Bailu was recently moved to a new hospital.
Even Chu Yi was at a loss. Shi Xu was on the verge of collapse, and he didn't want to discourage him, but the facts were there, so what could he say?
The sika deer clan is skilled in medicine and healing. Upon seeing their leader emerge, Lian Chu quickly went up to ask, "How is the situation?"
“This is not good,” Bai Tanxiang shook his head heavily. “Wang has lost too much blood and has fallen into a coma. I’m trying to figure out what to do.”
The Senwang Palace was in complete chaos, with almost all the tribal leaders and important ministers gathered there, completely surrounding the area.
Shen Qiexing sat on the railing. Although he couldn't see what the Forest King looked like, he could tell from the conversation that the Forest King was in a very bad situation.
I wonder what Little Deer Fairy would think if she found out that she was fast asleep while the Forest King was on the verge of death.
That's so cruel...
A gentle night breeze blew by, and withered flowers fell to the ground.
—
Lu Yixin almost threw up when she woke up.
She felt as if she were sitting in an extremely turbulent small boat, surrounded by undulating waves, which jolted her awake.
"Brother Qiexing..."
She tried to raise her hand to rub her eyes, but a sudden feeling of weightlessness washed over her, and she was almost thrown off. Someone beneath her yelled, "Xin Xin! You're finally awake!"
This shout immediately woke Lu Yixin up, and she realized that she was lying on the back of a white lion, moving rapidly towards the Canggu Temple.
"Brother Shixu! Didn't you go out with Grandpa?"
The white lion was Shi Xu. She hugged the white lion's neck tightly, afraid that she would be thrown off.
"Wang didn't go out. Something happened to him. He was unconscious all night, and Bai Tanxiang is still trying her best to save him!"
"What did you say!" Lu Yixin screamed, her nails digging into Shi Xu's fur. "What do you mean by that!"
"You'll see when we get there. I came looking for you last night, but you weren't home. I was so worried."
She was imprisoned in the dungeon by the Phoenix Maiden last night!
But at this critical juncture, she didn't want to cause any more trouble for herself, so she temporarily kept the matter a secret.
Lian Chu, standing on the second floor, immediately saw Shi Xu carrying Lu Yixin as they galloped towards them, and quickly waved to them.
"Uncle Lian Chu, what's wrong with Grandpa?!"
Lu Yixin's legs were weak when she came down. From afar, she saw a huge crowd gathered outside the palace. Only then did she realize the seriousness of the situation. Her nose suddenly stung with tears, and she pushed through the crowd to the innermost part.
"Yesterday, the King led us to intercept the attack of the Wolf Clan and Tiger Clan in the Kongsang Mountains. That Yue Fuge was despicable and shameless. He took advantage of the fierce battle to launch a sneak attack on the King, who was severely injured and has not yet woken up!"
"how so......"
Lu Yixin cried in disbelief, grabbing Lian Chu's sleeve, "Didn't Grandpa tell me he was leaving Mitianze today to go somewhere else? How come he suddenly got into a fight with Yue Fuge and the others!"
Those around her had complicated expressions upon hearing her words.
Everyone knows that the news of the King of the Forest's trip was spread among the tribal leaders and important officials not only to lower Yue Fuge and the others' guard, but also to catch the person who betrayed them last time.
I just didn't expect that Lu Yixin also knew about this.
Is it possible that she was the one who snitched...?
No one could be sure, so the way people looked at her couldn't help but have something else in mind.
However, many people still believe in her. Lu Yixin's status in the Sen tribe is unique. She was raised by the Sen King from a young age, and they do not believe that Lu Yixin would be the traitor.
It would have been fine if he had just thought that, but some people couldn't stand the chaos and said sarcastically, "The secret was leaked, Wang really trusted the wrong person."
The speaker was a young boy from the sika deer family, who looked to be about the same age as Lu Yixin. Immediately after he finished speaking, he was slapped by an elder.
"Shut up! How can you be so ill-mannered!"
Lu Yixin found this person very familiar, and it took her a while to realize that this was the person who had always taken her things and bullied her when she was young.
"Hu Yangyang! Stop spouting nonsense!"
Lu Yixin wiped away her tears with her sleeve, pointed at him and said, "Even if I die, I would never betray my grandfather or the Sen clan!"
Hu Yangyang wanted to retort, and it looked like the two were about to start arguing. Someone nearby quickly intervened to break up the fight and scolded Hu Yangyang a few times.
Just then, Bai Tanxiang came out, her body covered in blood. Lu Yixin stopped arguing with Hu Yangyang and asked anxiously, "Madam Tanxiang, is Grandpa feeling better?"
Bai Tanxiang nodded wearily and said softly, "I guess I've been given a second chance at life."
She worked tirelessly for six hours straight, and at that moment she felt like she could faint at any moment.
"But the king is still unconscious, and we don't know when he will wake up." She exhaled and covered her forehead. The elder who had reprimanded Hu Yangyang earlier took her arm and helped her to the side to rest.
“Sandalwood Lady, thank you so much for saving Grandpa,” Lu Yixin said with tears in her eyes, as she took off a mutton-fat jade necklace from her neck. “Grandpa gave this to me a couple of years ago. I don’t know how to thank you enough, so please accept this necklace.”
She suppressed her grief and forced a smile, saying, "Asagao has grown up, and this collar fits her perfectly."
Bai Chaoyan is Bai Tanxiang's daughter. When she was a child, Bai Tanxiang often stood up for her when she was bullied by the people of the Sika Deer Clan. She also liked this leader from the bottom of her heart.
The Deer Fairy and the Sika Deer are of the same origin, but for some reason, she is often ostracized by the Sika Deer.
"Silly child, how can a wife accept things from a junior?" Bai Tanxiang touched Lu Yixin's face tenderly and carefully helped her put the necklace back on. "Did Hu Yangyang cause you trouble again just now? Let's see if my wife can teach him a lesson."
"Go inside and check on the King."
King Sen lay calmly on the couch. If it weren't for his ashen face, Lu Yixin would have thought he was asleep.
"grandfather......"
Lu Yixin held his cold hand and helped him put it under the covers. "Please wake up soon and talk to Xinxin."
She knelt before King Sen's bed, leaning against him, her tears soaking the blankets, oblivious to her own tears, only murmuring softly, "Grandpa, please don't let anything happen to you..."
Lu Yixin guarded the Forest King for three days and three nights, unaware that chaos had broken out outside.
First, Phoenix Maiden was furious when she discovered that Lu Yixin had escaped from prison and tried to storm the Forest King's bedchamber, but was stopped by a group of people; then another group of people wanted to execute Yue Fuge and Xi Wu, while the Wolf Clan and Tiger Clan fought desperately to defend the dungeon entrance, and the two sides almost started fighting again.
There were many who wanted to take advantage of the Forest King's coma to seize power in the Forest Clan, but they were all pulled down by others who had the same idea.
Like crabs in a bamboo basket.
And so, the group remained deadlocked, with no one willing to give in.
On the fourth day, Lu Yixin came out, but King Kesen still hadn't woken up.
She hadn't slept for three days and three nights, so Shi Xu forcibly took her out and told her to rest.
Originally, she was supposed to stay at the Canggu Temple, but she insisted on going back to her own courtyard, so Shi Xu let her go.
Brother Qiexing has not seen her for four days, he must be going crazy thinking she's lost.
She needs to go back and let him know she's safe.
"No need to say more, I've already heard about it," Shen Qiexing sighed. "Go get some sleep, what if you ruin your health like this?"
“Brother Qiexing,” Lu Yixin’s eyes were dim and lifeless, “who do you think told on me?”
“I don’t know either,” Shen Qiexing said with a wry smile. “Don’t think about it anymore. What you need now is to quickly recover your energy and strength. King Sen is still waiting for you to take care of him.”
Lu Yixin slept for a full twelve hours. During those twelve hours, Shen Qiexing stayed by her side and didn't go anywhere.
Every time the little deer fairy kicked off the blanket, he would cover her up again.
It is unknown what she saw in her sleep, but she began to sob. Shen Qiexing then bent down and gently patted her back until her brows gradually relaxed.
Tears clung to her eyelashes like dewdrops.
He curled his fingers to wipe away the teardrop, and awkwardly hummed a lullaby.
This was a song his father sang to him when he was a child, a long time ago. He only vaguely remembered two or three lines of the tune, so he sang those two or three lines over and over again.
The little deer's sleeping face was serene and adorable. Shen Qiexing unconsciously raised the corners of his lips, not even noticing that the tenderness in his eyes almost melted into tears.
He seems... reluctant to let her die.
But when she finds out she killed the Forest King, will she hate herself?
Of course I will.
What else could they do? Blood feud stood between them, a deadlock that could never be resolved.
If she wants to hate, then let her hate.
Anyway, after he slaughtered the Sen tribe, he would never see her again.
—
During the twelve hours that Lu Yixin was unconscious, some good news finally arrived: the Forest King had woken up.
But he was too weak to even stand up, so he could only sit in a wheelchair and have Shi Xu push him around to every place.
Although he was still weak, he already had many thorny political affairs to deal with, the most difficult of which was the Phoenix Maiden.
"King Sen, hand over Lu Yixin!"
The Phoenix Queen was truly furious this time. In her eyes, the Forest King was protecting a traitor and deliberately opposing her.
"You knew all along that the traitor was Lu Yixin, but you hesitated to take action. Now this is your retribution!"
Shi Xu had been holding back for a long time, and frowned as he said, "The Divine Lord is going too far. This is the territory of the Sen Clan. It is not for outsiders to interfere in the affairs of the Sen Clan."
"Timely narration".
The Forest King called his name in a neither loud nor soft tone, and reprimanded him in a light and indifferent manner: "How dare you speak to the God-King like that?"
He shook his head almost imperceptibly at Shi Xu, signaling him to go out first. Shi Xu glanced at Huang Nu with concern, still feeling uneasy, but dared not disobey the King of the Forest's order, and left with a belly full of anger.
“It’s not Xin Xin’s fault,” Sen Wang said slowly, taking a sip of tea. “The young dragon god is hiding in Xin Xin’s residence, and Xin Xin seems to regard him as a friend.”
He revealed what he had been testing, confirming that it was the young dragon god who had betrayed him. Only then did the Phoenix Maiden's anger subside. She snorted coldly and said impatiently, "So what do we do next?"
“Xin Xin is a very loyal and affectionate child. Since she considers the Dragon God a friend, she would never guess that the Dragon God was behind all of this.”
King Sen chuckled, "Didn't the Dragon God want to instigate internal strife within the Sen Clan and take the opportunity to kill me? If that's the case, I'll let him have his way."
