Chapter 131 World 8: Young Master Wu Yi, Unrivaled in the World
Yue You was most aware of the changes in her body. When Wu Yi finished feeding her the medicine on the fourth day, she rushed over without hesitation and ripped Wu Yi's clothes off her chest. She saw that the gauze she had just changed today was still stained with fresh blood.
Yue You's eyes were red with anger, tears welling up in her eyes: "Are you crazy? I told you not to save me!"
Wu Yi smiled slightly, reached out and gently stroked Yue You's cheek, his eyes firm and gentle: "But I made the right bet."
Yue You was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond, so she had to change the subject and said in a muffled voice, "Don't you feel any pain?" She looked at the gauze on Wu Yi's chest, and a complex emotion surged in her heart.
Wu Yi gently put down the medicine bowl, sat beside the bed and hugged her tightly: "It hurts, You'er, if you don't want me to feel pain, just drink the medicine obediently and get better soon."
"I don't deserve it."
Prince Wu Yi, a man of unparalleled grace and beauty, has captivated the history of the ages. Even though his talent was forsaken by heaven and he died young, he remains a beloved beauty and nobleman praised by generations to come.
Now, he did not die at the age of twenty as recorded in history books. He must have a bright future and a brilliant career. Why should he get entangled with someone like her who was covered in mud?
"Whether it's worth it or not, I know it clearly." Wu Yi held her shoulders, his eyes sharp as a torch, and said seriously, "You'er, in three days, your poison will be completely eliminated. Will you stay with me from now on?"
"The past is like a passing cloud, so why dwell on it? You also said that the historical records show Wu Yi passed away at the age of twenty. So let's just treat Yue You and Wu Yi as if they were gone in the dust of history, okay? Let's walk hand in hand for the rest of our lives."
Yue You gazed at the sincerity and determination in his eyes, and finally nodded gently.
Yue You's body gradually recovered, and she no longer wanted to stay in bed all day. She heard that because of the war, many people were displaced and flocked to Yucheng to seek refuge like rootless duckweed.
People are arranged to distribute porridge in the city every day, and Wuyi will go with Bai Ze to inspect and provide relief to the victims. Yueyou feels that she has nothing to do at home in the city lord's mansion all day, so she begs Wuyi to let her go out to distribute porridge.
How could Wu Yi be willing to refuse her, so she arranged for several maids and guards to accompany her before letting her go out with peace of mind.
When Yue You was distributing porridge, she saw those displaced people with dull eyes, and she couldn't help but feel pity, as if a thorn in her throat.
The future world she lives in advocates peaceful coexistence. Although there will be wars, they are far away from her. The motherland protects her children very well. Now, she deeply feels the cruelty of war from these people.
Yue You knew that Yucheng's acceptance of these refugees was merely a temporary solution and would sooner or later become a target of public criticism. Bai Ze and Wu Yi naturally understood this as well, having consistently sent people to investigate the war situation. Yucheng's existence was no secret, and it was only a matter of time before other nations coveted it.
Wu Yi once asked Yue You what the historical records showed about the country ruled by Jing Qianju. She faithfully recounted the prosperous era of the Great Jing. It had to be admitted that Jing Qianju was a good emperor, and the Great Jing Dynasty was peaceful and prosperous.
Wu Yi and Bai Ze had discussed that if Jing Qianju set his sights on Yucheng, they would choose to surrender, just to prevent the people in the city from suffering the ravages of war again.
He also agreed with Yue You that if Jing Qianju came to him, he would take her away and travel around the world, seeing the prosperity of the world and staying away from the right and wrong of the past.
Looking at his high-spirited appearance, Yueyou snuggled in his arms with full of longing, filled with endless yearning for the future he described.
On the sixth day, Yue You drank the antidote and excitedly went out with her maid and guards, ready to help the people. As winter approached and the weather grew colder, they not only had to provide porridge but also some clothing and bedding to the victims to help them have a safer winter.
Today, there are a new group of refugees in the city. It is said that this is because the King of Jing suddenly accelerated the pace of expansion for unknown reasons, and the State of Jiang chose to surrender after losing the war with the State of Jing.
Refugees who had escaped from the State of Jiang reported that the King of Jing seemed to be searching for someone important and had turned the State upside down. Because the State of Jing was vast and populous, and because it had annexed several other states, it also had a relatively large military force. Almost every city had a troop stationed there, checking passersby everywhere.
Yueyou paused for a moment when she heard the news, then walked towards the victims with her bedding in her arms as if nothing had happened.
She made no secret of her relationship with Wuyi. When Yueyou wasn't at the porridge distribution hall, she would always follow Wuyi. Wuyi's tenderness and love for her were evident, all visible to everyone. Everyone who met them understood that they were a pair of lovers. Furthermore, Wuyi was the second-in-command of Yucheng, and those who had received her help would always remember this kindness.
That day, after Yue You had distributed all the supplies, she was about to go home when she was suddenly stopped by an old lady.
"Miss Wuyou." Yueyou was now known as Wuyou, a name Wuyi had chosen for her. This name was both deceptive and carefree, while also hinting at some of his subtle thoughts.
Hearing the call from the auntie, Yue You smiled and asked in confusion, "Auntie, what do you want to talk to me about?"
The old lady quickly pulled her into a nearby shop and said as they walked, "We have always been blessed by the city lord and the young master. We are deeply grateful and have been thinking about how to repay their kindness. It was only recently that we learned of your relationship with the young master, so after discussing it with the other aunts, we decided to rush out a set of wedding attire for you and your daughter overnight."
"Huh?" Yue You stared blankly at the red wedding dress in front of her, her eyes wide. Due to the lack of material, the dress wasn't inlaid with many jewels, but simplicity is often the most stunning.
The maid beside her couldn't help but laugh and said, "This wedding dress suits the young lady very well. If the young master saw the young lady wearing this wedding dress, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to take his eyes off her."
"Yes, young lady, please try it on to see if it fits you so that we can make some modifications." The old lady urged Yueyou to go behind the screen to change clothes, and the maid beside her also encouraged her to go over.
Yue You was pushed behind the screen and changed into her wedding dress. When she put on the red wedding dress, everyone present exclaimed in admiration.
Yue You looked at herself in the bronze mirror. She had never thought that one day she would wear a red wedding dress again. The maid praised her and said that she and Wu Yi were a perfect match.
She looked at herself in the mirror and suddenly looked forward to Wu Yi's reaction when she saw her like this. But she couldn't help but think of how she had abandoned him.
Thinking of that night, she suddenly felt that the red wedding dress was very dazzling. The dress was very good, but she felt very dirty.
She was immersed in her own thoughts and was suddenly brought back to her senses by screams coming from outside.
"There's an assassin!" The guards outside the door ran in hurriedly. The guards who had been on standby quickly protected Yue You and planned to take her to hide.
"Miss, please go inside and hide." Two guards stood at the door, while the others escorted Yue You and the maid into the house.
The lady took Yueyou and the two maids into the inner room, then locked the door. The guards stood outside, paying close attention.
"what--"
A scream came from inside the door, and the guard was startled and kicked the door open.
What caught my eye were two people lying in a pool of blood, one was the old lady, and the other was Yue You.
One maid was holding Yue You, while the other was trying to suppress a man in black. They knew martial arts, otherwise Wu Yi would not have let them follow Yue You.
Two guards immediately went up to help catch the man in black. The maid holding Yue You said in a panic, "Girl, girl, hold on."
Lord Bai said that in this situation the injured should not be touched, so she did not dare to touch Yue You's wound. No one had expected that there was a killer hiding in the house.
Wu Yi ran to find Yue You as soon as he received the news of the civil unrest in the city, but he never expected to see the scene before him.
When Yue You saw him, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile. However, this smile made her face turn as pale as paper, as if her vitality was rapidly draining away.
Wu Yi's whole body was trembling, and her hands were almost uncontrollably moving as she took Yue You from the maid's arms. Her body was so light that it seemed as if it would float away at any moment.
"You're here." Yueyou's voice was weak and calm, as if she had accepted the arrangement of fate.
Wu Yi saw the blackened dagger in her hand and the blood on her body, and he instantly collapsed. He hugged her tightly and murmured to himself: "No, no..."
The antidote to the poison required seven days of simmering blood from the heart, with no bleeding or poisoning during that period, or death would be inevitable. But now, it was too late.
Why is it like this? Wu Yi hugged Yue You tightly, tears falling like rain. He didn't understand why fate had to treat them like this. Why?
Yue You raised her hand with difficulty, gently stroked Wu Yi's face, and said softly: "Don't cry, I don't belong to this era. Now... I just want to go home." After that, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.
Wu Yi held Yue You's hand tightly, feeling her gradually cooling body temperature, his heart aching. He lowered his head and kissed Yue You's forehead, tears dripping down her face.
Yue You used up her last bit of strength, held Wu Yi's cheeks with both hands, smiled with tears in her eyes, said something, and slowly closed her eyes.
"I have seen him, Master Wuyi, unrivaled in the world."
