Ye Ningxiang and Xiao Qingyu had already sat in the spacious carriage, Xiao Qingyu leaned on the carriage beam, his face was pale and blue, his eyes were half-open, and his breathing became weak as silk.

He deliberately sat in the farthest place from Ye Ningxiang, for fear that the blood he spit out would stain the corners of Ye Ningxiang's clothes. In his hand he clutched a silk handkerchief, which had long since lost its original color, and was stained with dark black blood that had come out of his mouth.

"Childe. ”

Ye Ningxiang wanted to sit next to Xiao Qingyu with tears in her eyes, but was stopped by Xiao Qingyu raising her hand.

"Ning Xiang, don't come here, I'm dirty here. ”

Then there was a series of violent coughs, and a large gulp of dark black blood gushing out.

"Go and change me a silk handkerchief, forget it, just ask Goofy to get me an old clothes that I don't want, so I don't have to toss back and forth." ”

Ye Ningxiang couldn't hold back any longer, ignoring Xiao Qingyu's obstruction, rushed to him, took off her coat directly, and wiped Xiao Qingyu's blood-stained hands and jaw.

"Ning Xiang, why do you do this!"

"What about you, why do you do this! Haven't you always been cold-blooded and mercenary, why do you want to save me when you know the trap?"

"It is inevitable that there will be impulsive times when you are a person, and it is worth it to be impulsive for the beloved woman. ”

His half-open eyes were completely closed, and the person also lost consciousness, leaning heavily into Ye Ningxiang's arms.

Xiao Qingyu was in a coma and woke up like this all the way, woke up and fell into a coma, and spent most of the time in a state of unconsciousness. Whenever Xiao Qingyu woke up, Ye Ningxiang would rush to chat with him, for fear that he would fall asleep again.

Xiao Qingyu was very cooperative, always with Ye Ningxiang, and told Ye Ningxiang all the secrets hidden in his heart for many years.

It turned out that Xiao Qingyu's mother was sent to Rui to prevent disasters as the holy daughter of the Wu clan, but she was favored by the emperor of Rui because of her youth and beauty. The queen was jealous, ruined his mother's appearance, and threw herself in a mass grave to die, but she didn't expect his mother to return to Wuling Valley alive with tenacious perseverance.

In the years that followed, he and his mother were not only looked down upon by the clansmen, but also had to watch out for murder from the Swiss Kingdom. However, when he was seven years old, Su Zhiwu, the commander of the Yulin Forbidden Army, led 20,000 Yulin troops to exterminate the Wu clan, in order to get the scepter that controlled the rise and fall of the world.

And because of his mother's desperate protection, he eventually became the only survivor in the Valley of the Witches.

Hearing this, Ye Ningxiang's eyebrows tightened, and her hands became cold, as if she was trembling slightly. It turned out that her father was not only the murderer of Queen Ruge, but also the murderer of Xiao Qingyu's biological mother. The hero she once admired, the tall and majestic hero in her heart, turned out to be nothing more than an executioner at the mercy of others.

Her mind kept coming back to Su Zhiwu's fatherly kindness to her before her death, and the more she thought about it, the more her heart ached. Unconsciously, she felt that the back of her hand was cold, and when she looked down, it was Xiao Qingyu's ice-like hand that touched the back of her hand.

"There are many things in life that you can't choose, and you don't have to blame yourself too much. ”

What Ye Ningxiang didn't notice was that Xiao Qingyu at this time showed an extremely complicated expression, calm, helpless, and even more guilty, as for his guilt, it was a secret that he would never tell Ye Ningxiang in his life, and he needed to bring it to the grave.

The two consecutive days and nights of running made it difficult for Xiao Qingyu, who had been poisoned into his heart and lungs, to support him, his breathing became rapid, his lips turned purple-black, and the bones all over his body were scattered, as if he was lying on the beam of the car in a mess of mud. He hadn't vomited dark blood for nearly half a day, but his state was much worse than before, as he was completely unconscious.

Ye Ningxiang kept beside Xiao Qingyu, patting and kneading his body, hoping that he could give her some response, but Xiao Qingyu was still lying there motionless as if she was dead.

"Goofy, Goofy, hurry up, hurry up, Childe is about to be unable to hold on!"

Ye Ningxiang's voice was hoarse, and several bytes were not in tune at all. Hearing Ye Ningxiang's desperate shout, the carriage driven by Gao Fei went faster, and the car was bumpy as if it was about to fall apart.

A luxurious-looking carriage suddenly rushed into the middle of the capital, and the carriage passed the guards of the city gate and rushed straight into the street.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Goofy shouted at the top of his voice as he waved his whip at the passing crowd, hoping to reduce the casualties caused by the galloping carriage.

The carriage quickly arrived at the gate of Xiao's mansion, Gao Fei quickly carried Xiao Qingyu off the carriage and ran towards the mansion, and the people in the mansion saw Xiao Qingyu who looked like a dead man, and they all stepped aside, trembling with horror.

In the Xiao Mansion, the imperial doctor of Rui Guotai Hospital had already prepared, waiting for Xiao Qingyu to return to detoxify him, but the moment they saw Xiao Qingyu, their faces that were still full of confidence showed regret.

"The second prince is not saved, he has ...... It's out of breath. ”

"Impossible, impossible!"

While speaking, Ye Ningxiang rushed out of Xiao Qingyu's room, and entered her own room in a few arrow steps, and in a moment's effort, her room was already in a mess.

"No, no, what about the medicine, I obviously brought it here!"

Just as Ye Ningxiang was in despair, her maid suddenly said happily, "Miss Ye, what are you looking for?"

I saw that the maid was holding a small medicine bottle with exquisite workmanship in her hand, and the medicine was nothing else, it was the medicine that Mu Xize gave to Ye Ningxiang at that time.

Ye Ningxiang grabbed the medicine bottle and ran towards Xiao Qingyu's room.

"The medicine is coming, the medicine is coming!"

Ye Ningxiang hurriedly opened the medicine bottle, took out the small pill, and stuffed it into Xiao Qingyu's mouth.

"It's useless, the second prince is dead, and no matter how good the medicine is, it's in vain. ”

Ye Ningxiang glared at the imperial doctor who spoke viciously, with a strong killing intent in her eyes, as if she was going to kill him here.

"What is the use of those who are healers who cannot heal the sick and save people?"

The imperial doctors couldn't imagine that such a little girl could show such a terrifying aura, so they closed their mouths one after another, not daring to say a word more.

Time passed minute by minute, Xiao Qingyu never reacted, his eyes were closed, his eyelashes were upturned, except for his pale face and purple lips, he seemed to be asleep, which made people unbearable to disturb. Ye Ningxiang held Xiao Qingyu's arm tightly, trembling uncontrollably because of nervousness.

Half a day has passed since Xiao Qingyu took the pill that brought him back to life, and in the entire Xiao Mansion, only Xiao Qingyu's room is still brightly lit, but it is already silent outside. Ye Ningxiang looked at the mutilated bright moon outside the window distractedly, and hot tears burst out of her eyes uncontrollably again.

"Childe, you promised me that you would hold on, don't you still have a grand cause that has not been completed, didn't you say that you are going to succeed the monarch of Rui Kingdom! You can't die at this time!"

When the sky was slightly brighter and Ye Ningxiang cried until her tears almost dried up, Xiao Qingyu's hand, which she was holding tightly, suddenly moved imperceptibly.

Ye Ningxiang's red and swollen eyes suddenly rekindled hope, and she almost said with a smile: "Childe, are you awake?"

I saw Xiao Qingyu frowning slightly, the corners of his eyes trembling slightly, and finally opened his eyes with great difficulty.

"Childe, Childe!"

The excessive excitement and surprise made Ye Ningxiang not know what to say, and smiles and tears were printed on her face at the same time, like a crazy girl.

"Ningxiang, I'm fine, don't worry. ”

Xiao Qingyu raised his arm with difficulty, wiped away the tears on Ye Ningxiang's face, revealed a charming smile, and then fell into a coma again.

The next day, the weather was exceptionally clear, and a few lovely birds fluttered their wings outside the window, not squeaking. When Ye Ningxiang opened her eyes, she found that she had slept on Xiao Qingyu's bed at some point, and Xiao Qingyu, who had been asleep since waking up once last night, was no longer on this bed.

"Ningxiang, you're awake!"

It was none other than Xiao Qingyu who spoke and thought she wouldn't survive.

"Childe, is your poison cured?"

Ye Ningxiang saw that Xiao Qingyu, who was paralyzed and unconscious yesterday, was now able to stand in front of her alive, and the joy in her heart was irrepressible, so she immediately lifted the futon and jumped out of bed.

"It's not a detoxification, it's a rebirth. It's all down to the pills you gave me. ”

Xiao Qingyu smiled, but there was a bitterness hidden in this smile that others couldn't detect. He couldn't be clearer about what kind of side effects the pill cultivated by the nine-tailed fox heart was. Paralyzed in bed, stiff limbs are just a matter of time, but it's okay, God has given him a few more years to achieve hegemony, and it is not a bad treat for him.

"Ning Xiang, you are too tired these days, today you can rest here with peace of mind, I need to enter the palace once, go and go back. ”

With that, Xiao Qingyu left the Xiao Mansion with a smile.

Taiji Hall of Ruiguo Imperial Palace. The civil and military officials of the Rui Kingdom stood respectfully on both sides of the palace, and on the dragon chair in front of them sat an old woman of seventy or eighty years old. This man was richly dressed, and his gestures showed the inviolable majesty of the royal family.

She was holding in her hand a child of eight or nine years old, who had probably never seen such a big scene, and the child's face was frightened, and his body seemed to tremble.

"The first emperor has passed away for a long time, and the throne of the monarch cannot be left unchecked. The mourning family has decided to support Xiao Qingyan, the son of King Wu, as the next new emperor, do you have any objections?"

There are objections in the hearts of the civil and military officials who are standing, this Xiao Qingyan is still a milky child, and he is still the child of the emperor's cousin, and he is not pure in blood, if Xiao Qingyan is really established as the emperor, then the country may really be firmly in the hands of Prime Minister Feng Jingzhi.

Originally, after the accidental death of the crown prince, they pinned their hopes on Xiao Qingyu, the illegitimate son of the former emperor, who was not recognized by the royal family before, but now Xiao Qingyu is highly poisoned, and the news of his imminent death has already spread throughout the country. Even if they had the intention of supporting Xiao Qingyu, they couldn't do it now.

"I have an objection. ”

From outside the main hall came a magnetic, tough and powerful voice. Everyone was surprised, and they all turned their heads to look in the direction of the voice, only to see a young man dressed in white, with a tall posture and outstanding temperament suddenly appeared at the door of the hall, this person was Xiao Qingyu.

It was rumored that Xiao Qingyu, who was highly poisoned and even dead, was standing in front of them alive at this moment, smiling, and not seeing any signs of poisoning.
