The sounds of fighting came from next door. Gu Liyan, who was resting, suddenly opened his eyes and sat up in bed. "Qingge..."
Gu Liyan got out of bed, intending to go next door to check, when he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest. His expression immediately changed. "This is a harbinger of death, could it be..."
Gu Liyan's face darkened, and a sharp pain shot through his chest. He suddenly felt as if his chest had been hollowed out; the pain and weakness made his vision blur, and he stumbled and fell to the ground, muttering, "My true form..."
Before he could finish speaking, his head lolled to the side and he fainted.
—In the next room, Qingge held Qingxi in her arms, glaring angrily at Chengxi, “Chengxi! You, you actually tried to kill me!”
Cheng Xi sneered, completely unconcerned about Qing Ge's furious expression. "Hmph, it's just that I learned the truth too late. If I had known earlier that you were the one who killed Lord Shenlong, I would never have given you the chance to return to Weilong Kingdom! Only with your death can the dragon's resentment be eliminated!"
Qingge's face was gloomy. "I have said what I needed to say. If you still don't believe me, I don't want to explain any further! I only ask that I have a clear conscience!"
"A clear conscience? Heh, you don't deserve it!" Cheng Xi was furious and was about to rush forward, but was stopped by Lan Ying.
Qingge's face darkened, and she coldly said, "Lan Ying, take her away! I don't want to see her!"
Lan Ying glanced at Cheng Xi, sighed, and pulled Cheng Xi along, saying, "Cheng Xi, come with me!"
Lan Ying took Cheng Xi away. Qing Ge looked down at Qing Qi in her arms, who was barely alive, and covered Qing Qi's wound to prevent him from losing too much blood. She turned to Lü Xiu with a serious expression and said, "Lü Xiu, please, you must save it!"
Green Embroidery glanced at Qingge's guilty gaze and nodded. "Don't worry, I will heal him."
Seeing Qingqi's injuries, everyone was filled with mixed emotions. They had never expected that in the final moment of crisis, it would be Qingqi who stepped forward and blocked Chengxi's fatal blow for Qingge...
A short while later, Lan Ying returned and said, "I sent Cheng Xi to the dungeon and had someone guard him."
Qingge nodded, then turned to look at Qingchu lying on the bed with a worried expression. "I hope Qingchu is alright."
Huang Xi looked at "Qingzhi" lying on the bed, then at the stool she was sitting on, and couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "So what if she saved Princess Qingge? Is it really necessary to give the bed to a dog?"
"Would it kill you to say less?" Lan Ying tugged at Huang Xi and whispered.
Huang Xi pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
After finishing bandaging, Lüxiu stood up, wiped the blood off her hands, and then wiped the sweat from her forehead. She said, "The wound has been stitched up. Although it lost a lot of blood, it is very resilient and seems to be able to pull through."
"I never imagined it would pull through after suffering such severe injuries." Qingge sighed, looking at Qingchu lying on the bed. "If it weren't for it, I'm afraid I would be dead by now..."
Huang Xi nodded, then suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way! Isn't Gu Liyan next door? With such a commotion here, why hasn't he come over to check?"
“That guy Gu Liyan…” Lan Ying frowned. Gu Liyan had been acting strangely lately. He always seemed to be indifferent to Qingge and sometimes even avoided her.
"If you ask me, Princess Qingge, can't you just give Gu Liyan a nice look! Let that guy know that you don't just like him!" Huang Xi said solemnly.
At this point, Lan Ying glared at Huang Xi, signaling her to shut up.
Qingge's face was gloomy. She also felt that even if Gu Liyan was just a wall away, he would be able to hear the commotion here. But why hadn't he come over to check on things yet?
Qingge stood up, her face cold, and said, "I'll go take a look." Then she strode out.
Lan Ying pointed at Huang Xi in an annoyed tone and said, "You brat, can't you say something nice?"
"I'll just tell the truth, why say anything nice?" Huang Xi pouted and said, "That Gu Liyan, just a few days ago he was willing to go through fire and water for Qingge, but who knew that his senior brother would come and his attitude would change completely! I think he's just pretending to be nice to Qingge!"
“Exactly, they’re not even as good as a dog!” Green Embroidery chimed in, glancing at “Clear” intentionally or unintentionally.
Lan Ying frowned and said, "Don't jump to conclusions. Gu Liyan has been recuperating at my place recently. He has been sleeping for several days in a row, and his complexion is very poor. He seems to be feeling very unwell."
Green Embroidery asked with a puzzled look, "Could it be that his injury hasn't healed yet?"
Huang Xi and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.
Just then, a gasp came from next door: "Ah! Gu Liyan!"
Lan Ying suddenly stood up and ran out the door, followed closely by Lü Xiu and Huang Xi...
Just as Cheng Xi and Lan Ying were fighting, Gu Liyan, who had heard the commotion next door, was about to go out of his room. But before he could even leave, he suddenly felt a dull pain in his chest, as if it were a sign of something. Before he could react, the next second it felt as if his heart and lungs had been ripped out. He was in unbearable pain in his chest and fainted, clutching his chest.
He didn't know how much time had passed when Qingge knocked on his door. He was already unconscious and had no consciousness whatsoever...
Qingge, who was waiting at the door, was a little angry when she saw that Gu Liyan ignored her and did not respond at all. Just as she was about to leave, she saw Gu Liyan lying unconscious in the room through the crack in the window leading to his room as she passed through the corridor. She then exclaimed in surprise.
"Princess Qingge, what happened?" Lan Ying and the others rushed out. At that moment, Qingge was at the door of Gu Liyan's room, anxiously banging on the door.
Qingge pointed to Gu Liyan's room and said, "Gu Liyan has fainted! You all need to hurry up and break down the door!"
