Our Binding Love: My Gentle Tyrant-Chapter 374

Saved

Ye Mu skeptically looked at it, and then that snake’s ice-cold expression looked at her fixedly. She withdrew her hand. Blood streamed down her arm, but her arm was still intact.

Whether this snake really had the character of a human, or that after tasting her blood it knew that there was residual poison, at any rate, this snake didn’t eat her. So, what was she waiting for?

Ye Mu stared at it. Cautiously and carefully, she planned to bypass its body. At that moment, her breathing was still, afraid she would suddenly alarm this snake and it would launch an attack.

But luckily, she stepped past its tail. It didn’t move at all. Ye Mu first walked several steps, before running wildly with full strength, the hope in her heart getting bigger and bigger!

Even the snake let her pass, so this meant Mo Linyuan wasn’t meant to die. He would definitely live, definitely!

At this moment, Mo Linyuan finally opened his eyes.

His eyes floated with death qi. Even if he had sucked Ye Mu’s internal energy and his strength right now was very powerful, he himself felt hopeless from being saved because of the excessive loss of blood, in addition to the poison attacking his heart.

So, when he saw the excitement in the eyes of the people around, he only asked in a hoarse voice, “Where’s Xiao Mu-er?”

One of the imperial physicians rubbed his tears away. “Ye-xiaojie went to find an antidote for you.”

“What?!” Mo Linyuan was startled and immediately wanted to get up, but as soon as he moved, he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. A strange kind of silver color appeared on his face, the trace of green in his eyelids growing thicker!

Ye Xiaolang quickly restrained him. “Don’t move!” He loudly said, “Ye Mu will be alright.”

Seeing Mo Linyuan still agitated, he said, “There are Wen Feng and the others protecting her below, so she’ll be alright! But—”

There might not be enough time for her to come back and see you one last time.

Ye Xiaolang did not finish his words. Mo Linyuan then immediately understood his plight. He looked at the silver needles on him, and understood that he was treated with acupuncture to briefly regain consciousness. The time left for him was not long.

He held down the violent pain in his chest, and hoarsely said.

“Ink, propose decree.”

Knowing this maybe was a will, the imperial physicians hurriedly prepared. During the whole process, sadness seeped through the tent.

“Your Majesty, it’s been grinded.”

Mo Linyuan’s breathing at this moment was more and more rapid. He panted as he said, “Pass on this sovereign’s* decree, after this sovereign passes away, Ye Mu will succeed the throne, and Ye Xiaolang will assist her, Prime Minister as the Acting Emperor**”

*this sovereign = I, a form of address Mo Linyuan uses to refer to himself. I thought it’d be better to change to “this sovereign” so it’s closer to the meaning.

**顾命大臣 (gu ming da chen) is someone whom the emperor trusts to govern the country before his death.

He spat out blood once more after saying this, and the physicians deliberated his words, holding back the shock in their hearts as they wrote down Mo Linyuan’s words.

So after His Majesty dies, an empress will emerge in Mo Country? Can she convince the public? Will there be a round of carnage?

Mo Linyuan lay on the bed, slowly closing his eyes. In the end, he hoarsely said to Ye Xiaolang.

“This sovereign has been with her for a long time, you have to take good care of her.”

At this moment, his heart was flooded by intense regret. Before his death, he actually couldn’t see Ye Mu one last time. Was this the will of Heaven?

But he was also glad Ye Mu didn’t see him like this. He definitely looked unappealing.

Ye Xiaolang’s eyes were red. “Don’t worry, Your Majesty, xiaojie has always been my most important person, I will take good care of her!”

“I don’t want anyone!” Suddenly, the tent’s curtains were thrown aside. Ye Mu’s body was covered with blood as she rushed in.

When Mo Linyuan heard her voice, he abruptly opened his eyes to look at her. At that moment, his heart tightened. He actually could see her one last time!

Ye Mu’s body was in a mess. After she walked in, she looked at Mo Linyuan as she said, “I don’t want anyone else, I only want you!”

Mo Linyuan forced a smile. Just when he wanted to bid farewell, Ye Mu suddenly lowered her head and kissed his lips. A pellet of medicine passed through. Mo Linyuan widened his eyes. Could it be, this was an antidote?

After the kiss, Ye Mu pallidly looked at him, smiling.

“If you die, I’ll accompany you. If you live, I’ll live. I came here for you.”

After she finished, she couldn’t resist the darkness before her anymore, and suddenly passed out. Before she went unconscious, she could hear the cries of the people next to her, but whose voices those were, she couldn’t tell.

Poisoned, internal energy sucked away, risks undertaken again, then ran wildly, her strength had long been exhausted. Being able to persist and run back all relied on her willpower. So she was fatigued, as though the moment she slept, she wouldn’t wake up.

After two days, when Ye Mu awoke, she suddenly shot up to a sitting position! The moment she saw Ye Xiaolang when she got up, she was immediately startled.

“Where’s Mo Linyuan?” Her voice was hoarse when she asked.

Ye Xiaolang didn’t expect Ye Mu to suddenly awaken with a start, making him jump with fright. But he instantly revealed a sad expression. “You came back a little too late. Even if the antidote was taken, because he had excessive loss of blood, he was already—”

Ye Mu listened, and her whole body froze. She stared blankly at Ye Xiaolang, before finding her voice after a long time.

“So he died?”

Ye Xiaolang looked at Ye Mu’s face that was too calm, and felt somewhat strange. He then continued to tease her, “Yeah, he—couldn’t survive.”

This time, before Ye Xiaolang finished speaking, he saw Ye Mu hugging the quilt. The tears tumbling down looked like broken pearls.

“He died? He died?!”

Ye Xiaolang was immediately flustered. Just as he wanted to explain, someone hurried in. “Mu-Mu!”

Ye Mu froze, and then was pulled into Mo Linyuan’s embrace.

Ye Xiaolang was afraid of being beaten and hurriedly went out, while Mo Linyuan held Ye Mu tightly. Ye Mu looked at him, her tears still dropping, her expression somewhat incredulous.

“You didn’t die?”

Mo Linyuan now really wanted to grab Ye Xiaolang and mercilessly beat him. He looked at Ye Mu’s eyes that wouldn’t stop flowing with tears. He released her, wiping them with his hands.

“You even gave up your life for me, how could I die? Mu-Mu, don’t be scared, I’m fine.”

Ye Mu’s small hands were on his chest. Her face looked like a small rabbit, her eyes and nose red. She stared at him. “You’re really fine? You’re truly okay?”

Seeing Ye Mu this scared, Mo Linyuan cursed at Ye Xialong a hundred times in his heart. He only went out for a while and came back to hear Ye Xiaolang saying he died, scaring Xiao Mu-er to the point that she was this badly shaken. He had never seen Ye Mu cry so miserably.

“I’m fine, I’m absolutely fine. I can take off my clothes and let you check.”

Hearing Mo Linyuan say this, Ye Mu suddenly fell into his embrace, tightly hugging him!

“I thought you died.”

“Ye Xiaolang lied to you.”

“No.” Ye Mu choked with sobs. “I dreamed, dreamed that you died, and then was startled awake.”

Mo Linyuan hugged her, gently patting her back.

“That’s right, I died.”

“Then you—” Ye Mu was instantly flustered, but was tightly embraced by Mo Linyuan.

“But since the King of Hell saw that you acted recklessly because of me, he didn’t have the heart to let you live alone, so, he mercifully let me come back.”
