With the addition of guards, the men in black were outnumbered and many were killed or wounded. With a sharp whistle, the men in black who were still able to move retreated and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
A group of people carried Ji Huali away to find the imperial physician, while Ye Jiu, who had fallen off the cliff, was ignored.
Yun Jia was very calm, and his thinking was unusually clear. He raised his arm and clenched his fist, and the veins bulged, revealing two bulges.
One of the Gu poisons was his, and the other was given to him by Yao Yishui before he died.
Having stayed in the Central Plains for so long, people have almost forgotten that the house in the east of the city was bought by a Miao woman.
A crunching sound, so loud it made your teeth ache, rang out. A hole was bitten into Yun Jia's arm, and a Gu worm, covered in blood, crawled out of the hole.
Following its master's wishes, it flew onto Ji Huali's body.
The forest was full of insects, and this little red dot burrowed under Ji Huali's skin without attracting anyone's attention.
They all remembered to take Ji Huali to the imperial physician. Ji Huali had already fainted due to excessive blood loss, so she wouldn't even notice the slight stinging pain.
Yun Jia watched them leave.
I want you dead.
Tonight, let her die... or let her suffer a few more days?
Yun Jia lifted her leg and walked towards the edge of the cliff. Looking down, the cliff face was steep, and she could see the bottom of the cliff. There was a river at the bottom of the cliff, and the river water was stained with blood, but she could not see anyone below.
Yun Jia was so engrossed in watching that if he took another step forward, he could reunite with Ye Jiu.
This cliff is so high, perhaps it only takes a second...
"Yun Jia!! Come back quickly!! It's too dangerous!" The sudden voice interrupted Yun Jia's thoughts.
He turned his head, and the one who spoke was Cui Bai, the husband of the Left Chancellor.
Cui Bai quickly walked to Yun Jia's side and pulled him away, saying, "What are you doing standing here? Let's go. Her Majesty the Empress was frightened, and the First Princess is seriously injured. We need to return to the capital as soon as possible."
Yun Jia blinked slowly, and stammered, "I... my wife fell off a cliff..."
Cui Bai's eyes widened, and he urged the guards beside him, "Quickly, quickly, go and search for it."
He took Yun Jia's hand and followed the crowd to find the way down the cliff. He comforted Yun Jia, "You're not seriously injured. There's a river down there. If you fall into the river, you'll be fine."
Cui Bai urged all the servants that the Left Chancellor had brought with him to go and find people.
Yun Jia followed Cui Bai like a dazed puppet, and Cui Bai comforted him as they walked. He kept repeating, "It's okay, it's okay."
After receiving no response from Yun Jia for a long time, Cui Bai turned to look at her, "What's wrong...?"
Yun Jia bit her lower lip tightly, even when it bled, she didn't let go, tears streaming silently down her face.
Cui Bai embraced him like an elder brother, saying, "It's alright, it's alright, good people are always blessed."
Yun Jia knew in his heart that she was injured before she fell from such a height, how could she be alright? He was afraid... afraid of seeing her one last time.
He simply couldn't imagine life without Ye Jiu.
Yun Jia buried her face in Cui Bai's chest, her lips trembling, "Yes, she's a lucky person."
After saying that, Yun Jia's mind went blank and he couldn't hear anything. It was eerily quiet around him. He couldn't even feel his own heartbeat. He trembled all over, large tears fell, and he squatted down, covered his face, and sobbed.
Cui Bai squatted down and patted his back, "It's good to cry it out, it will make you feel better."
"We've found him, my lord! We've found him!" the servant shouted as he ran over. "We've found someone down there!"
Hope ignited in Yun Jia's eyes. "Take me there quickly!" She disregarded her appearance and ran after the servant. "Faster, faster!"
Ye Jiu's eyes were tightly closed, her clothes were soaked with blood, and her face was covered with scratches.
Yun Jia knelt beside her, his hands trembling uncontrollably. With all his might, he reached his hand under Ye Jiu's nose, the faint breath brushing against his fingers.
Yun Jia's eyes shone brightly, filled with tenderness. "She's still alive! She's still alive! That's good! That's good!"
The imperial physician was urged to come over. She rummaged through her medicine box, checking her pulse and breathing. Yun Jia watched her every move, afraid that something might go wrong.
The more the imperial physician examined her, the more solemn his expression became, and Yun Jia's heart sank to the bottom.
Cui Bai walked up to Yun Jia at some point and squeezed his hand, saying, "This is the imperial physician, whose medical skills are superb. There's no need to worry."
Before the words were even finished, the imperial physician knelt down with a thud, trembling as he spoke, "This, this young lady's pulse is weak and feeble, deep and rough. She looks fine on the outside, but in reality, her internal organs are already..." The imperial physician lowered his head, not daring to look at them any longer, and said with difficulty, "Your Majesty... there is no way to save her."
Yun Jia's expression was more ruthless than ever before. He picked up the sword next to Ye Jiu and pressed it against the imperial physician's throat. With a little more force, blood would be drawn. He said, word by word, "You, say, one, more, times."
The sword was still stained with blood, incredibly sharp, and the blade reflected the imperial physician's terrified face. Yun Jia continued, "Think again about how to start the conversation."
Cui Bai's expression changed slightly, and he pressed Yun Jia's hand down. "Calm down first. I was being rash. There are better doctors in the Imperial Hospital. She will be saved."
Yun Jia loosened her grip, and the sword grazed the imperial physician's throat before falling to the ground.
Yun Jia scoffed, "Put the person on my carriage, I'll save them myself."
Yun Jia had never been so grateful that she had learned Gu worms from Yao Yishui. All the hardships she had endured in raising Gu worms turned into gratitude at this moment. These quack doctors couldn't save her, but he could, he could save her!
The servants looked at each other, not daring to make a move.
Cui Bai hesitated, unsure whether to listen to him. He asked, "Do you really have a way?"
Yun Jia smiled, and if it weren't for her still swollen eyes, one could not tell that she had just been sad. "Of course, how could I joke about my wife's life?"
Cui Bai gritted his teeth, "Be careful when lifting the person onto the carriage."
Yun Jia came as Cui Bai's attendant, but he had his own carriage and had planned to ride back with Ye Jiu.
now……
Yun Jia watched as Ye Jiu was carried into the carriage, then waved away Cui Bai's servants, saying, "Don't worry about me, you all go with Lord Cui."
"This..." The attendant, fearing trouble, hesitated for a few seconds before returning to Cui Bai's carriage.
The Empress's carriage had long since disappeared from sight. The Left Prime Minister kept urging them on, and Cui Bai, despite his helplessness, could not defy the Left Prime Minister. All his words turned into a sigh.
I hope everything is alright.
The clatter of hooves faded into the distance, leaving only Yun Jia and Ye Jiu lying unconscious in the carriage in the woods.
Yun Jia climbed into the carriage. Fortunately, the carriage was big enough to allow Ye Jiu to lie down. He knelt down beside Ye Jiu. The hole on his wrist that had been bitten had not yet healed, and blood dripped down his fingers.
Another Gu worm emerged, its body satiated with blood, making it energetic. Its small, beady black eyes seemed to be looking at him with a puzzled expression.
As the Gu worm left her body, Yun Jia's face turned noticeably paler, her figure seemed even thinner, and the blood from her wrist wound flowed out faster.
Yun Jia was completely unaffected, and even laughed out loud for no reason, poking it with her finger, "Eat your fill and get back to work."
The Gu worms burrowed into Ye Jiu's wounds and churned under her skin.
