"Of course, I also want you to know how much suffering Xiao Li endured to save your life!" Mo Han squinted at Qing Ge and said viciously, "If it weren't for you, he wouldn't have been so badly injured and ended up like this!"
"Me?" Qingge looked surprised and even more confused.
"Heh, you still don't know that Xiao Li saved your life!" Mo Han mocked. "Poor Xiao Li not only went blind but also became paralyzed to save you, and you were completely unaware!"
"What did you say? Gu Liyan went blind and paralyzed to save me?" Qingge looked at Mo Han with a surprised expression.
Seeing Qingge's still unconvinced look, Mo Han smiled bitterly, "How ridiculous. Do you think anyone can cure a poison like Seven Days to Death?"
"When your colleague was poisoned, Xiao Li was willing to sacrifice his own chance to live to do everything he could to save your life. And what about you? Where were you when he was on the verge of death? Were you hiding in the palace enjoying your wealth and luxury?" Mo Han sneered. "You knew nothing about his life or death, and even when you knew he was blind and paralyzed, you never asked about his well-being!"
"I...I..." Qingge was speechless.
Although Qingge had previously harbored feelings for Gu Liyan, she felt that even if she had romantic feelings for him, Gu Liyan only helped her because they were friends in adversity. After all, Gu Liyan had someone he loved, and moreover, he had never mentioned saving her; she truly knew nothing about it from beginning to end.
If she hadn't learned that Lan Ying had gathered everyone and happened to come looking for her, she probably wouldn't have known that Gu Liyan was in critical condition, nor that he had been so badly injured while saving her.
Seeing that Qingge remained silent, Mo Han snorted coldly, "If I had arrived earlier, I would never have let Xiao Li save you, you heartless and ungrateful woman!"
Li Erniang glanced at Qingge and curled her lip, clearly not liking her. Moreover, she could tell that Gu Liyan had sacrificed so much, and although she was unaware of it, she hadn't sent anyone to search for Gu Liyan's whereabouts.
Even if you shed tears for Gu Liyan, what do those tears represent? Sympathy and being moved can both bring tears to your eyes!
Mo Han's words dealt a heavy blow to Qing Ge. She kept reflecting on herself, wondering if she was really heartless and ungrateful to Gu Liyan.
The thought that Gu Liyan had called out a name other than hers in his sleep that day filled her with inexplicable pain and resentment. It wasn't the person he was talking about that she resented, but Gu Liyan's deception of her!
He clearly has someone he loves, so why is he still bothering me?
Thinking of this, Qingge said coldly, "It wasn't me who begged him to save me, everything—was of his own free will!"
Hearing Qingge's words, Mo Chen couldn't hold back any longer. He was the one who knew better than anyone Gu Liyan's feelings for "Hua Baixian," and he knew all the sacrifices Gu Liyan had made along the way. He angrily pointed at Qingge and scolded, "Do you have any conscience? Gu Liyan has done so much for you, he's even..."
"Mo Chen..."
Mo Chen was taken aback, and everyone else was also stunned, looking at Gu Liyan who had spoken.
Gu Liyan slowly opened his eyes. He was already used to the darkness. He forced a smile and said, "Princess Qingge is right. That... was my own choice..."
Gu Liyan's voice was soft and weak, and everyone could sense his exhaustion.
When Qingge heard Gu Liyan call her "Princess Qingge", she choked up for no reason. That was not what she really meant!
As a princess of a nation and a pillar of the Weilong Kingdom, she couldn't bow her head! She wanted to explain to Gu Liyan, but it was too late. He had already heard the insincere words she had just spoken!
Gu Liyan gave a bitter smile, tears welling in her eyes. "It's only right for friends to help each other... I didn't ask for anything in return..."
Qingge's nose tingled, and she forced back her tears, shaking her head inwardly: Little fox, that's not what I meant!
"Xiao Li, you..."
Mo Han looked down at Gu Liyan, about to say something, but Gu Liyan interrupted him, "Senior brother, this is all because I didn't inform Princess Qingge in the first place... If you want to blame someone, blame me, it has nothing to do with her..."
Mo Han gritted his teeth, raised his head, and glared fiercely at Qing Ge. Thinking of how Gu Liyan had almost died at An Qianbai's hands in his previous life, Mo Han became even angrier. However, since Gu Liyan had already spoken, he had no choice but to compromise.
"Okay, I don't blame her! But I hope this is the last time!"
Gu Liyan pursed his dry lips and said weakly, "Princess Qingge, I'm tired and want to rest. Please, go back..."
Qingge trembled upon hearing Gu Liyan's words, her nose tingled and her eyes reddened, she gritted her teeth and nodded, "Alright, I'll be leaving now!"
Without saying a word, Qingge turned around and ran out.
Gu Liyan heard the footsteps fading into the distance, and her body trembled slightly.
"Xiao Li?" Mo Han looked at Gu Liyan nervously.
Overwhelmed with grief, Gu Liyan could no longer hold back, her chest heaving with anger and blood. She vomited a mouthful of blood, her head lolling to the side as she fainted.
Qingge burst out of the door, crying as she ran to a secluded spot, where she finally broke down in tears, sobbing, "Stupid fox! Foolish fox! Silly fox! Waaaaaah..."
Tears streamed down her face. Qingge felt a sharp pain in her heart. Whether it was Gu Liyan screaming in pain or the agony on his face when he vomited blood, she saw it all and felt the pain in her heart.
After learning that Gu Liyan's injuries had become so severe because he saved her, how could she not be moved, how could she not feel heartbroken?
But why, even though I didn't know the truth, did Mo Han and the others still blame me like that, as if I owed them all a debt?
