Xuan didn’t cover himself with the nket but he still held Lan You Nian gingerly in his arms. Even though he knew his body was smelly, Feng Yi Xuan didn’t want to let go.


    Gui Yi Zi put together all the medicinal herbs, boiling it and bringing it to the room. He saw on the carved flower bed slept a pure and beautiful girl and a handsome man despite his drabness and haggardness. The man tightly held the girl as if he won’t let go even in his dreams.


    Though Gui Yi Zi couldn’t bear to disturb this scene, he remembered the medicine in his hand must be ingested immediately to have any effect. Otherwise, the effects of the medicine will lose all its original effects. Before Gui Yi Zi could utter a sound, Feng Yi Xuan already opened his piercing eyes. That pair of purple eyes tinted with red sharply red at Gui Yi Zi. Realizing the person was Gui Yi Zi, he withdrew his gaze to look at Lan You Nian, his voice raspy, “Master, is the medicine done?”


    Gui Yi Zi put the medicine onto the table and earnestly said, “The medicine is done but stinky brat, you must prepare yourself. This old man has never encountered such poison. Even if the antidote has been developed, this old man doesn’t have total certainty. You...”


    Feng Yi Xuan took the bowl of medicine and looked at Lan You Nian gently, “No matter what the result is, I will apany Nian Nian!” Feng Yi Xuan took a gulp of the medicine and used his lips to transfer it to Lan You Nian. In moments, the bowl of medicine was fed into Lan You Nian’s body.


    Gui Yi Zi and Feng Yi Xuan stared at Lan You Nian without blinking. Several moments passed yet there was no change to Lan You Nian. Both Gui Yi Zi and Feng Yi Xuan were anxious. Feng Yi Xuan’s entire body was trembling.


    At this moment, Lan You Nian suddenly moaned painfully. Her entire body seemed to shake from pain. More importantly, Lan You Nian vomited mouthfuls of blood. The pained look madepletely mad.


    “Nian Nian...Nian Nian...Nian Nian...” Feng Yi Xuan hugged Lan You Nian, trembling along with her. Feng Yi Xuan’s purple eyes were bleeding blood tears. The blood tears followed Feng Yi Xuan’s cheek and dripped down.


    Lan You Nian felt her body was in so much pain, so painful that it seemed all her internal organs were being ripped apart and her tendons were rebuilding themselves. She was in such pain she wanted to sleep forever but there was a voice calling to her in her ears. Lan You Nian could sense this voice was trembling with fear.


    “Xuan...” the broken voice forced out from Lan You Nian’s mouth. She knew the one who kept calling her was Feng Yi Xuan. She can feel the trembling embrace. She can very clearly feel Feng Yi Xuan’s terror. She knew she can’t die like this. If she left, what was Feng Yi Xuan to do?


    “I’m here, Nian Nian, Xuan is here!” Feng Yi Xuan heard Lan You Nian’s voice. Even if the voice was so faint it was barely discernible, Feng Yi Xuan was still able to catch it. Feng Yi Xuan endlessly kissed Lan You Nian’s forehead, “Nian Nian, don’t leave me. You can’t leave me. Wherever you go, I will go with you!”


    Lan You Nian made an effort to open her eyes. Her hazy eyes couldn’t see anything clearly but she can see that pair of purple eyes and the blood tears in those eyes. Lan You Nian’s heart seemed to be given a harsh blow, making her more conscious. Her Xuan was crying. Her Xuan shed blood tears. This was all for her.


    “I won’t leave you...Nian Nian...Nian Nian will never leave Xuan...” Lan You Nian forced herself to say theseforting words and then spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.


    Feng Yi Xuan too spat out blood, roaring, “Nian Nian!”


    This cry ofment like a wild animal made the people outside barge in with horror. They looked in horror at Feng Yi Xuan who was howling like an animal as well as the deathly pale Lan You Nian in his arms, not knowing whether she was alive or dead.


    “Nian’er!” They all shouted. Lan Jian Jun fainted. The general who has reigned over the battlefield actually fainted. In an instant, the whole room was in chaos.


    “What are you screaming for? Little Nian’er is fine. If you continue to shout, this old man will strike you dead!” Gui Yi Zi couldn’t endure it as he shouted. This shout made everyonee to their senses and looked at Gui Yi Zi with glowing eyes, making the hairs rise on Gui Yi Zi’s body.


    Feng Yi Xuan wretched Gui Yi Zi up, his eyes coldly demanding, “Nian Nian is fine? Is Nian Nian fine?” Feng Yi Xuan stared at Gui Yi Zi. Gui Yi Zi’s words will determine his Feng Yi Xuan’s entire world.


    Gui Yi Zi sighed with feeling inside as he looked at Feng Yi Xuan. Such a love-infatuated man was indeed rare in this world. Gui Yi Zi, under the wolf-like gaze of everyone, took Lan You Nian’s pulse and bore the pressure as he dered, “Little Nian’er spat out the poison blood. The blood ispletely out of her system!”


    Feng Yi Xuan stared in disbelief at Gui Yi Zi and joyously held tightly to Lan You Nian. Then, he struck a palm at the roomful of people to toss them out.


    Lan Jian Jun thought his daughter really couldn’t hold on anymore, hence why he fainted being unable to take it but didn’t expect to wake up to hear Gui Yi Zi’s words. Before he could be overjoyed, he was tossed out.


    The other people who were tossed out were speechless but therge rock in their hearts could finally be put down. Yue Bai Lian’s legs became jelly as she fell into Feng Xia Qi’s arms, going entirely limp. In that instant, she was so afraid.


    Everyone demanded Gui Yi Zi over Lan You Nian’s illness. Gui Yi Zi promised Lan You Nian was fine multiple times. She only fainted because the poison has been umting inside her body for many years. Once it was cleared, her body couldn’t handle it and fainted from being weakened. Only then did everyone rest their hearts and leave Prince Ming manor. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to wait for Lan You Nian to wake up but that there were many things they ignored. Even if they waited, Feng Yi Xuan won’t let them see Lan You Nian.


    In the room, Feng Yi Xuan’s eyes didn’t dare to part from Lan You Nian. He kept staring at Lan You Nian. Even if he knew Lan You Nian wouldn’t be waking up for some time, Feng Yi Xuan continued to look at her...
