Following the trail of blood, he walked for about half an incense stick's time before suddenly stopping, his body stiffening and frozen in place.

Beyond the bloodstains lay Su Luo, dressed in red.

Ye Beihan felt a lump in his throat, as if something was blocking his throat, making it difficult for him to breathe.

He hurriedly walked to Su Luo's side, knelt down, and hugged her in his arms.

He shook Su Luo's shoulders with both hands, not daring to check her breathing.

Su Luo had several blisters on her face, caused by the blood of the shattered Silver Silkworm.

With trembling hands, Ye Beihan used a hairpin to cut his palm, then held Su Luo and let his blood drip into her mouth.

After half an incense stick's time, seeing that the redness and swelling on Su Luo's body had subsided considerably, he carried Su Luo out of the underground palace.

Su Luo was poisoned by the Corpse-Shattering Silver Silkworm. This poison wouldn't kill Su Luo immediately; it would initially cause her whole body to feel hot, as if it were on fire.

This damages muscle growth, and without an antidote, the body will rot and die within two days.

Even if he were saved at that time, his skin would revert to what it was before Shuangshuo.

As he rushed out of the underground palace, Ye Beihan shouted at his subordinates.

"Prepare the carriage; we're going to the imperial palace..."

Ye Yueze followed Ye Beihan's footsteps, his eyes filled with worry.

"Brother, is the Deputy Minister of Agriculture alright? Should we have the imperial physician take a look?"

Su Luo is poisoned, and the imperial physician can't cure her. Ye Beihan carried Su Luo onto the carriage before turning back to his younger brother and saying this.

"Your Majesty, you've grown up!"

These words were quite meaningful, and Ye Yueze suddenly felt that the distance between him and his brother had become very far.

"Guards, convey my decree: Anyone who dares to spread rumors about what happened today will be executed without mercy..."

"It's Your Majesty!"

Today is the Regent's wedding day, and almost all the officials and their families of Northern Liang are in the palace.

Everyone remained silent, not daring to speak, until His Majesty's imperial edict was issued. Only then did all the officials clasp their hands and speak in unison.

"Your Majesty's decree will be obeyed."

...

The palace was filled with the smell of medicine, and Ye Beihan had lost track of time inside. He didn't know how much time had passed.

The glamorous appearance of the past was gone; all that remained was a person dressed in black, with messy hair and a full beard.

"Su Luo, you are the most troublesome woman I have ever met in my life. Why are you still not awake?"

In just ten days, Ye Beihan looked ten years older, feeding the unconscious Su Luo medicine while muttering to himself with heartache.

"It's better if you don't wake up, that way you'll belong to me forever. You're so obedient like this..."

"Drink your medicine. After you finish, I'll take you to see the hibiscus flowers. The hibiscus flowers that change color are just like you, ever-changing."

When Su Luo was conscious, she felt nothing in her body. When she opened her eyes, she found herself in a space.

"What's going on? Wasn't I dead? How come I'm lying in my own space?"

She got up to look outside, only to see Ye Beihan pushing someone who looked exactly like her to admire the flowers.

That person is herself, it's her body.

No... it should be said that it was the original owner Su Luo's body. She was originally a soul, and now she has separated from Su Luo.

"What happened? How did it turn out like this?"

Su Luo wanted to break out of the space and merge her soul with Su Luo's body, but she was bounced back as soon as she tried to go out.

The space she used to enter and exit was now like an invisible barrier, preventing her from breaking through no matter how hard she tried.

Su Luo looked at her hands and tried again and again, but each time ended in failure.

Exhausted, she sat in the space, and the repeated failures made it clear to her that she could not get out of this space.

She looked outside helplessly. Ye Beihan's eyes were filled with a smile, yet also with sorrow. His hands were bandaged, and bloodstains were visible.

He picked one or two hibiscus flowers and placed them in Su Luo's hand, then leaned against the wheelchair where Su Luo was sitting.

Su Luo could see and hear everything he did within the space.

He looked up at Su Luo's face and said, "Su Luo, you are so cruel. I know you remember everything, yet I am still willing to marry you."

Even if your attitude towards me is feigned, I still feel happy.

That kind of happiness, even if it's only a tiny fraction, I would desperately try to grasp it. But you… if you had even a sliver of pity for me, all of this would have been worthwhile.”

Su Luo frowned. So it was Ye Beihan who saved her. He actually saved her?

In Su Luo's heart, Ye Beihan did have a little bit of affection for her.

However, she believed that Ye Beihan married her more for her abilities and to get revenge on Nangong Chiyu.

Su Luo frowned so deeply that even her physical body creased slightly.

Upon seeing this, Ye Beihan's face lit up with joy: "Su Luo, Su Luo..."

Is Su Luo about to wake up?

He was overjoyed: "Su Luo, wake up! As long as you can wake up, I will never force you again, never force you again..."

He waited for a long time, but it still didn't go as he wished.

Su Luo only reacted for a moment before falling asleep again.

"Why……"

Su Luo was trapped in the space. She wanted to get out. She still had too many things to do and too many things to worry about.

I wonder if Lian'er delivered the poisoned blood to Chi Yi, and I wonder how Nangong Chiyu is doing now, whether he has been cured of the poison.

Can she still get out? Looking at the person outside, now in a vegetative state, the fact that her physical body hasn't died means she still has a chance to go back.

Ye Beihan treated her very well, and he applied medicine to all the blisters on her body.

The body wasn't rotting either. Wasn't it said that the poison of the Dismembered Silver Silkworm was incurable?

As Ye Beihan pushed her back to the palace, Su Luo was pleasantly surprised to find that her gaze could follow the movement of her body.

She saw the dazzling array of medicinal herbs in the palace, and Ye Beihan using his own blood to make medicine for Su Luo.

"So Ye Beihan's blood can alleviate the poison of the Shattered Corpse Silver Silkworm!"

Judging from the reaction of her skin color, Su Luo knew that the poison in her body had not been completely neutralized, but Ye Beihan did not let her body rot like Shuang Shuo.

"Report... Your Highness, the deputy envoy has found the body."

A guard came in and reported to Ye Beihan that they had dug through the underground palace before finding Shuang Shuo's body.

Several other brothers also accidentally came into contact with the poisonous blood and have died.

"Let him rest in peace."

"yes!"

Out of consideration for the hardships they had endured together since childhood, Ye Beihan gave Shuang Shuo a dignified treatment.

But she was also angry with him. Shuang Shuo had killed her and hurt the woman he loved most.

"Your Highness, I have another matter to report. His Majesty sent someone to the palace to say that the border of Northern Liang has been breached by Nanning, and the commander is Prince Yu of Nanning..."

When Su Luo heard the news in the space, her body trembled. Nangong Chiyu was cured. He was finally cured.

"That's great!" Su Luo wanted to cry, but found that she couldn't shed any tears.
