When he woke up, he was still in darkness.
It was as if a flame was burning in his throat. Gu Daiyan's mind was in a state of chaos, but he remembered the knife that had stabbed into his shoulder. The nightmare had come true, but it had become the last scene that she could see.
There was no one by the bed, only the chirping of birds.
She shakily stretched out her hand and opened her shirt. There was a sharp scar on her chest. Her heart was also filled with a wriggling scar. She bitterly felt her heart ache.
"I've heard that Dao is broad, but I don't believe it. Now, I believe it …"
She smiled and coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood. The knife's edge was very deep, but it had not even reached half an inch, so if it were lowered, her life would have been with Yun Qingyang. It was just that her chest and abdomen were aching, and her throat was on fire, but she was too lazy to bother with it.
He felt his way to the familiar bed and got out of it. His vision was dark, and his fear was still there.
She covered her chest and vomited a few mouthfuls of blood before staggering over to the table where she usually got the medicinal ingredients. She took out the Blood Exhaustion Hemostatic Ointment and some medicinal ingredients and stuffed them into her mouth. She took her pulse.
"Pata ~ ~"
A teardrop suddenly fell on the back of her hand, even she herself was stunned for a moment. The medicinal herb in her mouth was extremely bitter, but it was not as bitter as one thousandth of the tears in her heart.
No one could save her.
She was always alone.
She staggered a few steps and fell onto the corner of the table. Her mouth was covered with herbs and she spat them all onto the ground. However, she couldn't even raise her hand.
In the midst of the confusion, Duan Chengyu's voice sounded from outside the door. "Royal Uncle, since you've already calmed down, why have you still come to Phoenix Cry Garden!?" Are you trying to kill her? "
After a moment, the door was pushed open.
Duan Chengxuan was wearing a black robe, and the bloodstain spread from the side of his bed all the way as it dripped onto the medicine table.
Behind him, Duan Chengyu was also shocked by the mess. He turned around to see Duan Chengxuan leaning on the corner of the table as he looked at them with a faint smile. His eyes were lifeless, and the corners of his fingers and even his sleeves were stained with blood.
"Despite knowing that your wounds are so severe, why are you still so determined to get off the bed!"
Before Duan Chengyu could rush forward, Duan Chengxuan was already in front of him. He only managed to lift her up from the ground. "Wan'er …"
"Heh …" Gu Danyan chuckled. He only thought about how the wound would open up again, but he laughed and said, "Why did you have to do this to kill her?"
Gu Danyan felt like his internal organs had shifted places after he was thrown onto the ground.
Duan Chengyu half knelt on the ground to help her up a little. Gu Daiyan's face was covered in tears, but his powerless fingers only held onto Duan Chengyu's wrist tightly. He could only squeeze out a few words from between his teeth: "Someone poisoned me, help me get some herbs."
"How could that be!" Duan Chengyu jumped in shock, but Gu Liuyan immediately vomited out a mouthful of blood while leaning on his chest. She had already lost all of her remaining strength, and she could only grip him with her hands, with the name of a drug and with the name of a drug.
Duan Chengxuan's pupils slightly constricted.
He only took a step forward, wanting to pick her up from the ground, but after hearing her say the names of the medicinal herbs, he could only bury his head in Duan Chengyu's embrace in pain, "Help me …" "Please …"
"Of course I will go!" Duan Chengyu quickly grabbed hold of her shoulder, but he was afraid that Duan Chengxuan would make a move against her again. He only carried his onto the bed, but before he even left, Gu Danyan had already gripped the corner of his clothes. "Thank you."
"You fool." Duan Chengyu rubbed his sore eyes and instructed the people outside to call He Jin over, even more so, he ordered the people outside to bring out all the medicinal ingredients that Gu Daiyan had mentioned earlier, but he didn't dare to leave her side by even half a step.
Duan Chengxuan didn't leave either, and Gu Pingyan fainted in a short while as cold sweat dripped down his face.
"Why do you care so much about her? Right now, you don't even hesitate to send all your soldiers to my prince's mansion." Duan Chengxuan's gaze was dark, and outside the door was pitch black. However, there were countless silver-armored soldiers standing at Phoenix Cry Garden with their heads held high and their chests puffed up.
Duan Chengyu only tucked her in and his voice was ice-cold: "Su Yu Wan has already caused me to lose big sister Ling'er, now, is it still because she killed your legal and proper wife?"
"I didn't want to kill her."
"Do you know how wide your blade is! If she were to take even half a step more, she will die under your blade! " Duan Chengyu was unable to contain his anger, his eyes were blood-red.
On the other hand, Duan Chengxuan's eyes were completely empty. He only raised his head to look at the bright moon outside the window and took a deep breath.
He calmed down and realized that with her ability, she could find tens of thousands of ways to kill Su Yuwan. At that time, he was extremely angry because of Su Yuwan, but it was already too late to regret it now.
"Royal Uncle, Yu'er has never had a request for you since she was young. Now, Yu'er only wishes for you to be magnanimous and let her go." Duan Chengyu only lifted up the hem of his clothes as he knelt before Duan Chengxuan.
Duan Chengxuan's eyes stung. "You're kneeling for a woman?"
"If I had also knelt down before you back then, perhaps you would have been able to send troops to save big sister Ling'er. Now, I will definitely not repeat the same mistake. If this kneel was able to save her life, Yu'er would have sworn her loyalty to you in the future." Duan Chengyu lowered his head.
The brotherly relationship between Duan Ling Tian and Duan Chengyu was exactly like the relationship between him and Su Yu Wan.
Regardless of the vicissitudes of life, Duan Ling'er had been a great benefactor to Duan Chengyu. Back in the Imperial Palace, Duan Chengyu had almost been killed several times due to many illnesses, but it was this heaven blind princess who had helped him avert his tribulations.
But now, after Duan Ling Tian had passed away, he wanted to bestow this favor to Gu Daiyan.
"This King sometimes suspects that she is really a fox."
"However, because she has a kind nature, all the people she makes friends with are also kind people." Duan Chengyu looked at Duan Cheng Xuan with a burning gaze, as he only wanted to obtain a guarantee.
"This King promises you that This King will protect her life no matter what."
"Yu'er thanks Imperial Uncle." Duan Chengyu let out a sigh of relief.
However, he didn't head for Su Yu Wan's room and instead sat in the study by himself. When Cheng Shan came to report that Old mister He had already hurried over with the medicinal ingredients, he only coldly looked at him and said, "Send someone to investigate the matter of the Royal Concubine poisoning."
"She has already sent someone. I am afraid Lady Wan-Er is unable to cure the poison in her body …"
"If we have the Yun clan's secret recipe, everything will be fine." Duan Chengxuan's gaze was ice-cold, and the nearby Cheng Shan's expression sank. Unfortunately, before he could leave, Duan Chengxuan spoke again, "The Yun clan has a child named Qing, who is the adopted son of the imperial concubine. He is not to be touched."
Cheng Shan only nodded and sent people to do this.
Hidden in the darkness, he could only see the scene before him. However, this was the first time he had seen the true face of King Jing.
With the exception of Su Yu Wan, King Jing's decisiveness was merciless.
