The sky was a sea of fiery red, the extended forest was instantly engulfed in flames, the wild beasts deep within the forest were fleeing in all directions, the birds were wailing, and the Kongtong Valley located in the heart of the flames was strangely tranquil.

Those who were charred by the fire didn't struggle at all as they laid down everywhere, allowing the flames to turn their entire Kongtong Valley into ashes.

Suddenly, a voice rang out from within the fire, mixed with a sobbing female voice that resounded throughout the entire valley, "Father! Mother! Wake up! Wake up! "Don't leave Jiu Er alone, Jiu'er is afraid …"

The charred branches crackled as though they were mocking the girl's weakness. In the next instant, the thick branches that brought along sparks smashed straight into the girl's head, leaving her behind in the fire …

"Hu hu …" Mu Jiuer suddenly woke up, his entire body drenched in sweat, looking at the top of the bed with a powerless look in his eyes.

She once again dreamt of that huge fire that was held by her Kongtong Valley back then. That huge fire had taken the lives of her entire clan, and she was the only one that was saved by Qin Yan.

But sadly, he only saved her because her body could save that woman. Otherwise, he would have certainly killed her long ago and paid with his life for the person he loved.

"Cough, cough …" A gust of cold wind blew in, piercing through Mu Jiuer's thin blanket and landing on her thin body, causing her to tremble uncontrollably.

She brushed her forehead, which had already lost its fever, and looked at the broken seat and the air leaking out of the doors and windows. The corners of her mouth curled into a bitter smile.

She had returned to the cold palace.

She suddenly thought of what Qin Yan had said to her five years ago, "We can take you in, but you have to stay in this cold palace, because you must remember that you are just Mingyue's medicine!"

Just a single pill, how laughable. They were clearly childhood friends, and they had known each other since childhood. However, an unknown woman had taken over his heart midway.

But even if it was only being used by him, even if he was speaking maliciously to her, she was still willing to stay by her side. She no longer had other family members, she only had him.

Mu Jiuer took out the white jade pendant he had given her when he was young and gently caressed it, as if he was that man in front of him.

Coincidentally, the maid saw that Mu Jiuer had woken up, and remembered Wei Ming's instructions. She immediately went to call the imperial physician to diagnose Mu Jiuer's condition.

Qin Yan also entered with the imperial physician. Surprise appeared in his eyes; he had never stepped into this cold palace before.

"Someone come!" Hold her down for This Emperor! " Before she could react, Qin Yan's cold voice sounded out.

"There is one more year before the opening season of the Bone Birth Flower. During this year, you will have to bleed every day and wash Brightmoon's marrow. After one year, you will cut off your flesh and feed it to Brightmoon, allowing her to wake up." The man seemed to be thinking about the scene when Yin Mingyue woke up. His eyes revealed excitement, but he still spat out words that made Mu Jiuer feel as if he was frozen.

"I don't want it." Mu Jiuer stared straight into Qin Yan's eyes, wanting to see a hint of regret, a pleading look.

Qin Yan looked down at her from above and ridiculed, "What right do you have to say such words to us? It was you who killed Mingyue, how can you have the face to tell me that you don't want it? "

"I said I didn't kill her." Mu Jiuer felt a bit wronged, and his eyes turned red when he looked at Qin Yan.

Why didn't he believe it? She had never killed anyone before, so why was she always that wicked woman in his eyes?

When the woman's sorrowful expression fell into Qin Yan's eyes, it immediately made him restless. He slightly raised his hand and shouted, "Do it!" Saying that, he turned around, not wanting to dirty his eyes anymore.

The two servants immediately walked forward, wanting to hold down Mu Jiuer, but they did not expect the woman, who had always been so weak, to be so insistent on not letting the two maids near her at all.

"I won't save her!" Mu Jiuer struggled with all his might, and shouted with all his might, "Back then, it was precisely because of her that Kongtong Valley caught on fire, and my entire clan died inside. I won't save her." She hid in a corner and looked at the people before her with vigilance.

"Heh." A trace of fierceness flashed past Qin Yan's eyes when he saw the useless struggle of a woman. Taking two steps forward, he grabbed Mu Jiuer's arm that was waving around, brought her before him and coldly stared at her eyes as he said, "Who let Kongtong Valley be flooded by fire, who harmed your clansmen, are you really not clear in your heart?"

Mu Jiuer's eyes flashed with a trace of confusion, her lips slightly trembled as she shook her head, "It's her, if it wasn't her, who else would it be?"

Qin Yan sneered, and let go of the woman, his voice cold and heartless, "It was you yourself, your entire clan caused your death! Because you killed Mingyue, because of your blood, your flesh can cure the bones of living and living dead, and it was you who killed them! "

Mu Jiuer closed his eyes in pain, his entire being seemed to have been drained of all of his energy, as tears started streaming down soundlessly.

That's right, she was the one who died. Her clansmen died to protect her, and she was the one who deserved death the most. But was it her fault for being Four Spirits's bloodline? Was that a reason for him to hurt her?

Mu Jiuer raised his eyes to look at Qin Yan, and said in a miserable tone, "What about you? Don't you have any feelings for me other than the desire for my flesh and blood? "

"No. A woman like you is not even a hair's breadth away from the bright moon. Heh, you actually want to attract my attention, your actions will only make you more like a clown. " Qin Yan's mocking gaze landed on the woman, and his words were extremely harsh, "Also, don't forget, the reason we took you in was because you can save Mingyue. Don't forget your identity, you are just Mingyue's medicine!"

"Heh …" Hearing that, Mu Jiuer's face became extremely ugly, but she started laughing in a low voice. She laughed at her own foolishness, at being trampled on by others, and really wanted to ask Qin Yan what kind of woman she really was. But right now, her heart was aching so badly that she couldn't even say a word.

Qin Yan saw that the lady's face was growing even paler, and felt a sense of irritation in his heart. He frowned and turned his body, not looking at her anymore, and ordered coldly, "Hurry up and do it!"

This time, the two servants took their leave. The two robust guards held Mu Jiuer down, raised their hands and drew a line on her arm, filling it with blood.

Mu Jiuer looked at the blood dripping down his wrist, his entire body still without moving, his eyes glazed over like a dead man's.

When he left, he cast a sidelong glance at Mu Jiuer, who had a death wish, and threatened in a low voice, "If you want to die, I don't mind flaying the bones of the two remaining clansmen of your Kongtong Clan, and letting them pay for Mingyue's death."

Clan members?

Mu Jiuer's eyes slowly lit up. Does she still have relatives? She ignored the wound on her wrist, ran and crawled to Qin Yan's side and grabbed onto the corner of his clothes, then shook it frantically, "Where are they? Tell me where they are. "

Qin Yan looked at the woman beside his feet who had lost control and said coldly, "As long as you let Mingyue bleed properly and cut her flesh, I will naturally guarantee that they will be safe and sound. But if..."

Before he finished speaking, Mu Jiuer had already kneeled in front of him, "I beg you, please let them go, I will definitely let them go." Every time he spoke a word, he would ruthlessly bang his head on the ground to beg for mercy. After a few times, he licked a fresh wound on his forehead, causing it to bleed profusely.

"Enough!" Qin Yan shook the lady off in front of him, then fiercely stared at the wound on her forehead and coldly said, "Take care of your own blood, your clan members will naturally be fine, understand?" After speaking, he no longer paid any attention to the woman on the ground. With a flick of his sleeve, he stepped out of the cold palace.

After Mu Jiuer was let go of the blood, she was extremely weak. After going through all this, she had no more strength left, and other than rejoicing that she was still useful to Qin Yan, there was nothing she could do to stop him from injuring her tribesmen. She could only limp on the ground and let the imperial physician treat her.
