Chapter 128 Who Wants You to Fight So Hard

Underground palace.

With a "crack", as the illusion was broken, the bronze mirror hanging in the air was shattered and fell to the ground piece by piece.

Blood spurted out of Zhixing's mouth, staining the floor tiles. Her eyes went dark and she lost consciousness.

The puppet show ended and the audience who were originally sitting in Qianji Pavilion filed out one after another, and the busy street became even more lively.

Ye Jingnian watched a group of girls gathered on the bank of Yudai River, releasing their own river lanterns with their longing wishes. People stopping on the street were picking up beautiful sugar paintings, lanterns, and all kinds of exquisite jewelry, and their hearty laughter echoed in the air.

Thinking of the figure kneeling alone in the underground palace, Ye Jingnian's eyes darkened a little.

Is she still angry?

Bai Muling lagged behind a little and lowered his head worriedly. He had not spoken a word since he knew Ruyu's identity.

Yan Chuan, who was following behind Ye Jingnian, asked, "Your Highness, where are we going next?"

Ye Jingnian raised his beautiful eyebrows and asked, "Where is the Seventh Uncle?"

As he was asking, he passed a slightly secluded corner and saw a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

Ye Jinchen's accompanying bodyguard Pei Xuan was supporting him. His handsome face turned pale, with veins bulging on his forehead. Looking closely, the corner of his right eye seemed to be injured, and he was gritting his teeth to endure it.

Sheng Yunqing was also injured and was weakly carried into the carriage by Su Lan.

The other man walked unsteadily, and after only a few steps he fell to the ground with a thump.

Ye Jingnian frowned. That person was...

"Lu Changxuan!" Su Lan exclaimed as she got off the carriage, and the maid beside Sheng Yunqing also came over to help.

Seeing the four people injured so badly, he couldn't help but sneer and raised the corners of his handsome lips.

Who is so capable that he could injure these masters like this?
He left with a wave of his sleeves, and said slowly: "It must be Mu Jiyue, only the princess of Western Shu has such ability."

Yan Chuan frowned in confusion and said, "Your Highness, Princess Qin Xue got on the carriage and left an hour ago. Besides... doesn't she love the Seventh Prince? How could she have the heart to hurt him like this?"

Hearing this, Ye Jingnian suddenly stopped walking, and Bai Muling, who was walking with her head down behind him, accidentally bumped into his back.

She took a step back in panic, swallowed, and said, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Ye Jingnian had an uneasy feeling in his heart, and hurried towards the carriage, shouting, "Go back home!"

Bai Muling took small steps and ran behind him, saying, "Your Highness, the Lantern Festival is not over yet..."

A quarter of an hour later.

The heavy stone door of the underground palace opened, and the light from outside shone in.

Ye Jingnian looked at the originally clean and quiet underground palace, which had become a mess. There were fragments of mirrors scattered everywhere, as well as some of Zhixing's magic tools that Ye Jingnian had seen, scattered in pieces.

The girl in white who was kneeling in front of the moonlight had fallen to the ground at some point. He walked over quickly, half-knelt on the ground, held her shoulders and pulled her into his arms, but was frightened by her cold body temperature.

Zhixing's complexion turned pale, and the bright red blood on the ground froze over. The blood flowing from the corner of her mouth kept dripping along her chin, staining a large area on her pure white clothes.

"Zhi Xing? What did you do?" Ye Jingnian's hands couldn't stop shaking. He reached out and touched her pulse. The girl still had a faint breath. He hugged her tightly in his arms and said through gritted teeth, "Idiot! Who asked you to fight like this? I warn you, you are not allowed to die! Not allowed!"

Ye Jingnian nearly bit his back teeth to pieces. It was the first time he was so flustered. He picked her up horizontally, walked out of the underground palace quickly, and shouted, "Imperial Physician! Call all the imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital!"

Zhi Xing frowned slightly. There was a warm purple air around her, which made her consciousness regain some clarity. She slowly opened her eyes, looked at Ye Jingnian's anxious expression, and slowly lost consciousness again.

In the early morning, the birds outside the window are singing in the trees, flying over the swaying branches, and crystal dew is dripping on the leaves.

After a night of recuperation, Sheng Yunqing had recovered most of her strength. Compared to Ye Jinchen and Lu Changxuan, her injuries were not serious.

In the guest room, on two beds, two men slept all night.

Sheng Yunqing placed his hand on his pulse, and in a moment, his hand was held back.

She was stunned for a moment and asked, "Awake?"

Ye Jinchen slowly opened his eyes and saw Sheng Yunqing's appearance.

The girl was dressed simply and elegantly, with a faint fragrance. Her black hair cascaded down like ink-black silk, tied into a braid that fell on one side. A cherry-pink silk flower was placed on the braid. A few strands of hair were deliberately loosened, making them as soft as morning mist flowing over bluestone.

Sheng Yunqing bit her lip in worry and said, "Did you have a nightmare just now? You looked very sad."

The light of morning sun shines on the girl's face, and her fair complexion seems to radiate a dreamy white light, softening the years.

Seeing her well-behaved appearance, Ye Jinchen raised his lips slightly, with a look of infatuation in his eyes.

She is truly a celestial being...

He reached out and stroked her cheek, the warmth made him feel more at ease: "I was worried about you, so I was trapped in a nightmare. You should have called me earlier."

Sheng Yunqing exhaled lightly and said, "You still need to rest." She looked at the corner of Ye Jinchen's right eye and frowned in a complicated manner.

Yesterday I saw the moon blade embedded in the corner of his eye, leaving a strange scar. Now I see that the original scar has disappeared.

She touched it lightly with her fingertips and asked, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt."

Sheng Yunqing's thoughts became more and more complicated. Neither she nor Lu Changxuan had noticed the poison left in Ye Jinchen's body before. It was really a case of carelessness. Now, although the new wound at the corner of the eye was hidden, she still needed to be extra careful.

"Fairy sister, the medicine is ready." Sheng Yunqing walked in holding three bowls of hot medicine.

Dong Ning took the medicine and placed the bowls on the table. Sheng Yunqing picked up the bowl, blew on it gently to cool it down, and fed it to his lips.

"Where is this..." The person on the other bed suddenly wailed miserably, "Ouch! My whole body hurts so much!"

Hearing Lu Changxuan's voice, Sheng Yunqing frowned, looked in his direction, and said, "Don't move, the needle in your body has not been removed yet."

Lu Changxuan frowned and cried out in pain, "Sheng Yunqing, you plotted against me! You took advantage of me when I was unconscious to kill me. You have such a cruel heart!"

Sheng Yunqing choked and sighed softly. Considering that he had broken the illusion and was not conscious, she would not bother with him.

She continued to blow air and feed medicine to Ye Jinchen, saying, "Yes, I'll make you into a big hedgehog, fill you with lead water, and make you into a big bronze man and place it at the door of our clinic."
