"You … Did this mean he was repaying the debt of gratitude to Xiao Yuxuan? If that's the case, then forget it! " Qian Ruming's heart turned cold. If it was Qing Lan's alms, then he didn't need it.
The pirates sat across from Qian Ru Ming.
"Tell me, why did you ask for Xiao Yuxuan?" The gentle voice lacked the disgust from before, but it had an indescribable emotion. Qian Ruming looked at Qing Lan in a daze.
"I don't want you to take the risk." Qian Ru Ming had never thought of using Xiao Yu Xuan's matter to gain Qing Lan's gratitude, so he said this in a perfunctory manner.
"It has nothing to do with me?" Qing Lan asked suspiciously.
"Of course not!" Qian Ru Ming felt a burst of panic in his heart. In the end, Qing Lan still cared about Xiao Yu Xuan.
"Since it has nothing to do with me, why should I return the favor for Imperial Physician Zheng …" A smile appeared on Qing Lan's face as she threw herself into Qian Ruming's arms once again. This time, Qian Ruming heard it clearly. He was naturally overjoyed. No matter how crazily the addiction spread, his heart was even crazier. The embroidered tent continued to sway, and the figure of the phoenix was extremely clear. Merry sounds came from within the small building from time to time, and the two hearts finally touched each other without any distance separating them.
When he returned to the Imperial Hospital, Zheng Xianzi placed Xiao Yuxuan on the bed. When he returned, he clearly saw Duan Zitong pacing back and forth in front of the Imperial Hospital's main entrance. Since Qian Ru Ming had already exchanged blood for Xiao Yuxuan, he naturally wouldn't appear for ten days.
Zheng Tingze hesitated for a moment before heading towards the palace gate.
"This humble official pays his respect to the Seventh Princess." Zheng Jingtian spoke humbly, his eyes unperturbed.
"I know I shouldn't have come, but I'm really worried. Even Qing Lan didn't report back to the palace according to my instructions, so I went outside the imperial hospital to check. She didn't intend to go in!" Duan Zitong explained anxiously, afraid that her actions would affect them.
"Princess, there is no need to be anxious. In fact, this humble subject has already replaced Prince Consort's blood with blood last night. Prince Consort's life has been saved, but …" Zheng Tingze suddenly thought of Qinglan's entrustment and hesitated to speak.
"But what?" Duan Zitong's heart leaped to her throat as she looked at Zheng Ting Ze with eyes full of terror. The hand that held the silk handkerchief had long ago twisted it into an unbearably creased shape.
"Don't worry, Princess. It's just that Lady Qinglan was poisoned by the blood of Prince Consort Ma and was unable to hold on for a while, so she perished." Zheng Tingze sighed.
"Qing Lan …" I will not mistreat her. I will definitely bury her. What about Prince Consort? Can I go back now? Is it better? " Although Duan Ziteng was grateful towards Qing Lan, it was only in a smooth manner. To her, other than Xiao Yuxuan, she wouldn't care about anyone else's life.
"Prince Consort Ma can naturally receive help from the princess' estate to recuperate, but this humble subject has no choice but to remind the princess that if Prince Consort were to absorb more Five Stones Powder this time, he wouldn't even have the chance to change his blood. Princess, remember this well. " Zheng Tingze spoke with utmost sincerity. However, Duan Zitong might not be able to control Xiao Yuxuan's attitude.
"Of course!" Duan Zitong nodded her head urgently and immediately walked around Zheng Xianze towards the imperial hospital. Inside the room, Xiao Yuxuan was awake, but his weak body wasn't strong enough for him to get out of bed and leave.
"Yu Xuan!" Her gentle voice was filled with great surprise. As she looked at Xiao Yuxuan's rosy face, Duan Zitong's uneasy heart finally felt at ease. Xiao Yuxuan was speechless. The moment she saw Duan Zitong, the light in her eyes dimmed.
"Five Rock Powder …" The hoarse voice whispered the words that Duan Zitong didn't want to hear the most. Xiao Yuxuan just laid there quietly without even raising his head to look at him.
"Yuxuan, you can't absorb the Five Stones Powder anymore. To save you, Qinglan has already lost her life. Can't you just turn back?" If you drink it again, you will die for sure! "I'm begging you, no matter what request you have, as long as you can stop using the Five Rock Powder, I'll agree to anything you want!" Her firm voice contained great expectations and desires. She really wanted to see Xiao Yuxuan nod, even if it would be a response. However, he was still lying there quietly, not moving at all.
Xiao Yuxuan's heart had a tinge of sadness in it. He had never thought that his wholehearted pursuit of death would directly harm Miss Qing Lan; this wasn't what he wanted. Even so, he still didn't have the determination to give up. Seeing that Xiao Yuxuan didn't respond, Duan Zitong suddenly stood up, his gaze deep and unfathomable.
"Yuxuan, I can prove to you that as long as you're alive, I'm willing to do anything!" Her ice-cold voice carried a trace of absolute determination. After finishing her sentence, Duan Zitong turned around and left the imperial hospital.
"Princess, aren't you going to take Prince Consort away?" At the door, Zheng Ting Ze asked suspiciously.
"I'll be right back. During this period of time, I mustn't let any mishaps happen to Prince Consort!" Without waiting for Zheng Tingze's orders, Duan Zitong had already left in large strides, but her destination was not the Phoenix Storage Pavilion.
In the Xiao manor, Duan Mu Yan, Yao'er, and Zi Min were discussing their next plan when someone suddenly knocked on the door.
"Esteemed wangfei, the Seventh Princess has arrived and is …" Before the maidservant could finish her report, the door was violently pushed open from the outside.
Duan Mu Yan couldn't help but be stunned. When she raised her gaze, she saw Duan Zitong appear before her with a furious expression.
"Princess?" Zi Min spoke as she stood in front of Duan Mu Yan. Duan Mu Yan gently smiled, gesturing Yao'er and Zi Min to leave.
Duan Zitong stood there with an ice-cold expression on her face, while her beautiful eyes were filled with intense hatred. On the other hand, Duan Mu Yan disapproved and leisurely sat by the side of the table with a teacup in her hand as she took a light sip, the calmness on the surface concealing the anxiety in her heart.
"Duan Muyan, I ask you, in your heart, do you still have any feelings for Yuxuan?" Duan Zitong clenched her fists tightly. If there were two methods in this world, she definitely wouldn't be able to stand here.
"As Xiao Yuxuan's wife, the Seventh Princess doesn't think too lightly of herself to ask such questions …" Duan Muyun replied calmly, her expression as calm as a calm lake.
"It's not that I'm underestimating myself, it's that you've seduced Yu Xuan too deeply!" Duan Zitong walked step by step towards the front of Duan Mu Yan.
"The sudden visit of the Seventh Princess shouldn't be because of this matter, right?" Seeing the anger in Duan Zitong's eyes, Duan Mu Yan actually felt a trace of happiness in her heart. She still vaguely remembered that day in the Imperial Garden when someone broke apart mufei's medicine. That day she was weak.
"Thanks to you, Yu Xuan became addicted to drugs and is now very ill. If we don't get him cured soon, she'll definitely die." Even though she was unwilling, Duan Zitong still told her the truth. Originally, she had thought that when she heard the news, Duan Mu Yan would be astonished, kneeling down and begging her to let her see Xiao Yu Xuan. Unfortunately, Duan Mu Yan remained as calm as ever, not even slightly shaking the teacup in her hand.
Mu Yan was also speechless. It's just that the princess seems to have gone to the wrong place, so shouldn't you come to Supreme Splendor Hall? To complain to royal father and to punish me for my crimes, isn't that better than you insulting me here? " Duan Moyan looked at Duan Zitong with slight disdain. Her heart, however, felt as if it had been heavily rammed by someone. It had only been half a month since Qinglan reported the news, how could Xiao Yuxuan possibly be in danger?
"You! Now is not the time to punish them. I want you to persuade Yuxuan to quit! "Right away!" Duan Zitong said bitterly. He had obviously gotten lucky, but he still acted like he didn't care.
"It is really unfortunate, Mu Yan had already made arrangements today, and the forbidden grounds of the imperial palace is not a place for a wife like me to go. If not for Imperial Father's order, Mu Yan would have taken a step forward." In that instant, Duan Mu Yan admitted that Duan Zitong's love for Xiao Yuxuan was no less than hers. To be able to come to the Xiao family and ask for her help was already the limit that Duan Zitong could bear.
"Do you want to see Xiao Yuxuan die without a care for his?" He was suddenly afraid. If Duan Mu Yan wasn't willing to help, Xiao Yuxuan definitely wouldn't have stopped addicting drugs. He had already seen Xiao Yuxuan walk through the gates of hell once, and she really couldn't watch his soul leave his body.
"Prince Consort Ma is the younger brother of Senior Feng, so how could Mu Yan be such a heartless person." Prince Consort Ma is the younger brother of Senior Feng, so how could Mu Yan be such a ruthless person. However, her heart was filled with the desire to fly to Xiao Yuxuan's side like an arrow. How could the friendship between childhood and childhood be forgotten so easily?
"As long as you agree to my request, I assure you that the problem you are worried about will not occur! If anyone dares to spout nonsense, I will definitely exterminate their entire clan! " Duan Zitong's tone became gentler, not as domineering as before.
"Since the princess is so righteous, then Mu Yan has another presumptuous request. During the time that Mu Yan is trying to persuade her prince consort, the princess cannot meet her prince nor can she disturb Mu Yan. If you agree, then Mu Yan will agree to the princess' request. If not, then even if the princess were to report Mu Yan to royal father, it would be useless! " The light in her eyes could not be refused.
Duan Zitong was dumbfounded. Agree? Wouldn't that give Xiao Yuxuan and Duan Mu Yan the chance to revive! Disagree... Yu Xuan was doomed.
"Good!" I promise you! However, there was only one month left! One month from now, I want to see a lively Prince Consort! " Duan Zitong firmly believed that if Duan Mu Yan was here, Xiao Yu Xuan would definitely get better.
"This Mu Yan cannot be guaranteed, but Mu Yan will do her best." Duan Mu Yan replied indifferently, as he silently exhaled a long breath of air. How long had it been since he last saw Yu Xuan?
"Pack your things and follow me to the royal hospital!" Duan Zitong couldn't wait any longer as she spoke in a rush. Speechless, Duan Mu Yan placed her teacup down and walked to the door. No one noticed that the teacup was already covered with Duan Mu Yan's sweat.
"Zi Min, Yao'er!" Under Duan Mu Yan's command, the two of them pushed open the door and entered.
"Help me pack up some necessities, I'm going to the royal hospital to stay for a while." Zi Min and Yao'er looked at each other, but didn't dare to be negligent. After everything was ready, Duan Mu Yan and Duan Zitong left the Xiao manor together.
Entering the palace once again, Duan Mu Yan couldn't help but sigh with emotion. On that day, if it wasn't for Duan Xingyi saving her, she was afraid that she would have already died at the hands of that lofty man. Perhaps she had obtained something from him.
