Shocking! Five men are in love with the same woman!

Yunmeng's body began to sway and slowly fell backward.

Lingyan's mind went blank, but her body, driven by instinct, rushed forward.

Her eyes were filled with terror and despair, and her outstretched hands trembled slightly.

Then he rushed to Yunmeng's side as fast as he could and caught her as she slowly fell to the ground.

At this moment, Lingyan held Yunmeng tightly in her arms, as if she were holding the most precious treasure in the world.

She bent her body slightly, holding Yunmeng tightly in her arms, as if afraid that Yunmeng would disappear if she let go.

Yunmeng's body was very light, yet it felt as if it weighed a thousand pounds, making it hard for Lingyan to breathe.

Lingyan felt the warmth of Yunmeng, and that familiar scent made her heart ache.

Her tears blurred her vision, falling drop by drop onto Yunmeng's face.

"Yunmeng, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Lingyan's voice trembled, filled with helplessness and sorrow.

She gently stroked Yunmeng's hair, trying to offer her some comfort.

She then frantically searched her body for herbs to stop the bleeding, her hands trembling uncontrollably.

At that moment, she had only one thought in her mind: she had to save Yunmeng's life.

Seeing this, Yunmeng laughed intermittently and said, "Miss... it's no use... Miss... your medical skills are so amazing, how could you... not know... that Yunmeng... is... beyond saving? Besides... Yunmeng also... also... followed Miss... to learn medicine since childhood, so Yunmeng knows... that I... I... am beyond saving."

Upon hearing this, Lingyan watched as blood gushed from Yunmeng's wounds, staining her clothes red.

Tears streamed down her face like a burst dam, instantly blurring her vision.

She knew all along, but...

But at this point, she was completely lost.

With a trembling voice and immense grief, she could only say, "Yunmeng, why were you so foolish? Why did you take this sword for me?"

Every word was filled with endless pain and self-blame.

Her heart was filled with anger and self-blame, hating herself for not protecting Yunmeng.

Upon hearing this, Yunmeng's voice was extremely weak, as if it were a gentle breeze drifting from a distant place.

She opened her mouth slightly, struggling to utter each word: "Because...you are...my...Miss! Yunmeng...doesn't want...Miss...to suffer...any harm...Now...I...also...finally...know why...Heaven...let us...meet that day. It turns out...it was to...protect Miss...from a calamity. This...this...perhaps...is...the only...purpose and...meaning...of my life in this world."

Her breath was as faint as a flickering candlelight, as if it could be extinguished at any moment.

But her eyes shone with a resolute light, a kind of unwavering determination that transcended life and death: "To die for... Miss, I would die a worthy death... and have no regrets. Although... I am... Miss's maid, and... older than... Miss, I... always feel... that I am... the younger one... the little sister, while Miss... has always been... the older sister... taking care of me so carefully... all these years. Miss... will always be... my only... salvation, my only... light in my life. So... Yunmeng hopes... that this light... will never... go out."

After speaking, a faint smile appeared on Yunmeng's face—a happy smile as she recalled the beautiful past.

Her mind was filled with memories of her time with Lingyan.

From the moment they first met, the gears of fate began to turn.

That day, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was not dry.

When she was in despair, she appeared like a ray of light, saving her and illuminating her world ever since.

She marveled at the wonder of fate and from then on entrusted her entire life to her mistress.

At this moment, Yunmeng's eyes gradually lost their light, and she slowly closed them, as if she had entered a sweet dream.

The happy smile on her face still lingered, as if telling Lingyan that she was not afraid of death because she had already fulfilled her mission.

Lingyan held Yunmeng's hand tightly, feeling the gradually fading warmth and sensing her life slipping away bit by bit.

Lingyan's body trembled violently; she could not accept the reality before her.

This was the only time in her life she regretted not learning martial arts.

Otherwise, she could have easily dodged or even blocked the sword herself, and Yunmeng wouldn't have died for her.

At this moment, she recalled their past moments and the words she had spoken.

"Miss, studying medicine is very difficult, but Yunmeng will study hard."

“Miss, although Yunmeng is not very smart, she will try her best to keep up with you and not hold you back.”

"Miss, what would you like to eat today? Yunmeng will make it for you."

"Miss, if you'd like to go shopping today, Yunmeng will accompany you."

"Miss, how are you so amazing? You can earn so much money just by talking!"

"Miss, whatever you say or do is right."

"Miss, are you some kind of fairy descended from heaven? Otherwise, why is there nothing that can stump you?"

"Miss, Yunmeng never wants to leave you in this lifetime."

"Miss, Yunmeng is always amazed by your beauty."

“Miss, although Yunmeng doesn’t know martial arts, she will protect you with her life.”

"Your Highness, I never want to get married in this lifetime."

…………

Now, when she recalls these events, she feels unbearable heartache.

Yunmeng, you really did what you said you would do.

Even without martial arts skills, they risked their lives to protect me.

But you have left me forever.

My... sister...

Because she is a modern person, she doesn't place that much importance on hierarchical etiquette.

Therefore, to others, Yunmeng was just one of her maids.

But to her, they were her family, her sister.

He was her only companion for twelve years.

Moreover, before she got married, they only had each other for those eight years.

They were each other's only family.

They relied on and accompanied each other, a bond and time that no one else could match.

This is the only person she has ever truly cared about in her life.

No one can compare to her importance and status in her heart.

So she couldn't believe that the person who had been by her side for so long had left her like this.

So she shook Yunmeng's body frantically, trying to wake her up.

But Yunmeng lay quietly in her arms, offering no response.

Lingyan held Yunmeng tightly, unwilling to let go for a long time.

She seemed to have forgotten the passage of time and everything around her.

In her world, only she and Yunmeng remained, along with endless sorrow and despair.

At this moment, the entire scene fell into a deathly silence.

The sun still shone on the earth, but it could not dispel the deep sorrow and despair.

The assassins hadn't expected this to happen either.

Looking at the scene before them, they were at a loss for what to do.

So they just watched silently.

The silence was finally broken when Ah Liang, who had been knocked unconscious, woke up.

He woke up and saw the scene before him, feeling extremely resentful.

But he knew he couldn't lay a hand on Lingyan in public again, so he could only hold back and find another time later.

Ling Yan heard the sound behind her but did not turn around.

Although at this moment she wished she could kill that Ah Liang, tear him to pieces, and grind his bones to ashes.

But in the end, reason prevailed over emotion.

If she were to attack him or kill him at this moment.

The remaining people would immediately stop believing what she had said and think she was just lying to them.

Although this is indeed the case.

But they would absolutely kill her immediately and without hesitation.

Therefore, she could only refrain from making a move at this moment.

Even though I was on the verge of a breakdown, on the verge of losing control.

But we have to endure it!

Because her life was bought with Yunmeng's life.

Once she reached Bei Li, she would be temporarily safe, and her life would no longer be in their hands.

She will definitely kill him to avenge Yunmeng!
