A guard quickly walked over. He was Ji Lingxiao's personal bodyguard and had a worried expression on his face.

"What's going on!"

Tan Wu Huan's heart turned cold. He did not wait for the guard's reply and ran towards the house.

Very good, the scene appeared again.

Ji Lingxiao lay there with a pale face, surrounded by the imperial physician.

He had clearly experienced it before. In the past, his injuries were even heavier than this, and there was no pain in his chest. He only knew that the old man's mission would not be completed, yet why was this place so uncomfortable now?

The Tan Wu Huan pressed down on the chest area of her body tightly.

"Get out."

There was no doubt about the coldness in his tone.

For the first time, she knew that she would have such a voice.

"Esteemed wangfei, Duke Ling was poisoned, we can't leave anyone right now …"

"I'll tell the others!"

An explosive shout!

Everyone was scared out of their wits and immediately retreated out of the room.

The Tan Wu Huan walked closer step by step, looking at Ji Ling Xiao who was peacefully sleeping as if he was lifeless.

Even though she knew that he was an immortal, and that he was only transcending tribulation, at most, he wouldn't succeed and would still live on in this world. Yet why did she feel that she was about to lose him …?

As she thought of this, her chest involuntarily tightened. Qin Wu Huan's hands clenched into fists as she stared at the bowl of medicine beside her. After which, she smashed it onto the ground.

The medicine scattered all over the floor, and the blue and white porcelain bowl shattered on the floor. The people outside the room were shocked and looked at each other in dismay, but no one dared to push open the door.

Qin Wuhuan picked up a bowl of dregs and slid it towards her palm. Dark red blood oozed out of it.

In an instant, Tan Wuhuan's legs became unstable as she fell onto the side of the bed.

Although it recovered very quickly, she knew that every time she lost blood, it was because of her Qi. The celestial body relied on Qi; it was only a day in the world, but it was a year in the sky.

However, even though this was the mission that the old man had given her, she had no choice but to save him.

He clenched his hand into a fist and the blood flowed down his hand like a stream, dripping into Ji Lingxiao's mouth.

After an unknown period of time, she thought that it should be enough. In a daze, she fell asleep beside the bed.

The imperial physician, who was standing outside the room, waited through the night. There were no sounds in the room, which made people feel weird and uneasy. The imperial bodyguard knocked on the door a few times, but there was no sound.

As soon as Qu Yi Yan heard that, he went into the courtyard. When they saw him, they immediately paid their respects. However, Qu Yi Yan ignored him and quickly stepped forward to open the door.

It was a shocking scene in front of everyone.

The bed was covered in blood, while the Tan Wu Huan was lying unconscious on the ground, while Ji Lingxiao was lying there as though nothing had happened. Other than the blood at the corner of his mouth, his complexion looked much better than yesterday.

Qu Yi Yan ignored his appearance and quickly walked forward, picking up Tan Wu Huan. At that moment, his eyes were filled with reluctance …

"Imperial Physician!"

Qu Yiyan's shout frightened the imperial physician so much that he crawled in.

A few imperial physicians were working together, one side happy, the other worried.

He was delighted that the poison in Ji Lingxiao's body had been cured, but he was worried that Tan Wuhuan was no longer able to feel his pulse.

In one night's time, the imperial physician didn't understand what was going on.

It was just a conjecture. Qin Wuhuan might have eaten the snow lotus, but blood could detoxify the poison. That was the reason why …

What was unexpected was that two days later, it was actually Tan Wu Huan who woke up first. The imperial physicians took turns to check her pulse and discovered that her pulse was still weak. It was impossible for her to wake up like this.

Qin Wuyi raised his heavy eyelids, and in a daze, shook his head with all his might, then focused on the people in front of him.

"Qu Yi Yan?"

Qin Wuhuan directly called out Qu Yi Yan's name. The people behind her all sighed, but Qu Yi Yan's expression did not change at all. Before this, she even dared to call out to her eldest nephew, so why would she care about this direct address?

"Where is Ji Lingxiao!"

Tan Wu Huan forced herself to swallow and her eyes suddenly opened wide as she recalled the scene before she fell asleep.

"He's fine."

Qu Yi Yan moved to the side, and it was only then that Qin Wuhuan realized that Ji Lingxiao was just a few meters away from her on the bed.

"It's good that you're fine. It's good that you're fine."

After hearing An Xin's words, Qin Wuhuan felt her eyelids twitching. She was truly tired.

"Don't sleep!"

"Retreat!" Qu Yi Yan ordered from the side. Qin Wuhuan was forced back a little. She could not help but roll her eyes at him, but this look was something that Qu Yi Yan would never be able to forget for the rest of his life.

"I'm very sleepy. Let me sleep again."

When Qu Yi Yan saw that her eyelids were about to join together again, he became even more anxious and immediately blurted out a few words.

"The imperial physician said that in the next few hours, uncle will definitely wake up. If you want him to wake up and see your sickly appearance, you can go to sleep."

Goddammit! Upon hearing this, the Tan Wu Huan struggled to keep his eyes open. The corners of his eyes twitched as he glared at Qu Yi Yan.

"You are ruthless!"

Gritting her teeth, the Tan Wu Huan struggled to get up. Her gaze once again landed on Ji Ling Xiao.

Very well, he was alive again.

Tan Wu Yi's heart jumped, but not long later, his face darkened.

"Where are the guards?"

The cold expression on the face of the Tan Wu Huan stunned Qu Yi Yan momentarily, and she immediately called for guards to come in.

The imperial bodyguard knelt on the ground, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at Qin Wentian, who had just awoken.

"What happened that day?"

The guard glanced at Ji Lingxiao in the other direction, but kept his mouth shut, not willing to speak.

"Speak!" The Son of Heaven is here, why didn't you say so? "

Qin Wuhuan did not have her usual smile on her face. The aura around her had turned cold, and the guards naturally could not avoid her.

"Reporting to wangfei, that day when the prince was pursuing the criminal, he didn't believe that it was his subordinate who accidentally injured him."

The guard knocked his head against the ground, while Tan Wuhuan narrowed her eyes into a line.

What kind of hoodlum would want Ji Lingxiao to personally go? To think that he would still be poisoned. This poison... Could it be that …

The words spoken by the guards outside that day suddenly popped up in Tan Wuhuan's mind.

Your Highness, we have already found traces of that person...

Ji Lingxiao knew about the shadow?

Tan Wu Huan's mind was in a mess. She couldn't help but cough twice, and in the end, her entire body felt a tugging pain.

The heck, what is going on? Why can't I sense it previously?

Qin Wuhuan looked at her hands. Since when did her hands become so rough?

"Drink the medicine first. We will send someone to take care of the rest."

Qu Yi Yan, who was sitting at the side, could not bear to hear the heart-wrenching cough, so he gestured for the guards to get off, but how could the dazed Tan Wu Huan let him go like that?

"What kind of criminal?"

Qin Wuhuan took the lead and asked. The guards all had difficult expressions on their faces.

"Speak!"

Tan Wu Huan started to panic as the guards anxiously replied.

I only know that this person is dressed in black and often comes to the back of the mountain. On that day, the king ordered us to go to the mountains to capture him. I didn't expect our entire army to be annihilated and injure him.

Qin Wuhuan's heart sank, he stood there in a daze.

It really is …
