Chapter 168 Awakening
"Since this kind of Gu can drive two people who love each other further apart, why plant it?"
Yan Guihong slowly lowered his eyelashes, shook his gray beard, and then slowly spoke.
"They are all unfortunate people who have lost themselves in love. They are not firm enough in their feelings, so they want to take this path. They all think they have enough perseverance to withstand this pain and completely control their lovers. But in reality, there are very few people who can truly endure it..."
Yan Guihong shook his head regretfully. Love is ultimately a calamity...
"So, if she can't endure the pain of the love poison attack, she will die..."
Chu Changxun felt as if his throat was blocked by a huge rock, and it was difficult for him to speak.
Yan Guihong raised his cloudy eyes and glanced at him. He didn't say anything, but it seemed as if he had answered him.
The man slowly clenched his fists on the table, and the bulging veins on the back of his hands were obviously scary.
"You can't use this method..."
"So be it."
Jiang Li and Chu Changxun said in unison. The latter's pupils trembled, and then he looked at the girl with great disapproval.
"Princess, this is not a joke. If..."
"Don't try to persuade me, I've already made up my mind."
She had planted the mother Gu, so it wasn't like she had no chance of survival, but Li Jinyuan couldn't wait any longer...
"Xiao Li'er, the pain of being inoculated with the Mother Gu is not something you can endure."
Yan Guihong looked at Jiang Li with a hoarse voice. She knew that the little girl had been very afraid of pain since she was a child, and she simply couldn't bear it...
"Didn't Master also say that as long as the mother Gu and the child Gu are separated, it won't be so painful..."
Jiang Li looked at the two of them with a stiff smile, pretending to be calm and trying to comfort them.
"But you and the Third Prince are husband and wife, how could it be..."
"We should have divorced."
Chu Changfeng and Yan Guihong's eyes widened. They had never expected this kind of answer...
……
Half an hour later,
Jiang Li lay on the edge of the bed, her lips pale.
Seeing Li Jinyuan being fed the reddish-brown medicine, her almond-shaped eyes became moist uncontrollably.
Li Jinyuan, you must wake up...
She took a handkerchief and gently wiped away the medicine residue from the corner of the man's mouth, and suddenly she felt a pain in her heart.
"Well……"
Jiang Li frowned, and the hand holding the handkerchief trembled slightly.
"princess!"
Chu Changxun had been watching her situation, and seeing this, he couldn't wait to carry her to the chaise longue on the other side.
Her body was already weak. Not only did she become infected with the mother Gu in such a short time, but she also lost so much blood as a medicine for the Third Prince. She simply couldn't bear it...
"Elder Yan! Come and see the princess..."
Chu Changxun took Jiang Li's pulse, but it was too disordered at this moment and he couldn't tell anything.
Seeing Yan Guihong coming over, he immediately made room.
At this time, Jiang Li was curled up on the couch in pain. She was so small and looked very insecure.
The old man closed his eyes and felt it for a long time before he let out a sigh.
"It's nothing serious. It's just that the mother insect was a little too active after entering the host body. In addition, Xiao Li'er lost too much blood and couldn't bear it..."
Upon hearing this, Chu Changxun's expression did not improve.
The Third Prince was already deeply poisoned, and the medicine he drank with Zi Gu required Jiang Li's blood as a medicine inducer...
How could there be so much blood flowing in her small body...
Yan Guihong saw his worry and felt that he was much better than Li Junlin.
"Don't worry too much. Xiao Li'er's body is not that weak. Give her some blood-tonifying soup to drink in the next few days. She will recover soon."
"Ah."
The man's voice was muffled and his head was lowered, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
……
"Pear..."
Li Jinyuan frowned. In the picture, the girl was wearing a white dress, a look he rarely saw.
In his memory, Jiang Liduo loved to wear colorful dresses, especially scarlet.
The "Li Li" in front of him was wearing a long gauze dress as white as snow, and was smiling at him gently and distantly.
"Pear?"
For some reason, the girl in front of him felt strange to him. It seemed like he hadn't seen her like this in a long time. This was how she looked when she first entered the mansion...
"Your Highness, my daughter is Jiang Li, not your Li Li."
"What's the meaning……"
Li Jinyuan felt his heartbeat pause for a moment, unable to understand what she meant.
Why did Lili return to her previous appearance? Why didn't she admit that this was her Lili? ...
Jiang Li's eyes were red, but her eyes were empty as she looked at Li Jinyuan.
"Your Highness's questions will all be answered. However, the most important thing now is that she is waiting for you. Don't keep her waiting for too long..."
As soon as the words fell, the girl's snow-white body gradually became transparent, as if she was just a soul coming to convey a message...
"Pear!?"
Li Jinyuan wanted to reach out and grab her, but unexpectedly, under the sudden stimulation, he actually opened his eyes.
Suddenly feeling the strong light, he closed his eyes as if he couldn't adapt, his head buzzing with pain.
"Pear..."
Where is this? What's wrong with him... Why does his body feel stiff and degenerate?
"Prince...Prince, you're awake!"
The basin of water that Yan Yu was holding was dropped to the ground in excitement, splashing water everywhere, but he didn't care about it.
He was afraid that it was his illusion, so he ran to the bed and stared at the man closely.
"I'm really awake...I'm really awake!"
"How do you feel, Your Majesty? I will go find the princess right away!"
Qi Yu was so excited that he was incoherent and just wanted to pull Jiang Li over to see him.
Li Jinyuan rubbed his temples and stopped him in a hoarse voice.
"and many more……"
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?! Are you feeling uncomfortable?!"
Qi Yu approached him with a worried look on his face, his mouth never stopping.
Li Jinyuan had no strength at this time and could only glance at him silently, causing him to fall silent reflexively.
"Your Majesty, you said..."
"How long has this prince been asleep?"
Li Jinyuan frowned slightly. After being awake for such a long time, he remembered some things.
He had passed out after being struck by Ying Chi's poison arrow. He could feel the poison's power and thought he and Lili would be separated forever. But he hadn't expected him to wake up...
"It's been a month... The army has returned to the capital with the great prince, but since you couldn't handle the bumpy ride, the princess took us to stay in a small town on the border."
"We thought we'd return to Beijing after you've recovered a bit."
When Li Jinyuan mentioned Jiang Li, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and the panic of her "leaving" in his dream came over him again.
"Your Highness, do you know how hard the princess has been working during the month you were in a coma? She's visibly lost a lot of weight and doesn't even like to smile anymore..."
