Chapter 264 - 264 Only Three Days Left
264 Only Three Days Left
“Chengxi, do you want Yi Chulin to pity you after he wakes up and sees you like this? Or do you want him to feel guilty? Deng Chengxi, wake up and stop dreaming. He won’t feel any pity or guilt towards you. Can’t you understand? No matter what you do, even if you die from torture for him, he won’t look at you. His heart and even his soul won’t belong to you. Why do you have to embarrass yourself here?!” Xu Qing said resentfully. If only Deng Chengxi could be half as rational as Lei Wangshu.
Deng Chengxi’s body stiffened and she looked pained.
“Chengxi, let’s go.” Although Deng Jiangming blamed Xu Qing for being too harsh, he also knew that if not for this, Deng Chengxi wouldn’t be able to let go. She always thought that as long as she liked him enough and contributed enough, she would eventually be able to move Yi Chulin’s heart. However, relationships were not like that.
Hua Yuncheng smiled cheekily with impatience. Perhaps it was because he had never fallen in love with anyone, but he couldn’t understand how a person could forsake her dignity like this. In the past, he had felt envious. After all, it wasn’t bad to have such a devoted person. However, now, he suddenly felt afraid. If he was Yi Chulin, he might feel annoyed. Love that was too obsessive was ridiculous to cold-hearted people. Otherwise, Yi Chulin wouldn’t have driven himself crazy.
In the end, Deng Chengxi was forcefully carried away by Deng Jiangming. As her brother, he couldn’t take it either.
Xu Qing looked at Yi Chulin, who was still unconscious on the bed, and sighed slightly. “Ying Zhiyao, if you don’t come back soon, Yi Chulin will really be screwed up for good!”
As time passed, Xu Qing became even more worried about Qiao Yanhui’s health. Originally, Qiao Yanhui still had more than a year left, but after he was poisoned by Ao Heng last time, less than a year was left. Now that half a year had passed, she had to get the hundred-year-old dragon robe. As for the lingzhi immortal grass, Xu Qing wasn’t worried about not being able to get it. After Yi Chulin woke up, she could take this opportunity to ask him for it. After all, she had saved Yi Chulin’s life!
Xu Qing also discussed this matter with Qiao Yanhui. Qiao Yanhui pondered over it and said, “Let’s talk about it after your injuries have completely healed.”
Xu Qing looked at her injuries. It would take at least two months… It was all Yi Chulin’s fault. Otherwise, they would have gone to find medicine long ago. Since she couldn’t leave now, she would take advantage of these two months to treat Ao Jie. Treatment of his illness couldn’t be delayed anymore.
However, Qiao Yanhui had yet to find out what had caused Ao Jie’s personality to change.
Just as Xu Qing was feeling troubled, Qiao Yanqi returned.
Qiao Yanqi ran back while crying and her expression was livid. When she saw Xu Qing and Qiao Yanhui, she knelt on the ground as she cried.
Xu Qing looked at Qiao Yanhui in confusion. Wasn’t Qiao Yanqi under Qiao Yanhui’s custody? Why was she still in front of them? Could this be the opportunity Qiao Yanhui had mentioned?
“Brother Hui, Sister-in-law, you have to save me!” Qiao Yanqi shouted for help.
Xu Qing looked at Qiao Yanqi, who was too engrossed in her acting, and sneered. “What happened?”
“Brother Hui, I didn’t mean to provide information to the emperor. He poisoned me in order to control me. I had no choice but to listen to him!” Qiao Yanqi wanted to pull Qiao Yanhui’s clothes, but Qiao Yanhui dodged.
Xu Qing raised her eyebrows. Was this a new trick?
Xu Qing and Qiao Yanhui had long known that Qiao Yanqi was Ao Heng’s mole. Of course, Xu Qing believed that Qiao Yanqi didn’t want to harm Qiao Yanhui. After all, Qiao Yanqi liked Qiao Yanhui so much. She was just being controlled by Ao Heng.
Qiao Yanhui looked down at the crying Qiao Yanqi. He had let her out because he had received news that Ao Heng was prepared to take action. If he didn’t let Qiao Yanqi out, Ao Heng’s plan would definitely be put on hold. It was time for him and Ao Heng to face each other.
“Poisoned? Let me take a look,” Xu Qing said aloofly.
Qiao Yanqi knelt in front of Xu Qing obediently.
Xu Qing took her pulse and said, “You’re indeed poisoned. It’s very serious. You’ll definitely die in less than three days!”
Qiao Yanqi’s eyes widened. What? Three days? Ao Heng said ten days.
“Actually, you could have lived for ten days, but this poison reacts with the Gu poison in your stomach. You only have three days left. If you don’t believe me, let Bai Xian take a look at you,” Xu Qing said.
“Brother Hui, Sister-in-law, I don’t want to die. Save me!” Qiao Yanqi’s face instantly turned pale. She didn’t expect the Gu worm in her body to be discovered by Xu Qing. Even Bai Xian hadn’t discovered this Gu worm! Then what Xu Qing said about her only having three days left was probably true!
