At the same time, Meng Fulin was anxiously waiting outside the door. Hearing the noise inside, he became flustered and hurriedly pushed the door open and rushed in.
However……
The moment he burst through the door without a second thought, he saw Yu Qianqian lying unconscious on the ground. At that glance, he panicked even more and involuntarily cried out, "Qianqian!"
Without a second thought, he swiftly scooped the woman from the ground and placed her on the bed in the palace, desperately calling out to her, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Please wake up! Don't frighten this servant!"
Upon hearing the shouts, the palace maids and guards who had been ordered to stand guard outside rushed in all at once. But before they could even speak, Meng Fulin exclaimed in surprise from the other side.
"Quickly...quickly go and ask the Emperor to summon the imperial physician! Her Majesty the Empress has suddenly fallen ill. If this matter is ruined, none of us can bear the responsibility!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone who saw this dared not utter another word and dashed out to find the person.
Meng Fulin watched as everyone left, then tilted his head slightly and looked out the window. He saw that the man he was hoping for, or perhaps desperately didn't want to be there, was still nowhere in sight.
The woman, curled up in a small ball on the bed, suddenly looked up at Meng Fulin and slowly said, "Meng Fulin... am I about to die?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Fulin quickly gathered his scattered thoughts, let out a soft breath, and immediately turned his gaze to Yu Qianqian. His clear, watery eyes curved into crescent moons as he smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, you will not die. This servant has already sent them to Luochen Palace. His Majesty will definitely come..."
He stood with his hands clasped in front of the bed, gazing at Yu Qianqian intently for a long while before continuing the conversation, saying, "As long as this servant is here, I will protect Your Majesty even at the cost of my life, and will not allow any mishap to happen to you."
Meng Fulin's gaze was gentle and tender, and Yu Qianqian always felt comfortable when she saw it. Especially after hearing these words, she felt a warmth in her heart for no reason.
For some inexplicable reason, the fear seemed to dissipate like smoke. For some inexplicable reason, for a moment, the little eunuch seemed like a dazzling ray of light, illuminating all the darkness in his life.
But……
In the end, he was nothing more than a minor eunuch, an insignificant passerby.
Yu Qianqian faced the window, gazing blankly for a moment, but did not see the person she was looking forward to. As time passed, her consciousness became increasingly blurred, and her eyelids closed heavily. She was deep in a dream when she suddenly felt as if her cold hands were being tightly wrapped by something, gentle and warm.
When Meng Fulin saw that she had fainted, he carefully sat down on the edge of the bed, lowered his head, and anxiously looked at her haggard appearance. He didn't even dare to breathe loudly, for fear that he might accidentally wake the little person next to him.
"Yu Qianqian, Qianqian..."
Meng Fulin noticed that Yu Qianqian's hands were getting colder and colder. In his dazed state, he called out her name again! But this time, he didn't even realize it himself, or rather, he no longer cared about such things.
Ever since witnessing Yu Qianqian being picked up by Mu Beichen on the street, Su Yu has followed closely behind. Later, in order to take better care of her, she sneaked into the Imperial Household Department overnight, disguised herself as someone else, and gradually infiltrated the Phoenix Palace. All of this was for the person she cared about.
For so long, he had fooled everyone with his superb acting skills. Even someone as shrewd as Mu Beichen hadn't noticed the hidden truth. But he was the only one who couldn't deceive himself when he encountered any emotional changes in Yu Qianqian. So he always carefully pretended while paying attention to her feelings, always being so cautious.
As time passed, Yu Qianqian still showed no signs of waking up. Then, in a hazy, unconscious state, she tightly gripped Su Yu's clothes with both hands, while muttering to herself restlessly.
"Mu Beichen... Yu Qianqian can't live without you."
"Please don't go..."
Her voice was very soft and her words were unclear, so Su Yu couldn't hear her clearly. He lowered his head even further and put his ear to her lips, but in the end he could only vaguely hear her softly call out the three words "Mu Beichen".
Looking closely at her chaotic emotions, the name Mu Beichen suddenly felt like a huge rock pressing on his heart, impossible to shake off.
My heart aches so much...
It turns out that no matter how many times she started over, the person who entered her heart was never her.
It turns out that Su Yu can only be Su Yu, and will never be Yu Qianqian's man.
He closed his eyes in sorrow, then slowly opened them again. In that instant, he saw that Yu Qianqian's palm was covered with dense, dark marks, like an inky black spider web, which were merging into her skin at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye!
"Oh no! The Gu poison has taken effect!" Su Yu suddenly exclaimed, his face filled with panic!
Based on his years of experience in medicine, Yu Qianqian's condition was clearly due to extreme cold poison. At present, the only way to expel the cold was to use pure yang energy. In other words, this method involved sexual intercourse between a man and a woman, and the enjoyment of marital bliss.
Even though they had been husband and wife in name, it was never true. No matter how much he liked Yu Qianqian, he never had the courage to cross that last line. He was afraid that if she woke up and found out what had happened, she would hate him.
After all, he knew very well in his heart that the person Yu Qianqian loved had never been him, but Mu Beichen...
So, Su Yu quickly changed his mind and grabbed a dagger from the table. He gripped it tightly in his hand and, without even thinking, aimed the blade at his other wrist. A flash of cold light passed before his eyes.
After a long while, a thin, long bloodstain was seen where the dagger had struck, and blood flowed slowly down the wound like a hidden spring.
Su Yu endured the pain, holding the cup in one hand and squeezing the wound with the other to make the blood flow more smoothly. In no time, she had filled a cup with bright red liquid that smelled of blood.
Su Yu carried the medicine to Yu Qianqian step by step. When she was close to the bed, she sat down on the edge, holding a cup in one hand and a spoon in the other. She carefully pried open Yu Qianqian's tightly pursed lips and fed her small spoonfuls of medicine.
His movements were extremely gentle, as if he were afraid of accidentally waking the little one.
After being given a cup of medicine, Su Yu felt dizzy and almost fainted on the bed.
Suppressing his consciousness, Su Yu held onto the edge of the bed and slowly sat up. It took him a while to calm himself down. Just as he was about to lean against the wall to recuperate, he heard hurried footsteps outside.
