Yu Qianqian's face gradually turned ashen, but her bright eyes sparkled. Memories from ten years ago flashed through her mind. In her memory, they met for the first time. The handsome young man standing atop the snow-capped peak walked down to her. At that moment, she felt as if this young man was a god sent down from heaven to protect her. She could never erase that beautiful moment from her memory.
"Ah Chen, I wish I could go back ten years. If only we hadn't broken up back then..."
As soon as she finished speaking, her stiff limbs slowly slumped down, her vision blurred, and she felt her consciousness fading. She seemed to see Mu Beichen calling her name with tears in his eyes...
Mu Beichen forced a calm smile and said in a low voice, "Be good, let's talk about this when we get home."
The severed limb on his left side prevented him from lifting Yu Qianqian up smoothly, so he had to lean his body and use the strength of his right arm to pull her into his arms. He staggered forward step by step.
However, until this moment, no one noticed Su Yu standing to the side, watching the two walk further and further away. His handsome face had lost its color, and he felt a heart-wrenching pain suddenly enter his body. Then, blood gushed out and sprayed out of his mouth. His whole body immediately lost its balance and fell straight down.
Seeing Yu Qianqian pierced by a poisoned arrow, her life hanging in the balance, Su Yu was overcome with anxiety, causing his old illness to relapse. He is now in danger of dying at any moment.
The soldiers rushed forward to help Su Yu up and placed him on a support frame. The entire army then retreated from the territory of the Northern You Kingdom.
Upon returning from the battlefield, Mu Zixuan followed Mu Beichen directly to the Jing Prince's Mansion. In order to save Yu Qianqian, the two searched for famous doctors throughout the capital city, working tirelessly for two whole days. Finally, they found several renowned doctors that people talked about.
That day, the entire Prince Jing's mansion was in a flurry of activity. Physicians, maids, and the young mistresses of each courtyard were all busy in and out of Feiyu Courtyard from dawn till late at night. By the time everyone was exhausted and could barely breathe, everyone except Mu Beichen and the physician who was treating Yu Qianqian for arrow poisoning had finally rested.
The physician examined Yu Qianqian's pulse through the gauze curtain in front of the bed. After a slight hesitation, he said slowly, "This arrow was contaminated with a very rare poison. It wouldn't have been fatal originally, but because too much time has passed, the poison has penetrated deep into her lungs and internal organs. Now, I'm afraid we'll need her heart's blood as a medicinal guide."
"..."
Staring intently at Yu Qianqian, Mu Beichen took out a red dagger without hesitation. He was about to stab it into his chest when the physician suddenly stepped forward and stopped him.
"Your Highness, please be extremely careful. This heart's blood must be inserted three inches deep into the heart to be removed. If you are not careful, it could very well..."
Before the words had even finished, Mu Beichen ripped open his clothes with a knife, the blade piercing his heart with pinpoint accuracy. Bright red liquid slowly flowed from the wound, continuing until it reached almost half a bowl before gradually stopping.
After the blood was drawn, Mu Beichen suddenly felt dizzy. The hand holding the medicine trembled a few times, and he almost stumbled and fell to the ground. Fortunately, the physician caught him in time, and he was able to walk to the bedside smoothly.
Seeing the entire medicinal ingredient fed into Yu Qianqian's mouth, Mu Beichen's heart finally settled down. Then, staring at Yu Qianqian, he suddenly changed his mind, slowly straightened up, and solemnly said, "Dear physicians, I have one more thing to ask for your help with. Please make sure to convey the news of Yu Qianqian's death by poisoning to the palace."
He gave a signal and ordered his servants to bring up three trays full of gold ingots, which were then handed to the physician.
