Jiang Huan went from being furious at the beginning to being worried, and the change in his mood caught Ji Xingzhi off guard.
"What if Jiang Ling really loves Yu Wan..." Ji Xingzhi said.
Jiang Huan immediately rejected Ji Xingzhi's words without hesitation: "Impossible! No one knows better than me how much Jiang Ling loves his fiancée."
Ji Xingzhi opened her mouth and then slowly closed it. She felt that no matter what she said, Jiang Huan would deny it. She was too lazy to say anything. She pursed her lips and leaned against the wall to pretend to doze off. "I'm going to sleep for a while. Don't call me if you have anything to say."
After saying this, Ji Xingzhi fell into a deep sleep.
In fact, Ji Xingzhi was already very tired. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was at the end of her strength. The place in her abdomen where Shui Lianqing had hit her was still aching slightly and burning. If the dungeon was not so dark, one could clearly see how pale Ji Xingzhi's face was.
Jiang Huan nodded, walked to Ji Xingzhi and sat down. Seeing that Ji Xingzhi was not sleeping well, he reached out and pressed Ji Xingzhi's head on his shoulder. Then he felt that Ji Xingzhi would feel uncomfortable if she slept in this position for a long time. He hesitated for a moment and wanted to ask Ji Xingzhi to change her position, but he stopped as soon as he opened his mouth slightly.
Jiang Huan tilted his head slightly, looking down at the woman leaning on his shoulder. He didn't seem to know her name yet. He was clearly trying to tell her how extraordinary the people imprisoned here were, but why did he end up revealing his family background? If Jiang Ling knew he had told this strange woman all about his life, she would probably strangle him to death...
But on second thought, Jiang Huan felt relieved. If he was locked up here, Jiang Ling wouldn't know and wouldn't have the chance to strangle him.
Sighing secretly, Jiang Huan gently patted Ji Xingzhi's shoulder: "Hey, it will be uncomfortable for you to sleep like this. Lie down and I'll lend you my legs as a pillow."
Jiang Huan waited for a while, but there was no response from Ji Xingzhi. He couldn't help but frowned and reached out to shake Ji Xingzhi. Unexpectedly, he just pushed her lightly and Ji Xingzhi almost fell to the ground.
Jiang Huan quickly reached out to support Ji Xingzhi and felt Ji Xingzhi's pulse. This touch made Jiang Huan's face change suddenly, and he quickly used the only spiritual power that had remained in his body over the years to heal Ji Xingzhi.
Jiang Huan held Ji Xingzhi's hand and channeled spiritual energy into her while complaining, "You should be thankful you met me. There's no spiritual energy in this barrier. The little spiritual energy I have left in my body is what I used to save my life. Now I'm giving it all to you. Although I can't fully recover, it's about 70% better."
As he spoke, Jiang Huan couldn't help but sigh at his own greatness. He helped Ji Xingzhi lie on the ground and let Ji Xingzhi's head rest on his thigh. Seeing that Ji Xingzhi looked unconscious, Jiang Huan couldn't help but pout and said, "Tsk tsk, you dare to be so arrogant even after suffering such a serious injury. I really admire you."
After saying that, Jiang Huan shook his head and leaned against the wall, closing his eyes to rest.
At that time, Lizhou.
The once prosperous capital of Lizhou was now deserted. The entire imperial capital was dead silent. The people hid in their own houses, not daring to make any noise. They would be frightened by the slightest noise.
Inside the magnificent imperial palace, the huge Zhaosheng Hall was filled with people, all of whom were court officials and their wives.
The officials and their wives all looked very unhappy. The King of Southwest had even come to their doorstep, but the retired emperor didn't think about how to turn the defeat into victory. Instead, he "invited" them all into the palace, even their wives and daughters, and he even gave it the euphemism of catching up with the empress dowager.
