Gu Xin sat down on the other side of the Flowing Sand Kingdom's ruler and told him how their Flowing Sand Army and the Great Zhou Army had severely damaged the Cloud Navy.
The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom nodded repeatedly in agreement.
After Gu Xin finished speaking, the King of Liusha said, "You two must make a good record of all the fallen soldiers. After the war is over, reward their families with all the merits they deserve. I also mentioned to your father before that we should choose a place outside the royal city to bury these martyrs, so that future Liusha people will remember that it was these martyrs who risked their lives to create peace for us."
Cheng Huaijin and Gu Xin nodded solemnly: "Yes."
The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom added, "Now that Giant Stone City has fallen, we can send people directly from Giant Stone City to bypass Fog Cloud City and contact A Yu and A Yuan."
Gu Xin's eyes lit up: "I'm going! I haven't seen Brother Yuanyuan for more than half a year. Besides, when we pass through Wuyun City, I might be able to cause them some trouble."
Neither the ruler of Liusha Kingdom nor Cheng Huaijin had any objections.
After a while, Gu Hui and Peng Ze came to visit the King of Liusha. They talked for a while and then went to rest.
Cheng Huaijin washed up and changed into clean clothes. Suddenly, the image of Gu Yingxue covered in blood that night appeared in his mind.
He pursed his lips, stood up, put on his cloak, and went out.
The city lord's mansion was quiet. Although they had won, there were more sacrifices than joys. The royal city still needed to be conquered, so everyone was resting.
Gu Yingxue's room was guarded by Gu Xin's maid. When she saw Cheng Huaijin arrive, she prepared to bow, but Cheng Huaijin waved her hand, telling her to wait outside the door, and he went in himself.
Seeing Gu Yingxue lying on the bed, her face pale, Cheng Huaijin didn't know how to describe his feelings.
This girl was saved by his sister at the cost of her life.
However, he had no connection with this girl, and he felt a bit resentful towards her.
Why blame her? Blame her for being foolish, for not noticing that something was wrong with Xiaoyu, for not realizing that Xiaoyu had given her the hope of survival?
Actually, he didn't resent her that much. What was the use of resenting her? Would resenting her have brought Xiaoyu back alive?
"Sister, sister..." Gu Yingxue suddenly murmured in her sleep.
Cheng Huaijin stood beside her, watching her silently.
"Sister, sister, ah! Sister..." Suddenly, Gu Yingxue screamed, as if in a nightmare. But nightmares can wake people up, but she seemed to be trapped and unable to wake up.
The maidservant heard the scream and ran in.
"Has she been like this for the past few days?" Cheng Huaijin asked.
"Your Highness, Miss Xue'er has been like this all along. She always has nightmares, but she can't wake up," the maid replied.
“Every night we’re drenched in sweat, and the next day we change Xue’er’s clothes. But she just won’t wake up. We can’t understand what Xue’er is calling out,” the maid continued.
Cheng Huaijin looked at Gu Yingxue's face and, sure enough, it was covered in sweat.
"Sister, sister, I won't go, I won't go, please don't make me leave..."
"Sister, if we're going to die, let's die together! Don't let me live, don't let me live..."
Seeing that Cheng Huaijin didn't speak, the maid carefully went to the side to pour hot water, wrung out a handkerchief, and came over to wipe Gu Yingxue's sweat.
Cheng Huaijin watched as the maid wiped her sweat, and watched as the maid kept calling her "sister".
"What did the princess say?" Cheng Huaijin asked again after the maid finished wiping her sweat.
"Your Highness, the princess has prescribed a new formula. The medicine will be given every three hours to ensure that Miss Xue'er's body needs are met," the maid replied.
