You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

Chapter 88 Zhao Zhao, I've been waiting for you for a long time

When Lin Zhaoyue woke up, it was already a day later. Lin Kaiji was standing by her bed, looking haggard and with bloodshot eyes.

In just one day, blue stubble had grown on his face.

Seeing her wake up, her eyes were filled with joy, and she called out:

"Send in the physician."

Then he looked at Lin Zhaoyue and asked with concern:

"How does Zhao Zhao feel now?"

Lin Zhaoyue now felt as if her internal organs were burned by fire. She felt a burning pain inside her body and was more tired than ever before.

She wanted to shake her head and say it was okay, but a taste of blood rose in her throat, so she turned her head and spit it out.

The blood is black, and the original red color is no longer visible.

Lin Kaiji said anxiously:

"Zhao Zhao..."

There was a rush of footsteps outside the door.

Lin Zhaoyue looked up and saw a man in a black velvet robe with a long white vertical stripe drawn on his forehead, extending to the center of his eyebrows. He had a fierce aura, which was very different from the gentleness of most doctors.

Lin Zhaoyue didn't like it at first sight.

"Miss, let me take your pulse."

Lin Zhaoyue hummed weakly and stretched out her hand.

The doctor put a handkerchief on her wrist and felt her pulse for a while. Then he suddenly looked horrified and fell to his knees with a thump.

"Sir, the snake venom has penetrated deeply into the young lady's lungs. She is beyond redemption. I can only protect her for a month at most!"

"You idiot, you can't even cure this. Come, take this quack away and chop him up!"

As Lin Kaiji finished speaking, four well-trained guards walked in.

The doctor was so frightened that he trembled all over and kowtowed repeatedly:

"Master, spare my life! Miss is poisoned. Unless a great immortal descends, no one in the world can cure her!"

"Miss, please save me..."

As he said this, he banged his head against Lin Zhaoyue desperately, causing blood to come out of his forehead.

When Lin Zhaoyue knew that she only had one month to live, her almond-shaped eyes became empty and dull.

Then, he smiled bitterly:

"As expected, what you owe must be repaid!"

It seemed that she was doomed to die after falling off the cliff.

"Brother, let him go! Zhao Zhao doesn't want to cause more killing."

This wasn't the doctor's fault, she deserved it!

Lin Kaiji's eyes were bloodshot and veins bulged on his forehead, like an angry lion.

"Big brother..."

Lin Zhaoyue prayed.

"For Zhao Zhao's sake, I won't kill you. Get out!"

The doctor rolled away, crawling all the way.

After everyone left, Lin Zhaoyue reached out and grabbed Lin Kaiji's sleeve, pulled the corner of her mouth and smiled:

"Don't worry, big brother. Zhao Zhao should have died when he fell off the cliff. He lived for another month, which is considered a gain."

Hearing Lin Zhaoyue's words, Lin Kaiji rebuked:

"Don't say stupid things. Zhao Zhao will live a long life. Even if I search for famous doctors all over the world, I will cure Zhao Zhao. It's all your fault. If I hadn't taken you hiking, it would have been fine. Why are you so stupid? Why did you help me block the snake? Your brother has thick skin and flesh. He would be fine even if he was bitten by it. If it weren't for..."

As Lin Kaiji spoke, he began to choke up.

Lin Zhaoyue remembered that she was bitten on her feet as well, so she said:

"Brother, don't blame yourself. Zhao Zhao is very lucky to have saved you. Otherwise, two people would have died now."

"It's all my brother's fault for not protecting you..."

Remembering something, Lin Kaiji took out a white jade bracelet from his arms. The jade bracelet was crystal clear and looked like top-grade jade, and it also exuded a unique fragrance.

"This is the peace jade that my elder brother asked for Zhao Zhao yesterday. It will definitely keep Zhao Zhao safe."

As he spoke, he put the jade bracelet on Lin Zhaoyue's hand.

The jade bracelet was slightly cool.

"Thank you, brother. Zhao Zhao is fine."

As the two were talking, the doctor came in with a bowl of medicine.

Lin Zhaoyue reached out to take it and drank it.

Just waking up exhausted a lot of energy. After drinking the medicine, Lin Zhaoyue began to feel a little sleepy.

Seeing that Lin Zhaoyue wanted to sleep, Lin Kaiji said:

"Zhao Zhao, go to sleep if you want. Big brother will be by your side to watch over you."

Lin Zhaoyue knew that Lin Kaiji was worried about her at the moment, so she said nothing more, pulled back the quilt and closed her eyes.

Not sure if it was the effect of the snake venom or the bowl of medicine, but Lin Zhaoyue had a bizarre dream.

She dreamed that she was in a forest and there was no one around.

She had two little buns on her head, covered with cockleburs, and her pink skirt was so dirty and torn that it was in a terrible state.

This seems to be her when she was eight years old?

Suddenly, there was a squeaking sound above her head. Lin Zhaoyue looked up and saw a wild monkey on a cherry tree, grinning at her.

At this moment, there were a few red cherries stuffed in her little hands.

In fact, she was scared to death, but she still kept bragging, saying that her elder brother was a great general who guarded the border and subdued demons. If it snatched her thing away, she would definitely tell her elder brother and ask him to take it back.

It is true that Big Brother is guarding the border, but it is false that he is subduing demons!

She knew from a young age that there were no demons in the world.

The little monkey was obviously not afraid and pounced on her to grab her, scaring her so much that she burst into tears and shouted, "Brother, come and save Zhaozhao."

Sure enough, her sincere call moved God.

Behind a big tree, her elder brother was indeed there.

Lin Kaiji picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at the monkey quickly, fiercely and accurately. The monkey was scared and ran away decisively.

When the dream reached this point, Lin Zhaoyue woke up.

When I woke up, there was still a smile on my face.

She didn't know why she had such a dream, she felt silly.

It's interesting though.

Maybe the medicine the doctor gave me worked.

Lin Zhaoyue felt much better.

"Miss, are you awake?"

Cuizhu said in surprise.

Lin Zhaoyue nodded, not seeing Lin Kaiji, and asked:

"Where's my elder brother?"

"The master is in the study. I will go and call him over right away."

"No, I can go there by myself."

"But the lady's body..."

Cuizhu seemed to want to speak but stopped herself.

Lin Zhaoyue shook her head and said:

"It's out of the way."

After Cuizhu had dressed her up, Lin Zhaoyue went to Lin Kaiji's study.

The study is a forbidden area. Except for the young ladies and princesses, servants like them are not allowed to enter or leave at will.

Cuizhu waited outside.

Hearing the footsteps outside the door, Lin Kaiji raised his hand to signal the person opposite to stop, and then said:

"Qingzhu is just a maid, why did the prince arrest her?"

The person on the other side was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted:

"The prince knew that the corpse was fake and that the young lady was not dead, so he used Miss Qing to force the young lady to show up. Miss Qing refused to speak, so the prince tortured her, saying that if the young lady did not show up one day, he would cut her body with a knife."

The man paused for a moment and asked cautiously:

"Sir, should we save this young lady Qing?"

Lin Kaiji thought for a while and said in a deep voice:

"Qingzhu is a loyal servant. She will definitely not reveal Zhaozhao's information. I am staying here because of Zhaozhao's matter and disobeying the emperor's order. This is already very risky. If your majesty knows about it, it may implicate the Lin family. Qingzhu is just a maid. If she is caught by the prince, it will be her death!"

"But if the young lady knew, would she..."

Before the man could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lin Kaiji:

"Don't let Zhao Zhao know about this, otherwise, you won't be able to keep your head anymore..."

Lin Zhaoyue, who was outside the courtyard, listened to the conversation between the two and clenched her fists.

Xiao Yan, you are so despicable!

Lin Zhaoyue's face turned cold and she turned and left the yard.

Seeing Lin Zhaoyue standing in the yard for a while and then coming back, Cuizhu asked in confusion:

"Why don't you go in, miss?"

"Brother is talking about something, please don't disturb me."

Lin Zhaoyue returned to her room, closed the door, and sat alone at the dressing table in a daze.

Qingzhu is like a sister to her.

Besides, she owed her two lives.

She needs to save people!

But what my eldest brother said was also right. He had returned to the capital because of the emperor's secret order and must have a mission to accomplish, but he stayed here because of her.

If the eldest brother's actions were discovered, the Lin family would inevitably be implicated.

She can only save people by herself.

A trace of contemplation flashed across her almond-shaped eyes, and Lin Zhaoyue picked up a pen and paper and wrote a letter.

When she left the yard, Cuizhu was surprised to see her holding a small package.

Miss, are you leaving?

"Miss, you..."

Before Cuizhu could finish her words, Lin Zhaoyue reached out and knocked her unconscious.

When she led the horse to the gate of the yard, she was stopped by the guards:

"Miss, the master has ordered that you cannot leave this courtyard until you are well again."

Lin Zhaoyue's eyes turned cold, and she lost her friendly expression from last time. She said in a cold voice:

"My eldest brother allowed me to go out. He is in the study. Why don't you go and ask him?"

The guard glanced at the study and hesitated.

"Go ahead and ask! I'll be waiting for you here. However, if my eldest brother finds out that you don't even listen to me, I can't control how he punishes you."

The guard thought of the way the young master punished people, fear flashed in his eyes, and he quickly let them go...

……

In the study, Lin Kaiji sat at the desk, rubbing the letter left by Lin Zhaoyue in his hand.

A man in black came in and reported:

"Sir, the young lady is riding a horse and heading towards the capital."

Lin Kaiji hummed, all his emotions were hidden in his dark eyes, and he only said lightly:

"withdraw."

Xiao Yan was too fast, otherwise he wouldn't be so anxious...

……

As soon as Lin Zhaoyue entered the capital, a white dove flew to the Eastern Palace.

Xiao Yan's jade-white hand held the note, and his perfectly shaped thin lips were slightly curled up.

Sure enough, she came anyway.

Zhaozhao, I've been waiting for you for a long time.
