Chapter 244 How did you know that the person you're looking for is me?
"My lord, with this general here, how can it not be safe?" Su Wangyan, who was standing nearby, sensed something unusual and suddenly spoke with a half-smile, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, Bai Zunyue slightly turned her head to meet Su Wangyan's gaze, and the original politeness between the two disappeared.
Ye Yuwu sensed that something was amiss, so she quickly stepped forward to explain that she had been sent by the imperial court to the border to deal with the displaced people and farmers.
Upon hearing Ye Yuwu's explanation, Bai Zunyue's brows relaxed a little. Just as he was about to say something more, a commotion suddenly came from inside the room.
It turned out to be the doctor inside the house.
The doctor's face was covered in sweat, but his expression was very serious.
"Doctor? How is she?"
"The Marquis of Xuanping's injuries are too severe. I have already cleaned the wounds, but the situation is not optimistic. With such severe injuries, we can only rely on his own fate from now on." After saying this, the doctor couldn't help but shake his head regretfully, and then said, "I'm afraid the Marquis of Xuanping will develop a fever and won't be able to hold on tonight."
Bai Zunyue stepped forward and grabbed the doctor's sleeve, "You must find a way to save him!"
"I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do," the doctor sighed, expressing his helplessness.
“This doctor is already the best doctor in the military camp,” Su Wangyan advised from the side.
Bai Zunyue could easily understand that Xiao Yulan's injuries were so severe because he was trying to save him, and even the imperial physicians in the palace couldn't cure him.
Standing to the side, Ye Yuwu was shocked to see that the man's eyes were red. He suddenly grabbed the doctor by the collar and threatened, "No matter what, you must find a way to save my brother today! I can find any medicine you need!"
After saying that, he loosened the doctor's collar. The doctor was already so frightened by the sinister look in his eyes that his legs went weak. "I will do my best to treat him!"
After saying this, the doctor wiped his sweat and went back into the room.
"Why did you scare him like that?" Su Wangyan couldn't help but say when he saw the doctor go back into the room.
But Bai Zunyue was in a bad mood at the moment, so she naturally didn't answer.
At this moment, the servant came out again and said, "Lord Xuanping invites everyone into the room; he has something to tell you."
Upon hearing this, everyone present felt a pang of unease and immediately went inside with heavy hearts.
Ye Yuwu knew she shouldn't be there and hadn't planned to go in with them.
But Bai Zunyue understood her meaning and suddenly thought of something.
"Come in with me."
Ye Yuwu was puzzled, but she still followed him into the house.
Seeing this, Su Wangyan frowned but said nothing and followed closely behind.
Upon entering the room, a strong stench of blood filled the entire space. Ye Yuwu had never seen such a scene before and felt nauseous, but she managed to hold it in.
Besides the smell of blood, the strongest smell in the room was of herbs.
Ye Yuwu entered the center of the room and saw a man with his upper body naked, his body covered in bandages, with no part of him intact. The most striking thing was the fatal wound on his chest.
It was said that this was an arrow wound, and it took the doctor many hours to pull out the arrow. However, it had damaged his heart and lungs, and Xiao Yulan's face was pale and bloodless, but even so, it did not diminish his handsome face.
He leaned weakly against the headboard, his eyes half-closed, his dark eyes like the long, boundless night, leaving one wondering what he was thinking.
The room was quiet; you could hear even your own breathing.
Bai Zunyue stepped forward, her eyes red, and said to him, "Don't worry, I will definitely heal you."
Xiao Yulan coughed lightly and said weakly, "It's too late, Ziyu. I've always considered you my best brother. I only have one request to ask of you."
Bai Zunyue knew what he was going to say. He closed his eyes in pain and said, "Xiao Yulan, I will not agree. I know what you are going to say. She is here now. You should tell her yourself."
Xiao Yulan's half-closed eyes suddenly widened. He turned his head to look, and Bai Zunyue turned to the side, revealing the person behind him.
Ye Yuwu and Xiao Yulan locked eyes.
At this moment, Xiao Yulan's long, ink-black hair was draped over her shoulders, and her picturesque appearance caught Ye Yuwu's eye. Ye Yuwu was still pondering Bai Zunyue's meaning when he turned to the side, and the two of them unexpectedly met eyes.
Ye Yuwu was full of questions, wondering what this had to do with her.
However, Xiao Yulan's eyes widened in disbelief when she met his gaze.
"You should talk to her."
Xiao Yulan also knew that if she didn't speak up now, she would miss her chance.
Pain spread across his face, and Ye Yuwu seemed to see his suffering, and couldn't help but step forward.
"I feel like I've seen you somewhere before?" Although it was absurd, Ye Yuwu really felt that he looked very familiar. However, she had been in this dynasty for so long and did not really have any impression of him. The only time she remembered him was in the prison.
Why is this? Ye Yuwu was confused; she felt that things weren't that simple.
Xiao Yulan's eyes were filled with bitterness when she heard these words.
"It's understandable that you don't remember me, since I was the one who broke my promise first."
It turns out that Xiao Yulan had stayed in his fiefdom until he was nine years old. Later, his father died unexpectedly, and as the eldest son, he should have inherited the title of marquis.
To inherit the title of marquis, he must come to Bianjing to pay homage to the emperor before he can return to his fiefdom.
However, he was not used to the bustling city of Bianjing. In addition, he had lost his father and had to shoulder heavy responsibilities at a young age. He was in a bad mood and happened to bump into her when he went out.
Xiao Yulan was in a bad mood at the time and didn't even have time to apologize before the spoiled girl started cursing him. No one knew what he was feeling, but even the boy who had always been strong and never cried on the day of his father's funeral couldn't help but burst into tears amidst the cursing.
This terrified the little girl, who thought she had gone too far with her scolding and was at a loss for what to do but comfort him.
That's how they got to know each other.
Later, the little girl learned about his story and would come to play with him every time. Having lived in Bianjing since childhood, she knew all the fun places to go and would drag him around to play. This was the happiest period for Xiao Yulan since her father's death.
Later, when the time came for the hereditary succession to be passed down, he had no reason to stay in Bianjing. He thought he would have time to say goodbye to the young girl, but for some reason, they didn't even get to say goodbye and missed each other.
After returning to his fiefdom, Xiao Yulan never forgot her. Later, he made outstanding military achievements, which allowed him to enter the imperial city.
At the time, Xiao Yulan was only focused on playing with the little girl and forgot to ask about her family background and name. However, time has passed and even the tree where they had agreed to meet has long since disappeared, let alone finding someone in Bianjing!
"Later I found out who I was looking for." After saying this, Xiao Yulan looked up at her.
His eyes shone like stars as he looked at Ye Yuwu, and his sharply defined face softened considerably.
Ye Yuwu remained silent for a moment, still not believing it.
How do you know that the person you're looking for is me?
