230: Chapter 230: So you just want my life?
Yan Qianyi’s back slamd against the door, her eyes wide with shock as she stared at Mu Yunlie’s dark and fierce gaze.
Just now in that room, he had been protecting her, not even letting the rain touch her.
At that mont, she had felt sowhat touched.
How could he suddenly change his face like this?
She grasped Mu Yunlie’s wrist, struggling to ask, “What…
what are you doing?”
Mu Yunlie’s brows were tightly furrowed, his handso face tense.
“Just now, they ntioned that you are the Prince’s sister, and that you shouldn’t be hard.”
“So…
what are you trying to say?”
“No one knows we are staying here, except your brother and Queen Andelle.”
Yan Qianyi’s mouth fell open in astonishnt.
So he suspected that she and her brother had colluded, arranging for these people to assassinate him?
Mu Yunlie’s pitch-black eyes were tinged with a few streaks of vicious red, his voice hoarse, “So you want my life that badly?”
He had known early on that she was no ordinary girl.
He had also foreseen that keeping her close would lead to this day.
Before, he thought he could accept it.
But it seed that the more he cared for her, the more enraged he beca when facing such situations.
Yan Qianyi didn’t know what to say.
She knew she hadn’t conspired with her brother against Mu Yunlie.
But it was only her brother and sister-in-law who knew they were staying here.
And those words the people said earlier…
Now even she suspected that those people were sent by her brother.
As Yan Qianyi was thinking about how to explain, suddenly Mu Yunlie’s hand on her neck loosened, and his body went limp, falling to his knees.
“What…
what’s wrong with you?”
Was he injured just now?
Mu Yunlie lifted his head, his gaze tenderly looking at her, a weak smile playing on his lips, “Wife.”
“…” Yan Qianyi paused.
Just now he had wanted to strangle her, and suddenly he was calling her “wife.” Was this an onset of the poison?
But he had been fine just a mont ago, having taken her dicine.
Why has it acted up so quickly?
Yan Qianyi quickly squatted down, grabbed Mu Yunlie’s wrist to check, and discovered that the toxins in his body were disordered, different from before.
It seed the toxins had mutated inside his body!
“Where is the dicine I gave you?”
“I’ve taken it all.” He clung to her tightly, “I’m sorry for just now, my wife isn’t angry?”
“Get up, dry yourself off first, change your clothes.” Yan Qianyi helped Mu Yunlie to his feet.
“You have to say you’re not angry first.” Mu Yunlie’s complexion looked very pale, his eyes drooping guiltily, his gaze pleading like a puppy that had made a mistake.
“Alright, alright, I’m not angry, I really am not angry,” Yan Qianyi coaxed patiently.
Every ti Mu Yunlie acted like this, she was at a loss.
Mu Yunlie’s pale lips forced a weak smile.
Yan Qianyi brought over a clean robe and handed it to him, instructing him to go to the bathroom to clean up and change.
She stood at the bathroom door, biting her lip and pondering.
She had calculated that the dicine she had given to Mu Yunlie should have lasted at least another week.
So she hadn’t prepared more dicine for him yet.
How could he have finished it so quickly?
Could it be that his episodes had been occurring more frequently?
Had the toxins developed resistance to her dicine?
Now that he was lucid, he could occasionally rember a little about when the poison acted up; she thought there had been so improvent.
But judging by the situation at hand, it seed to be getting worse.
Yan Qianyi’s brows furrowed deeply.
Mu Yunlie’s body was poisoned more severely than she had imagined.
Mu Yunlie ca out of the washroom and clung to Yan Qianyi again, “Wife, I’m cold, hug …”
His body was ice cold, and his pale lips had a hint of purple, looking even weaker than when the poison had struck before.
It looked like she would be sleeping on the sofa again tonight.
Yan Qianyi coaxed him into bed.
He held on to her and didn’t let go, burrowing his head into her embrace, “Wife, don’t leave.”
Yan Qianyi stroked his head and asked softly, “Ah Lie, are you feeling very unwell now?”
Mu Yunlie nodded with his head buried in her chest.
“Then be good and let go of , and I’ll give you a few acupuncture needles, and you’ll feel better soon.”
“Okay.” Mu Yunlie let go of his hands.
Yan Qianyi smiled in relief, “How co you are so obedient this ti?”
Usually, when he turned like this, he would cling to her insisting they try for a baby, which was very troubleso.
Mu Yunlie frowned, “I’m afraid you’ll be angry and ignore .”
She was a bit angry just now, but his coquetry had dissipated all her anger.
Such a handso, clingy puppy-dog, who could resist that?
Yan Qianyi took out the silver needles, opened Mu Yunlie’s robe, and began to administer acupuncture.
He was really well-behaved, lying on the bed without moving, his eyes fixed on her without even blinking.
It was as if he was afraid she would disappear in the blink of an eye.
Seeing the helplessness and worry in his eyes, Yan Qianyi reassured him, “Ah Lie, relax.
I’m not leaving, I’ll stay right here with you.”
Mu Yunlie smiled and nodded, but his eyes still eagerly stared at her.
Yan Qianyi stopped paying attention to him and focused on finishing the acupuncture to ease his pain quickly.
After the session, she lifted her wrist to wipe the sweat from her forehead and saw that Mu Yunlie was still watching her, but his expression seed different.
Yan Qianyi asked, “Are you feeling better now?”
Mu Yunlie humd faintly in response.
Yan Qianyi asked again, “How could the dicine be finished so quickly?”
“Recently, the attacks have beco more frequent.”
“Why didn’t you tell ?”
“If I can control it, it’s fine.”
“But the poison inside you is spreading worse, and it has mutated,” Yan Qianyi said ashadly, “It was my negligence, thinking that those dicines would suffice…”
She had been too confident before and had underestimated the poison in Mu Yunlie.
In this era, many herbs were not available, and the substitutes she found were ultimately not effective enough.
“It’s okay, maintaining regular acupuncture will fix it.
It just attacked suddenly because I used spiritual power.”
As long as he used spiritual power, the toxins inside him would flare up, uncontrollable without dicine.
Seeing Mu Yunlie comforting her instead, Yan Qianyi felt even more remorseful and pressed her lips together, “Do you… still trust ?”
“Yes, didn’t you say only you can detoxify ?”
Yan Qianyi hesitated.
Actually, what she referred to was the incident just now.
If he suspected that the people who ca tonight were arranged by her and her brother,
could he still continue to trust her?
The two were silent for a while before Yan Qianyi began to remove the silver needles from his body.
After removing the last needle, she said, “Tonight, you sleep in the bed, and I’ll sleep on the sofa.”
Though the neurotoxin in his body was temporarily under control and Mu Yunlie had sobered up, his complexion was still very pale.
She simply couldn’t bear to send a patient to sleep on the sofa.
Besides, Mu Yunlie was tall, and the hotel’s sofa was a double, he couldn’t even stretch out his legs if he lay there.
Yet suddenly, Mu Yunlie reached out and pulled her onto the bed, holding her close to him, “Ti to sleep.”
Yan Qianyi stiffened, suddenly unsure of how to react.
