Leng Ji stood at the edge of the cliff, stunned for a long time, until Chu Qianli and the others had descended. He suddenly snapped back to reality.
His Highness had jumped off a cliff for a mere maidservant.
At first, all he could feel was shock and disbelief. He hadn't even reacted immediately.
Because for him, that was an impossible scenario.
But later, he seemed to understand.
Seeing Chu Qianli and the others descend now, Leng Ji no longer dared to delay. He immediately returned to the manor to mobilize people for a search.
Chu Qianli and Han Zhan continued their descent. The path had become extremely difficult.
Chu Qianli had bought lighting fixtures from Taobao. Not caring what Han Zhan would think, she put them on both their heads and continued to slide down.
Han Zhan had long known that she carried a secret he couldn't unravel.
She could produce things he thought impossible to hide on her person at any moment.
But at this moment, Han Zhan didn't have the mind to ask further questions.
Below the cliff was another world. They spent almost two hours, and just as they were about to collapse from exhaustion, they reached the bottom of the cliff.
The grass here was taller than a person. If Feng Yexuan and Fu Ning had been intercepted by something during their fall, who knew where they might have been flung.
Chu Qianli's heart was heavy. She handed Han Zhan a flashlight and took one herself, quickly searching the area below.
"Yexuan, Fu Ning, are you there? Answer me!"
She feared that due to the severe impact, both of them had fainted.
With such tall grass and such a vast area, if they were unconscious, how long would it take for her and Han Zhan to find them?
"Yexuan, Fu Ning..." Chu Qianli continued to call out.
Han Zhan also began to call out, "Your Highness Xuan, Fu Ning, Your Highness Xuan..."
Their voices, in the vast expanse of the cliff bottom, seemed to vanish with the wind as soon as they were uttered.
The longer they searched, the more uneasy Chu Qianli became.
Once the golden hour for rescue passed, even if they found them, it might not be...
"Don't worry, Your Highness Xuan's martial arts are peerless. He must be..."
"He was severely injured and his vital energy was greatly depleted. His power is less than thirty percent of what it usually is."
Chu Qianli bit her lip, only to realize that her palm, holding the flashlight, was wet with cold sweat.
She was truly terrified!
She was afraid that after finally finding them, they would discover they had found their...
Her breathing became increasingly erratic, and her heart had never been calm. It was racing wildly.
She realized that when people were extremely tense, their hearts truly felt terrible.
It was as if she couldn't breathe properly, her chest feeling blocked intermittently.
Han Zhan hadn't expected Feng Yexuan to be so badly injured.
Knowing he was so seriously wounded, he still risked his life to jump down!
What kind of affection could that man have for Fu Ning? It was nothing more than fear that Fu Ning would be in danger, causing Chu Qianli to be sad.
In the past, he had always said he no longer cared for this woman. He had even insulted her during the selection大会, appearing dismissive.
It turned out that deep down, he loved her, loved her so deeply.
Han Zhan took a deep breath and looked up at the sky, his heart feeling indescribably heavy.
Heaven bless him, Your Highness Xuan must not be harmed, otherwise...
He looked at the figure walking ahead, that slender back, filled with unspeakable tension and unease.
If Your Highness Xuan were truly harmed, this girl would probably cry herself to death, wouldn't she?
He didn't want to see her cry again...
"Your Highness Xuan, Fu Ning, Xuan..."
Han Zhan's call suddenly paused.
In the wind, he seemed to hear something.
A very faint sound.
"Li'er, Li'er, listen!" he urged.
Chu Qianli, walking ahead, suddenly stopped and listened quietly to the surrounding sounds.
The wind was strong, whistling loudly, but it seemed there was nothing else besides the wind.
But just as she was about to despair, a faint call reached her ears: "...Miss, Miss, we are here..."
Fu Ning! It was Fu Ning's voice!
They were still quite far away, and the wind was strong, so their voices hadn't been heard immediately.
"Fu Ning!"
Chu Qianli quickened her pace.
In the darkness, Fu Ning's voice grew clearer: "Miss, we are here, hurry, Your Highness... Your Highness is severely injured, Miss..."
Chu Qianli's legs felt weak.
Han Zhan, behind her, supported her. "Don't panic, everything will be alright!"
Chu Qianli bit her lip, leaped up, and began to walk through the ravine.
Finally, they saw the two lying in the grass.
Feng Yexuan lay in a pool of blood, while Fu Ning knelt beside him.
In the light of the flashlight, the man's face showed no trace of color.
Fu Ning cried, "Your Highness used his body to shield me from the impact of the landing to save me. He was already injured and had to forcefully circulate his energy to slow down the fall... Sob sob sob, Miss, please save Your Highness quickly, he's bleeding so much..."
Chu Qianli's hands and feet felt weak. Her long fingers landed on Feng Yexuan's neck.
There was still a pulse... there was still a pulse!
"Han Zhan..."
"I know!" She needed to save him!
This girl could save people anytime, anywhere.
This was also his eternal mystery, her secret!
The things she used to save people could appear at any moment.
Han Zhan immediately took off his robe and spread it on the ground.
Then, together with Chu Qianli, he carefully lifted Feng Yexuan onto the outer robe.
After Chu Qianli administered a heart-protecting pill to Feng Yexuan, she immediately began to apply acupuncture to stop the bleeding.
Han Zhan didn't stand idle either. Using the disinfectant she threw over, he began to treat Feng Yexuan's wounds.
However...
Han Zhan occasionally couldn't help but glance at Feng Yexuan's complexion.
His pale lips, his bloodless face, and the mottled blood on the grass and the ground...
With such severe injuries, was there still a chance... to save him?
But Chu Qianli said nothing, still busy saving him.
On her small face, apart from concentration, no other expression could be seen...
...
Leng Ji and his men arrived as dawn broke.
"I found a shortcut to climb the mountain."
Even Leng Ji dared not look too closely at his Highness's face. Every glance made his heart ache as if being cut by a knife.
He was truly terrified.
Even though he knew Chu Qianli was a living immortal.
Even though he had always had such confidence in Chu Qianli's medical skills.
But this time, his Highness was truly too severely injured!
According to Chu Qianli, his bones were broken, and his internal organs were pierced...
Finally, after dealing with the most critical wounds, Chu Qianli turned and walked behind the grass.
In the blink of an eye, she returned carrying a stretcher.
No one knew what this thing was, but everyone knew that with it, transporting his Highness back to the manor would be much safer and more convenient.
Chu Qianli looked at Leng Ji and said gravely, "Find a few strong guards. Send his Highness back first. I need a sterile environment to perform surgery on him."
