C398 Eastern Injuries(2)

After hearing what Lau Yan said, Shangguan Lan remembered that today was their birthday. It was because of this that he came to see Lan Xuehan.

Dongfang Jin had given Emperor Wenjing a memorial early in the morning, saying that this year's birthday would not be held by the Ministry of Rites, nor would there be a banquet in the Imperial Palace. He had his own arrangements.

Emperor Wenjing was naturally very dissatisfied with this, but Dongfang Jin's attitude was firm. Emperor Wenjing had no choice but to agree to this matter.

Others might not know, but how could he not know?

He knew that Dongfang Jin wanted to give Lan Xuehan a surprise, so he specially chose an earlier time to come over. He was afraid that when the time came, Dongfang Jin would bring Lan Xuehan out. If he was late, he would not be able to see anyone.

But after he came, he didn't even say a few words before he found out about this from Lan Xuehan. He was furious for a moment and lost his judgment.

When he heard Lau Yan say this, Shangguan Lan felt a rare sense of guilt.

He pursed his lips. His unruly peach blossom eyes were filled with seriousness and guilt.

"I'm sorry!"

Since young, this was probably the first time Shangguan Lan had apologized to someone like this.

Lau Yan also knew that this master in front of him was famous for being wild and unruly. It was already rare for him to say these two words to a servant like him.

He was also the friend of his own princess. If he was being overbearing, he wouldn't even be able to explain to the princess.

He could only wait silently.

About an hour had passed, and a "bang" was finally heard from inside.

Shangguan Lan was startled, then he pushed open the door and rushed in.

In the room, Dongfang Jin was unconscious in front of Lan Xuehan's bed. The color of his snow white clothes could no longer be seen. Large patches of blood were glaring red, and his jade face was as white as paper. There was also a somewhat lifeless green color, and his red lips were the same as his face. The color was so white that it was terrifying.

His eyes were tightly shut and his brows were tightly knitted. Young Master Wushuang, who used to be high up in the clouds, had a weak aura and was in a sorry state.

On the other hand, Lan Xuehan seemed to have fallen asleep compared to her previous weakness. Her complexion was rosy and her expression was calm.

Anyone with discerning eyes could tell what Dongfang Jin had done. Shangguan Lan glanced at Lan Xuehan and went forward to help Dongfang Jin up.

He placed his palm on his back and continuously transferred his inner energy to Dongfang Jin.

A quarter of an hour passed. Although Dongfang Jin's face was still pale, it was much better than before.

He was still unconscious, so Lau Yan asked Mo Lan to help him to the room next door. Mo Xing had been punished by Dongfang Jin and was sent to the Black Operation to receive punishment. Therefore, Mo Lan took over Mo Xing's position and guarded by Dongfang Jin's side.

In the evening, Lan Xuehan woke up.

She vaguely remembered what happened before she fainted. She remembered the sword that she stabbed into Dongfang Jin's chest. She remembered the blood that came out of Dongfang Jin's mouth. She remembered the injury in his eyes that was filled with disbelief.

Lan Xuehan's heart felt like it was submerged in water. It was so painful that she could not breathe.

She was worried about Dongfang Jin's condition and immediately lifted the blanket to get off the bed.

A series of actions alarmed Shangguan Lan who was guarding the room. Seeing her like this, Shangguan Lan immediately went forward to press her hand and urgently asked, "What do you want to do?"

Lan Xuehan looked at him anxiously, and the guilt and worry in her eyes were not hidden at all. "I want to see him. Shangguan, tell me, how is he?"

Although she did not have any intention of killing him at that time, he was afraid of hurting her. He suddenly retracted his attack and suffered a backlash from his inner energy. Adding these two together, it was already very serious!

Shangguan Lan looked at the anxiety in Lan Xuehan's eyes. After being with her for so many years, he naturally knew what she was thinking in her heart.

He hurriedly replied, "Don't worry, he's fine! Although his injuries are serious, it's not fatal. Xiao Han, I have something to say to you. It's not too late for you to listen to me first before going to see him."

Hearing Shangguan Lan say that he was fine, Lan Xuehan's heart eased a little. Shangguan Lan's tone was serious. She calmed herself down and then looked at him.

"Tell me!"

Shangguan Lan pursed his lips and said with a guilty face, "I'm sorry. If I wasn't too impulsive, I wouldn't have caused such a ruckus between the two of you!"

Hearing this, Lan Xuehan's mind finally cleared up. With a serious expression, she asked, "Shangguan, I know you are not that impulsive. Is there something you are hiding from me?"

She understood Shangguan Lan's character, he was definitely not such a reckless and impulsive person.

He was good at planning, and he could tolerate it. Compared to her carefree personality, he knew better how to judge the situation. This was probably related to his past. That was why she felt that Shangguan Lan must have had some reason to be so impulsive.

Shangguan Lan had long guessed that she would ask such a question, but he tightly pursed his thin lips. His eyes were half closed, and the complex and flickering light inside was concealed.

He let out a low sigh and said with a bit of powerlessness, "Little Han, I'm not willing to lie to you, but I can't tell you the truth either. Don't ask anymore, okay?"

Lan Xuehan seriously stared at the changes in Shangguan Lan's eyes. She could clearly see the stubbornness in the depths of his eyes.

She knew that if he didn't want to say it, no matter how she asked, there wouldn't be a result. Lan Xuehan slightly pursed her lips and nodded, "Okay. Shangguan, I won't ask anymore. But you have to promise me that you will protect yourself under any circumstances!"

Looking at the current situation, most of the things Shangguan Lan didn't want to say had something to do with him. She didn't force him to tell her about the things he was hiding. She just hoped that he would be safe and sound.

Shangguan Lan smiled gently. The corners of his eyes were filled with familiar evil thoughts.

"Don't worry. I'm lucky. I survived a great disaster back then, and this will be my fortune from now on."

After laughing, he said with a serious expression, "Actually, Dongfang Jin didn't have any killing intent towards me from the beginning. Although his moves were fierce, he just wanted to subdue me.

I heard from the butler that Dongfang Jin prepared a birthday gift for you. I think he was afraid that I would delay his time, so he attacked urgently."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Lan Xuehan and saw that there was a faint light flowing in her eyes. He paused for a moment and then said, "After you fainted, he ignored your injuries and used his inner energy to heal your body. Then, he lost his strength and fainted.

Xiao Han, I know that what he did was hard for you to accept. However, he truly loves you. He loves you more than his own life. You've always been transparent. Don't let yourself regret for the rest of your life just because you're stuck in a dead end!"

If it wasn't for Dongfang Jin's actions that made him certain that he had nothing to do with what Old Man Tianshan had told him, he wouldn't have persuaded Lan Xuehan in such a manner.

After Lan Xuehan heard this, her mind was also in a mess. Her heart felt like it had been imprisoned by someone. It was an indescribably chaotic and complicated feeling.

She had never doubted that Dongfang Jin loved her. She just couldn't get past herself. If she could only deceive and use him, she could do her best to forgive him and forgive him.

After all, she was already pregnant. Even if it was for the sake of the child, she wouldn't be angry for so long.

But it just so happened that Lyi Beichen's death was between them.
