C19

Her high fever had yet to subside, and her small hands were trembling. Her small face seemed to have burrowed under the sleeves of his voluminous robe. A few layers of clothes were pierced through her scalding skin, and she could still feel the heat.

He really didn't want to hand her over. If the one who came wasn't Wang's guard …

Holding her hand tightly, Ling Xue stood beside the bed, but he was powerless.

Ling Qing was pulled up from the bed by the palace maid, unwilling to leave. Even though she had a high fever and a muddled head, she still instinctively looked for the safest place, with her other hand around Ling Xue's waist as she hid her face in his embrace.

Ling Xue's heart was about to burn to pieces.

He bit his lips with all his might and stiffened his body, using all his strength to restrain himself from disobeying the decree.

Ling Xuanxuan wasn't the type of person who was in love with Brother Gu. If he didn't return from the battlefield alive, then he shouldn't dream of taking back Su Xiaoxiao.

"Tsk, who said Miss Su's brain was injured and she was crazy? Don't you still remember your relationship with Xue Hou? " Flower Speaker who was watching coldly from the side smiled and walked to Lan Yi's side. "Xiaoxiao isn't willing to go back to the palace with you, so what should I do?"

"She's just having a fever. Who said she didn't want to go back to the palace?" Ling Xue immediately said in a moment of desperation.

Lan Yi stood and looked at the pitiful young daughter of the general's manor. He couldn't bear to keep his eyes averted as he said to the two palace maids, "Hurry up, don't miss the hour."

"Lord Lan Yi, Miss Su, she …" The palace maids were in a bit of a predicament. Ling Qing seemed to have grown from Ling Xue's body, and they were afraid that if they used too much strength, they would injure her.

"Hugging so tightly, I'm going to be jealous." Flower Speaker pouted her pink lips, as if she was really jealous. He walked over to Ling Tian Qing's side. "Xiaoxiao, you like Big Brother Ling Xue so much, but you don't like me at all?"

Ling Tianqing could not hear anything clearly. She could only hug Ling Xue, unwilling to return to the palace.

But suddenly, a sharp pain came from her recently healed buttocks. The pain made her arms lose their strength. Just as she let go of her hands, her body went numb and she collapsed limply to the ground.

"Flower Speaker!" Because Ling Xue was being carried by Ling Qing, he did not have the time to stop Flower Speaker from slapping his quickly and ruthlessly. His face immediately turned ashen as he ruthlessly sent a palm strike towards Flower Speaker.

"Alright." Lan Yi's figure flashed as he opened Ling Xue's palm. "Fight for the sake of a sinful servant's daughter. Ling Xue, restrain yourself!"

Flower Speaker stood behind Lan Yi with a smile and innocently said: "Xue Hou, I just want Lord Lan Yi to return and report back as soon as possible. After all, Xiaoxiao is with me, delaying the time.

"Lan Yi, Xiaoxiao, she …" Could you immediately summon the royal doctor to treat her once you return to the palace? " Ling Xue didn't want to speak anymore with Flower Speaker. Afraid that he would be angered again, he immediately asked the man in front of his.

"Lingxue, take care of yourself. The matters of the palace are not things that you and I can take care of." Lan Yi frowned slightly and reminded him, "Also, if the king finds out that you were at Hua Hou Manor tonight …" "Anyway, you better pray for yourself."

"But, Xiaoxiao's injuries aren't light. If she isn't treated in time, then I'm afraid …"

"Those whom the King does not wish to keep, will definitely not live another moment." Lan Yi interrupted Ling Xue and said indifferently, "How can we let her die without permission from those who have already been left behind by the King? Ling Xue, as expected, you are in chaos due to concern. "

Ling Xue turned around with a pale face, looking at Ling Tian Qing who was taken out by the palace maid after being hit on the acupuncture point by Flower Speaker, he fell silent.

Yes, he was confused.

It was as if she was still hugging her waist tightly. A few tears were still on her clothes, her palms were still hot from the heat …

He couldn't help but want to rush over and hug her again to give her a warm and quiet life.

But... He could become enemies with the world, but he could not become enemies with that man.

Thank you …" They were the deities of this world, and no one dared to hold the heads of the nine clans against them.

"Lingxue, you're not staying for breakfast?" Flower Speaker asked enthusiastically when she saw Ling Xue walk out without a word.

"Lord Flower, you should also calm down. Tomorrow, Ling Xue will be leaving for battle, and the one who will be the most worried is Su Xiaoxiao. But you, you tormented the little girl to the point where he only had the energy to breathe." Lan Yi turned around and scolded Flower Speaker as usual. He didn't place the most favored Flower Marquis in front of the empress dowager at a high place and still scolded his as usual.

"It's not all because of me. Xue Hou randomly tapped on people's acupoints, and the poison attacked their hearts. The imperial physicians of the Hua family were busy all night. How pitiful." Flower Speaker felt wronged and pointed at her eyes, "Look, I didn't sleep well either …"

"It's all because of you!" Lan Yi shook his head and turned to walk out as well. "I'm going back to report. You better take care of yourself."

"You don't need to order breakfast?" Flower Speaker pursed her lips into a smile and said loudly, "This marquis won't be able to send you off anymore. I often bring your brother to the Hua family, but I miss Lan Feng and Zi Yuan. When they return to the palace, you must notify me …"

Under the bright yellow glazed roof tiles, there was only one corner that was dusky and without any signs of life.

This was the palace where Ling Tian lived.

The Dusk Palace was no different from the Cold Palace.

The young girl who was currently lying on the bed was also on the verge of death.
