“You’ve done your best. Let’s go back.” Si Mobai lifted Feng Tianlan up and turned around to leave.
Feng Tianlan’s hand clutched Si Mobai’s sleeve, and she struggled to get down to the ground. But despite her struggling, she could not break free. She could only look at him and say, “Mobai, no. I want to save him.”
Si Mobai’s face was as cold as frost. He did not say a word and continued to leave.
“Please. I beg you, Mobai.” Feng Tianlan tightly gripped his sleeve. Her voice was pleading. Big Brother Jin cannot die; he’s innocent.
Si Mobai’s body stiffened, and he simply refused. “No,” he said in a cold voice.
Her body had already reached the limit. Even if her blood could save his life, she could not withstand any more strain like this.
“I will turn my back on you.” Feng Tianlan’s nails turned slightly white because she was squeezing her hand with force.
Si Mobai felt a pain in his heart and averted his gaze. He only cared about whisking her away. She could turn her back on him all she wanted. She would eventually understand.
Feng Tianlan tried her best to open her eyes. Her grip on his sleeve turned shifted to grab his arm. She said weakly but with determination, “Mobai, if something happens to Big Brother Jin, I will blame you. I will hate you, and it will be the end of us.”
That was Big Brother Jin, who had protected her and doted on her for a decade. Furthermore, Big Brother Jin had taken the poison just now because of her. She could not stand by without saving him, knowing that she had life-saving blood. She could not do it.
Si Mobai suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked down at Feng Tianlan, who spoke with determination despite her reddened eyes. He felt as though her words were a knife that stabbed into his heart, making him feel a pain worse than death.
She actually used their relationship to threaten him for the sake of another man!
Si Mobai’s face looked grim while he said coldly, “This is all the more reason why I cannot let you save him.”
“You…”
Si Mobai looked at Feng Tianlan, whose eyes were closed. He flexed his hands tightly and carried her. He marched along calmly outside the Imperial Palace. However, the moment he stepped down onto a step, he stopped and looked down at her, quiet and in a deep sleep. There were still tears glistening on the corners of her eyes.
Mobai, if something happens to Big Brother Jin, I’ll blame you. I’ll hate you, and it will be the end of us.
Her words rang out in his ears, making his feet feel as if they weighed 1000 pounds. He was no longer able to move. He dared not risk it. He had once promised to protect the people she cared about. He did not want to see her looking sad over a close friend again.
In the end, he still could not bear for her to be sad.
Si Mobai flexed his hands and turned around to hand Feng Tianlan to Azurite. “Help prepare some medicine for her and feed it to her,” he said.
Azurite took Feng Tianlan and turned to watch Si Mobai walk toward Xi Jin. He swept the crying Empress as well as the Imperial Physician next to him aside and then crouched down. He cut open his palm and let the blood drip into Xi Jin’s mouth.
Seeing this scene, everyone present watched on in amazement. What was going on with these two? Xi Jin had already had succumbed to the poison. What was Si Mobai trying to do by feeding him blood? Could he be resurrected like this?
Si Mobai’s handsome face was grim. He saw that Xi Jin’s somewhat purplish-green face had gradually begun to turn a little rosy. His breathing, which had seemingly stopped, became faintly discernable and then slowly began to stabilize.
It was only after a long time that Si Mobai got up. He waited until there was no more blood flowing from his palm, Xi Jin’s face had become completely rosy, and his breathing completely stabilized. Because Si Mobai had lost so much blood, his body swayed when he stood up.
He looked coldly at the Empress, who was still sobbing and dared not come forward and said in a cold voice, “Tell Xi Jin that it was Lan’er and me who had saved his life. He must cherish his life and not fight with me for Lan’er. Otherwise, I can take it back.”
