Hua Mancheng and Yu Qianqian successfully brought back the antidote from the Regent's Palace overnight. As soon as they arrived at the Jing Prince's Palace, they immediately fed the antidote to Mu Beichen.
Not long after, the antidote indeed took effect, and Mu Beichen's complexion began to gradually improve.
As dawn broke, only half a candle remained on the candlestick near the window. The lily-shaped glass lamp cast a dim candlelight, illuminating the room in a hazy, dreamlike state.
The others had already gone back to sleep, and only Yu Qianqian remained in the room, staying by Mu Beichen's side.
With one hand supporting her cheek, she gazed at the handsome man on the couch, her eyes growing increasingly unfocused, until she unconsciously closed them.
Just as Yu Qianqian was drifting off to sleep, she vaguely felt her face being enveloped by a large hand. Startled, her instinctive vigilance compelled her to leap from beside the bed and, without even looking, instantly retreated three zhang away.
With her pupils dilated, she immediately saw the man's exquisite face. At that moment, they stared at each other, both of them involuntarily frozen in place, unable to utter a word.
Before she could speak, her vision blurred, and a faint light shimmered in Yu Qianqian's clear and bright almond-shaped eyes.
Although she knew that Mu Beichen would wake up sooner or later after taking the antidote, she inexplicably lost her mind at this moment, and all sorts of mixed emotions surged up in her heart.
Seeing Mu Beichen walking towards her, she quickly ran ahead of him, stopping just centimeters away. She suddenly paused and whispered, "Achen..."
Hearing the voice, Mu Beichen turned to look at her. A wave of emotion welled up in his beautiful peach blossom eyes. Before he could speak, he used his intact right hand to pull her into his arms and whispered from the bottom of his heart, "Ajin, ever since you disappeared, I have dreamed of you every day. I am so afraid that when I wake up, it will be just another empty dream."
"I..." Yu Qianqian was about to reach out and hug him when she suddenly grabbed his empty left sleeve. She was slightly startled and immediately exclaimed, "Achen! Where's your arm!"
At this point, she suddenly recalled the scenes that had happened at Blackwater Cliff, the scene of him severing his arm with his sword in front of her, the scene of her being abandoned by him, and the scene of her nearly falling to her death. All of these things were as clear as yesterday.
Suddenly, I felt a heart-wrenching pain, and the scalding tears finally dripped down my cheeks.
“Ah Jin…”
Mu Beichen bent down beside her, and seeing her crying uncontrollably because of him, he tremblingly extended his five fingers. Before his hand could even touch her shoulder, his vision blurred. "Ajin, it's all my fault..."
"Of course it's your fault!" Yu Qianqian suddenly roared, interrupting the unfinished words. She turned to face the window and glanced coldly at Mu Beichen, her eyes indifferent and unfamiliar.
"If it weren't for the bad romances you had with others, how could I have been ambushed by Mu Feiyu and fallen off a cliff?"
Mu Beichen stared at her blankly, frozen in place, unable to utter a word.
"And another thing, if Su Yu hadn't come to my rescue in time, I would probably be dead by now. How dare you cause trouble at someone's wedding, Mu Beichen, you are truly heartless!"
Yu Qianqian stared blankly at the man with eyes full of affection, getting angrier and angrier. Aiming at Mu Beichen's face, she slapped him hard with two slaps in quick succession, leaving Mu Beichen completely bewildered.
