With the appearance of the fourth plum blossom petal, Xiahou Qing's poison acted up more and more frequently. He clearly felt as if there were ants and insects in his organs eating his flesh piece by piece, making him unable to sleep at night. At the same time, he also clearly felt that the hearing he had painstakingly cultivated after losing his sight was gradually being eaten away.
He knew that there was not much time left for him. In the near future, maybe half a year, maybe three months, or maybe only 30 to 50 days, he would have to bid farewell to the world in the most embarrassing manner in the world.
Incense was burning in the carriage and the smoke curled into blurred shapes in the air. Behind the white smoke, Xiahou Qing's porcelain-like face was expressionless. He said lightly, "Nothing. I just want to ask if Tan Shaoqing still wants to marry Xiaoshu."
Tan Siwei was even more confused. If he had not heard Xiahou Qing say this with his own ears, he would have thought that he was dreaming. Although he did not understand, he saw that Xiahou Qing's expression was very serious and did not seem to be joking. So he lowered his eyes and shook his head. "Of course I think about it day and night and look forward to it, but …"
Xiahou Qing immediately interrupted him. "No buts. Let me ask you again. If Xiaoshu is in danger again, are you willing to do your best to protect her?"
"Of course I am willing. But my ability is not as good as yours. I am afraid that I will not be able to do it like this time."
"I only want to ask you, to the best of your ability, can you treat her like your own life, like your own eyes, and be willing to stand in front of her, block all dangers for her, and ensure that she can live out her life safely and smoothly?"
Tan Siwei looked at him in astonishment. Looking at his bloodless face wrapped in the cloak, some kind of speculation suddenly surged in his heart. He subconsciously pressed on the small table and half stood up in surprise. "Xiahou Shizi, could it be that you …"
Xiahou Qing suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were as bright as stars, but he couldn't see anything clearly. It was as if a ball of fire was burning directly into Tan Siwei's heart. "Everything else has nothing to do with you. I'm only giving you this one chance. If you have any hesitation in your heart, then let's forget about this matter. In the future, you and Xiahou Qing will go your separate ways.
The fire in Tan Siwei's heart seemed to have been ignited by his gaze. His limbs and bones were filled with warmth. His heart was still filled with endless confusion, but a hidden desire overwhelmed everything else. This might be his only chance, and also his last chance to get Shu 'er. If he missed it, it would be too late for regrets. This fervent desire caused him to grip the chopping board with all his might without even thinking. He said solemnly and urgently, "If the heavens are merciful and give me this opportunity, Tan Si is willing to die."
Xiahou Qing finally got an answer that satisfied him. He curled his lips, clenched his fists, and coughed heavily a few times. He coughed until his lips turned red. After he finished coughing, his face became more transparent. He suppressed the curve of his lips, closed his eyes and sat quietly for a moment. He raised his hand and waved. "I know. Shaoqing, please go back. In the future, I'll entrust Xiaoshu to you. I hope you remember what you said today. Otherwise, even if it's a violation of the rules of heaven in the Nether World, I'll still come to you."
Hearing the knocking, Jiu Si immediately went in to see the guest out.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with your body …" Tan Siwei still had a lot of questions, but Jiu Si had already asked him to go out with a tough attitude. He stood in the middle of Vermilion Bird Avenue and watched the carriage carrying Xiahou Qing leave without raising a cloud of dust. In the carriage following closely behind, Ning Shu lifted the corner of the curtain and looked at him curiously. Before he could open his mouth to say a word to her, the carriage was already far away.
