Chapter 543: Chapter 543

Ye Qichi wrote down some prescriptions and instructed Song Yanqing, "Cover Ruotong with the quilt properly and call the doctor in."

Song Yanqing quickly followed the instructions.

The doctor hurried over.

Ye Qichi handed the completed prescription to the doctor, saying, "Prepare and boil the medicine according to this prescription."

"Yes," the doctor responded respectfully and promptly.

Then quickly withdrew.

Ye Qichi returned to Xie Ruotong’s side, looking at her still pale cheeks.

Song Yanqing also stayed by her side the whole time.

Not daring to make a sound.

Just silently watching Xie Ruotong.

Watching her, still unconscious.

Neither Ye Qichi nor Song Yanqing spoke.

Inside the quiet room.

The doctor prepared the medicinal soup and brought it in.

After receiving it, Ye Qichi smelled it close to her nose.

Honestly, she really didn’t trust the people from the Song Family.

Otherwise, Xie Ruotong wouldn’t have been injured so severely.

Even though Ye Qichi never asked why Xie Ruotong had been stabbed in the back.

It is known that Xie Ruotong’s martial arts skills are top-notch; she wouldn’t easily fall victim to a sneak attack.

After Ye Qichi confirmed there was nothing wrong with the medicinal soup, she picked up a spoon and began feeding Xie Ruotong.

Xie Ruotong still did not have the instinct to eat on her own.

Just as Song Yanqing was about to speak.

He saw Ye Qichi lean over and whisper something in Xie Ruotong’s ear.

Then she continued to feed Xie Ruotong the medicine.

Xie Ruotong then began, slowly swallowing.

Song Yanqing pursed his lips.

Just watching Ye Qichi spoon by spoon, finishing the medicinal soup.

Xie Ruotong still hadn’t woken up.

Ye Qichi did not say when Xie Ruotong might wake up.

Song Yanqing seemed, too afraid to ask.

It seemed, as if he was scared to ask.

The day turned dark, and the night deepened.

In the interim, the Song Family sent over meals for Ye Qichi and Song Yanqing to eat.

Xie Ruotong had also taken the medicinal soup several times.

In the dead of night.

Xie Ruotong opened her eyes.

When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Ye Qichi, who was now asleep at the edge of her bed.

Xie Ruotong seemed to pull a smile on her lips.

At the moment Qiao’er died.

Seeing Qiao’er lying in a pool of blood.

She truly felt that the world was cold and cruel.

She once again felt a hint of warmth.

Making her suddenly feel.

That she could still go on living.

"Xie Ruotong." A familiar male voice gently called her. Follow current novᴇls on novel·fiɾe·net

Fearing, to startle her.

Fearing, that he might be hallucinating.

Song Yanqing hadn’t dared to sleep.

He was worried that if he fell asleep, something might happen to Xie Ruotong...

So he kept his eyelids propped open.

Watching Ye Qichi due to exhaustion fall asleep at the head of Xie Ruotong’s bed.

And then watching Xie Ruotong slowly open her eyes.

Opening her eyes, but not looking at him.

Only silently watching Ye Qichi who slept by her bedside.

Ye Qichi, hearing Song Yanqing’s voice, raised her head.

I had no idea how I just fell asleep.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Xie Ruotong had awakened and lazily asked, "How do you feel?"

Confident in her medical skills, she was not surprised at all by Xie Ruotong’s current state of consciousness.

"Not too bad," Xie Ruotong answered.

From beginning to end.

She really hadn’t set her eyes upon Song Yanqing.

"Not too bad?" Ye Qichi deliberately smiled, "I guess, you were awakened by the pain."

The injury on the back, close to the heart, without an anesthetic, was truly painful.

Xie Ruotong did not argue.

But to her, the pain really wasn’t much.

She experienced too much when she was young.

This feeling, she was accustomed to.

Song Yanqing, listening to their conversation, clenched his fists unconsciously tighter again.

He watched as Ye Qichi opened Xie Ruotong’s wound, watched the bloody mess on Xie Ruotong’s back... Just thinking about it felt like a heart-piercing pain.

"What happened?" Ye Qichi, while taking Xie Ruotong’s pulse, asked, "How did you get so badly injured?"

Not asking the Song Family, as she didn’t trust their narrative.

It didn’t mean she didn’t care about what Xie Ruotong had experienced.

Xie Ruotong looked up at Song Yanqing.

Song Yanqing’s lips were tightly pursed.

When he caught Xie Ruotong’s gaze, his look visibly flickered.

"Can you leave?" Xie Ruotong said to Song Yanqing.

Her voice was very weak.

But also, very clear.

Song Yanqing’s Adam’s apple bobbed.

"Take good care of your injuries," Song Yanqing nodded, then respectfully said to Ye Qichi, "Princess Chen, I shall take my leave first."

Ye Qichi acknowledged with a sound.

After he left, Xie Ruotong then told Ye Qichi everything.

Although it was somewhat humiliating.

For a famed assassin to be plotted against to this extent.

But towards Ye Qichi, she really didn’t want to hide anything from her.

She was naturally furious.

Does Daxuan Kingdom produce nothing but scoundrels?!

Song Yanqing is truly despicable.

Ye Qichi’s eyes slightly shifted.

There are some words she also didn’t wish to say outright.

After all, she didn’t want Xie Ruotong to forgive Song Yanqing.

She asked, "Do you want to leave here?"

She was sincerely asking her.

If she wanted to leave, she would take Xie Ruotong away.

The Song Family is definitely at fault regarding Xie Ruotong’s situation, and if Xie Ruotong wanted to leave, the Song Family wouldn’t be able to stop her.

And ultimately, the Song Family would also have to answer to the elder princess.

It was entirely the Song Family’s fault.

Xie Ruotong could leave freely.

"No," Xie Ruotong firmly refused.

Ye Qichi furrowed her eyebrows.

"It’s not that I still have feelings for Song Yanqing," Xie Ruotong said.

Truly cut off, all her feelings for him.

"I just feel that leaving is not worth it," Xie Ruotong looked at Ye Qichi, "Qiao’er died, after all, revenge is necessary."

Ye Qichi looked at Xie Ruotong.

Still the same Xie Ruotong.

Yet also, no longer the same Xie Ruotong.

Even though she was so weak that even smiling was hard.

Yet, she made Ye Qichi feel her resolve.

Ye Qichi nodded and smiled, saying, "Alright, then I’ll wait for you."

Waiting for you to take your revenge.

Together, we’ll ride across the rivers and lakes!
