C258 Her Life Was Hanging by a Thread

Mu Ruqing was unconscious for a day and two nights and showed no signs of waking up. Yu Longchen could not wait any longer. Currently, the only ones who could treat Mu Ruqing were Miao Yingyu and Yuan Zhen in Faang mansion.

He could not care about that now. Mu Ruqing's breathing became slower and slower, and her body temperature became lower and lower. He could only try his best to save her.

In the early hours of the morning, Yu Longchen had already prepared a carriage and helped Mu Ruqing put on thick clothes before heading to Faang mansion.

The side door of Faang mansion opened, and Faang Zijun and Xiuxiu welcomed Yu Longchen. Mu Ruqing was wearing a cloak, and her face was covered by a large hat.

"Where are they?" Yu Longchen looked anxious. He did not wait for the two of them to lead the way and walked inside.

"I received your letter last night. I have arranged for them." Faang Zijun strode in front of Yu Longchen.

Xiuxiu needed to jog before she could catch up with them. eldest servant girl stood beside her to protect her. There were very few people in Faang mansion. Faang Zijun had already made arrangements. The fewer people who knew about this matter, the better.

When they arrived at the room, all the places that were transparent were used paper to paste. The room became dark and only candles lit up the room.

Yu Longchen placed Mu Ruqing on the bed. Miao Yingyu and Yuan Zhen looked more and more haggard. They had dark circles under their eyes and were still tied to the chairs.

Miao Yingyu looked at Mu Ruqing and felt a little awake. She moved her body but did not break free from the rope. Instead, she made the chair ring and asked worriedly, "What happened to Qing?"

"Can you control yourself now?" Yu Longchen walked over and untied Miao Yingyu. "Qing has been unconscious for a day and two nights. The imperial physicians and doctors had come to see her and said that she was fine. But her body temperature is getting lower and lower, and her breathing is getting slower and slower."

" Let me try! " Miao Yingyu also pulled out her hands to help untie the rope. She had just left the chair and took two steps before her body went limp and fell to the ground.

Xiuxiu wanted to help her up but Miao Yingyu waved her hand and quickly got up and lay by the bed to take Mu Ruqing's pulse.

"Let... Let me go."

The few of them were attentively looking at Miao Yingyu when they suddenly heard a low and hoarse voice. Other than Yu Longchen, they all turned their heads to look at the source of the voice.

Yuan Zhen's head leaned against the back of the chair. He slightly opened his eyes and saw the movement on the other side of the bed. He opened his cracked lips and said, "Let go... I, I... can save... Qing."

Yu Longchen turned around and looked at Yuan Zhen. His injuries were much more serious than Miao Yingyu's. Now he only ate some porridge every day. He did not know if his body was okay.

"Let go. Qing... "Yuan Zhen said every word weakly. Faang Zijun looked back at Miao Yingyu. She looked worried and thought about it, so he untied the rope for Yuan Zhen.

Yuan Zhen's steps were still steady, but he walked very slowly. When he reached the edge of the bed, he pulled Miao Yingyu and said, "Move aside. Qing's condition... Only I... know."

Miao Yingyu did not argue with him. She indeed could not diagnose anything. Mu Ruqing's pulse became weaker and weaker, like a dying person. When she stood up, her head suddenly hurt. Miao Yingyu gritted her teeth and tried her best to restrain herself. Now, Qing's life and death were unknown. She could not let anything happen to herself. Her nails slowly dug into her palm.

Yuan Zhen's back was already sweating. He was seriously injured and had been planted with Gu poison. It was truly a torture worse than death.

After diagnose Mu Ruqing for a while, he looked up at Yu Longchen. "When did it start?"

"The day before yesterday when I went to swim in the lake." Yu Longchen's voice was dark and scared, but it was also full of worry. "Is there a way?"

"Then why did you only bring her here now? " Yuan Zhen shouted, but his voice was only half as loud as before. This wasn't all because he was angry at Yu Longchen, but because he used this method to release his pain.

Yu Longchen didn't say anything, but his eyes were filled with guilt.

"She is going to die." Yuan Zhen let go of Mu Ruqing's hand. Sweat dripped onto the floor.

Yu Longchen went crazy. "No way! You can save her, right? Right? "

"Yes." Yuan Zhen looked at Yu Longchen. "But this isn't the first time she's doing this. Did you notice it before?"

"I know she has a heartache problem. I..." Yu Longchen looked at Yuan Zhen and suddenly rushed over to hold Mu Ruqing's cold hand, "How can I save her? Tell me."

"Use your heart blood as a catalyst..."

"Okay." Before Yuan Zhen could ask, Yu Longchen had already answered him, which made Yuan Zhen stunned for a while.

"You guys go out." Yuan Zhen did not have much strength in his hands. He pulled Yu Longchen's sleeve like a child and said, "Go out!"

"Your Royal Highness. Let's wait outside." Faang Zijun cupped his hands and bowed.

Xiuxiu also spoke, "Daoist Priest Yuan will not hurt Qing no matter what."

"Okay." Yu Longchen went out last and closed the door.

Miao Yingyu stood at the head of the bed and looked at Yuan Zhen. She moved her mouth but did not say anything. Yuan Zhen turned to look at her. "If we survive this time. I will marry you, okay?"

Miao Yingyu covered her mouth and her eyes curved.

Yuan Zhen saw that she did not speak and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth. "I love you. I don't know when it started, but without you, I would be flustered. Would you like to? In any case, you are already mine. Why don't you obey me?"

" You first save Qing. " Miao Yingyu cried. Her voice was filled with joy as she spoke, "You won't die. I will marry."

"Okay. I won't die." Yuan Zhen replied to her with satisfaction, as if he had settled his heart.

In the Imperial Residence.

Yun Xi knew that Mu Ruqing had not woken up and the person she arranged to go and inquire about in the morning came to tell her that Yu Longchen had brought Mu Ruqing out of the residence.

Huatine wrapped the hairpin with a white cloth. There were still small blisters on her hands but it was no longer itchy and painful.

"Now is the best time." Yun Xi put down the hairpin in her hand and looked at Huatine, "As for her lass Lingyue, I will make the arrangements."

"Yes." Huatine took the things and left.

She went to the corner of Mu Ruqing's room and waited. A woman in the kitchen came over and called Lingyue away. She said that the ingredients that were sent over were much less.

Lingyue was worried about Mu Ruqing. Now that she had something to do, she could use it to split her thoughts.

Huatine saw that she had left and quickly approached Mu Ruqing's room. She searched in front of the dressing table for a long time but did not see the hairpin. She then looked elsewhere and found it in the smallest box.

The two hairpins were indeed very similar but there were some differences in the style. Yun Xi's hairpin had an extra flower. Since Mu Ruqing's one was placed in these inconspicuous places, she definitely would not wear it often, so she would not be able to find it.

Huatine was hesitating if she should put it in a conspicuous place. If Mu Ruqing did not wear it, then wouldn't her suffering be in vain?

Before she could think about it, she heard a sound outside the door.

"You guys hurry up. Ms Lingyue wants to change the bedding of the Princess."

"Yes."

Hearing the footsteps getting closer and closer, Huatine was so scared that she broke out in cold sweat. The hairpin in her hand fell to the ground and made a clear sound.

The leading girl heard it and frowned, "Who is inside?" She pushed open the door and walked around but did not see anyone.

"Did you hear anything inside?" The girl looked at the two girls in confusion.

"Sister, did you hear wrongly? "The two girls shook their heads and answered. They walked over and changed Mu Ruqing's bedding.

When the girl saw the half-open window and there was no one else in the room, she attributed the sound to the wind blowing in. She turned around and saw the two girls shouting loudly, "Hurry up."

" Yes, sir. "

She waited until the person went out. Huatine then crawled out from under the bed. Her forehead was covered in sweat. She really wanted to scare her to death.

She restored the thing she touched to its original state and climbed out of the window to run. At this time, Lingyue opened the door of the room and did not see the clothes that just slid down from the window.

Seeing the open window, she became puzzled. When did I open it?
