The whole family was brutally murdered? The ruthless heiress's eldest daughter went berserk aft

Seeing that Nangong Yifeng's convulsions were getting more and more violent, Liuli stomped her foot, turned around, and ran out.

"Where are you going, Liuli?" Murong Xuewei called out as she turned around.

Liuli, who used to respond immediately to Murong Xuewei's call, did not respond this time.

Even without Liuli saying anything, Murong Xuewei could guess what Liuli was going to do. Murong Xuewei sighed and let Liuli go out.

Murong Xuewei sat on the edge of the bed, staring intently at the unconscious Nangong Yifeng, occasionally glancing towards the door.

Suddenly, footsteps broke the silence. Liuli led Zhang Jing in and walked expressionlessly to the bedside.

Zhang Jing reached out and placed his hand on Nangong Yifeng's pulse, closed his eyes to feel for a moment, then opened his eyes and said calmly, "It's nothing serious, the poison has been neutralized."

Upon hearing this, Murong Xuewei and Gu Ye felt a great sense of relief.

"Then why is Young Master Nangong still unconscious and looking so unwell?" Liuli asked anxiously.

Gu Ye stepped forward and asked in a deep voice, "Doctor Zhang, when will His Highness the Southern Palace wake up?"

Zhang Jing glanced at Gu Ye, his tone still indifferent: "It's just because his body is too weak and the medicine is too strong. He will wake up by noon tomorrow at the latest." With that, he turned to leave.

"Dr. Zhang!" Murong Xuewei hurriedly called out to him, "I also wanted to ask, is there any other poison in Nangong Yifeng's body?"

Zhang Jing stopped in his tracks, without turning around, and simply said, "As I said, the poison has been neutralized. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." Without waiting for Murong Xuewei to speak again, he strode away.

Silence fell in the room once more. Murong Xuewei and Gu Ye exchanged a glance, then both looked at Liuli simultaneously.

"Xuewei, let's go and rest first. Leave things here to Liuli," Gu Ye said softly.

Murong Xuewei didn't answer, but walked to Liuli's side and asked, "How can you hold on?"

Liuli grasped Murong Xuewei's hand resting on her shoulder. "Don't worry, Madam. I'm a martial artist; going without sleep for a night or two is no problem."

Murong Xuewei hesitated, then finally sighed, "Alright, if you're tired, have a servant watch over you for a while. You go and rest. If anything unusual happens, immediately send someone to summon me and the General."

Liu Li nodded in agreement and watched Murong Xuewei and Gu Ye leave. Only after the door closed did she let out a long sigh, a complex expression flashing in her eyes.

As night deepened, Liuli stood guard by Nangong Yifeng's bedside, her thoughts swirling. She recalled everything that had happened, and a bitter feeling welled up inside her.

"Young Master Nangong, I know I am but a servant, unworthy of you. Yet, I cannot help but fall for you. You know, when my wife and I were doing business with you in Qu Kingdom, we were somewhat disgusted by your纨绔 (wán kù, a spoiled, dissolute young man) ways. I don't know why, but now I find you to be incredibly straightforward and righteous."

Liuli picked up a handkerchief from the side, wet it, and muttered to herself as she wiped Nangong Yifeng's hands.

"I only dare to say these things when you're asleep. I really wouldn't dare say them to your face. Do you... remember the first time we met?"

Just as Liuli was still reminiscing, Nangong Yifeng on the bed suddenly stirred.

"Your Highness?" Liuli quickly moved closer and called out softly.

Nangong Yifeng slowly opened his eyes, his gaze somewhat unfocused. He looked at Liuli, his lips moving slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

Liuli quickly brought over a glass of water and carefully helped Nangong Yifeng sit up, supporting him against the headboard. "Your Highness, how are you feeling?"

Nangong Yifeng took a sip of water and said in a hoarse voice, "Much better... Liuli, thank you."

Liuli shook her head. "It's all thanks to Doctor Zhang and General Madam. Your Highness, please rest well. I'll go tell Madam you're awake."

"Wait." Nangong Yifeng suddenly grabbed Liuli's hand, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

Liuli was taken aback and turned to look at Nangong Yifeng. "Your Highness, is there something else?"

Nangong Yifeng forced a smile and shook his head. "It's nothing, my hands just got a little numb from lying down for so long."

Liuli smiled slightly, "Then I'll massage it for you later! A little more massage will make it less numb."

Nangong Yifeng slowly released Liuli's hand.

Liuli paused for a moment, then gently withdrew her hand. "Your Highness, you've just woken up and need to rest. I'll go and call the Madam and the General." With that, she quickly left the room.

As Nangong Yifeng watched Liuli's departing figure, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

Nangong Yifeng looked down at his hands, as if he could still feel the warmth of his glassy palms.

Liuli didn't know that Nangong Yifeng was actually aware of everything around him while he was unconscious, including what they said and what they did.

Therefore, Nangong Yifeng clearly heard what Liuli said just now.

In Nangong Yifeng's memory, he always regarded Liuli as a friend, and there was no romantic feeling between them.

If you didn't hear what Liuli said, you can pretend you didn't know, continue to play dumb, and treat Liuli as an ordinary friend.

Just as Nangong Yifeng hadn't figured this out yet...

Gu Ye had rushed over. He walked to the bedside, looking at Nangong Yifeng with a complicated expression, "Your Highness, how are you feeling?"

Nangong Yifeng forced a smile, "Thank you for your concern, General. I'm much better now. However... my poisoning might cause considerable trouble for the negotiations between our two countries."

Gu Ye said in a deep voice, "Your Highness need not worry. Your health is the most important thing right now. As for the negotiations, I will handle them properly."

Just then, hurried footsteps sounded outside the door. Liuli pushed the door open, her expression panicked. "Madam, something terrible has happened! The Qu Kingdom delegation has sent word that someone has been poisoned!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Ye and Nangong Yifeng's expressions changed drastically. Nangong Yifeng tried to get up, but Gu Ye pressed him down, saying, "Your Highness, don't move. I'll go check on the situation."

Gu Ye left in a hurry, leaving Murong Xuewei and Liuli to stay by Nangong Yifeng's side. Nangong Yifeng frowned and asked, "What exactly happened?"

Murong Xuewei sighed and briefly told Nangong Yifeng about the conspiracy that Liuli had overheard and their response.

After listening, Nangong Yifeng's expression turned grave. "I didn't expect things to be so complicated. Xuewei, thank you for risking your life to tell me. But... Zhao Lie, he..."

Just as Murong Xuewei was about to answer, a commotion suddenly arose outside the door. A moment later, Uncle Lin rushed into the room with Zhao Lie, his face ashen.

"Your Highness!" Zhao Lie breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing Nangong Yifeng unharmed, but his anger quickly returned. "Today, I caught Zhou Xiong in the kitchen trying to poison us. Everyone was supposed to be poisoning us, but at the crucial moment, Zhou Xiong turned around and accused me of trying to poison everyone! Now the entire delegation doesn't trust me anymore!"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yifeng frowned. "There must be something fishy about this. Zhao Lie, don't panic. Tell me in detail what happened."

Zhao Lie took a deep breath and recounted the events in detail. It turned out that after listening to Murong Xuewei's advice, he had been paying closer attention to Zhou Xiong in the team.

Tonight, he caught Zhou Xiong in the kitchen as he was about to poison someone. But Zhou Xiong turned around and accused Zhao Lie of being the one who poisoned him. The envoy from Qu Kingdom believed Zhou Xiong and immediately expelled Zhao Lie from the group.

After listening, Nangong Yifeng pondered for a moment, "It seems Zhou Xiong planned this all along. Zhao Lie, you stay here for now, we'll discuss this further."

Zhao Lie nodded in agreement, then noticed Nangong Yifeng drinking his medicine and asked with concern, "Your Highness, your health..."

Nangong Yifeng waved his hand, "It's alright, thanks to General Gu and Miss Murong. Zhao Lie, you must be tired too, go and rest. We'll discuss our strategy again tomorrow."
