Yan Yuan had never been so afraid in his life before, he was afraid that she would die in his arms just like that.
The fear of being trapped in the icehouse, the fear of being unable to move, pervaded his entire body.
The next moment, he spat out another mouthful of black blood.
Liu Ruo Qing was still conscious, but that palm on her back stung so much that she wanted to die.
After those people left, Liu Ruo Qing heaved a sigh of relief, and loosened her arms that were hugging Yan Yuan.
She raised her eyes to look at Yan Yuan. At the corner of his mouth, there was still some black colored blood.
"Speak …" Yan Yuan... "
Her trembling hands wanted to wipe away the black blood at the corner of Yan Yuan's mouth. That black blood would arouse the deepest level of fear in her heart.
Only now did she know that in this world, there was one thing that she was more afraid of than death, and that was Yan Yuan was dead.
She had always felt that in this world, what she valued the most was her own life. She had never thought that she would one day risk her life to protect someone else from danger.
In the instant before the palm strike landed, she didn't even think about it.
But at this moment, she finally knew how deep Yan Yuan had sunk into her heart.
She was willing to die for him. As long as he was fine, she was willing to do anything.
At this moment, despite the pain in her shoulder, she smiled happily.
"You still dare to laugh?"
Yan Yuan's eyes turned red, he endured the pain in his heart that had not faded, and lifted her up, walking towards the big bed.
Just then, Wang Xuan Ling and the rest rushed in, seeing that Yan Yuan was fine, they heaved a sigh of relief.
"Prince, are you hurt?"
Qi Feng rushed over and when he saw the puddle of blood on the ground, his face changed.
"Call Lu Yuan He over."
Yan Yuan's voice was a little weak, because of the fatal pain in his heart, and the continuous pain, coupled with the palm which Liu Ruo Qing had blocked for him just now, caused all the blood in his body to flow, and that poison, became even stronger in his heart.
"Yes."
Just as Qi Feng turned around, Lu Yuan He ran over quickly. Seeing the scene in front of him, his face also changed.
"Prince …"
"Come here."
Lu Yuan He walked up and examined him, but his expression was not too ugly.
He placed a small porcelain bottle beside Liu Ruo Qing and fed her another pill. Then, he turned around and said to Yan Yuan, "Your Highness, don't worry.
Hearing Lu Yuan He's words, the panic in the depths of Yan Yuan's eyes calmed down a little.
However, Lu Yuan He did not look too good as the way he looked at Yan Yuan caused everyone to be worried.
"Your Highness, let this commoner take a look for you."
Yan Yuan was startled, when he recalled what happened just now, he knew of his own situation, and immediately stood up.
Lowering his brows, he said to Liu Ruo Qing: "Rest well first, I'll accompany you in a while."
Liu Ruo Qing did not force her. She knew that Yan Yuan wanted to avoid her and not let her hear the situation he was in.
But Liu Ruo Qing himself knew this very well, so she silently nodded her head.
After Yan Yuan left the room, Liu Ruo Qing lowered her eyes as tears welled up in her eyes.
After Lu Yuan He finished taking Yan Yuan's pulse, the solemn expression on his face became even more intense.
"How is it?"
"Your Royal Highness, your poison …" "I'm afraid …"
Lu Yuan He did not dare to continue, but everyone present could tell that the poison was not easy to cure.
Not to mention the solution, it might very well take his life.
"Doctor Lu, please think of another way. Your highness mustn't let anything happen to him, Doctor Lu!"
Seeing Lu Yuan He's expression, Qi Feng started to panic.
Although Qi Feng was Yan Yuan's bodyguard, he was still a Rank 5 military officer, but his eyes were completely red. The fear that he did not have when he was fighting the enemies had now crawled all over his face.
"General Qi, this commoner …" This commoner really has no other choice, wait … Wait for this commoner to go through some ancient medical books and see if I can find a way for him. "
Lu Yuan He really did not dare to easily use this method. To Yan Yuan, this was even more cruel than death.
Fortunately, Zi Yan Luo's poison was tricky and wouldn't easily take a person's life. However, the kind of torture that could kill someone was extremely powerful.
Thus, he still had time to find a more suitable method to cure the prince.
Other than Yan Yuan, the expressions of everyone else drooped.
Yan Yuan was already mentally prepared. Regarding his own life and death, he didn't really care.
Only, before he died, he had to think of a way for Qing Er to leave safely.
"This King will go in first. You should rest early as well. We still have to leave tomorrow."
"Yes, Your Highness."
When Yan Yuan returned to his room, he found that Liu Ruo Qing was still awake. The faint feeling of pain from her shoulder made it impossible for her to fall asleep.
When Yan Yuan came in, she still had his eyes open, and looked at him as he walked towards her with a smile at the corner of his mouth.
After spitting out blood, his face was still pale.
Yan Yuan sat down beside her and held her hand tightly. His fingertips caressed the bangs on Liu Ruo Qing's forehead as he said, "Why aren't you resting? Can't sleep? "
Liu Ruo Qing nodded, she wanted to stand up, but even though her shoulders were moving, she was in so much pain that her eyebrows were knitted tightly, and she was unable to get up even after moving a few times.
"Don't get up. Lie still."
Yan Yuan saw through her thoughts and reached out to press his hand on her shoulder.
"But I'm not comfortable lying down. Help me up, I'll sit for a while."
Her voice was low, and because he was injured, her voice sounded a little weak, more like he was acting coquettishly, causing Yan Yuan to be a little reluctant to refuse.
"Alright, then I'll allow you to sit for a while."
Yan Yuan bent down and carefully helped Liu Ruo Qing up, but he did not let go of her. Instead, he wrapped his arms around her and let her lean on his shoulder.
"Don't do that again next time, you hear?"
Yan Yuan's solemn voice sounded out above Liu Ruo Qing's head. In the tone that was filled with reproach, it was mixed with a bit of tenderness and lingering fear.
Fortunately, it was just a shoulder wound. If it was a injury to the internal organs …
Yan Yuan did not dare think about it, although these people could not be considered top class experts, their abilities were not low either. If he were to land a palm on her internal organs, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Liu Ruo Qing leaned into his embrace, not caring at all about his words, "If you don't listen to what I say, then what right do I have to listen to you?"
Yan Yuan's body stiffened. He felt a little helpless towards her "forcing words to reason".
"I'm a man, I should be the one protecting you. When did I need a woman to protect you?"
Hearing that, Liu Ruo Qing raised her head from his embrace and glared at him in dissatisfaction. She reached out and pinched his arm fiercely, "Are you underestimating me?"
Even though Liu Ruo Qing knew that he did not mean it that way, she still rebuked him.
