Nuo Lan did not look at her again, and closed her eyes for a long time. Only when Xi Ya was pulled down by the guards and could no longer hear her voice did she once again open her eyes, look at the Housekeeper Xu at the side who had not left, and ask: "How is Bull Guard doing now?"

"Reporting to the princess, there's no improvement at all."

Nuo Lan had also heard that Yan Yuan went to the palace late at night to ask for the thousand year Snow Ginseng, he knew how important the Bull Guard was to him, and upon hearing that his injuries did not change at all, he closed his eyes, and in the end, could not say a word.

It was all because of her. If she hadn't picked Xi Ya up and raised him, if she hadn't listened to Xiao Jiu, and brought Xi Ya and Duo Ya out of the seedling grounds, all of this might not have happened.

Seeing Nuo Lan's current state, Housekeeper Xu could not bear to do so. After hesitating for a moment, he consoled him: "Princess, you do not need to blame yourself. This was all done by Xi Ya that deranged man, my Prince will not blame you."

Nuo Lan smiled bitterly. Xiao Jiu couldn't blame her, it wasn't important, but she would live her whole life blaming herself.

He originally thought that after Dong Dan left and Duo Ya left, there would still be a Xi Ya by her side who could depend on each other for life. However, he didn't expect that the only hope he had left, would actually be that person who directly pushed her into the abyss of darkness.

"I'll be leaving first. Take good care of Little Jiu."

"Yes, respectfully send Grand Princess off."

Xi Ya's death did not cause much of a stir, and no one dared to spread even half a word of it. It was as if a small stone had been thrown into the ocean, and could not stir the slightest bit.

"Useless fool!"

When Ye Man heard the news of Xi Ya's death, he had only coldly said those words, not even a hint of sadness or regret.

This time, Ye Man's losses were heavy, and spent a large sum of money to invite the second and third ranked experts of night gate. In the end, one of them actually died by Yan Yuan's hands, and that was whatever, he obtained nothing, and even lost his own disciple.

Ye Man clenched his teeth in anger, it was a pity that the news from the King Jing Palace was kept a secret, it would not be easy for him to find out about some things.

If things continued like this, he was afraid that he would not be able to accomplish anything great, and all of the things he currently possessed would be gone.

As long as he didn't die a day, wouldn't feel at ease. He really didn't expect that there would be such a powerful person by Qin Xuan's side, what's the use of letting that guy follow Yan Yuan?

Yan Yuan knew very well what the Nanling and the xieqing were planning to do. They would fight in this battle sooner or later, but he didn't know what kind of opportunity they were going to find.

Although the Easternum did not have any reactions, Yan Yuan already knew that the imperial government was already prepared. If this continued, the situation would become dire.

With that in mind, Ye Man could no longer sit still, "All of you stay in the capital to guard. I'll go to Nanling to meet Prime Minister Ren and then make my plans."

"Yes."

When Yan Yuan placed the last snow ginseng into Liu Ruo Qing's mouth, it was already his tenth day in a coma.

This was his last hope. He had guarded over her for so many days, looked forward to so much, but she still had no way of waking up?

He had waited for so long, and when she finally returned, she was going to abandon him again?

"I won't let you abandon me again. If you leave, I will follow you to drink Grandma Meng's Elixir with you and go to the Road to the River Styx. I heard that the road is very dark and difficult to walk on."

He gently kissed her cold fingertips without touching her, causing Yan Yuan's heart to feel suffocated.

"In the next life, let's get to know each other earlier. A childhood sweetheart, we can spend longer together than we have in this life, okay?"

He looked at her and smiled gently, but his eyes were full of sadness.

Liu Ruo Qing seemed to have heard his voice and her brows furrowed a little. Her fingers moved a few times as if she wanted to pull him back and not let him do something stupid.

"Yan Yuan, don't... "Don't..."

This was the first time she had opened his mouth to speak since she had been unconscious for ten days. Even though his mind was not completely awake, Yan Yuan was so excited that he was crying.

"Qing Er, I'm here, I'm here. You heard me, didn't you? You'll wake up, won't you? "

He was currently extremely agitated, but he did not dare to clench his fist too tightly, afraid that he would hurt her.

"Qing Er, do you know? You are a very good mother, Heng Er is well protected by you, wake up and see if he is alright? "

"Mm …"

Liu Ruo Qing moaned quietly, "Alright …"

She tried her best to open her eyes, but her eyelids moved with difficulty. Finally, she opened her eyes, and the blurry vision gradually became clear. She saw a gaunt and emaciated face, the contours of which had become more defined because of her emaciation.

Her mind went blank, and when she saw the face, she subconsciously called out, "Yan Yuan."

"Yes, it's me, Qing Er, it's me, it's me …"

Yan Yuan nodded excitedly, as happy as a child. As he kissed her face, his tears fell.

Hot, scalding tears fell onto Liu Ruo Qing's face, instantly turning ice-cold.

Liu Ruo Qing frowned, as though she was disgusted, she moved her face to the side and said: "You're so hateful, I'm so tired, and I still need to sleep …"

"Alright, alright. You sleep, you sleep."

Yan Yuan looked at the child-like expression of dissatisfaction on her face and his initial light smile turned into a foolish one. The tears in his eyes had not faded as he continued to repeat the words, "I'm awake … "I'm awake …"

After a moment, he quickly opened the door and walked outside, "Someone, call Mr. Lu over."

Then, he hurriedly walked back to the bedside, caressed her thin cheeks and said gently: "Qing Er be good, and go to sleep peacefully. I will protect you here, so no one will come to hurt you again."

Liu Ruo Qing woke up in a daze, but quickly fell asleep again.

When Lu Yuan He came over, Yan Yuan was sitting on the side of the bed as he stared at her.

Thinking about the strange pulse he had that day, Lu Yuan He's gaze drooped down. He stepped forward and called out in a low voice, "Your Highness."

Yan Yuan regained his senses, but did not give a seat to Lu Yuan He. Instead, he held onto Liu Ruo Qing's hand and gave it to Lu Yuan He, "Mr. Lu, take a look at her situation."

"Yes."

Lu Yuan He was unable to see his face from Lu Yuan He's angle. When he pressed his finger on Liu Ruo Qing's wrist, the pulse this time was much stronger than last time, and much clearer. It could be seen that the thousand year Snow Ginseng had truly taken effect.
