Under the soft moonlight, Ye Qingxue's gaze slowly focused as she looked at the man in front of her whose face was covered in blood. Before she could even speak, she vomited mouthful after mouthful of blood.
Yun Zhuo's heart seemed to sink little by little, along with her blood.
They had only known each other for ten days, but he suddenly realized that liking someone didn't require a long time.
She liked the way he looked when the weeds were lifted up, standing to the side watching him.
I admire her fighting bravely, and I admire her refusal to bow her head even when facing death.
I even liked the way her hair was stuck to her temples with blood.
Even the way she looked, pale as a ghost, was etched into his heart.
He knew that her life and death were beyond her control, but he had no other choice but to beg her to hold on and survive.
Ye Qingxue's body gradually calmed down and she stopped vomiting blood. Yun Zhuo tremblingly reached out and wiped away the blood on her chin and the strands of hair stuck to her temples.
His intention was to make her more comfortable, but his hands were also covered in blood, which smeared her fair skin with blood.
He couldn't wipe it clean, no matter how hard he tried, it was still bloody. Even when he pulled out the corner of his undergarment, it was still covered in blood.
"Don't waste your energy." Ye Qingxue grabbed his hand and pressed him down.
“I was going to die anyway, this is just an hour or two earlier. I’m not dying for you, I just want to die a worthy death, don’t take it to heart.”
Yun Zhuo felt as if his throat was blocked, and he couldn't speak. Of course, it wasn't just his throat that was blocked, but also his heart, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
He was heartbroken, not because Ye Qingxue died for him; he was moved, not because Ye Qingxue died for him.
He was heartbroken simply because Ye Qingxue was about to die.
He was moved only because Ye Qingxue was worthy of his affection.
Dongbai and Qiushen knelt to one side, trying hard to suppress their grief and not let themselves cry out.
Ye Qingxue's gaze swept across their faces, then she blinked, a blink that seemed to be coming too late, as if she had almost run out of strength to blink.
Yun Zhuo immediately lifted her upper body slightly, "What do you want to say? I'm listening."
He put his ear to Ye Qingxue's mouth.
Ye Qingxue was indeed finding it very difficult to speak.
With her last strength, she said, "Your Highness, I wish you can get through this long night and step into the sunlight after dawn, so that a large number of innocent people can be spared from dying tragically."
"In that case, my efforts have not been in vain. I and Shen Jiefeng... perish together."
The moonlight seemed to suddenly sway, and in that swaying halo, Ye Qingxue seemed to see something!
She suddenly gripped Yun Zhuo's clothes tightly with her right hand, her knuckles turning white and her veins standing out prominently. She suddenly remembered something very, very important!
"June, plague. Winter solstice, incense burner. Investigate, investigate..." Ye Qingxue's pupils gradually dilated, and before she could finish her sentence, she was drenched in sweat and could no longer utter a word.
Yun Zhuo heard her breathing and could not hear any more words. He immediately looked up at Ye Qingxue, only to see that Ye Qingxue had already closed her eyes.
Yun Zhuo's mind went blank for a moment, and the surrounding silence turned into a sharp buzzing sound.
The moonlight suddenly became very bright, bright enough to see the blood droplets congealed on Ye Qingxue's eyelashes, bright enough to seem to illuminate that night ten days ago, the moment she lifted the weeds, squatted down, and stuffed ginseng into his mouth.
"Miss! Miss!" Dongbai and Qiushen could no longer hold back their tears.
Yun Zhuo suddenly came to his senses, put his index and middle fingers together, and pressed them against her chest, trying to get her heart to beat again.
But it didn't work.
He laid Ye Qingxue flat on the grass and tried to breathe into her mouth, but blood gushed out.
It's no use, it's no use, it's all useless!
Yun Zhuo suddenly picked Ye Qingxue up from the ground. He swayed slightly, but he didn't care and walked away.
Corpses and wounded people lay on the ground, and countless streams of blood flowed down, soaking the ground like a trickle of blood.
Although Shen Jiefeng was dead, several of his assassins and many guards were still alive. Yun Zhuo ignored them and carried Ye Qingxue away.
The guards were leaderless and looked at each other in confusion. Eventually, someone came to their senses and decided to leave the Bamboo Sea Stream to ask their superiors for instructions.
As for the assassins—they once again brandished their longswords and charged towards Yun Zhuo; their goal from the very beginning was to kill Yun Zhuo!
Even though Shen Jiefeng is dead, their mission remains unchanged.
Grey Seven flew out from the forest and bit through the neck of one of the assassins, killing him instantly. The remaining assassins began to feel fear.
Qiu Shen chased after Yun Zhuo, but was stopped by assassins. She had to fight the assassins while shouting, "Your Highness, where are you taking my young lady?"
Dong Bai, Zhuang Xin, and the few remaining elites of the Prince Yu's mansion all rushed forward and fought with the assassins.
Once the guards had decided to retreat, they were no longer a threat.
Now, the number of suicide squad members is dwindling.
Dong Baizhuang's elite troops, having exhausted all their strength, finally killed them all. At this moment, no one dared to chase after Yun Zhuo and take his head.
But they still didn't know where Yun Zhuo was going or what he was doing as he kept carrying Ye Qingxue forward, stumbling along!
The moonlight was like a knife, as if it had sliced through the entire mountain forest.
Yun Zhuo didn't know where he was going. His arms were numb, but he still held Ye Qingxue tightly, as if Ye Qingxue's soul would never dissipate as long as he didn't let go.
