Yan Xuanye noticed her expectation and poured a bucket of cold water on her. "Don't think that anyone will come to save you. You can't leave."
In fact, Su Qingci also knew that she probably couldn't leave, but she still couldn't help but hold a glimmer of hope.
It has been a month and a half since she left the letter for help outside Puzhou City. Will anyone find it?
Yan Xuanye wanted to completely shatter her fantasy, but Shi Zhuo kept knocking on the door without giving up.
This is no small matter and His Highness must be informed.
"Your Highness, I have something important to report. It concerns the safety of all Fengyuan people. It is extremely urgent!"
The two people on the couch were both stunned. Su Qingci reacted the fastest and pushed Yan Xuanye hard while he was stunned and thinking.
"Why don't you go and take a look, in case there is something urgent."
Yan Xuanye pulled a wolfskin from the side and covered her with it. He gently kissed the red mole at the corner of her eye, wiped away the tears from the corner of her eye, and said softly, "I'll go take a look. You just wait here for me to come back. Don't run around."
Yan Xuanye went out quickly and the door of the bedroom was quickly closed to isolate the cold air outside.
Su Qingci's hair was disheveled at this moment, her shoulders were exposed, and her clothes were torn a lot by Yan Xuanye, but she still forced herself to be strong, put on an outer garment and a cloak, wrapped herself up, and then walked out of the bedroom.
She didn't know what was going on, but she had a hunch that it was related to her, so she had to go and see.
The maid outside the door saw her coming out and did not stop her.
Yan Xuanye only told her not to leave the palace, but he didn't say that she couldn't even leave the bedroom.
Su Qingci didn't let the maid follow her. She asked Yan Xuanye for the direction and followed him quietly.
…
Yan Xuanye: "Is this true? Has it been confirmed?"
Shi Zhuo leaned forward and whispered, "It's spread all over Nanchang. Even Lu Huan's father, Lu Guang, knows about it."
"The Emperor of Nanchang was afraid that without Lu Huan, Yizhou would be unable to cope, so he ordered Lu Guang to lead the 60,000 soldiers stationed in Puzhou City to support Yizhou."
Yan Xuanye pondered, "So, Lu Huan is really dead?"
Shi Zhuo nodded. "The soldiers at the scene saw it with their own eyes. Lu Huan was severely wounded by arrows. I heard that one arrow even pierced his heart. With such a serious injury, Lu Huan definitely won't survive."
Yan Xuanye let out a deep breath, feeling as if the gloom he had been feeling for the past few days had dissipated. "Where's Lu Huan's body?"
"I heard that the situation was extremely dangerous at the time. The generals and soldiers of Nanchang State were so focused on retreating that they didn't even have time to retrieve Lu Huan's body. Later, I heard that he was dragged back by Prince Ning's men."
Shi Zhuo guessed, "Maybe he wanted to hang it on the city wall to demonstrate. After all, Lu Huan is the commander-in-chief of Yizhou."
Yan Xuanye sighed, feeling slightly dissatisfied, "What a pity, I wasn't able to personally take Lu Huan's head."
He sighed, "I originally wanted to cut off his head, shave off the flesh, and use it to make a new wine vessel."
Shi Zhuo smiled and said, "If Your Highness really likes it, just tell Prince Ning. Is there any reason for Prince Ning not to give it to Your Highness?"
Yan Xuanye patted his shoulder and said, "You are right."
…
Yan Xuanye and Zhuo Xiang were having a pleasant conversation, but suddenly there was a crisp sound behind them, as if something was broken.
The two of them subconsciously looked behind them and saw Su Qingci standing in the dark, breaking an exquisite porcelain vase in his panic.
Su Qingci stood at the corner in a daze, her delicate face instantly turned as pale as paper, and she felt as if the sky had collapsed with a loud bang.
Because of extreme grief, a nauseous feeling of wanting to faint suddenly surged into her heart. She said viciously: "You are talking nonsense, you are putting on an act, right? You are all lying to me, right?"
Shi Zhuo paused. He was one of the few people in Fengyuan who knew about the relationship between Yan Xuanye and Su Qingci.
Shi Zhuo: "This news was spread half a month ago. Everyone in Nanchang knows about it. It has only just reached us now, and... we're not the only ones talking about it."
After hearing this, she lowered her head and shook her head in panic, her hair swinging messily, muttering to herself: "Impossible, impossible, he said he would come back safely."
The voice was trembling and broken, as if squeezed out from the depths of the soul.
Yan Xuanye wanted to go up and hug her, but Su Qingci suddenly took two steps back, her eyes were dull and unfocused.
She felt like she was sinking to the bottom of an icy river on a winter night. She was so cold that it seemed as if every breath she took was filled with ice. The suffocating feeling was devouring her madly.
Before she could refute anything, her body began to sway like a leaf in the wind, and then her vision went black and she fainted.
Yan Xuanye exclaimed, "Aci!" His voice was filled with panic and worry. He quickly stepped forward and caught Su Qingci's body that was about to fall to the ground.
"Quick, call the witch doctor!"
"No, let Lord Wu Yan come over, now!" Yan Xuanye roared, veins bulging on his forehead, and his hands holding Su Qingci trembled slightly.
Shi Zhuo was also shocked by this sudden change and was at a loss for what to do. He quickly responded, "Yes, Your Highness, I'll go right away!"
Yan Xuanye carried Su Qingci back to the bedroom. Looking at the unconscious Su Qingci in his arms, his heart was broken.
Her face was as pale as paper, her once lively eyes were tightly closed, and her slightly trembling eyelashes seemed to still retain endless sadness.
Even in her unconsciousness, she still murmured to herself, "Impossible, he won't die."
"He won't."
Not long after, Master Wu Yan hurried over. After a brief examination, he said solemnly, "Your Highness, the princess fainted due to anxiety and exhaustion. She needs to be well taken care of and must not be stimulated again."
"Moreover, the princess's fetus..." He paused slightly.
Yan Xuanye: "What happened to the fetus?"
"The princess is so grief-stricken and heartbroken, and she refuses to take the medicine to preserve the pregnancy. I'm afraid this pregnancy... I'm afraid it will be..."
He didn't finish the rest of his words, but Yan Xuanye understood what he meant.
Yan Xuanye frowned and asked, "It's fine if I can't protect you, but what about you, sir? Is anything wrong?"
"If this fetus cannot be saved, I'm afraid it will cause great harm to the mother. The best way is to save this fetus. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have to carefully care for it for another six months to a year."
"Also, during this period, it is not advisable to have children to avoid harming the mother."
Yan Xuanye nodded, "I understand. Go down and boil the medicine."
"Also, bring the pregnancy-preserving medicine over later. If she refuses to drink, I will feed her myself."
"yes."
The room was filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere. Yan Xuanye stayed by Su Qingci's bed, feeling full of guilt.
He had thought that Su Qingci might come to eavesdrop, so he deliberately asked in more detail, but he didn't expect that Lu Huan's death would be such a big blow to her.
What would happen to her if Lu Huan really died?
After being sad for a while, I think things will get better.
