It hurts a lot, more than it hurts now. Cheng Mingran felt her vision getting more and more blurred, and she saw herself in the picture rushing out just like before.

At the moment when the sharp blade entered her body, Ji Lingzhou hugged her, which was rare. Although she could clearly feel Ji Lingzhou's reluctance, she was hugged by him in the end.

She raised her hand as if she wanted to touch Ji Lingzhou's face. The him in the picture and the him now seemed to have merged into each other.

But she had no strength left. When her hand was about to drop, Ji Lingzhou took the initiative to hold her hand: "It's okay, be good, I'm here..." His voice fell lightly into her ears, but Cheng Mingran could no longer react.

"Brother Lingzhou..." Her voice was very soft, but Ji Lingzhou heard it clearly.

When he heard this name, for a moment he couldn't tell whether it was his past life or this life, as if the two scenes had overlapped.

Dye Dye...

Ji Lingzhou held her tightly in his arms. In her previous life, she slowly died in his arms. This time, he couldn't let the same mistake happen again...

There was the sound of horse hooves, and the distinct sound of swords and sabers could be heard outside the palace. Someone was also shouting, "General Cheng!"

The war outside gradually subsided.

The news that Cheng Mingran blocked the arrow with her own body spread quickly. Ji Lingzhou didn't care about the scene and directly carried the person back to Zichen Palace. All the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau came.

Deep in the palace, the lights flickered, illuminating Cheng Mingran's face as pale as paper. She lay quietly on the couch, her hair disheveled, and even though she was wearing a heavy dress, it was still obvious that there were bloodstains on her, which was shocking.

Ji Lingzhou stood beside the bed, looking solemn, with his brows knitted tightly together, as if water could be squeezed out of them. His eyes kept lingering on Cheng Mingran, his eyes full of worry and fear.

His fingers gently stroked the jade ring, making a subtle "click" sound, revealing his inner anxiety and restlessness. He had never shown such an expression before...

The imperial doctors knelt before the prince, not daring to breathe. They knew that if they could not save Concubine Shu today, their lives would be in danger. Beads of sweat oozed from their foreheads, and the medicine boxes in their hands seemed to become heavy.

The entire palace was filled with a tense and oppressive atmosphere, as if even the air had frozen.

When Ji Lingzhou's eyes swept over the imperial doctors, they were full of majesty and coldness, as if they wanted to penetrate them one by one. The imperial doctors did not dare to look up, but could only lower their heads and carefully deal with this sudden crisis.

After a long while, Ji Lingzhou took a deep breath, as if to calm himself down. He spoke in a deep voice, with unquestionable majesty in his voice: "You must save Concubine Shu, otherwise, you will all come to see me with your heads!"

The imperial doctors were shocked when they heard this, and they all kowtowed in agreement, and then began to treat Concubine Shu in a hurry. Cheng Mingran's face was pale, and it seemed that the situation was not good...

"Your Majesty" Li Sheng hurried back from outside.

Ji Lingzhou took a look and Li Sheng bowed and nodded: "General Cheng is waiting outside."

General Cheng, Cheng Li...

"Also... the Empress Dowager has also heard about Concubine Shu's situation and has rushed over." Li Sheng didn't even dare to raise his head when he spoke.

"Let them rest in the hall next door, and send someone over to inform them when something happens here. It will be useless if they come over now, and there is no benefit in having too many people in the room." Ji Lingzhou said.

"Yes," Li Sheng replied.

"Has the person been caught?" When Ji Lingzhou said this again, there was obvious murderous intent in his eyes.

The man who shot the arrow today hurt Cheng Mingran, so he would definitely not let him go. If he was caught by others, he would definitely cut him into pieces!

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. That person seemed to be very familiar with the layout of the palace. Our people just went out and disappeared. So..." Li Sheng said.

Ji Lingzhou's face was grim: "Search! The same goes for the palace, send someone to check immediately! Check each palace one by one!"

"Yes." Li Sheng quickly retreated. He couldn't stay here any longer. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be in big trouble.

After Li Sheng left the room, Cheng Li outside came up to him anxiously: "Eunuch Li..." His tone was full of nervousness.

Li Sheng was helpless, and he was also in a dilemma: "General Cheng, please forgive me, His Majesty is in there. The Concubine Shu is now unconscious, and His Majesty has asked the imperial physician to treat her as much as possible. With His Majesty's blessing, the Concubine Shu is also blessed by heaven, so she will be fine."

"Even if you go in now, it will be useless and you can't help much. On the contrary, too many people will be disadvantageous to the Queen, so His Majesty asked the general to go to the palace next door to rest first. As soon as there is news here, I will send someone to tell the general." Li Sheng said.

"I understand your majesty's painstaking efforts, but I really am not in the mood to rest now. In that case, why not let me stay here? This way I will feel more at ease." Cheng Li said.

Li Sheng sighed: "General, this is the order of His Majesty. And even if you stand here, you can't wake up the queen immediately. If the queen wakes up and knows that you, the general, have been standing here guarding her, she will definitely feel distressed." Li Sheng said.

"..." The worry on Cheng Li's face was obvious, but facing the current situation, he could no longer make any other choice.

But at this moment, the Queen accompanied the Queen Mother and walked towards this side.

"Where is my Ranran? How is she? Why did you make her like this? Are all the people you protected dead?" The Queen Mother would easily lose control whenever she encountered something concerning Cheng Mingran.

"Greetings to the Empress Dowager and the Queen." Li Sheng bowed quickly.

"How is Concubine Shu?" Chi Yue's face didn't look very good either. After all, she was still seriously ill.

She rushed here just now after hearing the news, and happened to meet the Queen Mother on the road.

"The Concubine Shu hasn't woken up yet. The imperial physician is treating her wounds inside. Empress Dowager, please calm down." Li Sheng lowered his head even more.

"Calm down? How can you calm down? Ranran is weak to begin with, how can she possibly endure this kind of torture? If anything happens to her, you will be killing me!" The Queen Mother was really anxious.

Li Sheng was scolded so hard that he couldn't even lift his head, but in order not to disturb the people inside, he still gritted his teeth and asked the Queen Mother and Cheng Li to go to the empty room next door.

Not only them, but even Li Sheng and the servants in the palace prayed that Concubine Shu would be safe, otherwise... they might not even be able to save their lives.
