Qi Ziqi, the old servant, and Duan Qi immediately rushed towards Marquis Duan, who was lying on the ground with his eyes closed.
The old servant trembled and reached out his hand, testing out Marquis Duan’s breath, revealing an unimaginable expression. He threw himself on the ground and burst into tears. Qi Ziqi urgently asked, “How’s Father?” He followed and reached out, touching his pale and cold skin with almost non-existent breath. His eyes darkened, and he suddenly frozen in place.
Duan Qi quickly helped the young master, and Qi Ziqi suddenly let out a cry from his throat.
Jiang Yun said to Sui Heng, “I’ll go over there first.”
Sui Heng nodded and temporarily released the person without asking the reason, only standing on the side and watching. Jiang Yun walked over and stopped by Qi Ziqi’s side. Qi Ziqi was silently shedding tears while holding Marquis Duan’s body.
Jiang Yun said, “Let me try.”
Qi Ziqi looked up and stared at Jiang Yun, nodding.
Jiang Yun kneeled down in his robe, took over Marquis Duan, wielded his energy between his palm, and slowly stroked the back of Marquis Duan’s heart. The people recognized Marquis Duan and all came to watch.
They saw a young gentleman in a green robe sitting alone in the darkness, holding Marquis Duan, who was in a luxurious ink robe in his arms. One hand was pressing on Marquis Duan’s back, healing his injuries.
Just now, it was this young gentleman who rushed into the sea of fire and rescued Marquis Duan.
Marquis Duan implemented the Order of Balance in the Qi Kingdom, executed nobles, and restricted their power. In the past few years, he has been in charge of countless people who were bullied by nobles, helped them reclaim the land occupied by nobles, presided over justice for those who were arbitrarily slaughtered by nobles, and vindicated unjust cases. The existence of Marquis Duan has given the people of the Qi capital the last glimmer of hope in this country where aristocrats are rampant and oppressive.
Qi Ziqi eagerly waited on the side, but sensible enough not to disturb Jiang Yun. He looked at Jiang Yun and his father under the reflection of the fire and suddenly saw something strangely similar between the two.
This is something he doesn’t have.
Qi Ziqi showed a bewildered expression.
Jiang Yun’s long eyelashes are slightly drooped, quietly pouring the ironic internal force into Marquis Duan’s body in a steady stream.
The texture of the fabric between his palms and the cold body beneath the fabric gave him a strange and unfamiliar feeling.
This is their first intimate encounter, and perhaps it will be their last. After a moment, Marquis Duan’s body finally reacted, and he spat out a mouthful of black blood.
That is due to blockage of the heart meridian, resulting in the accumulation of blood stasis at the heart opening.
A mouthful of black blood came out, and Marquis Duan’s breathing finally became stronger, and his body began to gradually recover its temperature.
Jiang Yun withdrew his hand and said to Qi Ziqi, “He’s fine now.”
Qi Ziqi was overjoyed, tears streaming down his eyes again, and said, “Thank you, Chu Yan.”
Jiang Yun did not correct his title, he lowered his eyes and carefully looked at the face of the man in his arms. He looked at his still tightly closed eyes, pale and bloodless skin, thin and pale lips, and the slightly exposed blue blood vessels on the back of his hands. After looking for a long time, he returned Marquis Duan to Qi Ziqi’s hand and said, “I’m just helping him temporarily alleviate his injury. He’s seriously injured and has inhaled a large amount of smoky ash. He needs to seek medical treatment immediately. I’ll send two imperial physicians to you, take him back to the mansion immediately.”
Qi Ziqi urgently asked, “And you?”
Jiang Yun stood up and said lightly, “I won’t be with you guys anymore.”
The fire was still burning on the high platform. Jiang Yun walked back to Sui Heng’s side, held his hand, smiled lightly, and said, “We also go back too.”
He has a bright and unrestrained smile.
Sui Heng looked at the other side thoughtfully and said, “You’re done being busy?”
Jiang Yun nodded.
Sui Heng withdrew his gaze and didn’t say anything more. He picked Jiang Yun up and got on his horse.
Qi Ziqi looked at this scene in shock and wanted to say something more, but he was afraid because Sui Heng was by his side and did not step forward.
“Young Master.”
A hoarse voice came from behind.
The old servant felt ashamed, got up, walked forward, and kneeled down in front of Jiang Yun.
He didn’t speak; he kneeled on the ground, his shoulders trembling and crying uncontrollably.
Duan Qi also led the other trusted subordinates of Marquis Duan and silently kneeled down in front of Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun said to Sui Heng, “Let’s go.”
The Qingque Terrace’s fire burned all night, and King Lie of Qi set himself on fire. At this point, the Qi Kingdom was destroyed, and the gold sales cave built by King Lie of Qi turned the land of sin that the world has heard of into ashes, along with King Lie, this debauched tyrant.
No one would have imagined that one of the three great countries in the world, which had once flourished, would collapse in such a way. The Sui army conquered most of the cities of Qi in just one night with a speed of destruction and decay.
Due to Sui Heng’s strict order not to harm civilians or they will be severely punished based on military law. After the initial panic and running, the Qi capital streets have gradually regained calm. The flames of Qingque Terrace and the news of King Lie’s sudden death have attracted the attention of most people.
The people returned home with peace of mind when they saw that the Sui army was in a neat and orderly formation, without any infringement on the people.
Jiang Yun and Sui Heng rode on a horse together and walked at the forefront.
Xu Qiao and Fan Zhou followed closely behind.
Although Fan Zhou had become somewhat numb, he still couldn’t believe the facts before his eyes.
Xu Qiao happily pulled him to chat, so he didn’t have to be too nervous.
Fan Zhou looked at the distance he had fallen behind and exclaimed discontentedly, “General Xu, what are you always pulling me for?”
Xu Qiao said, “The humble admires the Master and really wants to ask some questions of advice. Besides, it’s not appropriate for us to be too close when our two Highnesses are talking, are we?”
Fan Zhou couldn’t finish a word and glanced at him.
He felt that the people under the Crown Prince of Sui are really as thick-skinned as the other party.
Jiang Yun nestled in Sui Heng’s arms and said, “You should have guessed everything.”
Sui Heng “En” with a cold face.
He is not foolish. Even if he had no knowledge of Jiang Yun’s actions tonight, he could still guess some.
Jiang Yun looked up at his face and asked, “Are you still angry?”
Sui Heng still had a cold face and gritted his teeth.
“And you have the nerve to ask Gu.”
He can never forget the scene when he rushed into the sea of fire and the feeling of his heart exploding in that moment in his lifetime. God knows how worried and scared he was at that moment, yet he still had to show a calm and composed demeanor in front of others.
He is really going to die of anger.
Jiang Yun raised the corner of his mouth, lifted his head, gently touched his face, and said, “I was wrong, alright?”
The Silver Clothes Guards also brought Emperor Jiang, who had fainted, to the inn to settle down and rest.
At night, Jiang Yun developed a high fever without warning.
Divine Physician Meng Hui, was far away at Muyun Pass. Sui Heng ordered Xu Qiao to arrest all the imperial physicians in the city to treat Jiang Yun.
After checking, the imperial physicians said it was caused by excessive fatigue. Sui Heng instructed them to prescribe a prescription, personally observing the decoction, and then, like a gatekeeper, personally guarding Jiang Yun’s bedside, not allowing anyone to approach.
Jiang Yun didn’t have any nightmares; he just lay quietly with his eyes closed. Sui Heng examined his body and found many small silver thread wounds in his arms. After taking a few bites of the decocted medicine, Jiang Yun vomited them out.
Sui Heng knew that Jiang Yun’s stomach disease was more severe than before.
