Chapter 304 The Deepest Love, the Deepest Pain
Chapter 304 The Deepest Love, the Deepest Pain
Three months have passed since Qiu Ziyue transmigrated to this era.
During this time, she gradually adapted to life in ancient times, but she always felt that some invisible force was pulling her back.
Recently, she has often felt dizzy, as if a part of her body is gradually being lost.
Qi Yuxuan noticed her unusual behavior and hurriedly invited the most famous doctor in the city.
After a careful examination, the doctor frowned, looking somewhat puzzled.
"This young woman's symptoms are very strange, like she has a change of environment but not quite."
He pondered for a moment and then said...
"If this continues to develop, it will probably get worse, but I dare not draw any conclusions about the specific reasons."
Not only Qiu Ziyue, but Qi Yuxuan, Leng Feng, Zhao Wanqing and Qiu Langyu also experienced varying degrees of physical discomfort.
This made them begin to wonder if all of this was related to their time travel.
"Could this be a backlash from time travel?"
Qi Yuxuan said with a worried expression,
Shouldn't we consider returning to the modern world as soon as possible?
Everyone remained silent, seemingly deep in thought about the question.
Qiu Ziyue was also filled with conflicting emotions.
Although she wanted to go back as soon as possible, she felt the situation was unstable and wanted to help Li Cunxu again.
A few days later, Qiu Ziyue decided to go find Li Cunxu and say goodbye to him.
She arrived at the Prince of Jin's residence and met Li Cunxu, who was reviewing memorials.
Upon seeing her arrive, Li Cunxu's face lit up with a delighted smile, but he quickly noticed the worry in her eyes.
"What's wrong with you?" Li Cunxu asked with concern.
Qiu Ziyue took a deep breath and slowly opened her mouth:
"I've been feeling unwell lately, probably because of this time travel. I think we should go back."
Li Cunxu was stunned, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
Are you leaving? Can't you stay a little longer?
Qiu Ziyue's heart softened. Looking at Li Cunxu's expectant eyes, she couldn't bear to refuse him immediately.
"I'll think about it some more."
Li Cunxu breathed a sigh of relief and held her hand tightly.
"As long as you're willing to stay, that's fine. During this time, you should rest well and not overwork yourself."
Qiu Ziyue nodded.
Night fell, and the mansion was quiet.
Qiu Ziyue and Li Cunxu were enjoying tea and talking quietly in their tent.
As the moonlight shone down, the two reminisced about the past, as if time had stood still.
"Thanks to you all these days?"
Li Cunxu took a sip of tea and asked gently.
"It's okay, but I've been feeling dizzy lately."
Qiu Ziyue smiled slightly, trying to hide her unease.
The two chatted about many past events, from palace secrets to folk anecdotes, until it was late at night.
Qiu Ziyue glanced at the sky, stood up, and said:
"I should go back now."
However, as soon as she stood up, she felt dizzy and weak in her legs, almost unable to stand.
She held onto the edge of the table, barely managing to support herself.
"what happened to you?"
"I have no idea."
Qiu Ziyue's voice trembled slightly, and she felt her consciousness gradually fading.
What did you put in your tea?
She suddenly became alert and questioned him.
Li Cunxu's expression became complicated. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke:
"What else could it be but some sleeping pills plus your muscle-softening powder?"
Qiu Ziyue was startled, and her body felt even weaker.
She quickly pulled a small knife from her boot and made a small cut on her palm; blood seeped out.
"Changming, why? You've always been a gentleman, why would you do this?"
Her voice carried a hint of despair.
Li Cunxu sighed:
Do you remember the first time we met? I fell in love with you then, but for various reasons, I suppressed those feelings.
Li Cunxu's eyes showed pain as he continued:
"I was too soft-hearted before, which is why you left me. It wasn't until you left that I realized what I had lost."
Now I'm clear-headed; I need you to be happy.
Qiu Ziyue looked at him, her eyes full of confusion:
"So this is how you did it? No wonder you tried to kill Yu Xuan when you were dueling with him."
Li Cunxu was stunned, his face darkening:
"Only if he dies will I have a chance to have you."
Qiu Ziyue's heart tightened suddenly; it turned out that all of this was for her.
She felt utterly heartbroken: "Doing this will only push me further away from you."
Ignoring everything else, Li Cunxu rushed forward, embraced Qiu Ziyue, and placed her on the bed.
She began kissing Qiu Ziyue passionately.
Qiu Ziyue tried to push Li Cunxu away, but she couldn't muster any strength.
Li Cunxu's possessiveness overwhelmed him, and he began to untie Qiu Ziyue's skirt.
Tears welled up in Qiu Ziyue's captivating willow-leaf eyes, but Li Cunxu showed no sign of stopping.
Qiu Ziyue gritted her teeth and, with the last bit of strength she had left, plunged the needle into her own abdomen.
Instantly, blood seeped out and stained the white underwear red.
"Ziyue, why are you doing this? You sleep with Qi Yuxuan every day, can't you even spend one night with me?"
Qiu Ziyue felt a sharp pain and then fainted.
"Someone, someone, quickly fetch the army doctor!"
Upon seeing this, Li Cunxu shouted loudly.
The night was deep, and the lights inside the tents flickered.
The military doctor rushed to Li Cunxu's tent and saw Qiu Ziyue lying on the bed, her clothes stained red with blood from her abdomen.
The military doctor quickly began treatment, stopping the bleeding and bandaging the wound with practiced skill and speed.
Qiu Ziyue was pale and breathing weakly, but fortunately, she was not seriously injured.
Li Cunxu stood by, his eyes filled with guilt and anxiety.
He held Qiu Ziyue's hand tightly, as if that could convey a sense of warmth and strength.
"Twilight Sparkle, you have to hold on, I'm so sorry..."
Tears welled in his eyes as he spoke softly.
Meanwhile, Qi Yuxuan was anxiously waiting inside the house because Qiu Ziyue had not returned.
He had originally planned to come with Qiu Ziyue, but Qiu Ziyue said she wanted to say a final goodbye to Lu Yuanchangming and had a private chat with him.
However, Qiu Ziyue's failure to return made him uneasy.
Finally, he decided to go to Li Cunxu's camp to find out what was going on.
When he stepped into the tent, the sight before him stunned him instantly.
Qiu Ziyue lay on the bed, her body wrapped in bandages, her face deathly pale.
Li Cunxu stood to the side, his expression complex.
Qi Yuxuan's heart tightened suddenly, and he quickly stepped forward.
"How is this going?"
He practically yelled it out.
Li Cunxu sighed, his gaze darting away:
"I...I accidentally hurt her."
"careless?"
Qi Yuxuan's voice was filled with obvious anger.
"Explain yourself clearly what happened!"
Li Cunxu took a deep breath and remained silent.
A hint of doubt flashed in Qi Yuxuan's eyes, but he didn't ask any more questions.
He knew that the most important thing now was to ensure Qiu Ziyue's safety.
He turned to the medic: "How are her injuries?"
The medic wiped the sweat from his brow and replied:
"Although the wound isn't deep, she lost a lot of blood. She needs to rest well and avoid any further complications. I'll leave some medication to help her recover."
Qi Yuxuan nodded, then turned to look at Qiu Ziyue, his heart filled with worry and self-blame.
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let her come alone," he said softly.
