He pricked up his ears, like a vigilant cheetah, trying to catch even the slightest sound and movement from the outside world, attempting to understand what had happened from the smallest clues.
He was like a lone traveler trapped in a dark abyss, groping his way forward in endless darkness.
He longed for a glimmer of light, a glimmer of hope, to guide him out of this terrible predicament.
Unfortunately, when he was fully awake, the outside world had returned to a deathly silence, a silence that was somewhat eerie.
It was as if the whole world had fallen into an eternal slumber, devoid of any life or vitality.
He received no useful information and could only speculate silently, worrying about how the situation would develop.
Yet, he was like a caged beast with its hands and feet bound, powerless, his heart filled with anxiety and helplessness, like a heavy shackle that made it hard for him to breathe.
Ning Chenyi struggled in the endless darkness and abyss of despair, believing that all hope had been shattered like bubbles.
Just when they were about to completely give up on that last sliver of hope, Xuan Ying appeared.
At that moment, Ning Chenyi's surging excitement erupted like a long-suppressed volcano.
The scorching magma instantly broke free of its restraints, unstoppable with its overwhelming force.
His eyes instantly welled up with tears, almost bursting into tears of joy.
The corner of my heart, long frozen by despair, was now quietly melted by this sudden ray of hope.
Although his consciousness remained clear, like a lone star twinkling in the night sky.
However, because his body was as if bound by invisible shackles, he could not move and was unable to see the appearance of the person who came.
He could only rely on his increasingly acute senses in dire circumstances to detect that someone was cautiously and quietly entering the Yangxin Hall, which was so quiet it was almost oppressive.
At this critical juncture, the situation is complex and fraught with danger, where the slightest misstep could lead to utter ruin.
The person who dared to venture into this place and examine his physical condition with such meticulous care.
In Ning Chenyi's mind, this person was undoubtedly someone he could absolutely trust and entrust with his life.
In his mind, which was in turmoil due to anxiety and despair, the first thing that flashed through his mind like lightning was the loyal and familiar figure of Eunuch Li.
He couldn't help but wonder if it was his loyal eunuch Li who, disregarding his own safety, was willing to go through fire and water and risk everything.
Like a warrior venturing into a dragon's den or a tiger's lair, they secretly sneaked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, a place fraught with unknown dangers, just to check on his condition.
Give him even the slightest help and comfort, and bring him a glimmer of warmth and hope in this cold and dark predicament.
However, the moment the person gently fed him water, Ning Chenyi's heart, which had relaxed slightly due to a glimmer of hope, was instantly struck hard as if by a heavy hammer.
My heart leaped into my throat, as if it were suspended above an abyss, teetering on the brink of collapse.
A strong, almost suffocating sense of foreboding, like a dark, inky haze, quickly and mercilessly enveloped his heart.
His heart was filled with endless fear and despair, and the first thought that popped into his mind like a demon was...
It must be that ruthless, heartless, and outrageously cruel Ning Chenxing, who, fearing that his life was not yet over, returned again with malicious intent.
They wanted to force-feed him a deadly poison, pushing him into an abyss of no return to prevent any future trouble.
But just as the liquid slowly slid into my mouth, a familiar sweet taste appeared.
Like a warm and gentle spring breeze, it instantly and softly spread across his taste buds.
That unique flavor, like a memory etched deep in his soul, was something he recognized almost instinctively.
This unique and unforgettable taste was the taste of the sacred spring water that he had once been fortunate enough to get from the Empress.
In an instant, it was as if a blazing and bright flame suddenly ignited in Ning Chenyi's heart with the force of a wildfire.
That hope, which had been gradually extinguished like ashes, is now like a phoenix rising from the ashes, bursting forth with renewed vitality and burning even more fiercely.
His thoughts raced through his mind like wild horses, and he pondered to himself.
It must have been Qin Qianluo who sensed Ning Chenxing's deeply hidden, treacherous ambition, like a venomous snake, and keenly discovered the misfortune that had befallen him.
She must have been extremely anxious at the time, restless like an ant on a hot pan, and rushed back to rescue herself at all costs.
Thinking of this, Ning Chenyi felt a surge of warm emotion. His gratitude towards Qin Qianluo grew stronger like the rising tide, almost overwhelming his heart.
