Su Yang pursed his thin lips and lowered his head slightly. From this angle, he couldn't see Jing Cheng's expression clearly, but he could see that he was not in a good mood. To be more precise, he was in pain.
But why? Su Yang thought. Wasn't he the culprit who hurt him?
He withdrew his hand and whispered, "They said that during the dog days of Yan City, the sun is very hot and everyone hates the heat. Only I am afraid of the cold."
Jing Cheng paused and clenched his fists tightly.
Su Yang continued, "They also said that my face is pale and that I have a deficiency disease. I'm afraid that I won't live for long …"
Jing Cheng suddenly raised his eyes. His eyes were bloodshot. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Who are they? Who is gossiping in front of you? These people who make irresponsible remarks, I want them to never open their mouths again in this life! "
His eyes were really fierce, as if he had found an outlet to vent. Su Yang was frightened for a second, then his eyes turned red. He stammered, "Don't ask who they are. Just tell me, is it true? Am I dying?"
"No!" Jing Cheng's answer was very straightforward. He said word by word, "I will never allow that kind of thing to happen."
He stood up and tidied up Su Yang's messy robes. The madness in his eyes gradually subsided.
"Don't think too much. You just caught a cold. In addition, your body is delicate. It's inevitable that you have more problems than ordinary people. When we return to Jianzhou, I will ask the Imperial Physician to treat you. You will soon be able to recover your previous health."
He knew that he was lying. Even if he found the key, his little puppy would not be able to return to the past. His body was already damaged. Even if he was supported by medicinal soup every day, he might not be able to live to the age of an ordinary person.
But he was not a person who accepted his fate. No matter how big the price he had to pay, he had to fight for a chance of survival.
Su Yang stared at him blankly. He thought that he was still lying to him.
Jing Cheng sat down on the edge of the bed and pulled Su Yang into his arms. He asked, "You'd rather believe the nonsense of others than your husband?"
Su Yang shook his head. His clear eyes were covered with a layer of mist as he said in a low voice, "Yu 'er believes Husband, so, so Husband, please don't lie to Yu' er, okay?"
Jing Cheng didn't say anything, but he tightened his arms around her.
Su Yang blinked and whispered, "Yu 'er doesn't want to die. If I die, I won't be able to see Mother, Mama, or my husband. If Yu' er misses my husband, where can I find him?"
Jing Cheng said, "Silly girl, your husband will always be with you. I won't let you lose your way."
Su Yang still wanted to say something, but his lips and tongue were blocked. He didn't know why, but he tasted bitterness from Jing Cheng's kiss.

After that day, Su Yang never saw the three people from before again. Jing Cheng placed his own men in every corner of the relay station. Everything about Su Yang, no matter how big or small, was reported to him.
Su Yang could feel the importance he placed on him, but he was worried about the future. The progress had stopped at 90% for several months, but his body was deteriorating day by day.
Although the system had repeatedly comforted him that as long as Jing Cheng continued to inject him with Heavenly Yang Qi, his little life could last for at least a few more years, he no longer dared to believe the system's words.
Previously, when he didn't know, other than the cold, he didn't feel anything wrong with his body. Now that he knew the inside story, he felt that something was wrong with his whole body. He often woke up in the middle of the night with cold sweat and his clothes soaked.
He wasn't sure if it was because of the nightmares or because his condition had worsened, but there was no doubt that this had imperceptibly increased his psychological burden, causing his body to weaken day by day.
Jing Cheng looked at his body that was getting thinner day by day and was secretly anxious. He sent out a few more secret guards to look for Heartless Master.
Years ago, when Heartless Master handed over the Tianshan Xuan Lock to him, he had asked if he wanted the key. At that time, he felt that this question was extremely ridiculous. He had always been ruthless and never left a way out. Why would he want the key?
Jing Cheng never expected that there would be a day when there would be such an existence that could soften his heart and make him feel helpless.
If he had known this would happen … If he had known this would happen, he would have praised him to the heavens from the beginning and would never hurt him in the slightest.
He held Su Yang in his arms and said, "When we return to Jianzhou, let's hold a new wedding banquet. That time, I was left behind by Jing Sheng in the Eastern Palace, so I missed the wedding reception and the ceremony. Let's go back and make up for it one by one."
Su Yang shook his head and said softly, "Yu 'er doesn't want it."
Jing Cheng smiled and said, "Yu 'er, you're angry with me. It was my fault that I was late last time. Your husband apologizes to you. This time, I won't let you wait too long. Your husband will always be with you."
However, Su Yang still shook his head and muttered, "Getting married is so tiring. I can't talk to anyone, and I can't eat snacks. There are so many layers of wedding clothes. It took me a long time to put them on. It's also inconvenient to walk …"
Jing Cheng thought back to the day when he returned from the Eastern Palace. He couldn't find this little puppy in the side chamber, but he found that he had climbed over the wall and entered his bedroom. Under the moonlight, this boy was wearing a red wedding robe and kneeling on the ground. He had bright eyes and white teeth, and his hair was spread out on the ground. His pair of frightened watery eyes were full of spirit.
At that moment, his heart skipped a beat without warning. If he had thought carefully at that time, perhaps he wouldn't have the regret he had today.
