This was the first time Ye Qingxue had witnessed Yun Zhuo's poison taking effect.
When the pain became unbearable, he would bang his head against the wall and the floor.
He was very strong, and she was always strong, but there were times when she couldn't hold him at all.
His jaw was clenched tightly, and the veins on his face bulged repeatedly, as if they were about to burst out of his fair skin.
Several times, Ye Qingxue's heart leaped into her throat, fearing that Yun Zhuo would explode and die at any moment. She used all her strength to pry open Yun Zhuo's teeth and stuff her arm into his mouth.
"Bite me!" Ye Qingxue forced back the stinging pain in her eyes, refusing to let the tears fall.
Suddenly, she remembered that when she was in extreme pain at the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, Yun Zhuo also made her bite him.
But back then, she could still endure that pain. Now, Yun Zhuo's pain must be dozens of times greater than hers back then.
At least she was rational back then, but now there is no clarity in Yun Zhuo's eyes.
His teeth bit down on her arm, and Ye Qingxue could almost feel the outline of his teeth. A slight, sharp pain instantly spread throughout her body.
She gritted her teeth, bracing herself for the excruciating pain of bleeding, but the teeth that were biting her wrist suddenly loosened, and Yun Zhuo abruptly opened her eyes, her gaze clear for a moment.
His face was covered in sweat; his hair and long eyelashes were soaked through.
His face looked as if it had been washed with water, so pale that it was devoid of any color, and he was on the verge of breaking down.
Ye Qingxue's heart ached again and again.
Yun Zhuo looked at her, his lips trembling. After what seemed like an eternity, he finally reached out and shakily touched Ye Qingxue's face.
"I'm so sorry for letting you end up with someone like me," Yun Zhuo said in a hoarse voice, full of remorse.
Ye Qingxue gripped his hand tightly, very forcefully.
“From the moment you took the blame for me without my consent, you have been wronging me all along, so you have to walk out of this prison properly to repay me and make amends!”
Yun Zhuo stared at her intently. She looked as weak as if she had just recovered from a serious illness, but she was still very beautiful.
Xiang Si Zi said, "Although it has now been confirmed that the Ninth Prince and Prince Jing were poisoned, Prince Jing still bears the crime of killing the Ninth Prince and will be executed in five days. What should we do now?"
Yes, Yun Zhuo's crime has been established, and he was seen by Cui Shao and others at the time. Yun Zhuo himself even confessed to the crime. What should we do?
Ye Qingxue thought to herself that the Xuanwang couple probably wouldn't make any moves at this point. They would use the excuse of recuperating from their injuries to wait for the Lan family and Yun Zhuo to be executed before taking any action.
Ye Qingxue helped Yun Zhuo up and made him sit against the corner of the wall. She wiped the sweat from his face with her sleeve and tidied the stray hairs on his forehead and temples.
"Wait for me here." After saying this, Ye Qingxue took a deep look at Yun Zhuo, then slowly stood up, turned around, and walked out slowly and firmly with her back to Yun Zhuo.
Xiangsizi glanced at her and saw blood dripping from her fingertips onto the ground. Perhaps it was from Yunzhuo's injury, or perhaps it was from Yunzhuo's body, but she seemed completely unaware of it.
Xiang Si Zi immediately took out a bottle of pills and gave it to Yun Zhuo, then followed her out.
Stepping out of the cell and looking at the blue sky above, Ye Qingxue said, "Dongbai, go and call Qiushen to come see me."
Are the Xuanwang couple planning to "recover from their injuries" and remain calm in the face of any eventuality?
Then she forced the Xuanwang couple to "get moving".
...
At this moment, the Xuanwang Mansion was peaceful and serene, with Ji Mingwei "single-mindedly" treating Yunxun's leg injury.
Today should have been their wedding day, but Yun Xun injured his leg. Ji Mingwei had sent a letter to their relatives who were temporarily staying at the Marquis's residence, postponing the wedding visit until after the full moon.
At daybreak, the medicine was ready.
Ji Mingwei personally served it to Yun Xun and made him drink it.
Just then, the couple learned that "Floating Life Dream" had been found inside the Ninth Prince's body.
Lingya added, "Not only that, even His Highness Prince Jing has been found to have been poisoned by 'Floating Dream.' At this time, Princess Jing is kneeling before the Emperor, begging him to thoroughly investigate the murder of the Ninth Prince."
"Furthermore, His Highness Prince Jing has recanted his confession, saying that he never killed the Ninth Prince. He previously admitted to killing someone, but he mistook the other person for Princess Jing, and he was merely taking the blame for Princess Jing."
"Upon learning that Princess Jing had not killed the Ninth Prince, he recanted his testimony. Because His Highness Prince Jing had the poison 'Floating Dream' in his body, the Emperor has begun to doubt the truth of the whole matter."
Yun Xun and Ji Mingwei were immediately overwhelmed with shock. They quickly exchanged a glance and both realized that the other was emotionally unstable.
But they all tacitly kept quiet.
Moreover, Ji Mingwei appeared calm and composed as she slowly placed the medicine bowl onto the coffee table next to her.
Lingya stared intently at the two of them. He felt that things were getting urgent, but he couldn't discern how his masters would react.
After a short while, Yun Xun spoke up: "Ling Ya, you go out first and stand guard outside. I want to talk to the Princess for a while."
"Yes!" Ling Ya withdrew and closed the door, diligently guarding outside, not daring to lose focus for even a moment.
As soon as the door closed, the temperature inside the room plummeted, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
Initially, Ji Mingwei and Yun Xun did intend to remain unchanged and deal with everything after the Lan family and Yun Zhuo were executed.
But now things have changed.
They actually discovered the poison in Yun Zhuo and the Ninth Prince's bodies.
Yun Xun felt his mouth was dry. He pursed his lips and asked, "Does Your Highness have any solutions? We can't just sit here and wait to die!"
