Chapter 240 Lu Muchuan knocks out Dongfang Wan'er
Dongfang Wan'er shook her head stubbornly, her eyes showing no wavering, only endless trust and expectation for Ye Jiuchen.
At this moment, the divine physician Dan silently stepped forward, placed his fingers on Ye Jiuchen's wrist, and after a moment, slowly lowered his hand and gently shook his head at everyone. That silent action seemed to be a heavy blow to everyone's hopes.
"Your Highness, please go and rest. The master wouldn't want to see you like this either!"
Looking at Dongfang Wan'er's haggard yet resolute face, An Ye felt a mix of emotions. He was prepared to follow Ye Jiuchen, but before that, he hoped to comfort Dongfang Wan'er first.
"Why don't you believe me? Why don't you believe me... Ye Jiuchen, he..."
Dongfang Wan'er's voice was choked with sobs. She couldn't understand why no one would believe that Ye Jiuchen was still alive.
Seeing Dongfang Wan'er on the verge of collapse, Lu Muchuan felt heartbroken. He quickly stepped forward and gently pressed his finger on Dongfang Wan'er's pressure point to induce sleep.
Dongfang Wan'er swayed slightly and then collapsed softly to the ground. Lu Muchuan caught her in his arms.
"Mu Chuan, this..." Lu Chenyan couldn't help but ask when he saw this, his eyes full of doubt.
"Third Brother, Wan'er, she..."
Lu Wanning looked at Lu Muchuan holding Dongfang Wan'er with a blank expression, not understanding what he was going to do.
"Little sister, father, Wan'er's emotions are very unstable right now. We can't let her continue like this. If this continues, her body won't be able to take it!"
Lu Muchuan looked at Dongfang Wan'er in his arms, his eyes filled with pity and helplessness.
"Third brother did a good job! I was just thinking of doing that too, but you beat me to it!"
Lu Qingmo nodded slightly, agreeing with Lu Muchuan's approach.
In this difficult time, they all hoped to do something for Dongfang Wan'er, even if it was just to temporarily relieve her pain and exhaustion.
"I'll take Wan'er back to rest first. Father, Mother, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, you've been keeping watch for several days, you should go and rest too!"
Lu Muchuan turned and left with Dongfang Wan'er in his arms. His steps were steady and slow, as if he were afraid of disturbing the sleeping beauty in his arms.
Qiuqin quickly followed behind, her gaze fixed on Dongfang Wan'er, filled with concern and worry.
Lu Muchuan carefully placed Dongfang Wan'er on the bed, his movements as gentle as if he were handling the most precious treasure in the world. Then, he sat quietly by the bed, his posture upright yet revealing endless exhaustion and determination, showing no intention of leaving.
Qiuqin quietly entered the room, her gaze first falling on Lu Muchuan, her eyes filled with worry and doubt, before slowly shifting to Dongfang Wan'er.
Having lived in this mansion for many years, she was perceptive and felt that the young master's behavior and expression seemed a little off. There seemed to be many unspoken emotions and entanglements hidden deep in his eyes.
"Young Master Mu Chuan, I can stay here with Miss, you should go and rest!"
Qiuqin spoke softly, her voice gentle yet filled with undeniable concern.
"It's alright, you go and rest. I can watch over things here!"
Lu Muchuan's tone was calm and firm, and his gaze never left Dongfang Wan'er's face, as if in his world, the safety of the person in front of him was the most important thing at this moment.
"Oh, how can this be!" Qiuqin frowned slightly, her face showing difficulty. In her mind, how could a young master, a woman of noble birth, be subjected to such strenuous work?
"Go!" Lu Muchuan said, waving his hand at Qiu Qin with an air of unyielding authority.
Seeing this, Qiuqin had no choice but to step back. She walked out of the room quietly, but doubts still lingered in her mind.
"My lord, the princess's affairs have been settled. I will come to follow you shortly!"
On her way back, Qiuqin suddenly heard An Ye's deep and firm voice.
Startled, she quickly looked in the direction of the sound and saw An Ye standing in the corner of the courtyard, his figure appearing somewhat lonely in the moonlight.
"Dark Night, what do you mean?!"
Qiuqin strode forward, stood in front of An Ye, stared straight at him, and spoke with a questioning tone.
When An Ye saw Qiu Qin approaching, he subconsciously lowered his head, not daring to look into her eyes. His hands clenched slightly, as if he was trying to suppress his inner emotions and pain.
"Qiuqin, you heard it all. My life was saved by my master. I swore an oath to follow him for life. Now my master..."
An Ye's voice trembled slightly. He paused for a moment, as if a great sorrow was stuck in his throat.
Then, he slowly raised his head, looking at Qiuqin with a firm gaze, "Qiuqin, I'm sorry, I've always loved you. Now that our master is gone, I can't be with you anymore. Find a good man to marry!"
Qiuqin felt a sharp pain in her heart upon hearing this, and a trace of anger and resentment flashed in her eyes!
"Dark Night, what do you mean? Although I, Qiuqin, am Miss's maid, I am not someone you can mess with as you please. Do you think you can come and go as you please?"
Qiuqin knew An Ye's character well. She understood what An Ye was thinking at this moment. He wanted to die and follow his deceased master.
"I'm sorry..." Dark Night's voice was as low as a mosquito's buzz. After saying that, he turned to leave, his back looking particularly lonely and resolute in the moonlight.
"stop……"
Qiuqin blocked Anye's path without hesitation, her eyes burning with anger!
"Do you think dying will solve the problem? Instead of thinking about how to avenge your son-in-law, you're thinking about dying. I really misjudged you!"
After Qiuqin finished yelling, she turned and walked away quickly, tears welling up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
As An Ye watched Qiu Qin's departing figure, which gradually blurred in his vision, he fell into deep thought.
After a long while, his eyes gradually became clear and firm!
"Yes, I can't die now. I must kill all of my master's enemies before I follow him!"
Dark Night made up his mind. He took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and then walked directly towards the back mountain. His steps were firm and powerful, each step seemingly carrying his desire for revenge and his commitment to his oath.
Ye Jiuchen's consciousness seemed to be tightly enveloped by dense darkness, as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss of ink.
In this chaos, the sounds of the outside world, like fine rain, seeped into his senses.
He heard the shouts of the crowd rising and falling, and the most heart-wrenching of them all was Dongfang Wan'er's sorrowful cries. Her cries were like sharp arrows, piercing straight into the softest part of his heart.
He struggled desperately deep inside, wanting nothing more than to break free from this shackle, wake up, embrace Dongfang Wan'er, and use his embrace to dispel her sorrow and stop the tears that flowed like broken pearls.
However, his body seemed to be bound tightly by thousands of invisible ropes, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not break free from this deep sleep.
