“Mochuan!” She raised her voice.

He closed his eyes and said hoarsely, “Shaobai can’t hang on for long.”

“What can’t hang on? What do you mean? What’s wrong with Shaobai?”

Chen Ning seemed to not have heard him clearly. She opened her eyes wide in disbelief.

Mo Chuan took a deep breath and raised his eyes to look at her.

His face was pale. His eyes were solemn. His voice was heavy with a trace of tremor.

“Shaobai…… is about die.”

Like thunder exploding in her ears, it stunned her silly.

She stared at Mochuan, unable to process what he had said.

What did he mean? Shaobai, Chu Shaobai couldn’t hang on? He…… was dying?

How was this possible? This was impossible!

“Mochuan, you’re joking, right? You’re lying to me, right?” Her voice trembled. Tears unconsciously swelled in her eyes.

He held her hands and felt her body shaking.

“It’s true, Ning’er. I didn’t lie to you.”

“But why? Tell me exactly what happened! Tell me! Didn’t he go to the divine doctor to get medicine? Why is he suddenly dying?”

Her body shook. She hung firmly onto him and stared at him.

Mochuan once again deeply inhaled. Pain flashed across his face. He didn’t avoid her gaze, but steadily said, “He didn’t go find the number one doctor in the world. He has been in the capital the whole time, in Imperial Physician Zhang’s fu [official residence]Read more chapters at NovelFull

“You were bitten by the snake on the wedding night. Your life was in danger. Imperial Physician Zhang said that only Thousand-Year-Old Snow Ginseng can save your life. I went to Chu Shaoyang, but he refused to take it out to save your life.

“He…… He said that he won’t unless I gave you to him. I didn’t hesitate before rejecting him. I know that you would rather die than go back to him. At that time, I decided to die with you. After I returned to the Palace, Shaobai came over. He brought Thousand-Year-Old Snow Ginseng soup over. But he fainted as soon as he came inside.

“I discovered that he had a deep sword wound in his chest. Blood was flowing down. In order to save you, he actually used a reverse psychology trick and let Chu Shaoyang stabbed his body. He brought the Thousand-Year-Old Snow Ginseng soup over to save you, but he collapsed.”

He paused here. That was because tears had gushed out of his eyes. His throat choked up.

He looked up and controlled himself as to not let the tears fall. He didn’t want her to see his tears.

Chen Ning listened in a daze. She did not notice that Mochuan was crying, because her eyes were covered with tears. She couldn’t see anything anymore.

But she opened her eyes wide and looked at Mochuan without blinking. Her face was as pale as Mochuan’s. Her lips trembled. After a long time, she asked hoarsely, “He…… To save me, he is dying, right?”

Mochuan closed his eyes and said lightly, “En.”

Her body shook again. There was no warmth in her fingertips. She trembled so much that he could not hold onto her hands.

“And then? You gave the soup that he brought over to me, didn’t you? Mochuan, why did you save me and didn’t save him? Don’t you know that if he died because of me, I can never be at ease or happy for my whole life?!”
