Xue Rou threw the mirror onto the ground and threw everything on the table onto the ground. She ruthlessly stomped on it, using one foot, very hard, very hard, but her eyes were filled with madness.

When the servant girl outside heard the noise, she hurriedly opened the door to ask. However, when she saw Xue Rou's horrible face, she was momentarily frightened to the point of crying out.

Xue Rou raised her head to look at the servant girl. Her eyes were filled with shock, as if she was a madman, and then she smashed the porcelain directly towards the servant girl. The servant girl was terrified and stood there motionlessly. Xue Rou shouted crazily, "Scram!" He picked up something and threw it at it.

Only this time, the little servant girl ran away, and even her shadow was nowhere to be seen.

"Get lost, get lost!" Xue Rou was still smashing things. Her appearance was the exact same as her previous gentle and considerate appearance. The latter was truly no different from a madman.

However, it was no wonder. In such an era, the appearance of a woman was extremely important. Especially someone like her, who had no one to rely on, was the only one he could rely on!

Nothing in the room could be smashed anymore by Xue Rou, so she couldn't find anything else. Finally, Xue Rou slowly squatted in the middle of a pile of debris and used her hands to hold her head.

The palace was now filled with the sound of wailing.

The Duke of Northern Chen laid on the bed without any signs of life, and the empress by his side fainted once again from crying. Everyone below hurried to help the empress up, and the imperial physician quickly showed it to her.

"Send the empress back to rest." Bei Zhen Yan's face was full of sadness.

The maidservants supported the Empress away, and the atmosphere grew even heavier.

Suddenly, a clear voice could be heard from outside, "Brother Jue, brother Jue", and then a young girl in a bright yellow dress ran in, but the moment she saw Duke Bei Chen on the bed, the pretty smile on her face vanished in an instant, and the innocence on her face disappeared completely as she ran in front of the Duke of Bei Chen.

When Beichen saw the young girl, his eyes immediately lit up: "Ai Ai, hurry and save my lord, hurry and think of a way to save my lord."

Situ Ai didn't reply, and instead gave a calm face for the Duke of Northern Chen to inspect. He turned to Xiao Yu who was stunned at the side and angrily rebuked, "Hurry and get the medicine box."

The moment Xiao Yu heard this, he hurriedly ran out and came back with an exquisite medicine box.

Situ Ai quickly took out the silver needles and pierced them on Duke Bei Chen's body. After stabbing him five times, he said, "Shears." Xiao Yu quickly handed the scissors over to her. Bei Chen Yan watched nervously as she cut off all the bandages. In an instant, those sinister wounds were exposed to the crowd, and they all sucked in a breath of cold air.

He reached out his hand, and as soon as he received the instructions, he immediately handed a bottle of medicine to her hand. He took the bottle and poured it onto the ferocious wounds, and miraculously, those wounds didn't bleed for long, and began to grow meat magically. However, instead of looking like a piece of meat, it was more like an extremely thin layer of skin that would break upon touching it.

In any case, this kind of medicine was still a rare miracle medicine, and Beichen's originally vicious wounds were already healed after this period of time. As long as he was able to recuperate, those wounds would no longer open up, and it would be hard to say if he took any big actions.

Situ Ai pulled out the silver needle. At the same time, Lord Beichen spat out a mouthful of blood. Instantly, everyone in the room cried out in alarm.

"Your highness, your highness has come back to life." Yan Qingcheng couldn't help but mutter.

Beichen was also overjoyed, "My son is alive! My son is alive!"

When the imperial physicians saw this, they stealthily wiped off their cold sweat and exhaled a breath of air. At least they didn't have to die anymore.

"Medicine." Situ Ai said to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu hesitated before he said, "Princess, this is the first time in ten years that you've —"

"Medicine." Only then did Xiao Yu give a white bottle to Situ Ai. Situ Ai opened the bottle and poured out a blue pill from inside, and fed it to the Duke of Beichen. After doing all of this, his tense face finally looked a little better.

Bei Zhen Yan walked over and asked: "Ai Ai, is my son alright?"

"Brother Jue will wake up in an hour."

Bei Chen Yan let out a heavy breath and said to Situ Ai, "Ai Ai, it's fortunate that your medical skills are high. Otherwise, my son would —" Bei Chen Yan could not finish his words.

"Big brother Jue's martial arts is so high, how could he have suffered such heavy injuries?" Situ Ai asked.

Bei Chenyan's expression froze, and he immediately said, "When we were hunting, my son accidentally encountered a tiger, which was why he was injured like this."

"Then —" Situ Ai's gaze swept across the group of servants, but he didn't say anything.

With a single gesture from Beichen, they retreated. Yan Qingcheng looked deeply at the Duke of Beichen and left as well.

"Ai Ai, if you have any questions, feel free to ask."

Situ Ai replied, "Uncle Bei Chen, big brother Jue has Gu worms in his body, the Jade Bead Descends Gu worm." Then he looked at Bei Chen Yan, as if he was waiting for an answer.

Beichen took a glance at the man on the bed and said, "I don't know about this, but he won't tell me about many of the things that happened with my son. Can you dispel the Gu worm on him?"

"It's just that it's difficult to solve the problem."

Beichen's eyes immediately lit up: "As long as it can be cured, it's good. Ai Ai Ai, just tell me what you want. No matter what it is, I will definitely go find it."

Situ Ai's eyes drooped. "Uncle Bei Chen, dissolving this Gu requires not only rare and precious medicines, but also time and people. Therefore, it's not something that can be removed immediately. It's something that needs to wait."

Beichen Yan immediately became silent.

Silence descended upon the room once more. Suddenly, Beichen said, "It's good that you can solve it. Then, Ai Ai, please stay with my wife. I'll go take a look at the Empress."

Situ Ai nodded his head. When Beichen was completely gone, Situ Ai extended his hand and grabbed Beichen's hand. His voice was filled with sadness, but also harshness, "Big Brother Jue, how did you get yourself into such a state? If I didn't suddenly run over to see you, if I had been one step late, then I would have never seen big brother Jue again. Big Brother Jue, you're so bad …" As he spoke, he began to cry, looking like a sad and wronged girl. Chu Feng was pitiful.

However, an hour later, the Duke of Beichen was finally awake.

"Big brother Jue." He hugged him happily.

The Duke of Beichen opened his eyes, and was stunned for a moment. He stared at the person on his back, and his eyes glinted with a cold light. Situ Ai was still tightly hugging the Duke of Bei Chen, looking like a willful child as he said, "Big brother Jue, I miss you so much. You didn't even come to see me, yet I came to visit you, and yet you're so seriously injured." As he spoke, he glared at the Duke of Northern Chen.

Lord Beichen smiled with a hint of frivolity in his smile, "Ai'er, didn't you already see me?!"

Situ Ai didn't bother with him and continued to chat and laugh with him, looking very happy.

A hand reached out from the Duke of Beichen to Situ Ai's back. Suddenly, he exerted some force, and Situ Ai gently laid on his body without making a sound.

Duke Bei Chen stood up, placed Situ Ai to the side and shouted, "Cheng'er!"

Yan Qingcheng walked out from a corner of the room and stood in front of the Duke of Beichen. She looked at him with a complicated expression; there was happiness and deep affection, as if she was no longer the smiling beauty who rode the same horse as the Duke of Beichen.

"Little Nono was taken away by Icemountain." As he said so, the tone of the Duke was firm.

"Yes." Yan Qingcheng replied. She opened her mouth wanting to say something, only to see that Duke Beichen had already begun to dress himself. In the end, he still voiced out, "Your Highness, you …"

Beichen merely raised his head to glance at Yan Qingcheng, the resolution in his eyes clearly visible. Yan Qingcheng only lowered her face slightly as she spoke, "My prince, Cheng'er will help you to wear it." Saying so, he stepped forward to help the Duke of Northern Chen put on his clothes.

After dressing, Yan Qingcheng gently asked, "Is Your Highness going to find Su Nuo?"

"Mm, if I don't save little Nuo this time, little Nuo will die." As he said that, his gaze became distant. "Moreover, after this awakening, I feel that I have become greedy. I also hope that Xiao Nuo can accompany me by my side, talk to me, and smile at me. "Besides, I still can't bear to see my little Nuo just die in front of me. I … still can't help her."

Yan Qingcheng didn't say anything, only listening. Her eyes were like the autumn waters, filled with sorrow.

The Duke of Beichen retracted his expression and said, "Cheng'er, go and check the woman beside Icemountain. I suspect that she drugged Xiao Nuo. There was something amiss with her when she came to see me today."

"Yes."

The Duke of Beichen spoke again, "If it really is her, then kill her. I don't need to harm Little Nuo's people to survive." His eyes were ice-cold.

"Yes." Yan Qingcheng replied.

If she had been so angry at the beginning that she couldn't respond, then in this period of time, regardless of what she had seen or experienced, everything was enough to leave her speechless.

In the face of Duke Bei Zhen's unfeeling and deep emotions, what else could she say and what could she stop, she just could not do anything.

Suddenly, Yan Qingcheng raised her head and said to Lord Beichen, "She already knows."

Beichen's brows creased as he stared at Yan Qingcheng. Yan Qingcheng continued, "I've already told Prince Su that you've always loved her and done many things for her."

The Duke was silent, his expression unreadable.

Yan Qingcheng waited like that for a while, before the Northern Duke gently smiled, "No wonder my little Xiao Nuo came to visit me." He then turned to Yan Qingcheng and said, "Ah, Cheng'er, perhaps I've really become greedy this time around."

Yan Qingcheng replied, "Your Highness, in front of our relationship, everyone is greedy."

The Duke of Beichen did not say a word, and made a gesture with his hand to have Yan Qingcheng leave. After an unknown amount of time, he also opened the door and left.
