Chapter 331 Qi Yuxuan Has Gone Mad
Li Cunxu's gaze never left Qiu Ziyue, as if he was afraid of missing any change in her.
Outside, moonlight streamed through the window, adding a soft glow to this heartwarming scene.
The servants came and went in a hurry, each one careful not to disturb the peaceful time of Prince Jin and Princess Jin.
After feeding Qiu Ziyue the last spoonful of soup, Li Cunxu gently placed the spoon aside, took Qiu Ziyue's hand, and said tenderly:
"Twilight Sparkle, you need to get better soon, I can't live without you."
Qiu Ziyue's eyes welled up with tears, and she said softly:
“Cunxu, I feel much more at ease with you by my side.”
Although Qiu Ziyue was physically weak, her mental state gradually recovered.
In the quiet of the night, she would share her feelings with Li Cunxu.
“Cunxu, I’m heartbroken because my child is gone.”
Li Cunxu hugged her and comforted her:
"Ziyue, you and Yuxuan already have a child. This was an accident. Don't be sad. Maybe this child is not meant to be with you."
Qiu Ziyue closed her eyes and whispered:
"Thank you, Cunxu, I was really scared."
Li Cunxu held her hand and looked at her with deep affection:
"I will always be by your side to protect you. No matter what happens, I will never let you get hurt again."
At this point, a guard came over and said he had something to report.
Li Cunxu got up and adjusted Qiu Ziyue's pillow so she could rest more comfortably.
Then he gently kissed Qiu Ziyue's forehead and said:
"Listen to me, I'm going out to run some errands, I'll be right back, get some rest."
Qiu Ziyue was somewhat taken aback by Li Cunxu's kiss, but she was too embarrassed to refuse.
Firstly, there were guards present.
Secondly, she was indeed weak and powerless.
Thirdly, she is no longer so disgusted by Li Cunxu's kiss.
Li Cunxu entered the outer room, and the guard said:
"The two assassins you brought confessed that Yaohua, the daughter of Minister Zhao of the Ministry of War, wanted to assassinate you."
Li Cunxu frowned and said:
"Give the order: offer a hefty reward for Yaohua's capture. Turn the place upside down and find her no matter what."
"If anyone brings me her head, I will double the reward."
"Yes".
Over the next few days, Qiu Ziyue's condition gradually improved.
Li Cunxu remained steadfast in his loyalty, staying by her side day and night, taking meticulous care of her.
His persistence and dedication finally brought a smile to Qiu Ziyue's face.
"Cunxu, thank you."
Qiu Ziyue's voice was much stronger than it had been a few days ago.
"No need to thank me, it's what I should do, you saved me."
Li Cunxu smiled and said,
"I'll be content as long as you get better."
Qiu Ziyue nodded, tears glistening in her eyes.
She knew that she was able to overcome this difficult time thanks to Li Cunxu's companionship and support.
Li Cunxu also understood that this experience had deepened their feelings for each other.
As Qiu Ziyue gradually recovered, the Prince Jin's residence gradually returned to its former tranquility.
In the basement of the Prince of Jin's mansion, Leng Feng focused even more intently on blowing on the grass.
Each failure did not make him give up; instead, he became more focused and adjusted his breathing.
Finally, a melodious whistle blew out.
Although the sound was faint, it was exceptionally clear in the basement.
After a long while, a light footstep sound came from afar, followed by the sound of fierce fighting.
"Listen, isn't someone coming?"
Zhao Wanqing said with delight.
The footsteps grew closer and closer, finally stopping at the entrance to the basement.
A familiar figure appeared—Arutai.
"Master, is that you?"
Arutai's voice carried a hint of uncertainty.
"Arutai, it's me!"
Leng Feng responded excitedly.
Arutai rushed over and unlocked their deadly lock.
Everyone looked at Arutai with gratitude, and stretched their arms and legs.
"Thank you, Arutai."
Qi Yuxuan said sincerely,
"We need to get out now."
"Don't worry, I will take you out and help you find a way out."
Arutai said firmly.
With Arutai's help, they successfully left the basement.
The moment they stepped out of the basement, the sunlight shone on them, as if foreshadowing new hope and a turning point.
"Let's go, I need to get there as soon as possible to see Twilight Sparkle."
Qi Yuxuan clenched his fists, his eyes filled with determination.
Qi Yuxuan and his companions walked through the gardens and courtyards of the Prince of Jin's mansion, just in time to meet Madam Cao, who was returning from visiting Qiu Ziyue.
Madam Cao was shocked; a knife was already pressed against her neck.
Just as the maid next to her was about to shout, Qi Yuxuan struck her pressure points and made her faint.
"Tell me, where is Twilight Sparkle?"
Madam Cao said:
"Qi Yuxuan, you've escaped."
Qi Yuxuan said:
"Madam Cao, I don't want to hurt you. Tell me where Ziyue is."
Having seen many grand occasions, Madam Cao was not afraid and said:
"Qi Yuxuan, I know you were Ziyue's ex-husband. You are indeed handsome and talented in both literature and martial arts. No wonder Ziyue liked you so much."
"Madam, stop your nonsense and tell me where my wife is."
Qi Yuxuan said anxiously.
"Qi Yuxuan, I know you and Ziyue were once a loving couple, but even a stone can be warmed one day."
"Madam, what do you mean by that?"
"Don't you understand?"
Madam Cao said:
"Ziyue and my son Yazi had a child, although the child died young. They were very close. I hope you can recognize the situation and let go."
"Letting go, absolutely not in this lifetime."
Upon hearing Madam Cao's words, Qi Yuxuan felt a sharp pain in his heart:
"Twilight Sparkle made a vow to me, to share joys and sorrows, she will never abandon me."
"Alright, since you don't believe me, I'll take you to see for yourself."
After Madam Cao finished speaking, she led Qi Yuxuan and his party toward Prince Jin's bedroom.
"Look!"
Arriving at the window, Madam Cao gestured for everyone to look inside.
Upon seeing this, Qi Yuxuan instantly felt dizzy.
Qiu Ziyue was resting quietly in Li Cunxu's arms, a very tender scene.
"See? They're so loving."
Qi Yuxuan steadied himself and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Yu Xuan, are you alright?"
Leng Feng, Zhao Wanqing, and Qiu Langyu cried out in alarm.
Qi Yuxuan ignored everyone, pushed them aside, and strode away.
But instead of leaving, he kicked the door open:
"Qiu Ziyue, you have to give me an explanation."
Qiu Ziyue was sound asleep when she was suddenly awakened by Qi Yuxuan's shout.
Her face was unusually pale, and her eyes were red and swollen from frequent crying.
She saw Qi Yuxuan glaring angrily at her from across the room.
Then she saw that she was actually in Li Cunxu's arms.
She hurriedly pushed Li Cunxu away.
"Yu Xuan, is that you? Am I dreaming?"
She got out of bed and walked barefoot to Qi Yuxuan:
Am I dreaming?
Qiu Ziyue muttered to herself, wanting to reach out and touch Qi Yuxuan's face.
Qi Yuxuan shoved Qiu Ziyue's hand away and then slapped her across the face.
"You bitch, you she-devil! I made a million mistakes by falling in love with you, but you still betrayed me. You have no shame..."
Caught off guard, Qiu Ziyue was slapped to the ground and then fainted.
Leng Feng, Qiu Langyu, and Zhao Wanqing rushed over and quickly pulled Qi Yuxuan away.
Madam Cao and Li Cunxu were greatly alarmed upon seeing this scene.
"Qi Yuxuan, you bastard!"
"Qi Yuxuan, how dare you hit my daughter-in-law!"
Li Cunxu rushed over and hugged Qiu Ziyue, calling out:
"Twilight Sparkle, wake up."
Li Cunxu carried Qiu Ziyue to bed to rest.
"Qi Yuxuan, have you gone mad?"
Qiu Langyu, Leng Feng, and Zhao Wanqing were alarmed and rushed to the bedside to check on Qiu Ziyue.
