Chapter 430 Heartbreaking Coma
Chapter 430 Heartbreaking Coma
Li Cunxu stared coldly at Xuanbing Yaoji, a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.
"In that case, let's see how much torture you can endure."
He waved to the guards:
"Mobilize a thousand troops and find my mother quickly. Also, go to the Yunlai Inn and find the Crimson Flame Lion and the Southern Ridge Divine Doctor. Cut them into a thousand pieces."
"Yes."
"How did you know they were at Yunlai Inn?"
The Ice Demoness struggled and roared.
“It’s very simple. We installed high-tech products on you, and you just threw them away,” Li Cunxu said.
"I thought it was some kind of dirty fly that had gotten on me, so I swatted it off with my hand, but I didn't expect..."
After speaking, Xuanbing Yaoji asked again:
"What high-tech product is this? I don't believe there is such a thing in the world that can track us."
“You’ll never understand this, and you don’t need winter. Just tell me where the antidote is, otherwise it’ll be a waste of your face,” Qi Yuxuan said fiercely.
Xuanbing Yaoji kept her eyes closed and remained silent.
Enraged, Zhao Wanqing took the knife from the guard and held it to Xuanbing Yaoji's face, threatening her:
"Aren't you going to tell me? Have you ever thought about what it would feel like if your face was ruined, no man loved you, and everyone despised you?"
Xuanbing Yaoji thought for a moment, then said in horror:
"I really don't know. This is poison from Jinzhen Dushou. You'll have to ask him."
"Someone, bring me the knife that was used to stab Twilight Sparkle."
Li Cunxu took the poisoned knife.
"puff"
Li Cunxu plunged his knife into Xuanbing Yaoji's abdomen.
"You wicked woman, I'll let you suffer the pain of Ziyue, and see if that Golden Needle Poison Hand can save you."
Xuanbing Yaoji exclaimed in panic:
"I really don't know where the antidote is, and I don't want to die."
"If you dare to hurt Ziyue, I'll make you wish you were dead. If Ziyue goes to hell, you'll go with her."
Li Cunxu gritted his teeth, filled with resentment.
Inside the bedchamber, Qiu Ziyue's condition became increasingly critical.
Her consciousness began to fade, and her breathing became weak.
Qi Yuxuan and Li Cunxu came out of the dungeon and sat on the edge of the bed.
They gently wiped the cold sweat from Qiu Ziyue's forehead.
Li Cunxu said softly:
"Twilight Sparkle, listen to me, I will never let you leave me, no matter what. I will find the cure, even if it means searching the entire world!"
Qi Yuxuan also gently comforted him:
"My wife, please don't leave me. We will live together and die together. If you leave, I will not live alone."
Qiu Ziyue barely opened her eyes, grabbed Qi Yuxuan and Li Cunxu's hands tightly, and placed them together.
"Yuxuan, Cunxu... I feel so happy to have you two here..."
Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, yet every word was filled with deep affection.
Immediately afterwards, Qiu Ziyue had been in a coma for three days and three nights, and a heavy and tense atmosphere permeated the Prince Jin's mansion.
Qiu Langyu, Leng Feng, Zhao Wanqing, and others took turns staying by her bedside.
But the people who were most often by her side were Qi Yuxuan and Li Cunxu.
Several oil lamps were lit in the room, their dim light reflecting off Qiu Ziyue's pale face.
Her breathing was weak and even, as if it might stop at any moment.
Qi Yuxuan sat on the edge of the bed, holding her hand, his eyes filled with worry and reluctance.
He would occasionally use his other hand to gently stroke her forehead, hoping to bring her some warmth.
"Twilight Sparkle, you must pull through."
Qi Yuxuan said in a low voice, his voice slightly choked.
“We still need to go home to see Minglan and Jingyun. You can’t just leave me like this.”
Li Cunxu stood to the side, his hands clenched into fists, his eyes flashing with a complex light.
He also had deep feelings for Qiu Ziyue, but seeing Qi Yuxuan taking such good care of her, he couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
"Yuxuan, go and rest for a bit. I'll keep an eye on things here."
Li Cunxu spoke softly, trying to make Qi Yuxuan relax a little.
Li Cunxu shook his head and said firmly:
"No, I want to stay with her until she wakes up."
Qi Yuxuan sighed: "Hasn't we found Madam Cao yet?"
Li Cunxu said in a somber tone:
"Zhu Wen wanted me dead, but thankfully you all helped me. Without you, I would have been in a much worse state. It's a pity that Zi Yue was implicated."
Qi Yuxuan remained silent, knowing that any attempt to persuade him at this moment would be futile.
So he sat down silently, and the two of them stayed by Qiu Ziyue's bedside.
Time passed quietly, and the night deepened.
The occasional chirping of insects outside the window only amplified the silence inside the room.
Neither Li Cunxu nor Qi Yuxuan spoke; they simply watched Qiu Ziyue silently, hoping she would wake up soon.
Suddenly, Qiu Ziyue's fingers twitched slightly, and then her eyelids began to tremble.
Li Cunxu and Qi Yuxuan immediately became alert and stared intently at her.
"Twilight Sparkle, can you hear me?"
Li Cunxu asked eagerly, his voice filled with anticipation.
Qiu Ziyue slowly opened her eyes, her gaze somewhat confused.
She saw the concerned looks in Li Cunxu and Qi Yuxuan's eyes, and a weak smile appeared on her lips.
"You...you're all here."
Her voice was weak and hoarse.
Li Cunxu was so excited he almost cried. He held Qiu Ziyue's hand tightly, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Twilight Sparkle, you're finally awake! We were all so worried."
Qi Yuxuan also breathed a sigh of relief, a relieved smile appearing on his face.
Qiu Ziyue nodded, feeling a wave of exhaustion wash over her. But she knew that with them by her side, she wasn't alone.
She closed her eyes and drifted back into a light sleep.
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the hall.
A guard rushed in, knelt on one knee, and reported:
"Prince Jin, someone outside the palace is requesting an audience, claiming to be able to cure Miss Qiu!"
Li Cunxu suddenly stood up, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes.
"Bring him in! Quickly!"
A moment later, a mysterious figure wearing a gray cloak entered the hall.
He slowly removed his hood, revealing an aged yet wise face.
"I rushed here upon hearing the news, and perhaps I can lend you a helping hand."
After saying that, he went straight to Qiu Ziyue's bed and carefully examined her injuries.
"This poison is indeed extremely rare, but it is not completely incurable."
The old man pondered for a moment, then took out a small bottle from his pocket.
"This is a miraculous medicine that I have developed over many years of research. Although I cannot guarantee that it will be 100% effective, it is worth a try."
Li Cunxu's eyes lit up, and he quickly took the medicine bottle.
"Senior, please help immediately! I'm willing to pay any price!"
The old man nodded, fed the medicine to Qiu Ziyue, and instructed her:
"The next few hours are crucial; we must maintain absolute silence and not disturb her rest."
With the arrival of the elderly man, things seemed to take a turn for the better.
However, Li Cunxu was still full of doubts—who exactly was this mysterious old man?
What is his real purpose?
But is there a deeper conspiracy hidden behind the Mystic Ice Demoness?
As night fell, the bedchamber was brightly lit.
Everyone held their breath, waiting to see if Qiu Ziyue could pull through this ordeal...
