CHAPTER 11
This body is not strong enough to endure anymore. Despair came, Bai Xue Jian was ready to face the god of death now.
But unexpectedly, in the midst of the dim vision, he saw a man approaching him. The man stretched out his hand to be able to grab the little Bai Xue Jian who had sunk to the bottom of the river.
Greb!
Bai Xue Jian could feel that the man had grabbed her hand. His eyes faintly saw the face of this god who saved his life. But he couldn't see clearly, his eyes were tightly closed and he was unconscious.
***
Hosh... Hosh...
The man had managed to get out of the river water. He was panting because he was almost out of breath in the water. Feeling lucky because he has good martial arts skills, he can only fight the rushing river water and get to the edge by helping the little girl who is drowning.
The little girl was still unconscious, lying beside his body. After catching his breath, the man began to examine the girl he had just helped.
He checked the pulse in his neck, and also the heart was still beating. The man was lucky the girl was still saved. Luckily he came late to save her earlier.
The heroic savior just now really made him nervous. The young man could breathe a sigh of relief because the little girl he was helping was still breathing and just unconscious.
"Cough..."
Bai Xue Jian coughed while spitting out some of the river water he had swallowed earlier. The young man who saved him immediately came back to check on him.
Bai Xue Jian slowly opened his eyes. The sunlight was not clearly visible, the vision that was still not perfect was immediately greeted by the face of a handsome young man who was very close in front of him.
"You... You helped me?" he asked still in a small voice.
It wasn't clear what he asked, the man didn't answer. He helped Bai Xue Jian to sit down and pounded the little girl's back to expel the remaining swallowed river water.
"Cough..."
This last cough had expelled all the remaining water that had been swallowed. Bai Xue Jian started to regulate his breathing as he regained his senses, recalling all the events that had happened before.
Finally remembering it, earlier when it was sinking, Bai Xue Jian could faintly see the figure of a man approaching her while holding out his hand. However after the man managed to grab her hand, Bai Xue Jian was unconscious. Now woke up already on land with the man.
"You are okay?" asked the young man.
"Yes, thank you for saving me," Bai Xue Jian replied.
They both started to stand up. Both of their clothes were soaking wet from falling into the river earlier. However, we are still grateful that our lives can still survive and return to the mainland together.
"May I know your name?" asked little Bai Xue Jian.
"I am this Prince of the Wei Dynasty, Helian Qi!"
Flashback off.
All the shadows of the past are still remembered throughout the story. The hero who once saved Bai Xue Jian, will always be remembered for all time.
Bai Xue Jian had stared at the moon for too long when he recalled the incident. He began to regain consciousness and remember what he must do now.
The body turned around, staring at the bed that Prince Xuan had occupied on top of it. The man was fast asleep until he let out a loud snoring sound. Bai Xue Jian could only chuckle and hold back his laughter.
The young man who once saved his life, had no idea that he was now his own husband. Helian Qi who didn't dare anymore like before, didn't make Bai Xue Jian feel complaining. Despite having a husband who couldn't do anything about it, for him seeing Prince Xuan's smile and having fun with him was more than enough.
"Only people with determination can survive in this world. Only two years left, I hope enough for myself to protect you and stabilize this Wei kingdom," he said.
Krieet...
It was only after Bai Xue Jian left the room that Helian Qi opened his eyes. In fact, he hadn't slept at all and was just acting. Don't let his disguise as a stupid prince be exposed by the female general.
"What does that woman really want? Stabilize the Wei kingdom? Does she want to rebel?" Helian Qi asked himself.
For him, there was no one to trust, not even himself. Helian Qi who only pretended to be a stupid Prince, was always wary of those who approached him. Always assume that person has bad intentions. In the end, only murder was the final path taken by him.
But in his heart, Helian Qi felt that Bai Xue Jian was a sincere woman. Saying he wanted to protect her, seemed right in his heart. Between mind and heart, this time it couldn't unite within his own body.
"Feng Yun!" called Helian Qi.
"I'm here, Prince!" Feng Yun also came in a short time, less than a second he had appeared before his master.
"How is the Emperor's health condition?" he asked the shadow soldier.
"The Emperor's condition is deteriorating. The medicine that the palace physician has given is actually only worsening the Emperor's state of health. All the healers within the palace have become Queen Qing Yun's people," Feng Yun replied.
"Unlucky!"
Helian Qi gritted his teeth. He was so furious because Queen Qing Yun's attitude was getting more and more troublesome for the royal palace. Even to the point of daring to poison his Emperor's Father.
However, no matter how angry Helian Qi was, he still couldn't do anything about it. He was still gathering the strength of the hidden military forces only to be able to appear in public if he was not a stupid Prince.
"Ask Fan Bai of medicine. Give it to Emperor Father quietly," he ordered.
"Well!"
In an instant, Feng Yun walked away from Helian Qi. The master has issued an order, so it must be carried out immediately.
The more he thought about it, the more Helian Qi became angrier. It was as if he wanted to kill the woman who had poisoned his Emperor's Father. But it still can't be done now. Chu Huang Yan, has put half the power of this Wei kingdom in his hands. If you attack rashly, you will only harm yourself.
Helian Qi could only ask his friend Fan Bai to make an antidote for Emperor Hui. Fan Bai who was a magical healer of the Wei kingdom, had been his ally for a long time. Only Fan Bai could make Emperor Hui survive until he was ready to rebel against Empress Qing Yun.
"Looks like I need to test her. Is she Queen Qing Yun's person or not."
***
Bai Xue Jian who was not used to sleeping at night, decided to go to the Yunlin camp. This military base was the largest warrior force in the Wei Dynasty. The Yunlin Camp was already under his control. Apart from the Emperor, only Bai Xue Jian was able to command the soldiers of the Yunlin Camp as he pleased.
General Xue's military tent.
Inside, Bai Xue Jian had gathered with his confidants. He wanted to know all the information that had happened in the royal palace recently.
"What?! The emperor was poisoned?!"
