Chapter 544 That was the only moment in his life when he felt warm
Intense stabbing pain suddenly arose from his chest, but in an instant it accumulated to a level that he could not bear. Jiang Silin's body paused, and he slapped the little guy in the abdomen!
Guan Zhili's suppressed cry of pain and the sound of his body falling to the ground overlapped and were drowned out by Jiang Silin's angry roar.
"what did you do to me?!"
"What did you do to me you bastard?!"
The cloth on Jiang Silin's chest was stained with blood into a deeper black color, and it was sticky and blood was dripping.
Guan Zhili's situation wasn't much better.
Jiang Silin used almost all his strength in that palm strike just now. As soon as his thin body fell to the ground, he suddenly turned over and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Zhu Qian, who knew how much the little guy liked this new brother, held his breath for a moment. He no longer cared about chasing after those traitors whom he hated so much, and immediately rushed towards the direction where Guan Zhili fell.
He stretched out his hand and tentatively pressed twice on the place where Guan Zhili was attacked. After finding out the other party's injuries, the look in his eyes immediately sank.
"how?"
A low, anxious voice came from above my head.
Zhu Qian looked up in response, met Jiang Yanchuan's concerned eyes, and then shook his head slowly and heavily.
Guan Zhili had several broken ribs, and he couldn't find out the condition of his lungs for the time being, but seeing that the little guy was having difficulty breathing and looked like he had just been pulled out of the water, he could clearly judge... this little guy was probably beyond help and incurable.
Jiang Yanchuan's eyebrows trembled when he heard this: "Get out of the way."
Zhu Qian quickly stood up and made room for Emperor Mingze.
Jiang Yanchuan squatted down and took out a small and exquisite white porcelain bottle from his sleeve. He poured out all the pills inside and placed them next to Guan Zhili's lips: "Open your mouth."
In his palm was the pill that the little guy had stuffed into his hand before. The instructions that came with the medicine bottle said that this pill was made with the life's work of a medical genius from the previous dynasty. It could replenish blood and energy at critical moments, allowing people with serious injuries to hang on to their last breath and give them time to find a way to save them.
A "ho ho" sound like a leak of air came out of Guan Zhili's throat. Hearing the sound, he forced himself to turn around and glanced at the rough hand that Emperor Mingze had extended to him.
After seeing the pill in the other person's hand, he shook his head weakly: "Thank... Thank you, Your Majesty——"
But no need.
He had already pledged his death before coming here today, without even the slightest desire to live. He didn't want to waste the pills in Emperor Mingze's hands, which were obviously very expensive.
——He personally killed his biological father who might have loved him very much. As retribution, he should pay with his life.
Jiang Yanchuan's eyes darkened, and he stretched his hand forward a little further: "Don't mess around!"
Guan Zhili turned around and spat out another large mouthful of blood. Just as he was about to say something, he heard a series of crazy laughter coming from the opposite side.
"Hahahaha-"
"hahahahahahahahaha--"
Jiang Silin stretched out his hand and pressed several acupoints on his body several times before he was finally able to utter coherent sentences.
He looked at Jiang Yanchuan opposite him with wild laughter, and the curves of his lips and eyebrows were full of sarcasm.
"Jiang Yanchuan! It has come to this point, why are you still pretending to be a good person?!"
"If you really care about that little brat you found out of nowhere, why would you send him to carry out such a mission that means he will die?!"
"You are so hypocritical——"
"You are just like that old man. You pretend to be kind on the surface, but you are actually cold-hearted. In order to kill me, you can even use a child this big. It's simply—"
"Jiang Silin." Jiang Yanchuan suddenly spoke, interrupting the other party's words, "I brought Zhili back from Beiming."
Just this one sentence made Jiang Silin's facial expressions freeze.
He had a gloomy face and stared at Jiang Yanchuan's expression, as if trying to find the subtle changes in the other's expression.
Jiang Yanchuan ignored Jiang Silin's reaction and continued, "As an abandoned son left in the palace by King Beiming, he led the ministers who had not yet escaped out of the city to surrender. At that time, he was extremely thin and even his robe was worn out from washing."
"I became somewhat interested in this child, so I sent someone to investigate."
None of the people who knew the source of the news spoke up to expose Jiang Yanchuan's nonsense.
"Eight years ago," Jiang Yanchuan spoke each word with an almost cruel voice, revealing the news he had heard from the little fellow, "He was abandoned deep in Luwei Alley. Someone happened to pass by and took him into the palace. He replaced the baby girl that the concubine had just given birth to, and he became the prince who was bullied by everyone in the palace."
Jiang Yanchuan slowly spoke out the place name that he had just heard from Qiu Suxin not long ago. Jiang Silin's breathing stagnated, and his face, which had already lost color due to serious injuries, became visibly paler.
He looked blankly back and forth at the little guy's face. After a while, he said in a panic, "Impossible!"
"Jiang Yanchuan! Don't think you can just do this—"
The warm liquid flowed across his cold cheeks. Jiang Silin angrily accused Jiang Yanchuan of his inferior methods. It felt like a huge rock was pressing on his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Amidst the shouting at the top of his lungs, Guan Zhili spoke weakly, "Daddy..."
Jiang Silin seemed to have a switch pressed by someone, and all his movements stopped instantly.
"Zhili, Zhili, I heard from your Majesty that you and mother sent people to Beiming to look for me. Is that true?"
Guan Zhili was already very weak. He paused several times in the middle of a sentence, and his voice was extremely weak. However, it was these words that made Jiang Silin's body freeze for a long time before he uttered, "Then why did you..."
It was a sentence without any beginning or end, but Guan Zhili understood it.
His father was asking him why he stood on Emperor Mingze's side, why he used hidden weapons against him, and why he refused the life-saving pills.
Guan Zhili lowered his eyes.
"because……"
In the darkest moment of his life—
"She walked through the crowds of people, walked firmly to my side, and held my hand."
That was the only moment in his life when he felt warm.
He couldn't let his biological father hurt the little guy because of treason, so he had to do it himself.
He killed his own father, so he couldn't live in this world anymore.
After saying this, Guan Zhili suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood. Then, his eyes slowly closed weakly and he fell to the side.
Before his mind completely fell into darkness, he finally heard a heart-wrenching sound from the other side -
“Save him!”
"Jiang Yanchuan, please save him!"
"I'm not going to rebel anymore, please save him——"
so good.
Such an inappropriate thought popped into his mind in a daze.
There is one more person who loves him in this world.
