Long Xinghe's emotions were complex, eventually turning into a sharp pain in her heart: "Wu Ya..."
"A Li..." Feng Wuya, however, only cared about the person he was meant to remember.
Long Xinghe didn't know what to feel, a mix of pain and unwillingness.
So he wasn't truly detached from worldly affairs; he did have someone he cared about.
It was just that he never spoke of it, never showed any sign.
No one knew his feelings, no one cared who truly occupied his heart.
At least, those people didn't care.
Her foolish Wu Ya!
"A Li..." Feng Wuya's hand fell onto his chest, fumbling weakly.
He seemed to be searching for something.
Long Xinghe, with her sharp eyes, noticed the pendant hanging around his neck.
She quickly took it and held it before him: "Are you looking for this?"
But what was this thing?
The pendant seemed to have a hidden clasp.
"A Li..." Feng Wuya tried to reach for the pendant, but he had no strength, not even enough to lift his hand.
But Long Xinghe knew he wanted this pendant.
"Is it something Chu Qianli gave you?" she asked hoarsely.
Feng Wuya didn't answer her question, perhaps he didn't even know who he was talking to.
He might not even know that someone was by his side.
He had completely fallen into his own disordered consciousness, and his consciousness was slowly fading.
"A Li..."
Every time Long Xinghe heard him call out, her heart ached a little more.
But in the end, she made up her mind and decided to return the pendant to him.
Unexpectedly, as she was about to place the pendant in his hand, her long fingers accidentally brushed against the hidden clasp.
With a click, the clasp opened.
Long Xinghe was stunned!
The pendant was actually a small box, containing a pill.
A pill that couldn't possibly belong to this era.
A pill she had taken once when she was close to death during a mission.
A Li's pill!
Chu Qianli... A Li...
She froze for a good two seconds.
After two seconds, Long Xinghe's eyes darkened, and she decisively took out the pill and placed it in Feng Wuya's mouth.
The pill dissolved instantly upon contact, quickly sliding down his throat.
The medicine researched by Chu Qianli could detoxify all poisons...
At that moment, Long Xinghe's feelings were indescribably complex.
She hoped it was indeed Chu Qianli's medicine, yet she felt uneasy. If this Chu Qianli were truly the Chu Qianli of the 21st century...
In the end, she thought of nothing else.
The only thought was that Feng Wuya must live.
Only if he lived would her life have meaning.
Whether it was Chu Qianli or not, it didn't matter to her now.
After taking the medicine, Feng Wuya's eyes seemed even more clouded, his gaze hazy.
After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly coughed, spitting out a mouthful of black blood after a few coughs.
"Wu Ya!" Long Xinghe immediately helped him up, her heart shattered by fear!
"Wu Ya, how are you? How are you?"
Feng Wuya, however, closed his eyes and fainted completely.
"Wu Ya!"
"Princess, we have arrived!"
Jiang Tao jumped down from the carriage, saying urgently, "Someone! Get a doctor here! Quickly!"
...
Chu Qianli, walking ahead, suddenly felt her legs go weak, and with a thud, she knelt on one knee.
Feng Yexuan narrowed his eyes, staring at her back.
He could see clearly that she hadn't been hit by any hidden weapons!
"What trick are you trying to play now?" Despite his words, he quickly walked to her and pulled her up.
"I don't know, it's just... my chest suddenly hurt so much that my legs went weak."
Chu Qianli took a deep breath. She stood up, her legs no longer weak, but her heart still felt numb.
There was an indescribable feeling, very unpleasant.
She looked up at Feng Yexuan.
The Great Hero still wore his mask, his face unreadable.
She hadn't looked at him just now, nor had she thought about anything related to him. She was still contemplating how to rescue Long Ziyue and Prince Ding after they returned.
She wasn't thinking about anything that would make her uncomfortable, so why did her heart suddenly ache so intensely?
It felt as if a sword had pierced it!
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself.
Looking up, Dragon City was not far.
"Great Hero, there seems to be some unusual activity in Dragon City."
The closer they got to Dragon City, the more she could feel the surging atmosphere in the air.
A fighting atmosphere.
Could it be that something had already happened within Dragon City?
Feng Yexuan stopped, looking in the direction of Dragon City.
From their current position, one path led directly into the city, and the other led to Wei Qiong's military camp.
Further away from Dragon City, in another direction, was Prince Ding's army.
But beyond these two armies, in Ji City next to Dragon City, was the Empress's grand army.
She had never seen so many troops stationed inside and outside the imperial city of any country.
This internal strife alone was enough to give the Empress of Long Teng country a headache.
No wonder there had been no signs of aggression towards other countries for so many years.
They simply had no extra energy!
"You go to Wei Qiong's military camp."
Feng Yexuan withdrew his gaze, looked back at Chu Qianli, and said, "Stay in Wei Qiong's military camp until you receive further news. Do not act rashly."
"You're going into the city alone?" Chu Qianli knew that there was some commotion in Dragon City at this moment.
Entering the city would be dangerous.
But for him to face it alone, wasn't that looking down on her?
She wasn't someone who needed protection.
Feng Yexuan's indifferent eyes stared at her somewhat defiant face: "I will have Wei Qiong find you as soon as possible."
"You're going to rescue Ziyue and Prince Ding?" She finally understood his intention.
After Chu Qianli returned to Dragon City, besides conveying General Wei Xian's instructions to Wei Qiong and ordering her to act,
The most important task next was naturally to rescue Prince Ding and Long Ziyue, who were trapped in the palace.
If Prince Ding and Long Ziyue didn't return, their actions would be hindered at every step.
"But... even though your martial arts are powerful, entering the palace alone is still dangerous."
"Taking you with me would be the real danger," Feng Yexuan snorted coldly.
With a lift of his leg, he actually walked away.
Chu Qianli stamped her foot in anger. She wasn't that weak; he was just too strong.
However, she didn't have much time to argue with him now.
Turning around, Chu Qianli headed towards Wei Qiong's military camp at her fastest speed.
Wei Qiong was not present, but her most trusted deputy, Ming Hong, was waiting for Chu Qianli.
"Give this token to General Wei, and this letter is from Old General Wei to her. She will know what to do next."
"Miss Chu, what about you?" Ming Hong was somewhat surprised, why did she seem to be leaving?
Chu Qianli didn't know why she had a premonition of misfortune.
It was as if she could leave at any moment.
"Deliver this to General Wei tonight. As for other matters, we'll discuss them after I see her."
"Alright!" Ming Hong took the items and, without any delay, personally rushed to the military camp within the city.
There was no assistance between the two military camps; it would only take an hour for him to see Wei Qiong.
As for Chu Qianli, her premonition was indeed correct!
At midnight that night, as she left the military camp and before entering Dragon City, she encountered someone rushing out from the city.
Jiang Tao!
"Miss Chu, please, save Prince Xiaoyao!"
