After sleeping for half the night, Meng Yin woke up the next morning and shouted, "Gu Ling!"

The person beside the bed paused when he heard her words and turned around to look at her.

Meng Yin was completely awake, frowning: "Gu Huai? Where's Gu Ling? He was poisoned, how is he now?"

Gu Huai handed her a glass of water and said, "I have temporarily suppressed the poison in his body."

Meng Yin put the water on the table and said anxiously, "So there's nothing you can do? No, have they sent anyone to find a miracle doctor?"

Gu Huai said: "He only has two days left. The miracle doctor is nowhere to be found. By the time he arrives, Gu Ling will be dead."

"What did you say?" Meng Yin asked in a trembling voice, "Then... who else can save him?"

As she spoke, she bent her knees and tears flowed like a dam breaking.

Gu Huai took out a handkerchief from his bosom and gave it to her, saying, "Ayin, I have a way to save him, but I have a condition."

Meng Yin was stunned. She didn't take the handkerchief. She suddenly grabbed his sleeve and cried, "What conditions? I can agree to them all!"

Gu Huai lowered his eyes for a while. Meng Yin was about to urge him, but he suddenly said, "Marry me."

"What?" Meng Yin suspected that she had heard it wrong.

"I want you to marry me."

"Gu Ling is poisoned...you actually want me...to marry you?" Meng Yin said in disbelief.

Gu Huai nodded and said concisely: "As long as you marry me, I will detoxify him."

Meng Yin shook her head and said, "What do you think? If I marry you and he wakes up, do you think you can still survive?"

Gu Huai said: "That's for the future. Now I just want you to marry me."

Meng Yin let go of him, lowered her head heavily, sighed, raised her head, with suspicion and hatred in her eyes: "Is it you?"

Gu Huai didn't answer, Meng Yin continued: "Did you poison Gu Ling? Did you send that signal?"

Gu Huai pursed his lips and said, "I said no, do you believe it?"

Meng Yin said coldly: "I have to doubt you now. As soon as Gu Ling was poisoned, you took advantage of him. I really don't understand what you were thinking."

Gu Huai said softly: "No need to figure it out, just put it simply, you marry me and I will save him."

Meng Yin pushed him and said angrily, "He is still unconscious, and you want me to marry you? How can you guarantee that you can wake him up? How can you guarantee that you are not lying?"

Gu Huai looked at her, not bothered by her anger, and said, "I mean what I say."

He added, "If he dies, it will not be good for the Gu family or the Soul Devouring Palace."

"It's good for you, isn't it?" Meng Yin sneered, "If I marry you, I'm afraid he'll go crazy when he wakes up."

Gu Huai said: "If you don't marry me, he will die."

After hearing this, Meng Yin completely broke down and cried while holding onto the blanket. Gu Huai reached out to pat her on the back, but she glared back.

Meng Yin said: "Are you so sure that you are the only one who can detoxify?"

Gu Huai knew in his heart that only he could cure this poison.

He said, "I'm not sure, but time is running out. If you promise me, I will suppress his poison right now, and I will detoxify him on the day you marry me."

Meng Yin asked painfully, "What good will it do you to do this?"

Gu Huai looked at her and said slowly: "Marrying me is the greatest benefit."

Meng Yin really didn't want to say anything more to him, so she got up and walked unsteadily to find Gu Ling.

Qiao Yi and Duan Yan were waiting outside. When they saw her wake up, Duan Yan burst into tears and said, "Sister Yin! Sister Yin! Lord Gu…"

Meng Yin held back her tears and met Gu Ling with the help of the two.

The bruises under his eyes were darker and his skin was paler. He lay there, breathing lightly. He no longer had the fierceness of the past and looked innocent and fragile.

Meng Yin threw herself on him and burst into tears.

Qiao Yi said, "Madam... the doctor said that he would not have survived last night. It was only because Master Gu Huai came to help that..."

Meng Yin turned around suddenly and saw Gu Huai standing at the door, one hand on the door frame, looking down at her.

Meng Yin went to see Gu Ling again and kept calling him.

"Are there no other doctors?" Meng Yin asked.

Duan Ran said: "They don't know what kind of poison this is..."

Meng Yin closed her eyes, wiped her tears, let go of Gu Ling's hand, stood up and walked towards Gu Huai.

"I promise you." Meng Yin said in a crying voice.

"By marrying you, you have to make sure he gets better and nothing else happens."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room turned their eyes to Duan Yan, who shouted, "Sister Yin!"

Qiao Yi ran forward and said anxiously, "Madam, are you really going to do this? According to Master Gu's temper, if you marry him, he will take you back!"

Meng Yin turned her head and smiled at her, saying, "Let him get better first."

She looked at Gu Huai, and he smiled at her and said, "Okay."

He walked to Gu Ling's bed and was blocked by a sudden sword.

"Madam, you don't have to agree to such conditions." Duan Ran said, raising the sword to Gu Huai's neck, with obvious threats in his words.

Gu Huai was not afraid at all. Instead, he reached out to grab the sword. Blood flowed from his fingers. He said, "You can try. I won't detoxify you even if I die."

Duan Ran choked: "You!"

Duan Yan rushed over and hugged her brother, crying, "Brother, please don't! If Lord Gu dies, Sister Yin will be very sad!"

Meng Yin fell on the chair and sighed, "Duan Ran, don't kill him. The Soul Devouring Hall needs Gu Ling now, so he got the jade slip..."

The room fell silent, with only the sound of Duan Ran retracting his sword.

Gu Huai stepped forward, condensed his energy into his fingertips, pressed a few acupoints of Gu Ling forcefully, and fed him another pill.

Meng Yin stood up and saw Gu Ling frowning. He did not wake up, but dark red blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Meng Yin quickly wiped it off with a wet towel and asked, "What's going on?"

Gu Huai said: "It's okay, but the poison is too strong."

He looked at Gu Ling's wrist, where there was a very obvious purple-blue mark, as if something was blocking his forearm, unable to go up or down.

His inner strength is so strong that he can stop the poison from spreading. He doesn't want to die? He sighed in his heart.

Meng Yin asked: "When will you wake up?"

Gu Huai looked at her and said, "I will detoxify him the day you marry me, but I'm not sure when he will wake up."

Meng Yin didn't answer him, but slowly squatted down, and after a long while, she said, "Okay...you go and get ready, keep it simple, okay?"

To her surprise, Gu Huai did not refute and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

After he left, Meng Yin said to the people in the room, "You all go out. Duan Ran, go check who sent out the flare that day?"

Duan Ran agreed and took Duan Yan away.

Qiao Yi stepped forward, put his hand on Meng Yin's shoulder, and said, "Madam... are you really going to promise Master Gu? When Master Gu wakes up, he will..."

Meng Yin said, "Let's wait until he wakes up. Now only Gu Huai can save him." She took Gu Ling's hand, put her cheek between his palms, and said sadly, "Gu Ling just got the jade slip, he can't die..."

Qiao Yi's eyes started to warm up, and he could only comfort her: "Don't worry, Madam. When the master wakes up, you will return to him."

Meng Yin nodded and said, "I know that if he sees me and Gu Huai getting married, he will definitely... If he wakes up that day, don't tell him. I'm afraid he will get angry and hurt himself."

She couldn't understand why Gu Huai did this, knowing Gu Ling's temper? Was it just to let her marry him once? Gu Ling didn't care about this at all. He was afraid that he would kill Gu Huai to get her back.

Qiao Yi wanted to say something, but Meng Yin said, "Qiao Yi, go out first. I'll keep him company."

Qiao Yi nodded, and the moment he closed the door, Meng Yin's tears fell on his hands.

Meng Yin cried, "I'm sorry, Gu Ling."

She didn't dare to imagine how panicked Gu Ling must have been when he saw the flare after finally getting the jade slip. What would happen if he was ambushed, woke up without seeing her, and instead received the news that she had married Gu Huai?

Meng Yin stood up, bent down and kissed him on the forehead, put her hands on his cheeks, and whispered: "Gu Ling, there is still a long way to go between us. Wait until you get better, then blame me, okay?"
