After the demonic doctor's diagnosis, Qingwu's internal injuries were especially severe, and it was likely that she had been shocked by the high level of martial arts. Her entire body was covered with broken bones, and many large and small injuries had been inflicted. If it weren't for the fact that she had practiced martial arts since she was young, she wouldn't have been able to last as long as this long journey from the palace to the Demon Palace.
Today, Qingwu had wounds all over her body, but she had suffered them all. Yan Mo Chen's heart was filled with hatred, but he actually used all of them on Qingwu, and he did not leave any face for her, or it could be said that from the moment Yan Mo Chen and she parted ways at the entrance of the Demon Palace, they no longer had any feelings for each other, so how could they care about face?
Back then, Xiyue had been careless and was taken advantage of by the thieves to prevent her from being taken care of. But now, as long as Qingwu was safe, then the identity of this Jiang Shan was no longer that important. She was no longer as anxious as she was before to make Yan Mo Chen understand what she was doing.
Unknowingly, Qingwu was still so important to Qiao Qiao, perhaps she didn't even realize it herself.
"Auntie …" "Young lady …" Qingwu slowly raised her eyelids, seeing that Qiao Qiao was still sitting by the bed. Her eyes were slightly red, afraid that she would be worried that the young lady would feel sad because of her injuries. Her dry lips moved slightly, "Young lady, why are you …. "What's wrong?"
"Qingwu, you're awake!" Qiao once again turned his head and wiped away the tears that had almost flowed down the corner of his eyes. He forced a soft laugh and said, "I'll go get you some water."
"No …" Qingwu cried out anxiously, wanting to get up, but the painful scars all over her body made her involuntarily suck in a breath of cold air, "Hiss …" "What virtue and ability does a servant have to be able to make a lady take care of me …"
"Lie down." Qiao Qiao still held onto Qingwu and with a slightly reproachful look in his eyes, he said, "Qiao Guo is dead, I am no longer the Emperor of Qiao Country. Between you and I, we are sisters and we no longer have our former masters and servants."
"Young lady …" An unprecedented look of surprise appeared on Qingwu's face. She had never thought that the emperor would call her his sister in his heart. Her status was low, so how could she deserve such honor?
"Alright, stop talking. Lie down, I'll get you some water." Qiao Qiao gently caressed Qingwu's back and said with a gentle voice.
"Un …" Qingwu obediently nodded her head and gratefully laid back on the bed with tears flowing from the corner of her eyes.
Qiao Qiao carefully raised the teacup and placed it in Qingwu's mouth.
"Drink slowly, drink slowly." She had a faint smile on her lips the whole time.
"Cough cough …" After a light cough, Qiao Qiao placed the teacup to the side.
"Miss, did Madame Yuanyu ever come looking for you?" Qingwu leaned on the bed and asked weakly.
"Ji Mingyuan?" Qiao still frowned. "No, he left the palace?"
Qingwu lowered her eyes and spoke to Qiao Qiao. "After you left your letter, my lady, Yuanyu, made a human skin mask for your servant. Since the nation of Qiao was in a state of prosperity, ministers can go through the morning assembly day after day without incident. Once the human skin mask was made, however, she left the palace to find you personally …" She paused for a moment before sighing softly. "It's a good thing that Imperial Concubine Yuan came looking for you. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to avoid the Regent King's evil scheme."
Qiao Qiao's eyes still flickered. He never thought that Ji Mingyuan would actually leave the palace to search for her. He hoped that he would be able to find him before he returned to the palace, lest he end up in Yan Mo Chen's hands.
"Miss, what happened to Prince? When I came back, I heard that the young lady had gone missing, so I searched like crazy for the young lady. Why is it that after getting unknowingly injured, I woke up in a coma, and actually acted like a different person, violent and cruel. Qingwu's face was full of puzzlement. Normally, although the Regent was cold and indifferent, he would never be as bloodthirsty and brutal as he was now.
"He came to the Palace to see me." He Mo Chen's current appearance was naturally forced by her, but she was also forced to do so by herself. Fighting against He Ming You was the last thing she wanted to see, so naturally, Yan Mo Chen would not benefit from it.
"What?" Your Royal Highness knows that Miss is at the Demon Palace? " Qingwu wore a surprised expression, "Then why didn't Your Highness bring the young lady back?"
Qiao Qiao lightly exhaled and forced out the smile on his face as he said: "That day, he barged into the Devil's Palace alone with the intention of taking me away, but I …"
Qiao Qiao's voice was still calm as she narrated everything that happened at the entrance of the Demon Palace to Qingwu. Looking at Qingwu's widening eyes, she knew that she had gone too far that day.
As her voice fell, Qingwu finally recovered from the shock in her eyes. She suddenly let out a long sigh, "Lady, you are also not easy to deal with. This way, it would be too unfair for you."
Qiao Qiao's eyes were still gloomy. As long as he could eliminate the number one evil sect in the martial arts world, how could he not feel wronged? Even if the State of Qiao was gone, regardless of whether it was the State of Qiao or the Forgotten Nation, that group of people were still the people of the world!
"Lady, I'm afraid that Prince only did those things because he was angry for a moment. Don't blame him. In the future, when he learns the truth, he will certainly regret doing such a thing." Qingwu looked at Qiao Qiao's fading eyes and said carefully.
"I don't blame him, only that our fate has come to an end. Moreover, I don't want to tell him about this matter. Perhaps this way, his future days will be a bit more at ease." Joe continued to sigh, then lowered his head, hiding the fleeting tears in the corners of his eyes.
"But young lady …"
"Forget it, I just woke up. You must be hungry, right? I'll get Xiu Luan to prepare some food for you."
Just as Qingwu wanted to console him, she was interrupted by Qiao Qiao. Without waiting for Qingwu's reply, Qiao Qing continued to leave.
However, Qingwu could clearly see that before Qiao Qiao left, his finger lightly wiped away the tears that had fallen from the corner of his eyes.
Sigh.
The two of them had not even been able to get close to each other, and because of the matter regarding the Demon Palace, they had already developed a grudge against each other. In the future, when the emperor had completed his own plan, she would definitely tell the truth in front of him. At that time, the king would definitely regret what he had done today and cherish him deeply.
"Lady Qingwu, this is what the girl ordered you to do." With a gentle tone, she said with concern, "Miss said that after eating, Lady Qingwu will take a good rest and go out for a walk by herself."
"Alright." As Qingwu responded, she received the sweet porridge in Xiu Luan's hands. With a slight movement, her entire body was in pain, and even carrying the bowl of porridge was a bit strenuous.
"Your servant's name is Xiu Luan. Miss Qingwu, if you need anything, feel free to tell me." Xiu Luan smiled lightly and said slowly.
"Alright, thank you very much. I am also a little girl by your side, you can call me Qingwu from now on." Qingwu nodded with difficulty and smiled in response.
"Are you also a little girl by the girl's side?" Xiu Luan was shocked. She didn't expect that after seeing the girl's concern for her yesterday and even personally staying by her bed for the night, she would have thought that Qingwu was the girl's biological sister. She didn't expect that she was the girl.
"Yeah." Qingwu gently smiled.
"The girl is so nice to you." Xiu Luan enviously said.
"Yeah, the lady treats me like her own sister and has never treated me like I'm a servant." When Qingwu heard what Xiu Luan said, she was naturally extremely proud of herself. With such a master, what regrets would she have in her life?
"You're so lucky." The light in Xiu Luan's eyes dimmed slightly. Her tone was filled with envy.
"As long as you treat me well, I will definitely help you." She felt admiration for the position that Xiyue held in the emperor's heart. She didn't think that today she would be the same as Xiyue, a person that the emperor couldn't let go of.
"En, I understand. You eat first, I will go down first." Xiu Luan slightly nodded her head and gave a polite bow to Qingwu before turning around and leaving.
Qingwu watched as Xiu Luan's back gradually disappeared. She knew that in these past few days, the Emperor had all thanks to Xiu Luan …
On this side, Qiao Qiao still walked out from the Pear Blossom Garden and wandered around the Demon's Palace. When she saw Qingwu today, she recalled her past.
It didn't matter if it was the technique from back then, or Yan Mo Chen, it was the most beautiful experience in her life.
Unfortunately, now that the country of Qiao was gone, even if Yan Mo Chen hated her and wanted to take revenge, she could no longer be like how she was before, talking and laughing with him, and her feelings towards him grew stronger.
If she could successfully separate the position of the Demon Palace in the martial world in three months, she would leave the capital with Qingwu and never step foot into the capital again. She would naturally never meet that person again.
His gentleness, his consideration, his smile, his coldness, the smile he forced himself to smile in front of her, it had nothing to do with her anymore …
Qiao Qiao was still despondent. His mind was filled with Yan Mo Chen's usual appearance, and what he remembered most was that after finding out about the incident in the palace, he had rushed back from Python County swiftly on horseback, injured, yet he had forced himself not to speak about it. Even if she did not know and rubbed against his wound, he still smiled faintly and doted on her.
However, that favor would never belong to her again …
While her heart was haggard and apathetic, a dejected figure slowly appeared behind her back. She stood there for a long time without uttering a single sound …
