Chapter 41 - Heartforce Heartbeat

When they returned back to the city, the city was already under martial law. Strictly inspecting the citizens entering and exiting, the patrols in the city were also strengthened, in order to prevent the assassins from harming the nobles in the city and affecting the City Guard.

He didn't want too many people to know about the matter of Gu Yicheng's injuries, in order to prevent others from taking advantage of the situation. Thus, he went back to the residence and entered through the side door, after which Gu San went to the House of the Marquis of An and invited Fructus Ligustris Sativus to the residence to treat him.

Yun Qianliang was still dressed in his blood-stained clothes, and upon seeing that the Fructus Ligustris Sativus had finished checking his pulse, she anxiously asked: ”How is it?”

”Fortunately, I managed to clear away the poison in time and did not endanger my life.” Fructus Ligustris Sativus heaved a sigh of relief.

Yun Qianliang, who was still in suspense, finally calmed down and sat down.

In the beginning, no one noticed that Gu Yicheng had been poisoned, but on the way back, Gu Yicheng broke out in a cold sweat on the horse carriage, his face becoming even more pale white, and his consciousness becoming blurry too quickly, only then did she realise that something was amiss.

Pulling his clothes apart, he noticed that the color of the blood flowing out of the wound had turned dark.

At that moment, Yun Qianliang's reasoning was exceptionally clear, he absolutely could not die, or else she would be dead.

She had to suck the blood out for him to make sure he was safe.

When Fructus Ligustris Sativus finished writing the prescription, he arranged for people to immediately go get the medicine.

Then, Fructus Ligustris Sativus started to treat her wounds. Yun Qianliang guarded the entire battle from the side with rapt attention.

During this time, Chun Hua and Qiu Yue brought out a clean outer garment and changed the blood stained outer garment on them. Yun Qianliang quietly allowed her two servants to torment him, her gaze never leaving the bed for a moment.

The night had gradually darkened, and the candles in the room had been lit.'s serious expression was reflected in the candles, causing everyone in the room to not dare to make a sound.

The Evening meal on the table was already cold, Yun Qianliang only had a few mouthfuls, and was no longer in the mood to use it.

When Chun Hua came in to clean up, seeing that there were still a lot of food left on the table, she was worried and wanted to advise her otherwise. But when she saw the unconscious man on the bed who had woken up to drink her medicine, she swallowed her words back and silently put away the cold dishes.

Outside the door, the Gu San was worried that the thieves would not give up and attack the Residence of General. He had arranged for double the number of secret guards to protect it.

Seeing Chun Hua carrying out an almost untouched meal, when the Gu San closed the door, she worriedly looked inside.

Yun Qianliang was still seated at her position in the daytime, looking at her bed in deep thought, he sighed and closed the door.

”Keep the food warm, just in case the prime minister wakes up at night. The prime minister and his wife can easily use it.” Gu San warned.

”Alright.” Chun Hua replied meekly.

During the latter half of the night, the temperature had become much colder.

Yun Qianliang glanced at the furnace, and finally reacted.

Yun Qianliang walked to the bed and looked at the unconscious people, her pale white face was extremely calm, only her breathing was a bit heavier, otherwise, she would undoubtedly be asleep.

”Gu Yicheng, why did you save me?” Yun Qianliang's voice was filled with confusion and confusion, ”Even if I owe you a favor, you don't need to block that sword for me.”

The room was very quiet. Other than her voice, there was only the sound of his heavy breathing.

Yun Qianliang's eyes were shrouded with a layer of indescribable emotion. It was no longer as carefree as it was in the past, nor was it cautious like it was in a serious situation. It caused people to feel very sad.
