It didn't take long. Su Qingwen immediately dragged Hua Yueye back to the palace. The moment she entered the sleeping chamber and summoned Eunuch Zhang, she felt as if all the strength in her body had been drained away. She slumped limply to the ground.
"What's wrong with me?" Su Qingwen covered her chest with one hand and asked painfully.
[System: I just wanted to emphasize this to you, but you wouldn't listen. You're just like a stubborn bull. It really makes me mad! That energy outburst just now didn't come for free. It will have a backlash, which means your body has been affected. For the next few weeks, you'll feel weak all over, dizzy, and your body will be frail...]
After hearing a bunch of adjectives, Su Qingwen summed it up in one point: she was going to get sick!
"Can I still continue to complete the tasks?" Thinking of the lost points, Su Qingwen felt extremely heart - wrenching.
[System: What are you thinking? Of course not. You need to take good care of your body and recover your strength. You can't do any tasks. And the previous skills are all gone. I'll help you activate the sleep mode. Just have a good rest first.]
"Is there really no other way?" Su Qingwen sighed. A wave of drowsiness hit her.
[System: There really isn't. I advise you not to try it lightly. Don't worry. There are imperial physicians in the palace. Hua Yueye will be fine.]
"Okay." Even though Su Qingwen was extremely reluctant in her heart, she couldn't say much. She let out a helpless sigh. In a daze, she saw Li Ruhua walking in. Right, the matter of Hua Yueye's injury couldn't be known by too many people. She had to entrust Hua Yueye to a reliable person.
"What's wrong with you?" As soon as Li Ruhua came in, she saw Su Qingwen slumped on the chair. She couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
"Don't worry about me for now. Quickly find Hua Yueye. And, you must take good care of him and get him out of danger." Su Qingwen grabbed Li Ruhua's wrist and said, "Hua Xue'er is naive, and the women in the harem are even more unreliable. You're still a normal person, so I'm counting on you to take care of Hua Yueye."
"Is he injured?" Hearing this, Li Ruhua immediately reacted. She stared at Su Qingwen in shock, with annoyance in her heart. "Is it because of you?"
"Yeah." Su Qingwen sighed. "He was all protecting me. So, please take good care of Hua Yueye for me."
After saying that, Su Qingwen felt her eyelids become extremely heavy, as if they were fighting. Helplessly, she tilted her head and fainted.
When Li Ruhua heard this news, she was really angry and heart - broken. She gave Su Qingwen a disdainful look and strode towards Hua Yueye.
The moment she saw Hua Yueye's wound, Li Ruhua's heart tightened. He had been poisoned! Immediately, she sent someone to find a few reliable doctors to examine Hua Yueye carefully.
Fortunately, Hua Yueye was sent back in time. The poison hadn't reached his internal organs yet. He had managed to escape death.
"What's so good about that woman? Why do you have to risk your life to help her?" Li Ruhua looked at Hua Yueye's sleeping face. Her eyes suddenly turned red. She asked heart - brokenly.
"Qingwen... Su Qingwen..." Hua Yueye seemed to mumble something in his daze.
Li Ruhua was slightly stunned. She didn't understand what he was saying. Blinking her eyes, she took a step towards Hua Yueye and asked, "What were you just calling?"
"Qingwen..." His dry lips murmured these two words softly. Hua Yueye's face was as pale as paper.
This time, Li Ruhua got closer, so she quickly heard what he was saying.
"Again, it's her!" Li Ruhua's expression suddenly became extremely hideous. She sneered and bit her lip tightly. She stepped forward suddenly and grabbed Hua Yueye's sleeve. She asked sharply, "That little slut only knows how to cause trouble. Look at what you've become! Why do you still miss her so much?"
At this moment, Li Ruhua's face was flushed red, and her expression was so hideous that she looked extremely terrifying.
Unexpectedly, just at this moment, Hua Yueye suddenly opened his eyes.
The atmosphere seemed to freeze. Hua Yueye stared at the woman in front of him, with confusion in his eyes. Then he asked, "What are you doing?"
"This..." Li Ruhua blinked her eyes. She blushed a little embarrassedly. Then she cleared her throat and said awkwardly, "Since you wouldn't wake up, Your Majesty, I was shouting in your ear loudly to wake you up."
"Really?" Hua Yueye hooked his lips into a smile. He thought this reason was really far - fetched. He slowly sat up, his eyes scanning the room. He asked, "Where's Su Qingwen?"
"Her? She's probably sleeping now." Li Ruhua was quite scheming. Saying this would surely create a misunderstanding between Su Qingwen and Hua Yueye.
"Sleeping?" Hua Yueye was stunned. Even if Su Qingwen was heartless, she shouldn't be so carefree. At this time, how could she still be sleeping?
"Hasn't she come to see me even once?" Hua Yueye cleared his throat and asked tentatively.
"No." Li Ruhua shook her head like a rattle. "It seems she's been staying in her own sleeping chamber all the time. She hasn't even sent anyone to ask about Your Majesty's condition."
Saying this, she couldn't help but let out a sigh. "Your Majesty, is it really worth it? It seems that Concubine Xian doesn't appreciate your efforts at all."
"Enough." After hearing these words, Hua Yueye naturally felt very unhappy. He snorted coldly and tightened his fist bit by bit. "I'll go and see for myself."
"Your Majesty..." He was going to look for Su Qingwen right after waking up. How impatient he was!
Li Ruhua was so anxious that her eyes turned red. She let out a helpless sigh and stepped forward. "Your body hasn't recovered yet. Don't go out."
"No. I have to go and see that woman. She couldn't have been injured too, could she?" Lowering his head, Hua Yueye became more and more anxious as he thought about it. He didn't care about anything else and directly pushed the woman beside him away. He walked quickly towards the door.
Li Ruhua felt her heart break. She quickly chased after him, trying to pull the man back. But Hua Yueye was so strong that he directly pushed her to the ground.
Her elbow hit the wall just right. The pain made Li Ruhua's tears fall involuntarily. "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian is in good health. It's you who must pay attention to your wound."
"Don't stop me. I have to see with my own eyes that she's safe and sound." Hua Yueye sighed, saying a bit helplessly.
