After everyone finished their meal at the restaurant, Song Zhili went downstairs and asked the waiter to pack some food for them. Then she asked Qingzhu to wait there while she, He Chengjing, and He Miaomiao took Amuyi back to the inn.

About half an hour had passed during their meal. As soon as they returned to the inn, Song Zhili saw Qing Shuang rushing out of Qing Feng's room with a joyful expression on her face.

"Qingshuang, Qingfeng, what's wrong now? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Qing Shuang rushed out anxiously, intending to inform Song Zhili and Qing Feng about their situation. Now that she saw Song Zhili and He Chengjing had returned, she happily ran forward.

"Madam, Qingfeng, he... he's awake."

Seeing Qing Shuang so happy, Song Zhili was surprised to hear that Qing Feng had woken up. She thought that it was fine since he had woken up, so why was she so excited?

Thinking this, she pulled He Chengjing and walked quickly into Qingfeng's room. As soon as they entered the room, Song Zhili saw Qingfeng kneeling on one knee in front of them.

"My lord, my mistress, I have failed in my duty. Please punish me."

Song Zhili and He Chengjing exchanged a glance, not expecting that Qingfeng's awakening, as Qingshuang had mentioned earlier, meant that he was truly awake!

He Miaomiao, who was standing behind them, also saw Qingfeng's condition. She excitedly walked quickly to Qingfeng.

"Qingfeng, are you awake now? Do you remember what happened before? Where's Xiao Liu? Why did you come back alone? Why isn't Xiao Liu here? Did something happen to him?"

He Miaomiao's barrage of questions left Qingfeng somewhat bewildered, as his memory was still stuck on the time when he fled back to Xia Shang Kingdom.

He had just woken up and saw Qing Shuang, but he didn't ask any questions. He assumed that he had returned to the Prince's Mansion and didn't even notice that he was staying at an inn.

"Qingfeng, I'm asking you a question, so hurry up and answer! Is Xiao Liu alright?"

Seeing that Qingfeng remained silent for a long time, He Miaomiao became somewhat anxious and asked again.

Song Zhili knew He Miaomiao's feelings at this moment. She glanced at Amuyi, who was standing behind Qingshuang, and gave Qingshuang a wink.

Qing Shuang immediately understood Song Zhili's meaning. She turned to look at Amuyi, and casually found an excuse to take him out first.

After they left, Song Zhili spoke to Qingfeng, who was still kneeling on the ground.

"Qingfeng, get up first. Do you remember what happened before? Where is Cui Xiaoliu? Didn't you escort him to Northern Qi? Why did you go back alone? Where did he go?"

Upon hearing Song Zhili's question, Qingfeng stood up from the ground and then slowly began to recount the events that had transpired after he and Cui Xiaoliu arrived in Northern Qi.

It turns out that at that time, he and the team arranged by He Chengjing secretly infiltrated Northern Qi, and at first, everything was peaceful.

However, someone leaked the news, and their whereabouts were discovered by the third prince of Northern Qi. He immediately sent men to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

The Third Prince sent out several hundred men, while Qingfeng's group only had a few dozen, making them no match for them at all.

Fortunately, they had the grenades that Song Zhili had given them earlier, which allowed them to escape safely with Cui Xiaoliu.

But later, they somehow ended up in a dense forest, and the deepest part of that forest was filled with white mist.

At this point, he and Cui Xiaoliu escaped into the dense forest. To avoid being pursued, they separated after entering the forest.

Qingfeng originally planned to wait for the white mist in the dense forest to dissipate before looking for Cui Xiaoliu, but he waited for a long time in the cave in the dense forest, and the white mist still did not dissipate.

Finally, having no other choice and still worried that Cui Xiaoliu might encounter some danger, he went out to search for her.

He searched for two days but still couldn't find Cui Xiaoliu. When he got thirsty, he drank some stream water in the woods.

But after he drank the water, he clearly felt extremely uncomfortable, with a slight pain in his abdomen.

He immediately took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket and swallowed the pills inside.

The medicine in this small porcelain bottle was prepared for them by Song Zhili before they set off; it was just some simple antidote pills.

This antidote can cure most poisons, unless they are extremely potent.

Qingfeng felt better after taking the medicine, and he continued searching in the forest for two more days. When he still couldn't find Cui Xiaoliu and the others, he had no choice but to give up.

After leaving the forest, he planned to return to Xia Shang Kingdom to inform He Chengjing. At the same time, he also sent a letter to He Chengjing.

After leaving the forest, he found no enemies guarding the outside. He quickly went into the city, bought a horse, and planned to ride back to the Xia Shang Kingdom at full speed.

He rode his horse for nearly three days. Finally, he arrived at the city where Song Zhili and the others were staying.

Upon arriving here, he clearly felt extremely uncomfortable again, so he took out the antidote pill that Song Zhili had given him and ate it. However, this time it had no effect, and he fainted on the road not far outside the city due to the discomfort.

Fortunately, he was quite lucky and encountered a traveling doctor who rescued him. After examining him, the doctor knew that he had been poisoned by a Gu poison, but he didn't know much about Gu techniques.

He took Qingfeng back to his residence and then studied the Gu worm in his body for several days. Seeing that Qingfeng had not woken up, he kept trying different methods to treat him.

In the end, he could only fight poison with poison, feeding Qingfeng several kinds of poison, and Qingfeng finally woke up. But what Qingfeng woke up to was that the person in front of him had saved him.

After thanking him, he thought that he was at a critical juncture and needed to return to Xia Shang Kingdom to inform He Chengjing. So, while the traveling doctor was gathering herbs on the mountain, he took out some silver, placed it on the table, and left.

He ran wildly towards the Xia Shang Kingdom, and just as he was about to reach the capital, he suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable.

He doesn't know how he fell off the horse, and he knows nothing about what happened after that. When he woke up again, it was this time.

After listening to Qingfeng's account, Song Zhili and He Miaomiao were extremely anxious when He Miaomiao heard that Cui Xiaoliu had disappeared.

"Qingfeng, do you still remember where the forest you parted ways in is? Could you take us there again?"

When He Miaomiao thought about how Cui Xiaoliu had also disappeared in that forest, she realized that he might have been unintentionally poisoned by the Gu technique, just like Qingfeng.

What would have happened to Cui Xiaoliu if he hadn't been as lucky as Qingfeng and been saved by a traveling doctor? Would he have died?

The more He Miaomiao thought about this, the more frightened she became. Her face showed worry and anxiety, and she kept her eyes fixed on Qingfeng, waiting for his answer.
