Although she loves to joke, she knows her limits.

"Xiao Yunjian's condition is actually not too bad. He just consumed too much energy before and needs time to recover." Qu Xin explained.

"Consumed too much?" Jiang Xue was puzzled. Thinking back to the time when she fought against Xiao Yan, her master only used his true energy once. How could it consume so much?

"In order to bring you back to life, he paid the price of his entire life." Qu Xin's words were like a bombshell, causing waves in Jiang Xue's heart.

"What did you say?" Jiang Xue was shocked. This was the first time she knew that her rebirth was related to her master!

“It seems that Master didn’t tell you.” Qu Xin sighed, “Although she asked me to keep it a secret, I think you have the right to know the truth.

Your rebirth depends on the Five Poison Forbidden Techniques, which can change your fate, activate your life, and give you a chance to be reborn. But this power is not free, and must be exchanged for the fate of another person. "

Hearing this, Jiang Xue was completely stunned and her mind went blank.

Qu Xin continued, "When Xiao Yunjian learned of your death, he immediately came to Wudu and asked to use forbidden techniques to bring you back to life. From that moment on, the countdown to his life began."

"Countdown..." Jiang Xue repeated in a low voice, and Qu Shang's words of warning to Xiao Yunjian emerged in her mind: "Three chances, this is the second time. If you use internal force again next time, your meridians will burst and you will die."

The chances of life are limited, and every time he interferes with your destiny, he himself is one step closer to the end.

Three chances, and now only the last one remains.

Jiang Xue's body was shaking violently, and she could barely stand. If she hadn't been leaning against the bed rails, she would have collapsed to the ground.

Her eyes were blurred as she looked at Xiao Yunjian lying on the bed. Her heart was filled with guilt, gratitude, respect, and unspeakable anxiety. These emotions hit her soul like a strong wind and huge waves, making it difficult for her to breathe.

"Master..." Her voice was choked with sobs. She slowly knelt beside Xiao Yunjian's bed, holding his arm tightly, tears falling like beads from a broken string.

Hearing the crying, Xiao Zhan rushed into the room.

"What happened?" He saw Jiang Xue kneeling on the ground crying, and felt heartbroken. He immediately squatted down and hugged her in his arms, while casting sharp eyes at Qu Xin.

"Don't look at me, this has nothing to do with me." Qu Xin spread his hands and shrugged, acting as if it was none of his business.

"What's wrong? Changle, why are you crying?" The Queen Mother came over upon hearing the noise, and seeing this scene, her already uneasy mood became even heavier. She thought something was wrong with Xiao Yunjian, and her face turned pale with anxiety.

"What exactly happened? Why is Princess Changle so sad? Could it be..." Concubine Feng sneered secretly. She felt that this was a good opportunity and planned to take this opportunity to accuse Jiang Xue in order to shake the Queen Mother's trust in her.

Concubine Feng winked at Qu Xin, but the latter ignored her.

Qu Xin turned to Xiao Zhan and explained, "She just feels sorry for her master. There's no need to be too nervous."

"So, His Highness Yun Jian is in a coma because of Princess Changle?" Concubine Feng seized the opportunity and spoke loudly, trying to attract more people's attention.

"What does Concubine Feng mean by this?" Fu Dong frowned and looked at Concubine Feng coldly.

"When the master is speaking, it is not your turn as a servant to interrupt." Concubine Feng reprimanded, "Princess Changle, keep your maid in check. This is the imperial palace, not a barbaric place. Don't let her talk or act recklessly."

"Empress Feng, Fudong just asked for your opinion. Why are you so harsh?" Qing Feng stepped forward and stood in front of Fudong to block Concubine Feng's cold gaze for her.

Although he was smiling, there was a chill in his eyes. On the surface, Qing Feng was Xiao Zhan's bodyguard, but in fact, he and Tie Yi grew up with Xiao Zhan, and their status was far from what they saw on the surface.

Xiao Zhan treated them as brothers, and no one dared to disrespect them, not even the concubines in the harem.

"Guard Qingfeng, you are too partial to this girl." With Qingfeng's protection, Concubine Feng didn't dare to say anything to Fudong.

But her real target is Jiang Xue.

Once Jiang Xue is defeated, it will be easy to deal with Fu Dong.

"Empress Dowager, you heard what the young lady said just now. His Highness Yun Jian is in a coma, and it seems to be related to Princess Changle.

He is your biological son. How could you let a suspect stay with him for so long? Maybe Princess Changle gave him some medicine to prevent him from waking up and revealing the truth. "

Concubine Feng turned to the Empress Dowager to complain, knowing that she was worried about the accusations against Jiang Xue by the court officials.

If we can take advantage of this opportunity to add fuel to the fire, perhaps we can get rid of Jiang Xue through the Queen Mother.

Thinking of this, Concubine Feng felt very proud.

At this moment, Jiang Xue's mind was full of the sacrifices Xiao Yunjian had made for her. She felt extremely guilty and turned a deaf ear to Concubine Feng's slander.

Seeing her lost soul, Xiao Zhan felt uneasy. He didn't know what had happened before to make Xiaoxue so depressed.

Combined with what Qu Xin said before, he guessed that this matter must involve his father.

"Changle, does Yun Jian's situation really have anything to do with you?" the Queen Mother asked tentatively.

Jiang Xue remained silent.

The Queen Mother's face darkened, and she turned to Qu Xin and asked, "Tell me, is there any connection?"

As a mother, she would not allow anyone to hurt her children, not even her granddaughter.

"Yes and no." Qu Xin looked directly into the Queen Mother's eyes and said firmly.

"What's the point of your answer?" Concubine Feng asked angrily, "Behave yourself in front of the Queen Mother."

She had already discussed with this woman before that once there was an opportunity, she would frame Jiang Xue for Xiao Yunjian's coma.

But now the woman gave an ambiguous answer.

"I have answered very seriously." Qu Xin said calmly, spreading his hands and looking at Concubine Feng, "No matter how you ask, my answer is this: yes and no. Think about it yourself."

"How dare you be so rude." Princess Feng was angered by her attitude and raised her hand to teach this ignorant woman a lesson. But before her slap landed, Qu Xin had already quickly grabbed her wrist.

Qu Xin twisted it gently, and Concubine Feng's wrist made a crisp sound like a fragile reed.

Qu Xin sneered: "I have tolerated you for a long time."

Her purple eyes turned blood red at this moment, and there seemed to be a blood-colored jade hook flashing in her eyes, and her whole body exuded a chilling aura.

Feeling this powerful force, Jiang Xue frowned and stood up hurriedly, trying to calm the dispute: "Qu Xin, calm down."

The power of Yinglong, this dangerous power can only be controlled by very few people, and today, Qu Xin actually showed this power, which surprised Jiang Xue... Can this girl really control it?

The Queen Mother saw this and immediately stopped him: "Stop, this is the Imperial Palace, how can you be so presumptuous? Come, arrest her."
