Yan Xuanye noticed her expectation and poured cold water on her, "Don't think that anyone will come to save you. You can't leave."

In fact, Su Qingci also knew that she probably couldn't leave, but she still couldn't help but hold a glimmer of hope.

It has been a month and a half since she left the letter for help outside Puzhou City. Will anyone find it?

Yan Xuanye wanted to shatter her fantasy completely, but Shi Zhuo kept knocking on the door unwillingly.

This is no small matter, His Highness must be informed.

"Your Highness, I have something important to report. It concerns the safety of all Fengyuan people. It is extremely urgent!"

The two people on the couch were both stunned. Su Qingci reacted the fastest and pushed Yan Xuanye hard while he was stunned and thinking.

"Why don't you go and have a look, in case it's something urgent."

Yan Xuanye pulled a wolfskin from the side and covered her with it. He gently kissed the red mole at the end of her eye, wiped away the tears from the corner of her eye, and said softly, "I'll go take a look. You just wait here for me to come back and don't run around."

Yan Xuanye went out quickly and the door of the bedroom was quickly closed to block out the cold air outside.

Su Qingci's hair was disheveled, her shoulders were exposed, and her clothes were torn a lot by Yan Xuanye, but she still forced herself to be strong, put on an outer garment and a cloak, wrapped herself up, and then walked out of the bedroom.

She didn't know what was going on, but she had a feeling it was related to her, so she had to go and see.

The maid outside the door saw her coming out and did not stop her.

Yan Xuanye only told her not to leave the palace, but he didn't say that she couldn't even leave the bedroom.

Su Qingci didn't let the maid follow her. She asked Yan Xuanye where he was going and followed him quietly.

……

Yan Xuanye: "Is this true? Has it been confirmed?"

Shi Zhuo leaned forward and whispered, "It has spread all over Nanchang. Even Lu Huan's father Lu Guang knows about it."

"The Emperor of Nanchang was afraid that without Lu Huan, Yizhou would be unable to cope, so he ordered Lu Guang to bring the 60,000 soldiers stationed in Puzhou City to support Yizhou."

Yan Xuanye thought thoughtfully: "So, Lu Huan is really dead?"

Shi Zhuo nodded: "The soldiers at the scene saw it with their own eyes. Lu Huan was seriously wounded by arrows. I heard that there was an arrow that pierced his heart. With such a serious injury, Lu Huan will definitely not survive."

Yan Xuanye exhaled deeply, feeling that the gloom he had been feeling for the past few days had all dissipated. "Where's Lu Huan's body?"

"I heard that the situation was extremely dangerous at the time. The generals and soldiers of Nanchang State were only concerned with retreating and escaping, so they didn't have time to retrieve Lu Huan's body. Later, I heard that he was dragged back by the subordinates of Prince Ning."

Shi Zhuo guessed, "Maybe he wanted to hang it on the city wall to demonstrate. After all, Lu Huan is the commander-in-chief of Yizhou."

Yan Xuanye sighed, feeling a little dissatisfied, "What a pity, I was not able to take Lu Huan's head myself."

He sighed, "I originally wanted to cut off his head, shave off the flesh, and use it to make a new wine vessel."

Shi Zhuo smiled and said, "If Your Highness really likes it, just tell Prince Ning. Is there any reason for Prince Ning not to give it to Your Highness?"

Yan Xuanye patted his shoulder and said, "You are right."

……

Yan Xuanye and Zhuo were having a pleasant conversation, but suddenly there was a crisp sound behind them, as if something was broken.

The two of them subconsciously looked behind them and saw Su Qingci standing in the dark, breaking an exquisite porcelain vase in his panic.

Su Qingci stood at the corner in a daze, his delicate face turned as pale as paper in an instant, and he felt as if the sky had collapsed with a loud bang.

Because of extreme grief, a nauseous feeling of wanting to faint suddenly surged into her heart. She said viciously: "You are talking nonsense, you are acting, right? You are all lying to me, right?"

Shi Zhuo paused. He was one of the few people in Fengyuan who knew about the relationship between Yan Xuanye and Su Qingci.

Shi Zhuo: "This news came out half a month ago. Everyone in Nanchang knows about it. It has only just reached us now, and... we are not the only ones talking about it."

After hearing this, she lowered her head and shook her head in panic, her hair swaying in disorder, muttering to herself: "Impossible, impossible, he said he would come back safely."

The voice was trembling and broken, as if it was squeezed out from the depths of the soul.

Yan Xuanye wanted to go up and hug her, but Su Qingci suddenly took two steps back, her eyes were distracted and unfocused.

She felt like she was sinking to the bottom of an icy river on a winter night. She was so cold that it seemed as if every breath she took was filled with ice. The suffocating feeling was swallowing her up madly.

Before she could refute anything, her body began to sway like a leaf in the wind, and then her eyes went dark and she fainted.

Yan Xuanye exclaimed, "A Ci!" His voice was full of panic and worry. He quickly stepped forward and caught Su Qingci's body that was about to fall to the ground.

"Quick, call the witch doctor!"

"No, let Lord Wu Yan come over, now!" Yan Xuanye roared, veins bulging on his forehead, and his hands holding Su Qingci trembled slightly.

Shi Zhuo was also shocked by this sudden change and didn't know what to do. He quickly responded: "Yes, Your Highness, I'll go right away!"

Yan Xuanye carried Su Qingci back to the bedroom. Looking at the unconscious Su Qingci in his arms, his heart was broken.

Her face was as pale as paper, her once lively eyes were tightly closed, and her slightly trembling eyelashes seemed to still retain endless sadness.

Even in a coma, she still muttered to herself, "It's impossible. He won't die."

"He will not."

Not long after, Master Wu Yan hurried over. After a diagnosis, he said solemnly, "Your Highness, the princess fainted because of anger and exhaustion. She needs to be well taken care of and must not be stimulated again."

"Moreover, the princess's fetus..." He paused slightly.

Yan Xuanye: "What happened to the fetus?"

"The princess is so sad and heartbroken, and she refuses to take the medicine to preserve the pregnancy. I'm afraid this pregnancy... I'm afraid it will be..."

He didn't finish the rest of the words, but Yan Xuanye understood what he meant.

Yan Xuanye frowned and asked, "It's fine if I can't protect you, but what about you, sir? Is there anything wrong with you?"

"If we can't save this fetus, I'm afraid it will cause great harm to the mother. The best way is to save this fetus. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have to carefully take care of it for half a year to a year."

"And during this period, it is not advisable to have children to avoid harming the mother."

Yan Xuanye nodded, "I understand. Go down and boil the medicine."

"Also, bring the pregnancy-preserving medicine over later. If she refuses to drink it, I will feed her myself."

"Yes."

The room was filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere. Yan Xuanye stayed beside Su Qingci's bed, feeling full of guilt.

He had thought that Su Qingci might come to eavesdrop, so he deliberately asked in more detail, but he didn't expect that Lu Huan's death would be such a big blow to her.

What would happen to her if Lu Huan really died?

After being sad for a while, I think things will get better.
