Ye Chen frowned slightly when he saw this. The empress didn't look like she was fine at all.
He was fine just now. He had traveled thousands of miles from Xuanbing Royal City to rescue me. How come he suddenly became like this?
Could it be that this kind of rapid movement over extremely long distances is also very difficult for the empress?
But this reason is a bit too far-fetched. She is a powerful God King and one of the seven masters of this upper world. How could she be so fragile?
While Ye Chen was thinking, he quickly reached out to support the empress's seemingly shaky body.
"Don't touch me! I'm fine..."
But before the empress could finish her words, another mouthful of blood with icy chips spurted out from her mouth.
"You're still saying it's okay even though you're in this fucking state. How long are you going to pretend to be strong?"
Ye Chen was anxious and angry, even swearing in his words, and grabbed his arm with his hand.
It felt cold to the touch, and beneath the loose court robes, there was a slender and thin arm.
The empress struggled slightly, and her whole body seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and she fell headfirst into Ye Chen's arms.
The Ice Phoenix that was originally carrying the two of them also instantly disintegrated at this moment, breaking into thousands of ice crystals and disappearing.
Ye Chen immediately floated in the air, holding the empress's delicate body in his arms, and flew towards a hidden depression in the mountains below.
Fan Tianxiao had just escaped. Although he certainly didn't dare to come back, Ye Chen was worried that another powerful man from the Chiyang Divine Kingdom might come from the Xueyin Mountains near the border. That would be a disaster.
To be on the safe side, Ye Chen immediately held his breath and dug a deep hole in the mountain below, hiding himself and the empress inside.
In the end, still feeling unsafe, Ye Chen waved his hand to completely seal the cave entrance, and then took the empress directly into the Qiankun bag.
In the outside world, there is only an ordinary-looking cloth bag, hidden in this silent black hole.
Ye Chen discovered that the body of the empress in his arms was getting colder and colder, her lips were turning icy blue, her eyes were tightly closed, and a layer of frost was frozen on her long eyelashes.
"What on earth is going on?"
Ye Chen was anxious.
Now it seems that the empress should have known about her physical condition a long time ago and only cut off one of Fan Tianxiao's arms, probably because she did not want the relationship with the Chiyang Divine Kingdom to continue to deteriorate, so as to avoid a larger war.
In her current condition, it is impossible for her to fight against a strong person of the same level.
Now she has come thousands of miles to save him. If she finally saves him and then dies in his arms, Ye Chen will never feel at peace.
Although he and the empress did not have much interaction, and she always spoke in a proud and arrogant manner, Ye Chen knew that she had a kind heart and treated people she approved of very well.
Even if we take a step back, even if it is for the sake of living a more comfortable life in the Xuanbing Divine Kingdom in the future, we cannot let the empress die.
The most important thing now is to find out what’s wrong with the empress.
Ye Chen suddenly remembered that he still had two 'Ice Soul Pills' that the empress had given him before, which were said to have extremely powerful healing effects.
In desperation, Ye Chen didn't have time to think about it and directly took out the Ice Soul Pill and put it into the empress's mouth.
But at this time, the latter's lips were tightly closed and her teeth were clenched, so it couldn't be inserted at all.
Ye Chen made up his mind and pinched her snow-white cheek with one hand, forcibly prying a gap in the empress's mouth and forcibly pushing the Ice Soul Pill in.
Then he continued to caress her chest gently, allowing the pill to enter her stomach smoothly.
After feeding her a pill, the empress's eyelashes moved slightly, as if she was showing signs of waking up.
Ye Chen was overjoyed upon seeing this, and he made another Ice Soul Pill in the same way and had the empress take it.
After taking two pills, the empress's narrow and long phoenix eyes finally opened slowly again.
But her gaze was no longer as sharp as usual, exuding the pressure of a great empress. Instead, it looked like that of a poor and helpless little girl, so pitiful.
"It's useless. The Ice Soul Pill can only provide temporary relief. I'm still going to die..."
The empress spoke weakly, even referring to herself from "I" to "I". At this moment, she was no longer the empress, but just a little girl waiting to die.
"Don't talk nonsense, tell me why you are like this?"
Ye Chen asked calmly.
"Don't waste your energy. If you can't save me, this is my life..."
The empress's tone was desperate, and tears rolled down her eyes, but those tears quickly turned into ice crystals, floating in the space.
She curled up helplessly in Ye Chen's arms, looking so pitiful, without any trace of the demeanor of a great empress.
Recalling her journey, ever since her father disappeared, she gritted her teeth and took on the heavy responsibility, worked hard to govern the country, stabilize the government, and wanted to make the kingdom of God grow and develop.
She had always appeared strong to the outside world, hiding her weakness deep inside. Now that she was dying, she could finally stop pretending...
"What's your name?" Ye Chen asked.
The empress was startled, not knowing why he asked this, but she still answered subconsciously:
"Ling Qingli."
Ye Chen nodded slightly and said, "Okay, Ling Qingli, tell me right now, what is the cause of your illness?"
At present, he could only sense that the empress's body was constantly emitting coldness, but he could not detect why it was so.
"How dare you speak to me like this..."
After a pause, she seemed unwilling to dwell on this issue any further and said, "This is not an area you can touch right now. Telling you will only hurt you..."
Empress Ling Qingli slowly closed her eyes again and said resignedly, "Put me down immediately and run. The farther the better. After I die..."
