Extra 6.2 If (Part 2.2)
This person he once called Ah Ren was so strong, no matter what, he should not have fallen to this state, something must have gone wrong.
But at this time, there was no one else to vent, and there was nowhere to find the reason, and the order to drive the guard into the Side Hall was also given by himself.
Chu Yan had a lot of nameless anger that he couldn’t vent, and in the end he could only flick his sleeve and curse the person who was asleep, “Waste! Scoundrel!”
On the bed, Mo Ren suddenly frowned in pain, his fingers spasmed and tightened the corner of the quilt, and a weak breath came out of his throat.
Chu Yan’s eyes twitched.
But he saw the person’s pale lips move, murmuring vaguely, “Master…”
If the person was truly awake, it would be fine, but in this semi-conscious state, his vulnerability was completely exposed.
This servant, covered in scars, was so weak that he seemed to have only a breath left, calling him with a breathy voice, “…Master…”
Chu Yan’s face was icy and green, he looked down at his former personal guard, his fingers clenched into a fist, the protruding knuckles reflected under the light.
The gloom in his eyes seemed like the prelude to a killing.
But when he spoke again, his voice was clearly hoarse, “This Master won’t argue with you tonight.”
This sentence took all his strength, Chu Yan propped his heavy forehead with his hand, stared at Mo Ren for a long time, and let out a long sigh of exhaustion..
He closed his eyes and murmured in a low voice, “Forget it…won’t argue… If you behave in the future, this Master won’t argue anymore.”
Just at this moment, Mo Ren’s eyelids struggled twice, and slowly opened his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, the first thing he naturally saw was Chu Yan by the bed.
If it were normal times, the tormented servant would probably roll off the bed in fear and kneel. But now this person was not clear-headed, for a moment, he just stared at the palace master, as if he was seeing some dreamlike scene.
Chu Yan couldn’t stand Mo Ren’s look, so he turned his face away with a stern face and threw down a sentence, “Do you know you were wrong?”
He spoke this sentence very smoothly, and thought to himself: this person has fallen into such a state, it can be considered that he has suffered some punishment. If he really knows he was wrong, it is not impossible to consider forgiving him and letting him return to the main hall.
–If the palace master had not been poisoned, at this moment, he would certainly find it strange that he would want a guy who almost killed his beloved to come back to his side.
He would be surprised at the contradiction in his heart, he would notice the strangeness, and then he would realize the false heart misled by the poisonous fragrance, and the true affection that he could not forget.
But Chu Yan did not realize what was wrong, so he just put on a cold face and waited for the answer with a twisted heart.
“…..”
Mo Ren’s pupils were dilated, his eyelids were tired and half-open, he opened his mouth slightly, but he couldn’t say a word… The daily torture had destroyed him.
At this moment, under the high fever, his eyes were spinning, he only felt his body was hot one moment and cold the next, and his consciousness was blurry. His stomach was so hungry that he had no hunger, only cramps, so painful that he wished he could curl up.
Chu Yan leaned on the head of the bed and waited for him for a while, unable to bear it, suddenly reached out and patted the cheek of the former guard.
The palace master said in a low voice, “This Master is asking you. You’ve been in the Side Hall for more than two years, do you know how severe it is?”
This person was stubborn and unrepentant, he had always been like this, he knew best. So this time, when Chu Yan asked again, he didn’t even mention whether he knew he was wrong or not, he just asked if he knew how severe it was.
As long as he admits his mistake, Chu Yan thought.
Admitting a mistake, at least give him a step down? As long as Mo Ren is willing to take a step back, even half a step, he can take advantage of the situation and forgive him for the many great sins he committed before.
If this is Mo Ren’s plot, then he will let this round go and allow this person to succeed.
Chu Yan gritted his teeth and stared at his phoenix eyes, not realizing that he was a little nervous.
“…..” Mo Ren blinked slowly, his eyes lost to the point of dullness. He didn’t have much consciousness left to be sober, he looked at Chu Yan blankly for a long time, and after a long time, he called out meaninglessly, “Master…?”
Chu Yan felt as if he had been granted amnesty, he simply wanted to lean on his hand and take a deep breath.
Enough, Mo Ren didn’t argue with him anymore, and still called him master, then he reluctantly considered this person as admitting his mistake.
But the next moment, a weak voice came from the bed.
“…Subordinate…not admit mistake.”
Chu Yan flicked his long sleeve, and with a crackling sound, the porcelain bottle at the head of the bed shattered all over the place.
The corners of the palace master’s eyes were blood red, and he spat out the words from his teeth, “Scoun-drel.”
