Although Qingge was covered in soot, she wasn't hurt at all. Looking at Qingge, Li Erniang felt a pang of envy, but mostly jealousy. How wonderful it would be if she could also be held in Gu Liyan's arms…
Li Erniang concealed her true feelings and carefully helped Gu Liyan up. Qingge wiped away her tears, stood up, and supported Gu Liyan on the other side. The two of them said nothing and together dragged Gu Liyan out.
Outside the door, Li Jin, accompanied by a guard, subdued Yang Wei and the others. Seeing Qing Ge emerge, he respectfully stepped forward and said, "Princess Qing Ge, I am late in coming to your aid. Please forgive me."
Qingge glanced coldly at Li Jin without saying anything, then turned to Li Erniang and urged, "Quickly save them."
Li Erniang nodded, took out silver needles and sealed Gu Liyan's acupoints, instantly stopping the bleeding from Gu Liyan's wounds. She carefully pulled out the arrows from his body one by one, but two arrows remained unremoved.
“One arrow is close to his heart, and the other is near his spine. If we pull it out rashly, I'm afraid…” Li Erniang explained.
Qingge's face darkened. "Then treat the other wounds first."
Li Erniang nodded, took out some medicinal powder and sprinkled it on Gu Liyan's wound, and ordered people to carry Gu Liyan to a quiet place.
Qingge looked at Li Erniang anxiously and asked, "When will Xiaoli wake up?"
“I don’t know either, he was seriously injured this time,” Li Erniang said, shaking her head.
Qingge clenched her fists, her face filled with rage. "That damned Yang Wei! I'll make him pay!"
Qingge looked at Li Erniang and instructed, "You stay here and take care of him. I'll be right back!"
Qingge turned and left, determined to make those who had harmed Gu Liyan pay with their blood!
Seeing Qingge leave, Li Erniang came to the bedside with a smile. Looking at Gu Liyan, who was lying unconscious on the bed, she laughed and said, "Hehe, Gu Liyan, you didn't expect this, did you? In the end, you still ended up in my hands..."
Qingge arrived at the dungeon entrance, only to find Li Jin standing there, seemingly waiting for someone. For some reason, she always felt a strong aversion to Li Jin.
Instead of paying any attention to her, Li Jin spoke first, "Princess Qingge, please wait!"
"What do you want to do?" Qingge stopped and turned to look at Li Jin coldly.
With a confident smile, Li Jin said, "Princess Qingge came here to see Yang Wei and avenge Gu Liyan, right?"
Qingge said coldly, "What? Is that not allowed?"
“Of course! But Princess Qingge, you’re probably a step too late—” Li Jin said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Qingge frowned.
“Yang Wei’s attack on Princess Qingge is a capital offense, and I have already taken care of it for you!” Li Jin said with a smile. “How could Your Highness be allowed to do such a thing yourself…”
Snap—
Before Li Jin could finish speaking, Qing Ge slapped him across the face, her expression dark and her gaze icy as she said, "Li Jin, who do you think you are? How dare you interfere in my affairs! Don't think I don't know your identity; you're actually a spy sent by the Kingdom of Warriors, aren't you?"
"I also know that you persuaded Qingyang to use me as a sacrifice! I think you were the one who poisoned me a few days ago, weren't you? You saved me today, and I'm already being merciful by not pursuing the past. How dare you interfere in my affairs!" Qingge said coldly, her eyes narrowed.
Li Jin narrowed her eyes but showed no anger. Instead, she smiled and said, "Hehe, as expected, you can't hide it from Princess Qingge. However, since Princess Qingge knows that I poisoned you, then you should know that my medical skills are several levels higher than Li Erniang's!"
"What?" Qingge frowned. "Even so, so what?"
"No matter what, I can only tell you that Gu Liyan is seriously injured, and it's questionable whether he can wake up. I think that in this world, apart from me, there is probably no other doctor who can save him!" Li Jin said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Qingge's expression changed. "Li Jin, what exactly do you want!"
Li Jin squinted and chuckled, "It's simple, I just want you to spend one night with me!"
"What? How dare you!" Qingge's face turned ashen.
"What? Princess Qingge, do you think your innocence is less important than Gu Liyan's life?" Li Jin said with a sly smile.
Qingge gritted her teeth, glared at Li Jin, and didn't say anything.
"Gu Liyan was willing to give his life for you, but it turns out you didn't care about him at all!" Li Jin sneered. "You wouldn't even save your lover to clear your own name! Gu Liyan is truly pathetic!"
Qingge pursed her lips but didn't say anything.
"It seems, Princess Qingge, you are the most heartless one!" Li Jin squinted at Qingge and sneered, "I really wonder if Lord Shenlong's death has anything to do with you..."
"Enough!" Qingge interrupted Li Jin. "I promise you, but you absolutely cannot tell a third person! If you can't save Gu Liyan, or if anyone else finds out, I will make you wish you were dead!"
Li Jin's lips curled into a wicked smile. "No problem! Then tonight, I'll be waiting in my room for Princess Qingge!"
Qingge snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Watching Qingge leave, Li Jin suddenly smiled and said, "See? I told you so, didn't I? Even if she knew that I was the one who poisoned her and that the idea of the sacrifice was mine, she wouldn't kill me. She would still agree to my request."
Yang Wei walked out of the dungeon with a cold face. "Li Jin, I must say, you are truly a despicable person!"
Li Jin looked at Yang Wei with a cold face and said, "Aren't you the same? However, I'm different from you."
