Inside the Yunqing Palace.

Ning Chen deliberately slowed down his pace, and his eyes were always glued to the slender and weak figure on the bed from the moment he entered the room.

Different from the indifference and callousness she showed outside just now, Ning Chen's eyes were now filled with tenderness and heartache, as if she could feel the pain in Tang Yu's body, and felt the pain that she felt, and hated what she hated.

Xiaotao and Xiaoyuan noticed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came in, and they looked at each other calmly.

They had just heard the screams outside and the sound of Ning Liangyuan being taken away.

All their actions were anticipated by their master, and every step was now being carried out according to their master's plan, whether it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince punishing those servants or convicting Ning Liangyuan.

All was within the master's expectations.

Exactly.

The two turned around and were about to salute.

Ning Chen raised his hand to stop him, his eyes fixed on the pale and weak Tang Yu lying on the bed, "How is your master? Is there any sign of awakening?"

Although Xiaoyuan and Xiaotao have not been with Tang Yu for a long time, they have now been taught by Tang Yu to be able to act and perform well.

When they said this, tears immediately fell from their eyes, and they sobbed with grief and heartache.

"To... to reply to Your Highness, the master does not show any sign of being awake. We even touched the master's hand just now and felt it getting colder." Xiaoyuan's tears kept falling.

Xiaotao watched the Crown Prince look heartbroken and remorseful, and continued with Xiaoyuan's words.

"Your Highness, please forgive me for my presumptuous behavior. Can the imperial physician really cure the master? We just heard the imperial physician say that it was a poisonous snake king and that a blood transfusion was needed. The master is already in poor health. Can he really bear it? Your Highness!"

Every word Xiaoyuan and Xiaotao said was like a thorn in Ning Chen's heart.

Let him blame himself all the time and understand it clearly.

She was injured last time to save him, and this time she was injured to save his child.

He had clearly promised her that he would not let her get hurt and would protect her well.

But the result is.

Ning Chen just felt ashamed.

Under normal circumstances, even his father and mother would not dare to ask him this, but he knew the loyalty and importance of these two maids to Yu'er.

Naturally I won't blame you.

Then he said firmly, "Yes, the imperial physician will cure Yu'er, Yu'er will be fine, I will not let anything happen to her!! Absolutely not."

The more he spoke, the more determined he became, as if he was not only answering Xiaoyuan and Xiaotao, but also speaking to himself.

He swore that he would never let her get hurt again.

Xiaoyuan and Xiaotao were so excited that they burst into tears but kept nodding while suppressing their tears.

"Okay, you guys go out, I will stay with Yu'er for a while."

The two of them bowed and left.

As the palace door closed, only the "unconscious" Tang Yu and Ning Chen were left in the room.

Ning Chen didn't move, he didn't even dare to approach her.

The self-blame in his heart and the fear that Yu'er would never wake up again restricted his steps. The unprecedented fear was like a vine that tightly wrapped around his heart, bringing a sharp and swollen pain all the time.

After an unknown amount of time, Ning Chen finally approached Tang Yu step by step and sat on the low stool in front of the couch.

The big hands with thin calluses gently wrapped around her slightly cool little hands, and the love and affection surged and echoed endlessly in her chest.

"Yu'er, wake up quickly. I'm really scared. Please open your eyes and look at me. I apologize to you. I clearly promised you last time that I would help you punish the people who bullied you, but I didn't do it. Not only that, I was too guilty to come to see you and avoided you. It's all my fault.
