《Hard to Spend Rest Life with You》


 C1

    Thunder flashed past. It was a dark night with a torrential storm.


    Mu Jiuer knelt in front of the Hall of Waves, the blood dripping from his forehead continuously being washed by the rain until it gradually turned purple. The fingers that tightly gripped onto the jade started to tremble, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.


    Was she going to die?


    She forced herself to look at the Yangxin Palace opposite her, attempting to see the figure of a man through the dim cracks between the doors and windows.


    Unfortunately, there was nothing.


    The rain poured down on Mu Jiuer''s face.


    She had already knelt here for three days, and only because Qin Yan spent the night in her hall three days ago, she originally thought that he had finally seen her doing well before, so she went to her bedroom.


    However, he did not expect that the beautiful dream would result in the fury of a man. He raised his hand and ordered the guards to behead all the palace maids and eunuchs in the Cloud Nest Hall.


    Seeing the massacre in front of her, the blood in her entire body instantly cooled down. Only then did she clearly realize that the man still hated her so much that he wanted to kill everyone who knew about what happened last night.


    The rain got heavier and heavier as it hit her back and head. She painfully curled up on the ground. The corner of her mouth twitched as she gently placed the jade pendant on her chest while holding it tightly in her hand.


    This is good too, dying may be the best way out ¡­


    When his personal eunuch saw Mu Jiuer fall to the ground, his brows knitted slightly. He walked into the Yangxin Palace and lightly reminded, "Your majesty, I''m afraid Miss Mu won''t be able to hold on much longer."


    "She asked for it!" Qin Yan did not even raise his head, the brush in his hands that was used to mark the imperial report snapped in response, and his face turned black as if it was real.


    This slut dared to scheme against me after harming Brightmoon. She should have a good memory!


    In these five years, only Ming Yue remained in his heart, even when she was currently lying in the Ice Coffin s, he had never changed his mind. How could something like this have nothing to do with this woman? Since she dared to do such a thing, she should know what the consequences would be!


    Wei Liang naturally did not care about Mu Jiuer''s life or death, but this woman was still important to the emperor. If anything really happened, the emperor would blame him, so he could only remind him again, "Your majesty, it''s about time."


    Qin Yan''s sharp gaze fell on the lady outside the hall, and after a moment he sneered, "Drag her in."


    He had yet to take revenge for Brightmoon, so how could he let her die so easily?!


    Hearing his orders, Wei Liang immediately turned around and sent people to bring Mu Jiuer in.


    Some of the torn clothes stuck tightly to his body, causing Mu Jiuer''s body to feel extremely hot from the cold energy, and a trace of sickly red surfaced on his pale white face.


    As Qin Yan watched the woman quietly and gently lie on the ground, he suddenly remembered his lover who was still suffering inside the Ice Coffin. A flash of hatred overflowed into the heavens as he said, "Wake her up."


    A maid stepped forward obediently and slapped Mu Jiuer ruthlessly across the face. The woman''s delicate mouth was instantly torn by a fingernail, and traces of blood seeped out.


    Suddenly, Mu Jiuer saw that godlike man walking towards her, as if he was in a dream.


    "Qin Yan..." She looked at the bright yellow clothes in front of her, trembling as she reached out her hand to touch it.


    Before his hand could touch the corner of the man''s clothes, it was opened by him in disgust. Red marks instantly appeared on the white back of his hand. "Don''t dirty my palace!"


    Mu Jiuer was weak to begin with, the man''s casual move had knocked her down, and the bruise on her neck was revealed.


    Qin Yan''s cold eyes landed on the scar. He saw the absurdity of last night and immediately felt nauseous, his entire body feeling uneasy, "Since you like being drugged so much, then you have to experience it yourself!"


    Mu Jiuer endured the pain and looked at Qin Yan, but he could only see the hatred in his eyes.


    "It wasn''t me, I didn''t, I didn''t do it ¡­" She already knew that she wouldn''t have any place in his heart, and never had such a thought ever occurred to her. Tears streamed down her face and Mu Jiuer could only shake his head repeatedly.


    However, Qin Yan simply would not listen to her explanation, and expressionlessly took the medicine bowl from Wei Ming''s hands, and fiercely pinched both of her cheeks, pouring all of the medicine into her mouth, "Have a good experience, this poison is the poison that you gave Mingyue back then. We want to let you taste the pain of having your limbs pierced by this poison as well."


    "Oh, cough, cough ¡­" The black medicinal juice flowed down his throat, instantly becoming extremely hot. Mu Jiuer felt that his arm was gradually losing its strength, and the pain from the pricking of the needles started to spread.


    "Pain ¡­"


    When Qin Yan saw the woman curled up in pain, letting out a low growl, his heart suddenly felt much better. He left the woman who annoyed him and only coldly left a few words, "Don''t let her die."


    "Yes." Wei Ming lowered his eyebrows and returned, after instructing the two maids who were looking at Mu Jiuer in detail, he opened his umbrella and followed the emperor out.


    Mu Jiuer looked at the gradually leaving bright yellow back view, and felt a big hole empty in his heart. The hole was abnormally cold, and as he powerlessly hugged himself, he tried to find a trace of warmth, but to no avail. The pain in her four limbs reminded this man of his ruthlessness. Finally, she let out a bitter laugh and allowed the pain to invade her consciousness, causing her to faint.

    The sky was a sea of fiery red, the extended forest was instantly engulfed in flames, the wild beasts deep within the forest were fleeing in all directions, the birds were wailing, and the Kongtong Valley located in the heart of the flames was strangely tranquil.


    Those who were charred by the fire didn''t struggle at all as they laid down everywhere, allowing the flames to turn their entire Kongtong Valley into ashes.


    Suddenly, a voice rang out from within the fire, mixed with a sobbing female voice that resounded throughout the entire valley, "Father! Mother! Wake up! Wake up! "Don''t leave Jiu Er alone, Jiu''er is afraid ¡­"


    The charred branches crackled as though they were mocking the girl''s weakness. In the next instant, the thick branches that brought along sparks smashed straight into the girl''s head, leaving her behind in the fire ¡­


    "Hu hu ¡­" Mu Jiuer suddenly woke up, his entire body drenched in sweat, looking at the top of the bed with a powerless look in his eyes.


    She once again dreamt of that huge fire that was held by her Kongtong Valley back then. That huge fire had taken the lives of her entire clan, and she was the only one that was saved by Qin Yan.


    But sadly, he only saved her because her body could save that woman. Otherwise, he would have certainly killed her long ago and paid with his life for the person he loved.


    "Cough, cough ¡­" A gust of cold wind blew in, piercing through Mu Jiuer''s thin blanket and landing on her thin body, causing her to tremble uncontrollably.


    She brushed her forehead, which had already lost its fever, and looked at the broken seat and the air leaking out of the doors and windows. The corners of her mouth curled into a bitter smile.


    She had returned to the cold palace.


    She suddenly thought of what Qin Yan had said to her five years ago, "We can take you in, but you have to stay in this cold palace, because you must remember that you are just Mingyue''s medicine!"


    Just a single pill, how laughable. They were clearly childhood friends, and they had known each other since childhood. However, an unknown woman had taken over his heart midway.


    But even if it was only being used by him, even if he was speaking maliciously to her, she was still willing to stay by her side. She no longer had other family members, she only had him.


    Mu Jiuer took out the white jade pendant he had given her when he was young and gently caressed it, as if he was that man in front of him.


    Coincidentally, the maid saw that Mu Jiuer had woken up, and remembered Wei Ming''s instructions. She immediately went to call the imperial physician to diagnose Mu Jiuer''s condition.


    Qin Yan also entered with the imperial physician. Surprise appeared in his eyes; he had never stepped into this cold palace before.


    "Someone come!" Hold her down for This Emperor! " Before she could react, Qin Yan''s cold voice sounded out.


    "There is one more year before the opening season of the Bone Birth Flower. During this year, you will have to bleed every day and wash Brightmoon''s marrow. After one year, you will cut off your flesh and feed it to Brightmoon, allowing her to wake up." The man seemed to be thinking about the scene when Yin Mingyue woke up. His eyes revealed excitement, but he still spat out words that made Mu Jiuer feel as if he was frozen.


    "I don''t want it." Mu Jiuer stared straight into Qin Yan''s eyes, wanting to see a hint of regret, a pleading look.


    Qin Yan looked down at her from above and ridiculed, "What right do you have to say such words to us? It was you who killed Mingyue, how can you have the face to tell me that you don''t want it? "


    "I said I didn''t kill her." Mu Jiuer felt a bit wronged, and his eyes turned red when he looked at Qin Yan.


    Why didn''t he believe it? She had never killed anyone before, so why was she always that wicked woman in his eyes?


    When the woman''s sorrowful expression fell into Qin Yan''s eyes, it immediately made him restless. He slightly raised his hand and shouted, "Do it!" Saying that, he turned around, not wanting to dirty his eyes anymore.


    The two servants immediately walked forward, wanting to hold down Mu Jiuer, but they did not expect the woman, who had always been so weak, to be so insistent on not letting the two maids near her at all.


    "I won''t save her!" Mu Jiuer struggled with all his might, and shouted with all his might, "Back then, it was precisely because of her that Kongtong Valley caught on fire, and my entire clan died inside. I won''t save her." She hid in a corner and looked at the people before her with vigilance.


    "Heh." A trace of fierceness flashed past Qin Yan''s eyes when he saw the useless struggle of a woman. Taking two steps forward, he grabbed Mu Jiuer''s arm that was waving around, brought her before him and coldly stared at her eyes as he said, "Who let Kongtong Valley be flooded by fire, who harmed your clansmen, are you really not clear in your heart?"


    Mu Jiuer''s eyes flashed with a trace of confusion, her lips slightly trembled as she shook her head, "It''s her, if it wasn''t her, who else would it be?"


    Qin Yan sneered, and let go of the woman, his voice cold and heartless, "It was you yourself, your entire clan caused your death! Because you killed Mingyue, because of your blood, your flesh can cure the bones of living and living dead, and it was you who killed them! "


    Mu Jiuer closed his eyes in pain, his entire being seemed to have been drained of all of his energy, as tears started streaming down soundlessly.


    That''s right, she was the one who died. Her clansmen died to protect her, and she was the one who deserved death the most. But was it her fault for being Four Spirits''s bloodline? Was that a reason for him to hurt her?


    Mu Jiuer raised his eyes to look at Qin Yan, and said in a miserable tone, "What about you? Don''t you have any feelings for me other than the desire for my flesh and blood? "


    "No. A woman like you is not even a hair''s breadth away from the bright moon. Heh, you actually want to attract my attention, your actions will only make you more like a clown. " Qin Yan''s mocking gaze landed on the woman, and his words were extremely harsh, "Also, don''t forget, the reason we took you in was because you can save Mingyue. Don''t forget your identity, you are just Mingyue''s medicine!"


    "Heh ¡­" Hearing that, Mu Jiuer''s face became extremely ugly, but she started laughing in a low voice. She laughed at her own foolishness, at being trampled on by others, and really wanted to ask Qin Yan what kind of woman she really was. But right now, her heart was aching so badly that she couldn''t even say a word.


    Qin Yan saw that the lady''s face was growing even paler, and felt a sense of irritation in his heart. He frowned and turned his body, not looking at her anymore, and ordered coldly, "Hurry up and do it!"


    This time, the two servants took their leave. The two robust guards held Mu Jiuer down, raised their hands and drew a line on her arm, filling it with blood.


    Mu Jiuer looked at the blood dripping down his wrist, his entire body still without moving, his eyes glazed over like a dead man''s.


    When he left, he cast a sidelong glance at Mu Jiuer, who had a death wish, and threatened in a low voice, "If you want to die, I don''t mind flaying the bones of the two remaining clansmen of your Kongtong Clan, and letting them pay for Mingyue''s death."


    Clan members?


    Mu Jiuer''s eyes slowly lit up. Does she still have relatives? She ignored the wound on her wrist, ran and crawled to Qin Yan''s side and grabbed onto the corner of his clothes, then shook it frantically, "Where are they? Tell me where they are. "


    Qin Yan looked at the woman beside his feet who had lost control and said coldly, "As long as you let Mingyue bleed properly and cut her flesh, I will naturally guarantee that they will be safe and sound. But if..."


    Before he finished speaking, Mu Jiuer had already kneeled in front of him, "I beg you, please let them go, I will definitely let them go." Every time he spoke a word, he would ruthlessly bang his head on the ground to beg for mercy. After a few times, he licked a fresh wound on his forehead, causing it to bleed profusely.


    "Enough!" Qin Yan shook the lady off in front of him, then fiercely stared at the wound on her forehead and coldly said, "Take care of your own blood, your clan members will naturally be fine, understand?" After speaking, he no longer paid any attention to the woman on the ground. With a flick of his sleeve, he stepped out of the cold palace.


    After Mu Jiuer was let go of the blood, she was extremely weak. After going through all this, she had no more strength left, and other than rejoicing that she was still useful to Qin Yan, there was nothing she could do to stop him from injuring her tribesmen. She could only limp on the ground and let the imperial physician treat her.

    At night.


    A few strands of moonlight could be seen within the cold palace, making it seem rather desolate.


    Mu Jiuer, who had recuperated from a month and a half of injuries, was lying on her bed. In the past few days, she had been bleeding every day, and the old wounds on her wrist were getting more and more injured, to the point that the wounds had never healed.


    In the past, she and Qin Yan had also promised her a lifetime under this kind of moonlight.


    "Miss Mu, the emperor is calling for you." A maid interrupted Mu Jiuer''s thoughts. The maid looked at the pale and frail Mu Jiuer and could not bear to continue, so she pursed her lips and said softly, "Miss Mu, hurry up and wash up, don''t make the emperor and the others worry." Otherwise, the emperor would be angry again.


    Mu Jiuer knew what the maid meant, and she temporarily did not want to anger Qin Yan either. Otherwise, the ones who would suffer would only be her and her clansmen.


    She cleaned herself up as quickly as possible with the help of the servant girl, changed into a clean set of clothes, and headed in the direction of Yangxin Palace.


    When they arrived at the imperial garden, they were stopped by someone.


    "Yo, you recovered pretty quickly? "You''re really thick-skinned." The well-dressed woman looked at Mu Jiuer in contempt, and pushed her with the tip of her chin in disdain. Then, she let the maid lead the maid behind Mu Jiuer to a distant place.


    "What are you doing?" Mu Jiuer stabilized his body, his eyes filled with anger.


    She recognized the woman in front of her. She was an concubine of Qin Yan, whom the empress dowager had forced into his hands under the threat of filial piety. However, ever since this woman had entered the palace, Qin Yan had thrown her aside and focused on reviving Yin Mingyue.


    "What am I doing?" Yunfei cast a cold glance at Mu Jiuer, and said in a weird voice, "I naturally did a great thing, and really let you, you bitch, off. If not for you, the one beside Qin Yan right now would be me! "


    Mu Jiuer''s face slightly changed, he had a kind of premonition in his heart, "What do you mean?"


    The Yunfei ridiculed Mu Jiuer in an exaggerated manner and said viciously, "So what you''re saying is that, two months ago, the medicine the emperor drugged was under me. I originally wanted to let the emperor live in my chambers, but I didn''t expect it to be so easy for you." After she finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something as she scanned Mu Jiuer up and down, and smiled: "However, seeing that you are in such a miserable state, I feel much better."


    "Aren''t you afraid that I''ll tell the Emperor?" Mu Jiuer tightened his tight, tight hands, which naturally drooped down, and looked at Yunfei as if he was looking at a thorn.


    Yunfei seemed to have heard something funny as she covered her lips and chuckled. "Then go and tell them everything. See if the emperor trusts you, or I believe in you and the empress dowager."


    Mu Jiuer''s eyes flashed with a hint of injury, his entire hair was a little thin, and he stood in the middle of the road as if on the verge of collapse, without any words of rebuttal.


    Qin Yan really wouldn''t believe her. He even wanted to pin all of the malicious crimes on her, but he didn''t expect that the empress dowager would participate in this matter.


    "Oh, that''s right. Actually, I came to tell you that the medicine Your Majesty drank that day actually had a miraculous effect of helping you conceive. Once you do, you can get pregnant." Yunfei pretended to be surprised, "Maybe you already have a child in your stomach."


    Mu Jiuer was stunned. Was what she said true?


    "Unfortunately, you were poisoned by the emperor that day, so even if you were pregnant, the rest of you may still be a weirdly shaped monster."


    "You ¡­" After Mu Jiuer heard this, his eyes went wide open. Before he could even recover from the shock of hearing this news, he was already stunned by the grievous news that the child might be a freak child.


    "Also, I recommended that the emperor feed you that poison." The Yunfei went forward and patted Mu Jiuer''s shoulder, "Don''t thank me too much. Since the emperor hates you so much, he definitely won''t let you give birth to this child.


    Mu Jiuer shook off the hand on his shoulder, his body shivered and his heart ached for her, "Why are you so evil!"


    "There''s nothing I can do about it. Who told me to see you in such a miserable state? The happier you are, the happier I''ll be." Yunfei saw a trace of calculation flashing past Mu Jiuer''s eyes, and replied indifferently.


    She remembered that Qin Yan was still waiting for her. She pursed her lips and closed her eyes, forcing herself to calm down, then she looked up and circled around Yunfei, no longer paying attention to her as she continued to walk toward Yangxin Palace.


    Seeing that the two of them had finished chatting, the servant girl hurriedly followed behind them.


    Yunfei laughed sinisterly as he watched the two leave.

    Just as she stepped into the hall, she heard Qin Yan''s angry voice, "Since that slut still hasn''t come, then let''s cut off both of their fingers. She''ll cut off one of their fingers in a quarter of an hour, and she''ll cut down two in a quarter of an hour!"


    Mu Jiuer suddenly felt that something was wrong. With two steps, he turned into a step and rushed inside.


    At this moment, a mother and daughter were kneeling in the center of the hall. A eunuch was trying to cut off a finger from the woman''s hand.


    "No!" Mu Jiuer rushed over.


    Ah!


    Unfortunately, he was a step too late. The woman''s pinky was cut off, and bright red blood flowed out uncontrollably. Waves of miserable shrieks could be heard.


    "Eldest Sister-in-Law?" Mu Jiuer rushed over to Su Ruanyu''s side. Looking at the woman, whose face was covered in cold sweat from the pain, and the girl, who was wailing in fear, Mu Jiuer was at a loss of what to do.


    "Save her, please save her." She suddenly thought of the man beside her, kneeling in front of him and begging in a low voice.


    Qin Yan grabbed the woman''s chin, pulled her face in front of him, and spat out coldly, "Did you remember that? She was crippled for you. Who told you to ignore my words and come so late. The next time you do this, you''ll see two people. "


    On Mu Jiuer''s face, there was a look of despair. She was the one who implicated Big Sis and the others, they were her only family, she had to protect them.


    Thinking about that, she slowly stood up, her eyes staring straight into Qin Yan''s black pupils, her voice firm, "As long as you save them, I will tell you a way to revive Yin Mingyue earlier."


    Qin Yan met Mu Jiuer''s clear eyes, and his face revealed some excitement, "Is what you said true?" Could Brightmoon really revive earlier?


    "Right, as long as you treat my clansmen well, treat them well, stop hurting them, and let them live a good life, I''ll tell you about this method." When Mu Jiuer saw Qin Yan anxiously revive Yin Mingyue, his heart was in pain, but when he turned his head to look at Su Ruanyu and her daughter, his eyes grew determined again.


    Something that could allow Yin Mingyue to revive earlier could only be used to overdraft her life for Yin Mingyue''s. But he couldn''t care so much now, saving his sister-in-law was more important.


    "Alright, I promise you, but don''t think of any tricks." "We can save them, but if they really can live in the palace in the future, they are not allowed to leave without permission. Those who disobey will be executed."


    Mu Jiuer knew that he had to keep his two eldest sister-in-law and her elder sister-in-law here, using them to restrain her so that she would be able to revive Yin Mingyue in peace.


    She nodded and urged Qin Yan to save them.


    Only then did Qin Yan raise his hand and summon the imperial physician. He looked at the severed finger on the ground and ordered in a low voice, "Just stop the bleeding, just give Mu Jiuer the remaining finger, and let her remember this for herself!"


    With that, one of the guards immediately picked up the severed finger, placed it into a tray and placed it in front of Mu Jiuer.


    Mu Jiuer looked at her severed finger that was stained with blood, and felt chills down her spine. She did not understand how that gentle youth of the past could turn into such a bloodthirsty and bloodthirsty person, who was now so ruthless to her.


    She didn''t say anything else and just quietly walked forward and hugged the frightened girl in her arms. She lightly patted her back and comforted her in a low voice. "It''s alright, it''s fine."


    The girl gradually calmed down, and her twitching body did not tremble anymore. She tightly grabbed onto the front of Mu Jiuer''s chest, and with tears still hanging from the corners of her eyes, she fell into a deep sleep.


    After the imperial physician finished bandaging Su Ruanyu''s fingers, Qin Yan ordered the maids to move Su Ruanyu and Yue Yang to Weiyang Palace. At the same time, she had Mu Jiuer move there to recuperate his injuries.


    Mu Jiuer knew that it was called recuperating from injuries, but in reality, it was used as a prison and only when Yin Mingyue resurrected, would she be able to keep her clan''s life. She did not try to fight for anything, she only hoped that she would not anger him and cause his regret to affect her tribe.

 C5

    Early in the morning, the leaves of the ginkgo tree gradually turned yellow in Weiyang Palace. The wind slowly blew them to the ground.


    Inside Weiyang Palace, Mu Jiuer lied on the side of the bed with her eyes closed for a nap. Last night, she had been guarding her elder sister-in-law for an entire night, and she really couldn''t hold on much longer. Not long after she closed her eyes, Su Ruanyu''s weak voice sounded from the bed, "Thirsty ¡­"


    Mu Jiuer instantly became clear-headed and immediately poured Su Ruanyu a cup of water. With one hand, he helped her up and with the other, he fed her water.


    After drinking the water, Su Ruanyu was much more clear-headed. After seeing that the person in front of him was Mu Jiuer, he slapped him.


    "Pah!" Mu Jiuer could not dodge in time, and his loud voice resonated in the palace.


    "It''s all because of you, you jinx. If it wasn''t for you, how would I have become this crippled appearance?" Su Ruanyu fiercely looked at Mu Jiuer, extended his cut hand and pressed it in front of Mu Jiuer, his tone fierce.


    That palm strike just now landed on Mu Jiuer''s face, turning red, but she didn''t notice it. Her eyes fell on Su Ruanyu''s broken finger, and her face was filled with guilt.


    Su Ruanyu still felt unsatisfied after slapping him a few times, he raised his leg and kicked Mu Jiuer a few times.


    Mu Jiuer did not dodge in the slightest, and allowed her to vent her anger, "You are the bane of Kongtong Valley, your entire clan of Kongtong Valley was suppressed by you, and if you did not provoke a madman, how could our Kongtong Valley have been annihilated? It''s all your fault, you slut. " Seeing that Mu Jiuer was looking down at her, Su Ruanyu felt that he was a little unsatisfied. He took off the silver hairpin on his head and pierced it fiercely towards Mu Jiuer.


    "Ugh ¡­" The silver hairpin pierced into Mu Jiuer''s shoulder, making sounds of flesh cracking. She raised her hand to cover her shoulder, which was bleeding non-stop, without any reaction, as if she was allowing herself to be scolded.


    She owed them all this, and she would not fight back.


    Seeing Mu Jiuer like this, Su Ruanyu was also a little stunned. She did not expect that she did not even try to dodge and fearfully threw away the weapon in her hand, looking at Mu Jiuer as if she was looking at a monster.


    "Mother ¡­" I want to see Mother. " A child''s voice broke the silence between them.


    The little girl whose eyes were swollen from crying, stumbled and ran towards Su Ruanyu''s direction. After that, she threw herself into her embrace and wailed in grievance, "Mother, I want to go home! I don''t want to stay here. This place is so scary. Mother, let''s go home. "


    Su Ruanyu patted the child in his arms with a pained heart, then fiercely turned to look at Mu Jiuer who was standing by the side, and said softly, "Little Yan, how could we even have a home? Our house has been destroyed by this evil woman, in the future, only mother and you will be able to depend on each other for life."


    The little girl could not understand Su Ruanyu''s words at all, she only kept shouting about wanting to go home, and she started crying pitifully.


    Mu Jiuer looked at the wronged girl, a look of anticipation suddenly flashed across his face as he asked softly: "Sister-in-law, is this Big Brother''s child?"


    That huge fire was extremely chaotic. She thought that all her clansmen had died in that fire. She was pleasantly surprised that her elder sister-in-law had managed to escape. At that time, her elder sister-in-law was still pregnant.


    Hearing that, Su Ruanyu''s face looked a little panicked, he then recalled the conversation between Mu Jiuer and the Emperor yesterday, and immediately calmed down. "Eh, yes, she is your big brother''s child."


    "Really?" Mu Jiuer''s eyes flashed with joy, thinking that this was Big Brother''s blood, he felt even more familiar when he saw the child. He bent down slightly, ignoring the wound as he squatted in front of Little Yan, "Child, I''m your aunt."


    Su Ruanyu thought about something else in his mind and did not stop her. He coldly fixed his gaze on the two of them.


    Little Yan carefully turned her head to look at Mu Jiuer. She remembered that it was this beautiful big sister who saved them just now. But she already had an aunt, and that aunt was very fierce and scary. So there was an aunt as gentle as that?


    The little girl glanced at Mu Jiuer timidly, then buried her face in Su Ruanyu''s embrace.


    "This child should be five years old by now. What does such a big girl like to play with?" Did she like anything? Is there anything you like to eat? "She ¡­" Suddenly, he saw his niece''s happiness flood Mu Jiuer''s head, and he couldn''t help but wish that he could throw all these treasures into Little Yan''s arms.


    "Alright!" You don''t have to pretend. " Su Ruanyu poured cold water on them, "Put away those sudden and overflowing family relationships. If you had already known this earlier, how would the mother and daughter pair have ended up like this?" She pushed Mu Jiuer far away and held him tightly in her arms, as she looked at her in alarm.


    Mu Jiuer slightly pursed her lips, revealing a trace of injury. She nervously pinched her hands, and softly said. She knew that asking her sister-in-law to forgive her was not a matter of time. She could wait.


    Su Ruanyu didn''t say a word, and only patted Little Yan''s shoulder to comfort him.


    Mu Jiuer looked at the two deeply, then turned and walked out. She asked the maid to call the imperial physician to treat them, as only she would be able to protect the two of them properly.


    After Mu Jiuer left, Little Yan lifted the head that his mother was holding in his embrace, grabbed the hem of her clothes and asked puzzledly, "Mother, I was clearly only four years old, why did that aunt say I was already five years old? And I already have an aunt, why would I have an aunt? "


    After Su Ruanyu heard it, he immediately covered Little Yan''s mouth. He vigilantly looked around, then grabbed Little Yan''s shoulders and said in a low voice, "Little Yan, remember that in the future, you will be five years old. Your only family will be Mother! No other aunts. "


    "Why?" Little Yan did not understand.


    "Just remember, Mother won''t harm you." Su Ruanyu''s face was solemn, but his words were sincere and sincere.


    Little Yan could only nod his head and repeat Su Ruanyu''s words again.


    Her gaze landed on her own daughter, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed past her eyes. She thought to herself: Mother also doesn''t want you to recognize that slut as your aunt, but if she knew that you''re not her big brother''s child, how could she protect us two anymore. That emperor was so ruthless, how could the two of them survive in this palace?


    However, Little Yan, you can rest assured mother won''t let that bitch go, she was the one who caused us to fall into such a predicament, causing us, mother, to become a cripple. Mother will definitely take revenge! Witnessing that slut''s body was worse than death!

 C6

    Inside the main hall, after the imperial physician treated Mu Jiuer''s wounds, he also made a routine check on her body.


    However, the more the imperial physician examined the patient, the more shocked he became. His eyebrows knitted together, as if to confirm the patient''s condition once more. Afterwards, his expression became more solemn. "This ¡­"


    Mu Jiuer''s eyelashes trembled, and said with a wry smile, "Imperial Physician Zhang, just speak your mind. I am clear about my own body''s condition." Having suffered so many injuries and lost so much blood, the reason why she was able to survive until now was only because of her unique bloodline.


    Imperial Physician Zhang shook his head, "That''s not it." He hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Miss, do you know that you are pregnant? A few days ago, when I examined your body, I felt that there is something wrong with your pulse. It was only today that I was able to confirm that you are pregnant, Miss Mu."


    Mu Jiuer felt like he was struck by lightning, his mind suddenly recalled the words Yunfei said to her yesterday.


    He didn''t expect that Qin Yan would really get her pregnant that time, but this child was poisoned in the womb, how could he possibly survive? And if Qin Yan hated her so much, would he recognize her child? He won''t keep him.


    Mu Jiuer''s hands and feet were cold. A moment later, he raised his hand and caressed his stomach, which had not protruded yet.


    She lowered her head and thought for a long time before suddenly clenching her fists tightly. Her eyes were resolute, "Imperial Physician Zhang, do you have any abortion pills?"


    After Imperial Physician Zhang heard this, he pursed his lips, a look of hesitation appeared on his face, and he advised in a low voice, "Of course there is, but Miss Mu you have to consider this carefully, because your body has been weak for the past few years, and because you have a cold body, after you get rid of this child, you might not be able to get pregnant anymore."


    After Mu Jiuer heard this, he felt a bit dejected, thinking that the heavens were so unfair to her, and had always given her hope, before letting her down again and again.


    A lot of thoughts flashed through her mind, but in the end, she still could not help but sigh and resolutely said to Imperial Physician Zhang, "Imperial Physician Zhang, you should prepare first." She originally couldn''t bear to part with this child, but now that she was in this situation at the palace, the child would suffer. She couldn''t bear to part with him, so she might as well let him leave without pain before he was born.


    "Right, can the Emperor not know that Imperial Physician Zhang is pregnant?" She thought for a moment before asking again.


    Imperial Physician Zhang did not say anything and only nodded. When he was young, he had received favours from the Kongtong Valley, so he naturally agreed to it.


    "Thank you, Imperial Physician Zhang." Mu Jiuer slightly nodded his head to express his gratitude.


    Imperial Physician Zhang shook his head and got up to leave.


    After the Imperial Physician Zhang had left, a chorus came from outside Weiyang Palace, "The Emperor has arrived."


    Mu Jiuer just found out that she was pregnant and felt a little guilty when she saw Qin Yan. She looked at the ground and tried her best to act normal, but she didn''t know that her reaction was the most abnormal.


    Qin Yan looked at Mu Jiuer, who had his head lowered and remained silent, and sneered. Usually when he was near, her eyes would be glued to him, but today, she was not even looking at him.


    I advise you not to forget what you said yesterday. If you don''t tell me the method to revive Brightmoon early, I will lock the mother and daughter in the prison. You should also know how terrifying the torture is in the palace prison. The expression in Qin Yan''s eyes as he looked at Mu Jiuer was dark and furious. He stood in front of her with his hands behind his back and spoke with an ice-cold tone.


    Mu Jiuer had already known about Qin Yan''s attitude towards her, but after hearing such words, she couldn''t help but feel pain in her heart. She placed her hand on her chest, raised her eyes and asked, "What if I say that reviving Yin Mingyue requires my life in exchange?" Mu Jiuer still had a sliver of hope in his heart, his eyes stared unwaveringly at Qin Yan, a little hopeful yet afraid of his answer.


    "Then die!" Qin Yan spat out coldly without any hesitation.


    Mu Jiuer felt that all the blood in his body had started to freeze, he was trapped in the cold abyss, and the tears in his eyes became uncontrollable.


    "Since things have come to this, don''t put on such a disgusting act in front of me! Since you dared to harm Mingyue, you should be prepared to bear all of this. To be able to exchange your life for Mingyue''s, you should feel honored. The pain that you have endured right now is not even a fraction of the pain of the bright moon. Sooner or later, I will return it all to you. " Qin Yan then pierced Mu Jiuer''s heart fiercely with a few more blades, the blades were fatal.


    Mu Jiuer retreated a few steps, her chest was stuffy and she could not breathe, her entire body was on the verge of collapse, and she could only support herself on the table behind her. Looking at Qin Yan, her eyes turned red as she said, "Yin Mingyue! Yin Mingyue! Why do you only have Yin Mingyue in your heart? Are we not going to do anything with all those promises we made in the past? You said you would love me for the rest of my life! "


    Hearing Mu Jiuer''s words, Qin Yan scoffed with a face full of ridicule, "Mu Jiuer, what are you making up this time? I have only held Brightmoon in my heart from the beginning to the end, what about you? It''s nothing. "


    Would he not even admit the fact that they had been in love?


    Mu Jiuer sat on the chair with all his might. When Qin Yan''s words from just now mixed together with her memories, she suddenly felt like she was a joke. She had persisted on her love for so long, yet wasn''t admitted by anyone.


    She pursed her lips and hugged herself tightly, attempting to warm her cold heart, but in the end, she discovered that it was somewhat futile. After a while, she spoke with a tone of despair and relief, "Alright, I''ll tell you how to wake Yin Mingyue up as soon as possible. "It''s just that I hope you won''t regret it."


    Qin Yan heard the first few words that came out, he was extremely excited, "Quickly tell me."


    Seeing that he cared so much about Yin Mingyue, Mu Jiuer smiled bitterly: "Saving her is simple, I only need two drops of blood. One is my heart blood, the other is the heart blood of the person she loves. "Use a special method of our Kongtong clan to refine these two drops of blood into a pill. If you give it to her, she''ll wake up."


    "Alright, as long as we can save Mingyue, I am willing to do anything. However, if what you say is the truth, I will definitely not let you and that mother and daughter off lightly." Qin Yan did not hesitate, he only used Su Ruanyu and the other two to threaten Mu Jiuer.


    "You can send people to investigate. This is a Kongtong Valley secret technique, and it is carved on the stone walls of the cave beneath the Kongtong Valley. I can''t do anything to it." Mu Jiuer no longer fought for anything, he only hoped that he could let his eldest sister-in-law off so that they would be safe.


    "Since that''s the case, prepare the blood in your heart. I will come tomorrow to retrieve it!" After Qin Yan obtained the way to save Yin Mingyue, he felt that it was too much to even look at Mu Jiuer, so he flung his sleeves and left.


    Seeing that Qin Yan had left, Mu Jiuer finally let go of his breath and revealed his weak self. Leaning his forehead on the table, he started to cry uncontrollably.

    The palace at night was empty and dark. The guards in the palace also changed waves after waves.


    Inside Weiyang Palace, Mu Jiuer, who was supposed to be sound asleep, was actually lying on her bed. She turned her head to look at the door, and after confirming that all the maids in the hall were asleep, she sat up, walked to the side of the table and lit up the candles.


    This was the best chance.


    Thinking this way, she overturned the recently lit candlestick.


    "Hu!" The fire on the candlestick quickly spread and ignited the Xuan paper on the table. Mu Jiuer seemed to think that the fire was not strong enough, he lit a candle and threw it into the bed that he was lying on. In the blink of an eye, the dry quilt was lit up, releasing a crackling sound.


    She stood close to the door and watched the fire spread to half of the room. Then, she turned around and rushed anxiously to Su Ruanyu and his mother''s room. Wake up! "


    Su Ruanyu was half awake when he heard Mu Jiuer say, "Sister-in-law, since the fire is happening now, quickly run away! Take Little Yan and run out of the palace!"


    Hearing that, Su Ruanyu instantly became clear-headed and looked at Mu Jiuer vigilantly.


    Mu Jiuer did not notice her abnormality and continued to stuff the exit token and bag of silver into her hands, saying in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, take this medallion and you will be able to leave the palace gates. After leaving the palace, you guys walked far away, this bag of silver is enough for you guys to spend for a year.


    "What about you?" Su Ruanyu did not move.


    "I have my own ways. Don''t worry about that for now, there''s not much time left. Hurry up and bring Little Yan away." Mu Jiuer anxiously helped Su Ruanyu up, and then placed the sleeping Little Yan in her embrace.


    Seeing that, Su Ruanyu slowly followed behind Mu Jiuer, but her lowered eyes blocked her thoughts.


    When the three of them ran out of Weiyang Palace, the fire had already reached its boiling point. However, Mu Jiuer stopped in his tracks at this moment, "Sister-in-law, you should take Little Yan with you and leave first." With that, he returned to Weiyang Palace without looking back.


    "Hey, you ¡­" Before Su Ruanyu could ask about the reason, Mu Jiuer had already disappeared. She looked at the child in her arms, then at the burning Weiyang Palace, her eyes moved a little, but she did not go to the entrance of the palace. Instead, she ran in the direction of Yangxin Palace.


    In Weiyang Palace, Mu Jiuer ran back to his own sleeping quarters, and stepped back step by step.


    The fire grew larger and larger, but her steps were firm. She raised her hand to stroke her stomach, a gentle smile on her face.


    Child, mother will accompany you.


    Mu Jiuer raised his eyes to look at the sea of fire, as if he was looking at the clansmen who had died in that sea of fire.


    Father, mother, we''re coming to accompany you.


    "Mu Jiuer, you dare!" Qin Yan''s furious voice came from outside the hall, "If you dare to die, we will cut that mother and daughter to pieces!"


    Mu Jiuer seemed to not have heard, and allowed himself to be slowly engulfed by the sea of flames.


    Outside the hall, a large number of guards rushed over to save the fire, but the fire could only be controlled a little.


    "Little Jiu!" Following the clear and melodious voice, a man rushed into the sea of fire to save the others.


    Qin Yan looked at Nan Xiangfei who had rushed into the palace. His entire being was unusually agitated, and just as he was about to follow in, he was stopped by the eunuch beside him.


    "Your Majesty, you have the body of a dragon. Don''t be rash."


    Qin Yan clenched her tight fists and angrily waved her hand, "You must save her for us. Mingyue''s life is still in her hands.


    "Yes." The guards all answered in unison and one by one, they rushed into the fire, and just as they entered, they heard Nan Xiangfei''s voice from inside.


    "Little Jiu! Little Jiu, where are you? Little Jiu! " Nan Xiangfei pushed all of the protective guards in front of him, and carefully searched for Mu Jiuer.


    However, after searching for a long time, he still couldn''t find a single trace of her.


    Little Jiu, why did she leave when he just came back? Can''t we wait for him?


    Nan Xiangfei felt some despair. He did not stop for even a moment as he searched deeper within, "Little Jiu, where are you?"


    "Ugh ¡­" A faint sound came from the wardrobe.


    Nan Xiangfei''s eyes revealed a look of surprise and joy, he immediately ran towards the direction of the voice, opening the wardrobe, and saw Mu Jiuer''s hands protecting his stomach, curling up and fainting in the closet, his brows knitted tightly.


    "Little Jiu!" Nan Xiangfei immediately carried Mu Jiuer and ran out of the hall.


    When he was about to walk out, a wooden beam that was boiling hot smashed towards the two of them. Nan Xiangfei could not dodge in time and hurriedly protected Mu Jiuer from beneath him.


    "Little Jiu, I won''t let anything happen to you." Nan Xiangfei thought as he struggled to lift the wooden beam off of his body. He struggled to get up and tightly hugged Mu Jiuer, afraid that he would throw her off.


    Fortunately, the guards finally arrived and saved the two in time.


    When Qin Yan saw the unconscious Mu Jiuer being carried out, his tightly clenched fists slowly relaxed. He heaved a sigh of relief, as he was afraid of this woman''s death in his heart.


    Seeing that Mu Jiuer was saved, Nan Xiangfei was finally relieved and fainted, but he still tightly held onto her hand.


    When Qin Yan saw the two of them holding hands, he felt that it was too much for his eyes. His expression became even darker as he coldly said, "Separate the two of them!"


    Wei Ming felt that it was a little strange and looked at the emperor for a bit before retracting his gaze. He obediently sent a guard to break Nan Xiangfei''s grip.


    Only then did Qin Yan feel a little better, and didn''t care about where this strange feeling came from. He could only instruct the imperial physician to heal these two people''s injuries.

 C8

    The one who had come to treat Mu Jiuer was still the Imperial Physician Zhang, he shook his head disapprovingly at the Mu Jiuer who had been injured once again.


    Ever since Mu Jiuer entered the palace, the injuries on her body had not been broken. If this continued, the child in her stomach wouldn''t be preserved even if she didn''t use the Fetal Medicine. It seemed that she really didn''t want this child.


    Thinking of this, he felt that he could give her the abortion medicine.


    After he finished treating Mu Jiuer, he smeared some medicine on the wound on Nan Xiangfei''s back. It was just that the medicine was a bit stimulating, and caused him to wake up from the pain.


    After Nan Xiangfei woke up, he looked around in confusion. Only when his gaze landed on Mu Jiuer did he remember what had just happened, and immediately rushed to Mu Jiuer''s side to check on her injuries.


    "Little Jiu, Little Jiu..." He raised his hand and caressed Mu Jiuer''s pale and weak face, his heart aching for her.


    How did his Little Jiu become like this? He had just returned from the borderlands and found a reason to come to the palace. It was to see her, but he didn''t expect her to want to die. What happened during the five years he was gone?


    Nan Xiangfei''s gaze suddenly became sharp, and she stood up to look at Qin Yan, "May I ask what exactly the emperor has done to Little Jiu? To be able to turn Little Jiu into his current state! "


    "Heh, the General Nan is quite magnanimous. We advise you not to take care of our woman casually, or else the accusation of having a cholera harem would not be pleasant." Qin Yan''s face turned black, and he looked at Nan Xiangfei with an extremely sharp gaze.


    "Little Jiu is this subject''s friend, it''s natural for this subject to be concerned about him. However, Your Majesty seems to have forgotten that when Little Jiu entered the palace, the emperor had promised this subject that he would treat her well. Now, it''s Your Majesty who has broken his promise!"


    Five years ago, the Huns sent their troops to attack Frontier Ning County while Qin Yan sent him to the border to defeat the Huns. At that time, Mu Jiuer rejected him and in despair, he agreed to lead his troops to war.


    "The matter between us and her is not your business!" The depths of Qin Yan''s eyes burned with fury, his voice incomparably cold.


    Nan Xiangfei took a step forward, and whispered in Qin Yan''s ear, "Your majesty, don''t say it too early, the Nan Family''s officials outside the city have not been reorganized. If I am not in a good mood, maybe I will bring the Nan Family army to bring Little Jiu out of the palace!"


    "You dare?" Qin Yan was furious, he almost wanted to grind his teeth to pieces.


    "Then the emperor will give it a try!" Nan Xiangfei took a step back, and looked back at Mu Jiuer with a determined expression, "For Little Jiu, this subject can even throw away my life, so if the emperor were to hurt Little Jiu again, this subject doesn''t know what else this subject can do."


    After Qin Yan heard this, he tightly clenched the fists at the side. His expression was as dark as ink and he couldn''t wait to chop off Nan Xiangfei''s head.


    He frowned and looked at Mu Jiuer who was still unconscious, then shifted his gaze back to Nan Xiangfei and sneered, and said solemnly, "Bring her to our Yangxin Palace, we will personally look after her, so as to prevent her from seeking death again, and delay our major event!"


    "You!" Nan Xiangfei''s face changed, afraid that he would hurt Mu Jiuer again.


    "General Nan, I will do whatever I want with my woman! "I advise you not to stretch your arms this wide!" With that, he ordered in a low voice, "Send General Nan out of the palace!"


    "General Nan, please." Wei Ming timely stepped forward, cutting off Nan Xiangfei''s eyes from looking at Qin Yan.


    Qin Yan did not pay any more attention to Nan Xiangfei, and followed Mu Jiuer who was carried away and left.


    Nan Xiangfei did not move. He watched his beloved girl go further and further away inch by inch, and his heart ached even more. Only when he could no longer see her did he retract his gaze.


    "General, we''ve only just returned to court, how could you be so impulsive?" The assistant general behind Nan Xiangfei asked angrily as he pulled Nan Xiangfei further away from him.


    Nan Xiangfei pursed her lips and waved, then said indifferently, "It''s nothing, I know what to do, let''s go first."


    As for Little Jiu, he would definitely save her!


    Yang Qing was also a coarse old man, he did not understand their love and affection. He scratched his head in annoyance, sighed and followed behind Nan Xiangfei and left the palace.

 C9

    There were countless layers of guards outside the Yangxin Palace, and there was always an imperial physician on duty in the Outer Palace. At this moment, Mu Jiuer was sitting on his bed in a daze.


    She had been recuperating here for an entire day and during this entire day, she did not see Qin Yan. She had also heard from the palace maids that she had been rescued from the flames.


    She couldn''t help but be a little worried. Nan Xiangfei''s mother and her mother were old acquaintances, so the two of them had known each other since childhood. Even when she had rejected him, she had always treated him as her brother.


    So she knew that in order to save her, Nan Xiangfei had injured her and quarreled with her, causing her to worry and be unable to rest. With how Qin Yan hated her, even Nan Xiangfei would probably vent his anger on her.


    She raised her eyes and looked at the door, trying to see that man to plead for Nan Xiangfei.


    However, Qin Yan did not arrive. Instead, he waited for an unfamiliar maid to deliver her lunch.


    "Miss Mu, Imperial Physician Zhang will deliver the medicine for you." After the maid stepped forward to pay her respects, she looked at her surroundings and then walked over to Mu Jiuer''s ear.


    "This ¡­" Before Mu Jiuer could react, a small bottle appeared in his hand.


    "Imperial Physician Zhang said you would understand." The servant bent her body slightly towards Mu Jiuer, then took out the food box she brought and started to spread the food.


    Mu Jiuer was stunned and immediately hid the medicine bottle behind him. He then stared at the table, his eyes somewhat dull.


    "Miss Mu, this servant will take his leave." After the maid stepped out of the carriage, she got up and left.


    Mu Jiuer came back to reality as he tightly held onto the medicine bottle with his hands behind his back.


    This should be the concoction she got the Imperial Physician Zhang to prepare.


    Mu Jiuer hid the bottle under his pillow and looked at the empty hall.


    Originally, she was determined to beat this child to death, but when she got the pill, she started to hesitate.


    That was a living being, and was also the only child she might have. Was she really going to cruelly strip him of his right to come to this world?


    Mu Jiuer didn''t know.


    Just as she was at a loss over this, a eunuch called out from outside the door, "The emperor has arrived."


    Mu Jiuer temporarily tossed this question to the back of his mind and walked towards her as if he was facing a great enemy.


    Seeing Mu Jiuer''s guarded look, Qin Yan was inexplicably agitated. She went forward to grab Mu Jiuer''s wrist and threw her onto the bed. You threw yourself into Nan Xiangfei''s arms the moment you saw him, and now you see us? Do you need us to wash you and send you to Nan Xiangfei''s bed! "


    Hearing Qin Yan''s words, Mu Jiuer did not react for a moment, and looked at Qin Yan with eyes full of innocence.


    How was she and Nan Xiangfei? What does that have to do with Qin Yan? He clearly did not like it, so why did he say those words that caused him to misunderstand?


    Mu Jiuer pursed his lips, throwing all the delusions in his mind out, and said while clenching his teeth, "These have nothing to do with the Emperor, isn''t the Emperor only concerned with whether or not Yin Mingyue can be revived?"


    "I ¡­" Being stabbed by Mu Jiuer''s words, a look of regret quickly flashed across Qin Yan''s face. He raised his hand to shake off Mu Jiuer, and said coldly, "Of course we are only concerned about the revival of Mingyue, we are just afraid that you will get along badly with other men, and that you will get dirty and revive Mingyue''s blood."


    Mu Jiuer''s body stiffened for a moment, then faintly smiled as he self-deprecated, "Your majesty, don''t worry. I won''t be able to escape the protection of these Yangxin Palace s."


    "Do you think I will believe your lies? Escape! Fire! Suicide! What else do you not dare to do? " The more Qin Yan spoke, the angrier he got, he raised his hand and said, "Bring him in."


    Mu Jiuer''s heart jumped, she looked towards the door, only to see that Su Ruanyu was being dragged in, her entire body was injured like a bloody person, her gaze was not focused, and she was thrown onto the ground, while outside the door, the cries of a little girl looking for her mother was heart wrenching.


    "Eldest Sister-in-Law!" Didn''t she let the two of them escape? How could this be?


    She quickly ran in front of Su Ruanyu, carefully stroking her wounds, afraid that she would be hurt.


    Su Ruanyu suddenly regained his senses when he saw Mu Jiuer''s unfocused eyes staring at her with bloodshot eyes. He crawled up from the ground and fiercely grabbed onto her neck, "It''s all because of you, you slut! I will strangle you to death! "


    "Cough cough cough, big, big sister-in-law ¡­" Mu Jiuer powerlessly put his hand on his neck. Feeling the thin air in his mouth, his face slowly turned purple, and he frowned as he struggled.


    A few guards stepped forward and pulled Su Ruanyu away just in time.


    Su Ruanyu stared at Mu Jiuer fiercely, he wished that he could tear her apart and eat her, and use his words to curse her, saying that she would die a horrible death!


    Qin Yan coldly looked at Su Ruanyu, and had the guards take her away.


    Just as Mu Jiuer was about to stumble and chase after him, a guard stopped him.


    "Now you know what to do?" Qin Yan''s eyes did not contain the slightest bit of emotion, he only ordered his men to bring him a dagger and a bowl.


    "Alright!" She gritted her teeth as she gave Qin Yan a deep and resentful look. She clenched her fists so hard that blood oozed out, and in the end, assented with a choked voice.


    With that, he stabbed the dagger into the wound, using a little strength, blood started to seep out of the wound, Wei Ming immediately went forward to catch the drop of blood, and then respectfully handed the bowl over to Qin Yan.


    After Mu Jiuer handed over the blood in his heart, his entire body turned pale white. She held onto the dagger with her hand and sat down weakly on the ground, with blood flowing from the corner of her mouth. Finally, her gaze landed on Qin Yan''s body.


    Qin Yan saw that Mu Jiuer''s movements were so straightforward, a hint of panic appeared in his eyes instantly. He frowned and called for the imperial physician. Don''t let her die! She can''t die without my permission! That''s right, she still has to refine some pills for Mingyue. She can''t die, save her for Zhen! "


    He didn''t realize the abnormality at the bottom of his heart and just randomly ordered the imperial doctors to treat Mu Jiuer.

 C10

    When Mu Jiuer opened his eyes, half a month had already passed.


    Everything was dark. She thought she was dead, in hell.


    Slightly turning his head, he saw Qin Yan sitting in the outer hall changing the imperial reports, serious and handsome, his entire body carrying the aura of a king.


    Since five years ago, Mu Jiuer had rarely been in the same place with Qin Yan in silence, so she blinked her eyes and looked at him deeply.


    So it turns out that Qin Yan from the Infernal Realm can be so gentle.


    Mu Jiuer didn''t say a word, and only quietly watched Qin Yan''s back, wanting to experience this rare moment of tranquility after death.


    "Your Majesty, Miss Mu is awake!" A sharp voice of a maid sounded, breaking the silence.


    Qin Yan frowned as he turned around. His sharp eyes fell on the awakened Mu Jiuer.


    Mu Jiuer looked into those eyes, and his body reflexively stiffened for a moment. Only then did he realize that he wasn''t dead yet.


    "Why are you here?" She asked in a daze, surprised that the first person she saw when she woke up was him.


    Qin Yan scoffed coldly, as if he was mocking Mu Jiuer''s stupidity. "This is our palace, don''t tell me you forgot what other missions you have on you? I won''t let you leave this place until you finish refining the Resurrection Pills. "


    Mu Jiuer thought about what happened before he fainted. His heart throbbed in pain for a moment, and he raised his hand to cover his heart, then thought about Su Ruanyu and her daughter who were imprisoned in the dungeon. He took a deep breath and resigned himself to his fate.


    "I have long since prepared it for you." Qin Yan raised his hand slightly, and the maidservants behind him brought the medicinal ingredients over.


    Mu Jiuer''s gaze landed on the white porcelain bottle in the hands of the first maid, which was the blood of Qin Yan''s heart.


    She retracted her palm slightly and gripped her chest even tighter. Her pale lips pulled weakly.


    He was really willing to do anything for Yin Mingyue.


    "It takes a lot of energy to concoct the Resurrection Pills. I need some rest." Mu Jiuer put down the hand that was covering his heart, and closed his eyes and turned around.


    "Alright!" He did not dare to use Yin Mingyue''s life to joke around. Furthermore, Su Ruanyu was in his hands, so she probably did not dare to act rashly.


    After Mu Jiuer heard this, he did not move, as though he had already fallen asleep.


    "Watch her for This Emperor!" Qin Yan looked at her deeply, then turned and left.


    After he left, Mu Jiuer slowly opened her eyes and a tear fell from the corner of her eye.


    In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. Even if Mu Jiuer did not want to save Yin Mingyue anymore, he would have to start refining pills now, because in the morning, Qin Yan had given him a finger as a child.


    She looked at the severed finger and her entire body became cold. Smelling the smell of blood on the finger, she started to vomit.


    She remembered that Little Yan had a cute and tender child. He had cut off his finger on the plate, as if accusing her of being a sinner.


    Qin Yan, his heart is truly tough.


    Mu Jiuer vomited until she was very weak, but she did not dare delay any further, and immediately had the maid prepare the medicine to concoct the pills.


    The servant''s movements were very quick. It was as if she had already been prepared. She directly placed the medicinal furnace in front of her and retreated to the side to watch her concoct.


    "I was the only one who was present to refine this pill." Mu Jiuer felt the sharpness in his back, and frowned at the servants behind him.


    The maids did not dare to disobey the emperor''s orders, but they were afraid that if Mu Jiuer did not refine well, the emperor would blame them, so they could only quickly ask for his opinion.


    He didn''t expect the emperor to agree. He only told them to rush in as soon as there was any movement.


    She pushed open the door and stepped outside, but didn''t expect that her steps would cause her to trip over the threshold. Lying on the ground, she coincidentally fell into the arms of Qin Yan, who was about to enter the room.


    Qin Yan instinctively extended his hand to catch it, and Mu Jiuer''s pale face appeared in his eyes, his thick eyebrows knitted together, wanting to throw her away, but he saw her blushing, her entire body boiling hot.


    Qin Yan endured the discomfort he felt and quickly placed Mu Jiuer on the bed, "Come! Imperial Physician! " He has yet to test if this pill can revive Brightmoon, but this woman can''t die yet! "


    The imperial physician rushed over and sat down to check Mu Jiuer''s pulse.


    "Eh?" Imperial Physician Li''s eyes flashed a look of astonishment, he couldn''t believe what was happening, he touched another meridian, and after a moment, he fearfully let go of Mu Jiuer''s wrist and knelt on the ground.


    Qin Yan was immediately angered, and asked: "What''s wrong?"


    "Reporting to the Emperor, Miss Mu is pregnant. From the looks of it, it seems like three months." When Imperial Physician Li said that the whole person started trembling, he muttered in his heart: What''s going on with Imperial Physician Zhang? All along, it had been him treating Miss Mu, but today, it was because he had gone home to visit his family that he came to treat Miss Mu. This old thing definitely knew that the Miss Mu was pregnant, why didn''t he say anything? This was really bad.


    When Qin Yan heard this news, he was stunned for a long time.


    Did this woman already know that she was pregnant?


    The look in Qin Yan''s eyes became more and more disgusted, and then he thought about how she schemed against him back then. He shifted his gaze inch by inch from her face to her lower abdomen, and his gaze gradually became cold.


    Suddenly, he saw a small white porcelain bottle beside the bed. He suddenly picked it up.


    This was his sleeping quarters. He clearly remembered that there was no such porcelain bottle here.


    He opened the bottle and found a black pill inside. It was giving off a bitter smell, and after observing for a while he gave the pill to Imperial Physician Zhang, "What''s inside?" Why didn''t he know when she took it?


    Imperial Physician Zhang was also confused.
