Chapter 160 Never again
Gu Yunling hadn't expected this to happen, but when she thought of Gu Lin's actions, she cursed fiercely, "He deserves it."
Gu Yunling said this, then flicked his sleeves and got on the carriage.

Jiang Xiyu caught a cold and felt drowsy after taking the medicine. She didn't even eat a few bites of the medicinal food prepared by Nanny Yu. She spent most of the day in a deep sleep.
At night, Jiang Xiyu ate something and fell into a deep sleep without even taking a shower.
Gulin was very worried about Jiang Xiyu and wanted to go next door to see her, but the assassins outside Jingyuyuan gave him a headache.
Gulin thought about it and called Wuyi over, giving him a secret mission.
Late at night, the masked man appeared in Jingyuyuan again.
When the leader of the Golden Guards saw that the masked man not only came alone this time but also brought a group of black-clad secret guards, he immediately felt like he was facing a formidable enemy and immediately ordered the Golden Guards to fight the masked man.
Originally, the leader of the Golden Guards still did not take action, but this time the opponents were too numerous. Although Deji strengthened the guards of Jingyu Garden, it was still in danger.
The leader of the Golden Guards no longer cared about guarding Jiang Xiyu, and hurried forward to help the Golden Guards fight against the black-clad secret guards.
The masked man in the lead narrowed his eyes suddenly when he saw how skilled these assassins were.
I didn't expect that in order to guard against the prince, Xu Rui actually arranged for death squads to guard Jiang Xiyu. No wonder Gulin arranged for them to come together today.
In order to better help Gulin complete the task, Wuyi fought even harder against those assassins.
While the two sides were fighting fiercely, Gulin took the opportunity to sneak into the main house wearing a mask.
Because Jiang Xiyu was sick, Qing'er was guarding outside.
Gulin walked to Qing'er and pressed her sleeping point first.
Qing'er immediately fell asleep without realizing it.
Gulin tiptoed to the bedside and lifted the gauze curtain.
On the bed, Jiang Xiyu was sleeping soundly. Perhaps because of her illness, her face was abnormally flushed.
Gulin reached out and covered her forehead with his hand with concern. There was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, but she didn't have a high fever.
It seems that her fever has subsided after taking the medicine, but she is sweating so much that her condition may worsen tomorrow.
Gulin took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead bit by bit. After wiping her forehead, he took her hand and continued to wipe the sweat for her.
I don’t know if it’s because the medicine she took is helping to reduce her fever, but she’s covered in sweat.
Gulin didn't dare to wipe other places, so he just rolled up her sleeves and wiped the sweat off her arms bit by bit.
But as he rubbed it, Gulin finally felt something was wrong.
He looked at Jiang Xiyu's arm, which was as white and tender as a lotus root, in shock. There used to be a bright red toad's blood in the center of the arm, but now it was empty. There was nothing left, only the smooth and white arm.
Gulin wiped it gently with a handkerchief in disbelief, but nothing else happened except that the white arm turned pink.
Gulin seemed to not believe it again and rolled up her other sleeve. Her arm was still smooth and white with nothing on it.
In an instant, Gulin's heart felt like it was stabbed with a knife, and the pain was so severe that he even stopped breathing.
Xu Rui knew what he was thinking, so he couldn't wait to consummate his marriage with Jiang Xiyu.
damn it.
This was something that should have happened a long time ago and should have been a natural process, but Gulin simply couldn't accept it at this moment. It was as if her heart, which was filled with her, was suddenly cut open.
Gulin, immersed in extreme pain, did not notice that Jiang Xiyu slowly opened his eyes.
Suddenly seeing a man wearing a silver mask sitting in front of him, he was instantly frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. He said in a hoarse voice, "It's you."
Jiang Xiyu immediately wanted to get up and call for help, but she was so weak that she couldn't move at all.
Gulin didn't expect Jiang Xiyu to wake up suddenly. He was also startled and hurriedly covered her mouth with his hands.
Under her horrified gaze, Gulin loosened his grip a little and explained in a low voice, "Don't worry, I just came to see you. I won't do anything to you. Also, I won't tell anyone your secret."
When Jiang Xiyu heard him mention her secret, she instantly became alert.
Seeing this, Gulin raised his hand and swore again, "Everything I said is true. I have never mentioned your secret to anyone, and I will never mention it to anyone in the future."
Then, Gulin explained himself, "I didn't mean to flirt with you last time. I wanted to understand why you drugged me. I won't do that again."
Jiang Xiyu opened her eyes wide and stared at the masked man in front of her without blinking.
Although she couldn't see his face, she could still feel his sincerity.
Jiang Xiyu raised her chin and signaled Gulin to let go.
Seeing this, Gulin immediately let go of Jiang Xiyu.
After being untied, Jiang Xiyu breathed a sigh of relief. She then stared at the masked man and asked warily, "Who are you? Why do you appear beside me again and again?"
Gulin looked at her with a complicated expression. After a few seconds of silence, he didn't directly answer her question. "I was recuperating in the hot springs at the time. I didn't expect you to show up there, so I didn't intend to offend you."
His words made Jiang Xiyu suddenly think of the scene in the hot spring at that time.
His face suddenly turned red.
The night was dark, and Gulin didn't notice anything. He continued to explain, "After that, I found that my injuries had improved. I thought it might be related to you, so I found you again, but I found you trapped in a sea of fire."
Jiang Xiyu married someone who was locked up in the ancestral hall. It turned out that the man was him.
If it weren't for his appearance, she might have really died in the fire.
"And the time when your husband was here, I also offended him even when I had no choice."
Speaking of this, Gulin's face under the mask turned red with guilt.
Jiang Xiyu thought of the scene at that time and looked at the masked man in front of her in shock.
"You know I have a husband, why do you keep harassing me?" Jiang Xiyu questioned him angrily.
Gulin was speechless in response to her question, and a look of loss unconsciously appeared in his eyes.
After a few seconds of silence, he said with self-mockery, "Maybe it's because your blood can heal my injuries."
This is the only reason he can say now.
If I tell her that I like her, it will definitely scare her, and that's not what I want.
Jiang Xiyu's face changed drastically when he said this, and she asked nervously, "You want my blood?"
Seeing that she was starting to get scared of him again, thinking he was going to hurt her, Gulin's heart ached, and he immediately said, "Not entirely. As long as you don't want me to, I will never take your blood again. I came here today simply to see you."
Jiang Xiyu stared at the man carefully for a long time. His eyes were full of sincerity and he didn't look like he was lying.
But she was still wary of him. After all, now that he knew her secret, it was like he was holding her life in his hands. How could she let her guard down so easily?
Jiang Xiyu suddenly came close to him, stared into his eyes, and said seriously, "Tell me who you are, and I will believe you."
