Four hundred and sixteen chapters silence
Xu Yan, who had no aphasia, was just quieter occasionally, and others could feel her depressed mood. But now Xu Yan can't speak and remain silent every day, others don't know whether she is depressed or unable to speak. Everyone has their own things to do, and it is impossible to be by her side at all times. Even Yingchun, who is serving Xu Yan closely, sometimes has to discuss some matters with He Xun about the situation in the palace.
At these moments, they always give her a sorry look, and Xu Yan could see that the meaning of the look was filled with guilt. But gradually, they agreed that Xu Yan knew what they were doing, so they didn't say hello to her. Xu Yan felt that this was really ridiculous, and her fate was actually controlled by them.
That day, Ping Qing told her everything, including why she became like this. It turned out that they wanted her to wake up soon and wanted her to go back to the palace to deal with the matter as soon as possible. So she sent Peng Yue to be the lobbyist and persuaded Ping Qing to wake up Xu Yan with a dose of fierce medicine. Only Ping Qing knew how Xu Yan's condition was. He understood that judging from Xu Yan's physical condition at that time, it would take at least ten or twenty days to wake up.
But the people from Xu Yan's sect couldn't wait. They were forced by Yun Lang and others to have no way out. They could only rely on them, the empress who was still sleeping. So they were fearless and angry. They wanted Peng Yue to convey it to Ping Qing immediately, and now they would wake up Xu Yan no matter what means they used.
Under pressure from many parties, Ping Qing could only use a radical and physically damaging method to wake Xu Yan up. He could not guarantee what side effects would appear after Xu Yan woke up. He thought that the worst outcome was that Xu Yan would never wake up again, but fortunately, she was just hoarse.
God knows how much Xu Yan wanted to laugh when she heard Ping Qing's words "It's okay, I'm just dumb." Do they really care about her? Do they really support her? They want her to wake up just to protect themselves from being killed by Yun Lang's sent people. But Xu Yan cannot hate or blame her. This is her duty. She wants to pick up the sharp blade in her hand to defend her subjects and her Xu Country.
Since the conversation that day, Xu Yan's health has gradually improved, so she can also write some notes to guide Peng Yueyi's faction far away in the capital by letter. However, no one has ever cared about her anymore. She found reasons for herself and excuses for them. Perhaps it was because the situation in the capital was too chaotic, so she could not care about her.
But at this time, Xu Yan always thought that it would be better than her to leave like this. Anyway, no matter where she goes, she could send letters to them, and they didn't need her to go back at all. However, Yingchun and He Xun, who had been silently observing her in the dark, were very anxious about her condition.
Things started to turn around a week later. That day, Xu Yan woke up early to water the unknown flowers planted in front of the door, and heard a male voice coming from afar: "Oh, I thought you were hiding wherever you hadn't seen for so long, it turned out that it was hidden here!"
Xu Yan turned her head and saw Liang Yu's handsome and evil face magnifying in front of her eyes. She forgot to dodge in panic, and just looked at him in a daze, her eyes turned slightly red without realizing it. She realized her loss of composure and quickly turned around to wipe the tears that were about to roll.
Liang Yu frowned. He only learned about Xu Yan's current situation in the letter Yingchun sent him. But he could not expect that Xu Yan had become such a sensitive and fragile person now.
He knew Xu Yan could not speak now, so he turned to Xu Yan, looked at Xu Yan innocently and asked, "What, could it be that I am too ugly to make your eyes so spicy?" When Xu Yan heard his teasing words, the sourness that had surged when he saw him instantly dissipated, leaving only the man in front of him. It's a pity that she couldn't speak, it's a pity...
Liang Yu's pleasure, seeing that she finally rose, fell down in an instant, and a trace of pain flashed through her heart. He didn't say anything else, but just gently took the kettle in Xu Yan's hand and held her and squatted down. Xu Yan's face turned red and she wanted to break free from his hand, but when she heard his "shhhh" sound, she didn't dare to continue to move.
Xu Yan looked at Liang Yu's actions curiously, not knowing what he was going to do next. Liang Yu picked up the kettle and was about to pour it on the flowers. Xu Yan hurriedly controlled his hands, his eyes full of doubts and confusion.
Liang Yu scratched his head and looked at the flowers that were wilted due to excessive watering under his hands and said, "What's going on? Why are they wilted? Could it be that I didn't water enough? Didn't I say that watering the flowers? Of course, the more the better, otherwise why would you do so much water? Hurry up and let's go play together."
Xu Yan gave him a blank look and snatched the kettle from his hand. The words "idiot" were written in his eyes. Then he walked towards the room. Seeing her doing this, Liang Yu hurriedly grabbed her wrist and told her to leave, and not leave. He had to look at him hatefully.
Liang Yu smiled at her like a scoundrel: "Where are you going? Do you want me? I thought I had watered your flowers to death? I will get you a batch of exactly the same ones tomorrow, okay?"
Xu Yan wanted to explain to him that she just wanted to put the kettle back and then come out to find him, but after she opened her mouth, she realized that she could no longer make any noise. At that moment, countless mixed emotions surged, which made her want to faint immediately.
Liang Yu looked at her like this and understood why her emotions were so ups and downs. I am afraid that it was not because of the anxiety that she wanted to speak but couldn't speak, which made her mood suddenly fall down. Liang Yu still smiled at her so warmly: "Let's play a game, and you write in my palm, I guess what's good?"
How could Xu Yan not understand that this was the step he found for her? She hesitated for a while, but in the end she wrote the first word "stupid" in his palm.
Liang Yu's expression was stunned for a moment. At that moment, Xu Yan almost wanted to stand up and run away, but her wrist was so imprisoned by Liang Yu that she could not move.
Liang Yu is not a good person at all, and now he is making him pretend to be pure and gentle in front of Xu Yan just for her illness. He is trying hard to restrain his urge to not hit Xu Yan, and then gritted his teeth and said the word "stupid".
Xu Yan didn't expect Liang Yu to cooperate with her like this, and she couldn't react for a while. It was not until Liang Yu urged her to let her continue the next one that she woke up. She looked at Liang Yu who was suppressing her emotions, and stopped teasing him, and wrote down her purpose just now.
Liang Yu felt the extremely delicate and soft touch of Xu Yan's strokes, and almost fell into it and couldn't guess her answer. Fortunately, he guessed all the words beside him, and he barely pieced them together to understand what she meant. He smiled, then held Xu Yan's hand and put down the kettle.
While he was holding her forward, Xu Yan wrote a sentence in his palm: "I am very happy that you can come, thank you." Liang Yu did not stop, but the smile on his lips was imprinted deeper.
