Chapter 442 Blood Nourishing
William Bryan thought she was going to commit suicide. He frowned subconsciously, got up and tried to dissuade him. What did he think of? He stood on the ground and stared at Fiona without expression and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Fiona's face was already very pale. She was already pale, and after bleeding, she was even uglier as if she were going to feather at any time.
When she heard his words, she glanced at him and smiled. This smile was very fragile. "Bauhinia needs to be nourished with my blood. I will give you my blood to feed Bauhinia."
"Blood?" William Bryan's eyes fell on her wrist, and the blood vessels were clearly visible under her fair skin. He frowned slightly and said, "I don't know."
Fiona thought he was blaming himself. She smiled weakly and her smile was pale. "You don't have to blame yourself. My life has not belonged to me since I was born. I am not without trying to resist fate, but it is useless... I have already prepared to die."
William Bryan crept his lips and tried to say something, but he gave up after all.
Fiona took the blood from a bottle to half a bottle, and then slowly took out the medicine cabinet from the cupboard to stop bleeding and bandage herself. Her movements were skillful and calm, as if she had done it countless times.
"Thank you." William Bryan nodded and whispered thanks, trying not to let her eyes fall on her bloody wrists and pale face.
Fiona, while dressing up, saw that William Bryan didn't mean to leave yet. She glanced at him and asked, "Don't you go yet? Although you are very good, if you don't go again, it won't be easy to leave."
William Bryan got up to go, thought for a moment, and finally asked aloud: "What happened to the Bauhinia tree, and why did the once leafy tree become so bare now?"
Fiona smiled slowly. "I knew you would ask me. I thought you weren't curious when you were silent before."
She sighed, and her eyes fell far out through the glass window on the bauhinia tree, and her expression became complicated when she saw the bare branches.
"There are no branches and leaves, but they are all lies to the outside world. This tree is originally evil. It has always relied on my blood to grow Bauhinia. Originally, I was ignorant of the world and lived in this small villa. Living a carefree life every day, there is no opinion about this."
Said Fiona, paused, healed the wound on her hand, put her things back, sat by and continued, "But it was not until one time three years ago that I accidentally left here and saw the outside world."
"The outside world is really different from here. I just realized that I was wrong all the time, I also met him... After he knew that my life was unhappy, he agreed to take me away, and also said to take me to a place where no one could find us and live an ordinary life. At that time, we all thought that we would have a future, but my identity allowed me to have such extravagance. "
Fiona said this, her eyes were already covered with misty tears.
She recalled every bit of happiness in the past, knowing that she couldn't go back after all, but the sad mood lingered in her mind all the time.
If only she were not the princess of Yongle Island, she thought, or if the Bauhinia tree didn't need her blood to nourish it, then perhaps her pressure would be less, and the king wouldn't have to bind her to this place.
William Bryan listened to her talk a lot, and although he was so sad to see her, he didn't have much empathy.
He just sighed slightly and asked, "What is the reason why the Bauhinia tree needs your blood to nourish it?"
"I don't know. I have lived here since I can remember. Every month the king regularly draws blood from me, and then the bauhinia tree will bloom for a short time." Fiona said, sighing: "But since last month, the doctor said that my body can no longer support so much blood being taken away, so..."
"So what?"
"So I have lost my value, and the King intends to give me to that man for marriage, in order to consolidate his position."
Fiona smiled at this, and her smile was somewhat fragile.
William Bryan was silent. For a long time, he asked, "That ruby necklace..."
"That necklace is my only certainty," Fiona said. "As long as there is a necklace, the king will not dare to do anything to me for the time being."
"That's why." William Bryan nodded.
Fiona put away her emotions and said to Bai Muyan: "I am very grateful to you for helping me with this favor. You should take these blood to water the Bauhinia tree. When you get the Bauhinia, you should leave here quickly."
When William Bryan heard this, he frowned and said, "Won't the Bauhinia tree bloom and attract the king's attention?"
"There is only such a little blood, it doesn't matter, there is no way to blossom all over the tree, as long as there is even a bauhinia, it is enough." Fiona explained.
William Bryan nodded, finally thanked again, pushed open the villa door and left.
He came to the Bauhinia tree, found a relatively remote corner, and sprinkled Fiona's blood in it. He thought it would take a long time to react, but who knew that just after sprinkling the blood into the soil, a magical scene happened.
In the lower position of the tree, there are actually small flowers, and there is nothing special about the shape, but the color is very gorgeous, showing a slight Yin red.
William Bryan plucked the flowers quickly.
Fiona is right. So little blood is not enough to make the whole tree blossom. Bauhinia blossoms slowly and then there is no response.
He took the flowers and left the cottage quickly.
When he returned to the residence of the palace, he pushed open the door and saw Xu Tengfei greet him with anxiety on his face: "My young master, you are back. If you don't come back, the king will doubt me."
William Bryan gave a "hmm" and went to the side and sat down.
"Don't talk, how's it going? Did you get it?" Xu Tengfei hurriedly asked.
William Bryan nodded and finally spoke: "I got it, I can go."
Xu Tengfei skimmed his lips. "Then you have to say hello to the king before you go."
"By the way," said Baimuyan, "how much do you know about Princess Fiona?"
"Why do you suddenly ask this? Do you meet this rumored princess?" Xu Tengfei stared slightly.
William Bryan nodded again.
"This princess, I just heard of such a person, but it is said that she lives in seclusion and few people have seen it." Xu Tengfei rubbed his chin and said.
