After the door was closed, Yan Shu returned to the bedside, took out a dagger in a serious manner, and looked at the young man on the bed.

"Aren't you afraid?"

“Is death more terrible than life?”

Facing the young man's calm eyes, Yan Shu fell silent.

For his gloomy life, living is indeed more terrifying than death.

"I won't take your blood. Even if living is more difficult for you than dying right now, people won't always have difficulties. Just like you met me at this moment, your luck will change from now on."

After saying this, Yan Shu stood up and walked to the table, took out some human blood used in the experiment from the space laboratory, and poured it directly into the jade bowl brought by the eunuch. Then he walked to the bedside and began to treat the wound for the eleventh prince.

The boy stared at her silently without saying a word.

She is so beautiful, as beautiful as her mother.

"Have a good sleep."

Yan Shu rubbed the boy's wet hair. The moment the soft hand touched his hair, the boy felt that his body was not so cold and the taste in his mouth was not so bitter.

After the eleventh prince fell asleep, Yan Shu walked out of the house holding the bowl of blood.

The eunuch who was waiting outside came forward immediately.

"Send this blood back."

"Thank you, Miss Cui. I'll send it back right away."

Yan Shu looked at the eunuchs and palace maids who were kneeling on the ground and trembling. Two of them had been beaten and were lying on the ground covered in blood.

Jiang Qiuchi came to Yan Shu and sighed softly, "It wasn't Eleventh Brother who fell into the water. These two slaves pushed him into the water on purpose. I will report this to my father. Miss Cui, how is Eleventh Brother doing?"

Yan Shu said: "The person is fine for now, but he won't be able to hold out for long if he keeps taking blood from the same person."

Jiang Qiuchi was silent for a while: "What this prison lacks the most is pitiful people."

Yan Shu could sense the helplessness in Jiang Qiuchi's words. As Jiang Ci, he was caught in the vortex of royal struggles. One could imagine what he had been going through in the past two years.

"Your Majesty, it's time to wake up. I'll trouble His Majesty the Seventh Prince to send two reliable servants to guard this place."

"it is good."

After returning to the Taiji Hall, Yan Shu removed the silver needles from Emperor Hongwu's body, and Emperor Hongwu woke up soon after.

Yan Shu took the opportunity to mention the situation in the cold palace. When he learned that his son had fallen into the water and his heart blood had been taken, there was no fluctuation in the eyes of the man in front of him.

The imperial family is the most ruthless. She heard that the Ye family is full of heartless men, and she really learned this from the old emperor.

"Girl Cui's medical skills are indeed amazing. You saved Eleven's life. From now on, I'll leave the blood collection to you."

Yan Shu accepted it with pleasure: "I obey your command!"

-

In March, apricot blossoms and light rain fall, and the quiet breeze blows across the entire Jiangnan beauty.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when the results of the imperial examination were announced, and it was already the end of March.

Yan Wu ran back from outside early in the morning.

"Little sister, little sister, it's won, it's won! Jiang Ci won the first place! Many people are talking about him under the imperial edict. They all say that he is the only top three winners in the Sui Dynasty in the past hundred years. I have to say that Jiang Ci is really capable!" Although he always looked at Jiang Ci coldly in recent times, but when he learned that Jiang Ci won the first place, the smile on Yan Wu's face never stopped.

There was joy in Yan Shu's eyes. In fact, Jiang Ci's success was completely within her expectations, but she was still very happy to hear the good news in person.

Yan Wu picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it down in one gulp.

"And Wen Yutang, he ranks 13th, which is also a very good result. How come both of them are so good at studying? Oh, I hope the third brother can also make a name for himself in the future."

Yan Shu said: "Books are a golden house. Even if you don't pursue a career in politics, they can broaden your horizons."

"You are right, little sister. There are many young ladies from official families outside the Imperial Examination Hall, choosing their husbands. But I didn't see Jiang Ci, and I don't know if he went there. Why don't you go look for him?"

Yan Shu sat at his desk and wrote a letter home, saying slowly, "He is the most popular person in the capital today. I'm sure many people are lining up to go to Hongyue Tower to see him. I won't join in the fun."

"Aren't you afraid that he will be favored by other women?"

Yan Shu smiled faintly: "If I get it, I'm lucky, if I don't, it's my fate. Brother, don't worry about me."

Besides, she doesn't have much time left, so she will be satisfied if she cherishes the present moment.

Late night

There was a slight creaking sound from the door and window, and a dark shadow turned over and jumped into the house. His cold eyes looked at the sleeping woman, and a doting smile instantly appeared in his eyes.

He walked over to the bed, placed his hands on either side of the woman's body, and leaned over to place a gentle kiss on her lips.

Yan Shu woke up instantly when he noticed something strange, but his nervous heart finally calmed down when he saw the man.

"Why did you come here in the middle of the night?"

"I'm busy during the day, and it's already this hour when I'm done."

Yan Shu pulled his collar and sniffed: "Have you been drinking?"

"Yeah, I had a few drinks."

Jiang Ci's eyes were slightly drunk, and he buried his head in her delicate neck.

"Jiaojiao, you smell really good. Not only can it help me sleep and calm my nerves, but it can also help me sober up."

Yan Shu was noncommittal: "I have really become a magical medicine."

"You are my medicine, my medicine alone."

Yan Shu smelled the strong smell of alcohol on him, which was quite pungent, so he took him and slipped into the space.

"I'll go run the water in the bathroom so you can take a nice bath."

Yan Shu helped Jiang Ci sit on the sofa in the living room. Jiang Ci stared at her and refused to look away.

Yan Shu turned around and ran to the bathroom, filling the bathtub with appropriately warm water.

A pair of strong arms wrapped around her waist from behind, and Jiang Ci stuck to her like a sticky candy.

His deep voice whispered in her ears with bewitching power.

"Jiaojiao, soon...soon everything here will be over. Will you marry me then? I want to marry my Jiaojiao with a grand wedding and a sedan chair, and hide her well from now on."

Yan Shu's body stiffened slightly and he was silent for a moment. She patted his hand gently.

"You're drunk. Be good and take a bath first. I'll make you a bowl of sobering soup."

"I'm not drunk. I know exactly what I'm saying. Today, the wife of a classmate is pregnant. When I saw her bulging belly, I thought, how beautiful the baby my Jiaojiao will give birth to will be. But then I thought about how painful it would be for a woman to give birth, so I gave up the idea. It's enough for me to have Jiaojiao, and it's enough for Jiaojiao to have me. We're going to be together for a long time. I'm going to be your husband for all my lives."

Yan Shu clenched his hands tightly at his sides, and a feeling of bitterness lingered in his heart.

How great it would be if it was really as Jiang Ci expected.

"Okay, just be good and take off your clothes so I can wash them. There are some clean clothes for you in the bedroom. I'll get them for you later."

Yan Shu forcefully pried Jiang Ci's hands apart, then turned around and touched his cheek lovingly.

"I'll make you a bowl of hangover soup."

Jiang Ci leaned over and kissed her on the lips, his phoenix eyes staring straight at her, his pupils filled with countless affection and love that seemed to be about to overflow at any moment.

He nodded obediently: "Okay."

Yan Shu stood on tiptoe and gave him a kiss on the center of his brow, then walked out of the bathroom with a smile on his face. The moment he closed the door, tears instantly fell.
