Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Tuoba Liuli's face was covered by a light veil, but even so, one could still vaguely see through the veil that her face was covered with blue spots.

This was something even Yuwen Ying hadn't anticipated.

However, before she asked Tuoba Liuli to help Chu Xiaohe draw out the Gu, she had already made it very clear to Tuoba Liuli that there would be some uncertainties.

The poison was administered by her older sister, Yuwen Ya. Yuwen Ying's skills were not yet refined, and she was far less capable than her sister Yuwen Ya. For her, being able to remove the poison from Chu Xiaohe was already a great success.

As for Tuoba Liuli's current condition, it is indeed not her fault; she has done her best.

At this moment, Tuoba Liuli's face was not only ruined by the Gu poison, but her body was also in very bad condition.

She seemed fine on the first night, but on the second day, while taking care of Chu Xiaohe, she suddenly started vomiting blood.

After finally stopping the vomiting of blood, the poison suddenly flared up again, causing him to writhe in pain on the ground.

Even as she rolled on the ground, tears welling in her eyes from the pain, she bit her lip tightly to keep herself from making a sound.

She was afraid that Chu Xiaohe would hear her voice.

Seeing her like this, Huo Qing and Miao Yucui felt heartbroken.

"This child has really suffered." Miao Yucui sat down by the bed, looking at her mottled little face under the thin veil.

She also had two deep scars on her lips, which she had bitten herself to keep from screaming when the poison took effect last night.

"How are you feeling today?" Miao Yucui asked.

Tuoba Liuli forced a smile and tried to speak, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she remembered that her throat had been very sore when she spoke earlier that day.

Asking about Chu Xiaohe's condition had almost exhausted all her strength.

Tuoba Liuli nodded, then shook her head.

Zisu looked at Miao Yucui and said, "Her throat is not good; it hurts when she speaks."

Huo Qing felt a pang of sadness and came over to hold Tuoba Liuli's hand.

Unexpectedly, this hand was ice cold, without any warmth at all.

Huo Qing became anxious: "Is she cold? Zisu, get her another blanket."

"You can't cover her up anymore, she's sweating." Zisu had been covering her with the blanket because she noticed her hands were too cold.

Who knew that even after sweating, the young mistress's hands were still cold and wouldn't warm up at all.

Her body was too weak and frail; she looked like a rag doll on the verge of collapse.

This is truly worrying.

"Li'er, are you really not going to tell Xiao He?" After all, she became like this because of Chu Xiao He. If Chu Xiao He dares to despise her, everyone in their Duke's Mansion will never forgive her!

Huo Qing also said, "Xiao He is not such a shallow person. No matter what you become, he will never change his heart towards you. Why do you have to hide it from him?"

“I’m not afraid of him seeing me like this, this face.”

Tuoba Liuli's voice was very hoarse.

Zisu quickly said, "Young Madam, you just took the medicine, so please try not to talk. Princess Yingying will come over later to check on the condition of the Gu worms in your body."

Zisu looked at the two ladies and explained, "The young mistress is not afraid that her face will be ruined and that the young master will be disgusted with her. She is worried that her current situation will distract the young master."

Although Tuoba Liuli didn't speak, she clearly agreed with what Zisu said, nodding repeatedly at Huo Qing.

Huo Qing and Miao Yucui exchanged glances.

This child is so well-behaved, it breaks my heart!
