Chapter 401: It's all my fault
Li Yu turned around and looked at Ye Fei: "Jiang Bai's injury is no longer serious."
Upon hearing the girl's voice, the four guardian demons all raised their eyes, their gazes falling on the girl in a plain-colored robe behind Li Yu.
Is this... a human girl?
The four guardian demons exchanged furtive glances, their eyes revealing shock.
There is constant conflict between humans and demons, so logically, few humans would dare to step into the demon realm, right?
But this human girl...
Li Yu waved his hand at the demon guardians: "You may all step back."
"yes!"
The four guardian demons quickly retreated, and Li Yu gently pushed open the door to the main hall: "Empress, please come in, His Majesty is inside..."
Without saying a word, Ye Fei stepped into the main hall.
Compared to the festive decorations outside the hall, the interior was rather dim.
A man lay on a large bed made of precious gold-threaded blackwood. The only light source was the luminous pearls hanging on both sides of the bed curtains, so only the bed and the surrounding area were illuminated.
Ye Fei took a deep breath, quickly walked to the bedside, and pulled back the curtain.
Li Yuan lay on the bed with his eyes closed, his face pale, his arm wrapped in bandages, and the blood seeping out stained the bandages.
He wasn't wearing any clothes on his upper body, and Ye Fei immediately noticed a shocking black claw mark on his chest.
Ye Fei had never seen him so vulnerable, and an overwhelming sense of bitterness welled up in her heart.
She placed her hand on his skin, her palm feeling his slightly cool body temperature.
"He was unconscious for three whole days?" Ye Fei clenched her fists, her voice icy.
Li Yu lowered his eyes, his handsome face full of regret and self-blame: "It's...it's all my fault. I failed to do my best to protect His Majesty, which gave that damned traitor Jing Ji an opportunity to take advantage of the situation!"
Ye Fei closed her eyes slightly: "It's not your fault. You and Jiang Bai have both done your best."
After a while, she opened her eyes and touched Li Yuan's nose with her finger. His breathing wasn't particularly weak, so she still had a chance.
Ye Fei's gaze fell on the claw mark on Li Yuan's chest, and killing intent gathered in her eyes: "Is there a way to break this witchcraft?"
Li Yu replied, "Your Excellency was struck by the Black Soul Palm, a very vicious move in witchcraft. Anyone struck by this witchcraft will have all their spiritual energy dissipated. Fortunately, Your Excellency protected your life force in time, so your spiritual energy was only lost by more than half and was not completely dissipated."
"The only way to cure the Black Soul Palm is to take a spiritual flower called Dark Night, but the Demon Palace's pharmacy happens to not have Dark Night at the moment..." Li Yu gritted his teeth, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, "I will go find it! No matter if it means going through fire and water, I will definitely save His Majesty!"
A dark night?
Ye Fei immediately recalled that, in addition to the Cloud-like Spirit Flower, she had also purchased several other immortal herbs and spirit flowers at the previous auction.
One of these spiritual flowers is called Dark Night!
Ye Fei lifted Li Yuan's hand to check his pulse, her brows furrowed.
Li Yu looked at Ye Fei strangely. Why did the Empress's technique seem to be... taking a pulse? Did the Empress know medicine?
"Li Yu, go and fetch a basin of warm water and bring it in." Ye Feiyi said succinctly and calmly, "Then, no one is to be allowed to approach the main hall."
Li Yu blinked: "Emperor and Empress...?"
"rest assured."
Ye Fei turned back to the man and gave him a faint smile: "As long as I'm here, even if your Venerable One has one foot in the grave, I will pull him out."
Li Yu stared blankly at the girl. There was probably no better way at the moment, so he could only choose to trust her: "Okay, I'll do it right away."
