When I walked out of the Queen Mother's Palace, the morning light was shining slightly on the ground.

Yun Xihe's whole body was sore and weak, and the pain of being torn apart made every step she took feel like stepping on the tip of a knife. Before she walked out of Cining Palace, her body shook and she knew nothing.

She had a long dream.

In the dream, she went back to the day when the city of Chang'an was destroyed in her previous life. She just stood on the city wall, watching her blood flow into a river and everything left her, and then she was thrown off the high city wall.

In the chaos, she walked and walked alone, and finally saw a beam of light hitting her body. She chased it with joy, but suddenly, this beam of light also disappeared...

She was helpless and fell into darkness, feeling like she was falling continuously.

Yun Xihe woke up suddenly, but her eyes were still dark. She couldn't see anything, and she thought she had slept for too long.

"Are you awake?" There was a clear voice in my ear, "Your body is really delicate."

Yun Xihe felt that the voice sounded familiar, so he hesitated and said, "Tuoba Kui?"

"Ah, sister, you heard it was me." Tuoba Kui was a little overjoyed, "Don't move around, just keep lying down when you wake up."

"Where is this?" Yun Xihe blinked, "...Why don't you light up the lamp when it's dark?"

"It's Honglu Temple." Tuoba Kui sighed slightly, "Sister, it's not yet past noon."

"What...what?" Yun Xihe struggled to open his eyes, "But I..."

"You can't see anything, right?" Tuoba Kui said, "Don't worry, sister, the doctor has seen it. You are just temporarily blind due to mental and physical exhaustion, and it can be recovered."

"Blind?" Yun Xihe was stunned.

"You are too emotionally distressed and consume too much physical energy. You are a doctor yourself, so you should be able to understand that this is not serious. Sister, there is no need to worry."

"..." Yun Xihe recalled what happened before he fell into coma, and pursed his lips, "...The Queen Mother..."

Tuoba Kui sighed, "...the death knell has been sounded."

Hearing the word "death knell", Yun Xihe's chest rose and fell rapidly. She was almost out of breath. Her unfocused eyes were empty, but she shed tears.

"...It's all my fault, I left too late."

Tuoba Kui also seemed to feel quite regretful, so he opened his mouth and said, "Sister, it's not your fault. You don't know something. The mechanism Gu in Qin Xuanling is the Mother-child Gu. Its poison is also the antidote to the Queen Mother Jiang's poison.

It's inevitable." His tone was very regretful.

"Mother-in-law Gu?" Yun Xihe looked startled, but suddenly smiled, and cried again while laughing, "Is it because my medical skills are too poor? Or is my knowledge too shallow? I didn't know there was such a thing.

Things? You are just saying these things to make me feel better."

"...Of course not." Tuoba Kui's expression remained unchanged, "Sister, you don't know something. Qin Xuanling's poison was inflicted by the mother-in-law herself. She also told me personally about the mother-in-law poison.

"

If Yun Xihe could see with his eyes, he should be able to see that his expression at this moment was a bit evil but also a bit happy, as if he was treating the person in front of him and finally separated her from Qin Xuanling by all means.

Tuoba Kui said, "I didn't want to tell you originally because I didn't want you to have a psychological burden. But now something went wrong and he still blames you, so I'll tell you the truth."

"Why?" Yun Xihe grabbed Tuoba Kui's clothes, "Why did she do this?! Qin Xuanling was still a child, why did she do this?!"

Tuoba Kui laughed.

Why else?

A proud and bright little princess like her mother, she strives to be first in everything, but when it comes to relationships, she is always outdone by Empress Dowager Jiang. How can she endure this?

Tuoba Kui didn't know how he should tell Yun Xihe what his mother and concubine had done. He was afraid that if she knew too much, she would feel disgusted with his own origin, and would be even less willing to go back to Xiliang with him.

He didn't want his sister to be like him, feeling unable to hold his head high because of having such a mother-in-law.

"The poison was originally prepared by the mother concubine for Empress Dowager Jiang to add to the bird's nest, but she took less and Qin Xuanling took more, so it turned into mother-in-law poison." Tuoba Kui said nonsensically and stretched out his hand again.

Holding Yun Xihe's hand,

"How could the concubine be so cruel to a child? Everything was an accident."

Yun Xihe hesitated for a long time, but finally nodded, and immediately stood up, "I understand, I have something else to do, and I have to leave."

Tuoba Kui sat still and stretched out his hand to push Yun Xihe back on the bed forcefully, "Sister, are you going to find Qin Xuanling? If you are really good for him, don't appear in front of him again now.

."

Yun Xihe bit his lip in confusion, "Why?"

Tuoba Kui said,

"He can't bear it. He feels that all this happened because of him. Men always need to be alone for a while to process their emotions... Besides, sister, what are you going to say to him?

Are you saying that his poison and Empress Dowager Jiang’s poison were all inflicted by Emperor Yongde? He will only hate himself even more... I don’t know, he will also hate you."

Yun Xihe's expression froze, tears fell from the corners of his eyes, and he said softly, "Why...it was just a little bit close..." She was just a little bit close to marrying him.

Tuoba Kui patted her shoulder, not wanting to push her too hard, and just said, "Sister, take a good rest for a while... When you feel better, I will take you back home."

Tuoba Kui left.

Yun Xihe endured it again and again, and immediately got up and climbed out of the bed. She couldn't see anything. She fell several times before finally staggering to the door. She reached out and pushed the door open, but it was locked.

She stood there for a while, without yelling or making any fuss, but groped her way to the window. She had been to Honglu Temple and knew what the room was like. When she opened the window, there was an open space below.

She bit her lip.

Even if Qin Xuanling hated her, it would be better than him having to bear it alone.

Yun Xihe climbed up the window, closed her eyes, and jumped directly. It had rained last night, and the ground was very soft, but it still hurt when she fell. She tried hard not to make a sound, but her tears still fell.

Flowed out.

She got up from the ground on hands and knees, determined the direction according to the sunlight, and headed for the gate.

The journey was smooth, and she stumbled and fell into a hard chest. There was a faint smell of ambergris and cool night on the tip of her nose, and she recognized who it was.

Qin Xuanling's eyes were red and he looked down at her.

Yun Xihe's handsome face was as pale as snow, without a trace of blood, and her lavender dress was stained with mud. When she recognized him, she was not as happy as usual, but looked ugly and made a plop.

, knelt down.

When Qin Xuanling saw her in such a mess, he couldn't suppress the rage in his heart, and pulled her up with a cold face, "Xihe, it's not your fault, you get up first..."

"No."

Yun Xihe avoided his hand, her eyes clearly could not see anything, but her cold phoenix eyes were still as heartbreaking as gems, her voice was painful,

"...the poison that you and the Queen Mother were poisoned by was inflicted by Emperor Yongde back then...it was the mother-in-law Gu. My medical skills were shallow and I failed to detect it early. I cured your poison, but it caused harm to you."

The Queen Mother was poisoned and died...Obviously, I still have half a bone..."
