"Xi'er, Xi'er, what's wrong?" Zhou Changling panicked immediately. He hadn't dared to touch Bai Lingxi just now, for fear of upsetting her again.
But he couldn't care less about that now. He pulled the unconscious, blood-vomiting Bai Lingxi into his arms: "Quick, find a nearby clinic!"
Zhou Changling now hates himself to death. How could things have come to this? If there were any way out, he would never have chosen to do this again!
He then blamed himself, wondering why he hadn't brought his personal physician with him today.
Why did you insist on coming over as soon as you learned of their whereabouts?
Why can't we consider things more thoroughly and come up with a foolproof plan?
If anything were to happen to Bai Lingxi, he would never forgive himself, never!
...
Zhou Changling's mind was in a mess, he was completely lost and panicked, and all he wanted to do was take Bai Lingxi to see a doctor as soon as possible.
Just then, a voice called out to him!
"etc!"
Before Zhou Changling could make a move, An Yi, who was being held captive by his men, spoke up.
Zhou Changling saw that he was just a lowly bodyguard, glanced at him only once, and quickly looked away.
Now is not the time to waste time on a bodyguard; we should prioritize Xi'er's health.
"Heart-to-Heart Gu!" An Yi knew that he hadn't listened to him, and even showed contempt and disdain, so he roared out.
Unity Gu?
An Yi's words successfully made Zhou Changling stop in his tracks.
His narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly as he turned his head to look at An Yi, who was kneeling on the ground making a solemn vow, and asked softly.
"What kind of Heart-Connecting Gu? If you can't explain it clearly and delay Xi'er's life-saving time, I'll kill you!"
"I wouldn't dare." An Yi kowtowed to thank Zhou Changling, then broke free from his guards and walked to Bai Lingxi, intending to give her a pill.
"What are you doing?" Zhou Changling looked at him nervously and hugged Bai Lingxi to avoid his movements.
He knew this man was his father's subordinate. Now that his father was dead, it was possible that his subordinate wanted revenge and harbored malicious intentions.
An Yi took out a pill and ate it himself, meaning to prove that there was nothing wrong with the medicine.
"I would never harm you two masters. However, if you delay any longer, Her Majesty may never wake up."
Zhou Changling hesitated for a moment, knowing that time was precious.
This place is in a remote location, and even if you find a clinic, the lack of skilled doctors may delay your treatment.
"Fine, if you fail to cure Xi'er, I will have you sliced into a thousand pieces and subjected to the punishment of slow slicing!"
He nodded slightly, fed Bai Lingxi the medicine, and watched her swallow it.
Then, he gave Zhou Jin another pill. After doing all this, he returned to his original position and quietly waited for the medicine to take effect.
As Zhou Changling watched his series of actions, his already slightly gloomy eyes were covered with a layer of frost. But before he could react, Bai Lingxi indeed made a move.
"It hurts, it hurts so much!"
Bai Lingxi didn't open her eyes and wake up. It was as if she was having a nightmare, constantly screaming in pain, which became more and more intense.
Even more amazing things happened!
On the other side, blood slowly seeped from the corner of Zhou Jin's mouth, but miraculously she resumed breathing, her chest rising and falling slightly.
"!"
Not only Zhou Changling, but everyone present was shocked, for in this era, it was almost a miracle.
"What did you do? What happened to Xi'er?"
Zhou Changling finally realized that he had just done something stupid; that medicine was definitely not an ordinary wound medicine.
"Yes, this medicine is the catalyst to awaken the Heart-to-Heart Gu. The Heart-to-Heart Gu parasitizes people who share the same heart and virtue, and can make the dead live the same life, so that the two can live and die together from then on."
An Yi spoke slowly and deliberately, making sure every word was clear. Perhaps he was saying it on purpose for someone else to hear!
Zhou Changling was not angered by him. After a moment of contemplation, he asked, "When will Xi'er wake up?"
Hearing the cries of pain in his ears, Zhou Changling held Bai Lingxi even tighter, his heart aching with each clench of pain.
"Three days later, but on the condition that you bandage my master's wound properly, I will speed up his healing process."
Zhou Changling nodded, accepting this explanation, and then ordered the army: "Proceed back to the palace!"
...
The Imperial Palace.
The Ganling Palace, with its carved beams and painted rafters, had sheer embroidered curtains that fluttered in the wind, revealing a variety of luxurious furnishings.
The underground heating was burning brightly, making the whole house feel like spring all year round, warm and comfortable, so warm that you wouldn't feel cold even wearing just a single layer of clothing.
These past two days, the young prince seemed to know his mother had returned, and his joyful laughter echoed throughout every corner of the palace: "Hahahaha~"
Zhou Changling had just finished the morning court session. He took the hand warmer handed to him by Li Lin, warmed himself up, and then went to the inner hall to visit Bai Lingxi.
Beside the bed, the little prince in the cradle was waving his chubby arms, babbling and hoping his mother would interact with him.
Even though Bai Lingxi was still unconscious, the little prince wasn't bored at all. He was overjoyed just by feeling his mother's presence.
"Hahaha~" The little prince saw his father, clapped his hands with a laugh, and had a great time entertaining himself.
Looking at the two similar faces, one big and one small, Zhou Changling couldn't help but smile. He first glanced at Bai Lingxi, then touched her forehead. Hmm, everything is fine.
Then, he picked up the restless little prince: "An'er, why are you so energetic today?"
"Do you know your mother is back, hmm?" Zhou Changling picked him up and held him in front of him, looking at Bai Lingxi together.
As if understanding what Zhou Changling was saying, the little prince pointed at Bai Lingxi with his little finger and babbled.
It wasn't until Zhou Changling placed the little prince next to Bai Lingxi's pillow that the little prince affectionately hugged his mother, holding on tightly and refusing to let go, showing them an extremely intimate bond.
Zhou Changling was both amused and exasperated, his heart softening completely. Suddenly, he noticed that Bai Lingxi's fingers seemed to twitch.
