"The situation isn't that bad, he'll be fine!" the Ghost Doctor said calmly.
At this moment, Qi Guze had fallen into a coma. His face was as pale as paper, and his breathing was weak and rapid. His chest heaved, as if he were making a final stand against death.
The guards surrounded him closely, their eyes filled with worry and anxiety.
"Master! Wake up!"
"Have you forgotten the Princess and the Crown Prince?"
"They're still waiting for you in the Great Zhou Kingdom!"
"Please don't fall asleep!"
They kept calling out to Qi Guze, trying to wake him. However, no matter how they called, Qi Guze did not respond.
Seeing their anxious expressions, the Ghost Doctor couldn't help but feel a little moved.
He knew that these guards were not just Qi Guze's followers, but also his family and friends. They genuinely cared about Qi Guze's life and death, and this affection was more precious than anything else.
The Ghost Doctor said helplessly, "He'll be fine as long as he rests for a while."
His words were like a spring breeze, gently dispelling the dark clouds in the guards' hearts. They looked at each other, their eyes sparkling with joy and relief, as if they saw hope for Qi Guze's recovery.
Although Qi Guze's injuries are severe, with his tenacious will and strong vitality, he will surely pull through. Given enough time to recuperate, he will definitely stand up again and continue his glorious life.
Time seemed to freeze. Everyone held their breath, with only Qi Guze's faint breathing echoing in the air. They stared intently at Qi Guze, anticipating the moment he would awaken.
This mixture of expectation and worry created an indescribable emotion.
Meanwhile, in the imperial palace of the Great Zhou Kingdom, Xu Yuehuai was immersed in a strange pain. She suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if it were being tightly gripped by an invisible hand.
The embroidered shoe in her hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound. Xu Yuehuai's finger was pricked by the needle, and bright red blood slowly seeped out, but she seemed unaware.
Xiaolian turned pale with fright at this sudden turn of events.
She hurriedly had someone pick up the fallen embroidered shoe, and at the same time asked Xu Yuehuai with concern, "Your Highness, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Xu Yuehuai gently shook her head, trying to calm the panic in her heart. She took a deep breath, trying to shift her attention away from the pain in her fingers. However, that inexplicable pain clung to her like a shadow, impossible for her to shake off.
"I'm fine," Xu Yuehuai said softly, but her voice betrayed a hint of weakness. She didn't know why she suddenly felt so much pain, nor did she know if it was related to Qi Guze's life or death.
Although Xiaolian was somewhat worried, seeing that Xu Yuehuai was unwilling to talk about it, she could only suppress her questions. She silently treated the wound on Xu Yuehuai's finger and then quietly stayed by her side.
At this moment, the palace seemed to be enveloped in an inexplicable atmosphere. Xu Yuehuai couldn't stop thinking about Qi Guze's safety.
As time slowly passed, Qi Guze still showed no signs of waking up.
However, a resolute glint flashed in the Ghost Doctor's eyes. He knew he had to do everything in his power to save Qi Guze, not only for his life, but also for those who cared about him.
Xu Yuehuai was also trying to adjust her mindset. She understood that she couldn't fall apart at this time. She had to face everything with strength, for Qi Guze and for herself.
Two different places, two different people, yet their hearts are tugged by the life and death of the same person.
These intertwined emotions formed an indescribable power. Perhaps it was this power that allowed them to find a glimmer of hope in their predicament.
Several days later, in the imperial palace of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Xu Yuehuai stood in the moonlight, her eyes deep and seemingly able to see through everything. The hem of her purple dress fluttered gently in the wind, adding to her mystery.
Her brows exuded an air of authority that made people afraid to look directly at her. Her gaze was fixed on the returning guard, as if trying to read every detail from his eyes.
The guard knelt before Xu Yuehuai and reported, "Your Highness, the situation has been investigated. The Liu family girl is indeed related to the assassination attempt on Lianzhuer last time."
Xu Yuehuai frowned slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.
She said coldly, "The Liu family has a lot of nerve! They actually dared to carry out assassinations in the palace. This matter must be dealt with properly to serve as a warning to others."
The guard nodded, his face showing admiration. He knew that Xu Yuehuai was a woman of her word. If she said she would deal with the Liu family woman, she would definitely do it.
Xu Yuehuai waved for the guards to leave, then turned and walked towards the emperor's bedroom.
She knew she had to tell Qi Hanlin about this. Although the Liu family was powerful, Qi Hanlin was the ruler of the land, and his words carried absolute authority.
Xu Yuehuai went directly to Qi Hanlin and explained the whole story in detail.
After hearing this, Qi Hanlin's face showed anger.
He slammed his fist on the table and roared, "How dare the Liu family be so arrogant! Do they even respect me, the emperor? How dare they touch my people! I will make the Liu family woman pay with her life!"
Xu Yuehuai looked up at Qi Hanlin's angry face. She knew that Qi Hanlin was truly angry this time. The Liu family had really messed with someone they shouldn't have.
Qi Hanlin took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
He looked at Xu Yuehuai and said in a deep voice, "Sister-in-law, you shall handle this matter. Remember, you must teach the Liu family a profound lesson!"
Xu Yuehuai nodded, a resolute expression on her face. She knew that this time he not only had to seek justice for Lianzhuer, but also to uphold the dignity of the entire royal family. Although the Liu family was powerful, they could not be above the royal family.
Immediately after leaving the palace, Xu Yuehuai began to deal with the matter. She mobilized her secret guards and forces to launch a comprehensive crackdown on the Liu family.
The Liu family's businesses were shut down one by one, and their members were arrested one by one. The Liu family was suddenly plunged into an unprecedented crisis.
Upon hearing the news, Liu's daughter was terrified. She knew she had committed a grave offense that could not be undone. Filled with fear and despair, she didn't know how to face the punishment to come.
Just when Liu Jia Nu felt helpless, Xu Yuehuai sent someone to deliver a letter to her.
The letter read: "Daughter of the Liu family, do you know your crime? If you can confess your crime voluntarily, I may consider a lighter sentence."
As Liu's daughter read the letter, her heart was filled with mixed emotions. She knew this was Xu Yuehuai's last chance for her. If she seized it, she might be able to save her life. Otherwise, an endless abyss awaited her.
After some thought, Liu's daughter decided to seize this opportunity and confess her crime.
