Just as Chu Qianli was about to open the vacuum bottle, her fingertips paused.
Fu Ning, not understanding, asked, "Miss..."
Chu Qianli didn't speak, merely staring at the bottle in a daze.
A vacuum bottle could only be opened once.
After that one time, its preserving effect would vanish, his blood would solidify, and it would no longer retain its original form.
That fresh, flowing blood would ultimately become a lifeless thing.
Her heart ached a few more points inexplicably.
Heh, she couldn't keep the person, and now she couldn't even keep his blood, was that it?
But since the person was gone, what was the use of keeping his blood?
Chu Qianli, what were you thinking? What were you still caring about?
"Miss, if doing this makes you uncomfortable, then don't do it. Since you know where Phoenix Mountain is, why not go there first."
Although Fu Ning didn't know what she was holding, she sensed that this item was related to Prince Xuan.
Could it be Prince Xuan's blood?
The young lady still cared about Prince Xuan in her heart. How heartbroken she must be to have been betrayed!
"Miss..."
"It's fine, then... let's leave it at that."
Chu Qianli ultimately decided to keep Feng Ye Xuan's fresh blood.
Perhaps she would regret it, perhaps she would be called foolish, self-indulgent, or even lowly, but she just wanted to keep it.
She no longer wanted to delve into the reason.
Outside, the voice of a guard suddenly called out, "Princess, Guard Yang Xun requests an audience."
"What is it?" Fu Ning quickly walked to the door and opened it.
Yang Xun rushed over and said gravely, "Miss Fu Ning, please inform the Princess that Yu Xing has woken up!"
...
Yu Xing had finally woken up, after being unconscious for over a month.
After Chu Qianli administered acupuncture and massage, Yu Xing, who had been somewhat groggy, gradually regained consciousness.
Chu Qianli stayed by Yu Xing's side all night.
Ding Chen also remained in the room. Although he did not enter the inner chamber, he stayed in the outer one.
As long as Chu Qianli had any instructions, he would carry them out for her immediately.
By the time dawn broke the next day, Yu Xing had finally fully awakened. Not only had her consciousness returned, but she could also sit up in bed and consume simple congee and soup.
Seeing her like this, it seemed she had finally passed the critical stage and truly come back to life.
"Yu Xing's spirits will not be very good for the next two days. She has been asleep for too long and needs to slowly adapt to being awake."
"Therefore, you must continue to serve her carefully for two more days. Don't be too hasty; take it step by step."
"Yes, yes!"
Ding Chen thought for a moment, then suddenly knelt before her with a thud.
"Guard Ding Chen, what are you doing?" Fu Ning was anxious. "My young lady does not like such grand gestures."
But Ding Chen still knelt before Chu Qianli and kowtowed several times.
Fu Ning wanted to stop him, but Chu Qianli smiled and said, "Let him kowtow. It will make him feel better."
Fu Ning looked at Chu Qianli, then at Ding Chen, sighed, and finally did not interfere.
After Ding Chen finished kowtowing and stood up, Chu Qianli said, "Your Prince has returned to Bei Ming, but Yu Xing's current condition means she cannot travel."
"If you wish to return, you must wait at least five more days, until Yu Xing has fully regained her strength."
"I... I'm not going back."
Ding Chen, who had just stood up, suddenly knelt down again with a thud. "Miss, please take Yu Xing in and let her stay by your side! The Prince dislikes women following him, and Yu Xing... Yu Xing cannot go back."
